FRANCESCO LOJACONO (1838-1915) MONTE PELLEGRINO, BAY OF PALERMO, SICILY Signed, oil on canvas 48.5 x 75.5cm. * Lojacono was born in Palermo, Sicily and studied under his father, the history painter Luigi Lojacono (1810-1880). Early acclaim allowed the young Lojacono to move to Naples in 1856, where he was taught by Filippo Palizzi (1818-1899). Following imprisonment during the Revolution, he settled near Palermo and he developed a style remarkable for its clarity of light and the crisp neatness of its technique. He was appointed Professor at the Naples Institute of Fine Arts in 1872 and taught at the Palermo Academy of Fine Arts from 1896 to 1914. Lojacono exhibited in Austria and France and showed his work with great success in Palermo, including at a major exhibition there in 1891-1892. He was awarded Commendatore of the Order of the Crown of Italy and, alongside Michele Catti (1855-1914) and Antonio Leto (1844-1913), the three artists constitute a noble group of Sicilian landscape artists of the Belle Époque. The subject of Monte Pellegrino has a special significance for the people of Palermo. Wolfgang Goethe called it "the most beautiful promontory in the world"; the numerous prehistoric caves speak of its historical importance as an ancient settlement; and the sanctuary of St Rosalia, patron saint of Palermo, is located there. From its 606m summit, the whole city of Palermo can be seen. Provenance: Hugo Schwab (c.1898-1974), an Austrian art collector (notably of Old Master drawings) who established himself after the War in Britain as a businessman involved in the development of metal coat hangers. Schwab was a regular bidder at Sothebys from the 1960's until his death and it is likely that he purchased this lot at that time. This is possibly the lot (63), bought at Sothebys on February 28th 1973, described as `On the Neapolitan Coast` (£1000). It has passed by descent to the vendor.

•PHILIP JACKSON (b.1942) ON THE RIVER AXE, AXMINSTER; STRATTON FROM THE RIVER STRAT Two, each signed with the artist's monogram and dated 79 and 78, oil on canvas Each 49 x 75cm approx. (2) This collection of works by Philip Jackson reflects the artist's love of the Somerset Levels and his instinctive feel for the beauty of landscape in Somerset and elsewhere. Jackson, from an RAF and farming background, began his career as a dealer and restorer in Old Master paintings. He took up painting in 1978 and started exhibiting his work in 1980, showing at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition for the first time in 1982. He is equally versatile in oil and pastel and his self-published book Waterways and Wetlands shows over 300 of his pictures. Having established his career at Somerton, the Cornish-born artist now lives and works in North Cornwall. ++ Good condition

School of Antonio Canova (1757-1822): A White Marble Bust of Napoleon as Mars Pacificus, numbered 162 to reverse, 74cm high, on a cylindrical marble column with collar to base and square plinth, 132cm high See illustration The present bust is derived from the colossal marble statue of Napoleon as Mars Pacificus currently in Apsley House, London, which was rejected by Napoleon because of the statue's nudity. Canova then produced a bust derived from the full-length original which is now in Chatsworth House, Derbyshire. Subsequently, Canova's Roman studio produced marble versions of the bust and Napoleon's sister Elisa Boneparte Baciocchi, the Duchess of Lucca, established a workshop at the quarries in Carrara that specialised in the reproduction of Imperial marble portraits by sculptors such as Lorenzo Bartolini, Antoine Denis Chaudet and Baron François Bosto. It is recorded that between 1808 and 1814 forty-two Carrara workshop marbles of Canova's bust of Napoleon in colossal and life-size scale were received for sale in Paris and it is possible that the present lot is one of these examples. For an example by Lorenzo Bartolini, signed with initials, see Sotheby's Old Master Sculpture and Works of Art, London, 9.7.15, lot 184. Another anonymous example is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, accession no.2015.489

