Fawkessailed Belle Lurettewinner Bembridge RegattaAugust 1885Admiral Sir Wilmot Hawksworth Fawkes, GCB, KCVO (22 December 1846-29 May 1926), was a Royal Navy officer, who commanded the Royal Yacht Osborne, and became Private Naval Secretary to the First Lord of the Admiralty in 1897. His last post was as Commander-in-Chief, Plymouth, 1908. The tankard was presented by The Prince of Wales, who would become Edward VII in 1902. In 1899 Fawkes became Aide-de-Camp to Queen Victoria. He was awarded Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (CVO) by King Edward VII on 11 August 1902 for his role in helping to organise the fleet review for the coronation of the King, 1902.See eleven letters addressed to the admiral by royalty, sold Sworders, 26 September 2017. The letters demonstrate the continuous relationship that Fawkes held with royalty. One letter dated November 6th, 1908, is addressed to Fawkes from Prince George, who thanks the admiral for interviewing a young Prince Albert to become a cadet of the Royal Navy, for which he was President. The intimate letter reads: 'I am sorry that in spite of all you did, you were unable to put him at his ease, he has always been rather shy, but I think it is better than being too forward, which many boys are in our days'.The Admiral is a descendant of The Fawkes of Farnely Hall, Otley, and Hawksworth Hall, Yorks. The father of Guye Fawkes, the gunpowder plot conspirator, was a descendant of the Fawkes family in Farnely. J M W Turner was a close friend of Walter Ramsden Hawkesworth Fawkes, a Yorkshire MP (2 March 1769-24 October 1825), which enabled him to build a significant collection of Turner’s works. Turner stayed at Farnely on numerous occasions. His oil painting ‘Snow Storm: Hannibal and his Army Crossing the Alps’, 1812, is said to have been inspired by a storm he experienced on one visit to Farnely.

1972 Mercedes W114 250 Coupe Registration number: PHZ 5630 Date of first registration: 01/10/2012 Vin number: 11402310009577 Engine number: 13092340000879 MOT expiry: 21/12/2017 V5C present listing 2 former keepers (post import) WhiteThe Mercedes-Benz W114 and W115 models are a series of sedans and coupés introduced in 1968 by Mercedes-Benz. The W114/W115 models were the first post-war Mercedes-Benz production car to use a newly engineered chassis, not derived from preceding models. All coupé models used the 6-cylinder engine (and thus were W114s) and were designated with a "C" in the model name. Only 8,824 of the W114 250c's were produced making this quite a rare car,they are renowned for their reliability as in 2004 Greek taxi driver Gregorios Sachinidis donated his 1976 Mercedes-Benz 240D to the Mercedes-Benz Museum Collection with 4.6 million kilometers on the odometer, which is recognised as the Mercedes-Benz with the highest recorded mileage known to date. This 250c was imported into the UK in 2012 hence it is left hand drive and only has 2 former keepers on the V5 this beautiful car is in very good condition inside and out and comes with lots of invoices/paperwork relating to work carried out on the car.

Original vintage travel advertising poster Fly American To The Sun Country This Winter. Arizona Winter Resort. Ivan Dmitri (or Dmitre) (1900 – 1968), born Levon West, was an artist from the U.S. State of North Dakota. Born in Centerville, South Dakota, his father was a Congregational minister who immigrated from Armenia. The family changed their name to West when Levon and his brothers did not want to enlist in the service during World War I under their Armenian last name, Assadoorian. The name West was chosen as it was the maiden name of Levon's mother. Levon West adopted the pen name of Ivan Dmitri to use for his color photography. His etchings and watercolors were always done under his original name, Levon West. When he began working with color photography, Levon West adopted the pen name Ivan Dmitri, though he continued to use the name Levon West for his non-photographic works. Ivan Dmitri was a pioneer in color photography, and wrote several books on the subject, his first being, Color in Photography in 1939. The first color photographic cover on the Saturday Evening Post magazine (May 29, 1937)was by Dmitri, a photo of an Automobile racing driver seated in his race car. Another SEP cover, May 16, 1944, was a photo of General 'Hap' Arnold, with B-17's flying overhead, with a B-17 crew planning a flight. This cover was so popular that the United States used the photo image to print a very rare World War II (war effort) poster. As Ivan Dmitri, he helped to gain acceptance for photography as an art medium, and established one of the first photography exhibits at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. Dmitri felt that such a move was necessary in order for the public to treat photography as art, rather than just something reserved smaller mediums like books, magazines, and newspapers. In 1959, Ivan Dmitri founded Photography in the Fine Arts. Very good condition, few creases on margins. Country: USA. Year: 1950. Designer: Ivan Dmitri. Size (cm): 31.5 x 43.
