The Principal Architect of the Irish Court System“One of the Ablest Judges to have Graced the Irish Bench”KENNEDY, Hugh [1879-1936], First Attorney General and first Chief Justice of the Irish Free State, a small Archive of documents, letters, drawings and photographs.Hugh Kennedy was a contemporary of James Joyce at University College in Dublin, where he was editor of St. Stephen’s, the student magazine which published some of Joyce’s early work, and auditor of the L&H. He was called to the bar in 1902, and quickly established a reputation; by 1907 he had published a legal textbook. An Irish speaker, he was active in the Gaelic League, serving on a committee with such people as Pearse and Ceannt. He had strong national sympathies, and an unsigned work of 1910 listed below shows that he had no illusions about the British. He was legal adviser to the Department of Local Government in the first Dail, and to the Provisional Government established under the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921. He was a member of the committee which drafted the Constitution of the new state, and engaged in detailed negotiations with the British to secure their agreement to its terms. In this process he gained at least one notable success, over rights of appeal to the Privy Council in London (see Keane, D.I.B.). He was briefly a TD for a Dublin constituency. In 1923 he was appointed Attorney-General, and when the new Irish courts system was established in 1924, Kennedy became the first Chief Justice, a position which he held until his death. He may fairly be described as the principal architect of the Irish courts system. He authored many significant judgements, and ‘has been generally regarded as one of the ablest judges to have graced the Irish bench since independence’ (Ronan Keane in D.I.B. – himself a former Chief Justice).The principal collection of Kennedy’s legal papers is in UCD. The present archive consists of items which have remained in family hands, including letters to Mrs. Kennedy after his death. It includes:- An important collection of coloured watercolour drawings of the green robes which Kennedy as Chief Justice proposed (at the suggestion of W.B. Yeats) for the new Irish Supreme Court, supposedly based on the robes worn by the Gaelic Brehons. According to Keane (D.I.B.), these designs were developed through discussion with Yeats, who was much interested in the outward symbols of the new State, and the drawings were executed by Yeats’ friend, the distinguished artist and designer Charles Shannon. There are three mounted drawings of designs for robes, each on card circa 37cms x 27cms, two designs for headgear, 27cms x 19cms, and one monochrome drawing of robes, probably a preliminary sketch. Although unsigned, these undoubtedly are Shannon’s original drawings, and are probably the only visual record of this project. The boards bear the stamp of The Ruskin Studio, VII New Court, [London] W.C. 2. The proposal was not welcomed by Kennedy’s colleagues, and when Yeats proposed a Senate motion on the issue, the division was lost by one vote. See Foster, W.B. Yeats, A Life, Vol. II p. 331. The drawings are in immaculate condition, as fresh as the day they were painted.- Five albums of letters, documents and photographs, as follows:- Album 1. A collection of circa 40 mostly unmounted photographic prints, mostly 19cms x 24cms with some smaller, showing Kennedy (often with his wife Clare) at a variety of events through the 1920s and 1930s, illustrating the life of the elite in those years. These are mostly good quality professional. photographs. They are generally not captioned, but the principal participants are easily recognisable, including Kennedy, a small man who became increasingly corpulent with the passage of years and good dinners. A well-known photograph shows mourners at the funeral of Arthur Griffith, led by Eoin MacNeill, with Kennedy in the third rank. On the reverse is written, ‘This is when Uncle Hugh + others were locked up in the 4 Courts & the Castle in the ‘Troubled Times’. An Irish Times photo (1924, probably at an Aonach Tailteann event) shows the veteran American Fenian John Devoy seated beside two Oriental gentlemen, with the Chief Justice and his wife at the ends of the line. There are some curious photos of the elaborate costume worn by Mrs. Kennedy at a ‘Nine Arts’ Ball in 1925.; also a menu for a banquet for John McCormack during Aonach Tailteann 1925, signed by the singer.