The Royal photographic collection of Colonel Vassa Voynovich otherwise known as 'John Scott'.A remarkable archive of photographs from the most respected Royal photographer of the 20th century. Note: This lot was withdrawn from a previous sale and please be aware it is being sold with an on going copyright dispute despite having a sworn assignment of copyright from the vendor. We therefore offer no guarantee as to the purchaser's entitlement.Over 4000 colour transparencies dating from 1949 up to the early 1980s.Voynovich came to England in the 1940s after escaping occupied Yugoslavia. Originally from a remote Serbian village, he had already experienced a life of danger and intrigue. As a 17 year old in World War I, he had commanded a platoon on the Russian front during which time he was taken prisoner, escaped, wounded, returned to command a battalion, wounded again, then used his recuperation in hospital to study Law and gained a Doctorate from Zagreb University. Between the wars he held several important military and civilian posts before ending up in German-occupied France in 1940. In 1941 he escaped to England via Paris on a train reserved for German Generals, carrying three different passports and smuggling out important Intelligence reports as well as a cache of British and American currency. The young King Peter of Yugoslavia, who had himself escaped the German invasion of his country and was living in London in a suite at Claridges, appointed Voynovich his Private Secretary, Master of the Royal Household, Keeper of the Privy Purse and Political Adviser. Voynovich spent several years in the service of the young King Peter, but when the King decided to move his household on to Monaco, Voynovich, fearing a life of indolence, declined to accompany him. Instead, he resolved to remain in England and become a photographer. He took his Leica camera everywhere he went, often his hosts at weekend country house parties would invite him to take pictures. Before long, the young Princess Elizabeth saw some of these photos of her friends. The official process in order to gain a photographers pass to Royal events was to apply to the Palace each month when the Royal engagements were published. However, Scott's diplomatic contacts gave him unparalleled access. He was a friend of Sir 'Jock' Colville who was Princess Elizabeth's Private Secretary (and had also been assistant Private Secretary to three wartime Prime Ministers: Chamberlain, Churchill and Attlee). Through Colville, Elizabeth requested that Voynovich photograph her in uniform during one of her first Trooping the Colour ceremonies. This was a success and he was asked again in 1951 when she took the salute herself as the King was ill. The resulting photograph of her in the scarlet tunic of the Grenadier Guards was the image that the new Queen chose after she had succeeded to the throne, to be shown in cinemas whenever the national anthem was played. The success of this photograph really launched Voynovich's photographic career. It was at this time that he changed his name to the more manageable John Scott, partly because in his native Yugoslavia, photographers were considered third class citizens.As an ex-cavalry officer with equestrian expertise and having been a member of the diplomatic service he was very well positioned to intimately capture favourite Royal events such as Ascot, Badminton and Windsor Horse Show. He had a great passion for horses which was shared by all the Royal Family. Scott was also extremely charming and his diplomatic experience meant he was suave and comfortable around Royalty. In addition, he spoke 10 languages which made him very useful.One of the Royals once told him "You are the only photographer who lasts with Lillibet, because when you are taking pictures you behave accordingly, and when you are not, you are one of us."Although initially reluctant to exploit his connections, he was advised to employ an agent. His agent found him an unconventional client - he refused to charge any royalties for the Trooping the Colour photograph, "I am not a shopkeeper!" he protested, but his scruples changed and his work went on to command the highest fees from magazines and publishers around the world. His clients included a number of well-known British publications including Woman's Own magazine where in 1953, he met Judy Appelbee (nee Stoakes) who was a secretary. His contract work for Woman's Own was more conventional in nature and he often needed a model. Judy was clever and beautiful and he persuaded her to pose for him. They shared a love of horses. It was the beginning of a career-long collaboration which placed Judy in front of, and also behind the camera, and in which she found herself rubbing shoulders with and photographing the upper echelons of the aristocracy and the Royals. She was to become his assistant for the next 30 years.Together they photographed numerous Royal events all over the world and took some of the most iconic Royal images of the 1960s, 70s and 80s. Judy retired to Cornwall with her husband. When Voinovich died in 1986, he left his photographic collection to Judy. As well as the two occasions the Queen requested Scott to photograph her for the Trooping of the Colour, other notable photo shoots of his career (although not included in this lot) include the 3 year-old Prince Charles and his baby sister Anne in the gardens at Clarence House. A selection of these photographs was sent by the then Princess Elizabeth to Prince Philip in Malta where he was on active service. Official commissions included the formal portrait of Diana, Princess of Wales used for a special Crown Agents' Omnibus Series of postage stamps to commemorate her 21st birthday amongst the Commonwealth countries. He also did a series of 19 official portraits of Prince Charles in uniforms with full military and naval regalia, see lot 397A for prints, copyright for these belong to the Crown.Some of the most remarkable images include Prince Charles laughing with Mother Theresa in India in 1980 and in complete contrast, the Prince dancing with scantily clad carnival dancers in Brazil. Also iconic images of Charles and Diana announcing their engagement and on honeymoon at Balmoral, looking happy and comfortable in each other's company. In 1971 Prince Phillip took up carriage driving. In 1973, Scott was asked to help organise a Yugoslavian team to compete in the European Carriage Driving Championships at Windsor. Scott acted as interpreter. They competed with four bay Lippizzaner stallions and brought a team of reserve horses. One was presented to Princess Anne and another to Scott as a thank you for his assistance. There many images of these beautiful horses and others belonging to Princess Anne. When Scott died, as well as inheriting his photographic archive, Judy also inherited his Lippizaner and brought it to Cornwall.Looking through the thousands of images in this archive, covering almost forty years, it is possible to see the Royal family grow up before ones eyes. Knowing them now, in their older years, it is easy to forget how dashing Prince Charles and Prince Andrew were, how poised and stylish Princess Anne was or the luminous beauty of Princess Margaret and indeed our current Queen. Yet everything is here, from childhood to maturity, Royal engagements with all their pomp and ceremony to unguarded family moments between the Queen and her children. It is an astonishing collection.The collection consists of colour transparencies housed in plastic display sleeves that hold 12 or 20 transparencies. Many are annotated with date and location.5 filing boxes containing 3917 transparencies and 9 folders containing 623 transparencies, assorted prints and some negatives. Some of the contents of the folders are duplicates of images in the boxes. (See inside back cover illustrations)

