Robert Taylor Pritchett (1828 - 1907), 'Pen and Pencil Scraps from Belgium' - a sketchbook and journal of the artist's travels to Calais and Belgium, 1850, 31 pencil and watercolour sketches mounted in a full leather-bound book, with handwritten text, (five further sketches are missing), sketches around 14 x 19 cm each, volume 27 x 22 cm Before becoming an established artist and illustrator, Pritchett worked as a gun manufacturer at his father’s firm in Enfield. In 1853 he created the Pritchett bullet alongside William Ellis Metford which awarded the firm fame and success. However, the collapse of the East India Company in 1858 greatly reduced the firm’s productivity, with the former being one of the company’s primary customers.Pritchett took the opportunity to build a career as an illustrator working for Punch magazine and the publishing house Cassell, Petter, and Galpin between 1863 and 1869. He won the patronage of Queen Victoria in 1869 after she bought a painting that had been commissioned from the art dealership Thomas, Agnew & Sons. He went on to produce many watercolour illustrations of intimate events within the Royal Family up until Queen Victoria’s death.Before his career as an artist or his invention of the Pritchett bullet, he travelled to Belgium, producing this handwritten book he titled "Pen and Pencil Scraps from Belgium” in 1850. The work produced most likely went on to influence his entries to the 1851 and 1852 exhibitions at the Royal Academy of Art, which included a view of Belgium.

Inscription reading ' To Al from CMR. 1888 ' to bottom left. RUSSELL, CHARLES MARION, artist; born 19th March 1864 in St Louis, Missouri, to Charles Silas Russell (1833–1917) and Mary Mead Russell (1835–1895). His first visit to Canada was a key event in Russell’s life. He rode north from Helena, Montana, with two friends in late May 1888. Russell spends about three months in Alberta, and reportedly spends time with local Blood (Kainai) Indians. Russell returned to Helena in September, leaving behind some sketches, a finished painting of a bear, and, most impressively, an ambitious oil that he gave to Blunt, Canadian mounted police bringing in Red Indian prisoners, recording an incident witnessed on the ride north in May. In later paintings and drawings he would honour the mounted police as symbols of justice on the Canadian frontier, a notable subject for an artist who ignored the United States army’s role in “winning the west” and sympathized with the Indians in their resistance to white advance.

Noel Henry Leaver (British, 1889-1951) - A Scene of a citygate - a watercolour on paper painting. Signed lower left. Framed. Measures approx. 36cm x 52cm. Noel Leaver - Noel Henry Leaver (1889 - 1951). Born in Austwick, Yorkshire in 1889 but is better known as a Burnley artist. He started his training as an architect and became one of the youngest ever pupils of the Royal College of Art when he started his studies at 16. His earlier paintings are softer and looser than his later more accomplished works, but still show his fine understanding of detail and construction. Particularly known for his treatment of skies. Leaver won numerous scholarships and travel bursaries and used them to travel to visit Europe and Northern Africa. His earlier works in which he is still developing his style are usually signed in mixed lower & upper case Noel H LEAVER ARCA. In later life he usually signed in capitals NOEL H LEAVER, dropping the ARCA. Leaver is probably most famous for his Middle Eastern views. These are his North African based works with their distinctive vivid blue skies, arches and mosques. He is known to have widely exhibited throughout the North East, North West and Yorkshire.
