Lot 1059
A George III antiquarian map of The County of Cumberland by Thomas Donald, at the request of the late Mr Jefferys Geographer to the The King and engraved by J Hodgkinson 1783, and contained within a period map case. Map dimensions +/- 114 cm x 164 cm (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: The map is mounted on linen. The condition is generally fairly good considering the age of the piece. There are numerous small creases and minor scuffs but no large tears or losses. The worst affected area is bottom left near Whitbeck just below the numeral 15. The map does appear to have a varnished finish but again this is in generally good order with no significant discolouration. The edges of the map are slightly dirtier than the centre. There is a visible crease line down the centre running from the right of the S on Solway down to the bottom scale.

George de Forest Brush (American, 1855-1941)The artist's familysigned 'Geo de Forest Brush' l.c., oil on board152.5 x 183.5cm, unframedThis group portrait depicts (from left) Georgia, Tribbie, Mrs Brush holding Mary, Gerome and Nancy. The artist’s daughter Nancy Douglas Bowditch describes in her book, ‘George de Forest Brush: Recollections of a Joyous Painter’, how her father, a pupil of the celebrated Jean Leon Gerome in Paris, began painting ‘The Family Group’ in 1898 when they were living in a small village near Fontainebleau; he continued working on it when the family moved to Florence later the same year and it was finished by the time they returned to America in 1899. According to his daughter, Brush then ‘painted almost exclusively his wife and children, except for commissioned portrait orders’. Our picture is very similar in composition to the ‘Family Group’ of 1898, as illustrated in the book (fig. 22), but with minor differences in detail. It is unlikely to be a preparatory sketch on such a scale, but may well be another version of the portrait painted at a later date. A copy of the book is included with this lot. Condition report: The painting is executed in oil on a large flat wooden board which has been nailed through the front surface onto a wooden stretcher. The board is largely in plane, there is some delamination around the edges. The paint layers have numerous textural issues. Vertical lines of cracks in have occurred related to the wooden support, most areas are stable but some places the paint is lifting and flaking. Drying cracks have formed as the paint layer dried creating an uneven surface texture. There is extensive overpaint across the surface. In the lighter paint passages, the over paint has become pale and obvious, for example in the face of the central figure. The varnish layer is fairly even and semi-glossy. There are numerous scuffs and a layer of surface dirt present

Holmes was regarded as one of the finest clockmakers of his time and F J Britten comments 'he seems to have been one among the leading mechanicians and when the turret clock at Greenwich Hospital was destroyed by fire in 1779, he was given the order for a new one. The Wetherfield Collection contains two long mahogany case clocks of his manufacture, one a particularly choice example of Chippendale dating from about 1770'. The Ludlum pendulum was used by Holmes and enabled the user to make very fine adjustments, and in turn, gave improved timekeeping.Condition report: Case: front has discolouration to concave surface of moulding beneath hood. Veneer on carcass around arched top of door with multiple cracks and jagged split. Veneer on door has extensive shallow cracking and small splits. Also some apparent later added colouration. Lower flame veneered panel has multiple vertical cracks which appear unslightly. Back of case has long vertical split and signs of old woodworm. Two wing pieces replaced at some stage. Moulding piece detached from one side but present. Hood - top split in two places. Both sides have splits emanating from top of brass grill 'windows', one side more pronounced.Dial: chip to right winding hole. Brass spandrels and flat plan backplate quite tarnished and original lacquer perished.Backplate: both main drum holes have been alternately rebushed (raised bush) and 'hammered'.
