Harry Riley (1895-1966) Two watercolours "Austria 1958", labelled verso, 31.25cm x 24.5cm Alpine scene and estuary scene, signed, 33cm x 48.5cm (both unframed) Harry Riley (1895-1966) was a popular and prolific, principally commercial, British artist, who flourished from the 1920s until the 1960s. This collection comprises his remaining studio, offered to the market by his granddaughter and numbers over 100 lots. Harry Riley is iconic in British Post War art history. As a poster artist and commercial illustrator his work was seen by millions on trains, in the underground, in magazines and on TV. However relatively few of his works were sold to the public, so this represents a unique opportunity to acquire his original oils, pastels and watercolours. Harry Riley was elected a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour and was a member of, and at one time president of, The London Sketch Club. The collection includes a series of sketches of life classes attended by his fellow artists. From his own collection of original artwork also included in the sale are works by John Hassall, O.E Brabbins, Frederick Donald Blake and Edward Wesson, friends and fellow members of the Wapping Group of artists. The familiar railway posters, for which he is probably best known, show sunny beaches, suave men, fashionable women and perfect Janet and John children escaping from drab grey homes radiating happiness in Aberystwyth, Barmouth, Cardigan, Porthcawl, Penzance, Weston super Mare, Woolacombe, Mortehoe, Newquay and Plymouth. His commercial drawings were iconic in setting the style for a generation through fashion journals, motoring ads, and comics. Specialising as a figure artist, he drew for Fortnum and Mason, Selfridges, The Champion, The Girls Favourite, The Autocar, British Rail, BOAC, Qantas and many others. As well as being an accomplished cartoonist for The Daily Mail, he presented drawing on TV in the '50s. He produced WWII poster propaganda and wrote articles for the press. He was a character actor and variety entertainer and even modelled for his illustrations of Burton clothes.

A German "photographic album" propaganda biography of Adolf Hitler circa 1940

A very important German Nazi hallmarked silver cigarette case, presented to a Luftwaffe air ace in 1937. Contains engraved signatures of all 11 recipients of identical cases. In 1937 a team of 11 Luftwaffe pilots from the Messerschmitte BF 109 Fighter Team took part in the 4th Internationl Flying Meeting in Zurich, Switzerland. The team won the contest and were subsequently honoured by the presentation of identical silver and gold cigarette cases containing each of their signatures. The presentation is understood to have been made by Adolf Hitler who was understandably proud of their achievement and the propaganda it offered. Several of the pilots went on to achieve high rank in the Nazi war machine. This is the only one of the 11 known to have come up for sale. 12.5cm x 7.8cm x 1cm. Prov. G.Light collection

Julius Caesar AR Denarius. Military mint travelling with Caesar, 49-48 BC. Elephant advancing right, trampling on serpent; CAESAR in exergue / Emblems of the pontificate: simpulum, aspergillum, securis (surmounted by wolf's head), and apex. Sear 9; Crawford 443/1; CRI 9; Sydenham 1006; RSC 49; Kestner 3515-20; BMCRR Gaul 27-30; RBW 1557. 3.81g, 17mm, 8h. Good Extremely Fine. Julius Caesar and his armies assembled on the banks of the Rubicon River on 10 January 49 BC, ready to invade Italy. Since large quantities of denarii were necessary to pay Caesar's military expenses, the mint travelled with them. This issue was ordered, not by a moneyer, as was usual, but by Julius Caesar himself. The obverse clearly depicts the triumph of good over evil, numismatic propaganda designed to encourage Caesar's soldiers during the long, intense campaign. The reverse, depicting priestly emblems, tells of Caesar's office as Pontifex Maximus, high priest. In all likelihood, this type was used by Caesar's military forces at least until the decisive battle of Pharsalus.

Septimius Severus, with Caracalla and Geta, AV Aureus. Rome, AD 210-211. SEVERVS PIVS AVG BRIT, laureate head right / CONCORDIA AVGVSTORVM, Caracalla and Geta, both laureate and togate, standing facing one another, supporting between them a globe surmounted by Victory standing left, holding wreath in right hand and palm frond in left. RIC 330A; Calicó 2436; Jameson 1913, pl. VII, 162; BMC 366, *. 7.09g, 19mm, 12h. Near Mint State. Extremely Rare, no examples on CoinArchives. This reverse type neatly shows the hope Severus held for unity and amity between his two sons, and his wish for them to rule together following his death and thus continue the dynasty he had founded. Imperial propaganda presented the image of a happy family that shared the responsibilities of rule: Severus' wife Julia Domna was his trusted counsellor, his older son Caracalla his second in command, and his younger son, appointed Augustus in 209, was entrusted with administrative and bureaucratic duties. Yet the brothers' disdain for one another is well-attested; Cassius Dio relates that 'the two pretended to love and commend each other, but in all that they did they were diametrically opposed, and anyone could see that something terrible was bound to result from the situation.' Following Severus' death whilst on campaign in Caledonia in 211, the two brothers returned to Rome from Britannia to their joint rule under the watchful eye of their mother. The brothers argued and fought over every law and every appointment, the situation becoming sufficiently unbearable that by the end of the year during the festival of Saturnalia, Caracalla attempted to have Geta murdered, without success. Later, under the pretext of meeting for a reconciliation, Caracalla had his brother slain in his mother's arms by members of the Praetorian Guard loyal to him. After a tumultuous and bloodthirsty reign of less than six years, Caracalla was assassinated by an officer of his personal bodyguard while relieving himself at a roadside near Carrhae. Although after a brief interlude the line of Septimius' father Bassianus would continue for some time yet in the form of Elagabalus (Caracalla's first cousin, once removed) and later Severus Alexander, Caracalla's death firmly extinguished Septimius' dream for his sons to continue the Severan dynasty he had laboured to establish.

