A Royal Worcester model of HRH Princess Elizabeth riding 'Tommy', circa 1950 Modelled by Doris Lindner, the Princess wearing the uniform of Colonel-in-Chief of the Grenadier Guards, mounted side-saddle, her reins and baton gathered in one hand, on an ebonised wooden plinth, 31.5cm high excluding plinth, printed marks in gold, modeller's name and title, edition number partially erased (2) Footnotes: Produced as a Limited Edition of just 100 models, numbers 1 and 2 were presented to the then Princess Elizabeth and her mother, Queen Elizabeth. The young Princess had captured the nation's heart when she stood in for her father at the Trooping of the Colour in honour of the King's birthday on 12 June 1947. This became the most sought after of the equestrian figures produced by Royal Worcester, particularly so as post-war restrictions at the time meant rich ornamental pieces could only be sold for export and most were shipped to Commonwealth countries. The complete process of manufacturing was recorded in a film made in 1950. 'The Doctor Ordered Clay' showed Doris Linder creating the original model, Bob Bradley cutting the sculpture into pieces for mould-making, and Harry Davis painting the Princess's face and uniform. Harry recalled his anxiety when he visited Buckingham Palace to study the colouring of her hair and uniform, and how the young princess chatted with him and put him at ease. The following year, when the Princess visited Royal Worcester to open the new museum, she particularly asked to meet Harry Davis again and asked him to conduct her around the factory. She watched Bob Bradley assemble one of the figures from multiple moulded parts and hoped that he would be able to put her back together again in the right order. Not long afterwards, in 1952, Harry Davis was awarded the British Empire Medal for his services to China Painting. A similar model was sold by Bonhams on 10 June 2003, lot 269, together with an original plaster maquette for the model, lot 276. For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Holmes, Arthur, A Signed Copy of An Offprint, Titled 'The Age and Composition of the Whin Sill and related dikes of the north of England', by Arthur Holmes, D.Sc., A.R.C.S., F.G.S. professor of Geology, the University, Durham, and H. F. Harwood, M.Sc, PH.D., A.I.C. Lecturer in Chemistry, Imperial College, London, reprinted from the Mineralogical Magazine 1928 VolXXI No.122 pp. 493-542, signed in pen to the top 'S Tomkeiff, with Compliments from Arthur Holmes, Arthur Holmes (14 January 1890 – 20 September 1965) was an English geologist who made significant contributions to the field of geochronology and the understanding of continental drift. Born on January 14, 1890, in Gateshead, England, Holmes was the son of a mechanical engineer. He graduated with a degree in physics from the University of London in 1910 and then studied geology at the Imperial College of Science and Technology. Holmes is widely regarded as the pioneer of geochronology, which is the study of the age of rocks, minerals, and other geological features. In 1913, he published his first paper on radiometric dating, in which he proposed the use of isotopic dating methods to determine the age of rocks. This was a groundbreaking idea at the time, and it laid the foundation for the development of modern geochronology. In 1911, Holmes began working on his doctoral thesis, which focused on the age of the Earth. He spent several years researching and analyzing the geological evidence, including the rate of radioactive decay, the distribution of elements in the Earth's crust, and the formation of the continents. In 1913, he published his findings in a book titled "The Age of the Earth," which became a landmark publication in the field of geology. In "The Age of the Earth," Holmes argued that the Earth was much older than previously believed, with an estimated age of 4.6 billion years. He also proposed a model for the formation of the continents, which he called "continental drift." According to this model, the continents were once joined together in a single supercontinent called Pangaea, which then broke apart and drifted to their current positions. Holmes' ideas on continental drift were not widely accepted at the time, and it was not until the 1960s that they were finally confirmed by the discovery of plate tectonics. Nevertheless, his work on the age of the Earth and geochronology had a significant impact on the field of geology, and he is still considered one of its most important pioneers. In addition to his work on geochronology and continental drift, Holmes also made contributions to other areas of geology, including the study of volcanoes and the structure of the Earth's mantle. He was awarded numerous honors and awards for his work, including the Wollaston Medal from the Geological Society of London in 1943. Arthur Holmes died on September 20, 1965, at the age of 75. His legacy as a pioneer of geochronology and a visionary geologist continues to inspire and influence geologists and scientists around the world.
