§ Bettina Shaw-Lawrence (British, b.1921) Portrait of David Kentish, asleep signed lower right "Shaw-Lawrence" pen, ink and wash 35 x 42cm (14 x 16in) Other Notes: Bettina Shaw-Lawrence and Lucian Freud were great friends and lovers. They met in 1939 at the Cafe Royal in Regent Street after Bettina had returned from studying in Paris under Fernand Leger to study at Cedric Morris' s East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing at Benton End, Essex. At the same time as she met Freud, Bettina also met the art student and later actor, David Kentish, with whom she also became romantically involved, leading to a complex relationship between the three of them. Bettina writes of the time with Freud: "We were not in love but we were lovers, briefly ... we had this lovely barn at Benton End where we used to make love and then watch the dogfights in the sky". At one point, tensions came to a head between the three of them over a sweater which David had given to Bettina, resulting in a fist fight between Freud and Kentish - after which Bettina and Kentish were thrown out of the School ('Breakfast with Lucian: A Portrait of the Artist' by Geordie Greig, 2015, p.70) In late 1939, Bettina, Freud and Kentish spent a period of time living in Capel Curig, Wales. The three of them drew numerous studies and portraits of each other throughout their friendship - both Freud and Kentish executed portraits of Bettina for her 20th birthday, however Bettina was never given these portraits. They were kept in the school warehouse by Cedric Morris. Bettina Shaw-Lawrence held her first exhibition at the Leicester Galleries with John Aldridge in October 1947, and throughout her career exhibited at the Leicester Galleries, Reid & Lefèvre Gallery and the Léger Gallery. A little crinkling and a tear top left-hand edge. No glass in the frame.

[VENICE] RANDAL FRANK: (1852-1917) British Artist, protégé of Ruskin. A.L.S., Frank, four pages, 8vo, Venice, 8th September 1898, to his Aunt. Randall wishes his aunt many happy returns then further writes 'I was very much out of sorts on leaving Turin' but that he was now in Venice 'were friends are not lacking'. Continuing 'Venice this third visit seems more beautiful than ever. … it is like coming home to find myself with the same surroundings.' Explaining 'I suppose now I shall remain until the winter arrives to drive me back to Paris and later London. There are decidedly fewer English and American visitors this season. The former probably on account of the troubles during Spring and the latter of the war, though Germans are not conspicuous by their absence although their favourite month is usually October and then we are to have the Kaiser for a few days previous to his going to Constantinople, Palestine and Egypt.' Adding that has also been a 'big fire at the maritime docks… The petroleum stores show how or other caught fire and were burning for four whole days and nights… Fortunately there was no wind at the time else Venice might have been totally destroyed.' The letter contains two 3 x 4 pen & ink drawings by Randal, the first of 'Palaces. Canalgrande', the second, 'St. Marks Church'. Minor are related wear, three horizontal creases that do not affect text or signature. VGThe first drawing is a preliminary sketch that would develop into 'The Grand Canal at St. John Chrysostom, Venice', which Randal exhibited at the Royal Academy 1901

OLIVE CARLETON SMYTH (SCOTTISH 1880 - 1933),CATHLIN CLUTHA AGUS OSCARpen, ink and heightened with gold on vellum, signed20.5cm x 25cmMounted, framed and under glass.Notes: This drawing shows Cathlin Clutha with Oscar. Cath'lin of Clu'tha, daughter of Cathmol. Duth-Carmor of Cluba had slain Cathmol in battle, and carried off Cathlin by force, but she contrived to make her escape and craved aid of Fingal. Ossian and Oscar were selected to espouse her cause, and when they reached Rathcol (where Duth-Carmor lived), Ossian re- signed the command of the battle to his son Oscar. Oscar and Duth-Carmor met in combat, and the latter fell. The victor carried the mail and helmet of Duth-Carmor to Cathlin, and Cathlin said, " Take the mail and place it high in Selma's hall, that you may remember the helpless in a distant land."OSSIAN is the narrator and purported author of a cycle of epic poems published by the Scottish poet James Macpherson from 1760. Macpherson claimed to have collected word-of-mouth material in Gaelic, said to be from ancient sources, and that the work was his translation of that material. Ossian is based on Oisín, son of Finn or Fionn mac Cumhaill, anglicised to Finn McCool, a legendary bard who is a character in Irish mythology. Contemporary critics were divided in their view of the work's authenticity, but the consensus since is that Macpherson framed the poems himself, based on old folk tales he had collected. The work was internationally popular, translated into all the literary languages of Europe and was influential both in the development of the Romantic movement and the Gaelic revival.Olive Carleton Smyth trained at Glasgow School of Art between 1900 and 1909 as a fresco decorator and artist. She was an early tutor at the School and was recruited by Francis (Fra) Newbery in 1902 while still a student. She was appointed Head Of Design at the GSA in 1933. Her work rarely appears at auction but 'PYTHEUS BUYS AMBER' a tempera and gold paint on vellum (34 by 40cm., 13¼ by 15½in) sold at Sotheby's, London 13.10.2012 lot 136 for £43,250 (premium).Smythe's work has a theatrical quality, reflecting her interest in theatre, and her influences included the Ballets Russes, with its dramatic themes, colours and costumes.

