Lot 425
Percy Thomas Maquiod (1852-1925)/Design for Act I Scene 3 of Sir Herbert Tree's production of 'Henry VIII', 1910/acrylic, 30cm x 33cm/Note: The production of Henry VIII at His Majesty's Theatre in 1910 became the most celebrated of all Tree's great spectacles and the banquet scene in Wolsey's palace perhaps the most famous scene ever staged by him. Tree's productions were conceived as pageants in which historical periods were accurately recreated. On the annotations on this design Maquoid, who was an authority on historical detail, records some of his sources. Michael R Booth in his Victorian Spectacular Theatre (1981) gives a full account of this production and its creation. The banquet tables were laden with 235 props 'all exact copies taken either from originals in museums or paintings in the National Gallery'. In the centre we see the canopied seat for Tree as Cardinal Wolsey about to pledge 'the company with a goblet of wine' after a choir had sung a grace. This was the production that Tree took to New York in 1916/Provenance: The drawing came from Ellen Terry's niece Phyllis Neilson, daughter of Fred Terry (1864-1932) whose second husband was Heron Carvic who left it to Julie Nightingale, who worked for Sir Roy Strong at the V&A and bequeathed it to him. Ellen Terry played Katherine of Aragon in Irving's 1892 production of the play for which this must be a design. The set is a banqueting hall with Wolsey left raising his goblet in a toast, probably scene IV. A Hall in York Place in which Wolsey presides and the King and his company enter as masquers in disguise. Irving played Wolsey and Ellen Terry Katherine of Aragon

English School, early 17th Century/Portrait of Anne Shirley, Widow of John Brooke/three-quarter length, wearing a black dress and holding a book in one hand, the other resting on a chair/inscribed 'ANO DNI 1603 AETATs 47' and with a coat-of-arms upper left/oil on panel, 111cm x 88cm/Note: Anne Shirley (1554-1608) was the daughter of Francis Shirley of Staunton Harold, Leicestershire (1515-1571) and Dorothy Gifford and wife of John Brooke (died 1598) of Madeley Court, Shropshire. John's father, Sir Robert Brooke (died 1558) was a major jurist, MP for the City of London in five Parliaments and Speaker in 1554, the same year in which he was made Chief Justice of the Common Pleas. John was his son by his father's first wife, Anne Waring whom he married in 1537. John inherited the Madeley Court estate which had been purchased by his father in 1544 and which was to be the family seat for two centuries, although he did not obtain it until after the death of his father's second wife, Dorothy Gatacre, about 1572. He was responsible for the handsome gate house which still survives; the house is now a hotel. The Brookes were conservative in religion and latterly recusant. By the middle of the 18th Century the family had slipped from prominence as the estate was divided and sub-divided, this portrait presumably descending by way of one of these fragmentations. It depicts the sitter as a widow in black clasping a prayer book with one hand, the other resting on an opulent chair upholstered with gilt nails and fringing. The latter are carried out over gold leaf, a technique abandoned by the new wave of artists in the 1590s. The perspective of the chair is typically Elizabethan and a parallel treatment occurs in George Gower's famous Armada Portrait of Queen Elizabeth I. The extraordinary attenuated rendering of the hands could form the basis for identifying other works by what must have been a provincial artist/Provenance: The portrait turned up in a local saleroom in Pontrilas, minus its identity which, thanks to the coat of arms top left, was established by a member of the College of Arms. Purchased at a sale at Nigel Ward & Co., Pontrilas, Hereford, 2nd July, 2011, lot 310 CONDITION REPORT: Paint has in the past lifted, this has been re fixed to surface and areas of loss repainted, this is particularly prevalent in her dress. Areas of her face and ruff have been restored and touched in. The painting has been heavily cleaned and restored.

Lot 32
A FINELY CARVED YACHT'S TILLER FROM THE PETREL R.Y.S, CIRCA 1852 with square section by rudder head with three inset brass banners, the top inscribed as per title, carved castle motif on three sides, and finely observed rope work shaft terminating in a brass cuff and Turk's head knot -- 107in. (272cm.)Footnote: In the long and decidedly glamorous history of the Royal Yacht Squadron, there were several yachts named Petrel during the course of the nineteenth century, but only one whose size would require a tiller as large and handsome as the example offered in this lot. Designed and built by George & Thomas Inman Bros. at Lymington in 1852, this Petrel was a big schooner registered at 101 tons gross (57 net). Originally measuring 70 feet in length, with a 16.8 foot beam and an 8.9 foot draught, she was extended to 84 feet in 1866 although her other dimensions remained unchanged. Allocated the signal letters KLMD, her long-time owner Lord Richard Grosvenor of 76 Brook Street, Mayfair, always kept her at Dartmouth until he finally sold her to Mr. George Marvin of West Cowes at the end of the 1892 Season. After flying Marvin’s colours for barely a year, however, she was broken up in 1894, possibly deemed not worth refitting due to her age. Lord Richard de Aquila Grosvenor, 1st Baron Stalbridge (1837 – 1912), was the second surviving son of Richard Grosvenor, 2nd Marquess of Westminster, educated at Westminster School and Trinity College, Cambridge and, during an adventurous youth, toured the western United States and was present at the sack of the Summer Palace in Peking in 1860. Elected a Liberal M.P. in 1861, he became a Privy Counsellor in 1872 and was made Vice-Chamberlain of the Royal Household by Mr. Gladstone, a post he held until the government fell in 1874. Back in office in 1880, he served as Chief Whip until 1885, but then quarrelled with Gladstone over Irish Home Rule and resigned his seat the next year. After standing down from Parliament in 1886, he was created Baron Stalbridge and became leader of the Liberal Unionists in the House of Lords. He became a director of the London & North Western Railway in 1870 and promoted its business so energetically that he became its Chairman in 1891; he was also an early exponent of Channel [Railway] Tunnel. He was twice married and died in his London home in May 1912, a little over a year after his second wife. Elected to the Royal Yacht Squadron in May 1870, he was clearly very fond of Petrel given how long he owned her. However, it would seem he kept her primarily for cruising as there is no record of her taking part in any racing activity.Condition report: Good overall condition with typical marks commensurate with age
