First edition, 4to., mounted photographic frontispiece of the Agra Fort and 2 other mounted photographs of the fort, with the addendum slip at p.54, original cloth over bevelled boards, t.e.g., others uncut; Lee, J. The Indian Mutiny: events at Cawnpore, June and July, 1857. Cawnpore: Victoria Press, [n.d.], c. 1886, inscribed by the author to a Mrs Johnson; [bound with] [Idem] A narrative of my travels and visit to England and America in 1883. [s.l., n.d., but presumably at the Victoria Press, Cawnpore]. 8vo., modern quarter calf, cloth boards (2) Note: Sir William Muir (1819-1905), Indian administrator, was stationed successively at in the districts of Cawnpore, Bundelkhand, and Fatehpur. The sepoy Mutiny broke out at Meerut on 10 May 1857 and spread rapidly. Muir, at Agra, where the situation was soon critical, advised vigorous action from the first. Akbar's great fort of Agra became the refuge of the Christians. Moir vividly told the story of his experience for his children in his Agra in the Mutiny (1896). Soon there was neither government nor revenue; but as head of the intelligence department Muir held the dangerous position of centre of communication between the viceroy, Lord Canning, and the civil and military authorities right across India to Delhi, Lahore, and Peshawar, to Gwalior, Indore, and Bombay. (DNB supplement). Lee, the author of the second work, was the proprietor of the Railway Hotel at Cawnpore. The present copy appears to be a separate issue to that published in 1893. The pagination differs from the 1893 copy in the British Library.

Artist: Marie Ackers Piece: Zinka Version 1 Size/Height x Width x Depth (cm): 45 x 25Material: Resin - Marble Edition: The story behind this sculpture is: When I started sculpting I learned from the old master and my biggest inspirations was the "French Animaliers", so my work was very traditional and based mainly around horses and dogs. Around 2010 I started to really add my own vision and try to understand what lines where important for me in a sculpture. All my work has derived from my sketching which shows only a few lines. To me a sketch is about capturing the subject in few important and meaningful lines. I started to take that thinking and to deconstruct the movements, simplify the shapes and identify the dynamic and the rhythms of the lines. People always says that art comes from within. This is true. A huge part comes from within the artist and it takes time to evolve from study work to personal vision and ultimately, the final piece, which may differ still from the original idea.

Artist: Robert Strickland Piece: Keanu (young boy drawing) Size/Height x Width x Depth (cm): 21,25,22Material: Resin Edition: The story behind this sculpture is: This four year old boy whom I had never met before  wandered into my studio in Bath one morning and having spotted my sketch book and some pencils, asked if he could sit down and do some drawing. I said "of course you can, but do you mind if I sketch you in clay whilst you are drawing". He agreed and immediately sat down on the floor in front of me, chattering incessantly whilst I produced this quick study of him in clay. After 20 minutes he got up abruptly, saying " I am finished now" and just walked off as children do. I never saw him again, but this piece really captured the moment and so I treasure it.

Boyce August 1897' Provenance: Private collection, Berkshire. This work was painted during the artist's Italian trip in the summer of 1856, when he stayed at Airola and Giornico from July until November. He returned to London on 7th January 1857. In his diary for 26th May 1857, the artist relates that his sister's fianc‚ Henry Tanworth Wells had taken William Michael Rossetti to Boyce's studio in Buckingham Street in search of works for Rossetti's Pre-Raphaelite exhibition at 4 Russell Place, Fitzroy Square: 'Letter from Wells saying he and Rossetti had been to my studio and walked off with that sunset sketch, and the crypt of St. Niccolo at Giornico, to exhibit with the collection of Pre-Raphaelite Painters' work at 4 Russell Place, Fitzroy Square.' Later that same year, John Ruskin visited Boyce at his studio, and saw the results of the artist's Italian trips which he had been advised to undertake by Ruskin himself: 'Ruskin came and stayed an hour. He seemed a good deal taken with several of my Giornico drawings...' (Old Watercolour Society Club). (1)