ADAMS MARCUS: (1875-1959) British Society Photographer, noted for his portraits of children. An interesting archive of letters, personal papers, original photographs and drawings etc., previously belonging to Adams, featuring correspondence between Adams and his sitters, most notably the young Princess Elizabeth, the future Queen Elizabeth II, and quite possibly including the earliest signature of the monarch (aged 3 years) to have ever appeared at auction. The archive includes – (i)                 An extremely early, bold pencil signature (‘Elizabeth’) by Princess Elizabeth, at just 3 years of age and most likely executed with the assistance of her nurse, Clara Knight (1879-1946), known as ‘Allah’ within the Royal household, at the foot of an A.L.S. C Knight, by Knight, one page, 8vo, Piccadilly, 18th December 1929, to Marcus Adams, announcing ‘Your beautiful holly has made us look like Xmas already! The Princess says I am to say “Thank you very much for your lovely holly”. I don’t think I have ever seen such wonderful berries’.(ii)               A remarkable and charming series of three folio sheets of paper removed from Marcus Adams’ sketchbook and featuring a series of bold pencil sketches and doodles accomplished by the three year old Princess Elizabeth, with the assistance of the photographer, the first image is open to interpretation and depicts the head and neck of what could either be described as a somewhat fierce looking animal with cat like features, or a human with a rather angry stare, annotated by Adams ‘Drawn by Marcus Adams July 31st 1929 with the aid of Princess Lillybet (sic) in the children’s studio, London’, the outline of the drawing, including the ears, most likely in the hand of the Princess and the facial features, in particular the eyes, most likely in the hand of Adams. A long arched line appears above the drawing, again annotated by Adams, ‘This line was drawn by Princess Lillybet (sic) July 31st 1929’, the page also featuring the surname ‘Adams’ written in capital letters, evidently by the photographer himself. The second page features a pencil list in the hand of Adams (including ‘Bulbs, Seeds, Roses, Sweetpeas’ and other garden and household items) over which appear a series of drawings of animal heads, most resembling cats, again evidently drawn principally by Adams in an attempt to teach the young Princess how to draw, but also with some less well accomplished drawings of animal heads, undoubtedly the efforts of the Princess. The third page features a pencil drawing by Adams of a large country house and gardens, with a sole figure walking across the lawn and with a large tree in the foreground, the page featuring a series of somewhat random and bolder pencil lines, scribbles and circles etc., obviously the work of the young Princess. The name Lilybet appears at the base of the page, in the hand of Adams, and is heavily crossed through in pencil, presumably by the Princess.(iii)             A rare, early A.L.S., Elizabeth, one page, 8vo, Piccadilly, 18th December 1933, to Marcus Adams (‘Dear Mr. Adams’), stating, in full, ‘Ever so many thanks for the lovely holly you sent me today, and the Xmas cards. Wishing you a very happy xmas, from Elizabeth’. Accompanied by the original envelope hand addressed by the Princess. Some light overall staining and soiling, slightly affecting the text and signature.(iv)              A fascinating autograph manuscript signed (‘Marcus Adams’) by Adams entitled ‘Notes’ on my contacts with the Royal Family from 1928 to present day, nine pages, 4to, n.p., 1958, stating, in part, ‘…the curtain is completely raised to reveal the understanding of prophecy. The world will be awakened to realise the importance of this age and how vital the birth of Princess Elizabeth is in the fulfilment of things come…For this reason I appreciate… and feel highly honoured to have had the opportunity of making exclusive portrait records of the early life of this important personality……I have produced a series of portraits that convey the dignity of Royalty combined with a standard that justify my efforts, they are not just mere snapshots taken in a careless and casual fashion that may be news today and forgotten soon after… but never reach the standard of dignity that the Royal family deserve…Events can be recalled at the time of the Coronation of King George, when in one day over 200 called at the studio for press copies… to say nothing for the telephone calls… It was estimated that one particular group was produced… to some thousand million imprints. Besides the actual press there was always a constant request for right to reproduce… on mugs, jigsaw puzzles, handkerchiefs… babies rattles, almanacs, these all had be considered on their own merits, if any doubt was involved it was always referred to the Controllers of the Palace …I well remember on one occasion at Windsor the leading cable got so warmed up it showed signs of burning…I recall an incident that happened during the sitting my assistant whispered to me that the focussing screen had smashed. I met the circumstance calmly by taking two stamps from my wallet and sticking it together. The King who was always alert, remarked What’s the trouble Adams, Oh only the screen is broken and I am mending the bits with two of your fathers portraits, they acted in a perfect fashion and we can proceed with all speed….I was working with the late Queen Mary and Princess Elizabeth, she was in a great hurry, so I lost no time… After I had finished my part Her Majesty turned to Mr. [Bertram] Park and said, As Marcus Adams has been so quick I can spare you time to make some pictures of me, which dress would you like best… Thus Mr. Parks made some interesting studies, whilst I acted as his assistant. She [Elizabeth] was a child and I treated her as a child… a sitting would last about an hour. During one sitting complete with baby Margaret and the parents: my son tells me I exposed about 300 plates, it was probably the most difficult task I had encountered…’ Stapled within stiff card wrappers bearing the ink title and signature of Adams to the front cover.(v)                A.L.S., Marcus Adams “Gollywog”, one page, 4to, Swallowfield, Berkshire, Christmas 1931, to ‘H.R. Princess Elizabeth’, stating, in full, ‘A sprig of Holly and a big wish for a very Happy jolly & Bright Xmas from the Hills of Oxfordshire and the sender’.(vi)              A collection of ten folio pages removed from a scrapbook belonging to Adams and with various A.Ls.S., T.Ls.S., autograph notes, a few pencil drawings, some original photographs by Adams, Bertram Park and Howard Coster (some loose and most neatly laid down to pages) etc., all relating to the photographer’s work with the British Royal family and others, 1929-34,(vii)            A collection of correspondence comprising around 60 A.Ls.S., T.Ls.S., a few telegrams etc., from various individuals, most ladies-in-waiting to various members of the British Royal family but also including some other notable individuals, all to Marcus Adams or his son Gilbert Adams, late 1920s-1990, most on the subject of photographs, thanking Adams for prints or arranging appointments etc.,An exceptional archive of material containing several extremely rare examples of the autograph of the young Queen Elizabeth II in various forms.

