A portrait miniature on ivory The Duke of Wellington, oval in ebonised frame with acorn hanger, miniature dimensions 75 mm x 60 mm.

Three portrait miniatures, "Peggy Neale" 1797 and two others, each with ebonised frame and acorn hanger. CONDITION REPORT: Lady in red dress with blue shawl - we have not removed the miniature from the frame as it is sealed at the back with brown paper. We have looked at the image under a x10 loupe. There appears to be a hairline crack running from the left hand side of the hair bun down through the black band across the inner edge of the ear down through the shoulder to the bodice. This is not visible to the naked eye. The paint condition seems generally very good. There is a small possible loss to the top right hand drape over the pillar and another small discoloured area to the left of the mouth in the brown background. The ivory does not appear bowed. There are some minor surface scratches down the left hand side of the image, again only visible with a loupe. The acorn hanger is a little loose but in good order. The gilding to the brass oval is rubbed. There are numerous stress fractures to the ebonised frame and there are small losses to the extremities. We can see no evidence of any repair or restoration.

A rectangular portrait miniature of a gentleman in a frock coat. 10.5 cm x 8 cm in brass frame (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: The brown mark to the upper right of the edge is a curtain framing a window. The frame looks to be early 20th century. It is difficult to age the miniature. It looks earlier than the frame and we would have thought circa 1860-80, although the costume does look a little earlier.

London Gazette 19 April 1945: ‘In recognition of gallant and distinguished services in Italy.’ The original Recommendation states: ‘On the 8th July 1944 Lieut. King was a Forward Observation Officer supporting the attack on Filottrano by the 5th Polish Infantry Brigade and Italian Forces. In accordance with his orders, he proceeded along the road leading to Filottrano, which was under heavy mortar and shell fire. His vehicle was damaged and immobilised by mortar bombs, but he continued to advance towards the village on foot, with a No. 38 Wireless Set. The situation at the time was very obscure, but he managed to gain contact with the Italian Commander in the village, part of which was held by enemy infantry and AFVs. During this period Lieut. King was under continuous shell and mortar fire, but he carried on with his duty with remarkable coolness and courage and passed back valuable information and useful hostile shelling reports. On the 7th August 1944 Lieut. King was performing the duties of G.P.O. at his Troop position, when a direct hit was sustained on one of the gun pits, killing three men and seriously wounding two others, at the same time setting alight the charges in the gun pit. Lieut. King immediately went to the scene and assisted by one other rank carried the two wounded men to safety, at considerable danger to himself from blazing charges and the possibility of exploding shells.’ David James Cathcart King was born in 1913, and was educated at the University of Bristol. He served during the Second War as a Lieutenant with the 26th Medium Regiment, Royal Artillery. After the war King taught History at Walton Lodge Preparatory School, Bristol. He was an authority on Castles, and his papers are held in the University of Bristol Special Collections. In later life he resided in Clevedon, and he died in September 1989.
