Duncan Grant (British, 1885-1978)Still Life oil on canvas56.5 x 49.5 cm. (22 1/4 x 19 1/2 in.)Painted circa 1917-18Footnotes:ProvenanceSir John Rothenstein, thence by family descent to the present owner Private Collection, U.K.ExhibitedLondon, Tate, Duncan Grant, A Retrospective Exhibition, 12 May-20 June 1959, cat.no.32 (as Dahlias, circa 1913)In 1916 Duncan Grant moved to Charleston in East Sussex, a rented farmhouse on the Gage estate. He discharged his duties as a conscientious objector by working on a nearby farm. He had little time for painting but was able on his free Sundays to carry out some decorations in the house and paint several modest-sized works, often of domestic objects, and also occasional portraits.The present painting shows an opalescent glass holding three or four white clematis flowers (or possibly dahlias). These star-like blooms occur in other paintings of circa 1917-18, especially in a flowerpiece of 1918 in the Keynes Collection, Kings College, Cambridge. Presumably the clematis were established in the Charleston garden. The glass stands on a stone slab in front of the fire grate in the dining room of the house, against a decorative back board. The work occupies the period between the fluent, often flat compositions of 1915 and the more solidly realised works of circa 1918 onwards in which the third dimension is taken seriously.Sir William Rothenstein was an encouraging admirer of Grant's early work and his son lent this painting to the Tate Gallery's retrospective (titled Dahlias). It may have been a gift to Sir William from the artist. It appears to have been exhibited only once since it was painted and has not been previously reproduced.We are grateful to Richard Shone for compiling this catalogue entry.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

STAR WARS: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK (1980) - Production-made Darth Vader Helmet CastingA Darth Vader helmet casting from the production of Irvin Kershner's Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. This helmet was made using the original moulds in the production's workshop, but was ultimately unused. The helmet comes in two parts - the face mask and the dome - and is predominantly made of fibreglass, with a metal grate over the mouth, clear plastic eyes and a foam lining. It has been finished in black paint, although this is unlikely to have been during production. The mesh and foam are also likely added later. The face mask features elastic straps on the back. The lot has some wear from age - most notably cracked fibreglass around the throat and some of the edges, and chips to the paint work.Estimate: £10,000 - 20,000 M View all lots from STAR WARS: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK (1980)View all lots from STAR WARS - ALL ITEMSBidding for this lot will end on Thursday, November 9th.

Slave Trade/Madagascar. 1717 (Jan. 27) Entire letter from James Hunter, Surgeon on a slave ship returning from Madagascar, written from "St De Lana" to his brother in Leeds, probably carried by an East India Co vessel to London and posted upon arrival with "25/FE" Bishop Mark, charged 4d. The letter includes "We arrived hear from the Cape of Good Hope being obliged by Charter of Party to deliver some of our slaves for ye use of the East India company ...... We left ye Island of Madagascar Decem ye 1st and brought captive from there 386 slaves. We was upon the island above five months before we got fully slaved and in ten weeks after ye date hearof expect to deliver them being our full cargo at Bonis Airs in ye Spanish West Indies ..... I left my good wellwisher and truly no less than experienced surgeon Mr Barcly at Madagascar last August 1716 he was a man in years and being super cargo and our Capts father in law went a grate way up in ye country to accomidate the King of Timmohriffe and settle a factory for trade so expostulated himself in his journey fell into delirium .....". The East India Co sanctioned the taking of slaves from Madagascar from 1716 to 1721; slaves could be bought for 10/- of goods, the EIC requiring nine slaves to be delivered for every £500 of goods exported to Madagascar. In 1716 two licences were granted, to the vessels "Hamilton" and "Mercury". Some soiling and splitting of folds, which have been repaired, but a historic letter with good content on the slave trade, only one earlier letter recorded from St. Helena with postal markings.