A Victorian vellum treasure's account book, from the Witton Lane Primitive Methodist Chapel, with extensive ink MS. tabulations from 1862-1927, including payments for cleaning services, the organist's and further salaries, aid, drawing, painting, printing, concert proceeds, prizes, coal and gas, carpentry, etc., titled front board, tall 4to This accounts book could relate to two Primitive Methodist chapels in Victorian England: as the foundation stone for the chapel at Witton Park, County Durham, was not laid until 1883 it is more likely that the accounts inscribed herein relate to Witton-le-Wear in the same county. Though the Witton-le-Wear chapel itself was opened in 1901, there had been an organised Methodist presence in the village since 1822 unlike Witton Park.

Both collections were published: the first collection in the issue entitled Collection of Etruscan, Greek, and Roman antiquities from the cabinet of the Honble. Wm. Hamilton, His Britannick Maiesty's envoy extraordinary at the Court of Naples. (1766-76); the second collection was published in 1793-1803. Hamilton used a German painter Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Tischbein (1751-1829) as the artist for his second issue. He made 240 illustrations, which were printed in four volumes. As a director of an art academy, he used the help of his students to get precise images by copying vase painting several times. Drawings were made on high-quality Dutch paper, some with the watermark PIETER DE VRIES COMP, acquired from the De Morgenstar paper mill. That paper was produced only during the years 1794-1803, which fits with the time of printing the drawings. . Fine condition.
