After Michelangelo Merisi Da Caravaggio (1571-1610) Continental School 18th/19th century-`The Card Sharps`, large scale oil on canvas, bears an indistinct signature bottom left, three old wax seals applied verso, 99x137cm (3ft 3inx4ft 6in), inset large and ornate 19th century Florentine carved and gilded frame. NB: Caravaggio`s original was among his most popular and influential compositions and was painted circa 1594, it was acquired by Caravaggio`s most important patron, Cardinal Francesco Maria del Monte (1549-1626), for the Poalazzo Madama in Rome. The card game depicted is Primiera, it was one of the most popular gambling games of the period, and an ancestor of the modern poker. It was played with only forty cards, but the aim of the game was very similar. Only four cards are dealt to each of the players and there are only four combinations, a Primiera (one card of each suit), Supremus (6,7,Ace of the same suit), Fluxus (four cards of the same suit) and a Chorus (four of a kind). The game is otherwise decided by Face points, as in Poker (illustrated)

Thomas Snagg (1746-1812) VIEW OF CLONTARF CASTLE, 1805 oil on canvas signed and dated lower right 60.96 by 91.44cm., 24 by 36in. L "Stackallan House Co. Meath Sale, Christie`s, 20 October, 1992, lot 197; Private collection This rare Thomas Snagg oil painting places its main feature- Clontarf Castle - on the left-hand side of the picture, a characteristic also found in the works of his exact contemporary William Ashford who had dominated Irish landscape painting for a quarter of a century before Snagg put brush to canvas here in 1805. The castle stands on the site of the Norman fortress built around 1200 by the Knights Templar and the tower at the right-hand end of the building may be part of a later medieval commandery of the Knights Hospitallers to whom the property was transferred in the 14th century. The remainder of the castle seen in Snagg`s canvas is probably a creation of the later18th century; one of the earliest examples of the Neo-Gothic style in Ireland, and the predecessor of the present Tudor-Revival structure designed by William Vitruvius Morrison in 1836. A closer view of 1772 by Gabriel Beranger, of which there is a watercolour copy in the National Library, shows out the Gothic fenestration more clearly. In 1998, Sotheby`s auctioned for £40,000 a sketch of the castle of around 1817, allegedly by the famous English painter J.M.W. Turner, which was apparently copied from an original by Maria Sophie Vernon. She was a member of the family which had been in residence since the mid-17th century - the builders of the structure painted by Snagg - and whose name is still attached to the various roads in the vicinity. It is doubtless they or their guests feature in the charming vignette in the bottom of the picture, seen on the horse-drawn carriage at the top of the road leading down to the sea.The right half of the picture gives a break in the foliage to reveal a splendid vista of Dublin Bay, reaching as far as the two Sugarloaves - Dunleary (afterwards, Kingstown and later Dún Laoghaire) before its harbour was built. A notable feature is the South Wall, finished in 1786, and extending from Ringsend (out of sight) past the Pidgeon house out to the old Poolbeg Lighthouse which helped guide shipping up the River to the Custom House, completed only fourteen years before Snagg`s panorama was created. A most unexpected, and rather fanciful, feature of the picture is the series of houses and other buildings presented at such a scale as to be almost Lilliputian, and placed along the shore where there were probably slobs at the time, a plan to reclaim which was prepared in the year of the painting, 1805. Snagg, thrice married, was born in London and became a successful actor, performing with David Garrick at Drury Lane. He took up painting around the mid-1770s and travelled as far as St. Petersburg, where he painted Empress Catherine the Great. On his return journey, Robespierre arrested him and his family in northern France, where he was held captive for more than a year - an ordeal he recorded in a print in the British Museum.In 1804, twelve months before he painted Clontarf, Snagg exhibited four landscapes at Allen`s in Dame Street, one of which may have been the view of Dublin Bay seen from the University Rowing Club in Ringsend now in the National Gallery of Ireland, and which - like the Clontarf picture - has the main building on the left-hand side of the painting.Dr. Peter HarbisonHonorary Academic Editor, Royal Irish AcademyFebruary, 2012

Ordnance Survey. Report on the Ordnance Survey of the United Kingdom for 1855-56, 27 pp., twenty-nine plates including maps that depict the progress of six-inch to a mile map coverage in Ireland, England/Wales and Scotland, plus numerous specimen plates demonstrating the effectivness of electrotype and photographic reductions, bound with Report on the Ordnance Survey Commission; together with Minutes of Evidence, 1858, five engraved plates incl. four folding, bound with Report of the Progress of the Ordnance Survey and Topographical Depot, to the 31st December 1858, and similar reports for the years ending 1860-1872, all reports containing folding engraved maps showing the progress of work in Ireland, England/Wales and Scotland, all works bound into two volumes, contemp. cloth, one cover detached, folio (340 x 210 mm). Rare on the market. In 1855 the Ordnance Survey had just emerged from a state of transition having been newly placed under War Office administration and with a new Inspector-General of Fortifications in Lieutenant-Colonel Henry James. The introduction to the first report in this lot, which was the very first detailed report on the Ordnance Survey presented to Parliament, lists the recent achievements of the Ordnance Survey including the six-inch to a mile mapping of Ireland completed in 1846. The Irish maps Ôhaving proved to be of such great value to the public for such numerous purposes not originally contemplated` led to the continuation of the six-inch project to Scotland and Northern England which, together with the production of one-inch maps and 1/2500 (just over 25 inches to a mile) scale maps for urban areas, meant that the Ordnance Survey was fully stretched at this time. Much of the first report therefore proposes a number of recommendations to save time and labour including a new process for producing photographically reduced one-inch maps from six-inch maps, the production of electrotypes which were exact copies of the original copper plates produced to preserve the original, and developments in printed colour (hand colouring was done by boys of 13 and 14 years old for between sixpence and a shilling a day). There are specimens of many of these proposed production methods contained within the first report and the subsequent reports each contain maps depicting the growing level of coverage. (2)
