FRENCH DAGUERREOTYPE PORTRAIT BY VICTOR CHEVALIER, c.1841 A fine early portrait of an unidentified gentleman:, overall size 23.2 x 21cm., plate size 9.5 x 8.2cm., with octagonal paper matt, max. 7 x 6.2cm. The verso bears the label of V. Chevalier, 77 Quai de l'Horloge, and the legend, 'Portraits au Daguerreotype en Quelques Secondes'. * Notes Victor Chevalier, 1770-1841, is recorded in 'Notice des Produits de l'Industrie Française' for 1834 as 'ingénieur-opticien', with many patents to his credit. A cartouche of a camera (top right of the label) embracing the names of Chevalier and Daguerre, and the primitive paper matt, the lack of a case, the claim of daguerreotypes in a few seconds (presumably after the introduction of the first accelerator), the characteristic blue tone of the plate, and the year of Chevalier's death, 1841, together suggest a daguerreotype taken in 1841 or prior.

* John Piper [1903-1992]- North Moreton Church, Berkshire:- signed bottom right, further signed, inscribed and dated 1941 on the backboard, oil on canvas laid on panel, 49 x 65cm. * Provenance. The Redfern Gallery Ltd., Cork Street, London * Biography. John Piper was a painter, notably of architecture and landscape, a designer of stained glass, theatre designer, author and writer. He was born in Epsom and in his early years studied law, [1921-1926], working in his father's law firm. From 1926 he went on to study Art at Richmond and Kingston, latterly at the Royal College, and it was here that he met and married his first wife Eileen Holding. He visited Paris and was absorbed by the abstract painters he met there, influencing his style from the early 1930s. But by the late 1930s he had reverted to representational work. In 1937 he worked, along with John Betjamin, on the famous Shell series of guide books. His first solo show, of collages and drawings, was at the London Gallery in 1938. At this time he was also a prolific writer, working for the New Statesman and the Athenaeum. John Piper went on to exhibit with the Leicester Galleries from 1940-1960. In 1942 he published the best-selling monograph, English Romantic Artists. His ballet designs included The Quest in 1943 and commissions for Benjamin Britten .He was an official War Artist from 1939-1945. In 1940 Piper persuaded the War Artists Commission that he should be painting the sights of bombed churches. As a recent convert to the Anglican Church and with the subject of ruined buildings being close to his heart, this agreed commission produced a number of his finest mixed media drawings. His stained glass window designs include Coventry Cathedral and Christchurch College Chapel, Oxford. He also created tapestries for Chichester Cathedral, Hereford and Llandaff. In the 1960s and 1970s Piper spent time painting extensively in Pembrokeshire. Retrospectives were held at The Museum of Modern Art, Oxford in 1979 and The Tate Gallery in 1983. Centenary shows were at Pallant House and Goldmark Gallery. John Piper lived in a derelict farmhouse at Fawley Bottom, Oxfordshire with his second wife Myfanwy Evans. In later life he suffered from dementia and died at his home in 1992.

Ernest, Brown & Phillips, The Leicester Galleries, Leicester Square, London * Biography Edmund Dulac was born in Toulouse where he first studied law and then took up Art. He went to the Academie Julian for a brief period, leaving for London in 1905 , becoming a naturalised British subject in 1912. He became a brilliant and versatile illustrator, portrait painter and set designer. In 1905 he was commissioned to illustrate Jane Eyre by the publishers J.M. Dent.
