NASSAU BLAIR BROWNE RHA (1867-1940)Richard 'Boss' Croker's Racehorses at Glencairn, Dublin - 'Orby', 'Rhoda B', 'Clonbern', 'Rhododendron', 'Alabama', 'Rhodora' and 'Battler'Oil on canvas, 101 x 168cmSigned and inscribed with horse's names belowRichard Welstead Croker Sr. (1843-1922), known as “Boss Croker,” was an Irish-American politician who was a leader of New York City’s Tammany Hall and a politican. He was born outside Clonakilty in west Cork in1843, son of Eyre Coote Croker and Frances Laura Welsted. The family emigrated to the United States in 1845. Upon arrival there, his father was without a profession, but with a general knowledge of horses he soon became a veterinary surgeon. Richard was educated in New York public schools and as a twenty year old joined one of the Volunteer Fire Departments, becom- ing an engineer of one of the engine companies. This provided him with a gateway into public life, eventually becoming a member of Tammany Hall, a Democratic Party political machine that played a major role in controlling New York City and New YorkState politics and helping immigrants, most notably the Irish, rise up in American politics from the 1790s to the 1960s. During his political career he was an alderman, Coroner of New York County, New York City Fire Commissioner and city Chamber- lain. Croker’s greatest political success was his bringing about the 1897 election of Robert A. Van Wyck as first mayor of the five-bor- ough “greater” New York. But after Croker’s failure to carry the city in the presidential election of 1900 he resigned from his posi- tion of leadership in Tammany and departed the United States for his homeland in 1905.A very wealthy man, Croker purchased the Glencairn estate in Sandyford, near Dublin from the Gresson family and it is against the backdrop of the house there that many of his prize-winning thoroughbred racehorses are depicted in the present painting by Nassau Blair Brown. In 1907, his horse Orby won Britain’s most prestigious race, The Derby. Croker was also the breeder of Orby’s son Grand Parade who won the Derby in 1919. Croker died in 1922 and is buried at Glencairn. Croker’s funeral drew some of Dub- lin’s most eminent citizens, The Times (of London) describing it as follows: FUNERAL OF MR. CROKER: - The funeral of Mr. Richard Croker took place yesterday [May 5, 1922], when the body was buried in the grounds of Glencairn House, Mr. Croker’s residence in South County, Dublin. After a Requiem Mass in the private oratory, the burial service was conducted by the Right Rev. Dr. W.J. Miller. The pall-bearers were Mr. Arthur Griffith, President of Dáil Éireann, the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Mr. A.H. Flauley, of Chicago, Mr. Oliver Gogarty, Alderman Macdonagh, and Mr. J.E. Tierney. Mr. Michael Collins, Chairman of the Provisional Government, was represented by Mr. Kevin O’Shiel. Mr. James MacMahon, British Under-Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant, was also in attendance.
VENETIAN SCHOOL (c.1700)The Doge's banquet in the new banqueting hall by the Channel of San Marco with an attendance of councillors, presidents of tribunals, magistrates, foreign ambassadors, the tables decorated with objets d'art and the sideboard piled with silver and gold chargers and dishesOil on canvas, 60 x 116cm Provenance: Earls Annesley, CastlewellanThe Doge of Venice, as part of the governance of the city, held five official banquets a year; the Feast of the Ascension; St Mark's Day; the Feast of St. Vitus; the Feast of St Jerome and St Stephen's Day on the 26th December. Senior officials and magistrates attended while foreign ambassadors eagerly sought initiations as this was the one opportunity of avoiding the ban on talking to the doge and patriciate. Each feast represented a different facet of Venetian ceremonial life, Ascension day was also the day the Doge symbolically threw a gold ring into the lagoon and participants dined afterwards. The picture on back wall depicts the Bucintoro, the ceremonial barge used in this ceremony and this perhaps is the banquet depicted. The public were allowed to view the first course and to admire the table and sideboard decorations. As the power of Venice declined these became increasingly elaborated and etiquette more and more formal. We are grateful to Peter Lauritzen for making available his unpublished treatise on 'Venetian Art & Ceremonial', for the above cataloguing. He notes that depictions of these banquets are extremely rare.

