JOHN HUNTER THOMPSON (1808-1890) PORTRAIT OF JOHN NICHOLSON, 'THE AIREDALE POET' (1790-1843) head and shoulders, signed, dated and inscribed verso (This Portrait of John Nicholson the AIREDALE POET John H Thompson Pinxit 1833) oil on canvas, 30.5 x 26cm John Nicholson the Poet of the West Riding was born near Harewood, Yorkshire. Educated privately, he was engaged as a wool sorter in his father's factory, which was to remain his lifelong occupation interrupted by periods of 'dissipation' (DNB) and his writing.H work first appeared in print in 1821, but his poetic ability was recognised four years later with the appearance of Airedale in Ancient Times. Although ill educated some of his shorter compositions are not without originality and even grace (DNB). The Belfast born artist John Hunter Thompson was a sociable and popular member of the thriving Bradford artistic milieu of painters writers and poets that included Branwell Bronte, whose 'salon' and place of annual re-union was The George Hotel, a coaching inN run by the hospitable Margaret Reaney (1815-1893). The present portrait of John Nicholson may be the one mentioned by Butler Wood in 'Some Old Bradford Artists (the Bradford Antiquary 1895, pp 208-209). A friend and contemporary of both men and Branwell Bronte in his ultimately futile attempt to pursue a career as an artist, was the Bradford born portrait painter and early photographer William Overend Geller (1804-1882) who, although spending much of his career in London, maintained strong local connections. It is his portrait of the by then renowned Airedale Poet, similar in composition to the present small scale head and shoulders, by which Nicholson's appearance is known to posterity.++Three old patched repairs on the reverse of the support otherwise unlined, paint shrinkage and retouched cracqueleur, varnish dirty

AMERICAN WAR OF INDEPENDENCE INTEREST. A GEORGE III SILVER TESTIMONIAL SOUP TUREEN AND COVER the flared oval cover surmounted by the seated figure of Britannia , her left arm resting on an oval shield, the fluted tureen engraved with armorials, 35cm h, by John Wakelin & William Taylor, London 1780, the cover 1779, 111ozsProvenance: Purchased from Marks Antiques, London, 2002. The inscription reads: To Sir Richard Pearson Kt who on the 23rd Septr 1779 in his Majesty's Ship Serapis protected a numerous and valuable FLEET on their Voyage from the BALTIC from the Attacks of a superior FORCE. The Russia Company present this TERRINE as a Testimony of their Sense of his Bravery & Conduct on that OCCASION. This magnificent tureen was undoubtedly the most splendid of the testimonial plate, other gifts and freedoms that acknowledged the spirited defence put up by Sir Richard Pearson (1731-1806), Captain of HMS "Serapis" in the protection of a large convoy bound for England from the Baltic. It was attacked by a squadron under the command of the controversial figure of John Paul Jones (1747-1792) he Scots' born, first well-known commander in American naval history. In what was to be known as the Battle of Flamborough Head Captain Pearson engaged the "Bonhomme Richard", commanded by J. Jones' vessel was so damaged in the action that, despite attempts at repair, he was compelled to abandon ship. Instead of returning to France Jones made for the nominally neutral Holland in the "Serapis" with the captive Pearson. When Pearson was rewarded with a knighthood Jones remarked "Should I have the good fortune to fall in with him again, I'll make a Lord of him". Jones' eventful life and the high status he was accorded as an American hero of the War of Independence especially following the re-interment of his remains in the Naval Academy at Annopolis was celebrated in the 1959 film 'John Paul Jones', in which he was played by Robert Stark and Pearson by Peter Cushing. ++In excellent preservation, marks on figure illegible but no other signs of wear. The other marks well spaced and struck, no repair, no later engraving, no splits or dents
