§ Robert Salmon (British 1939-2020)Figures by the sea signed to the reverse oil on board 90 x 83.5cm Footnote: Born in Nottinghamshire, Robert trained at Mansfield Art School and then moved to London having secured a place at Goldsmith’s Art College. On graduation he pursued a career as a teacher of Art, while continuing to produce and develop his own distinctive work in oils. Robert was most productive in the 60s through to the early 90s. He worked very patiently and reflectively, often choosing to overpaint sections of intense decorative detail. His highly imaginative oil paintings were regularly selected for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition (1972/ 1974/ 1977/ 1980/ 1983) and sold by the Weitzmann Gallery in New Bond Street, Bell Lodge Gallery in East Sussex, Bull’s Eye Gallery in Lichfield, Jasper Galleries in Madrid and Pearl Fox Fine Paintings, Philadelphia. Many were purchased by private clients, but institutional purchasers included Bolton Art Gallery and the Beecroft Southend Gallery, plus Education Committees in Leicester, Hull, and Oxford. Robert was also commissioned by the Oxford University Press to produce the fine ink line drawing illustrations for their publication entitled ‘Worlds of English and Drama’ (1983).

Lot 271

German armorial manuscript volume. Containing 480 hand-painted continental shields & crests, early 16th century, comprising five double-page sheets (opening to 425 x 600 mm) on thick wove paper, 96 shields to each double-page sheet or opening, each armorial finely drawn in pen & ink with original watercolour in red, blue, yellow and green, and captioned in brown ink in a secretary hand (with some unusual spellings of names which suggest an early composition for example Meittenharsre mod. metzenhaussen, Mobingartt mod. Bomgart and Scharenstein mod. Horenstein), the style of drawing is continental and the absence of an Italic influence suggests an early date, few discreet old repairs, each sheet laid onto good quality 17th century(?) laid paper (and so, thought worthy of preservation even at this date), some light dust-soiling, few minor marks (including old damp stain to one sheet), edges neatly strengthened with archival tissue, guards and endpapers renewed, upper pastedown with small portion of earlier pastedown retained with 'Anon 478' written in ink and pencil, modern full tan calf professionally bound by Julian Thomas (volume conserved & rebound in 2010, and original invoice for binding and conservation work included), single gilt-line to border to boards, spine with raised bands and double gilt-line decoration, slim folio 440 x 335 mmQty: (1)NOTESThe armorials include many canting arms and early Grand Masters of the Teutonic Knights, some very early examples not recorded in Siebmacher's Wappenbuch. The most prevalent coats appear to be for bearers in Bavaria, Suabia, Franconia and Rhineland (Bavaria was a Duchy, later a kingdom, which split at various times rather than being a separate entity). The Grand Masters of the Teutonic Order are early, e.g. Berfurtteyer (mod. Karl Beffart v. Trier); Dussanre (mod. Heinrich Dusner); Ludolf Konig et al. There is very little 'vert' (green) in the shields, a colour that was not much used in early heraldry. The watermarks (pomme de pin, double-headed eagle and bear) compare to examples included in Briquet & Piccard dating from between the 1480s to 1540s.
