(16 x 71cm.); together with a souvenir poster for the Regiment D`Art rie Pontonniers dated 1887 Ñ 20 x 14in. (51 x 35.5cm.) framed and glazed, (2) A crucial, but largely unrecognised part of Napoleon`s military machine, the specially-created Regiment de Pontonniers gave the Emperor a military edge by allowing him to outflank his enemies, being particularly useful in his retreat from Russia in 1812, saving the pitifully few survivors from certain death. By negating the need to march to established bridges, this Corps were able to establish temporary pontoon bridges in advance of the army`s arrival at strategic points in a river. Originally developed by General Jean-Baptiste Eble who took on a rabble of Rhine boatmen, he taught them to construct a bridge of up to eighty pontoons some 150 meters long in under seven hours. Although they were not lauded publicly by the Emperor, he regarded his Pontonniers enough to have no less than fourteen companies of them in his armies. All materials were carried in the Pontonniers` wagon train of which this lot is a rare and early example.
Lot 2
A Caughley oval baking dish, circa 1780-90, boldly printed in blue with the Pleasure Boat pattern within a cell diaper and spear head rim, impressed `P` to base, 28.8cm wide See Godden`s Guide to English Blue and White Porcelain published by The Antiques Collectors Club 2004 (hereafter referred to within the text as EB &WP) where he notes on page 440 that `A few rare markings should be noted. Impressed letters such as a capital P can occur on large dishes, although size numbers do not seem to have been used`. For a similar example see C & W P plate 87, from the authors collection and noted as being made in several different sizes. See also Caughley Bicentenary Exhibition 1999(hereafter referred to as CBE) catalogue no. 399 in the Weir pattern, CBE catalogue no. 359 in the Pleasure Boat pattern and CBE catalogue no. 413 in the Willow Nankin pattern.

According to the vendor the present lot is ex Godden Reference Collection. For a discussion of this rare pattern see Caughley Society Newsletter 34 June 2008, no. 34. titled `Gardens, Tables and Vases` by Maurice Wright. In the article he distinguishes between the Garden Floral pattern which is `painted and very rare` and The Garden Table pattern which is printed. Although Rev. Wright suggests in this article that the Garden Floral pattern may not be Caughley, the presence of the S mark on this lot would suggest otherwise. An example of the Garden Table pattern was sold in these rooms on 25th May 2005 lot no. 33.

Although the fishing line is slightly wiggly, this is certainly found on Caughley and is not only a Worcester characteristic. The whiteness of the body and glaze guarantee the Caughley origin - Worcester would be very blued. A rare object.` See C & W P page 95 where Godden notes that `When decorated with the Fisherman or Pleasure Boat design, the price was 8d for the high egg `stand``. See also CBE catalogue nos. 332 and 347 for very similar pieces in the same pattern. The Caughley Society Newsletter, February 2010, no. 41 illustrates a similar example which was sold at Wright Manley in December 2009.

Within this list they are described as `Ink stands, double Nankeen border`. Godden illustrates a very similar example without an integral liner to the well in plate 127, pg 235.