BERNARD LEACH (1887-1979) - ARCHIVE OF LETTERS, JAPAN INTEREST a wonderful collection of approx 34 letters by Bernard Leach, sent in 1934 and 1935 to Laurie Cookes (later became Bernard's 2nd wife) from Japan. The letters are dated and are written on mostly rice paper, and the vast majority are signed Bernard or with his intials. The letters discuss life in Japan at that time, and are addressed from places such as Hiroshima, Kyoto, and Tokyo (one sent from Columbo) Some of the letters include designs for pottery, one letter dated 1935 has a variety of drawings of pottery and says 'These days have simply been full of potting, yesterday and the day before 200 slip decorations each'. Other letters discuss Japan in detail and include some drawings (local scenes, map of Japan, his lunch, etc), in one letter he says 'It is a very nice Hotel where I stayed last summer, overlooking Lake Shimji and I am very comfortable, that is as far as my ageing joints allow comfort'. In another he mentions an exhibition and adds some drawings, It is a room in which there are successful combinations of Japanese architecture and materials with European usage. I have attempted many things which have not been tried before, thousands are visiting the exhibition and buying. Weaving and Spinning, wood turning and toy making, painting, lacquer lettering'. Another letter titled Impressions of Japan after 14 years by Bernard Leach, 1934, appears to be for an article he had written and asks for it's return. In another he had drawn a mountain range in Kamigawa, which is dated 1935 and signed with intials, titled A Happy New Year. This lot also includes a long letter from Michael Cardew to Bernard Leach in 1938 (on Winchcombe Pottery paper) which starts Dear Leach, a Leach Pottery Catalogue from 1954, and some photographs of Dartington Hall and Bernard Leach (Camera Study by Stuart Black, Torquay). *In 1934 Bernard was invited to Japan as a guest of the National Craft Society and went out with his friend the American Artist Mark Tobey. Bernard stayed for a year and held several exhibitions of his work, both drawings and pots in Japan and Korea. In 1935 he returned to Dartington and St Ives and later in 1944 married Laurie Cookes. This archive has been passed to Maurice Leach, the adopted son of Bernard and Laurie who originally was an infant evacuee during the War.

SVETOSLAV NIKOLAEVICH ROERICH (RUSSIAN-INDIAN 1904-1993) Portrait of the Artist's Wife, the actress Devika Rani, sold along with a dedicated gift to Roerich from the Altai-Himalayas Conference each oil on board 30.5 x 40.6 cm (12 x 16 in.); the companion 20.3 x 27.9 cm (8 x 11 in.) comprising: a) a portait of the artist's wife Devika Rani (recto) and study of a woman (verso), and b) a landscape of the Himalays by an unknown artist. The second painting features a dedication to Svetoslav Roerich and his wife from the Yoga followers in Russian: Dear Svetoslav Nikolaevich! Participants of the International scientific and public conference "Altai-Himalayas-91", dedicated to the spiritual heritage of E.P.Blavatskaya, with the help of this work express their veneration of the contribution of the Roerichs' family to the spiritual rebirth of humanity and wish you and your wife Devika Rani-Roerich light and joy!LOT NOTES Svetoslav Roerich, son and chief collaborator of Nikolai Roerich, was a Russian-born painter, architect, illustrator and designer. Roerich’s peripatetic youth, from Russia to Finland to Great Britain to the United States, eventually led him to India, where he moved in 1931 and where he would go on to spend the rest of his life. Per his wishes, he was buried in Bangalore, at the 25-acre "Tataguni" estate he owned with his wife - soon to be remodeled into a museum of Roerich’s work. While Roerich began painting at a young age, it is his later portraits - including those of Nehru and Indira Gandhi at the historic Central Parliament Hall in New Delhi, his father and his wife Devika Rani, depicted here - that constitute the best-known part of his oeuvre.Film producer and actress (once student of Marlene Dietrich) Devika Rani, whose performances in some of the most popular films of the Indian Golden Age of Cinema earned her the title of “The First Lady of the Indian Screen,” married Roerich in 1945. Devika Rani sat for multiple large-scale paintings and countless drawings, some of the most sensitive portraits Roerich produced. Shown in profile, her chin upturned, her gaze undisturbed, Devika Rani imparts an air of composed sophistication. Her elegantly coiffed curled hair, softly highlighted skin, set against a background of mauve pink, as opposed to the majority of her portraits by Roerich, is less fraught with detail and decidedly more modernistic. Roerich outlines her silhouette with a single undulating stroke, parallelling her posture with three teal-colored forms at the lower left.The present portrait is accompanied by a mountainscape, dedicated to Roerich by members of the Altai-Himalayas Conference, whose name references Nikolai Roerich’s eponymous diaries. Like his father and mother, Svetoslav Roerich was deeply dedicated to the statues of the Treaty on the Protection of Artistic and Scientific Institutions and Historic Monuments, better known as the Roerich Pact, which, through his efforts, was signed by the Indian government in 1948. Besides an emphasis on the support of arts and sciences, the Roerichs were deeply influenced by the esoteric teachings of Theosopher Helena Blavatsky, referenced in the dedication. Throughout his life in India, Roerich actively lobbied for conservation efforts for ancient Indian art and monuments, and was, along with his parents, an inspiration to groups like those that organized the Conference.

