A pair of Watercolours celebrating the destruction of the first two Rigid Airships by British Aircraft. “Lieut. Reginald Alexander J Warneford (RNAS)” and “Lieut Willian Leefe-Robinson”. Mounted framed and glazed watercolour, showing the destruction of the German Army Airship LZ37 near Ghent in Belgium, on 7 June 1915. The painting is undated but probably post 1979, and is in strong colours; it depicts Warneford in his Morane Monoplane centre right of the picture, with the LZ37 falling in flames behind him. The painting is signed at bottom right “Phil May”*. On the mounting, there has been pasted a newspaper photograph of Warneford, while at the bottom centre is pasted a printed legend reading “Lieut Reginald Alexander J Warneford (RNAS) was awarded the VC for the destruction of the German Airship LZ37 over Ghent, Flying a Morane Saulnier Type L on 7th June, 1915.”. To the reverse is a book review for the book “Warneford VC” by Mary Gibson.Reginald “Rex” Warneford was the first pilot to bring down a Zeppelin and was awarded both the VC and the French Legion of Honour. Ten days later, Warneford died in a flying accident. Also a painting by the same artist depicting the destruction of the German Navy Airship SL11 on 3rd September 1916 by Lieutenant Leefe-Robinson. SL11 was the first of the German Rigid Airships brought down over England, after many months of seeming immunity from British defences. On the evening of 3rd September 1916, SL11 under the command of Hauptman Wilhelm Schramm, was one of 16 German Airships that raided England. Leefe-Robinson was on patrol in his Be2c and after making two attacks on SL11 to no effect, he positioned himself behind the ship firing the entire contents of his last drum of ammunition into a single area. A glow, deep within the hull of the airship, was followed moments later by fire engulfing the tail section of the airship. To the sounds of cheering, singing and unalloyed joy, SL11 came to earth near the village of Cuffley. For his efforts, Leefe-Robinson was awarded the VC. Captured later in the war, Leefe-Robinson succumbed to the influenza on 31 December 1918, shortly after his repatriation. See Plate 2

Original Painting of the LZ 121 – Nordstern. Mounted, glazed and framed watercolour painting depicting the Nordstern flying over a paddle steamer, with a second Zeppelin in the distance over airship sheds. 48cmx38cm. Signed Bergen (no forename). Legend at the bottom right of the painting reads”LUFTSCHIFF NORDSTEEN(sic) – DE LAGE FRIEDRICHSHAFEN + BERLIN STAAKEN 1919” This rather nice artist’s impression is an expression of hope in the future of the Zeppelin company as a passenger transport company, sadly dashed; the ship was appropriated by the French as war reparations almost immediately after her maiden flight in June 1921.

*SHEVCHENKO, ALEXANDER(1883-1948)Portrait of the Artist’s Wife Nadezhda Psishcheva.Pencil and watercolour on paper, 23 by 26 cm.Executed c. 1908. Provenance: Acquired directly from the artist’s family, Moscow. Private collection, Europe. Alexander Shevchenko’s two remarkable portraits of his wife in this sale were painted in 1907 and 1908 and clearly represent the creative manner in which the artist was workingfrom the middle of the first decade of the century to the early 1910s. The early Shevchenko is characterised by his commitment to Impressionism, to the use of the effects of light, and to more realistic rendering of his portrait subjects. The pur- suit of a sculptural form that was new to the painter naturally tended to be subjected to the advancing influence of Cubo-Futurism, which took hold of Russian painting in the 1910s. Later, Shevchenko’s work too was to come under this influence for a few years.Both portraits depict Nadezhda Sergeievna Shevchenko (née Psishcheva) (1882–1913). As though with a foreboding of her untimely death, the artist painted his first wife’s portrait repeatedly, using various materials and techniques, of which the best examples are the earliest, painted in the years 1904–1908."
