Jean-Baptiste Van Loo’s original painting of Horatio Walpole is in the Norwich Castle Museum, Norfolk.Horace Walpole entered Parliament in 1702, remaining a member for fifty-four years. In 1715, when his brother, Sir Robert, became first Lord of the Treasury, he was made Secretary to the Treasury, and in 1716, having already had some experience of the kind, he went on a diplomatic mission to The Hague. He left office with his brother in 1717, but he was soon in harness again, becoming secretary to the lord-lieutenant of Ireland in 1720 and Secretary to the Treasury a second time in 1721.In 1722 he was again at The Hague, and in 1723 he went to Paris, where in the following year he was appointed envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary. He got on intimate terms with Fleury and seconded his brother in his efforts to maintain friendly relations with France; he represented Great Britain at the congress of Soissons and helped to conclude the treaty of Seville (November 1729). He left Paris in 1730 and in 1734 went to represent his country at The Hague, where he remained until 1740, using all his influence in the cause of European peace. He was in 1739 a founding governor for London's most fashionable charity of the time, the Foundling Hospital.After the fall of Sir Robert Walpole in 1742, Horatio defended his conduct in the House of Commons and also in a pamphlet, 'The Interest of Great Britain steadily pursued'.In 1724 he engaged Thomas Ripley to design him a new house at Wolterton in Norfolk to replace one that had burnt down.

A Russian portrait photograph of Madame Vonlarlarsky, by 'Boissonnas & Eggler of Petersbourg', dressed for one of the Saint Petersburg balls in an exotic costume, signed and inscribed 'En souvenir des charmantes...de Peterhof' 1903-1905,photo 17 x 12cm, 49 x 42cm framed overallThe 1903 Costume Ball is regarded as the most memorable festive event Saint Petersburg ever witnessed during the reign of Tsar Nicholas II. Dedicated to the 290th anniversary of the Romanov dynasty, the celebration took place over two days: a soirée was held on 11 February 1903, and the Costume Ball itself on 13 February. The great masquerade had the Winter Palace as its venue and was attended by most of the nobility of the Russian Empire, robed in resplendent attire in the style of the pre-Petrine era, specially designed by artists A Golovin, I Vsevolozhsky and S Solomko, and tailored by the leading costumiers N Lamanova, I Kaffi, A Ivashchenko and Y Ivanova. The garments gloriously married sumptuousness with elegance; at the time, the ball had been described as not just 'a magnificent spectacle, but a perfect work of art'.Nicholas II, for example, was dressed in 'the ceremonial costume of Tsar Alexei', comprising a kaftan and cloth-of-gold robe, tsar’s cap and staff – now kept in the Kremlin Armoury – while Empress Alexandra Fyodorovna was attired in a costume befitting Tsarina Maria Ilyinichna Miloslavskaya. All the ladies-in-waiting wore sarafans gowns and kokoshnik headdresses, while their male escorts were garbed in the uniforms of 17th-century streltsy soldiers or falconers.
A State Trumpeter banner,c.1860, as used by the State Trumpeters of the Household Cavalry, this particular example, which is one side of the original double-sided banner, is reputed to have been used by a State Trumpeter of either the 1st or the 2nd Life Guards, the embroidered coat of arms flanked by a lion and a unicorn, worked in gold, silver and coloured threads on a silk ground with 'VR' cypher, in a rosewood frame with applied plaque and with an old 'Parker Gallery' label verso,banner 46 x 60cm frame 60 x 74cmTrumpet banners are ‘cast’ every five years, or so, and because they are double-sided, they can be split. Usually, the halves will be shared between the Commanding Officer and the Adjutant; because they are State (rather than regimental) banners, it will not be possible to determine if they were 1st or 2nd Life Guards or Royal Horse Guards.We are grateful to Christopher Joll for his assistance with this catalogue entry.
