In seinem Panorama zeigt er nicht nur die militärische Vor- und Nachhut auf der Marschroute durch Indien, sondern auch viele Szenen aus dem Leben der Bevölkerung, die mit in Stein gebrachten Bildunterschriften versehen wurden: "Clashi or Tent Pitcher, Massalchee, Palkee, Band, Orderly, Brahmins Praying in a Tank, Native Doctor, Hackery with Sick, Breakfast Kit, Halfway Coffee Club" und vieles mehr, also Ansichten vom Aufschlagen der Zelte bis zu den verschiedenen Teilnehmern des Marsches, darunter der Grasschneider, die Träger der Vorratskammern, die Kavallerie mit dem Gepäck, der Kaffeeklub auf halber Strecke ("Halfway Coffee Club"), die irreguläre Kavallerie mit den Depeschen, die Kamel-Karawane mit dem störrischen "Bagage Camel of The Russud Guard" mit dem Kameltreiber, der das arme Tier schlägt, dem "Private Tent Pitcher & Master's monkey" mit einem auf dem Kamel turnende Affen, ein Fakir, der wilde Tänze auf einer Matte mit Rauchgefäßen aufführt, ein Kranker in einer Lazarett-Sänfte, der "Moonshi in a Bylee", ein Buch lesend, gefolgt von einem Gefangenentransport "Guard escorting prisoners" und vieles, vieles mehr. Ausführliche Beschreibung findet sich in einer Aufnahme der weltweit nur wenigen in öffentlichen Bibliotheken bewahrten Exemplare in der British Library: "From the beginning of the column to the end: a khidmutgar (or table servant) and a cooly bearing a cooking set, a mounted jemadar in command of a foraging party, three camels laden with the officer's baggage, a private tent pitcher pulling on the chain of a pet monkey, a mehtur (or groom) leading two dogs, a bheestie (or water-carrier) with his water-skins on his back, a dhobie (or washerman) leading an ox on which his wife rides, a chokedar (or guard) with a spear over his shoulder, a naik (or corporal) of the Bazar Guard, two dundias (or baggage carriers) bearing the Bazar Flag, directed by an officer and annoyed by a pariah dog, a bunneah (or chandler) with donkeys loaded with regimental supplies, an old Indian gentleman and his servant, a dundia with a book under his arm, a pandit with baggage on his back, camels and ox-carts laden with baggage, a puckauli (or water-carrier) and his ox laden with two enormous water skins, a bhangi burdar (or baggae carrier) with two crates on a shoulder yoke, a berri wallah (or shepherd) with the regimental cattle, sheep and goats, an elephant laden with the mess tent, a boburchi (or cook) and the mess khidmutgar with four camels laden with food and mess stores, a naked dancing fakir with long fingernails, the quarter-master, mounted on a lively horse, a saes (or groom) with a fly-whisk, four bearers carrying a dooly (or litter) with an invalid inside, the mess khansaman (or butler) mounted on a mule, a caparisoned horse, irregular Scindian troops, one smoking a pipe, a grass cutter with his load on his back, a moonshi (or linguistic scholar) riding in an ornate bylee (or ox-cart), chained prisoners under guard, two Scindian irregulars, a massalchee (or kitchen servant) with his shoulder yoke, four bearers resting by a palkee (or palanquin) with a reading occupant, an officer in command of the advance guard, standing by his horse and directing his troops crossing the river, a native NCO beating a horse, a bearer with a chair on his head, a mounted duffadar (or irregular officer) bearing despatches, two bearers with camp furniture, a sowari (or mounted orderly) and an officer on a camel, bearers with the breakfast kit and two goats, the halfway coffee club taking place under a tree beyond, two camels laden with baggage and a woman riding in a bylee, two dak runners (or messengers), mounted European officers in undress uniform, a native guide with two soldiers, the band with various musical instruments, a lady in a riding habit and veil with a European officer companion, the commanding officer of the regiment on foot with his orderly and his horse behind, the main body of the infantry overseen by native officers, two brahmins praying in a pool and a woman bearing water, a mounted native doctor with three camels laden with his hospital equipment, an ox-cart with invalids, camels laden with the powder magazine, workers striking tents beyond, a European officer addressing his men, a clashi (or tent pitcher) bearing flags, two thundi wallas (or colour sergeants) with the colours and leading a baggage camel, the mounted sergeant major, camp followers with a baby in a sling, men beating a stubborn camel with the baggage of the Russud Guard" (British Museum Catalogue). - Die Tafel mit dem Titel ist fest auf den vorderen Innendeckel montiert, die erste Tafel auf den hinteren Innendeckel, von da aus lässt sich das Leporello aufschlagen zu einem über sieben (!)

