Registration - A423 MDYChassis - C66500M.O.T. - June 2024Odometer - 55,400 This eye-catching Morgan is accompanied by a substantial history file of invoices and photographs documenting the extensive body-off restoration to which it was treated in 2019/2020. The 1597cc, four-cylinder Ford CVH engine was completely stripped and rebored; the cylinder head skimmed; the crankshaft overhauled with new bearings; the timing belt, water pump and oil pump replaced; the carburettor overhauled, and a Piper fast road camshaft and new pistons rings, alternator and coil installed. The Ford Type 9 manual five-speed gearbox with long 1st gear was overhauled by specialists Leek Transmission, and a new brake master cylinder, pipes and calipers fitted, along with uprated dampers and springs and a new wiring loom. The body received new door posts and a fresh pair of steel front wings prior to undergoing a full professional bare-metal respray in British Racing Green. To complete the picture, the interior was retrimmed in green-piped cream leather. In total, more than £10,000 was spent on bringing the car up to ‘excellent’ condition throughout, while the wood of dashboard, Moto-Lita steering wheel and gear-knob help retain the period feel that typifies the 4/4. The odometer presently indicates a credible though unwarranted total mileage of 55,397, while MOT records confirm that this very tidy Morgan has covered fewer than 1,000 miles since 2007. Launched in 1936, the 4/4 was the first four-wheeled vehicle Morgan produced, with the 4/4 name indicating four wheels and four cylinders. Production was halted briefly during WWII and from March 1951 to September 1955, other than that it ran continuously until 2018, making the model the world’s longest-running production vehicle. This nimble sports car originally featured a 1122cc Coventry Climax engine, while the Series II 4/4 introduced in 1955 featured a Morgan Plus 4 chassis and 1172cc side-valve engine. Various incarnations followed, leading to the launch of the 4/4 1600 in 1968, to which the 1597cc Ford CVH engine was fitted from March 1982 to November 1991, during which time 1,652 4/4s like the one now offered were built. In summary:A handsome example of the quintessential British sports carThe subject of a well-documented restoration in 2019/2020Subtly modified with fast road camshaft and uprated suspension

Maria Sophia Abercromby was the third daughter of Sir George Abercromby, 4th Baronet of Birkenbog in Fyfe and his wife, Jane Ogilvy, the eldest daughter of Alexander, 7th Lord Banff. In 1810 she married the Hon. David Monypenny (born 1769). He became Solicitor-General on 22 February 1811, was admitted a Lord of Session on 25 February 1813, when he took the title of Lord Pitmilly, and also became a Lord of Justiciary.Provenance: Of particular interest is the 20th Century provenance of the present work, which was purchased in 1917 by Edward Townsend Stotesbury for Whitemarsh Hall in Philadelphia, where it hung in the drawing room.

Arthur John Elsley (British, 1860-1952)Won't You Try? signed and dated 'ArthurJ.Elsley/1905' (lower left)oil on canvas 66 x 91.4cm (26 x 36in).Footnotes:ProvenanceWith W. W. Sampson, London. Private collection, Ireland. ExhibitedLondon, Royal Academy, 1905, no. 524.LiteratureTerry Parker, Golden Hours: The Paintings of Arthur J. Elsley, Yeovil, 1998, p. 99, illustrated.Arthur John Elsley was born on 20 November 1860. The son of a coachman and sometime artist, Elsley joined the South Kensington School of Art at the age of fourteen and first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1878, two years after being a probationer. Elsley's interest in painting animals had been heightened by regular visits as a boy to the Zoological Gardens in Regent's Park. His ability to paint animals, and in particular domestic breeds such as dogs and ponies, meant that his sentimental depiction of late Victorian and Edwardian genre scenes found a ready market amongst collectors.In 1894 the death of Charles Burton Barber, who had been considered the pre-eminent painter of animals and children, left this particular field open for Elsley. He was able to exploit the contemporary taste and although a bout of childhood measles had partially affected his eyesight, he was the undoubted master of this genre by the dawn of the new century. Well regarded amongst his peers, his reputation was enhanced by having shared a studio with the artist Fred Morgan in the mid to late 1890's. After the two artists fell out, Elsley continued to work in his studio on increasingly larger canvases depicting children and animals at play. His daughter Marjorie became one of his favourite models and he drew inspiration from the open countryside which he regularly visited on his bicycle. His popularity grew as many of his paintings were reproduced as prints and calendars. In addition some of his images were used by companies such as Bibby's Animal Feeds and Peak Frean Biscuits to promote their products.The outbreak of the First World War and the immediate post war years resulted in an understandable change in taste as the country tried to come to terms with the horror of the trenches and the loss of a generation and Elsley's sentimental compositions appeared somewhat anachronistic to a war embittered British public.Elsley continued to paint, mainly for pleasure, exhibiting a number of works at the Royal Academy until 1927. Increasingly poor eyesight meant that by 1931 he had ceased to paint almost entirely and spent most of his time gardening. He died in Tunbridge Wells in 1952 at the age of 91.Painted in 1905 and one of three works he exhibited at The Royal Academy the same year, Won't you try? is a quintessential work, featuring many of the elements that came to define Elsley's art. Like many of his paintings, the present lot was reproduced in various formats, in this instance as a photogravure, under the title A Passive Register (1906, Weldon's Bazaar of Children's Fashions), and by The Rotary Photo Co., as a black-and-white postcard, under the title Come Along, circa 1909.