FitzRoy Somerset, 1st Baron Raglan signed 7x3 page dated 23rd January 1894 . Field Marshal FitzRoy James Henry Somerset, 1st Baron Raglan, GCB, PC (30 September 1788 - 28 June 1855), known before 1852 as Lord FitzRoy Somerset, was a British Army officer. When a junior officer, he served in the Peninsular War and the Waterloo campaign, latterly as military secretary to the Duke of Wellington. He also took part in politics as Tory Member of Parliament for Truro, before becoming Master-General of the Ordnance. He became commander of the British troops sent to the Crimea in 1854: his primary objective was to defend Constantinople, and he was also ordered to besiege the Russian Port of Sevastopol. After an early success at the Battle of Alma, a failure to deliver orders with sufficient clarity caused the fateful Charge of the Light Brigade at the Battle of Balaclava. Despite further success at the Battle of Inkerman, a poorly coordinated allied assault on Sevastopol in June 1855 was a complete failure. Raglan died later that month, after having dysentery and depression.

The Last Enemy signed by Richard Hillary. Hardback book 1942 First Edition with no dust jacket, pencil note inside front page Many Happy Returns with love from Richard July 2nd 1942. In reasonable condition, a little discoloured to spine and a small paper loss to bottom of one page and couple light creases on 2 pages towards end. St Johns and Red cross Hospital Library sticker on inside page. Flight Lieutenant Richard Hope Hillary (20 April 1919 - 8 January 1943) was an Anglo-Australian Royal Air Force fighter pilot during the Second World War. He wrote the book The Last Enemy about his experiences during the Battle of Britain. Hillary was called up to the Royal Air Force in October 1939 and in July 1940, having completed his training, he was posted to B Flight, No. 603 Squadron RAF, located at RAF Montrose, flying Spitfires. The Squadron moved south to RAF Hornchurch on 27 August 1940 and immediately saw combat. In one week of combat Hillary personally claimed five Bf 109s shot down, claimed two more probably destroyed and one damaged. On 3 September 1940 he had just made his fifth kill when he was shot down by a Messerschmitt Bf 109 flown by Hauptmann Helmuth Bode of II./JG 26. Unable to bail out of the flaming aircraft immediately, Hillary sustained extensive burns to his face and hands. Before it crashed he fell out of the stricken Spitfire unconscious. Regaining his senses whilst falling through space, he deployed a parachute and landed in the North Sea, where he was subsequently rescued by lifeboat Lord Southborough (ON 688) from the Margate Station. Hillary was taken for medical treatment to the Royal Masonic Hospital, Hammersmith, London; and afterwards, under the direction of the surgeon Archibald McIndoe, to the Queen Victoria Hospital, East Grinstead, in Sussex. He endured three months of repeated surgery in an attempt to repair the damage to his hands and face, and went on to become one of the best known members of McIndoe's Guinea Pig Club. He wrote an account of his experiences, published in 1942 under the title Falling Through Space in the United States, and as The Last Enemy in Great Britain. Hillary was killed in his 24th year on 8 January 1943, along with Navigator/Radio Operator Sgt. Wilfred Fison, when he crashed a Bristol Blenheim during a night training flight in adverse weather conditions, the wrecked aircraft coming down on farmland in Berwickshire, Scotland.

Sir Henry Bartle Edward Frere signed 9x8 photo the oval image depicting Frere in a semi profile head and shoulders pose signed in fountain pen to the lower photographers mount and dated 4th February 1877 in his hand. Some very light minor foxing to the mount . Sir Henry Bartle Edward Frere, 1st Baronet, GCB, GCSI, PC (29 March 1815 - 29 May 1884) was a Welsh British colonial administrator. He had a successful career in India, rising to become Governor of Bombay (1862-1867). However, as High Commissioner for Southern Africa (1877-1880), he implemented a set of policies which attempted to impose a British confederation on the region and which led to the overthrow of the Cape's first elected government in 1878 and to a string of regional wars, culminating in the invasion of Zululand (1879) and the First Boer War (1880-1881). The British Prime Minister, Gladstone, recalled Frere to London to face charges of misconduct; Whitehall officially censured Frere for acting recklessly.

An Etruscan Bone Mirror HandleCirca 6th Century B.C.Height 8 3/32 inches (20.6 cm).O'Gara and Wilson, Ltd., Antiquarian Booksellers, Chesterton, IndianaProvenance:Private Collection of an Archaeologist, Italy, prior to 1949.Father Angelico Rinaldo Zarlenga (1919-1985), Italy and United States; thence by descent to his brother.Fra Angelico Art Foundation, Riverside, Illinois; where acquired by the current owner, 14 August 2008.Note:This rare and finely carved bone handle depicts a mythical scene from the ninth labor of Hercules in which Hercules draws his sword to kill Hippolyta, the queen of the Amazons, and take her belt. Themes from Greek mythology were immensely popular and often the motif of choice for Etruscan toiletries. Originally a bronze mirror engraved with similar subject matter would have connected to this handle.Used primarily by women, these mirrors were designed to include relevant visual metaphors and allegories. As is the case with the handle seen here, the dark subject matter of death is made light with sexual overtones. Hercules is depicted in the nude with a warrior's physique holding an erect sword close to his hip, while Hippolyta is shown in full panoply with shield held high and in a defensive position. Together, these two figures fill the entire tableau, their bodies overlapping multiple times around the handle. Hercules' right arm can be seen tucked behind Hippolyta's shield, and left leg pressing against her inner thigh. They are facing each other, heads in profile, both with expressive smiles. Thus, it comes as no surprise that the spirit of this decoration was intended for the boudoir.Although the subject matter on this handle depicts a purely Greek scene, it is heavily Etruscanized. The geometric stylization, difference in scale, distinct drill work, archaistic features, and slight variations to mythological iconography, places this object in Etruria, Italy during the 6th Century B.C. when Etruscan culture was flourishing most. For a bone handle with similar scene, see The British Museum of Art (Inv. no. 1884,0614.30).Height with stand 8 13/16 inches (22.4 cm).

A Palmyrene Limestone ReliefCirca 3rd Century A.D.24 x 27 inches. 24 x 34 inches. Property from a Midwest Private CollectionProvenance:Royal Athena Galleries, New York, 2002.Note:Unlike the more common funerary relief busts that are forward facing, this relief (now in two parts) is in profile and depicts two merchants, one with saddled horse and the other with loaded camel, engaging in trade. The caravan city of Palmyra was a popular destination for traders along the Silk Road. Goods from both the East and West were frequently exchanged which in turn brought prosperity and wealth to the region. It is probable the deceased for which this relief was commissioned was a wealthy merchant.Two separate panels intact as preserved on a single moveable metal mount. Left panel with horizontal crack meandering across horse's legs, palm tree, and at left boarder. Larger loses to horse's front legs with minor loses and chips overall. Subtle infilling on cracks typical of ancient limestone reliefs only evident under UV light. Fine, stable and attractive condition overall.
