Attributed to Cornelis Ketel (Gouda 1548-1616 Amsterdam)Portrait of Sir George Gill of Wyddial Hall, Hertfordshire, three-quarter-length, in armour inscribed 'IN DESPECTO DE FORTUNO' (upper left) and dated and charged with sitter's coat-of-arms 'Ao 1578.' (upper right)oil on panel108.4 x 69.9cm (42 11/16 x 27 1/2in).Footnotes:ProvenancePrivate Collection, GermanyFrom the date and the coat-of-arms the sitter in the present portrait can be identified as George Gill (or Gyll) of Wyddial (before 1565 – 1619) who was an officer in the English army and was on the expedition which sacked Cadiz in 1596, along with Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex, Lord Thomas Howard, Sir Walter Raleigh, and Sir Francis Vere, each of whom commanded a squad.The coat-of-arms on the painting has been identified by Thomas Woodcock FSA, Garter King of Arms at the College of Arms in London, as follows: the first quarter is Lozengy Argent and Sable a Lion rampant guardant Argent; the second quarter, Argent two chevronels Sable each charged with three Mullets Argent on a Canton Gules a Lion passant gardant Or; the third quarter Argent on a Fess Sable between three Crosses formy Gules three Martlets Or; and the fourth quarter Argent three Bars and in chief three Mulletts Gules. Somewhat unusually the second as well as the first quartering can be identified as those of the Gill family. The third quartering is that of the family of Canon, indicating that the sitter is the descendant of the marriage of John Gill and Margaret, daughter and heir of George Canon of Wyddial in 1508. This couple had four sons, the eldest of whom was George Gill who was recorded as dying in 1568; this George Gill's eldest son was John Gill of Buckland and Wyddial who was High Sheriff of Hertfordshire in 1575. His eldest son, another George, was the sitter in the present picture. Interestingly, the fourth quartering on the portrait seems to be a slight mis-interpretation of the arms of Washington, ancestors of the American President, which are Gules three bars and in chief three Mullets Argent (some of the tinctures have been reversed). There is no surviving evidence either to show that Gill's mother was or was not an heraldic heiress of the Washington family, but there is only one other coat (that of Kempston in Warwickshire) which is remotely similar. Wyddial Park, formerly the seat of the Gill family, consists of an estate of 1,187 acres close to the village of Wyddial (or Widiall), which is a parish in the hundred of Edwinstree in the county court district of Royston, in the north-east corner of Hertfordshire. This tiny village lies on the pre-Roman Icknield Way, deemed to be the oldest road in Britain, and probably first used in the late stone age. The ancient church of Saint Giles there contains several stained glass windows, including two in the aisle thought to be by a Dutch or Flemish artist of the 17th century, and some monuments and brasses to the Gulston, Gill and Ellis families; there are also brasses commemorating the Gill family which date from 1535-1600.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
IRELAND – COUNTESS MARKIEVICZAutograph letter signed ('your affectionate unknown cousin Constance de Markievicz') to her Australian cousin, Eva Cumming, pleased 'to find that I have a cousin who is sympathetic & feels the same intense love for our country that I do', talking of the Gore-Booth family and a remarkable family resemblance ('Another curious coincidence is that my sisters name is Eva... There is a curious likeness to my sister in your Photo... but you appear to be dark whereas she is very fair & much thinner...'), describing how she has been 'on the run since last December... The English have lately organised a terrible force to try & exterminate us. We call them the 'Black & Tans'... They have just looted & burnt down Balbriggan, a small town near Dublin – murdering two men in a most brutal manner. They forced their way in to a Dublin hotel two nights ago, & murdered a visitor in his bed. He was Mr Lynch a member of the County Council at Kilmallock, a Sinn Feiner of course...', but finding hope in the people of Ireland ('quite undaunted & determined to win out...'), concluding 'I wish you all knew what we are going through & I know that every just man & woman through the world would instantaneously hold up the English & insist on our being left to carry on our Republic & rule our people as they deserve to be ruled in an orderly & just manner... trading with other nations, & living amicably with all men...', 4 numbered leaves, written on recto only, some wear with small pin holes at folds on page 4, 4to (260 x 195mm.), Liberty Hall, Dublin, [probably written 25/26 September 1920]Footnotes:'THE SAME INTENSE LOVE FOR OUR COUNTRY': Constance Markievicz writes of her hopes for an independent Ireland to an Australian cousin with a shared sympathy for the Irish Republican cause.This long and heartfelt letter is written at what she calls a 'terrible time' for her and the Republicans, particularly due to the creation of the so-called 'Black and Tans' in 1920; as she explains 'They are ex officers & are dressed partially in khaki & partially in the Black of the Policeman' and were notorious for their brutality, sub-judice killings, arson and looting. Having been sentenced to death for her involvement in the Easter Rising of 1916 (she was second-in-command of a troop in the Irish Citizen Army), Markievicz was released in the general amnesty of June 