2nd Bn Welsh Regiment Possible Unique Officer Combination of Five Medals. Robert Baden Powell InterestAwarded to Captain John Gardiner who served in the ranks of the 2nd Bn in China 1900, commissioned into the South African Constabulary 1901 and recalled to the Colours in 1914 when he was granted a Commission. Comprising: Queen’s South Africa Medal, five clasps “Cape Colony”, “Orange Free State”, “Transvaal”, “South Africa 1901”, “South Africa 1902”, “2/LIEUT J. GARDINER S.A.C”. (script Officer naming), China Medal “SERGT J GARDINER 2ND WELSH REGT” (Script naming no regimental number), 1914/15 Star, “CAPT J GARDINER WELSH R”, British War Medal, Victory Medal, “CAPT J GARDINER”. Medals loose. ... The medals are accompanied by a typed letter dated 1907 clearly signed by Robert Baden Powell Major General, with reference to his service with the South African Constabulary. Captain John Gardiner had an extraordinary career after education at Trinity College Dublin he enlisted into the 2nd Bn Welsh Regiment, with promotion to Corporal following year in 1892. He was posted with the regiment to India and was promoted Sergeant and qualified to take charge of Transport. In 1896 he was appointed to the Staff of the Quartermaster General India. In 1897 he returned to his Bn with a recommendation for promotion. In 1900 he was specially selected to be attached to the Indian Contingent and proceeded to Hong Kong and after the capture of Taku Forts took part in the advance to Tientsin. in 1901 at the request of Lord Curzon Gardiner was recommended for a commission in the South African Constabulary. In 1903 whilst still serving with the SAC he applied for the China Medal, giving his details as “Late Serg 2/Welsh Regt” no regimental number is given and as commissioned Officer this may explain the unusual naming. In 1906 he resigned his commission and found work in Canada returning to England in 1912. At the outbreak of the Great War he was commissioned into the 10th Bn Royal Warwickshire Regiment with the rank of Captain he later transferred to his old regiment taking up a post with the 9th Bn Welsh Regiment. He landed in France with the Bn on the 18th July 1915, he took part in the Battle of Loos and in January 1916 was invalided home with illness contracted in the Trenches. Later that year he was posted as Pay Master and Company Officer at the Convalescent Camp at Warlingham. He resigned his commission for a final time on the 5th August 1919, being awarded the Silver War Badge. A digital photo of Captain Gardiner wearing his medals exists. Basic research has found that the Welsh Regiment only received two China 1900 medals, the other being award with clasp to Captain R.W.P. White who was attached to the Headquarters.

Norman Stansfield Cornish (1919-2014) ''Solitary Miner'' Signed, watercolour heightened with white, 14cm by 22cm Provenance: The Stone Gallery, Newcastle upon Tyne Artist's Resale Rights/Droit de Suite may apply to this lot, please refer to our Terms of Business See illustration Born in 1919 in Oxford Street, Spennymoor, Norman Cornish began working in the mines on Boxing day in 1933 and not long after he was accepted as a member of the Spennymoor Settlement, at just the age of 15. It was here that he met the author Sid Chaplin and fellow mining artist Tom McGuinness. The artists of the Settlement exhibited regularly at the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle and directly after the war Cornish held his first solo exhibition at the People's Theatre in Newcastle. The sale of five of his works at the exhibition resulted in him being asked to curate an exhibition on Oxford Street in London ''Art by the Miner''. The exhibition was organised to create awareness of the newly nationalised coalmines and resulted in Cornish being interviewed on television, it transpired that he was a natural speaker and he continued to converse with the media throughout his career. Cornish exhibited throughout the North East and nationally and in 1959 he first exhibited at the acclaimed Stone Gallery in Newcastle upon Tyne. The gallery prided itself on representing artists with local connections such as Sheila Fell and L.S Lowry in addition to many of the internationally acclaimed historical and old master artists. Cornish established a long standing relationship with the gallery which lasted for over twenty years.
