§ § Claude Muncaster, RWS, RBA, SMA, ROI (British 1903-1974) A South Pacific Blowsigned 'CLAUDE MUNCASTER' (lower right)oil on canvas74.5 x 49.5cm;together with Martin Muncaster, The Wind in the Oak, Robin Garton, London, 1978, No.17/100 copies, signed by author to half title, and matching looseleaf folio of 12 etchings, the 2 volumes contained within a slipcase; Martin Muncaster,The Wind in the Oak, Robin Garton, London, 1978; Claude Muncaster, Rolling Round the Horn, Rich & Cowan, London, 1935 (4)Footnote: Literature:Martin Muncaster, The Wind in the Oak, London, Robin Garton, cover illustration Exhibited: Liverpool Guildhall, Society of the Marine Artists, 1947 Described by Muncaster’s son, Martin, as “one of [Muncaster’s] finest marine paintings”, the present lot was presumed lost for several decades, after having been exhibited in 1947. Used as the cover illustration for Martin Muncaster’s 1978 biography of his father, in 1979, possibly a result of the publicity surrounding the book, the painting re-emerged. Thought to have been painted in 1931 on a voyage aboard the Olive Bank from Melbourne to England, chronicled by Muncaster in his 1933 publication Rolling Round the Horn, the present lot, with its deftly observed matrix of rigging and dynamic canted angle, is demonstrative of both Muncaster’s lived experience and his comprehensive maritime knowledge. Condition report: The paint layer is stable overall. There are areas of slightly raised paint near the left centre by the figures climbing the ropes. Canvas tension is a little slack. There is damage to the slip of the frame upper right - please see images.
NAPOLEON ATTEMPTS TO CONQUER THE ENGLISH LANGUAGENAPOLEON BONAPARTE.

Napoleon, for all his designs on the country of England, came to the English language itself relatively late in life. His battle with learning English is well documented by the recipient of our letter, Count Emmanuel de Las Cases, in his hugely successful memoir Le Mémorial de Sainte-Hélène (published in 1823 after Napoleon's death), in which he records their conversations and recounts daily life with the exiled Emperor. According to the Mémorial, Napoleon first expressed an interest to learn the language during the two-month voyage from Europe to the island in 1815 aboard the Northumberland. Las Cases, who had honed his English skills during his own exile in London after the Revolution, clearly had a good grasp of the language and gave him his first two lessons on 23-25 August 1815 and once established with his entourage on St. Helena, the tutorials began in earnest the following January.Not only was it a welcome relief from the boredom of life on the Island, Napoleon's determination to learn English was also born out of necessity. Whilst being well provided for materially by his English captors, he had virtually nothing to read in his native language. As time went on Napoleon soon realised the benefits of learning English. Not only could he avail himself of the variety of English books and newspapers available to him, it facilitated negotiations with his captors, and he would now have the added advantage of reading what the English press were saying about him. It also caused him to question the enormous sums he had spent on (possibly inaccurate) translations in the past. These lessons in consequence became a regular and important part of Napoleon's daily routine. The historian Peter Hicks has written extensively about Napoleon's attempts to learn English in his article Napoleon's English lessons (www.napoleon.org), and describes how Las Cases aimed to teach the Emperor to read the English newspapers without assistance in a month if only his pupil would commit to a programme of daily lessons. Firstly he showed him around the content and layout of the newspapers: 'the advertisements and the town gossip and the politics, and teaching him how, with the latter, to judge what was authentic and what was simply an unsubstantiated rumour' and then moved on to translations from French to English and back, making him verb tables and dictionaries and teaching him the rules of syntax and grammar. As one might expect it would seem that, judging from Las Cases' account, Napoleon was not the easiest student, alternating between conscientious and diligent application and visible dislike for the task, frustrated by his bad memory for languages and often threatening to abandon the project entirely. Las Cases describes phenomenal progress at first, rather immodestly putting it down to his own skills as a teacher, writing 'He often asked me if he deserved the cane, suspecting that it had a good effect in schools. He would have got on much faster, he used to say laughingly, if he had had a cane to fear'. For him as teacher 'the Emperor's acquisition of English was a real and significant victory'. Suffering from insomnia, and driven to succeed, Napoleon would amuse himself by secretly writing to Las Cases in English, for him to correct and return. Only three letters of this 'night correspondence' appear to have survived, all written within a few days of each other; one dated 6 March 1816 held in a private collection (the well-known 'anonymous' note suggesting amendments to Las Cases' Atlas historique..., a joke which Las Cases fell for to the great amusement of both parties), another from the following day held in the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris (complaining '...Since sixt week j learn the Englich and j do not any progress..'), and ours from the 9 March. Las Cases describes this last letter thus: '...He sent it to me signed and sealed. I corrected the errors and wrote back to him, also in English, by return of post. He understood me perfectly, which convinced him of his progress and proved that from now on he could, in all sincerity, correspond in his new language...'