1917, only being spared the firing squad by virtue of her sex. She spent the reminder of her life 'on the run' and in and out of prison. In fact she was in prison in 1918 when she became the first woman elected to the British parliament although, like all Sinn Fein MPs, she refused to take her seat.Our letter is undated, but Markievicz mentions she is writing two nights after the British attack on the town of Balbriggan on 23 September 1920 and the murder of John Lynch in the Royal Exchange Hotel the same night, Lynch supposedly being in Dublin to hand over £23,000 in subscriptions to Michael Collins. It can therefore be assumed that it was written around 25 or 26 September 1920. The heading indicates that it was written from Liberty Hall, the headquarters of the Irish Citizen Army during the Easter Rising, a building of great significance to the Republicans and the meeting point for rebels before their march on the General Post Office in 1916 (Markievicz had also run a soup kitchen there with Maude Gonne during the 1913 lock out). It was badly damaged by naval shelling during the rising and several accounts suggest that Liberty Hall was completely demolished. However, the more recent view is that it was restored and reoccupied following the uprising, which would be confirmed by the fact that Markievicz appears to be sheltering there at this time.Markievicz's fame as Irish republican, suffragist and radical had clearly reached Australia and touched a chord with the large Irish community overseas. Both the events mentioned in the letter were widely reported in Australian newspapers in the last months of 1920 (see for example 'A Letter from the Old Land', Southern Cross, 3 December 1920). Despite the difficulties of her situation, Markievicz responds to her hitherto unknown relative's letter with great warmth and interest, particularly as the cousin appears to have expressed her support for the Irish republican movement. Eva Cumming's unsolicited letter and photograph has clearly piqued her curiosity to discover more about her Australian connections; 'I wish you could find out more about the first Gore Booth who went to Australia. Robert was a family name... have you any old papers? Certificates, letters or Pictures or books? It would be so interesting...' and remarks on the physical similarity between her correspondent and her sister and namesake Eva Gore-Booth, 'She has the same straight brows & rather high forehead... but you appear to be dark whereas she is very fair. & much thinner...'; the 'gazelle' of W.B. Yeats' poem 'The light of evening, Lissadell,/ Great windows open to the south,/ Two girls in silk kimonos both,/ Beautiful, one a gazelle' (In Memory of Eva Gore-Booth and Constance Markievicz, 1927).Eva Mary Cumming died in Sydney in 1985 and would have been nineteen years old at the time of this correspondence. The letter has remained with the family until now.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

For his outstanding courage and devotion to duty the pilot, Flying Officer John Cruickshank, was awarded the Victoria Cross', with cut signature by CruickshankQty: (1)NOTESVC - London Gazette 1 September 1944: 'This officer was the captain and pilot of a Catalina flying boat which was recently engaged on an anti-submarine patrol over northern waters. When a U-boat was sighted on the surface, Flying Officer Cruickshank at once turned to the attack. In the face of fierce anti-aircraft fire he manoeuvred into position and ran in to release his depth charges. Unfortunately they failed to drop. Flying Officer Cruickshank knew that the failure of this attack had deprived him of the advantage of surprise and that his aircraft offered a good target to the enemy's determined and now heartened gunners. Without hesitation, he climbed and turned to come in again. The Catalina was met by intense and accurate fire and was repeatedly hit. The navigator/bomb aimer was killed. The second pilot and two other members of the crew were injured. Flying Officer Cruickshank was struck in seventy-two places, receiving two serious wounds in the lungs and ten penetrating wounds in the lower limbs. His aircraft was badly damaged and filled with the fumes of exploding shells. But he did not falter. He pressed home his attack, and released the depth charges himself, straddling the submarine perfectly. The U-boat was sunk. He then collapsed and the second pilot took over the controls. He recovered shortly afterwards and, though bleeding profusely, insisted on resuming command and retaining it until he was satisfied that the damaged aircraft was under control, that a course had been set for base and that all the necessary signals had been sent. Only then would he consent to receive medical aid and have his wounds attended to. He refused morphia in case it might prevent him from carrying on. During the next five and half hours of the return flight he several times lapsed into unconsciousness owing to loss of blood. When he came to, his first thought on each occasion was for the safety of his aircraft and crew. The damaged aircraft eventually reached base but it was clear that an immediate landing would be a hazardous task for the wounded and less experienced second pilot. Although able to breathe only with the greatest difficulty, Flying Officer Cruickshank insisted on being carried forward and propped up in the second pilots seat. For a full hour, in spite of his agony and ever-increasing weakness, he gave orders as necessary, refusing to allow the aircraft to be brought down until the conditions of light and sea made this possible without undue risk. With his assistance the aircraft was safely landed on the water. He then directed the taxying and beaching of the aircraft so that it could easily be salvaged. When the medical officer went on board, Flying Officer Cruickshank collapsed and he had to be given a blood transfusion before he could be removed to hospital. By pressing home the second attack in his gravely wounded condition and continuing his exertions on the return journey with his strength failing all the time, he seriously prejudiced his chance of survival even if the aircraft safely reached its base. Throughout, he set an example of determination, fortitude and devotion to duty in keeping with the highest traditions of the Service'

