Bloomsbury Auctions (London)

Lot 88

Paul Musurus Bey (c.1840-c.1927). An album of sketches and studies. Over 250 drawings, most after old masters or contemporary artists, a few original compositions, with a signed carte de visite photograph of the artist mounted as frontispiece. Almost all in pen and ink, many with monochrome wash, a few others in pencil, watercolour and gouache. All mounted on album leaves, with several Als between a previous owner and several museums in the 1930s, including A.M Hind at the British Museum, these loosely inserted, cloth-backed marbled boards, folio, mid 19th century. Paul (Paulaki) Musurus Bey was the son of Constantine (Kostaki) Musurus Pasha, long-serving Turkish ambassador to the court of St James, from 1851 to 1885. Paul Musurus moved to London with his father as a youth and, apart from occasional light, and very junior, diplomatic duties, seems to have lived the life of a dilettante artist and poet. But the undoubted quality and significance of the drawings, reflecting as they do much of the pervading influences of the day in French and British art, are testified to by the enthusiastic reception of several drawings donated in the 1930s to the Department of Prints an Drawings at the British Museum, the Ashmolean Museum and the Birmingham City Museum and Art Gallery.

May 1776." John Exshaw senior a bookseller in Dublin, married Faith Walker in 1748, they had at least two sons, Thomas, the elder son, and John, the second son who was born in 1751. Faith Exshaw died in 1764 and John senior married again in 1769, a Miss Swiney of Caple Street, but she died the following August. John was married for the third time in 1772, to Mrs Dorcas Wilkinson, a widow. John senior died on 9 March 1776 and John the younger who had been apprenticed to his father took over the thriving family business. John married in May 1776: "John Exshaw, an eminent bookseller to Miss Wilkinson, a most amiable young lady with a considerable fortune". Angel Wilkinson, was the daughter of his father`s third wife, Dorcas. In October 1787 Angel Wilkinson, died aged 32 years. John`s career was long and distinguished, he remained in business in Dame Street and later in Grafton Street until 1822. He died on 6 January 1827, at his seat in Roebuck, aged 76 years, and is buried at St John`s Cemetery, Clondalkin, with his first wife Angel and her two daughters. The Gentleman`s Magazine printed an obituary in which his career was outlined and praise lavished on him for his command of the Stephen`s Green yeomanry "during the disturbances of 1797 and 1798". The Exshaw family bookselling business, which began in 1732 ended with John`s retirement about 1822..
