TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR THESE ARE 19TH CENTURY NOT 18TH AS PREVIOULY NOTED19th Century photographs of New Guinea. Twenty-five mounted prints mainly measuring 29 x 23 cm, and mainly covering the declaration of the British Protectorate along the south-eastern coastline of New Guinea, from Motu-Motu in the West, to Killerton Island in the East. The various flag raising ceremonies were performed by Commodore James Elphinstone Erskine (1838-1911), of the Australian station, who in turn appointed Hugh Hastings Romilly (1856-1892) as Acting Deputy Commissioner until the arrival of Sir Peter Scratchley the following year. Charles Lyne, correspondent for the 'Sydney Morning Herald', and covering the expedition for that paper, gives a detailed account of the journey in 'New Guinea' (Sampson Low, London, 1885). Rhodes House Library has a volume of 'Narrative of the expedition of the Australian Squadron to the South Eastern coast of New Guinea October to December 1884' containing chromolithographic illustrations and thirty six of these photographs. ( See http://cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/view/PH-Y-03084-A/12 ). Images include:-First gathering of Native Chiefs aboard H.M.S. 'Nelson', Port Moresby, November 5th. The Reverend James Chalmers was sent out to persuade local chiefs to come on board H.M.S. 'Nelson', and here Commodore Erskine explains the meaning of the protectorate to them. He is here seen shaking hands with Boe Vagi, as he presents him with his ebony stick of authority ('rather a nice idea' Romilly remarks). The other chiefs sit on the deck, while the ship's company is gathered behind. Various national flags have been draped above the deck as awnings. Behind Erskine, in white suit and topee stands Reverend Lawes, interpreting, and between Erskine and Boe Vagi is H.H. Romilly. In the foreground, back to camera between Lawes and Erskine, is probably Captain Bridge of H.M.S. 'Espiegle'. The portly bearded figure in a topee behind Lawes is possibly Henry Chester, who announced the annexation of South-eastern New Guinea on behalf of the Queensland Government in April 1883. :- The reading the proclamation of annexation, Mr Lawe's house, Port Moresby, New Guinea, November 1884 / photographer John Paine or Augustine E.

Robert Griffiths Hodgins (South African, 1920-2010)Balancing Act: a triptych (2003) bottom panel titled, signed and dated (verso)oil on canvaseach panel 91.5 x 122cm (36 x 48 1/16in).(3)Footnotes:ProvenanceAcquired from Simon Mee Fine Art, London in 2003.ExhibitedLondon, Simon Mee Fine Art, Robert Hodgins, September 2003. 'There are paintings that stem from memory and from a sombre look at the human condition. Paintings about the construction and confusion of contemporary urban life, but also paintings about the pleasures of being alive, pleasures that crowd in upon the pessimism everywhere - that crowd in and refuse to be ignored' (Robert Hodgins, Goodman Gallery, 2000).This triptych, with its vibrant colours and playful composition, perfectly communicates the joys of existence. Looking at the orange, red, and yellow hues, one can almost feel the sun one's face. The comic incongruity of the precariously balanced acrobat in his crisp business suit is a reminder that life's absurdity is something to be celebrated; we should not fall into the trap of taking ourselves too seriously.This drive to find fun, to seek pleasure, was partly born out of the artist's experiences during the Second World War. He joined the South African Union Defence Force in 1940, and saw active service in Kenya and Egypt before being discharged. At the end of the war, he returned to London. This gloomy period, with rationing still in full force and many in mourning, continued to inform his outlook for the rest of his life. One should not take beauty for granted; it should be savoured.Hodgins painted Balancing Act at the age of 83. The impressive scale and energy of the piece reveal a man determined to live life to the full, even in his twilight years.BibliographyS.Fraser, ed. Robert Hodgins, (Cape Town, 2002), pp.12-13.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Demas Nwoko (Nigerian, born 1935)Still life, 1965 signed and dated 'Demas Nwoko/ 1965' (lower right)oil on board 91 x 61cm (35 13/16 x 24in).Footnotes:The above work exhibits the concept of Natural Synthesis as was set forth by members of the Zaria Art Society. They called for the merging of the best of Western and Nigerian traditions, forms and ideas into a hybrid art-making practice and conceptual framework. The concept was developed in the late 1950s and early 1960 alongside a gathering momentum towards independence in search of a modern art that would suit the new nation. Here Nwoko following his study of scenography and theatre design in Japan in the early 1960s has flattened the spare composition in the tradition of the Japanese Ikebana floral arrangements.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A New Zealand Totara Knot and Hinan wood occasional table, by Johan Marti Levien, second quarter 19th century, the rounded rectangular tilt-top above a faceted baluster support with a foliate carved collar, on a concave-sided platform with scroll feet and castors, 71cm high, 61cm wide 48cm deep, the top of the block bearing a manuscript label 'this wood imported from Wellington - New Zealand - the native names are Totara with Hinan border and manufactured G.D.M Levene, New Zealand House, New Broad St .... London Johan Martin Levien (1811-1871) was born in Barth, a sea-port in Western Pomerania, Prussia where he undertook his cabinet-making apprenticeship, becoming a Master in 1831. He followed this with an extensive period of travel, visiting Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Russia and Hamburg. During his time in Europe he was not only able apply refine his skills but he also attended various schools of drawing and design