*De Morgan (Evelyn, 1855-1919). Male nude playing a pipe, charcoal on paper, full-length seated male nude wearing a loin cloth, with face in profile turned to left, playing a pipe, dusty, damp-stain to upper right blank corner, very small hole above left shoulder, verso with another sketch of a full-length seated male nude, edge-frayed and with pin-holes at corners, sheet size 62 x 46cm (24.5 x 18ins), together with two other similar-sized charcoal drawings on paper of the same model, both full-length, one showing him playing a pipe in a different attitude, the other showing him reclining, both with some dust and water-soiling, and frayed at edges, lower right corner of latter with name of 'Emilie I. Barrington' and 'E. Barrington' in charcoal and pencil in the artist's hand, plus two others similar of different male models These highly accomplished drawings were executed whilst Evelyn De Morgan was a student at the Slade School of Art. Evelyn enrolled at the Slade in 1873 - one of the first three women to enrol - after spending a short time at the South Kensington National Art Training School. Study of the living model was considered of paramount importance to the education of each student at the Slade, and Evelyn's life drawings from this period demonstrate a level of skill and understanding of the human anatomy surprising for one so young. Her skilful draughtsmanship was acknowledged by numerous awards which she received during her time at the Slade, including equal first prize for drawing from life in 1875. The De Morgan Foundation holds a number of similar life drawings by Evelyn. Interestingly they are in similar condition to those offered here, so it seems safe to assume that the drawings were neglected relatively early on in their existence and perhaps whilst still in the possession of the artist (who may have placed little importance on the work of her student days). A forceful and highly-strung woman, Emilie Barrington was an art critic and novelist chiefly remembered for her biographies of G.F. Watts and Frederic Leighton. She was an amateur artist herself, taking drawing lessons from Arthur Hughes, and she quite determinedly assimilated herself into the artistic and literary circles of the day. It is curious that Mrs. Barrington's name appears on one of the studies offered here; there appears to be little known about her relationship with the De Morgans, although we do know that Evelyn, accompanied by the writer Violet Paget, went to lunch at Emilie Barrington's in 1883, after which they visited the studios of Watts and Leighton.

*Darly (Mary). A collection of twenty-seven etched caricatures, circa 1775, uncoloured etched caricatures, some dust soiling and staining, small format, various condition The Darlys, a husband and wife team, played a prominent part in the birth of the English caricature. It could be argued that they opened the doors which later exponents crashed through, including James Gillray. As early as 1749 Mathew Darley is recorded as having been called to face a parliamentary committee looking into the subject of obscene prints. Mary can quite rightly be called the 'mother of caricaturists'. She developed the idea of producing small engravings with satirical sketches on them the size of a playing card which could be sent through the post. They became collectors items and from 1756 were then bound up and published as an annual review under the title of 'A Political and Satyrical History of the Year'. Mary describes the political sketches as caricatures; the first time this description is applied to a satirical portrait or scene. Mary also taught drawing and caricature-making to suitable Ladies and Gentlemen, and in 1762 published the first guide book to the subject under the title of 'A Book of Caricaturas, on 59 Copper Plates, with Ye Principles of Designing in the Droll & Pleasing Manner'. It contained just three pages of instruction, but also set out numerous examples of her technique. The Darlys had three print shops over a period of a quarter of a century and in that time they dominated the London print shop scene. They were operating in a period just before the Golden Age of satire, which would usher in Gillray, Rowlandson, the Cruikshanks et al, but it was the Darlys that helped it happen. (27)
