Fanny Mary Minns (aka Frances Mary Minns) 1847-1929 - Isle Of Wight born artist. An incredible unseen sketchbook of studies by Minns. The inner board signed ' FM Minns -Edinboro August 1900 '. The book features several finished and unfinished sketches, largely annotated by Minns noting where and who they are of. Sketches of note include; Holy Loch, Lay's Yard Colchester, On Cowes Pontoon (studies of people), Court Chapel Dresden, Leopold Vienna, Hungarian Shepherd and many others. Some coloured. A charming and rare artist's sketch book. Fanny Mary Minns, was born at Node Hill, Carisbrooke, Isle of Wight, Hampshire in 1847, sixth and youngest child of William Minns, partner in the dry cleaning and dyeing business of Bright and Minns, and his wife Mary née Bright, who married at Niton, Hampshire on 28 March 1836. The dying business lasted for some 164 years and allowed Fanny, the luxury of training as an artist. In 1851, a 4 year old, living at Node Hill, Carisbrooke, Isle of Wight with her parents, 57 year old William of Southampton and 38 year old Mary, and five siblings, Jane 13, William 12, Charles 10, Walter 8 and Kate 6, all born at Newport. It seems probable that Fanny received painting lessons from Ellen Cantelo (c.1825-1898) of Carisbrooke, who made her living as an artist. As the Royal Academy in London was closed to women until 1862 Fanny proceeded to Dresden Art Academy and she established herself as a teacher of painting. Her father died in 1852 and Fanny continued to reside with her widowed mother on the Isle of Wight. Working in watercolour she produced a huge number of local landscapes, working 'al fresco' to capture the immediacy of light and colour. She also did hasty sketches for further work in her studio and her continental travels certainly took her to Switzerland where Alpine scenes, including the Matterhorn are among her works. A member of the Ipswich Art Club 1889-1890 and exhibited from Glen Cottage, Isle of Wight in 1889, three pictures, 'Roses', 'In the New Forest, Sunset' and 'Alpine Anemones' she also exhibited two items of earthenware but she exhibited widely, including the Birmingham Art Gallery, the Walker Gallery in Liverpool, the Royal Society of British Artists and the Society of Women Artists. As well as teaching painting, Fanny received commissions to illustrate books from several publishers, including for 'The Silence of Dean Maitland', by local author Maxwell Gray (Mary Gleed Tuttiett), and illustrated 'Romance of the Hill Station and Other Stories' by Mrs H S Lerverton and Mary's landscapes caught the attention of Ruddock and Co, providing views of the Island and Dorset in the 'Artist' series of postcards. In 1911, she held an exhibition of her work at the Unity Hall in Newport where she displayed 110 paintings. Mary travelled in search of new subjects until the end of her life. She was of Langsnek, Medina Avenue, Newport when she died Ryde, Isle of Wight on 11 May 1929, aged 82, and buried beside her mother at Mountjoy Cemetery in Carisbrooke, she was unmarried. She is sometimes recorded as Frances but her birth and death records are Fanny. (From www,suffolkartists.co.uk/index.cgi?choice=painter&pid=1909)

A rare 1870 Copeland Aesop's Fables plate ' Ya Bear & Ya Beas ' Made by Copeland Potteries Staffordshire, England having Impressed marks verso and date lozenge. A bear came across a log where a swarm of bees had nested to make their honey. As he snooped around, a single little bee flew out of the log to protect the swarm. Knowing that the bear would eat all the honey, the little bee stung him sharply on the nose and flew back into the log. This flew the bear into an angry rage. He swatted at the log with his big claws, determined to destroy the nest of bees inside. This only alerted the bees and quick as a wink, the entire swarm of bees flew out of the log and began to sting the bear from head to heel. The bear saved himself by running to and diving into the nearest pond. The Moral of the Story:It is better to bear a single injury in silence than to bring about a thousand by reacting in anger.