prior to setting sail for Pernambuco in Brazil in 1837 to set up his own business. Unfortunately the climate did not suit his health, causing him to leave for Rio de Janeiro c. 1840. Here Levien devoted himself to sourcing exotic timber specimens amongst the interior forests. His appetite for collecting rare wood samples lead him to Wellington, New Zealand later the same year where he believed unknown timbers awaited his discovery. These were very early days for settlers which necessitated Levien building his own house with the assistance of local Maoris - a primitive rush construction secured by poles in ground. Once settled he began exploring the hinterland forests to identify suitable cabinet timbers, drawing on the experience he had gained in Brazil. Here he selected a range of native timbers including Hinau, Kauri, Mai, Matai, Rata, Rimu and Totara. This was heavy work as the newly hewn trees had to be carried back through the forest to the base camp before they could be sawn into planks. Some of the trees were over a hundred feet tall with boughs up to twelve feet in diameter. When Levien arrived in Wellington he could neither speak English or Maori but quickly assimilated both languages and built up a rapport with the native tribesmen. He built a beachside store and workshop on what is now known as Lambton Quay and shortly after married an English woman of high social standing. By 1843 he had built a flourishing business as a contemporary report recorded: 'Mr Levien...has been industriously employed in proving the value of our forests, by working native woods in all descriptions of furniture. His work is beautifully executed, and his prices moderate'. The report went on to state 'We are glad to find a considerable quantity of furniture wood being shipped by all the vessels now proceeding from this port to England. Mr Levien...proceeds in the brig Victoria to London, with a view of establishing a warehouse for the manufacture and sale of New Zealand wood ...Mr Levien takes with him a large quantity of choice specimens of our woods, carefully selected by himself, and well seasoned before embarked...'.However Levien was never to return to New Zealand, possibly for a combination of reasons including the unrest in that country arising over land rights and his rapid establishment of a business premises in London. This was located at the New Zealand Company, Broad Street and a letter from London, dated 17 October 1844 testifies to his success. It noted that 'Levien has an order from the Baron of Rothschild to fit up an entire room with totara and hinau; old Mr.Rothschild is about to do the same thing, and Gillow, Doubiggen, and some others of the cabinet-makers have purchased good quantities of his woods'. On 5 August 1846, Levien received a Royal Appointment, recorded in London Sun of 22 August under the heading MR. LEVIEN. HIS SPLENDID WORKMANSHIP FOR THE QUEEN, AND THE FURNITURE WOODS FROM NEW ZEALAND: 'We are happy to announce that her Majesty has been pleased to confer upon Mr Levien the appointment of cabinet-maker to her Majesty, in token of the very elegant specimens of workmanship made by him from the woods of New Zealand. Her Majesty the Queen was the first to patronise him. And he has secured great favour with her Majesty by his workmanship, his skill, and his woods'.One of Levien's most important early patrons was the Prussian Chevalier Bunson (later Baron Bunsen) who introduced him Frederick William IV, King of Prussia. In 1848 the King presented Levien with a gold medal, 'awarded by the Prussian Court to persons of distinguished merits in the arts' and conferred on him a Royal Appointment. This lead to a series of high profile commissions as recorded in the Morning Post 'Amongst the English nobility and gentry, whose patronage he is experiencing, we may also mention Lord Ingestre, Lord Ilchester, Baron Rothschild, John Abel Smith, Stewart Marjoribanks, G. Tomline...' Later in 1848 Levien married again to Mary Ann Willson and moved to new premises at 10 Davies Street, Grosvenor Square. Throughout the 1840s Levien succeeded in swimming against the tide of conservatism as English furniture was almost exclusively manufactured out of mahogany, walnut, rosewood and oak at this time. That Levien had tested each of his woods brought him public confidence and convinced his clientele of the suitability of his chosen New Zealand timbers. He recommended tawhero (Weinnannia sylvicola), for instance, as a substitute for mahogany, and suggested specific purposes for other particular veneers. However, above all Totara Knot was the most easily distinguishable. It was described in a contemporary periodical as 'of a colour something between bird maple and the walnut, bears a high polish, and displays an exquisite grain in fine and various lines of softening tint', and its durability is manifested by the fine condition of pieces of furniture made from it in existence today'.Levien continued to successfully promote his business throughout the following decades and this included his participation in a series of international exhibitions including The Great Exhibition, London 1851; The Dublin Exhibition, 1853, The Paris Exhibition, 1855 (where he received a medal) and The International Exhibition, London 1862. Few pieces of his furniture bear a label or signature, although many pieces are known through exhibition catalogue engravings and other puplications including 'Art Furniture'- Woods of New Zealand, and their adaptability to art furniture, James S. Virtue, London, 1861. Levien's work is recorded in the English Royal collection, and exhibited at The Museum of New Zealand. He continued trading until 1868 when he sold the business and died three years later in 1871. His Totara Knot sideboard, exhibited at The Great Exhibition 1851 sold for £380,000 at Sotheby's in 1998, one of the highest auction prices ever achieved for an item of 19th century furniture.