- Albums 2, 3 and 4 contain a very wide variety of documents and letters dating from all periods of Kennedy’s life, not chronologically organised but including much interesting and some important material. They include:- Manuscript in Hugh Kennedy’s hand `Claim for Compensation for Property Destroyed @ the Four Courts. One page quarto;- Manuscript in Hugh Kennedy’s hand List of Books Purchased December 1927 to March, 1928. Seven pages quarto;- Two invoices from Fred Hanna, Ltd., Booksellers, Nassau Street, dated 1 Oct 1929 and 3 Jan 1930;- A selection of (empty) official envelopes, including one dated 29.12.22, headed ‘Fé Rún. For Minister Only’, addressed to ‘Dlí Oifigeach’, with official seal on reverse; - A selection of calling cards, including Kennedy’s (in Irish, Aodh Ó Cinnéide), Douglas Hyde, with an inscription, Myles Dillon, John A. Murphy (Mrs. Kennedy’s father, inscribed reverse) etc.; - A TLS appointing Kennedy a Vice-President of the Royal Irish Academy 1936; - A printed Syllabus of Courses for the School of Irish Studies, Dublin 1905;
William Osborne, RHA (Irish, 1823-1901)Equestrian portrait of Thomas Conolly, MP, of Castletown, mounted on a dappled grey hunter in a wooded landscapeOil on canvas 112 x 133cm (44 1/16 x 52 3/8in).Footnotes:Provenance:Anon. sale, Christie's, London, 10 April 1992, lot 81With Frost and Reed Ltd., London, no. 57638Castletown House, where these portraits originally hung, is Ireland's first and finest Palladian mansion. Located in County Kildare, the house was begun in 1722 for William Conolly (1662 –1729), Speaker of the Irish House of Commons and was magnificently remodelled and decorated by Lady Louisa Conolly (1743-1821), wife of Thomas Conolly (1738-1803) from 1759 onwards. After Lady Louisa's death the Conolly estates, including Castletown, were inherited by Thomas Conolly's grandnephew Edward Pakenham (1786–1848), who then took the name Conolly. During Edward's time few changes were made to the house, probably due to the strained economic circumstances of this time. In 1848 Edward Conolly was succeeded at Castletown and Westminster by Thomas Conolly, here depicted by William Osborne, mounted on a dappled grey hunter. For Osborne's companion portrait of Sarah Conolly, seated side saddle on a light bay hunter, see the previous lot. While the 18th century history of Castletown and its residents has been extensively studied, the 19th century history of the house and its inhabitants is perhaps a little less well known. However, eight diaries written by Thomas Conolly between 1853 and 1870-71, have been preserved (collections of Desmond Guinness (1931-2020) and Irish Architectural Archive). These diaries act as an effective paper trail for life at Castletown in the mid-nineteenth century and record his activities, social engagements, hunt meets, travels and health. Thomas Conolly, owner of Castletown, the first great Palladian mansion in Ireland, was also amongst the last of the Protestant ascendancy landowners of a 'Big House' in nineteenth century Ireland and his story has been recently published by Dr Suzanne M. Pegley in her book Thomas Conolly (1823-76) of Castletown House and the social networking of power. As Pegley notes 'Although documentary evidence is limited, his contribution assured that the fabric of the house and its legacy was sustained for the benefit of his grandchildren and ultimately, if not intentionally, for the Irish people (see Suzanne Pegley, Landscapes of Power, The Social Network of the Power Elite in mid-Victorian Ireland Case Study of Thomas Conolly (1823-76) of Castletown, Co Kildare, PhD thesis, 2018, p.42).Thomas Conolly travelled