British Isles. Desgranges (Christain name is unknown), La Carte des Royaumes, d'Angleterre, d'Ecosse et d'Irlande, dediée a sa Majesté Britannique..., Paris, 1689, separately published engraved map by Capitaine Roussel, contemporary outline colouring, inset maps of the English Channel and of the Shetland, Orkney and Faroe Islands, large uncoloured ornate cartouche and mileage scale, 455 x 570 mmQty: (1)Footnote: R.W.Shirley. Printed Maps of the British Isles 1650 - 1750, Desgranges 1. state 1. Desgranges was a little known French mapmaker and no record exists of his Christian name, nor the dates of his birth or death. This map was separately published and Shirley notes at least six different states. This example matches Shirley's description of state 1 in that it has the signature of Roussel who engraved the map but it lacks that of Dolivart. This would appear to be an unrecorded variation of state 1. The date is significant. 1689 was the year that Louis XIV declared war on England in support of the deposed Catholic King James II. The three figures on the right of the cartouche represent James, his wife Mary and their infant son. The text beneath the inset map of the Faroe, Orkney and Shetland islands lists the English possessions in the Americas, the West Indies, Africa and Asia.

Carlyle (Thomas, 1795-1881). Author, biographer and historian. Autograph Letter Signed, ’T. Carlyle’, Chelsea, 17 September 1857, to [Reverend Charles] Kingsley, concerning an unidentified person, beginning, ‘Fear nothing on that score. The poor blind "Propagandist" (as you fancy him) produced no change whatever in my notions about Sumner, whom I have known for a long time by eyesight of my own; – not about American matters in my department of them; which indeed, with their uncle-tommaries and Californian nuggets, with their angry crawlings, semi-delirious speculations, and general tumult as of a weir about to burst, seem to me a thoroughly sordid object on the great scale, and do not interest or occupy my thoughts at all in late times. In fact the poor man did not do me any mischief whatever, – except perhaps stealing away in all, some six hours of the last remainder of my time; for who however, in return, he offered me the pleasant spectacle of a human soul happy and content under very scanty conditions. There is a small vein of excellent geniality in the man; – a noticeable resemblance to Leigh Hunt in him, which, encased such an element of alluvial Methodism, and general yo Yankee-doodle-do-ism much amused me by the contrasts and similarities’, continuing in the same vein and then dwelling on his own sense of mortality, ‘… If I can keep alive, on the given terms, for about a year more, I expect to be partly out of it. He will be a cunning fellow that will get me into another like it! …’, some age wear and overall spotting, old tape adhesion streak along inner margin of first page with some see-through affecting words at inner margin of verso, 4 pages with the end of the letter written upside down at head of first page above place and date, ink smudge not affecting signature, 8voQty: (1)Footnote: Provenance: By family descent from the estate of Lady Mary Colyer-Fergusson (1871-1964) of Ightham Mote, Kent; and gifted to her by Mary Harrison in 1930. Mary Harrison (1852-1931), the daughter of Charles Kingsley, and herself the author of best-selling novels in the 1920s.Charles Kingsley (1819-1875) novelist, Church of England clergyman and social reformer was influenced by Carlyle and became a leading spirit in the Christian socialist movement of 1848-54. Charles Sumer (1811-1874) was an American statesman, United States Senator and a champion of civil and political equality.

§ JOHN BRATBY (BRITISH 1928-1992) UNTITLED (FOR 'THE HORSE'S MOUTH'), 1958 Oil on board(180cm x 240cm (71in x 94.5in))Provenance: Purchased directly from the artist; purchased privately by present ownerFootnote: Note: “He lends his talent to the tradition of English artists, from William Blake to Stanley Spencer, who wanted to connect the visionary with the vulgar” - Criterion Bratby was the brilliant, if problematic, breakout star of the so-called ‘Kitchen Sink’ or “New Realist” artistic genre; a movement born out of the grey rubble and grinding drabness of post war Britain which encompassed painting, film and literature. Whilst studying at the prestigious Royal College of Art in the early 1950s, his teacher Carel Weight described him as the most talented student he had ever had. Fame came swiftly and explosively to Bratby (buoyed by the public’s fascination with rumours of his unconventional and bohemian personal life), and soon after graduation he became a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy as well as the recipient of one-man exhibitions with Beaux Arts Gallery, London. In 1956 he represented Britain at the Venice Biennale. In 1958, the same year the artist shared the British Guggenheim Award with Ben Nicholson, Bratby was commissioned to produce large scale paintings for the film The Horses Mouth based on Joyce Cary's novel. Alec Guinness played Gully Jimson, an eccentric figurative painter, with Guinness taking direct inspiration for the role from Bratby, who he observed at work in his studio. Guinness went on to win Best Actor at the Venice International Film Festival for his role. The present work is part of a group of paintings associated with the film and the following solo exhibition which was held in New York at The French Gallery on 987 Madison Avenue; Bratby's first in New York. It bears close similarities with the piece ‘The Greenhouse’, sold in Christie’s in 2020. It is on the large scale typical of this period, and features the artist’s trademark lurid colour palette, heavy impasto and focus on the textures and patterns of the urban and architectural environment; from the red terracotta floor tiles to the bricking of the terrace walls, which take compositional precedence over mother, child and dog seen receding into the left of the painting. It is perhaps no wonder he attracted the attention of a film producer, as his work has a strikingly cinematic, almost fisheye lens panoramic perspective. Despite remaining a prolific painter (attracting the great and the good to his studio in their droves), and later also a writer, this first decade of his career arguably remains the zenith of his achievements, and it is with great pleasure that Lyon & Turnbull present this scarce example of the period to market. “In conclusion I would say that I do not love people. In fact I may lean to misanthropy, though people fascinate me. And I’ve devoted most of my Painting Life to them. After all they are what life is about.” – John Bratby.

§ DAVID MACH H.R.S.A., R.A. (SCOTTISH b.1956-) HEAD Signed and dated '98 on label below chin, matchsticks on a metal base(16cm x 18cm x 11cm (6.25in x 7in x 4.25in))Footnote: Note: David Mach was born in Fife and studied at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, Dundee and the Royal College of Art, London. As well as this rigorous artistic training, time spent working on the factory floor and in industrial yards would exert a significant influence in the direction of his artistic output, which was generally realised on an extremely large-scale utilising repeats of ordinary everyday objects. In an interview with the Royal Academy, Mach recalled that ‘in the 1980s I was creating massive installations made up of thousands of magazines. At one show, a guy came up to me and said he had always wanted to buy my work but never could because it was too big;’ on reflection, ‘that was an epiphany for me.’ From then on Mach has worked across scales, still generating ambitious large-scale commissions but also much smaller, more accessible pieces like the Matchhead series. The sculpture Head is a multi-coloured, patterned skull made up of coloured, unstruck matchsticks, probably sourced from Japan. The ordinariness of the component objects, in this case the matchsticks, but often also wire coat hangers, magazine pages, tyres or bricks belies the laborious nature of turning them into the artworks and the visual extravagance of the end result of Mach’s work. Head is visually arresting, a classical skull transformed into a richly-coloured and patterned piece of modernity. The uniformity and repetition of the matchsticks and the symmetry and coherence generated is particularly compelling, with a real tactility, yet the threat of combustion is always present. A skull invokes notions of death and this entire structure is made of items designed to spark flames but it is simultaneously steeped in humour and fun. How could a sculpture made entirely of brightly coloured matchsticks take itself too seriously?
