Regency portrait miniature on ivory of Lieutenant Samuel Costerton, R.N., pictured in formal dress, oval, 5.5 x 5cm, in period ebonised frame. APHA Ref: 73H6SZXKProvenance: By family descent from the sitter.NB: Samuel Costerton was born in Great Yarmouth and entered the Navy in 1803, following the path of his cousin Captain William Fisher, one of Nelson's flagship Commanders. Captain William Fisher (1780-1852) joined the Navy in 1795. In 1827, he invented and demonstrated the use of quick connect hose for watering ships (at the rate of 1 ton in 4 mins). He retired as a Rear Admiral. Samuel Costerton was also active during the Napoleonic conflicts, he was wounded whilst in charge of a boat attacking enemy batteries at Jacotel and was onboard the Nereid when she compelled the enemy's sloop Victor to surrender. He acquitted himself gallantly but was captured during battles in Port Sud-Est in 1810, he was freed during the capitulation of the Isle of France several months later. In 1815 he married Mary Anne Elizabeth Underwood of East Bergholt. Please note although by family tradition the subject is as described, the sitter is clearly not a naval subject and the paper attributing the sitter as Samuel Costerton is likely not accurate.

A rare late 18th century silver Davison’s Nile Medal, awarded to Lt William Stewart esq (c.1775-1814) and other associated rare original period documents and portraits to include: The Davison Nile Medal, minted in silver, the grade used for officers below the rank of Captain, the medal is glazed to both sides, and enclosed in a circlet of gold, onto which there is a suspension ring affixed, around the circumference is the usual motto ‘FROM ALEXR, ESQR. ST JAMES’ SQUARE A TRIBUTE OF REGARD. According to contemporary documents, only 150 silver versions of this medal were ordered from the manufacturer, Matthew Boulton, but 154 were actually supplied in 1799. Also:  William Stewart’s original Captain’s commission document, dated 1812, which gives him command of HMS Stately. Lt William Stewart’s journal, documenting the 1806 Court Martial of Captain John Oakes Hardy, which discuss the charges (alleged by Lieutenant William Stewart, who was Hardy’s Second Lieutenant) of drunkenness, tyranny, and oppression. A period miniature portrait of Captain Stewart, likely painted circa 1812, in commemoration of his command of Stately (which may be seen over his shoulder), plus another similar portrait of William’s father, The Reverend Thomas Stewart (1739-1803). There are also original early 19th century accounts of Captain Stewarts deceased estate, and a hand written settlement relating to his marriage to Caroline Witty Clubley. Notes: William Stewart was born circa 1775/76, in Donegal, Ireland, son of Rev. Thomas Stewart of Templecrone, Co Donegal and Elizabeth Stewart (nee Spence).   He joined the Royal Navy in March 1791 as an Able Seaman on HMS Argo, William served on numerous ships, through the 1790’s, such as Drake, Duke, Scorpion, Vesuvius, Theseus, and apparently on Victory in 1797.  He rose through the ranks, becoming a Masters Mate, Midshipman, and in late March 1797, he took his Lieutenants exam.  He received his Lieutenants commission in May 1797, and was posted to HMS Alexander.  He took part in the Battle of the Nile, with his rank being a 5th Lieutenant, and was invalided to England on the recommendation of the Ships Surgeon. A letter dated September 26th 1798, from a Captain Ball to Lord Nelson, requested the Lt Stewart be given a leave of absence, rather than be invalided, in order that he could return to service to HMS Alexander when he was sufficiently fit and well. William took command of HMS Experiment from August 1805-December 1805, and later HMS Spider up until February 1806. During 1806 Lt Stewart applied for a Court Martial against Captain John Oakes Hardy, the transcript of which is written in William’s journal. Captain Hardy was tried on charges of drunkenness, tyranny, and oppression, with the first charge being upheld by the court. The guilt verdict inevitably led to Captain Hardy’s dismissal from the Royal Navy, but he was reinstated to Post Rank in June 1807. Lt Stewart received his commission as Captain of HMS Stately in July 1812, while the ship was anchored of the coast of Cadiz. William saw further action while serving as Flag Captain on HMS San Josef off the coast of Toulon in 1813 and 1814, and later died while aboard the same vessel in July 1814 (of natural causes). Condition: some wear to all the items commensurate with age and use. The glazed medal has a fracture to the glass on one side, but the medal enclosed within appears to be very good on both sides. The gold mount is also in good condition. The Court Martial journal is in good order, with the pages being most legible. Both portraits are unsecured in their frames, and need to be tacked into place on the reverse, both the image areas are nevertheless in good condition. The other items of paper ephemera show normal levels of browning and foxing in relation to their age.
