FLEMING IAN: (1908-1964) British Author, creator of the secret agent James Bond. An extremely rare, early original pen and ink sketch drawn and signed by Fleming to an oblong small 8vo page contained in an autograph album, Fleming’s image depicting the cowboy actor Tom Mix standing in a full length pose, wearing a Stetson hat, chaps and cowboy boots with spurs, and holding a firing pistol in each hand. Extending from Mix’s belt is a rein which leads to his horse, the head of which Fleming has drawn at the side of the page. Fleming has entitled his drawing ‘Tom Mix Arrives’ at the head of the page, adding his signature (‘Ian L. Fleming’) and the place, Eton, in his hand beneath. The album bears an ownership inscription to Gerald Meyrick from Ruby Hardinge and also features over 30 other signatures and entries (including verses and other original drawings) from various individuals dating from 1917-23 including Meyrick’s sister, Honor, their aunt and uncle, Caryl Nicholas Charles Hardinge (younger brother of Ruby Hardinge) etc., a number of the entries signed and dated at Orchards Hall, Wetherby, being the Meyrick’s family home. Fleming’s drawing dates from the early 1920s and is an exceptionally rare and desirable early example. The album is bound in maroon leather and with the gilt stamped title Autographs to the centre of the cover. VG Ian Fleming entered Eton College in the Autumn term of 1921, following in the footsteps of his brother Peter who had started his education there a year earlier and was already demonstrating a reputation of academic brilliance. In contrast, Ian Fleming was not a gifted scholar although did show an aptitude for athletics, twice being awarded victor ludorum (champion of the games). In 1925 he was responsible for the co-editorship of an issue of the Eton school magazine The Wyvern, which also featured his first published short story, The Ordeal of Caryl St. George. Fleming was to leave Eton in 1926, having come into conflict with his housemaster, and subsequently gained entry to the Royal Military College at Sandhurst, but stayed less than a year, leaving without a commission (although having contracted gonorrhoea). The circumstances under which Fleming contributed his signed drawing to the present album whilst at Eton are certainly worthy of further research. The history of the album and its original owner, as far as has been revealed in our own research within the limited time available in preparing our catalogue, presents an interesting, albeit somewhat tragic story. Gerald Meyrick (1902-1916) would have been given the present autograph album in the first half of 1916 by his friend Ruby Hardinge, possibly as a present for his birthday on 24th June 1916. However, it is almost certain that Meyrick never actually acquired a single signature or entry in the album himself. Meyrick tragically drowned on 22nd July 1916 near Broadstairs, aged just fourteen, when he went to bathe at Joss Bay accompanied by a party of eleven other boys. Although he could not swim, Meyrick entered the sea and encountered trouble when the tide began to come in. His friends raised an alarm, and a 26 year old former Navy serviceman, George Trice Hammond, who was picnicking with his sweetheart on the beach, made an attempt to rescue Meyrick but sadly also lost his own life in the process. Gerald Meyrick was the only son of Rowland Francis Meyrick (1867-1953) and his wife Eleanor Georgiana Nevill (c.1873-1966). Rowland Meyrick was a Justice of the Peace who also served as Clerk of the Course at Wetherby from 1920 and was a member of the Wetherby Race Company, an organisation formed to purchase the lease of the racecourse. The Rowland Meyrick Handicap Chase is named in his honour. The Meyricks resided at Orchards Hall in Wetherby, Yorkshire, where a number of the entries in the album were made. Although Gerald Meyrick most likely never met Ian Fleming, had life taken a different course for the schoolboy from Yorkshire, their paths would undoubtedly have crossed - at the time of his unfortunate death Meyrick was being educated at St. George’s in North Foreland, Kent, under tuition preparatory to going to Eton. Who was to inherit the album following Gerald Meyrick’s death is unclear, although it evidently did pass hands as all of the entries, where dated, were made after 1916. The signatures may have been collected by his only sibling, Honor Mary Meyrick (1907-1965), however she would obviously not have attended Eton College, and her own entry in the album, dated 9th March 1918, is not typical of one that would be made by the owner of the album and appears to be written with someone else in mind. Whoever the individual was that subsequently took custody of the album following Meyrick’s death, it is certain that they would have moved within the circles of the upper classes of the period – Gerald and Honor Meyrick were the grandchildren of Sir Thomas Charlton Meyrick (1837-1921) 1st Baronet and a Conservative Member of Parliament associated with Apley Castle in Shropshire. Ian Fleming was born into a wealthy family connected to the merchant bank Robert Fleming & Co and his father, Valentine Fleming, was also a Conservative Member of Parliament for Henley from 1910-17 and a close friend of Winston Churchill. The Meyricks were also clearly acquainted with the Hardinge family; the Hon. Ruby Hardinge (1897-1977) having originally presented the album to Gerald Meyrick. The album also features an original pen and ink drawing by her younger brother, Caryl Nicholas Charles Hardinge (1905-1979) 4th Viscount Hardinge of Lahore and Kings Newton who was educated at Harrow and later at the Royal Military College at Sandhurst, just as Fleming was. Could Hardinge be the link between Meyrick and Fleming? Is it just a coincidence that Fleming’s first published story in Eton’s school magazine incorporated the unusual forename Caryl, or was the Viscount an inspiration to Fleming?

