Captain Richard Brydges Beechey , RHA (1808-1895) "Sybil Head, Near the Blaskets and Dingle, West of Ireland 1884," O.O.C., 76cms x 115cms (30" x 45"). (1) One of Beechey's finest marine paintings, Sybil Head depicts three currachs braving rough seas beneath jagged rocks at the north west tip of the Dingle Peninsula. To the left, a sailing vessel, perhaps a naval brig, bears down on the currachs, while to the right a hooker approaches from Ferriter's Cove. Cormorants take flight and seagulls land on the rough seas. A floating tree trunk lies in the path of the brig; Beechey used details such as these to introduce a sense of danger to his paintings. To the right, a mountain, one of the 'Three Sisters', is silhouetted against the stormy sky. The subject of this painting, and the Dingle peninsula itself, had become well-known to a wider audience in the 1840?s through the work of both the Ordnance Survey and the Geological Survey of Ireland. In June 1856, the geologist George Victor du Noyer surveyed the peninsula, incorporating watercolour views of Sybil Head in his maps. He also painted two dramatic views on Inishtooskert, an island near Inish Tearaght, of sharply angled cliffs on the northern side of the island. (these watercolour map are in the collection of the Geological Survey of Ireland). Born in London in 1808, the son of artists Sir William Beechey RA and miniaturist Anne Jessop (Lady Beechey), Richard Brydges Beechey was a naval officer who also became one of Ireland?s most accomplished marine painters. Aged thirteen he enrolled as a cadet at the Royal Naval College in Portsmouth, where art formed part of his training. Joining HMS Blossom in 1825, he served as a midshipman under his older brother, hydrographer Captain Frederick William Beechey, for three years in the Pacific. During this time, Richard Brydges painted watercolour views of Mexico and California. Landing on Pitcairn Island, he sketched a portrait of John Adams, last surviving mutineer from HMS Bounty. They then sailed north, into Arctic waters, as far as the Bering Straits, but failed in their objective of meeting up with Franklin?s second expedition, which was making its way north-west around Canada. Although it is generally stated that Beechey transferred to the Survey of Ireland in 1835, the chart of Lough Derg is titled ?Surveyed by Commander James Wolfe, Assisted by Lieutenant R. B. Beechey 1830?. This marked the beginning of years of surveying the coast and rivers of Ireland. As well as surveying, Beechey painted consistently, exhibiting both at the Royal Academy and the Royal Hibernian Academy. Seven years later, the survey of Lough Ree was complete, and their attention turned to the more hazardous West of Ireland coastline. Prompted by dangers they had encountered in navigating the coast of Cork and Kerry, Wolfe?s report, published in 1846 ?On the want of Lights, Buoys and Beacons on the Coast of Ireland? led to the building of new lighthouses on Sybil Head and at other locations. Although Beechey painted this view of Sybil Head decades later, he would likely have used notes and sketches made during his survey of the Kerry coast in the early 1840?s. After retiring from the Navy in 1864, with the rank of Admiral, Beechey settled for a time at Monkstown, Co. Dublin and four years later was elected HRHA. In 1874, he was living at 110 Pembroke Road, and in that year painted Eagle Island, off Erris Head, West of Ireland, a work exhibited a decade later at the Royal Hibernian Academy. By 1885, he was living at Plymouth, where he continued painting. There are works by Beechey in collections both in Ireland and abroad. His Mail Boat ?Connaught? is in the National Gallery of Ireland, while a view of the Blasket Islands is in the Royal St. George Yacht Club, along with a panoramic view of Kingstown Harbour. Fastnet Rock, and Lights, off Cape Clear, shown at the RHA in 1877, is now in the collection of the Royal Ocean Racing Club, while HMS Erebus passing through the chain of bergs (1842) is in the Maritime Museum in Greenwich.