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Alice Mary Havers (British, 1850-1890)Contemplation signed 'A Havers' (lower left)oil on canvas127 x 81.3cm (50 x 32in).Footnotes:ProvenanceWith Thos. Agnew & Sons, Manchester.With Pyms Gallery, London.Private collection, UK (acquired from the above).When Alice Havers died of an accidental morphia overdose in 1890, aged only forty years old, more was made of this abrupt, tragic end, linked to her status as a divorced woman than of her art. In her resultant obituaries, journalistic opinion swayed between describing her manner of dress, her mental health, only turning occasionally to the popularity of her art. Despite the seemingly gentle and traditional scope of her art, the life and career of Alice Havers, also known as Mrs Frederick Morgan, resonates with the fate of modern, creative women today.Alice Mary Celestine Havers was born on 19th May 1850. The Havers family lived at Thelton Hall in Norfolk, their ancestral home, built in the 16th century. Alice's father, Thomas Havers (1810-1870), relocated his family to the Falkland Islands in 1854, taking work as manager of the Falkland Island Company, then moving his family to Uruguay. Thomas Havers apparently had artistic aspirations himself, planning a series of pieces based on the flora and fauna of the islands and it is assumed he encouraged his daughter's talent.1 For source material far from home, Alice copied pictures from the Illustrated London News and the Graphic as her way of developing her artistic skills (Atlanta, Volume 4, 1890).After Thomas Havers' death in 1870, Alice returned to England with her siblings. She enrolled at the South Kensington Art School where her work earned her a free scholarship. She married fellow artist Frederick Morgan in April 1872 yet maintained her maiden name professionally. The couple had three children, including artist Valentine Havers (1873-1912), who tellingly used his mother's name professionally. Despite the pressures of motherhood, Alice continued to work and exhibit to some modest acclaim, including Ought and Carry One (1874), a profile of a schoolgirl working on a sum, which was bought from the Royal Academy by Queen Victoria. Coupled with this, Alice illustrated books, including the romantic novels of her sister Dorothy Boulger (1846-1923), becoming known for her spirited and expressive illustrations. The Gentlewoman magazine in September 1890 commented on Alice's work as being 'graceful, delicate, almost ethereal...She never painted anything large or very ambitious in design or colouring...it was [beauty] proceeding from purity of soul, and the outward expression of the artistic thoughts and ideas treasured up in her heart'.2 Her output bustled with images of idyllic, industrious female rural lives; groups of picturesque peasant girls washing clothes, gathering flowers or just pausing in woodland or by streams. Such public-pleasing images became coloured plates, sold for domestic display and securing her reputation as a popular, accessible artist, not to mention providing an income to her household that would have easily rivalled, if not exceeded, that of her husband. Throughout these years, Alice was contending with an abusive homelife. Frederick Morgan had conducted affairs from the year after Valentine was born until Alice filed for divorce in 1889. The marriage was violent; her sister Dorothy once took the place of her sister at a dinner party after Alice was too badly beaten to attend. It is possibly unsurprising therefore that alongside the pastoral idylls, Alice occasionally exhibited more poignant, darker paintings such as End of her Journey (1875), depicting a woman dying by the roadside, and Trouble (1885), showing a mother holding her cadaverous child la pietà, while stoically instructing her other children, within a dingy room with the grey-washed city visible through the slanting windows. When Trouble was exhibited with the Society of Lady Artists, it was praised in the way Alice 'treats the domestic sorrows of humble life with touching tenderness of sentiment.' The common thread through these works is the condition of female existence in a perfect world, sometimes in harmony, sometimes at odds.The present painting hangs between the idyllic and the pensive. A beautiful peasant girl carrying a bundle pauses by a stream in a woodland. Beyond the screen of trees lies a sunlit meadow but she pauses, hand on hair, gazing down at a patch of foxgloves. The familiar elements of Havers art are present – the setting, the character, the eternal summer – but the girl's pondering of the flowers brings interpretations to the work. In Thomas Miller's 1840 book on the language of flowers, The Romance of Nature, he gives the meaning of foxgloves as 'I am not changed, they wrong me', an expansion on the traditional meaning of 'insincerity'. Arguably a narrative of Havers own marriage, the weary, thoughtful expression and dark, atmospheric woodland speaks of choices and disappointments, raising questions of where the girl is headed or what she is leaving behind.Alice's arrival in London in 1870 coincided with that of Paul Durand-Ruel (1831-1922), famed Parisian art dealer, who sought exile from the Franco-Prussian war. With the establishment of his London gallery in New Bond Street and its annual exhibitions, the shock of Impressionism was finally released on the London masses. Art students including George Clausen (1852-1944) flocked to see Impressionism and its treatment of the rural poor as a legitimate subject. This drive gained further momentum with the publication of Alfred Sensier's 1881 book Jean-François Millet, Peasant and Painter together with others including the Fine Art Society's Twenty Etchings and Woodcuts of Millet's work on the noble, rural poor. This influence was reflected in a review of Alice's illustrations for William Morris's 1889 book of poems, where the Birmingham Mail referred to her as 'one of the foremost English lady exponents of the French school'.3 Alice's transition from rural idyll to rustic narrative reflects the general movement in Britain which resulted in the art of Henry Herbert La Thangue (1859-1929), the Newlyn School and the novels of Thomas Hardy. The girl who considers the foxgloves in Alice Haver's painting is a proto-Tess of the D'Urbervilles or Bathsheba Everdene, considering her life choices that are ever-dependent on their socio-economic status in natural surroundings that offer both light and plenty and dark and danger.After a very public and damaging divorce in 1889-90, Alice and her children moved back to London, to St John's Wood where she rented a house with a studio, but the new life was not to last long. She had been suffering from neuralgia and medicating with morphia, injected straight into her forehead, spending her nights on the couch in her studio. On the morning of 25th August 1890, the maid found her insensible from an overdose, with the needle still clenched in her hand. On the table was a letter to her doctor, describing her symptoms as unbearable and requesting another course of treatment.
