The Distinguished Service Medal to Engine Room Artificer Ivan Charles Glover who served in H.M.S. Penelope throughout the Second World War: D.S.M., George VI (MX. 55917 I.C. GLOVER. E.R.A, 3,), attractively toned and about as struck; together with a small quantity of ephemera and research, and two copies of 'Our Penelope', including the recipient's own First Edition. H.M.S. Penelope won enduring fame for her service as part of Force K based at Malta during 1941 and 1942. During this period of intense action she sustained so much damage that she earned the nickname 'HMS Pepperpot'. She underwent repairs in New York in the summer of 1942, during which time the book was produced, the first edition being presented to members of the ship's company. A list in the later edition confirms the recipient as having been present during the arduous fighting around Malta. She saw further service in the Mediterranean in 1943. The recipient' D.S.M. was gazetted with the New Year's Honours 01/01/44 under a general heading citing "zeal, patience and cheerfulness in dangerous waters and for setting an example of wholehearted devotion to duty, upholding the high traditions of the Royal Navy". He never received his medal, for on the 18th February 1944, Penelope was torpedoed in the engine room and boiler room by submarine U-410, and sank. E.R.A. Glover was among the 417 men who perished with her. His D.S.M. was presented to his brother and sister at Buckingham Palace in May 1944.

Sydney Alex Kumalo (South African 1935-1988) MOSES'S DISCIPLE bronze PROVENANCE Acquired directly from the artist. Authenticated by the artist's family. height: 31cm Sydney Kumalo started his career at the Polly Street Art Centre in 1953 receiving classes from Cecil Skotnes. Between 1958 and 1960 he worked for the sculptor Edoardo Villa to gain experience. After his first commissions for churches in Kroonstad and Orlando his career took off and by the mid-1960s he was hailed as one of South Africa’s greatest sculptors. MOSES AND HIS DISCIPLES (Aaron and Joshua) were originally part of three free-standing figures sold as a set and exhibited at the Goodman Gallery in Johannesburg as well as the Ann Zinn Gallery in Cape Town during 1979. After the exhibition Kumalo agreed that the sculptures should be sold individually. The sculptures were cast in an edition of 5. In 1982 the Cape Town Civic Centre commissioned Kumalo to create a bronze for the Centre. Kumalo created four maquettes namely The Matriarch, The Blessing, Joy I and Joy II. The work titled, The Blessing was chosen, and Joy II seems to have only been cast for the artist in an edition of 1. Sydney Kumalo passed away in 1988. Following his death the Goodman Gallery and the artist’s family continued to cast work posthumously. For this reason there are several works by the artist that were only cast after his death, especially those works with higher edition numbers and works that were created later in his life. What is the difference you might ask? Although a posthumous cast is not considered fake, the complete work was not approved by the artist and in some art circles it is seen as an inadequate representation of the artist’s work and therefore not an original. Although they can be of the same quality of finishing they will have a lesser value in the secondary art market. CDK

Sydney Harpley RA (1927-1992) ''Singapore Girl on a Swing'' Signed in the cast and numbered 4/6, 6 June 1984, on a black slate base and stand, bronze, life size Bronze: 158cm high, 170cm wide (approx.) Base: 45cm high, 88cm wide, 62cm deep Plinth: 8cms high, 84cm wide, 59cm deep Exhibited: Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, 1984, V15 Harrogate Festival Exhibition, 1985 On loan to the Mercer Art Gallery and the Harrogate Town Hall since 1991 *Artists' Resale Rights/Droit de Suite may apply to this lot, please refer to our Terms of Business Sydney Harpley was born in 1927 and served in the army National service 1945-48. Between 1950-53 Harpley studied sculpture at Hammersmith School of Art, where he gained the National Diploma in Art and Design. This was followed with a period spent at the Royal College of Art from 1953-56 and was made an Associate of the Royal College of Art. Harpley first exhibited sculpture at the Young Contemporaries in London and the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition of 1954, subsequently exhibiting at the latter every year. Harpley has held a number of highly successful one man shows, including those at The Society of Arts, Cape Town, South Africa (1964), Adler Fielding Gallery, Johannesburg, South Africa (1964), The White House Gallery, Breda, Holland (1974), Nevil Gallery Bath, UK, (1983) to name but a few amongst others within Europe and the United Kingdom. Mixed exhibitions have also been numerous within England. In 1958/9 Harpley was commissioned by London County Council to produce two sculptures, which was quickly followed by a commission from Hemel Hempstead New Town in 1960 for another four works. Cape Town has an over life size memorial to Jan Christian Smuts, amongst other international commissions, but perhaps ''Girl on Swing'' for the Singapore Botanical Gardens of 1984 is most notable here being no.1 from the edition of 6 and commissioned by his Excellency David Marshall, Singapore Ambassador to France. Harpley also lectured at several art schools within the United Kingdom and acted within various committees including the Selection Committee for RA, the Summer Exhibition (1975-76), Council of RA (1975-6) & 1982-3. Bronzes by this important Neo-Romantic artist can be found in many international and national collections including the National Gallery of New Zealand, the National Gallery of South Africa, Bradford City Art Gallery, University of Leeds (The Stanley and Audrey Burton Gallery), Samuel Josefowitz Collection, Geneva, Fleur Cowles Meyer Collection, London and the Paul Mellon Collection, USA. He has also produced several significant portrait busts on commission which include: HSH Prince Albert of Monaco for HSH Princess Grace of Monaco, Lee Kwan Yew, Prime Minister of Singapore and Viscount Villiers for Lord Jersey to name but a few. Sydney Harpley's work captures the full grace of the female form. ''Girl on a Swing'' should be considered one of his finest works representing neo-romanticism in its purest form and arguably equivalent to some of the earlier work produced by Degas and Rodin of a similar theme.
