[§] JOHN DUNCAN FERGUSSON R.B.A. (SCOTTISH 1874-1961) PORTRAIT STUDY Conté on coloured paper 14cm x 12cm (5.5in x 4.75in) Note: John Duncan Fergusson was the most international and political of the four Scottish Colourists. The selection of works by him offered in this sale chart some of the interesting early developments of his career. Largely self-taught as an artist, Fergusson was originally based in Edinburgh, and developed his painterly and observation skills on the sights and population of the capital. At this time, he often worked on a small, portable scale, and on board for ease of transport. Fergusson's flâneur approach to life and painting translated perfectly to Paris, when he decided to move to this artistic centre in 1907. It is from this period that many of his characteristic elegant conté sketches of the figures of Parisian café culture date, as Fergusson participated in this scene and captured the personalities he met and observed there - the elegant ladies in elaborate hats, suited and moustachioed gentleman, even musicians with their instruments.

SAMUEL JOHN PEPLOE R.S.A. (SCOTTISH 1871-1935) BARRA Oil on panel 25.5cm x 31cm (10in x 12in) with a study of a mother and child verso Provenance:Wemyss Honeyman Collection Private Collection, Scotland 1998 Note:It has been variously suggested that this study was painted in 1898 and 1903. Peploe first travelled to the Isle of Barra in the Outer Hebrides in 1894, staying in the studio of his friend Robert Cowan Robertson, and returning on further occasions until 1903. He was accompanied on these trips by his brother W. W. Peploe who was also an artist but better remembered as a poet. Both were inspired by the great beauty of the tiny island, particularly the perfect horseshoe of Castlebay with its stone buildings huddled together against the Atlantic elements, including the tower of the picturesquely titled Church of Our Lady Star. On these trips Peploe worked en plein air and always on a small scale; painting directly onto wooden panels. These works are early in his career, and are astonishing in their modernism. The technique itself is notable - swiftly executed to convey a sense of the wind buffeting the waves in the bay and shaking the grasses on the hills, daubed in fluid, darting brushwork of un-mixed colour and glossy impasto. The style is extraordinary and wild; verging on Post-Impressionism in a manner no other British artist was practising at the time. As historian and critic Duncan MacMillan noted in reference to this particular picture, "There is nothing quite like it in contemporary British art and little enough in France either… it is quite clear from the patterns of brushwork that somewhere Peploe has seen and understood Van Gogh's painting." This early exposure to the great French artist was possibly a result of Peploe's relationship with Alexander Reid, the Glaswegian art dealer and friend of the Van Gogh brothers. Works such as this provide a fascinating and exciting insight into Peploe's development. Even as early as 1894 he was painting in an extremely avant-garde and experimental fashion; on the cusp of developing his friendship with J. D. Fergusson and heading to Paris. His role as an artistic pioneer cannot be overstated.

Commanded by John Barry, the Lexington sailed down the Delaware River and slipped passed the British blockade on the 6th April. The following day she engaged the British sloop Edward and after an hours engagement, the Edward surrendered her colours. Lexington, together with Reprisal sailed down the Delaware to Cape May, joining the Wasp and Hornet, but were prevented escaping out to sea by HMS Liverpool. On the 28th June the brig Nancy arrived with 386 barrels of gunpowder aboard but ran aground while attempting to evade the British blockade ship Kingfisher. Barry ordered that the gunpowder be removed to shore overnight leaving only 100 barrels aboard for the morning. A time delay fuse was lit which ignited the ship just as a number of British soldiers were boarding her, this action became known as the battle of Turtle Gut Inlet.* Biography Donald McNarry FRSA (1921-2010) is widely acknowledged among model ship builders as the master craftsman of extreme miniature model building. Born in Walthamstow, February 21st, 1921 he took up model building as a boy and began entering competitions at the age of nine, winning several prizes at the annual Model Engineer Exhibition. In an early letter to the judges he expressed his dismay that his models were to be categorised as 'junior' rather than be judged against the 'proper' ship models. After serving with the Gordon Highlanders during the Second World War he continued to make models in his spare time, describing many of the models made between 1946 and 1953 in his first published book 'Shipbuilding in Miniature ' in 1955. It was also at this time he changed from 'amateur' model builder to freelance professional model maker, creating over 350 models of historic ships from 700BC to the late 1960s. Working in either 100ft to one inch or 16ft to one inch, the models though small, contained as much detail as others executed on larger scales. Donald's wife Iris often helped with early models producing the sails and Donald even used strands of his own hair for rigging on these models before thinner wires and filaments became available. He was a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. Examples of his work can be found in the Royal Collection, but he was particularly sought after by American Collectors and modellers. Some of his models can be seen at The Peabody Essex Museum, The Smithsonian and the Mariner's Museum. The quality and detail of his work is perhaps best acknowledged by his overall attitude as described in his own words in the introduction of his first book;'I believe one of the most important things is to try and build miniature ships instead of ship models'