The London Motor Show; Ex-Maharajah of Patiala1928 Aston Martin 1½-Litre Standard Sports ModelChassis no. TS10Engine no. ST18•The first 'Standard Sports Model'•Displayed at the 1928 London Motor Show•Unique specification•The third oldest Bertelli-era Aston Martin known to be running•Restored by Ecurie Bertelli LtdFootnotes:Manufactured by Robert Bamford and Lionel Martin, the first Aston-Martins (the hyphen is correct for the period) rapidly established a reputation for high performance and sporting prowess in the immediate post-WWI years. The company traces its history back to 1914, when Bamford & Martin Ltd built their first car - ultimately known as 'Coal Scuttle' - at their works in Henniker Place, Chelsea. The coming of war saw the two founders engaged in more important activities, and 'Coal Scuttle' remained the sole Bamford & Martin car for some years. The company later changed its name to Aston-Martin, retaining the name of founder Lionel Martin and borrowing from the Aston hill climb near Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire (the hyphen was later dropped). The first Astons used four-cylinder sidevalve engines, and though the firm experimented with overhead-camshaft types, it was the trusty sidevalves that did most of the winning. In 1922, the sidevalve Aston Martin enjoyed its finest hour when one nicknamed 'Rabbit', and latterly known as 'Bunny', set 25 light-car and 10 outright world speed records at Brooklands. Unfortunately, the management's concentration on motor sport, while accruing invaluable publicity, distracted it from the business of manufacturing cars for sale, the result being just 50-or-so sold by 1925 when the company underwent the first of what would be many changes of ownership. The foundations were laid for the commencement of proper series production with the formation of Aston Martin Motors Ltd in 1926 under the stewardship of Augustus 'Bert' Bertelli and William Renwick. Built at the firm's new Feltham works, the 'new generation' of 1½-litre Aston Martins was first displayed at the 1927 London Motor Show at Olympia. Like his predecessors, 'Bert' Bertelli understood the effect of competition success on Aston Martin sales and sanctioned the construction of two works racers for the 1928 season. Based on the 1½-litre, overhead-camshaft road car, the duo featured dry-sump lubrication, and this feature was carried over to the International sports model, introduced in 1929. In the meantime, Aston Martin had displayed three new models on its stand at the 1928 London Motor Show at Olympia: a four-seat open car, a four-door saloon, and an open two-seater on the short (8' 6') chassis, which was described as the 'Standard Sports Model'. The latter was chassis number 'TS10', the car offered here, which was only the tenth car completed at the firm's new Feltham workshops. Although the Standard Sports Model was described in the catalogue as having a dry sump, 'TS10' was displayed at Olympia with a wet-sump engine, as recorded by Inman Hunter in his definitive work: Aston Martin 1913-1947 (page 95). Finished in brown and boasting long black wings, 'TS10' was sold from the show stand to the Maharajah of Patiala and exported to India where the body's ash frame was replaced with either mahogany or teak to withstand attack from wood-eating insects.Little is known of the car's subsequent history in India; however, in 1967 it was offered for sale by a Mr Paraamjit of Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh but did not surface again until it was found - in pieces - by the immediately preceding owner. By this time the Aston had been much modified and lost both its original wet-sump engine and its worm drive rear axle. Restoration was not thought to be possible.However, in 2006 Andy Bell of Ecurie Bertelli Ltd, the world-renowned authority on pre-war Aston Martins, located a 'T' type engine, number 'ST18', and found the last known wet sump in a bin of parts in his workshop. It was decided to restore 'TS10' using this engine and a newly made rear axle. The car was shipped from Malta to Ecurie Bertelli's workshop at Olney in the UK for restoration to exact and original specification, which took almost three years to complete. Unusually, 'TS10' has front-opening doors, which is the original design but not what was commonly found in the era. 'TS10' is the first Standard Sports Model built and a direct ancestor to today's Aston Martins; it is also the third oldest Bertelli-era Aston Martin known to be still running. Unique and magnificently presented, it represents the dawn of one of Britain's greatest sporting marques and would surely take pride of place in any collection of fine Aston Martin motor cars.
