Dame Laura Knight RA, RWS, RE, RWA, PSWA, DBE (1877-1970), The Bathing Pool, gouache on paper, signed and dated lower right 'Laura Knight '12', 45.5x66cm.Provenance: the painting was purchased by the vendor’s father from Knight’s retrospective exhibition held at the Royal Academy in 1965, where it was item number 84. There is a letter from Knight to the buyer. The original exhibition catalogue is with the painting.From 1907 Knight lived in Cornwall, first in Newlyn, then the village of Lamorna, just west of Penzance. Around this time Knight began painting nudes outdoors. Lamorna is a rocky cove, surrounded by quarries, with the great rocks seemingly tumbling into the sea, and it was typically on these rocks or atop the cliffs that Knight set her nude compositions. There was, apparently, some local resentment at this, but the landowner Col. Paynter, allowed Knight a free rein. This piece, painted in 1912, is almost certainly Lamorna, the bathers in a granite rock pool exposed by the low tide.

Eyre and executors of William Strahan [-George Eyre and Andrew Strahan], 1792-6, stitched in sheet of contemporary printer's waste, folio (2 additional Acts of Parliament laid in, 4to) [Scrapbook of military and naval crests], mostly trimmed and mounted, bookplate of John Darby of Markly, Sussex, contemporary green half roan, 4to (Qty: 15)Significant and extensive collection of rare signal and instruction books used by Henry D'Esterre Darby (1749-1823), captain of HMS Bellerophon at the Battle of the Nile (1798), together with additional material with provenance to Darby, and several further signal books without indication of ownership but all similarly unsophisticated in their original bindings, including one accomplished throughout with flags in watercolour, and evidently used in maritime conditions (item 10). Darby was captain of HMS Adamant from 1794 to 1796, escorting shipping to West Indies and Mediterranean. He was appointed captain of the Bellerophon during the summer of 1796 and led her in the blockade of Cadiz before the confrontation with Napoleon's forces in the Bay of Abu Qir. The Bellerophon suffered heavy casualties and Darby was himself wounded. John Marshall, in his Royal Naval Biography (1823), declared that 'The undaunted magnanimity with which Captain Darby placed her alongside her mighty antagonist [l'Orient], excited at the moment the highest admiration, and must ever be the theme of eulogium'. In 1801 Darby captained the newly-built Spencer in the Algeciras campaign and returned to England in 1802 with the rank of commodore, with subsequent promotions up to full admiral by 1819, and a knighthood the following year. All such signal books and their accompanying instructions are highly uncommon, with officers enjoined to ensure their timely destruction 'so that they may not fall into the Hands of the Enemy, by the Capture or Loss of their Ships' (item 3, explanatory instructions, article X). Of the dated items numbers 2 and 4-8 in our listing are untraced in libraries. The National Maritime Museum and the Navy Department Library each has a different set of instructions for 1795 but neither collates with our copy (item 2). A single copy of item 3 is held by the Navy Department Library in Washington, D. C; ESTC (T136497) locates two copies of another set of signals for 1796 with a different collation, containing day and fog signals only, whereas our copy also contains night signals. ESTC (N41002) traces one copy only of a 1798 issue of item 5. Further manuscripts and papers from Darby's career are now found at Cambridge, the British Library, Brown University, and Boston Public Library (USA). Provenance: acquired by the vendor from Francis Edwards in the 1980s.
