Born in Kilmarnock, Scotland, James Hart was a leading figure of the second generation Hudson River School painters and was known for idyllic landscapes, especially with cows. His family emigrated to Albany, New York in 1830 when he was age two, and Hart, at age 15, apprenticed to a sign and banner painter in Albany. Later he switched to portrait painting.At age 22, he went to Germany and enrolled in the Dusseldorf Art Academy for three years and returned to Albany where he opened a studio and taught and painted until 1857 when he established a studio in New York City. There members of the newly rich, post-Civil War society were delighted with his serene, rural landscapes. It was a time when New York "swarmed with people newly rich and feverishly eager to acquire at once the trappings and paraphernalia of culture, oil paintings included. With such clients Hart and his brother, William, found abundant employment for their painting in a language intelligible to the artistically illiterate. James garnished his landscapes with barnyard animals, chiefly cows, and painted them with such fidelity that his delighted customers thought they could distinguish the Alderneys from the Guernseys."His farm family teased him about his painting of farm animals, saying he knew little about them first hand. In the 1840s and 1850s, he also painted panoramic, luminous landscapes in meticulous details with many figures including farmers and children. The idea was to suggest that rural America was an idyllic place.Of his cow paintings, G.W. Sheldon wrote in "American Painters": For cows and oxen, he has the fullest sympathy. Their thoughts which are not men's thoughts, their ways, which are not men's ways, and their faces which do not depend for interest upon any human likeness or suggestion, have been the objects of his studious love. He says that he likes cattle as well as landscapes---and this, for an artist like him, is saying a great deal." (50)James McDougal Hart served as the Vice President for three years of the National Academy of Design. He was voted a full member in 1859.His wife was artist Marie Theresa Gorsuch, a still-life painter, and their three children became artists: Robert Gorsuch Hart, Letitia Bonnet Hart, and Mary Theresa Hart.Please note that all sales are final.

First time to market since 1902, the 10th number plate to be issued in Birmingham!According to our vendor their great grandfather just happened to be the tenth person in line for a number plate when they were first issued in Birmingham in 1902.His name was Charles Thompson, he was born in 1874 and died in 1955. He owned a wholesale company which sold stationery to companies around Birmingham.At that time Charles, his wife Ellen (nee Fitter) and their two children Charles Raymond (Ray), our vendors grandfather and his sister Gwendoline Ellen (Gwen) were living at Robin Hood house with Charles' father in law Joseph Fitter. When Joseph Fitter died in 1923 he left the equivalent of nearly 5 million in today's money. He had clearly been very successful. On his death the family took the decision to sell Robin Hood house. It was bought by the M&B brewery and converted into a pub. It is still trading as a pub to this day.Our vendors grandfather, Ray Thompson was born in 1905 and lived for the first few years of his life at Robin Hood house. He worked as a manager of a garage for most of his working life.He married Norah Geraldine Whitmore (1898 - 1958), her father was an industrialist in Birmingham. His company produced high quality leather goods under the company name Whitmore's Makers of Birmingham. Ray and Norah had a son Joseph Barry Thompson, who was always known as Barry. When Charles Thompson died in 1955 the car, which had been kept in his garage at home with the number plate O 10, was left to our vendors father, Barry Thompson and the plate was on all of his cars for over 60 years until his death in 2017. The number plate is now held on a DVLA retention certificate. Barry spent most of his working life employed in his uncle's timber business. His role was to sell timber to companies in and around Birmingham and the Cotswolds. Our vendors father never went anywhere in these areas without being spotted in his car with the O 10 plate, something he loved.Our vendors father had the number plate on a wide variety of cars including several Austin A35s, Mini's, Vauxhall Cavaliers, Cortinas, Peugeots and most recently a couple of Jaguars. Barry was a huge sports fan, in particular he loved cricket and was a member of MCC for nearly 50 years. The number plate was regularly seen at different cricket grounds around England. He also loved Aston Villa Football Club and regularly used the car (which ever car at the time) to visit Villa Park. Since our vendors father died they have spent two years driving round with the number plate on the Jaguar and have met some interesting people who always want to know about the plate and its history. It is a wonderful conversation piece.We hope this brief history of the family and how the number O 10 came to be in their possession is of interest. They have owned the number plate for over 118 years and hope the purchaser has as much enjoyment of O 10 as their father did.Please contact Shan Stokes on 07890 0933372 / shan@silverstoneauctions.com to discuss the lot in more detail.
