Duke of Manchester's Light Horse, a collection of Regimental militaria relating to Sergeant Smith H. Rowley of Histon, Cambridgeshire, including mahogany boxed presentation inscription sword, maker R S Garden, London, no.644, from Captain Towgood '... for Proficiency in Sword Exercise July 4th 1865'; four silver cup trophies presented to Rowley; a silver model equestrian statuette 1871 with plaque below; Rowley's regimental cap; red tunic; Cambridgeshire Yeomanry plumed helmet with badge and chin strap; various papers and photographs; also a First World War medal group to Captain Sidney Smith Rowley, with miniatures; and a few other associated items including Masonic regalia (qty) Provenance: By family descent Offered with a newspaper dated 1930 with Rowley's obituary, describing him as the last of the 'D Troop' (Cambs) Duke of Manchester's Light Horse Volunteers. Other Notes: The Duke of Manchester's Light Horse, a famous cavalry regiment, was raised in Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire by the Duke of Manchester at Kimbolton Castle. The Duke was inspired by his friend the Earl of Sandwich's formation of the 1st Huntingdonshire Rifles Volunteer Corps in the 1850s. The Manchesters wore instantly recognizable bright red tunics, perhaps as a gesture of oneupmanship towards Sandwich, whose troops were clad in drab dark green. By 1865 when the then Prince of Wales became Colonel of the regiment, it consisted of four troops at Bedford, Sharnbrook, Kimbolton and Cambridge. Officers were drawn from local county and farming families and each recruit had to be an excellent horseman and had to provide two horses. Every member paid handsomely for the privilege and pleasure of belonging to it, with each paying an annual subscription, as well as for his uniform, he also supplied his own horse and harness and took his batman with him in the periodical training. Most of the farmers broke their own horses - there was a requirement to be dashing in appearance but also to uphold the highest cavalry standards. The Regiment took part in many ceremonial parades, most notably as escort to HRH Princess Alexandra at her wedding in 1863 to HRH The Prince of Wales. Their Regimental balls were held at Kimbolton Castle, several of which were graced by the Prince of Wales. At the Castle hangs the great painting by Dessanges of the Duke of Manchester in his uniform as Colonel of the Light Horse, standing by his favourite charger. The Regiment was disbanded in 1882. The four silver cups in this lot were mainly presented for sword proficiency and date between 1865 and 1878.

John De Vaere (1755-1830), two white marble portrait busts, of a girl and boy, both signed to one side of the base, one dated 1798 31.50cm (12in) Other Notes: According to the National Portrait Gallery, John de Vaere was born in France and settled in England some time prior to 1786 when he enrolled as a student at the Royal Academy Schools. The following year he departed for Rome, where his talents earned him the Pope's Silver Medal for Sculpture and a place as assistant to the English Neo-classical sculptor, John Flaxman. Upon his return to England in 1790, he worked for Josiah Wedgewood until his death in 1795. A bust of Louis-Engelbert, Duke of Arenberg by De Vaere is in the V & A Collection.
After George Stubbs (British, 1724-1806) A Cheetah and a Stag with two Indian servants oil on canvas 56 x 90cm (22 x 35in) Provenance: From a Suffolk country house Other Notes: George Stubbs' original is in the Manchester City Art Gallery. The cheetah in George Stubbs' "Cheetah and Stag with two Indians" was called "Miss Jenny" and was brought to Britain as a gift for King George III from George Pigot, Governor of Madras. Easily tamed and trained, cheetahs had been used as hunting animals by the Mogul Emperors for hundreds of years. In the sixteenth century, Akbar the Great was said to have kept a thousand of them for that purpose, much as the English gentry kept foxhounds. Its subject is based on a story about HRH The Duke of Cumberland releasing a cheetah with a stag in an enclosure at Windsor Great Park to watch how cheetahs kill their prey. The Duke of Cumberland organised the demonstration in Windsor Great Park for 30 June 1764. Stubbs shows an Indian servant who has raised the cheetah's hood and is ready to release it as another servant directs its attention to a stag in an imaginary landscape. The stag repulsed two attempts and then took to the offensive, chasing the cheetah. After the stag had vanquished the cheetah, Cumberland gave instructions that particular care should be taken of the stag that so bravely defended himself against the cheetah, and he ordered a large silver collar to be put around the stag's head for his distinction and greater safety. The stag would henceforth lead a protected existence, harassed by neither man nor beast. Yellowed varnish and a little dirty. Oil on canvas which has been lined. The tension is slightly slack bu t the painting is in plane. The paint layer appears stable and has an even network of age cracks across the surface. The varnish is very degraded and is wrinkling in some areas, obscuring the paint layer below due to blanching. The varnish is also very yellowed and matte. The frame is in a good condition with some wear and losses to the gilding.
