A remarkable vintage photograph capturing a moment of American postwar leadership, featuring President Harry S. Truman shaking hands with General George C. Marshall, and Major General Harry H. Vaughan standing prominently in the background. Signatures from both Truman and Vaughan make this a rare dual-autographed piece with historical relevance.Taken during the late 1940s, likely in connection with Marshall's tenure as Secretary of State or during key postwar military planning sessions, this photograph embodies the leadership that shaped the United States' global role in the aftermath of World War II. George C. Marshall, hailed as the architect of the European Recovery Program (the Marshall Plan), served as both Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense under Truman. Harry H. Vaughan, Truman's close friend from their World War I service and longtime military aide, is pictured in full uniform observing the historic handshake between Truman and Marshall. Vaughan's autograph, rarely seen alongside Truman's, adds particular value to this artifact.The photo not only captures the stature and camaraderie of three towering figures of mid-20th century American military and political life, but also stands as a testament to the Truman administration's commitment to international rebuilding and military restructuring in the early Cold War era.

George Smart (English, 1774-1846) known as The Tailor of Frant, or a follower of George Smart (possibly named R Marshall), 'Old Bright The Postman', probably early-mid 19thC, a cut and assembled fabric and leather collage, showing the old postman in a felt coat and trousers leading a donkey along a road through Frant, with his satchel and holding two letters, with Frant church and a house behind him, framed and glazed in a period black painted frame, and brown paper glued to the back with an applied photocopied label and a further label cellotaped on, together with a copy of the book 'George Smart, The Tailor of Frant: Artist in Cloth & Velvet Figures', by Jonathan Christie, published by Unicorn, 2016, in which the picture is shown, frame 43cm wide, 39.5cm high.PROVENANCEChristie's, The Judkyn/Pratt Collection of British Folk Art, 8th November 1995.A Folk Art dealer, London.The Property of a GentlemanLITERATUREThis picture is illustrated and discussed on page 113 of the monograph book 'George Smart, The Tailor of Frant: Artist in Cloth & Velvet Figures', by Jonathan Christie, published by Unicorn, 2016. Author and noted George Smart expert Christie states that "...This Postman is considered the earliest known example of this subject by Smart. ... The historian and writer James Ayres knew this picture well and indeed described it as one of the earliest of its type. The metallic flags appear in later versions as does the clump of trees perched on top of the hill on the right." However, since the publication of this book, opinions on the authorship of this picture differ, with the author of the above book and another expert now believing this to possibly be the work of another hand in the style of George Smart. A clue may lie in the photocopied label glued to the back of the brown paper. In old inked writing, this reads 'the Frant Postman Returning home from the tunbridge Wells 93 years of age by R Marshall'. This could be a photocopy of an old, original label under the brown paper, which is stuck down to the backboard presumably irretrievably covering the original label, if it is indeed there - and if the two are connected. FOOTNOTE: George Smart (1774-1846) is a key figure in English Folk Art. He lived in the village of Frant, around 2 miles south of Tunbridge Wells. As well as offering tailoring services, he made fabric covered dummy boards and pictures that he sold from shelves attached to his house, 'Smart's Repository', on the main road. His fame grew and he was included in period tourist guidebooks to Tunbridge Wells. In 1820, he sold works to His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, and thus then considered himself 'By Royal Appointment'. Although there are no records of how many pieces Smart made, and no idea of how much they cost, it is thought that only around 100 of his works survive - all in public or private collections. There are no records of R. Marshall, or any period artists producing work in Smart's style and featuring his characters. This is a very rare opportunity to acquire not only a work in superb condition showing Smart's most beloved local Kentish character.Old Bright, the Frant postman, is arguably Smart's most loved, mosty frequently shown character. Delivering post was Old Bright's second career - before, he was known as the 'Sweeper of The Walks', (The Pantiles). This example contains all the detail of Smart's depiction of this popular character, from the buckles on the shoes to his leather satchel, the furry grey hair, tired demeanour, handwritten letters with their cryptic part-hidden addresses, and more.CONDITION: Overall very good to excellent considering the age and materials of the piece. No apparent missing components. Although the donkey's eye does not have a bead and his coat has no buttons, there are no patches (such as remains of glue), where these may have been held. There is some fading and darkening all over, as to be expected, and a couple of small patches of losses to the pile of the felt used for the road and the field, and a fence post and the church, as photographed. There are two cuts to an area of the field behind and above the milestone, presumably (like with the milestone itself), to add an sense of form or undulation. Remarkably, the gilt paper components used for the flags and church clock tower hands all survive in place. Not examined out of its frame or under a black light, but the brown paper backing has been cut and lifted in one area.Packing & ShippingLet us take the hassle of sorting out packing and shipping from you.

