An Irish George II embossed picture of a chaffinch by Samuel Dixon, circa 1775from Dixon's 'basso relievo' set of 'Foreign and Domestick Birds'the chaffinch perched upon a branch, with butterflies, convolvulus, snowdrops and other flowers, in original black and gilt-japanned frame, the rear with a later cut and applied facsimile paper dedication to the Countess of Meath, 44cm x 33.3cm overall including frameFootnotes:Samuel Dixon's second and more ambitious set of bird pictures, the so-called 'Foreign and Domestick Birds' differed from his 1750 set in size and in the complexity of their compositions, some featuring as many as three birds, insects, flowers and fruit, and shells and corals.Faulkner's Dublin Journal reported on 21 August 1753 that 'Mr Dixon of Capel-street, is designing a most curious large set of Pictures', but it was not until 9 September 1755 that they were finished and ready for distribution to subscribers. Although the earlier set had carried a single dedication, each of the twelve images from this new edition carried an individual dedication which represented a distinguished roll-call of the Irish gentry.Many of the 1755 works correspond closely to George Edwards' Natural History of Uncommon Birds, but others such as the canary, goldfinch and bullfinch were invented by Dixon. The works were offered in ebonised and gilt-japanned frames which often survive.At the same time Dixon advertised completion of this set he announced his intention of going abroad and thus selling off his stock (excepting the newest work) with auction notices published in January 1756.Examples from the later set are illustrated in Ada K. Longfield, Ada K. Longfield, 'Samuel Dixons's embossed pictures of Flowers and Birds', Quarterly Bulletin of the Irish Georgian Society, vol. XVIII, no.4, 1975, pp. 28 - 30, figs. 10, 11 and 12.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
William Joseph Kentridge (South African 1955 - ) FOUR INSTRUMENTSsigned and numbered 37/40 in pencil in the marginetchingsheet size: 39 by 52,5cm; plate size: 21 by 27,5cm Perhaps one of the most common subjects in William Kentridge’s oeuvre is that of the procession. Often with undertones of besiegement and rebellion, the recurring images of figures marching in profile can be seen across several of the artist’s mediums, from film and installation, to many of his prints. The procession is made up of sequential images, acting as a sort of kinetic sketchbook, where Kentridge “thinks in images”. Figures are drafted into line, but are seen to morph into an assemblage of ordinary household objects. In Four Instruments (lot 353), an antlered nutcracker leads a man in a pin-striped suit, which is Kentridge’s representation of Soho Eckstein, followed by a sextant with a prosthetic leg and a skirted coffee pot. This imagery can be linked to the artist’s larger projects, such as Portage (2000), with striking panels making up his 14-foot-long leporello book, where similarly loose figures trample the pages of the project. Four Instruments can also be admired for its printmaking technique and layering of processes. The work is a drypoint print, with areas of both light and dark drypoint. The harsh, sharp lines in the background of the piece offer a complete juxtaposition to the darkness of the figures. There is a velvety richness in the ink in the heaviest areas, where the burr has been created by reworking the plate with the needle. In this way, line becomes object, and the lack of sharp outlines gives the work a feeling of movement and dynamic energy. McCrickard, K. (n.d.). William Kentridge: Drawing Has its Own Memory.

At Gotha he introduced innovative and progressive ideas based on both his German and English experience.He also started the first European geographical journal. The map contains a great deal of information and shows the route of explorers such as Livingston, Krapf, Ladislaus Magyur, Silva Porto, Speke, etc. There are also detailed insets of Table and False Bay on the map.LITERATURECartwright, Maps of the South Western Cape of Good Hope, #224Scott, V., Tooley's Dictionary of Mapmakers (K-P), Riverside: Early World Press, 2003