WORLD COINS, India, Mughal, Aurangzeb, Silver Rupee, Tibet-i-Kalan (Ladakh), date off flan (AH 1076, Year 8), 11.47g (ONS 208 (Summer 2011) pp.33-34). Fine and of the highest rarity, possibly the only recorded specimen.This Rupee is of the highest numismatic importance and illustrates the value Aurangzeb placed on asserting Mughal authority over Kashmir and the Himalayas. In 1639 Ladakh narrowly escaped total subjugation by Shah Jahan in part by promising an annual tribute. In later years, when Ladakh not only reneged on its promise but also disrupted the Mughal trade route between Kashmir and central Tibet, Aurangzeb threatened invasion again and, reluctantly, the territory submitted to the growing empire. The present Rupee bears the name of the Mughal emperor and the mint but its exact nature is perhaps more complex. Rhodes speculated that the issue may well have been struck independently in Ladakh as tribute, and may then have circulated exclusively in India as propaganda. The issue of this coinage is recorded in the contemporary sources the Alamgirnama, the Maasir-i-Alamgiri and by Khafi Khan II. For a full history of this type see Rhodes, ONS 156 (Summer 1998) pp.19-20 (Mohur) and ONS 208 (Summer 2011) pp.33-34 (Rupee).

Col Otto Ernst Remer KC OL signed 6 x 4 vintage portrait photo soldier and political activist: born Neu Brandenburg, Germany 1912; died Marbella, Spain 5 October 1997. Otto Ernst Remer's career peaked in July 1944 when he helped, perhaps decisively, to change world history, tipping the balance in favour of Nazi fanatics against the "good Germans" who were plotting to overthrow Adolf Hitler. Despite his relatively low rank of major, he was in command of the Guards Battalion Grossdeutschland in Berlin when on 20 July 1944 the military plot against Hitler was in full swing. As is often the case with military coups, many of those involved at the lower levels thought it was an exercise. Remer was instructed to deploy his troops to guard essential public buildings. He complied. He was further ordered to arrest Dr Joseph Goebbels, Reich Minister for Popular Enlightenment and Propaganda, and Gauleiter of Berlin. Many young officers would have had difficulties with such an order. Goebbels was the public face of Germany and also the patron of the battalion. When the two men came face to face, Goebbels seized the psychological initiative, and established contact with Hitler at the "Wolves' Lair" in Rastenburg, East Prussia. Hitler promoted Remer to colonel over the phone and ordered him to move swiftly to crush the conspirators. Most of them were shot, committed suicide or were later hanged after show trials. Had Remer taken a different line, it is possible the plot would have succeeded. Although Hitler had survived the plotters' assassination attempt, which killed some of his entourage in a bomb explosion, if the plotters had succeeded in taking control of Germany the war could have ended nearly a year before it did. Doubts about Remer had been expressed by the anti-Hitler plotter and Berlin police chief Count Wolff von Helldorf, but he was overruled by his military colleagues who thought Remer would simply obey superior orders. Remer had been awarded the knight's cross for his active service. Only weeks before, he had been wounded in an air raid and had made a good impression on the Berlin conspirators. However, Remer, a former Hitler Youth leader, remained true to his oath of loyalty to Hitler, which every soldier had been obliged to give. Remer finished the war as a major-general before spending some time in an American POW camp and in a British internment camp. He had had a good war as a professional soldier and found it impossible to come to terms with the new Germany. The country was occupied, divided, disarmed, despised and battling to cope with millions of refugees. He was by no means alone in seeing the Third Reich as "12 glorious years". He was feted among the remnants of those still loyal to the Third Reich and was soon active in far right politics. The party he helped to found in Hamlin in October 1949, the Sozialistische Reichspartei (SRP), was briefly successful. In the regional elections in Lower Saxony in 1951, it attracted 366,790 votes - 11 per cent. In Bremen in October, it won 7.7 per cent of the vote, with Remer as deputy chairman of the party. These results shocked the outside world. But the truth was, Lower Saxony had been a Nazi stronghold even in the 1920s, and the SRP was largely confined to that area. Of its 10,300 members, 6,500 were in Lower Saxony. Meanwhile, an action for slandering the members of the anti-Nazi resistance was brought against Remer by surviving relatives of the July plotters. Sentenced to three months' imprisonment on 15 March 1952, he fled to Egypt. The SRP was banned as unconstitutional in the same year. Remer remained unrepentant in his support for Nazi Germany. If anything, he seemed to get more extreme as his cause lost popularity. He participated in or led several neo-Nazi movements in the decades that followed. Until 1989, he headed the German Freedom Movement (Die Deutsche Freiheitsbewegung); this was one of 23 similar groups with an estimated combined membership of only 1,500. It was on the fringe of the fringe of far-right politics. From June 1991 to February 1994 Remer published the Remer Depesche, which claimed to have its offices in Britain - it was then replaced by the Deutschland Report. In 1994, he moved to Spain to avoid a 22-month sentence for inciting hatred, violence and racism - he was one of a small colony of German and Austrian "revisionists" who denied the Holocaust. The extremist magazine Halt evaluated Remer's "escape" to Spain as "a severe setback for the German Federal Government in its war against Germany". Good condition
