Important Early Photograph Album of Irish & Other Military FiguresCo. Cork: Military Interest: Album (28cms x 39cms) in fine original green leather binding with blind and gold tooling. 48 pp. (several blank). The owner was R. Roberts of the 9th Regiment and the album contains a large number of photos of officers in the regiment, some single and some in groups, and also of the regimental sergeants and of officers in other regiments. They are captioned and one is dated 1864. The album also includes photos of famous paintings and sculptures, topographical views (Kilkenny, Cork, Malta, Venice, Gibraltar, Corfu, Pembroke Dock), and of men and women in costumes, including an attractive photograph of Mrs Jane D'Esterre Hill, presumably taken soon after her marriage in 1866 at age 22. There are also coloured cut-outs of French military uniforms.The 9th (East Norfolk) Regiment of Foot fought in battles of the First Afghan and Sikh Wars, 1841-1846, and there is a photo of a monument to soldiers who fell in those engagements.Many early photograph albums have no captions; this one clearly identifies the officers of a particular regiment in the 1860s and thus forms an important document of the period, in contemporary full green and tooled décor mor. As an Album. (1)
‘Shah Jahan in the Time of Youth’ ascribed to GovardhanIndia, Mughal, c.1630-1640opaque watercolour with gold on paper, inscribed at lower left '…dhan' (the second half of [Govar]dhan), inner blue border, outer gold-flecked cream border, inscribed in the lower border 'shabihi shah jahan dar ‘alam juwani ‘amal-i govardhan', 'a picture of Shah Jahan in the time of youth the work of Govardhan'; reverse with a letter dated 1846 relating to the provenance (see below)miniature: 23.8 x 14.2cmvisible area: 29.5 x 19.5cmProvenance:In the possession of an East Anglian collector, probably in or near Bury St. Edmunds, before 1846. A handwritten letter from R E Lofft dated 18th July 1846 describing the painting and giving interpretations of the inscription is pasted to the reverse of the frame.This is an important and rare painting of a Mughal prince seated with his consort in a palace chamber. There is a later inscription in the lower border describing the scene as 'a picture of Shah Jahan in the time of youth…' and naming the artist as Govardhan, one of the leading Mughal royal painters of the first half of the seventeenth century. This attribution is apparently confirmed by a short inscription at the lower left of the painted area which reads '…dhan' - the second half of the name Govardhan. It is not clear why only the final letters of the name survive in this inscription, but it may simply be due to localised loss of pigment and subsequent retouching, of which there is evidence at the lower left corner.The style of the painting is very close to Govardhan’s, in particular the subdued, brownish palette, the precisely drawn facial features of the two figures, the romance and palpable intimacy of the scene, and the candid gaze that the princess directs outwards towards the viewer. There are several works signed by or attributed to Govardhan that provide comparisons, of which the following are the most relevant: a scene of a prince (possibly Parviz) and his consort on a terrace, a scene of Jahangir celebrating Holi in the women’s quarters, and a scene of a gathering of princes in a garden (all three in the Chester Beatty Library, Dublin, see E Wright, Muraqqa’, Imperial Mughal albums from the Chester Beatty Library, Alexandria VA, 2008, nos. 39, 41, 44, pp. 302-303, 310-311, 322-323); two ladies on a daybed (Seitz Collection, see J Seyller, 'Mughal and Deccani Paintings', Zurich, 2010, no. 11, p. 55); a prince and consort (probably Jahangir and Nur Jahan) embracing on a terrace (Los Angeles County Museum of Art, see P Pal, 'Indian Painting', Los Angeles, 1993, no.71, pp. 259-261); a portrait of Jabha (see J Seyller, ‘Govardhan’, in Beach, Fischer and Goswamy, 'Masters of Indian Painting 1100-1650', Artibus Asiae Suppl. 48-1, Zurich, 2011, p. 369, fig. 13). In terms of the general style and subject matter, there are several further works of the 1630s and 1640s that relate to the present painting, including a scene of Jahangir with Sultan Khurram
H. Moser & Cie, montre-bracelet homme à remontage mécanique, boîte en or jaune .750 avec seconde centrale, cadran beige, index bâton or, boîte n°951337 vers 1953.D. 34 mm. Référence:Créée par Heinrich Moser en 1828 et relancée en 2012 sous l’impulsion du groupe familial MELB Holding, H. Moser & Cie. incarne la nouvelle scène horlogère indépendante Contemporaine attachée à la grande tradition de la Haute Horlogerie. Basée à Neuhausen am Rheinfall, près de Schaffhouse, en Suisse, H. Moser & Cie. L’histoire commence en 1828 à Saint-Petersbourg, sous l’impulsion du Suisse Heinrich Moser. Issu de plusieurs générations d’horlogers, il poursuit une ambition : créer des montres qui mettent à l’honneur un artisanat de qualité et des composants haut de gamme. A peine 15 ans plus tard, Heinrich Moser s’impose comme un chef de file incontesté dans le domaine de l’industrie horlogère russe. En 1874, il s’éteint, sans héritier disposé à lui succéder. L’affaire est cédée à une nouvelle direction, qui poursuit l’activité de Moser en Russie, jusqu’à la Révolution d’Octobre, en 1917. Ce bouleversement met un terme à l’histoire de H. Moser & Cie. en Russie. L’activité se poursuivra au Locle, en Suisse, à partir de 1953. En 1979, en pleine crise horlogère, la société entre dans le giron de Dixi Mechanique Group. Il faudra attendre 2005 pour que l’histoire prenne un nouveau tournant. A l’occasion du 200ème anniversaire de Heinrich Moser et avec le soutien de sa famille, H. Moser & Cie revient sur le devant de la scène de l’horlogerie mondiale, multipliant les avancées techniques et obtenant plusieurs distinctions. En 2012, le groupe indépendant et familial MELB reprend la société et ouvre un nouveau chapitre. Aujourd’hui, H. Moser & Cie. est une véritable manufacture horlogère qui produit 1200 montres par an. Elle emploie 55 collaborateurs, développe et produit entièrement ses garde-temps, tous munis de l’un des 8 calibres manufacturés HMC. Au sein de son département de R&D sont élaborés des produits novateurs tels que le module d’échappement interchangeable, le système Double Pull Crown ou encore l’affichage des mois du calendrier perpétuel. La compagnie se positionne en tant qu’outil industriel stratégique, renforcé par les équipes de Precision Engineering AG, société sœur qui appartient à Moser Watch Holding et qui est spécialisée dans le développement, la production et l’assemblage de tous les composants destinés aux modules d’échappement. Maîtrisant l’ensemble du processus de conception et de production, la manufacture H. Moser & Cie. s’inscrit dans la continuité de l’esprit entrepreneurial de son fondateur, dans le respect de sa stratégie visionnaire et de ses valeurs.

A W.W.1 group of three medals, awarded to 14830 Pte.G. Hine. Devon.R., comprising 1914-15 Star, British War medal and Victory medal, and a British War medal, awarded 2978 Pte. J. R. Hine. Devon. R. (4) Note: George Hine was killed in July 1916 in the early days of the battle of the Somme - he's commemorated on the Awliscombe War Memorial. George Hines' brother James Hine had, we believe, been out in India with the 4th Battalion. He died of disease in August 1916 having been discharged from the Army. He is not remembered on the War Memorial even though he does have a Commonwealth War Grave in Awliscombe Church Yard - in order to qualify for such the CWGC must have been convinced that he died of something contracted whilst on Active Service. Sadly that was not considered enough to get him on the war memorial next to his brother. Personal note: Maybe that should change…?!
