(x) The Property of a GentlemanA FINE COLLECTION OF AWARDS TO OFFICERS OF THE CRIMEAN WARCataloguer's NoteThe Crimea Medal certainly divides opinion. Its distinctive oak-leaf clasps and floriated suspender are an acquired taste, viewed by many as overly embellished and 'heavy'. It was ever thus, and I couldn't resist quoting the reaction of Colonel Hodge, 4th Dragoon Guards, on receiving his Crimea Medal in September 1855:'A vulgar looking thing, with clasps like gin labels. How odd it is that we cannot do things like people of taste.'Coming after the austere Neo-classicism of the Military and Naval General Service Medals, the Crimea Medal must have seemed bewilderingly garish to those who received it. In artistic terms, it arrived at the height of the Gothic Revival, when the medieval fantasies of Pugin, Barry and the Pre-Raphaelites infiltrated every art form, from architecture to jewellery. This surely accounts for its radical design, the oak leaves resembling carved wood on a Gothic misericord.The Crimea Medal was radical in another sense. Previous campaign medals had been awarded retrospectively, long after the conclusion of hostilities. The Crimea Medal was the first to be issued in the theatre of operations, during the campaign itself. This gave it added poignancy, and despite all the problems it has caused medal collectors ever since (see 'By Order of Her Majesty' - The Crimea Medal, OMRS, 2017), it is those period photographs of fearsome-looking Guardsmen and Highlanders, proudly wearing their Crimea Medals, which stir our imagination. We think of the legendary actions for which those men were decorated: the storming of the Great Redoubt at the Alma, the Thin Red Line at Balaklava, the Sandbag Battery at Inkermann, the capture of the Quarries before Sebastopol. The Crimea Medal's proximity to those actions is its enduring appeal.The men whose medals form this outstanding collection were prominent in all of those engagements, and in many cases they shaped the course of events. Would the Great Redoubt have been taken if Major Champion (Lot 370) had not brought up the 95th Foot in support? Would Scarlett and the Heavy Brigade have been surrounded if Major Burton (Lot 372) had not intervened? Might the British have suffered fewer casualties at Inkermann if Major Armstrong (Lot 375) had not directed the Guards Brigade towards the Sandbag Battery? The enormous influence these men exerted is matched only by their supreme personal courage, often shown in adversity and against overwhelming odds.In describing these remarkable men, I feel I have barely scratched the surface; whoever becomes the custodian of these medals can look forward to years of new discoveries.Jack West-SherringSpink, February 2019The intriguing 'Alma casualty's' group of three awarded to Lieutenant-Colonel Sir John Dugdale Astley, 3rd Baronet of Everleigh, Scots Fusilier Guards; while leading his Company up the Alma's southern bank under galling enemy fire, his men fell victim to a spirited Russian counter-attack on the Great Redoubt.As the panic-stricken 23rd Foot crashed into his Company, Astley's steady presence averted disaster; just as he was rallying his men, a Russian musket ball passed clean through his neck, missing his carotid artery by a hair.Popular among soldiers and sportsmen alike, Astley's colourful personality earned him the nickname 'The Mate'. His memoirs, Fifty Years of My Life (1894), contain a panoply of Victorian sporting pursuits. A close friend of Gerald Goodlake V.C., he remained part of the Regimental family until his dying day.Crimea 1854-56, 2 clasps, Alma, Sebastopol (Major Astley, S. F. Gds.

G., London: Printed for the Author for Private Circulation by Roger Funnyman, Strand [1841], scarce first edition, with another publisher/bookseller label pasted over the top: 'Edwards' Parisian Repository, 183, Fleet Street (Three doors west from Fetter Lane)'. Wood-engraved pictorial title page, frontispiece depicting semi-naked ladies, plus a further 17 plates and smaller vignettes within the text. 'It is our intention...to present a list of the most beautiful women in London - their names and residences - whether kept in private, or trading on "their own bottoms"'. The book describes the clubs, pubs and bars in which prostitutes are to be found ('The Spotted Horse - Those who like to look upon real flesh and blood women will be here delighted...we hate a living skeleton and would walk a mile to see a pretty woman'), as well as warnings ('Kelsey's - A notorious house for the informers...it is situated in Bow Street). The book describes individual prostitutes: 'Miss Allen...a perfect English beauty...she is in her nineteenth year; of symmetrical form...no one will regret passing an hour in her company, and drinking deep at that "mystic fountain" of human pleasure'; 'Mrs Buchan...she is about twenty-nine years of age; remarkably well formed, and possessing a pair of black eyes, bright enough to lead an anchorite to the path of error'; 'Mrs Smith...a very agreeable woman...in addition to pouting lips, which would tempt an anchorite, has a knack of coaxing a customer into a purchase which is novel and delightful. We recommend a trial'; 'Eliza Birch...resides in Buckingham Street, Fitzroy Square. Our heroine is a pretty, a very pretty woman, and, what is more, is possessed of considerable accomplishments, having received an excellent education'; 'Rose Paris...her bust is full and voluptuous, and is really a cradle for all the loves to dwell'; 'Miss Allison...her mouth is cast in the very mould of perfection, while her lips' rosy tinge would lure a hermit to wish to brush their dew'; 'Mrs Brougham...she is now verging fast into the "sear and yellow leaf" of time...she numbers amongst her admirers, a goodly train of sighing swains, who appear to enjoy the possession of a dame "fair, fat, and fifty", amongst whom we might, if we wished, name a certain amorous member of the highest class of the nobility'. The book closes with a useful guide to contemporary London criminal slang ('Explanation of the Flash Words Now in Use in the Metropolis'), for example: 'Academy - A Brothel'; 'Angels - Young Unmarried Women'; 'Anointed - Ripe for Mischief'; 'Barking Irons - Pistols'; 'Beaks' Men - Police Officers'; 'Betty - Picklock Key'; 'Bit of Muslin - A Sweetheart'; 'Blow the Gab - To Inform Against a Person'; 'Bolt the Moon - Cheating the Landlord'; 'Bunch of Fives - Closed Fists'; 'Cag Mag - Bad Meat'; 'Canary Bird - Inmate of a Prison'; 'Dimper Mot - An Enchanting Girl'; 'Drawing a Wiper - Stealing a Handkerchief'; 'Dub the Jigger - Fasten the Door'; 'Giving Turnips - Cutting an Acquaintance'; 'Glue - A Fashionable Disease'; 'Hempen Widow - The Wife of a Man Hanged'; 'Lightning - English Gin'; 'Low Water Mark - Little or No Money'; 'Lumber a Ticker - To Pawn a Watch'; 'Moisten Your Chaffer - To Drink'; 'Monkey Up - Violent Passion'; 'On the Mallet - Goods on Tick'; 'Wet the Other Eye - Another Glass'.
