Percy Thomas Maquiod (1852-1925)/Design for Act I Scene 3 of Sir Herbert Tree's production of 'Henry VIII', 1910/acrylic, 30cm x 33cm/Note: The production of Henry VIII at His Majesty's Theatre in 1910 became the most celebrated of all Tree's great spectacles and the banquet scene in Wolsey's palace perhaps the most famous scene ever staged by him. Tree's productions were conceived as pageants in which historical periods were accurately recreated. On the annotations on this design Maquoid, who was an authority on historical detail, records some of his sources. Michael R Booth in his Victorian Spectacular Theatre (1981) gives a full account of this production and its creation. The banquet tables were laden with 235 props 'all exact copies taken either from originals in museums or paintings in the National Gallery'. In the centre we see the canopied seat for Tree as Cardinal Wolsey about to pledge 'the company with a goblet of wine' after a choir had sung a grace. This was the production that Tree took to New York in 1916/Provenance: The drawing came from Ellen Terry's niece Phyllis Neilson, daughter of Fred Terry (1864-1932) whose second husband was Heron Carvic who left it to Julie Nightingale, who worked for Sir Roy Strong at the V&A and bequeathed it to him. Ellen Terry played Katherine of Aragon in Irving's 1892 production of the play for which this must be a design. The set is a banqueting hall with Wolsey left raising his goblet in a toast, probably scene IV. A Hall in York Place in which Wolsey presides and the King and his company enter as masquers in disguise. Irving played Wolsey and Ellen Terry Katherine of Aragon

A FINE BUILDER’S HALF-BLOCK MODEL FOR THE BARQUE GEORGETOWN BUILT FOR CAVAN BROTHERS, LONDON BY ROBERT THOMPSON, SUNDERLAND, 1858 the 36in. hull carved from 1in. laminated wood with contrasting gunwale and gun ports, with gilt paper decorative stern with finely carved figurehead with foliate gilt work to bow and stern, mounted on wooden display base with specification plate, overall measurements -- 10 x 53½in. (25.5 x 136cm.) Provenance: Monkwearmouth Historical Society, deaccessioned 2017Footnote: The wooden barque Georgetown enjoyed the unusual distinction of having her original rig upgraded to that of a full-rigged ship, when the opposite was normally the case, and she was also very long-lived by the standards of the time. Built by R. Thompson & Sons in Sunderland in 1858 to the order of Cavan Bros. of London, she was registered at 414 tons (net and gross) and measured 135 feet in length with a 26½ foot beam. Under her first master, Captain Cobb, she operated in the West India trade and remained on this route, despite several changes of ownership, for almost all her career. Re-rigged as a ship in 1866, Cavans sold her to the Colonial Company in 1869, and in 1881 she was sold to Scruttons who had previously managed her for Colonial. Sold again in 1885, this time to Fawcett & Waugh of Newcastle-on-Tyne, she finally disappears from record during the 1890s, almost certainly broken up in view of her age.Condition report: Fine overall condition, display board later

Nibbs’ (lower right); artist’s label circa 1860 to reverse 23 x 47in. (58.5 x 119cm.)Footnote: Although painted slightly later, research suggests that this wreck may be that of the barque William which stranded on the rocks below Beachy Head sometime during the 1850s, precise date unknown. The fate of the wreck is equally obscure, with some sources stating she was eventually refloated whilst others say she was simply abandoned and left to break up.Condition report: Original frame and mount, good overall condition.