.It must have been a struggle for him to put our letter together, beginning it as he did at two in the morning and finally finishing it for delivery at four thirty. The result demonstrates a barely comprehensible, idiosyncratic style of English, with random punctuation and somewhat 'wayward spelling' as Hicks politely puts it. The letter is hard to follow, peppered as it is with French verbs, for 'to cause with you', he means 'to converse with you', 'causer' meaning 'converse' in French, and also confusing the word 'bank' for 'bunk' and 'pres' (close) for the English 'press', as in urgent. Fragments of Las Cases' study aids have survived. One page of exercises by Napoleon held in the Fondation Napoléon for example consists of phrases written in French followed by their approximate English translations. Interestingly here, as in our letter, Napoleon insists on writing 'J' – as in the French 'je' instead of 'I' throughout – stubbornly refusing to relinquish the French first person pronoun for the English.Whilst Napoleon achieved a certain command of written English, Las Cases admits that his spoken English left much to be desired, being almost completely incomprehensible. Apparently he refused to acknowledge that the same letters and vowels in French had a completely different pronunciation in English, thus creating an idiosyncratic Napoleonic style of speaking that, once formed, was impossible to correct, thus creating what La Cases describes 'a completely new language'. As Hicks concludes, 'The documents in the Las Cases papers and that in the Bibliothèque Nationale prove that Las Cases' account... of the great man screwing his courage to the sticking point to learn vocabulary like a schoolboy, mispronouncing foreign words, but also finally becoming proficient in the language of his great adversary, is essentially a faithful account of events'....

NAPOLEON AT SCHÖNBRUNNEngraved Imperial Decree with manuscript insertions, signed ('Charles Maurice'), prince de Talleyrand, as 'Vice-Grand-Electeur' and ('Fouche'), duc d'Otrante, as Minister of the Interior, appointing Paul Cadroy, Mayor of Landes, to the Assembly in the canton of Aire, arrondissement of St. Sever, docketed on reverse, on one sheet of vellum, light dust staining on outer portion where folded but otherwise in clean, fresh condition, folio, (410 x 530mm.), Schoënbrunn, 20 June 1809Footnotes:NAPOLEON CONDUCTS IMPERIAL BUSINESS FROM HIS TEMPORARY HEADQUARTERS IN AUSTRIA & APPOINTS A NOTORIOUS REVOLUTIONARY TO THE ASSEMBLY.Napoleon occupied the Hapsburg palace of Schonbrunn in Vienna on two occasions, for a few days in late 1805 after his victory at Austerlitz and again for several months from May 1809, during which time he signed the eponymous treaty with Austria in October of that year. Documents issued from this palace therefore are relatively uncommon. Whilst enjoying the regal opulence of the palace and attending performances at the palace theatre, Napoleon also narrowly missed an assassination attempt at Schonbrunn by one Friedrich Saps, a pastor's son from Erfurt, who tried to stab the Emperor whilst reviewing the troops from the palace steps. Paul Cadroy (1751-1813) was a lawyer before the Revolution but after being elected to represent Landes in the National Convention and then Bouches-du-Rhône and Var, he soon 'earned a notorious reputation as a Reactionary in that region. While he denounced royalists in the Convention, in the Midi he offered them his protection. He organized his Company of Jesus, which terrorized and pursued republicans throughout the Midi, and he played a leading role in organizing many of the prison massacres in the region (especially the massacre at Fort St. Jean). Afterwards, he returned to Paris where he faced several denunciations for his actions in the Midi, particularly after he was elected to serve in the Council of 500. Having earned a detestable reputation in Paris, he became part of the Clichy Club. Sentenced to deportation in September 1796, he escaped abroad and returned to France at the end of 1799. During the Empire, he served as mayor of Saint-Server, where he died on 9 October 1813' (Karen L. Greene, The Rise and Fall of a Revolutionary: The Political Career of Louis-Marie Stanislas Fréron, Representative on Mission and Conventionnel, 1754-1802, 2004, PhD thesis online).For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