extensively, including to Virginia in 1864 during the height of the American Civil War where he met General Lee, Jefferson Davis and other Confederate leaders. And his diary of that time has been acknowledged as an important record for researchers of 19th century American history (see Nelson D Lankford, ed., An Irishman in Dixie: Thomas Conolly's Diary of the Fall of the Confederacy, 1988). Upon Conolly's return to Ireland in 1864, he was forced to sell some of the Castletown lands to avert financial troubles. He settled at Castletown in 1869, marrying Sarah Eliza Shaw, the Celbridge paper miller's daughter. And following this (and the addition of her dowry of £10,000 to his fortune) the couple carried out some new work and refurbishment of Castletown. This included the decoration of the blue bedroom, the partial redecoration of the long gallery and the red and green silk rooms. The couple visited the Pitti Palace in Florence, which is thought to have been the inspiration for Castletown's red silk room which has been recently restored.The couple's decision to be painted by the Irish artist William Osborne (1823-1901), prepared for a hunt, is noteworthy. Osborne's work relating to equestrian subjects was highly admired in 19th century Ireland. See for example his great ensemble portrait 'The Ward Hunt', preserved at The National Gallery of Ireland (NGI.891). For the Conolly's, horses and hunting were the centre of their world. Conolly was an enthusiastic member of the Kildare Hunt and as Suzanne Pegley's transcriptions of Conolly's diaries have shown, he spent 30 days of 1853 hunting and was keeping twelve horses for his personal use at this time. In 1868, while the Conolly's were on their honeymoon in Paris Thomas and Napoleon III, entered into friendly competition about their horses and carriages. Conolly was considered to have won the competition because his horses were 'shod in silver' (see Boylan, 'The Conolly Family', Irish Georgian Society Bulletin, Vol XI, no. 4, 1968, p. 45). Conolly's sporting interests can be seen not just in the commissioning of these portraits but in his interventions at Castletown, his conversion of the print room into a billiards room and in 1872 his renovation of the first-floor east wing stables at Castletown creating a clubroom for social activities of the Kildare Hunt.These pictures by Osborne are certainly the most important works by the artist to appear on the market for many decades. While known as an expert hand with horses and dogs, Osborne here demonstrates his versatility by capturing his sitters with flattering skill. These pictures are a fitting tribute to the inhabitants of one of the largest estates in Ireland, an adventure loving whose impact on Castletown can still be seen today.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP Lot will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

Baroness Floella Benjamin, DBE DL. Ace of Hearts. 'Heart of Gold'. Mixed media (paint and 3d sculpture) on canvas, 34 x 29cm. Signed. Baroness Dame Floella Benjamin DBE DL is Patron of Transplant Links and a passionate supporter of their work. She traveled with the transplant team to Barbados in 2020 to watch a transplant and support the life-saving work of the charity. As well as being a much-loved presenter of children's programmes such as Playschool and Play Away, Floella applies her energy enthusiasm and love of humanity to her work in the House of Lords as Baroness Benjamin of Beckenham, as well as being an author, presenter, motivational speaker, businesswoman and supporter of many charities including Transplant Links. She embodies what it is to have a heart of gold with all the work she does and the inspiring impact she has on all who meet her, including the TLC team, so it is no surprise that she has produced the artwork Heart of Gold which expresses this. It's also a very fitting tribute to the work of all the TLC supporters and NHS volunteers whose hearts of gold and generosity help to save and transform lives throughout the world through the activities of Transplant links.
