Briton Riviere, R.A. (British, 1840-1920):Study of a lion, oil on canvas, H 30 x W 40 cm. Note: The present picture is likely to be a preparatory study for the artist's large 1874 Royal Academy exhibit of Apollo Playing the Lute, presently in the Bury Art Museum. The painting closely illustrates lines spoken by the chorus in the play 'Alcestis' by Euripides: 'Apollo's self, Deigned to become a shepherd in thine halls, And tune his lays along the woodland slopes, Whereat entranced the spotted lynxes came, To mingle with thine flocks; from Othry's glen, Trooped tawny lions; e'en the dappled faun, Forth from the shelter of her pinewood haunts, Tripped to the music of the Sun-God's lyre'. The picture caught the attention of the young Gerard Manley Hopkins who discussed it in his journal.

Europe. Cret‚ (B.), Carte Symbolique de L'Europe, Guerre Lib‚ratrice 1914 - 1915, published Paris, 1914, colour lithograph, old folds, slight fraying to margins, repaired closed tears affecting image, some splits to old folds, strengthened on verso, some dust soiling, slight creasing, 455 x 570 A satirical French map showing the state of Europe at the outbreak of World War I. Great Britain is represented by a dreadnought whilst Ireland sails a dinghy in the battleship's wake. An enraged German bull charges at the French cockerel and Marianne pokes at the bull with a short sword. At the same time the German bull is poked in its rump by an imperious Tsar Nicholas II of Russia. The representation of Austria-Hungary as a fallen crown and a series of graves is deeply prophetic, suggesting the impending end of that empire. Poland is a young girl pleading to Russia whilst Italy turns its back on the continent and plays a lute. Sweden and Norway are shown as beautiful young girls in an almost sapphic embrace. The map is a relatively gentle depiction of European national characteristics before the continent descended into chaos. Uncommon. (1)
