Charles Edward Dixon (British, 1872-1934)HMS Queen Elizabeth leading other capital ships of the fleet 'in line ahead' signed and dated 'Charles Dixon/1915' (lower left)oil on canvas45.7 x 66cm (18 x 26in).Footnotes:ProvenanceCollection of P.M. JonesChristie's, London, 18th December 1964, lot 195. Sold for £31.10 (30 gns). ExhibitedBelieved to be exhibit 1265 at the Royal Academy, London in 1915 entitled 'In line ahead'; unfortunately, the RA is unable to confirm the dimensions of the exhibit. Named for 'Good Queen Bess' in whose reign the Armada had been defeated, HMS Queen Elizabeth was the name-ship of the five 'Queen Elizabeth' class of battleships ordered in 1912-13, all of which were completed in time to play major roles in the Great War. Not only was the class the first to mount 15-in. guns and to be able to steam at 24 knots, it was also the first to be equipped with oil-fired boilers thus signalling the beginning of the end of the coal-burning era at sea. Laid down at Portsmouth and launched in October 1913, Queen Elizabeth was commissioned just before Christmas 1914 and joined the Mediterranean Fleet in February 1915 as Flagship to the East Mediterranean Squadron. Employed in the Dardanelles and in support of the ill-fated Gallipoli landings, she transferred into the Grand Fleet in May 1915 where she remained until 1919. Fleet Flagship to Admiral Beatty from 1916-19, the historic surrender of the German High Seas Fleet was effected aboard her on 21st November 1918. Flagship of the Atlantic Fleet from 1919-24 and again, briefly, in 1929, she spent most of the inter-war years in the Mediterranean and was refitting when War broke out in 1939. She rejoined the Home Fleet early in 1941, but after being badly damaged by limpet mines in Alexandria that December, she had then to be docked until June 1943 such was the scale of repairs required. Ordered to the Far East in December 1943, she saw extensive action there until sent home in July 1945, after which she was placed in Reserve until scrapped in 1948.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Montague Dawson (British, 1890-1973)Smugglers' Baysigned 'MONTAGUE DAWSON' (lower left) oil on canvas 101.6 x 127cm (40 x 50in).painted in 1971.Footnotes:This work was published as a signed artist's limited edition print under the title of 'Pieces of Eight' (Venture Prints Ltd, 1971, edition of 500).ProvenanceWith Frost & Reed, London, no. 46509 (acquired directly from the artist 26 January 1971).Harry W Bass Jr, Texas (acquired from the above 21 July 1971).With W.J. Morpill Ltd., Dallas, Texas.This impressive work belongs to Dawson's much sought-after Caribbean and Pacific Island series of paintings, of which a small number have come to auction in recent years. These works are unique in that they run contrary to Dawson's primary reputation for depictions of the elegant commercial sailing ships of the 19th century, the high-octane world of yacht racing in the early/mid-20th century and the military craft of the war years, himself having served in the Royal Navy during the First World War. This series offer an insight into the excitement that the artist took from all aspects of the nautical world, not just the historical past and the present, but also folklore and the tales associated with the 17th century heyday of buccaneers patrolling Caribbean and Pacific waters. Stories of this nature would have been brought to the fore of one's imagination during Dawson's lifetime through the popularisation of the subject in cinema. The present work is the only moonlit example from this series, with others being in the intense glare of the midday sun. The moonlight provides the perfect setting for the pirates' clandestine activities; as we can see, their booty is being brought ashore, inspected, and prepared for stashing. Although we cannot be certain of the location, we do know that Dawson painted both the Cocos Island and Gorgona Island in this series and it therefore seems plausible that this treasure is being buried in one of these locations. The Cocos Island being the centre of the greatest deal of speculation and excitement during the period, with rumours of vast hoards of treasure having been buried here and never found.The present work was published as a signed limited-edition print under the title of 'Pieces of Eight' (Venture Prints Ltd, 1971, edition of 500). The title of the print conjures images of Robert Louis Stephenson's 'Treasure Island' and the main protagonist Long John Silver and his parrot, Captain Flint. Captain Flint being remembered for the repetition of the phrase 'Pieces of eight! Pieces of eight!' – this being a reference to the Spanish silver dollar which would often be cut into eight pieces in order that change could be provided.It is clear that this was a significant work to the artist. The scale is grand, and the level of finish is exceptionally high. The glow emulating from the party's lanterns, and reflection from those situated on their ship in the bay, have been expertly crafted to create an ambience of both serenity and excitement. We know that Dawson visited the Pacific and Caribbean on a number of occasions, and it is therefore very likely that the depiction of the topography and flora are based on first-hand accounts and sketches. Leonard Ramsey's acclaimed book on Dawson gives a description of the artist's handling of his subjects, a description that can certainly be applied to this work:'His brushwork, though free, is never careless and his colours are graded with discipline and restraint. This all contributes to the feeling of spaciousness and harmony which is the mark of a Montague Dawson'[1][1] L.G.G Ramsey, Montague Dawson R.S.M.A., F.R.S.A., Leigh-on-Sea, 1967, p. 16.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * AR* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.AR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
