'The pictures in this book are not of flowers themselves, but of subjects suggested by their names... All the pictures take the same form, a circle about six inches in diameter—a kind of magic mirror in which the vision appears—and he wished them not to be separated, because, wide as is their scope, one spirit, that of pure fantasy, unites them... In some of the pictures details remain unfinished; but both colour and design are always perfectly clear, and are so intimately characteristic of the painter that I have sometimes thought this book contains a fuller expression of himself than exists elsewhere in his work' (Georgiana Burne-Jones, from the Preface).This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A Second War ‘8th Army, Italian Front’ M.M. group of six awarded to Battery Sergeant Major Thomas Woodward, 132nd (Welsh) Field Regiment, Royal Artillery Military Medal, G.VI.R. (784502 W.O. Cl. 2.. T. Woodward. R.A.); 1939-45 Star; Africa Star; Italy Star; Defence and War Medals 1939-45, mounted for display, nearly very fine (6) £700-£900 --- M.M. London Gazette 28 June 1945. The original recommendation, available online, states: ‘W/WO II (BSM) Thomas Woodward, 132nd (Welsh) Field Regt R.A. On the Fifth Army Front on 11 October 1944 BSM Woodward’s Battery came into action at Castel del Rio (Italy) and on that and the following day was shelled by 170mm and lighter shells causing casualties. BSM Woodward throughout was indefatigable in getting the Troop into action and dug in under cover in the shortest possible time, so that the Battery was able to support its Infantry with the least delay. Again on 7 November 1944 near Sassaleone (Italy) while the Battery was being shelled he rallied some fresh reinforcements who had taken cover, thus enabling the work of the Battery to proceed. This WO has fought with his Battery, first as No 1 and then Troop BSM since the Regiment landed in Africa in November 1942. During the whole period his conduct has been beyond praise for courage, sheer hard work, unfailing initiative and cheerful resource alike under shellfire and in very adverse weather conditions. For instance at Tebourba he fought his gun with great coolness when 3 or 4 tanks were knocked out and he was wounded. BSM Woodward has proven himself to be a consistently hardworking WO or NCO who always gives all he has got especially under shellfire and in the worst conditions, showing a wonderful spirit and encouragement to all ranks at all times thus doing a very great deal towards winning the war as far as his Troop and Battery are concerned.’

A Second War Halifax bomber Air Gunner’s D.F.M. awarded to Flight Sergeant J. J. Smith, 77 Squadron, Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve Distinguished Flying Medal, G.VI.R. (1670350 F/Sgt. J. J. Smith. R.A.F.) mounted on original investiture pin; 1939-45 Star; France and Germany Star; Defence Medal, in named card box of issue addressed to the recipient at ‘Thicknesse Avenue, Beech Hill, Wigan, Lancs.’, together with ‘authority to wear’ slip for the ribands of these four medals (note no War Medal 1939-45 in lot) extremely fine (4) £1,400-£1,800 --- D.F.M. London Gazette 17 April 1945: ‘1670350 James Johnston Smith, R.A.F.V.R., 77 Sqn.’ The original Recommendation, dated 12 January, 1945, states: ‘Sorties 33, Flying hours 149.47 Air Gunner. This N.C.O. Air Gunner has completed his first operational tour consisting of 33 sorties. His efficiency has been well marked by two encounters with enemy fighters. On 22nd/23rd June, 1944, when the target was Laon, a Ju.88 opened fire in an attack at approximately 300 yards. Immediately evasive action was taken followed by well co-ordinated fire from both gunners in the Halifax which resulted in many hits being obtained on the enemy fighter. Flames were seen to break out in the fighter’s port engine and almost immediately the fighter was enveloped in flames and was seen to spiral down and crash. The total destruction of the enemy aircraft was witnessed and confirmed by four members of the crew. On another occasion, that of an attack on Kiel on 16th/17th August, 1944, an F.W. 190 was sighted at about 500 yards by Flight Sergeant Smith. Immediately he gave advice to the pilot to corkscrew and although the enemy fighter opened fire, no damage was dons to the bomber due to this gunner’s alertness in detecting its presence and giving the necessary commentary to his Captain. Throughout these instances and, in fact, during the whole course of his tour, Flight Sergeant Smith has shown great coolness and a fine offensive spirit which has undoubtedly contributed greatly to the preservation of the crew and aircraft. He is strongly recommended for the award of the Distinguished Flying Medal.’

JAUME PLENSA (Barcelona, 1955)."Man, I", 1983.Mixed media on paper.Attached certificate issued by the author.This work was exhibited at the Jordi Pascual gallery (Barcelona), in 2017.The glass is broken, but it does not affect the work.Signed and dated in the lower area.Measurements: 107 x 39 cm; 118 x 50 cm (frame).Adjectives such as automatic, gestural and explicit are concentrated in this scene, in which the author has conceived the portrait of a human figure. It is set up as a totem before the viewer. A primitive spirit, born of matter, scraped, manipulated and expressive. Used as a medium to convey unique experiences. This work belongs to the first stage of the artistic career of Plensa, who began to exhibit in 1980. In it he constructs the keys to what would later become his most famous works, the representation of the human figure, a reflection on identity and the interaction between man and space.Jaume Plensa studied at the Escuela de La Llotja and the Superior de Bellas Artes de Sant Jordi, both in Barcelona. He excelled in sculpture, drawing and engraving. His work focuses on the relationship between man and his environment, often questioning the role of art in society and the position of the artist. He currently lives in Paris, and was recently awarded an honorary doctorate by the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Plensa began his career working with wrought iron mixed with polyester. Between 1983 and 1984 he began to mould iron using the casting technique, and developed a sculptural concept based on zoomorphic elements. His work gradually evolved, and he is now considered a precursor of Spanish neo-expressionism. In the nineties he introduced modifications in his work in both material and formal terms, and began to use different materials such as metal scraps, polyester and resins. During these years he produced series of walls, doors and architectural constructions, seeking to give space an absolute protagonist role. Between 1999 and 2003 Plensa became one of the pillars of world scenography, reinterpreting four classical operas by Falla, Debussy, Berlioz and Mozart with "La Fura dels Baus", and alone in a contemporary theatrical production, "La pareti della solitudine", by Ben Jelloun. He has held solo and group exhibitions all over the world, including a retrospective at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in 2000. In June 2008 he unveiled his work "Breathing", a memorial to journalists killed in the line of duty, at the BBC headquarters in London. Throughout his career he has received numerous distinctions, such as the Medal of the Knights of Arts and Letters in 1993, awarded by the French Ministry of Culture, and the National Prize for Plastic Arts in 1997, awarded by the Generalitat of Catalonia. Considered one of the leading representatives of the new Spanish art of expressionist tendency, his work is present in the best national and international galleries and art fairs, as well as in the main museums of Europe and the United States, such as the MOMA in New York, the Kemper in Kansas, the Museo Patio Herreriano in Valladolid, the Palazzo Forti in Verona, the MACBA and the Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid.