REIDAR AULIE (NORGE/NORWEGIAN 1904 - 1977), ON THE HEATH oil on canvas, signed and dated 1971 63cm x 51cm Framed Label verso: John Whibley Gallery Ltd, 22 Cork Street, London; showing the title and the purchaser as Mr Angus Ogilvy. Sir Angus Ogilvy (as he later became) was a noble born British businessman (Lonrho) and he married Princess Alexandra (cousin of HM The Queen) on 24th April 1963 at Westminster Abbey. The wedding ceremony was attended by the royal family and was broadcast worldwide on television, watched by an estimated 200 million people. The Queen had offered Ogilvy an Earldom on his wedding, which he declined. He also declined a grace-and-favour apartment at one of the Royal Palaces. Instead, he leased Thatched House Lodge, in Richmond, London from the Crown Estate for him and Princess Alexandra to live. Ogilvy was created a Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order on 31st December 1988 by Queen Elizabeth II and was made Privy Counsellor in the 1997 New Year Honours. He died on 26th December 2004. The artist: Reidar Aulie graduated in 1927 and travelled to in the autumn with fellow student, Bjarne Ness, who died of tuberculosis just before Christmas that year, only 25 years old. His death made a strong impression on the younger Aulie who had shared lodgings with Ness. Aulie debuted at the Autumn Exhibition ( Høstutstillingen ) in 1927. By the early 1930s he had already illustrated books by such authors as Ingeborg Refling Hagen and Martin Anderson Nexo. Aulie's paintings are full of symbolism and there is often room for several interpretations. He was always concerned with the common man and portrayed him with great enthusiasm. In the 1930s he became an artist for the Socialist movement. In 1932 he participated in the Anti-War Conference in Amsterdam and the same year and was elected chairman of the Anti-War Committee in and the surrounding area. In 1936 Aulie bought a house and studio on Maridalsveien Street in Oslo, which he kept for the rest of his life. Reidar Aulie is best known for the anti war art he produced during the Second World War but despite moving to a small farm owned by his in-laws in Eidsberg, Aulie was eventually arrested by the Germans in early 1945 and sent to Grini Concentration Camp. In 1950 he was commissioned to paint Arbeiderbevegelsens historie , a large fresco of the labour movement's history, for Oslo City Hall. His last two decades were marked by the teaching duties, first as Professor from 1958 and later as Rector from 1965 at the Norwegian National Academy of Fine Arts. In 1964, he received the Prince Eugen Medal, a Swedish medal awarded by the King of Sweden for outstanding artistic work.

As they perform in Mr. Pinkeman's New Opera in Bartholomew Fair, satirical broadside poem with engraving and two columns of letterpress text, on laid paper without watermark, sheet 332 x 219 mm.

Beware of the Wretched Halpenny Wooden Cuts', [1707]. Literature:Foxon F29⁂ ESTC records only one copy in the Newberry Library, Chicago, Illinois. William Pinkethman's dogs, dressed as Frenchified fops or commedia dell'arte characters, illustrate the present broadside satire, which 'warns of the cultural consequences of condescending to the public's lust for "Novelty"', yet at the same time acknowledging the inevitable financial success of such a venture; John Downes wrote that Pinkethman "gain'd more in Theatres and Fairs in Twelve Years, than those that have Tugg'd at the Oar of Acting these 50."