AN EXCEPTIONAL AND MONUMENTAL GILT WOOD FIGURE OF SEISHI BOSATSUJapan, 16th-17th century, late Muromachi (1336-1573) to early Edo period (1615-1868)Of yosegi-zukuri (joined-block) construction, the bodhisattva standing atop a lotus dais with finely carved petals raised on a compressed globular element with pierced foliate and floral dharmachakra designs supported on an elaborate tiered circular base decorated with scrolling vines, a wavy collar above lappets, and diapered chrysanthemums. His lowered left hand holding a small bouquet of lotus flowers, his raised right hand held in vitarka mudra (raigo-in). He is dressed in loose-fitting robes cascading in voluminous folds and billowing scarves, and richly adorned with an elaborate pierced necklace and head-ornament of applied copper alloy with pendent ornaments and ribbons. His serene face with finely painted downcast eyes below elegantly arched brows centered by an urna (byakugo) and full lips framed by a curled mustache, the hair piled up into a high chignon. The base inset with a flattened post surmounted by a large circular lotus aureole. The underside gives some further insight into the elaborate construction of this monumental figure.HEIGHT overall 175 cmCondition: Old wear, the gilt and applied metal elements remarkably well-preserved, minor flaking, small nicks and chips, light surface scratches, minuscule losses, expected minor age cracks. Possibly minor old repairs and touchups. Generally, in very good condition, commensurate with age, and better than most statues of this extremely rare size and period.Provenance: From the estate of Dorothy Robins Mowry (1921-2021), an American think tank executive and author who lived and worked in Tokyo between 1963-1971, where she held a position in the Cultural Programs Office for 8 years at the American Embassy. Among her most well-known books are The Hidden Sun: Women of Modern Japan and Experiment in Democracy: The Story of U.S. Citizen Organizations in Forging the Charter of the United Nations. Dorothy was a sought-after public speaker at national and international conferences, universities, community and non-governmental organizations, and radio and TV stations. She presented extensively throughout the U.S. and overseas in many countries including Japan, Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, Switzerland, and Iran.Seishi Bosatsu (Mahasthamaprapta), also known as the Bodhisattva of strength and wisdom, is recognized in Japan as one of the Thirteen Buddhas and associated with the Nio temple guardians. He is one of the oldest bodhisattvas and is regarded as powerful, especially in the Pure Land school, where he takes an important role in the Longer Sukhavativyuha Sutra. He is often depicted in a trinity with Amitabha (Amida) and Avalokiteshvara (Kannon), especially in Pure Land Buddhism. Seishi Bosatsu is rarely represented in Japanese sculpture outside of the Amida triad, where he is often depicted holding a lotus flower.Literature comparison: Compare a closely related gilt wood figure of Seishi Bosatsu, dated 18th century, 143.2 cm high, in the Museum für Asiatische Kunst, Humboldt Forum, Berlin, reference number DLG 134-1996.

‘Catholics may take part in the meetings of the International Council of Christians and Jews, but only as observers’ JOHN XXIII: (1881-1963) Pope of the Catholic Church 1958-63. A good T.L.S., + Ang. Jos. Roncalli, as Apostolic Nuncio to France, two pages, 4to, Paris, 25th November 1950, to an unidentified correspondent ('Excellence Reverendissime'), in French. Roncalli writes to communicate the conclusions that have been reached following a careful examination regarding the International Council of Christians and Jews, stating, in part, 'This movement, although having the aim of combating anti-Semitism and defending, led with the support of Christians, the unjustly persecuted Jews, also deals in its congresses and meetings with pedagogical problems, and makes itself the promoter of religious tolerance and perfect equality of the various religious denominations. At the congress of Fribourg a speaker went so far as to maintain that young people should be educated in such a way that they hold 'an absolutely indifferent attitude with regard to nationality, race, religion'. This is why the Em[inent] Fathers…..have established that for a possible participation of the congresses….Catholics must observe the provisions……Provided that they are authorised by the competent ecclesiastical authority, Catholics may take part in the meetings of the International Council of Christians and Jews, but only as observers. It is inappropriate for such permission to be granted to prominent persons in the Catholic world. Likewise, meetings should not be held in the premises of Catholic Institutes……At the same time, we inform Your Excellency that the International Council of Christians and Jews, with the aim of spreading 'the intercultural education' which it primarily seeks to promote in the nations where this would be possible, the constitution of 'the intercultural alliance', in favour of which it solicits the collaboration of Catholics and Protestants'. A letter of interesting content. A few small, minor staple holes to the upper left edge, not affecting the text or signature, VGRoncalli played an active role in gaining Catholic Church support for the establishment of the State of Israel after 1944. The Nuncio's support for Zionism and the establishment of Israel was the result of his cultural and religious openness toward other faiths and cultures, and especially concern with the fate of Jews after World War II. Roncalli was one of the Vatican's most sympathetic diplomats toward Jewish immigration to Palestine, which he saw as a humanitarian issue, and not a matter of biblical theology.