BRITISH ARMYThe 1st King's Dragoon GuardsWhen stationed at Aldershot, on 12 February 1879, the King's Dragoon Guards received a sudden order for service in South Africa. With as little delay as practicable, they were brought up to war strength by volunteers from other corps and the transfer of horses; on 27 February the left wing embarked at Southampton under the command of Major Marter, in the hired transport Spain; the right wing, with Headquarters, followed the next day under Colonel Alexander in the Egypt.Both ships arrived at Durban on 8 April, the men marching to Pietermaritzburg and then on to Dundee where they were joined by the 17th Lancers. On 19 April both regiments began marching towards Rorke's Drift, arriving at the battleground of Isandhlwana two days later; here they attempted to identify and bury the bodies of those who perished almost three months previously.Engaged in reconnaissance for a time thereafter, on 6 June the K.D.G's were involved in a particularly savage exchange at Erzungayan: the Zulus were found strongly posted in a wood which was intersected with dongas, and in front of which was a line of four large kraals and from here they poured a heavy fusillade upon men under the command of Colonel Buller and those of the 17th Lancers under Colonel Lowe. Seeing this, and fearing the Zulus might rush out upon the horses, the K.D.G's formed up on the flank and right rear of the 17th; the Zulus however remained completely concealed in the wood, and General Marshall had little choice but to give the order to retire. Realising their opportunity and following in skirmishing order, the Dragoon's had barely crossed the Upoko, in which there were quicksands, when a brisk fire was opened upon them.Thereafter, the regiment was employed on regular reconnaissance and skirmishing duties, using Fort Newdigate as a staging post; in these raids scores of native villages were destroyed. On the night of 7 August 1879, a detachment marched to Emptonjaneni, twelve miles distant from Ulundi. In the night a fearful storm of wind and rain smashed into the camp and continued until 11 a.m. the next morning. Lightning strikes, shock and the sheer ferocity of the weather left 360 transport bullocks dead in the camp, with approximately 90 more being discovered dead in the surrounding bushes.On 18 August Major Marter marched with a squadron of K.D.G's under orders to establish a chain of outposts to St. Paul's, 40 miles distant, and to keep up communications throughout the line by patrolling day and night, in order to prevent the King from breaking across. The men subsequently joined Clarke's Column and on 27 August the expedition commenced which resulted in the capture of the King.719 Medals were issued to the 1st King's Dragoon Guards, 641 of them with the '1879' clasp.Pair: Troop Sergeant-Major W.

The 'Trench Raid Leader's' M.C. group of three awarded to Lieutenant P. Crampton, 2/5th Battalion, Loyal North Lancashire Regiment, who was seriously wounded during a hand-to-hand clashThe same action saw him seriously wounded while leading a bayonet charge, leading to Crampton being treated by Harold Gillies, one of the pioneers of modern plastic surgeryMilitary Cross, G.V.R., unnamed as issued; British War and Victory Medals (Lieut. P. Crampton.), good very fine (3)M.C. London Gazette 16 August 1917, the original citation states:'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He commanded a raid on the enemy trenches. Previously he had done most valuable reconnaissance work, entering the enemy lines on previous occasions. The success of the raid was largely due to his fine patrol work beforehand.'Percy Crampton enlisted initially with the Inns of Court Officer Training Regiment and was Commissioned 2nd Lieutenant from that unit on 15 September 1915. Posted to the Loyal North Lancashire Regiment he was later advanced Lieutenant on 27 July 1915. The Battalion entered the war in Flanders on 8 February 1917 with the 55th Division stationed in the Cordonnerie Sector. Their first actions were largely trenches raids launched across the lines, starting in May 1917, one of these was commanded by Crampton, the Regimental History outlines this stating:'Another raid, but on a smaller scale, took place on the 24th, when two officers- Lieutenants Crampton and Marshall- and fifteen men started off. These had just reached the enemy's support line when a German patrol was heard approaching, and the raiders divided into two parties; one charged the enemy with the bayonet and a sharp fight ensued, two Germans being killed and four captured; two of these last were wearers of the Iron Cross ribbons and all looked very fit and in good condition. Of the raiding party only one- Lieutenant P. Crampton- was wounded.'This is added too by several newspaper articles, one of which entitled 'Plucky Officer Wounded on Raiding Party' states:'From an account received by Mr. Crampton of the incident which resulted in the casualty it appears that Lieutenant Crampton and another officer, accompanied by seven men, took part in a raid on the enemy's lines. In an encounter at close quarters with six of the enemy. Lieutenant Crampton was wounded in the neck and shoulder, it is thought, by revolver fire. Two of the enemy were, however, killed, and the remainder surrendered, the whole party of six thus being accounted for. The Boches' arms and equipment, which had been thrown down, were collected and the prisoners hurried down to the enemy front line, and across No Man's Land to the British