Philip John Ouless (Jersey, 1817-1885), The paddle steamer "Superb" of Jersey. oil on canvas, signed and dated 1856 lower left, modern reproduction gilded frame with gadrooned sight edge and lamb's tongue ornament. 16 x 26in. (40.5 x 66cm.). * Provenance: Sotheby's, London, The Marine Sale, 6th November 2007, lot 135. £29,300 . ** Notes: The paddle steamer Superb was registered in Jersey in 1850 and was intended to carry passengers and cargo between the Channel Islands and France. Owned by Thomas Rose, a Jersey merchant, he was keen to embrace steam power as a method of propulsion for vessels being an enthusiast for innovation and progressive ideas. Sadly the Superb did not serve its owner very long. On 24th September 1850 she was wrecked on the Minquiers rocks south of Jersey. Her master, John Priaulx, had unwisely agreed to the request of his passengers to detour via the Minquiers to see the wreck of another Thomas Rose paddle steamer, the Polka, which had been lost a few days before on 17th September 1850. The son of a Jersey auctioneer, Philip John Ouless was born in St Helier in 1817. He was brought up at 8 Royal Square but sadly, when he was 19, his father died of cholera and his mother the year after. He went to study in Paris around this time and for ten years seems to have lived and worked in Paris and Jersey. It was while in Paris that he met his wife Caroline and they had their first child Henry. During these early years he produced mostly landscape and coastal views in watercolour and oils and he found a ready market among publishers who reproduced his views of Jersey and sold them as collections of prints to the increasing number of visitors to the island. The first of these was published by Philip Falle in 1840 titled the Scenic Beauties of the Island of Jersey. He also illustrated a number of books and derived an income from the sale of individual lithographs after major works such as his Gorey Races held on Grouville Common in 1849. He also recorded a number of events in the Island, particularly shipwrecks, for reproduction in engraved form for the Illustrated London News. To commemorate the visit of Queen Victoria to Jersey in 1846, he produced eleven watercolours, which were published in an album the following year. He was also commissioned to paint portraits. From the evidence of sketchbooks and studies recently discovered, Ouless made an extensive journey through the Rhine in the summer of 1845 and also made frequent visits to Brittany and Normandy between 1846-59. In 1847 the family returned to Jersey and settled at 53 Paradise Row, New Street where he advertised himself as a "portrait, landscape and marine painter". However, it was only after 1850 that he began his career as a ship portrait painter. Ouless's reputation for painting ship portraits quickly spread in the island and he received numerous commissions from ship owners and their masters for pictures of newly launched vessels, benefiting from the boom in shipbuilding during the 19th century. By the middle of the 18th century shipping provided the greatest source of wealth for the Island and patrons in the form of a powerful middle class of merchants and ship owners emerged. Although a few artists earned their living painting portraits most artists associated with Jersey in the 18th & 19th centuries were marine painters. Over the course of the 19th century over 700 vessels were built in Jersey and this provided the artist with ample opportunity for commissions. His reputation also spread outside the island and he attracted many commissions from ship owners on the mainland. Ouless usually showed the ship in profile and occasionally he produced pairs showing the ship in full sail on a bright day and another of the ship in rough weather. To meet the exacting demands of his patrons who were knowledgeable about the rigging of vessels, the set of the sails and other details Ouless put great emphasis on accuracy of observation. He also applied this rigour to his topographical views which today make them a reliable historical record of the island in the 19th century.

Serres first left France to journey to Spain and become a ship's captain, sailing to Cuba.

Kentridge later acknowledged the importance of the older man's guidance, crediting him as an invaluable mentor:'Harold was one of the most extraordinary advocates I have ever heard in any court. It is not easy to anyalze or even describe the essence of his brilliance. His performance in court was in every case based on meticulous preparation...yet it was always delivered with spontaneous eloquence which gripped the listener. He was always able to command the interest, if not the sympathy, of the judges.'Harold Hanson also had a keen appreciation for the arts.
