Left foot of a statuette of Artemis. Smyrna, 3rd century BC.Terracotta.Provenance: Smyrna, 1895-1905. Collection Paul Gaudin (Paris 1858-1921 Versailles), archaeologist, engineer and great patron of the Louvre Museum; Acquired between 1894 and 1905 and by family descent. Public auction, France, 2022.Measurements: 5.7 cm. high with stand.Left foot of a statuette of Artemis, goddess of hunting, wearing a sandal. This piece is part of an archaeological collection of 670 fragments, considered to be the second most important after that of the Louvre (1094 fragments) and ahead of those of the Archaeological Museum of Istanbul (135) and the British Museum (108). According to Simone Besques (1972, p.155) "There are hardly any public or private collections that do not contain Smyrna figurines, most of which are unfortunately fragmentary. Nevertheless, they testify to the fact that from the 3rd century BC to the 2nd century AD, there was the most important Hellenistic and Greco-Roman workshop there, both in terms of the quality and originality of its production, and the fact that these figures remained intact until the Roman period".Smyrna was one of the original terracotta centres of Asia Minor. The city was refounded by Lysimachus around 288 BC, a short distance from its former location. Continued habitation until more recent times made systematic excavations impossible. Most of the Smyrna figurines on display in major museums in Europe and the United States are mostly fragments of heads. Smyrna figurines are easily recognised by the colour of their clay, which varies from brown to red. The clay is fine and homogeneous, and contains traces of gold and silver. Some samples still retain their colours. They are carefully modelled.In terms of subject matter, many popular types from the great terracotta art of the Classical or Hellenistic period prevail, such as those of Herakles, deities and athletes. Another favourite subject was clothed female figures of the "Tanagrian" type.There are also so-called "grotesque figures" with exaggerated anatomical deformities. They probably represented real people suffering from deforming diseases.The terracotta style of Smyrna shows great similarities with that of Myrina. It is likely that the same terracotta artists worked in both cities. It is more likely that there was a relevant relationship in Pergamon and Cyme. On the other hand, certain thematic types of the Smyrna workshop - the black figures and the grotesques - allude to the terracotta art of Alexandria, which ensures a close commercial and artistic relationship with that city. Figurines from Smyrna were highly prized in the ancient world. They were exported to Myrina, Priene, Pergamon, Troy, Tarsus, Delos, Athens, Cyprus and Black Sea cities.

Built for Lord Waterford Dallas, p. 191Henry de la Poer Beresford, 3rd Marquis of Waterford (1811-1859), styled Lord Henry Beresford before 1824 and Earl of Tyrone between 1824 and 1826, was an Irish peer. He is responsible for the expression to 'paint the town red'. In the early hours of 6 April 1837, the Marquess of Waterford and his fox-hunting friends arrived at the Thorpe End tollgate at Melton Mowbray. The party had been drinking heavily at Broxton races and the tollkeeper requested payment before opening the gate for them. Unfortunately for him, repairs were underway including pots of red paint lying within reach. The Marquess and his cronies attacked the tollkeeper, painting him and a constable red. They went on to nail up the tollhouse and painted that red too before rampaging through the town, vandalising the Post Office and the Leicestershire Banking Company before attempting to overturn a caravan in which a man was asleep. The following day there was uproar and once the Marquess of Waterford finally sobered up he paid for all the damage to people and property. The group were brought to trial before the Derby Assize Court in July 1838 where they were found not guilty of riot, but were fined £100 each for common assault, a considerable sum at that time. Waterford was frequently in the news in the late 1830s for drunken brawling, brutal jokes and vandalism, and was said to do anything for a bet; his irregular behaviour and his contempt for women earned him the moniker 'the Mad Marquess'.In 1842, Lord Waterford married Louisa Stuart, daughter of the 1st Baron Stuart de Rothesay, and settled in Curraghmore House, Ireland, where he reportedly led an exemplary life until he died in a horse riding accident in 1859For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

EAST INDIES LOG BOOK'A Journal of a Voyage to the East Indias and From the East Indias', illustrated manuscript log of the Dolphin and the Medways Prize, written by Lieutenant Wildy French and signed by him several times throughout, comprising daily entries beginning 29 April 1744, describing the voyage via Madagascar, Sumatra, Malacca, Ceylon, the Coromandel coast, Madras, Table Bay, St Helena, returning to Deptford in August 1749, noting weather, position, geographical features and notable events, with remarks on various lands and inhabitants ('...You must be on your guard in the Night for they will come in a Friendly manner to Trade with you, and at the same time snach your Hatt and Wigg...'), encounters with other ships ('...a French ship under Moors Coulours... on board 72 chests of Dollars, two of gold... some cochinell... great quantity of cowries...'), directions for sailing through the Straits of Malacca to Batavia, hunting a tiger in Ceylon ('...I found the print of one of his feet... extream Breadth... upon which I altered my Resolution...'), collision with the Medway ('...We are now in a very bad situation...'), and much else, entries written in ink in a clear, decorative hand, interspersed with some thirty charming pen and wash illustrations including maps and profiles (double-page map of Sumatra, another bearing note 'In surveying this part of the Bay the Indians shot an Arow so I do not proceed any farther...', 'Cape Bona Esperance 1749', 'A Prospect of the Island of St Hellena' etc.), ships ('His Maj. Ship Medways Prize... 1745'), nature (flying fish, a dolphin, 'a sea pidgon', 'A makcoca.

In the first few pages of our log he informs us that he passed his lieutenants exam in April 1744 and soon after set sail on the Dolphin, an East Indiaman that plied the Coromandel Coast to Madras under Captain Charles Pigot from 1744-5. French's death is noted in The Gentleman's Magazine: Obituary of considerable persons for 1791, and he is described there not only as the former commander of the Zebecque packet but also the oldest lieutenant in the Royal Navy. French's log notes that in February 1744 he was transferred to a captured prize ship, the Medways Prize then in Batavia Bay: '...the Favorite, a French ship taken by his Majestys ship Medway and Dolphin at Achin. And brought it in here. Is found to be a ship fit for His Majestys Service... the Command given to first Lieut. Thos Griffin and... called the Medways Prize... The Dolphin being made a Store and Hospital ship...'. French served on the Medways Prize until it was paid off at Deptford Dockyard in August 1749 and was sold the following year. It is perhaps fortunate that he changed ships - the Dolphin disappeared on the homeward leg of her second voyage to Madras in 1750, exact date and place unknown.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

He was a keen photographer, and the album contains unusual early photographic depictions of the island, of landscapes and architecture (such as 'The Citadel with Bridge across the Ditch/ Corfu' and 'A View from the College of the Citadel') and a number of portraits. Also included in the album are fine prints of English country house scenes and a photograph of his quarters at Aldershot. An amusing pen and ink sketch by his brother Henry depicts the pioneering photographer Catherine Verschoyle (1803-1871), only the fourth woman to join the Photographic Society (later the Royal Photographic Society) in 1853, its inaugural year, and renowned for her botanical and tree studies. She is shown under the cloth of her camera, skirts billowing behind, taking his portrait outside her house in Eaton Square in July 1855. She later used her considerable photographic skills to raise money for widows and orphans of the Crimean War. There is evidence in the album of female members of the family assisting him in his work – one caption for example notes that a portrait of Julia (possibly Julia Ponsonby) was taken by Arthur but printed by Barbara (possibly his sister Selina Barbara Ponsonby). Also of note in the album is the programme for the first distribution of the Victoria Cross in 1857 and much royal memorabilia.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