[NOEL-BAKER PHILIP]: (1889-1982) British politician and diplomat, Nobel Peace Prize winner, 1959. Noel-Baker also won a silver medal at the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp and is the only person to have won an Olympic medal and received a Nobel Prize. STRONG KENNETH (1900-1982) British Major General of World War II who played a leading role in the negotiations for the unconditional surrender of Germany in 1945. An interesting typed manuscript signed, Kenneth Strong, Major General, eleven pages, 8vo, n.p., n.d. (January 1946), in German. The manuscript is of a speech made by Strong to introduce Philip Noel-Baker to German prisoners-of-war at Wilton Park and states, in part, 'I have the pleasant task of introducing you, the third course students at Wilton Park, to this evening's speaker, Minister of State Philip Noel-Baker. It is a particular pleasure for me because it gives me a good opportunity to attend the third course myself, as I did at the opening of Wilton Park and at the beginning of the second course…..When, on January 17 of this year, I opened the first course, and with it the Training Centre, on behalf of the Department of Foreign Affairs, which I head, we were optimistic…..But no one could know how it would develop. Of course, it is still too early to say that the Wilton Park experiment was a success, because it will not be possible to decide whether it was successful or not until years after you return to Germany. But I would like to say that the development of these six months has proved right for those of us who thought that the attempt should be made…..and that it also makes it clear to the German prisoners of war here and in all camps, what importance His Majesty's Government attaches to the construction work that is being done here…..Even if Mr. Noel-Baker were not a senior officer at the State Department, he would be one of the most suitable personalities to address you in Wilton Park. I know that part of your curriculum is the Projection of Britain, and Mr. Noel-Baker embodies much of the British political tradition and development that you have heard about this semester. First of all, his political stance: I was told that last semester, nothing impressed the students more than the fact that six Labour MPs gave a brain trust, who agreed that your socialism is not based on Karl Marx, but built on Jesus Christ. And you have….[been]……shown how alive the social conscience is in the English religious communities. Mr. Noel-Baker is in the same tradition. His domestic and foreign political views are based on his religious convictions…….This combination of religion and socialism, which is not so widespread in Germany….is not the only combination of qualities that are found in England and rarely found in Germany. Mr. Noel-Baker was a university professor before politics demanded all his time, but not an unworldly, so called apolitical lecturer, but a professor who was aware of the social obligations of universities……I am sure you will appreciate it if I tell you that while a student Mr. Noel-Baker was also president of the Cambridge Debating Society…..and president of the Cambridge Athletics Club and represented England at an Olympiad……But it's not just in sports that Mr. Noel-Baker has devoted himself to cultivating international relations. He has been his party's leading expert on foreign policy issues for years, and has deepened and expanded his knowledge and experience through his work with the League of Nations and the Disarmament Conference.' Signed by Strong to the verso of the final page, and signed a second time beneath an explanatory statement, 'Speech made in German by General Strong to German prisoners of war in the U.K. at the Wilton Park Training Centre in January 1946'. Some light overall age toning, a few stains, tears and areas of paper loss to the first page only, and with small staple holes to the upper left corner of each page, GWilton Park began on 12th January 1946 as part of an initiative inspired by Winston Churchill who, two years earlier, had called for Britain to help establish a democracy in Germany after World War II. Between January 1946 and June 1948 approximately 4,500 Germans were made to attend re-education classes there. Today Wilton Park exists as an executive agency of the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office providing a global forum for strategic discussion.
