ERIC DE MARE (1910-2002) A collection of 17 black and white photographs of the final journey of HMS Belfast, including Looking out into the Thames from King George V Dock, Entering the River, Bridge and Gun Turrets, Pilot instructing a tug, Ulstermen pipe her home, Guns, Bunting, Leaving King George V Dock at Dawn and Radar, each titled in ink and with photographers stamped mark to the reverse, the largest 4 1/2" x 6" Eric De Mare (1910-2002) Described as one of the greatest British architectural photographers by the Times in 2002 (The Times, Obituary, Tuesday 5 February 2002), Eric de Mare was one of the foremost photographers and architectural authors of his generation. He published his first book Britain Rebuilt in 1942 and in the subsequent years many more books and articles followed, including The Canals of England (1950), Bridges of Britain (1954), London`s Riverside (1958), City of Westminster: Heart of London (1968), Photography and Architecture (1961), Wren`s London (1975), and A Matter of Life or Debt (1983). He also held the post of editor of the Architects Journal from 1943-1946. By 1956 Eric De Mare was commissioned to travel through England to photograph industrial sites and buildings, which resulted in the 1958 publication of The Functional Tradition in Early Industrial Buildings, written by J M Richards and including de Mare`s photographs. However, by the 1960s the focus of his photographic work changed and he tended to concentrate on the sculptural quality of the modern power generation plants. His pioneering achievement was reviving interest in the architecture of post-war industrial Britain overlooked by the majority, and his work was influential to a whole generation of photographers and architects. Norman Foster called his work "a social conscience of visual values - more valid than ever". A monograph of his work was published by Robert Elwall in 2000 in the RIBA Architecture Camera series and The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) in London held an exhibition of his work in 2010 (7 October to 24 November). Provenance: The descendants of Eric De Mare.

SIR WILLIAM `HAMO` THORNYCROFT (1850-1925) Artemis and Her Hound, dated 1909, a bronze cast from a model by Hamo Thornycroft of a scantily-clad huntress carrying a bow and drawing an arrow from her quiver, with greyhound at her side, on a naturalistic base, inscribed `Hamo Thornycroft Sc` to the top of the base, inscribed and dated `Hamo Thornycroft 1909` to the side of the base, initialled `HT` twice, and titled `ARTEMIS` to the front of the base, all on a green marbled rectangular base, the bronze 25" high, 13" wide, 6 3/4" deep. Note: Originally modelled in 1879, when Thornycroft was heavily influenced by the poet and literary critic Edmund Gosse, Artemis was one of the first examples of `The New Sculpture`, seeking to re-examine Classical sculpture for a new age. In 1880 Thornycroft showed a life-sized plaster of Artemis and Her Hound at the Paris Salon. Subsequently The Duke of Westminster commissioned a life size marble statue which was exhibited at the Salon in 1882 before being installed at Eaton Hall in Cheshire. Artemis and Her Hound was well received by the critics, and one noted that `a great advance was proclaimed...by the epoch-making "Artemis"...The attitude and arrangement are altogether admirable, as well as original...from every point of view the group is beautiful`. A half-size bronze version of Artemis was exhibited by Thornycroft at the Royal Academy in 1911 [1799] and another bronze statuette at the Royal Scottish Academy in 1917-18. Literature: S. Beattie, The New Sculpture, New Haven: Yale University Press, 1983, p. 149 E. Manning, Marble & Bronze, The Art & Life of Hamo Thornycroft, London: Trefoil Books Ltd., 1982 M. H.
