An Alexander McQueen 'Hieronymus Bosch' weave dress, 'Angels & Demons' collection, Autumn-Winter, 2010-11, labelled and size 38, with inner black silk chemise corset, the exterior of jacquard woven silk, the design taken from elements of three paintings by Hieronymus Bosch, within panels of black silk with intricate gold sequined traceries, with cartridge pleated satin skirt, bust 86cm, 34in; with original shop tag and bag of extra sequins (2)This very strong design statement from McQueen's last collection reflects his interest in the macabre and his love of Old Master paintings.'I relate to that cold, austere asceticism of the Flemish masters, and I also love the macabre thing you see in Tudor and Jacobean portraiture' (Savage Beauty, Metropolitan Museum catalogue, and full page illustration, pp92,93)In an interview with his mother in 2004, McQueen declared, that his favourite artworks were those of 15th century Flemish and Dutch painters, 'because of the colours, because of the sympathetic way they approached life...I think they were very modern for their times'.Decorative print elements for this dress were carefully chosen from three of Hieronymus Bosch's paintings - all depicting monstrous scenes from hell. Great care was taken to select and merge motifs from different Bosch paintings on the main front bodice panel. The iconography taken from the paintings are as follows - 'The Garden of Heavenly Delights' (c.1500) with a large pink bagpipe (using music as a form of punishment) the motif humorously located on the lower back panel above the skirt, as well as a bird swallowing a man on the front bodice; 'The Temptation of St Anthony' (c.1501) - a fish dressed as a cardinal used on the front bodice; and a woman peeping from a tree (lower front panel above skirt); 'The Last Judgement' (c.1482 or later) - a speared egg on legs, a body slithering with snakes and a dragon peering into a barrel with a cowering figure barrel - all used on the main back panel.The black scale-effect sequined tracery is redolent of Renaissance embossed velvet patterns, the rich gold leaf of illuminated manuscripts or the gold threads used in finely worked orphrey panels.It is only upon close inspection that it is noticed that the dress whilst undeniably beautiful, incorporates individual design elements intended to caution and admonish potential sinners. This model is also illustrated full page in 'Alexander McQueen' V&A publications, p164.This was look no 2 in the show. CONDITION REPORT: Good condition, looks unworn, slight fraying to fabric to zip closure in one small place (minor)

HENRY VIII: (1491-1547) King of England 1509-47. A fine D.S., Henry R, (a good, bold example) as King, at the head, one page (vellum), oblong folio, Westminster, 30th October 1533. The manuscript warrant is addressed to Baron Windsor, Keeper of the Great Wardrobe, and orders him to deliver clothing to John Berwick, Richard Bolton, William Hammond and Thomas Maxson, the 'children of our lease' [leash], each to receive 'oon Dublet of chamlet…any dublet….lyned with fustyan and Canvas….three shyrthendy shyrte….made with draught worke….a gowne of fowre brode yardes of woollen cloth….to bee finred with yrisshe lambe….thre peyre of hosen….fowre peyre of doble soled shoes (or eight peyres of single-soled)…oon hatte…five brace of colers, fowre cheynes of the best…[and]…thre leases'. With a blind embossed paper signet seal at the foot. A very small printed identification slip is neatly affixed at the base. Some extremely minor overall creasing and very light dust staining and two very slight traces of former mounting to the verso, otherwise a clean and attractive document overall, about VG Andrews Windsor (1467-1543) English Nobleman, Keeper of the Great Wardrobe from 1504 until his death. King Henry VIII's household was the home for many animals and pets (he kept ferrets, his first wife Catherine of Aragon owned a monkey; canaries and nightingales could be found in ornamental birdcages hanging in the windows at Hampton Court) however it was his dogs, particularly beagles, spaniels and greyhounds, that the King considered his favourites. As illustrated by the present document, the monarch's dogs were adorned with decorative collars of velvet (permitted only to Royal dogs) and the Royal leash boys were equally handsomely attired. King Henry VIII regularly sent dogs (all garnished with a good iron collar) as gifts to foreign leaders. It has been recorded that some sixty-five dog leashes were found in the King's closet upon his death. Henry VIII was the second monarch of the Tudor dynasty and has been described as 'one of the most charismatic rulers to sit on the English throne'. The monarch notably initiated the English Reformation, thereby greatly expanding royal power, and the scale and complexities of his legacy are such that, in their work Henry VIII in History (2012) Betteridge and Freeman state 'throughout the centuries [since his death] Henry has been praised and reviled, but he has never been ignored'. Provenance: Formerly part of the Enys Collection of Autographs and Manuscripts.
