George Leslie Hunter (British, 1877-1931)Still life with Chinese vase, fruit and silver salver signed 'Leslie Hunter' (upper left)oil on board61.5 x 50.8 cm. (24 3/16 x 20 in.)Footnotes:ProvenanceEx collection of J Gibson JarvieSale; Christie's, Glasgow, 8 December 1988, Lot 308'It is this unerring sense of colour that made Hunter the artist he became... never a jarring pattern is found, or an inharmonious tone in his colour schemes - rich and glowing as they are without a hint of garishness.' (T. J. Honeyman, Introducing Leslie Hunter, 1937, p. 211) Hunter usually composed his still lifes around a central motif of fruit, flowers, and ceramics. He would return to his Glasgow studio with ripe fruit or a selection of blooms and used interestingly shaped ceramics to contain them and construct a pleasing and sophisticated still life from which to work. For the present picture he chose a Chinese jar to draw the eye into the composition, and a pink rose delicately lying to the side. The silver tray and melon suggest an influence from seventeenth century Dutch still life painting, which Hunter is known to have admired and been influenced by at an earlier period in his career.The sale of this picture to Hunter's cousin, the wealthy banker and barrister John Gibson-Jarvie (1883-1964), would have brought Hunter much needed money at a time when his finances were particularly stretched and he was making concerted efforts to paint impressive pictures for sale. The impetus of the later 1920s gave his pictures a dramatic energy and confidence which he had never reached in his work before.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

*Noel Gibson (1928-2005)Stepney - St Georges in the Eastsigned 'Noel Gibson' l.r., oil on board92 x 122cmNoel Gibson had an enthusiasm for capturing the buildings of the East End of London. Born in Glasgow in 1928, he trained as an opera singer and then became the House Manager at the London Opera Centre on Commercial Road in Stepney.

He recreated what he saw in these walks in a series of paintings of Stepney. The urban landscape was undergoing rapid change and he would sometimes go back to an area to check on a colour or a detail and find the whole street had gone.*Artist's Resale Right may apply to this lot.Condition report: Thick impasto, some areas in the sky where paint is thin and canvas shows through, overall appears to be in good condition.

1952 JENSEN INTERCEPTOR CABRIOLETRegistration Number: USK 657Chassis Number: INT 18344YRecorded Mileage: c. 23,900 milesExceptionally rare model with 8 known survivorsVery original example with low recorded mileageThe first generation of the 'Interceptor' was launched in 1949 at the Earl's Court Motor Show in London, with the saloon version entering production two years later. According to The Autocar, the new Interceptor, 'possesses that big-engined, high-gear charm of the past, but offers it in a modern guise.'As with other specialist low volume luxury cars of the early post-war years, the new Jensen adopted a hand-built aluminium alloy body formed over a steel chassis with an ash frame. Longtime marque stylist Eric Neale penned the model, in closed coupe, sedanca and full cabriolet body styles. The chassis was an extended Austin A70 unit, the six-cylinder straight six engine and drivetrain derived from the Austin A125 Sheerline limousine. Suspension consisted of an independent coil-sprung front end with a live rear axle, while Girling hydraulic brakes were found at each corner.The aluminium-bodied Interceptor joined the select band of genuine four-seaters capable of 100mph, keeping up with the likes of the Bentley R Type, Bristol 401 and Jaguar MK VII. The ride was comfortable and smooth, with more refinement up to higher speeds compared to its competitors, but just as much luxury. Bearing in mind the nearest Bristol and Bentleys were at least if not more than three times the Interceptor's price tag, the Jensen offered a top class driving experience whilst delivering exceptional value. Production continued through 1957. Jensen of course later reusing the name for a second-generation Interceptor which debuted in 1966. Interest in these early Jensen models has picked up in recent years, as enthusiasts have woken up to the hand-built qualities of these exceptionally rare early Grand Tourers.One of just 32 Interceptor cabriolets produced (and just 8 surviving), chassis 18344 is a rare and well travelled survivor. This super original Interceptor was was sold on 10th September 1952 via the specialist agent Brooklands Motors on London's Bond Street, and assigned with the registration mark LUF 832. Finished in grey, it was purchased by a Mr. Dunmore of Norwich who kept the Jensen in his possession for a further 10 years. The next owner, a Mr. Gibson of Great Yarmouth, kept the car for a further 6 years, during which time changing the body colour to Cream. Records of road tax end in 1969 so we assumed the Jensen was exported outside of the UK at this point.The history picks up around 1990 when a Mr. Mitchell from Sheffield, having owned a similar car earlier in his life, decided to relive his youth and to find another early Interceptor. The only suitable car was to be found on the other side of the world in Australia. So naturally Mr. Mitchell booked a flight and took off to Australia, buying this very car on the spot.The Jensen was shipping back to the UK and into Mr. Mitchell's ownership until the early 2000s, at which the current vendor acquired the car. The Jensen is exceptionally original, and with the exception of a colour change back to metallic Grey, appears not to have been restored. The convertible hood is, we believe, the original, as is the red leather interior which is in excellent condition with few signs of wear. The odometer reads just over 23,000 miles, and whilst we cannot warrant this figure, it is in our view a believable reading. The aluminium coachwork is in very good order and the older repaint holds up very well. The Jensen starts and runs nicely.Offered with original Buff log book and later 1990s V5, this is a very rare survivor in very original and unmolested condition. An interesting and stylish alternative to more obvious choices from the 1950s.

Fawcett (Dame Millicent, leader of the constitutional women's suffrage movement and author, 1847-1929) Autograph Letter signed to Miss Gibson, 4pp., 8vo, 2 Gower Street, [London], 21st July 1912, on the plight of the Women's Suffrage Movement before the First World War, "We suffragists have had a time of great trial just lately seeing our good cause sullied & driven back by the criminal folly of a few fanatics. It is no good reasoning with them. They are not open to reason. I know that although you are not exactly one of us, you will sympathize with us", good naturedly accusing her making a promise and forgetting it, and sending her "a little collection" including photographs, a postcard of the portrait of Fawcett with her husband painted by Ford Madox Brown etc., folds, some foxing.⁂ Fawcett's view of the suffragette movement.