Lot 153
TIGHE (MARY)Manuscript notebook titled 'Sonnets', on the first leaf, containing some 140 poems, written in ink in a fine closely written hand, including poems from 'Verses Transcribed for H.T.' and later works, beginning with 'Composed on the White Sands near Arklow', 'Written at Scarborough 1799', 'Written in Autumn 1795', 'Written in the Church yard at Malvern', 'Addressed to the Ladies of Llangollen Vale', 'Written for Angela 1802', 'The Vartree', 'A Faithfull Friend is the Medicine of Life', 'To the Memory of Margaret Tighe', 'Verses written in Solitude', her long ballads 'Cluen – An Elegy' and 'Bryan Byrne of Glenmalure' and ending with translations from Horace, Catullus and Petrarch, etc., with numerous amendments and additions, index, inscribed in pencil on flyleaf in another hand 'from The Library/ Rosanagh/ Co. Wicklow' with light pencil markings throughout, 396 numbered pages, one extra half leaf tipped in, bookplate of Henry Tighe, marbled endpapers, contemporary red straight-grained morocco gilt, rubbed, small nick in spine, upper cover soiled at corner, g.e., 16mo (118 x 94mm.), [n.p.], c.1806Footnotes:'OH THOU! WHOM NE'ER MY CONSTANT HEART/ ONE MOMENT HATH FORGOT/ THO' FATE SEVERE HAS BID US PART/ YET STILL FORGET ME NOT': A rediscovered notebook from the poet who inspired Keats.Irish poet Mary Tighe (1772-1810) '...was a crucial force in shaping British Romanticism. With remarkable vitality and virtuosity, her poetry engaged the central issues of the period, often in advance of writers now considered canonical, and commanded the attention and respect of her contemporaries....These poems demonstrate the technical virtuosity with which Tighe movingly wrote about the tensions between love and loss, duty and desire, the spiritual and the sensuous, loyalty and betrayal, nation and family, the Irish and the British, and much more, while struggling with debilitating illness...' (Paula R. Feldman & Brian C. Cooney, The Collected Poetry of Mary Tighe, 2016, p.1). The majority of the poems in our volume are included in 'Verses Transcribed for H.T.', an illustrated manuscript in two volumes dedicated and presented to her husband (and cousin) Henry Tighe, now held in the National Library of Ireland as part of the Hamilton of Hamworth Papers (MS 49, 155/2). These volumes were copied out by the poet sometime between 1803 and June 1808 and incorporate fair copies of her poems written at Brompton, London, where she spent the winter of 1804 to the summer of 1805 with beautifully drawn calligraphic headings and pen and ink vignettes. This manuscript is seen, until now, as the most authoritative text for most of Tighe's shorter poems: 'She carefully chose their arrangement; for example, she grouped all of her sonnets together, and she did not use strict chronology. Some of her extant poems were absent, but these omissions may have been a result of her not having them immediately at hand... Poems composed very late in her life are also not included...' (Feldman & Cooney, p.17). It may be that she used our volume as a source for the 'Verses' and, rather than the poems being not available to her, she made the editorial decision to leave them out.Much of the content tallies with that of the 'Verses' but with notable differences in the order. The first thirty or so poems follow the same order as the 'Sonnets' section of Volume I but 'Written on the acquittal of Hardy' is included before 'Addressed to the Ladies of Llangollen Vale', thus causing a change to the numbering. In the final version of 'Verses' she moves the Hardy poem to Volume II. Whilst the 'Verses' include 113 poems, our manuscript has around 140, and includes additional material from what bibliographers Feldman and Cooney call her 'Late Poems & Fugitive Verse', such as 'Eclipse', 'In Memory of Margaret Tighe taken from us June 7th 1804' and 'Verses written in Solitude'. She ends our manuscript by showing off her extensive classical education encouraged by her mother Theodosia Tighe (Methodist leader, friend of John Wesley, and co-founder of the Dublin House of Refuge) with translations from Horace, Catullus and Petrarch. The Tighes were living in times of great upheaval in Ireland and much of her work is highly political – included here her long ballad 'Bryan Byrne' which was based on real people and events.Our manuscript appears to be a working document with many amendments and neat crossings out – a half leaf with three additional verses has been bound into the poem 'Bryan Byrne' for example. In several places the poet has made corrections to our manuscript which made their way into the finished NLI manuscript (in 'Adorea' she replaces 'soothed and enraptured' with 'soothed or enraptured' for example – and in 'Pleasure', her note on the Senegal River has been much amended). In addition, some poems are lacking the titles that would be included in the final version. There would thus seem to be new material here which would bear much further research.Tighe published only one work in her lifetime, Psyche; or, the Legend of Love, which was put out in a private edition of fifty copies for the benefit of family and friends in 1805. However, whilst having many admirers amongst her literary circle (including Thomas Moore, Joseph Cooper Walker and the Ladies of Llangollen) it was the posthumous publication of Psyche, with Other Poems, in 1811 and in several later editions, that made her name widely known and established her literary reputation. Whilst she became to be seen as '...an exemplar of patiently (and picturesquely) long-suffering femininity...' (Pam Perkins, ODNB), Tighe's work was an influence on several better-known writers such as John Keats, Lord Byron, Charlotte Brontë and Felicia Hemans. After a hiatus in the twentieth century, her poems are once again enjoying recognition and it was only recently, in 2012, that her novel Selena was finally published for the first time. Tighe is now 'recognised as a great romantic-era woman poet of the sublime, who offered a complex, sophisticated, and aesthetically rich portrait of female sense and sensibility in her work' (Harriet Kramer Linkin, DIB). There is no volume matching the description of ours listed in the definitive Bibliography of Manuscript Sources in the latest Collected Poetry, so it could therefore be supposed that ours is a hitherto unknown, or at least rediscovered manuscript. The National Library of Ireland, Dublin holds the greater proportion of her extant manuscript works in the form of notebooks and fair copies of her poems, including 'Verses Transcribed for H.T.'. The family destroyed her journals after her death, but other manuscript material can be found in various commonplace books held elsewhere. Provenance: Henry Tighe (1771-1836) of Rosanna, Co. Wicklow (bookplate); thence by descent to the present owner.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

R. Brian Higham (1932-2019). Whilst attending teacher training at Trinity College in Carmarthen he attended a poetry reading given in the town by Thomas in 1952, at which the book was signed. The vendor remembers his grandfather telling him that 'Dylan Thomas was a little worse for wear on the night, and that he had to be brought in by someone..., late having been drinking in one of the pubs near the college'. This was most probably the Boar's Head, Dylan writing in an unpublished letter, dated October 1952, that he did not 'know what time I'll be getting to Carmarthen so I wonder if anyone could pick me up at the Boar's Head at about 6.30. That would give us time for a surreptitious drink before going on the College' (quoted on the Dylan Thomas Centre website).This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
