', saying that he will send a proof, signed, as soon as the plate has been steel faced and thanking him for his inspiration, 2 pp. on ruled paper in a small neat hand, minor creasing and punch holes to left margin, 4to, plus an initial proof etching of the Golden Hind with quatrain by Hopwood in the lower part of the plate impression, 17 x 12 cm, initial note by Wyllie slightly indistinct to lower margin, pin holes to upper left corner where previously attached to Harold's letter A nice naval association between a famous naval poet and two naval artists.

In 1851 she married Theodore Martin, who was later knighted, making her Lady Martin. She continued to act occasionally for charity. She wrote a series of essays, published as 'On Some of Shakespeare's Female Characters'. In this project she was encouraged by Queen Victoria for whom she sometimes gave private readings. Along with her husband she was often a guest of the Queen and like him the recipient of various presents over the years. Theodore Martin published a biography of her in 1900. (1)

A RARE ROYAL YACHT SERVING PLATTER OFF THE PRINCE REGENT'S YACHT, CIRCA 1817, a large oval creamware serving platter by Spode, the white ground decorated with oakleaf and acorn borders above nautical ropes and knots, the centre of the base reading P R in large letters separated by a crowned and garlanded anchor, integral tendril handles and the underside marked Spode in tiny red letters --19 x 14 x 3½in. (48.5 x 35.5 x 8.5cm.), Literature: Pugh, Surgeon Captain P.D. Gordon: Naval Ceramics, Ceramic Book Company, Newport, Monmouthshire, 1971, see plates 127 & 128A for two pieces from the same service although the pattern on only one of the two is absolutely identical to the dish offered here., Far less well-known than her more famous contemporary Royal George, the royal yacht Prince Regent was laid down at Portsmouth in September 1815 but not finally launched until June 1820, by which time her namesake had already succeeded to the throne as King George IV. Little is known of this yacht and it does not appear that she was much, if ever, used by the new king. Whilst it is tempting to speculate that this dish was used in her dining saloon, it is actually far more likely that it graced the Prince Regent's table aboard Royal George which he used continually during his Regency and after he became King., Named for the Prince Regent, the future George IV, rather than his father, the ailing George III, the Royal George was built at Deptford in 1817 and bore all the hallmarks of the Regent's flamboyant taste. Carrying a full ship-rig on her three masts, she was measured at 330 tons burden and was 103 feet long on her main deck with a 26½ foot beam. Luxuriously fitted out in a manner befitting her status, she attracted much attention - "The vessel is the most elegant ever seen" wrote a contemporary observer "...with gilt mouldings and the windows of plate-glass. Ornamental devices in abundance....producing a superb appearance"., After a remarkably colourful career during three reigns, Royal George's life as a working yacht came to an end in 1843, following the completion of the first royal steam yacht Victoria & Albert I. Thereafter relegated to the role of an accommodation ship for officers and men of the Royal Yacht flotilla and based at Portsmouth, she survived, astonishingly, until 1905 when she was finally broken up.,

VAUGHAN WILLIAMS RALPH: (1872-1958) English Composer. A rare autograph manuscript fragment, one page (manuscript paper), slim oblong 8vo, n.p., n.d. (c.1901-04). The manuscript fragment (as opposed to a musical quotation) is marked by Vaughan Williams Allegro alla marcia, and would appear to be associated with the composer's composition The Vagabond from his song cycle Songs of Travel, inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson's poems of the same name, the manuscript being the opening three bars of the piano accompaniment. Penned over two staves and marked in the original key of C minor. With two slightly irregularly clipped pieces, the first bearing the title '('The Vagabond')' in the composer's hand and the second bearing his signature ('R. Vaughan Williams'), both neatly laid down to the upper and lower margins of the fragment. The two clipped pieces may have been excised from a letter which originally accompanied the manuscript. Neatly inlaid. About VG Songs of Travel represented Vaughan Williams's first major foray into song-writing, The Vagabond introducing the traveller, with heavy marching chords in the piano that depict a rough journey through the English countryside.
