Stanley Royle RBA ARWA (1888-1961) IN THE POTATO FIELDS, ECCLESFIELD, EARLY EVENING, 1913 watercolour and gouache signed and dated lower right 18 x 27¾in. (45.72 x 70.49cm) In 1893 Stanley Royle's family moved from Stalybridge, Cheshire to Ecclesfield, a rural outlying district of Sheffield in South Yorkshire where his father became the stationmaster at Ecclesfield railway station. Royle's elder cousin, Herbert - already a highly successful landscape painter - encouraged him to pursue a career in painting. He gained a scholarship to the Sheffield Technical School of Art in 1908 and began exhibiting professionally three years later. Three of his paintings were accepted by the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in 1913 - the year the present work was painted - and a prestigious commission from Frederick Horner, a local art dealer, to paint four large views in oils of Sheffield, followed in 1922. Royle and his family emigrated to Canada in the 1930s. There he taught at the Nova Scotia School of Art and later at the Mount Allison University in New Brunswick. In 1936 he was made an Associate Member of the Royal Canadian Academy, and the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia hold one of the largest public collections of his work. He returned to Britain in 1945 and continued to exhibit at the Royal Academy and was elected president of the Sheffield Society of Artists in 1950. The Paris Salon awarded him the Silver Medal in 1951 and the Gold Medal in 1955. During this decade Royle visited Ireland, Scotland, Cornwall and Brittany.Perhaps the best-known example of Royle's work in Ireland is the controversial The Goose Girl, c.1924 in the National Collection, Dublin which had originally been attributed to Irish artist William Leech.

Arthur Armstrong RHA (1924-1996) LANDSCAPE WITH OLD BUILDINGS oil on board signed lower centre; titled on reverse 28¾ x 38½in. (73.03 x 97.79cm) Arthur Armstrong (1924–1996) was a painter from Carrickfergus, County Antrim, Northern Ireland, who often worked in a Cubist style and produced landscape and still-life works. He studied architecture at Queen's University Belfast, but after two years he moved to study art at Belfast College of Art.[ The influence of Cubism and the School of Paris can be clearly seen in his work, which took him to England, France and Spain. He also travelled and painted in the West of Ireland and Connemara inspired some of his best work. In 1950 he exhibited in the Grafton Gallery in Dublin, and subsequent exhibitions took place in England, Spain and the United States, as well as in Belfast and Dublin. In 1957 he was awarded a travelling scholarship from the Council for the Encouragement of Music and the Arts (CEMA, a forerunner of the Arts Council of Great Britain) and went to Spain. He eventually settled in Dublin in 1962 and began showing work at the Royal Hibernian Academy. In 1968 he was awarded the Douglas Hyde Gold Medal at the Oireachtas Exhibition. In 1969 he designed sets (with his close friends George Campbell and Gerard Dillon) for the Seán O'Casey play, Juno and the Paycock, at the Abbey Theatre in Dublin.. He became a member of the Royal Hibernian Academy in 1972 and in 1973 he was awarded the Art in Context prize from the Arts Council of Northern Ireland. He became a member of Aosdána in 1981,[the same year that a retrospective exhibition of his work from 1950 to 1980 was held by the Arts Council of Northern Ireland.

This large collection of shooting medals were won by Brian Moore of California, along with the following lots 319 - 398, and were all part of his collection, which spanned 60 years. His working experience includes time spend Lockheed working on missile projects, IBM working with moon exploration as commissioned by President John F. Kennedy, and worked at Stanford and University of California in their labs. He was integral to the Moon program and worked with General Curtis Lamay and Buzz Aldrin. He invented, designed, worked on, produced, and solved many of the issues during the early days of U.S. space exploration. He also is credited with inventing and designing the first submarine with umbilical system for underwater launches of missiles in Cape Canaveral. His ability as a marksman, as evidenced by the numerous metals in this collection, was well known. He was a lifetime master in both pistol and high powered rifle. Much of his spare time throughout a span of 50 years was spent at the Napa Rifle Range, but he traveled as far as Japan as the Naval Air Station. The last time he fired a match using iron sights at 1,000 yards was in Hollister, California using his National Match M1 Springfield. He started competing in 1939 and continued for 45 years. It is also very apparent that Brian had a life long love affair with all things mechanical and his passion for the shooting sports was unparalleled. This large collection of shooting medals is encompassed in two period framed collections consisting of 42 medals in each display. It would be extremely tedious to list each and every medal. Most are for revolver and pistol. The dating of the medals in Frame (A) are 1946 to 1960; the majority of the matches were shot in Oakland with some scattered NRA and National Match medals. They are all in excellent shape with ribbons. Frame (B) medals are dated 1946 to 1948 and are also in excellent condition with ribbons. Green background has some fading. It is obvious some medals have some sterling silver and are tarnished. We do not know if any are real gold. Many have the enamel decorations.

There are several articles pertaining to Sheriff Carroll and a period picture of his weapon collection of which this very gun appears to be dead center. Carroll was elected sheriff in 1920 and also served as US Marshall in the 1940’s. Several notable kidnap and bank robbery cases rocketed Carroll into law enforcement spotlight. He won the Law Enforcement Medal of Achievement in 1945. The 1934 book entitled “The Valley of Grim Men” was dedicated to Carroll. Carroll was also featured in at least 100 detective and crime magazine articles. He played a key role in solving the kidnapping case of Claude K.
