FRANCIS TOWNE (1739-1816) FROM POWDERHAM PARK, 1780 Inscribed verso 89 From Powderham Park, pen and black ink with grey wash and pencil 23.5 x 33.5cm. * Powderham Castle, on the west bank of the river Exe, dates back to c.1400 and was built to the instructions of Sir Philip Courtenay (1355-1406). Considerable extensions were added in the 18th- and 19th centuries, some in the newly fashionable neo-Gothic style under the supervision of Charles Fowler. Powderham was besieged during the Wars of the Roses (1455) and again during the Civil War (1646) when it was used as a Royalist garrison and was attacked by Parliamentarians. Severe structural damage resulted in further renovations. The Castle is the home of the Earls of Devon. Towne's long associations with Devon have led biographers to believe that he was Devonian by birth but records show that he was born in Isleworth, the son of a grain merchant. William, 2nd Viscount Courtenay (1742-1788) was Towne's principal patron in the 1770's and, having abandoned London in search of rich provincial patronage in a less competitive milieu, Towne could not have wished for a more impassioned supporter. Lord Courtenay was a distinguished figure in Devon society and he admired the more informal style of Towne's works that embraced the new idea of `retirement`. These more localised subjects were distinct from the ambitious Italianate compositions of Richard Wilson: in this drawing, the empty grassland in the foreground and the soft low Devon slopes beyond the Exe are wholly at odds with Wilson's themes of soaring grandeur and suggest a concern for the `place` above the Romanticised compositions that had given Wilson such eminence. In addition, Towne's meticulously neat and clean penwork complements this painstaking concern for topographical accuracy. Provenance: London, Spink, £65 (label on backboard) ++ Foxing; light staining

Potter (Beatrix) The Tale of Two Bad Mice, first edition, first or second printing, colour frontispiece, plain title vignette and 26 colour plates, pictorial endpapers, occasional very light marking, ink gift inscription dated 1905 to half-title, original grey boards with mounted colour illustration, spine slightly faded and chipped at foot, small chip to head of spine, minor bumping to corners, still overall a very good and unusually sharp copy, [Linder p.424; Quinby 7], 16mo, 1904. ⁂ One of the most difficult titles in the series to find in first edition and good condition. The Tale of Two Bad Mice was jointly inspired by a pet mouse of Potter's and by Norman Warne's construction of a dollhouse for his niece. Potter adopted the mouse after it was caught in a trap and named in Hunca Munca. Hunca Munca turned out to be quite personable and proved a good drawing model for Potter, her cleanly habits even provided an inspiration for her fictional counterpart. Sadly Hunca Munca died after falling from a chandelier after playing with Potter.

Portsmouth to Madras.- Baldwin (John Timins, Captain, Madras Artillery, died at Sholopore, India, married Barbara Moore Campbell, third daughter of Archibald Campbell, of Melfort, Argyleshire, d. 1891, 1805-46) Journal kept by Captain J.T. Baldwin Madras Artillery during a vouage to India in the year 1835 [&] Original verses written on visiting home after a few years absence; Original verses on visiting Newgate after seven years Transportation; Extracts from the Lady Flora Gazette of Saturday 26th September 1835 etc., autograph manuscript, together 186pp., 6pp. Contents and Index, small pen and ink sketch of a prisoner in Newgate Gaol, full-page pencil drawing of a building in India (small tears and tipped-in with tape), both by J.T. Baldwin, typescript page of Contents inserted first p. soiled, 20th century ink inscription on front free endpaper, later endpapers, 20th century cloth, 4to, 1835-36. ⁂ A personable and lively diary of a long sea voyage from Portsmouth to Madras. Baldwin, a Scot travelled on the Lady Flora, captained by Robert Ford from Portsmouth in 1835. Amongst the other passengers was Charles Edward Faber (1807?-68), Madras Engineers. In the diary Faber lends Baldwin a poem, The Knights of St John (Oxford prize poem) by his brother, Frederick William Faber (1814-63), Church of England clergyman and Roman Catholic priest. Faber recounts the exploits of a friend, Sir John Campbell, "they reached Bombay in safety: and pitched their tents on the Esplanade, where they had arranged matters to their satisfaction; when they received notice from a Peon to quit; the ground being wanted for some particular occasion by Mr. Elphinstone [Mountstuart Elphinstone (1779-1859), administrator in India], the Governor. What did Campbell do but pen a note to the Govr. forthwith... and concluded by requesting permission to remain where they were... Mr. Elphinstone... expressing regret that they should have been molested; requested they would condescend to take up their quarters at Government House... begged they would occupy any part of the Esplanade they pleased." Faber went on to build a road up Singapore's second highest hill, renamed Mount Faber in his honour in 1845. Pastimes included playing music with the other passengers (Baldwin played the flute), creating a newspaper (which causes arguments), crosses the equator, topsail breaks etc. Includes an account of meeting a ship from New South Wales. "Monday 14th. Another week has passed finding us still in nearly the same place and the little wind we had yesterday has disappeared. About 11 0c we descried a sail... bearing down towards us... she proved to be the Mary from New South Wales to Calcutta... . Dickinson had arrived at Sydney and had been sent up to the penal settlement. It appears they now allow educated convicts to remain at Head Quarters. As long as he conducts himself properly, he will not be obliged to labour, altho' the Governor could oblige him to do so for three years if he chose."

