16 – AMY’S COAT OF ARMS - Design by: Roger RoachArtist: Sarah TaylorSponsor: Hull City CouncilAbout the Design:The artist behind this moth’s design initially chose to focus on a celebration of Amy Johnson’s famous solo flight in 1930 between England and Australia.

He is now retired and able to dedicate time to his own work.

George E. Marston (1882-1940), A View of Mount Erebus, signed in pencil and dated 1.02.(19)08, pastel, framed. 18.5cm by 25cm. Provenance: From the artist to one of Sir Ernest Shackleton's sisters, thence to Reginald Burford and by descent. The vendor is unaware of which of Shackleton's sisters gave the painting to her father whom, we understand, was the son of an employee working at the lady's building in London in 1941. Note: the official artist of Shackleton's Nimrod (1907-09) and Endurance (1914-17) voyages, Marston was also an author, singer and amateur actor. From his days as a student at the Regent Street Polytechnic, he was a friend of Shackleton's sister Kathleen. He is also believed to have been a friend of another of the explorer's sisters, Helen. Kathleen Shackleton wrote to Marston prior to his departure for the Nimrod expedition in 1907 saying "mind you do your own style of work...don't mind Ernest....he knows nothing about Art". The subject work must have been completed by Marston just prior to his ascent of Mount Erebus in March 1908 as one of a party of six making the first ascent and led by Jameson Adams. The Nimrod expedition famously got within ninety-seven miles of the South Pole and Marston used much of his time to produce works such as this some of which became illustrations for "Aurora Australis", the book commemorating the voyage. Having been engaged again by Shackleton for his ill-fated subsequent Endurance expedition, Marston returned to England from the voyage and became an art teacher at Bedales School in Hampshire, later becoming Director of the Rural Industries Bureau, playing a major role in the national initiative to regenerate small rural-based craft industries.

Henry Woods R.A. (British, 1846-1921), San Trovaso, Venice, signed, inscribed and dated, "Henry Woods/Venice/1906", oil on canvas. 96.5cm by 61cm. Provenance: purchased from Harrod's in the late 1960's by a private collector. Exhibited: Royal Academy, London 1906, no. 28. Note: Woods first went to Venice in 1876 at the recommendation of his friend the prominent English painter Luke Fildes. Thenceforth most of his exhibited paintings are of Venetian scenes. Woods paintings are not in the tradition of Canaletto or Guardi but rather seek to capture the life of ordinary Venetians, usually along small narrow canals. The subject work is typical of his genre.

Attributed to Maud Earl (British, 1864-1943), "Terrier and Bust", unsigned, oil on canvas, bearing old label verso with title and attribution, in a gilt-composition frame. 49cm by 60cm Note: Earl was a prominent British-American artist known for her canine paintings. Her father, uncle and brother were also successful animal painters and it was her father, George, who was her first teacher. Born in London, she studied at the Royal Female School of Art and later exhibited a number of works at the Royal Academy. She became famous at a time when women were not expected to make their living through working as an artist, but she developed a very select clientele and counted Queen Victoria, Edward VII and Queen Alexandra amongst her patrons. In 1916 she emigrated to New York City.

Attributed to John "Jock" Wilson H.R.S.A. (Scottish, 1774-1855), Coastal Shipping with Figures on the Shore, oil on board, label with attribution verso and further inscribed in pencil, old collector's label, in a gilt-composition frame. 26cm by 41cm. Note: Wilson was born at Ayr and was apprenticed at 13 to John Norie of Edinburgh as a house painter and not infrequent painter of decorative landscape panels. He is believed to have had some tuition in painting from Alexander Nasmyth. After moving to London he started work as a theatrical scenery painter. He is first mentioned as exhibiting at the Royal Academy in 1807. He principally exhibited at the British Institution and the Society of British Artists. He was elected an Honorary Member of the Royal Scottish Academy in 1827 and regularly exhibited there too. In later life he moved to Folkestone where coastal shipping scenes such as the subject picture provided much of the material for his paintings.

Walter Bertram Potter (1872-1918), "Close of Day", monogrammed lower right, oil on canvas, in a gilt composition frame. 34.5cm by 49.5cm Note: Potter was the younger brother of Beatrix Potter. Born to a wealthy family with artistic leanings, both children had a great interest in the countryside and spent summer holidays in Perthshire and the Lake District. It was Bertram who first encouraged Beatrix to publish early rabbit drawings as greetings cards in 1890 and she continued to seek his advice on illustrations for her books. Although overshadowed by his elder sister, Bertram Potter became an artist in his own right exhibiting at The Royal Academy between 1894 and 1903 and at the Royal Scottish Academy. He purchased Ashburn Farm near Ancrum in the Scottish Borders around 1900 and settled to a life of painting and farming. The subject picture is believed to be of moorland near Ancrum.