REMBRANDT HARMENSZ. VAN RIJN (1606-1669) The Ringball player ('Het Klosbaantje'), etching, 1654, 9.4 x 13.9cm, on paper with countermark of double-wired letters D M (not recorded by Hinterding), the sheet 10.2 x 14.8cm. Notes: Bartsch 125; Hinterding & Rutgers (New Hollstein) 282, first state of two. Provenance: Naudet, Marchand d'Estampes au Louvre (Lugt 1937), ink inscription verso (very faded). With John Baskett, 173 New Bond Street, London The late Mrs Joan Beale; previously on loan to the Ashmolean Museum. A very good impression, probably contemporary (the second state is not). With margins and in good condition. This impression is also cited by Hinterding & Rutgers when on loan to the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford (L11056.1). Although the print used to be called 'The Golf Player' (from 'kolef'), the man in the foreground is sitting out his turn from the ringball alley in the background, where one man is playing while two others are probably laying bets. The sport was called 'Klossen' (it is still played today but called 'Beugelen'), the Dutch and Flemish word 'klos' being a ball for bowling, and the origin of the mediaeval French and English names of the game, Cloishe or Closh. There is a famous engraving of Louis XIV playing an early form of billiards with his courtiers, with an iron hoop to aim the balls through, rather than pockets, and with a cue with a scooped end, a refined version of the one seen in the etching; so billiards evolved, in fact, as a table-top adaptation of ringball.(Lots 158-170)A fine collection of etchings, drawings and watercolours until recently on loan to the Ashmolean Museum: This intriguing collection of etchings, drawings and watercolours was gathered together by Jean and Bill Beale. They lived beside the Thames at Chelsea in London through the nineteen sixties and seventies while Bill worked in the Foreign Office.

This can be seen on the backing to the frames. In later life the Beales moved to a village in Oxfordshire. The subject matter of their pictures reflected their interest in rural England, the Thames and the highest standard of British and European drawing and watercolour painting. In the 1990’s the collection was placed on loan to the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, which has conserved their fine condition that makes them such a pleasure to look at today. All but two are unframed but professionally re-mounted to museum specification, however the frames with their labels have been preserved and are sold in their respective lots

John Martin (1789-1854) and othersAN IMPORTANT SCRAPBOOK OF ART AND MUSIC Abigail Cohen, who married William John Whyte* of Marleybone, 1844; Thence by descent through the Whyte family; Private collection, West of Scotland * William John Whyte is thought to be the grandson of Samuel Whyte, founder of the celebrated Whyte's Academy, Grafton Street, now home to Bewley's café.
