John Henry Campbell (1757-1839)A View of the Dargle, Tinnehinch and Powerscourt, County WicklowSigned and dated 1825Oil on canvas, 71.5 x 93cm (28¼ x 36½") This unusually large and ambitious work by John Henry Campbell shows the famed landscape of Tinnehinch in County Wicklow which had been admired by Arthur Young in 1776: ‘Returning to Tinnyhinch I went to Inniskerry [sic], and gained by this detour, in my return to go to the Dargle, a beautiful view which I should otherwise have lost. The road runs on the edge of a declivity from whence there is a most pleasing prospect of the river’s course through the vale and past the wood of Power’s Court, which here appear in large masses of dark shade, and the whole bounded by mountains’. Campbell shows both Tinnehinch and, in this distance, Richard Castle’s great house of Powerscourt with its flanking towers crowned by their copper domes. The Wicklow hills in the distance are framed between two repoussoir clumps of trees, while travellers, goats and cattle add variety to the foreground. Tinnehinch had long been appreciated for its scenic qualities. It was painted by Jonathan Fisher (Fota, County Cork) and twice by Thomas Roberts (private collection and Crawford Art Gallery, Cork). However after funds were voted by the Irish parliament to Henry Grattan to acquire an estate in the river valley, national and political resonances quickly adhered to the site, and this was particularly marked after the Act of Union dashed Grattan’s hopes for an independent Irish parliament. When Campbell’s daughter Cecilia Margaret exhibited a view of Tinnehinch at the Royal Hibernian Academy it was described as ‘looking towards Mr Grattan’s house’. A related watercolour by Campbell dated 1801 shows a similar disposition between the two houses and is inscribed by the artist ‘‘Tenehinch [sic] & Powerscourt from the Dargle’. Born in Herefordshire in 1757, Campbell moved to Dublin at an early age where his father, Richard, worked, and ultimately formed a partnership with the leading printing firm Graisbery’s. In 1802 Graisberry & Campbell was appointed printer to the Dublin Society, printing its county surveys, a suggestive counterpart to John Henry’s visual mapping of Ireland, and particularly Wicklow’s topography. Campbell studied at the Dublin Society Schools and initially seems to have been a versatile practitioner working as a scene painter, caricaturist as well as painting portraits. Soon however, he settled down to paint the Irish landscape in oil and more frequently watercolour. Early works include a drawing in the National Gallery of Ireland which is dated 1793 while in 1800 he exhibited a drawing, Moonlight, at William Allen’s Map and Print Warehouse, at 32 Dame Street Dublin. The following year, from an address of 13 Trinity Street, he showed two landscapes drawings at the Society of Artists in Ireland at Parliament House. He continued to exhibit in Dublin, at the Society of Artists and at the inaugural show of the Royal Hibernian Academy in 1826. Campbell painted scenes all over Ireland including Killarney and Wicklow but also Lough Erne and Dunluce Castle, County Antrim. Having connections with Dublin printers since childhood, it does not surprise that he also worked for publishers. His drawing of the new Sarah Bridge, at Islandbridge, featured in J Ferrar’s Views of Ancient and Modern Dublin (1797). Strickland writes ‘Campbell’s works are pleasing and well painted, and as an artist, he ranks high among contemporary Irish painters’.

Wonderfully restored first generation 240Z, Datsun's 1970's flagship, looking as good today as it ever did. The Datsun 240Z was unveiled to the press in October 1969 and made its public appearance a few days later at the Tokyo Motor Show. To say it was well received would be an understatement, with its stylish modernity, well set-out interior and torquey six-cylinder engine.As had become apparent during its creation, the Datsun 240Z represented all the requirements of sporting drivers by fulfilling their desires for superb styling, power and safety whilst providing them with the most thrilling and enjoyable ride available in any car at the time. According to Classic and Sportscar, the 'Z' was 'In a different technical league' whilst Road and Track Magazine noted 'Datsun have reinvented the sports car with the sleek, civilised, sexy and sporty 240Z'.The new car was powered by a lusty 2.4-litre, straight-six, overhead cam engine developing around 150bhp, resulting in a 0-60mph time of eight seconds and a top speed of 125mph. The well spaced 5-speed gear ratios made the most of the engine's torque whilst retaining the ability to achieve in excess of 30mpg, a figure that put the 'Z' ahead of many of its contemporaries and on a par with Porsche 911s of the time. The car featured independent suspension all round, with MacPherson struts at the front and Chapman links at the rear. Rack and pinion steering and front disc brakes meant that the 240Z was a thoroughly modern package.As time passed, the 240Z evolved into the 260Z and later the 280Z, however it's the original 240Z that continues to captivate enthusiasts with its timeless elegance and minimalist design. The 240Z not only established Datsun (now Nissan) as a credible Japanese sports car brand in the early 1970s but also solidified its presence on the American automotive map. Today, the 240Z holds a special place in the hearts of enthusiasts and collectors alike, representing the epitome of the Japanese classic car.Dating from late 1972, although first registered in 1973, the 240Z we present here has been subject to a sympathetic, photo-documented, bare-metal restoration by its long term owner, retaining as many original parts as possible. It now presents in, what we believe is, Grigio Silverstone, with a black leather and needle cord interior, an impressive engine bay and refurbished Wolfrace alloys. Our vendor states that 'after 20 years of ownership that there are no gremlins anywhere, it is and has always been garaged, fully Waxoyled, matching numbers and a comprehensive history dating back to the 1970s'.Worthy of a space in any Collection or enthusiast's hands, whether as a confidence-inspiring driver or a simply stunning showpiece, this 240Z represents the perfect opportunity to own what is one of the finest examples we have seen for some time.Specification Make: DATSUN Model: 240Z Year: 1972 Chassis Number: HS30102522 Registration Number: UYE 909M Transmission: Manual Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 45239 Miles Make: RHDClick here for more details and images