Hayter (Sir George, 1792-1871) Portrait of an Arabian stallion with decorative halter, pen and brown ink, signed with monogram and dated '1830' lower right, on cream wove paper, without watermark, later inscribed 'G. Hayter' in pencil lower right, 235 x 175 mm. (9 1/4 x 6 7/8 in), minor surface dirt, inset into paper mount Provenance: Sale. Sotheby's auction (label on reverse); Sir John Clement Witt [L.2228b]; Thence by descent ⁂ The influence on the present drawing of Van Dyck, specifically his painting 'Charles I (1600-1649) with M. de St Antoine' (Royal Collection Trust, no. RCIN 405322), is without doubt, yet the flourishes of dramatic line, and the ability to reinterpret the dynamic movement of Van Dyck's horse into pen and ink, is the achievement of Sir George Hayter alone.

Richmond (William Blake, 1842-1921) The Arcadian Shepherd, 1858, pen and brown ink, on wove paper without watermark, signed with monogram on tree trunk and dated '1858', 145 x 185 mm. (5 3/4 x 7 1/4 in), several inscribed attributions and inscriptions verso, light spotting and surface dirt, unframed Provenance: The artist's family and thence by descent; With Abbot & Holder, London (circa 1990) Literature: cf. Mrs A. M. W. Stirling, The Richmond Papers, London, 1926, pp. 99-100 Simon Reynolds, Sir William Blake Richmond: an artist's life, 1842-1921, 1995, p. 14, see note 15, p. 364 ⁂ The young William Blake Richmond executed the present drawing aged only 15, and would have done so while enrolled in the Royal Academy Schools, London, where he studied for three years. As a drawing from 1858 the nature of the work at first appears as an anachronism, but in reality the drawing serves to illustrate the "poetic" spell that the artist was under after having grown up with the early work of his father, and his father's contemporaries. For a loosely associated work by George Richmond, albeit in a reproductive medium, see the line engraving 'The Shepherd' (see Tate, ref.: N04064); similarly see the wood-engravings by Edward Calvert, the artist arguably closest to Blake Richmond's aesthetic in this drawing, and the Virgil woodcuts by William Blake. "If there be the least value in my pictures, it is due to such lovely early impressions derived from the sweet poetic work of many of [my father's] contemporaries - Calvert, Blake and others, whose shadows are substance still to me." [Sir William Blake Richmond, letter to his father, 50 years after the death of William Blake, from Stirling, op. cit., p. 28]

Castello's fame was established following the publication of his illustrations for Tasso's epic poem Gerusalemme Liberata, which was published in Genoa in 1590, with further editions in 1604, 1615 and 1617. The artist painted scenes from Tasso's epic in several Genoese palaces, including the Palazzo de Franchi, Villa Centurione, and the Palazzo Scassi at San Pierdarena. The present drawing, a fine, highly-finished example of his work, appears to show the main character Godfrey of Bouillon on horseback, with his armies, at the moment of the appearance of the Angel Gabriel above urging the hero to lead the crusade to liberate Jerusalem.
