GOUNOD CHARLES: (1818-1893) French Composer. A good A.L.S., `Ch. Gounod´, one page, blue paper, 8vo, n.p., 14th July 1880, in French. The letter is most probably adressed to his colleague Ambroise Thomas. Gounod thanks his correspondent for his kind words, and states in part `Mon cher Maitre et Illustre ami, vous connaissez depuis longtemps ma sincère affection et ma respectueuse et loyale admiration pour vous; je ne vous surprendrai donc pas en vous disant combien votre témoignage me touche et m´honore, il ne pouvait pas y en avoir un dont je fusse plus flatté.´ (Translation: "My dear Master and Illustrious friend, you have known for a long time my sincere affection and my respectful and loyal admiration for you; I will therefore not surprise you by telling you how much your testimony touches and honors me, there could not be one by which I would be more flattered.") Before concluding Gounod refers to an opera by Thomas, saying `Je voudrais pourtant ajouter un mot: j´étais bien fier, il y a trois ans, de votre suffrage; pourquoi, cette fois-ci, ne nous a-t-on pas rendu "La Double Echelle"?´ (Translation: "I would like to add one word: I was very proud, three years ago, of your vote; why, this time, were we not given back La Double Echelle?" With blank integral leaf. With blank integral leaf [with very small area of paper loss to the upper corner]. G to VGAmbroise Thomas (1811-1896) French composer, best remembered for his operas Mignon (1866) and Hamlet (1868).

Manner of Ludovico Carracci, early to mid 19th century- The Pilgrim's Dream, or Jacob's Ladder; oil on canvas laid down on board, signed with initials and dated 'J.H.T. / 1841' (lower right), 53.4 x 41.3 cm. (unframed). Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Note: The staircase to heaven that patriarch Jacob dreams about during his flight from his brother Esau is described in the Book of Genesis (28:10-19). Another version of this work is held in the collection of the Leeds Museum and Galleries [no.LEEDM.E.1969.0239.0001]. Ludovico Carracci (1555-1619) treated the subject in a large-scale oil which is held at the Pinacoteca Nazionale di Bologna [no.835], which the present work and that in Leeds surely draw inspiration from.
Michele Lucchese after Michelangelo Buonarotti, Italian fl.1534-1564- and Italian 1475-1564- The Climbers; engraving on laid paper, mid-16th century, with a watermark of a Ladder in Shield surmounted by a Star (similar to Woodward 249, circa 1550-60), a fine impression of this rare print, printing sharply and with good contrasts and depth, with many vertical wiping marks, signed with initials 'ML' (within the plate, lower right), bears collector's stamp for Benjamin Robert Haydon [Lugt 412] (lower right), 28.3 x 23 cm. (unframed / mounted). Provenance: Benjamin Robert Haydon (1786-1846), London (Lugt 412). With P. & D. Colnaghi & Co., London (according the label on the back of the former frame). Private English Collection; gifted to the present owner. Literature: Bartsch 487 (Raimondi, copy); Passavant 16. Note: The present work is informed by Marcantonio Raimondi's (1480-1534) print after a detail from Michelangelo's fresco of the Battle of Cascina for Florence's City Hall, which was commissioned in 1504 but never completed. The original work was viewed by a number of artists, including Raimondi, before being destroyed, and was therefore known by later generations only through the work of these contemporary copyists.
Circle of Sir John Everett Millais, PRA, British 1829-1896- Studies, of a cockerel, a ballerina, and figures ascending a ladder; grey wash on paper, bears label with partially-indistinct inscription 'SIR JOHN EVERETT MILLAIS, Bart. / P.R.A. / 1829-1896. / an adolescent drawing: ... Sothebys fully attributed. / : purchased Henry Homan [?]' attached to the backing board, 18.2 x 20.1 cm. Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Note: The present work exhibits a striking resemblance to Millais' lively works of juvenalia, including his similarly surreal 'theatrical sketches' which sold at Bonhams, London, on 22 September 2015, lot 32. The loosely-handled technique of the present sketch also recalls his 'Portrait studies of George and Effie Millais', which sold at Christie's, London, on 11 July 2017, lot 17, and his study of 'The Artist and his Wife as Queen Victoria and Prince Albert', which sold at Christie's, London, on 28 February 2007, lot 27.

The rare Arctic Discoveries and Zulu War pair awarded to Master at Arms R. D. Symons, Royal Navy, who served in H.M.S. Alert’s ‘Hercules’ and ‘Poppie’ sledging parties, two members of the former team suffering amputation on account of frostbite South Africa 1877-79, no clasp (B. Symons, S. Corpl. 2.Cl: H.M.S. “Active”); Arctic Medal 1875-76 (R. D. Symonds, A.B. H.M.S. Alert) light contact marks and a bit polished, otherwise nearly very fine (2) £4,000-£5,000 --- Importation Duty This lot is subject to importation duty of 5% on the hammer price unless exported outside the UK --- --- 70 Arctic 1875-76 Medals were awarded to members of H.M.S. Alert’s crew. Robert Denham Symons (sometimes given as Symonds) was born in Rotherhithe, Surrey on 19 February 1852 and entered the Royal Navy as a Boy 2nd Class in February 1868. Joining H.M.S. Alert as an Able Seaman in April 1875, he subsequently participated in the ship’s Arctic expedition, travelling that autumn with Lieutenant W. H. Hay’s sledge ‘Hercules’. Departing the ship on 25 September, and returning on 15 October, two of its eight-man team suffered amputation because of severe frostbite. Then in April and May of 1876, Symons made two trips with Lieutenant G. A. Giffard’s sledge ‘Poppie’, the first outing lasting for 30 days and the second 18 days. His three trips totalled 68 days away from the Alert. Sledging aside, Lieutenant Giffard and Symons had charge of the expedition’s printing press and established ‘The Arctic Printing Office’ which was situated ‘within half a minute’s walk of the foremost Quarter Deck ladder.’ He subsequently served aboard the Active off South Africa from March to April 1879 and was shortly afterwards advanced to Ship’s Corporal 1st Class. He became Master at Arms in June 1885 and was finally pensioned ashore in February 1895. Sold with copied record of service and other research.
