She studied at the Scarborough School of Art in the mid 1890s, during which time she began to exhibit at The Royal Academy, and she went on to attend the Academie Delecture in Paris. By 1899 she was sharing a house with three other artists in London - 3 Pomona Studios, 111 New King's Road - and exhibiting regularly in London, the provinces and the Paris Salon. A competition win led to commissions as a book illustrator, and particularly to a long working relationship with the publisher George Bell. In 1910 she illustrated an edition of 'Silas Marner' for George Bell, and illustrations were commissioned for an edition of 'The Mill on the Floss' by publishers Herbert & Daniel in 1913, but the book was never published. In 1915 Wheelhouse teamed up first with fellow artist Louise Jacobs, and then later with sculptor A.B. Ellis, to make a range of wooden toys, and she had a shop, Pomona Toys, at 64 Cheyne Walk in Chelsea from around 1916 until 1927. After this time the shop moved to 14 Holland Street, with a workshop at 28 Gunter Grove, and it continued trading until the outbreak of World War II. The company supplied the likes of Fortnum & Mason, Harrods, and Liberty's, and its most prestigious commission was the supply of toys to the royal family, including miniature items for Queen Mary's Dolls' House, such as a tiny merry-go-round for the Day Nursery (one of the photographs included in this lot shows just such a miniature carousel). 'Everybody's Book of the Queen's Dolls' House', published in 1924, makes mention of some of the items supplied: "...and then please, if you were ever a child, squeak with joy over the precious Pomona toys! Amongst these a Sedan chair with lady all complete, a Dutch cradle with child, and a swinging bird...". (an archive)

Lot 66
A 2004 Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG Kompressor automatic, ***registration number RD04 ZXC***, silver. The CL55 AMG employs a mighty handbuilt 500 bhp V8 which endows the coupé with super car performance and what the vendor describes as scarily fast. Each car has an engine plate with the name of the employee who constructed the engine etched upon it. This low mileage example (83,000 miles) is described by the vendor as being in very good condition in all respects. Finished in silver with Nappa grey leather interior, the CL55 features double glazed windows, heated and ventilated memory seats, command satellite navigation, electric sunroof, xenon headlights, keyless entry and AMG sport wheels, to name just a few of the luxury items. All of these toys did not come cheaply as the retail price at purchase was over £100,000. The Mercedes has a good service history as one would expect from a cherished example, with the service book having eight stamps, five by Mercedes main agents and three by a local specialist. The last service was carried out on 12th May 2017 at 81,641 miles, when the ATF was also changed. The last MOT was passed in April this year without any advisories. Our vendor considers this car special, and is considered by Mercedes enthusiasts and car connoisseurs, a very desirable and collectable model. ***V5C***, MOT to April 2019 See illustration