lines. It is stated that two, at least, of the Boches were wearing the ribbon of the Iron Cross; one was also wearing a Red Ribbon. Lieutenant Crampton was able to reach his own lines, with assistance, and was quickly put on a stretcher and brought to a dressing station, where first aid was given him.Has done Good Work in France.In a letter to Mr. Crampton, the Commanding Officer of the Battalion writes as follows:- "Your son was wounded severely, but I hope and trust he will be all right. He was very brave over it. He has done good work in France and some weeks back, when my second in command was killed, carried another officer out of the shelled area on his back. This, I know, will be a comfort to you. You will get news when he reaches England, and I trust you will let me know how he progresses."Lieutenant Crampton is 26 years of age and was educated at the Warrington Grammer School. At the age of 21 he was articled as a solicitor, and, up to his joining the Army, was in practice with his uncle, who is a solicitor in Leigh. Yesterday Mr. Crampton was greatly relieved to hear that his son was making satisfactory progress.'Returning to Britain, Crampton's serve injuries were treated by Harold Gillies, a New Zealand born medical officer and one of the pioneering forces behind plastic surgery. After seeing skin grafting techniques in France and America Gillies opened a ward in Cambridge where he began to develop the techniques required to treat facial injuries. Here he performed what is believed to be the first modern plastic surgery on Walter Yeo, who was wounded at the Battle of Jutland.Gillies treatment of Crampton appears to have been for a wound to the jaw, a transcript of his medical record notes 'Fractured Mandible' and 'Keloid Scar Clavicle'. The results of these surgeries are unclear however Crampton certainly survived, going on to work as a solicitor for his uncle T. R. Dootson.During the Second World War he was living near Leigh and joined the Newchurch Local Defence Volunteers. A newspaper article from the time- - in a scene that could have been called straight out of Dad's Army - makes reference to him being asked to resign after an argument with the local Rector. Rather touchingly it is related that eighty members of the L.D.V. threatened to resign if Crampton was forced out of his post; sold together with copied research.…

ALFRED RUSSEL WALLACE INTEREST: DISTANT, W.L. - 'RHOPALOCERA MALAYANA': A DESCRIPTION OF THE BUTTERFLIES OF THE MALAY PENINSULA published by West, Newman & Co, London, and also D. Logan, Penang, 1882, retaining colour lithographed plates, with ink annotations throughout, believed to be that of Alfred Russel Wallace (1823-1913), the volume also annotated to front flyleaf 'L. Richmond Wheeler….Bound - Chowrata Malay School, Penang, May, 1937', later red half leather bindingProvenance: By repute, purchased from a second-hand bookshop in Southampton (UK) in 1978, along with a copy of Wallace's autobiography 'My Life' (1905) which contained an autographed letter of his (see Lot 169 in this auction). This volume has been inspected by Dr George Beccaloni, Director of the Wallace Correspondence Project. The annotations have been examined by an expert on Wallace's hand-writing who came to the conclusion that the handwriting was "probably that of Wallace.'' Wallace possibly used the book when he wrote a review of it for the journal Nature in 1882 - he was an admirer of Distant and corresponded with him on various issues.Supporting evidence of the date is found in a leaflet included in the book advertising the publication of The Butterflies of India, Burma and Ceylon (Marshall & Nicéville, Calcutta Press 1882) which is a comprehensive guide to butterfly species found in the regions of India, Burma (now Myanmar), and Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). There is also, curiously, a pressed flower inside the back cover of the Distant book, provisionally identified by Sir Ghillean Prance as a species of Poppy, which was almost certainly put there by the British educationalist, philosopher of biology and botanist Leonard Richard Wheeler (1888-1948), into whose hands the book seems to have passed after Wallace's death. We shall never know the exact circumstances, but it seems feasible that Wallace brought this volume back from Malaya and that somehow it passed to Wheeler. Wheeler seemingly took the book to Penang with him where he worked as a Schools Inspector for the British Colonial Service. He has written on the inside cover of the book "L R Wheeler 1936, Bound - Chlororasta Malay School, Penang May.1937". Wheeler returned to Britain in 1945 to avoid the advance of the Japanese forces into Penang.Note: Alfred Russel Wallace (1823-1913) was one of the leading evolutionary thinkers of the 19th century. A contemporary of Charles Darwin, he independently conceived the theory of evolution through natural selection, travelled the world collecting specimens including courageous solo trips up the Amazon and even addressed humanity's place in the universe. William Lucas Distant (1845-1922) was inspired to write a study of natural history on a whaling trip to the Malay Peninsula with his father in 1867. He was editor of the journal The Zoologist and was employed by the British Museum of Natural History between 1899 and 1920, where he worked mainly on bugs (Hemiptera). He also collected many species of insects during a four-year stay in South Africa, many of which were described in his 'Insecta Transvaaliensia' (1900-1911).