A MATCHED PAIR OF CHARLES II KINGWOOD OYSTER VENEERED WALL MIRRORS IN THE MANNER OF THOMAS PISTOR, CIRCA 1685 Of slightly varying proportions, one 130cm high, 100cm wide, the other 127.5cm high, 98cm wide Provenance: Formerly at Chirk Castle Christie's, Chirk Castle, 21st June 2004, Lot 130 Literature: Illustrated in situ in the Long Gallery in The Hon. Mrs Mary Wombwell's watercolour of 1861 and in a late 19th Century photograph published in the National Trust Guide Book, 1983, p.25. C. Hussey 'Chirk Castle', Country Life, 5 October 1951, fig.8. (illustrated in situ in the Corridor). Catalogue note: These Charles II pier-glasses, with bevelled Vauxhall plate, have bolection- moulded Kingwood frames superbly parquetried in a wave scrolled figuring and central mosaic- parquertried medallion of shell scalloped 'oyster' veneer. These mirrors, of exceptional scale for their date, were almost certainly commissioned for the Long Gallery at Chirk. Built by Sir Thomas Myddleton ( d.1684), 2nd Brat, the Long Gallery was begun in 1670 and was substantially complete in 1678, when the sum of £100 15s 0d was paid to ' Jonathon Hooke, the Joyner, in full for all the ards at Vs per Yard'. On the same day, Thomas Dugdale was £30 'for carveing all the Carved worke at the Longe Gallery'. Both of the latter had worked at Weston Park, the ancestral home Charlotte Bridgeman, whom he married in 1677, possibly to designs by Captain William Winde. Conceived as the great room of entertainment and exercise, the Long Gallery to a large extent retained its sumptuous Baroque appearance and furnishings in 1795- although when Lady Sykes visited in 1796 she found furnishings ' so crowded together they are seen to great disadvantage'. Thus the great series of portraits in their original Sunderland frames hung above a parade of lavish cabinets,including the pietra Dura cabinets on George I gilt-gesso stands acquired on the Grand Tour by Roberth Myddleton (d.1733), as well as the Charles II silver-mounted Royal Presentation cabinet described as having 'Silver 'd Ornaments' (both of which remain at Chirk). Taking centre stage was the harpsicord by Burkhat Sindi, like that acquired by George III, dated 1742 but actually moved to Chirk in 1766 (still at Chirk), and 'Billyard Table', the first of which was installed in 1686. This rare pair of mirrors are almost certainly the '2 Pier Glasses 10.0.0' recorded in the 1795 Inventory. Although the description is all but brief, a watercolour by the Hon. Mrs Mary Wombwell of the Long Gallery, dated Sept. 20th 1861 (from an album still owned by the Myddleton family), as well as the undated later 19th century photograph of the Gallery- both show one of these mirrors above the fireplace at the South end. Both also clearly reveal how much of the furnishings from the 1795 arrangement survive , in spite of alterations apparently carried out in the 1840s and illustrated in Lady Hester Leeke's watercolour of 1840-7-although the panelling has returned by 1861. A smaller mirror of directly comparable design- still owned by the family - is possibly the 'Chimney Glass 0.18.0' listed in 1795 in that same room- although this much larger pair of mirrors was certainly placed above the fireplaces at each end by both the undated photograph and an Inventory carried out circa 1910 ('pier glass over fire place Rose wood frame North End' and '1 pier glass over fire place rosewood frame South End'). Undoubtedly originally supplied with matching pair of 'pier' or dressing tables, related 'cushion frame' mirrors are discussed by A. Bowett in English Furniture 1660-1714, Woodbridge, 2002, pp. 136-9, including a smaller example at Nunnington Hall. Like the Chirk mirrors, this also has slots cut into the back to house the cresting- although there is no evidence that any cresting was ever fitted. This is possibly the case with the Chirk Mirrors. Condition Report: Overall there are knocks, scratches, marks and cracks consistent with age and use. There are losses, restorations and observations including: the mirrored plates have aged silvering with some losses; there are cracks to the veneers and moulded borders including some movement and lifting; there is some evidence of worm; some cuts and cracks to veneers, with some patching; repairs including some filler; the backs of stained panelled construction; some later veneers; the mitred corner joints with some movement and cracks. Please see the additional photographs as a visual reference of condition. Condition Report Disclaimer