The exceptional Second War D-Day Immediate D.S.M. group of five awarded to Stoker 1st Class W. G. Ingram, Royal Navy, who was decorated for his services in L.C.A. 722, which was damaged by enemy fire when landing U.S. Rangers on Pointe Du Hoc, four miles west of Omaha Beach, where the Rangers were tasked with destroying a German coastal battery of six 155mm. howitzers Distinguished Service Medal, G.VI.R. (Sto. 1 W. G. Ingram. P/KX.179183)officially engraved naming; 1939-45 Star; Atlantic Star; Africa Star; War Medal 1939-45, mounted as worn, good very fine (5) £2,400-£2,800 --- Importation Duty This lot is subject to importation duty of 5% on the hammer price unless exported outside the UK --- --- Provenance: Noble Auctions, Sydney, April 2005. D.S.M. London Gazette 28 November 1944: ‘For gallantry, skill, determination and undaunted devotion to duty during the landing of Allied Forces on the coast of Normandy.’ The original recommendation states: ‘He showed conspicuous skill and courage when his craft L.C.A. 722 was damaged by enemy action whilst under machine gunfire. Ingram made great efforts to repair his craft’s engines; although unsuccessful, his devotion to duty was a great example.’ Remarks of Intermediate Authority: ‘This rating had a very difficult task whilst landing U.S. Rangers on Pointe du Hoc.’ Walter Gordon Ingram, who was from Wandsworth, London, was embarked in H.M.S. Ben My Chree on the eve of Operation ‘Neptune’. An ex-Isle of Man ferry of 2,586 tons, which had been converted for use as a Landing Ship Infantry (Heavy), she was charged with transporting three companies of the 2nd U.S. Ranger Battalion to Normandy on D-Day. Thence disembarked to smaller assault landing craft, including L.C.A. 722 with Ingram, the Rangers arrived, under fire, at Pointe du Hoc in the Omaha Beach area, where they were assigned the unenvious mission of capturing the enemy positions on the high cliffs above. A glimpse of L.C.A. 722 and her occupants in action is to be found in the records of the 2nd Ranger Battalion’s assault on Pointe du Hoc: ‘Twenty yards left of Colonel Rudder’s craft, L.C.A. 722 hit shore with IS Company, E Rangers, five Headquarters’ men, a Stars and Stripes photographer, and a Commando officer who had assisted the Rangers in training. Touchdown was made at the edge of a crater, and the men could not avoid it in debarking. Enemy grenades were ineffectual, and the craters and debris on the beach gave sufficient cover from enfilading fire from the left. The only casualty was Pfc. John J. Sillman, wounded three times as the craft came in, hit twice on the beach, and destined to survive. A good deal of assorted equipment came on this craft, including the S.C.R. 284, two pigeons, a 60mm. mortar with ammunition, and some demolitions. All were got ashore without loss, though it took manoeuvring to avoid the deep water in the crater. Tech. 4 C. S. Parker and two other communications men hefted the big radio set on a pack board, and managed to get it in and working before the first climbers from 722 reached the top. The rockets had been fired just before landing. One ladder and one plain rope got up and held (L.C.A. 722 had experienced no trouble with water, and the ropes were comparatively dry). The single rope lay in a slight crevice, but the ladder came down on an overhang where it seemed exposed to the flanking fire and would be hard to climb. Tech. 5 Edward P. Smith tried the plain rope and found he could easily ‘walk it up.’ On top, three or four minutes after landing, he saw a group of Germans to his right throwing grenades over the cliff. Sgt. Hayward A. Robey joined Smith with a BAR. Robey lay in a shallow niche at the cliff edge and sprayed the grenadiers with 40 or 50 rounds fast fire. Three of the enemy dropped and the rest disappeared into shelters. Pfc. Frank H. Petersen, lightly wounded on the beach by a grenade, joined up and the three Rangers went off on their mission without waiting for the climbers. The mortar section in this boat team remained below, according to plan, with the purpose of setting up their 60mm. on the beach to deliver supporting fire. But the beach was too exposed to make this practicable, and time was consumed in getting ammunition from the one surviving supply craft. About 0745 the mortar team went on top without having yet fired … ’ Subsequently, in one of the most famous episodes of the landings, with covering fire from the destroyers H.M.S. Talybont and U.S.S. Satterlee, three companies of Rangers stormed the enemy’s battery positions and eliminated the remaining garrison. Thereafter, they maintained their position throughout the day. Sold with copied research.
