2 WW1 death plaques, both relating to Ann Ellen Jones, who was widowed twice as a result of the conflict, in 1917 and in the subsequent years after WW1. To include: a death plaque named to 36516 Sgt William James Hopkinson of the 9th Leicestershire Regiment, who was killed in action on April 12th 1917. Plus, a death plaque named to William Marshall. Plus a WW1 1916 dated Active Service Testament, with Lord Roberts message to the troops on the inside cover, and also named to its original owner, 12220 L/Cpl S.Tattersall 4th Manchester Regiment. Notes: information supplied by the vendor (which are also backed by official records), state that both plaques were issued to Ann (as next of kin) in respect of her two former husbands. Ann Ellen Hopkinson nee Jones was married to Sgt William James Hopkinson at the time of his death in 1917. Ann Ellen Hopkinson remarried William Marshall on June 9th 1919 in Bradford. It’s unclear which regiment William Marshall served in, and in what capacity. He does not appear on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission website, which would suggest that he passed away past the cut off period of 1921. The fact that he was issued a death plaque would suggest that he died as a result of injuries sustained during the conflict, and it could have been issued as late as the 1930’s. The William James Hopkinson plaque is Woolwich Arsenal marked to the reverse. 3 items. Condition: both good. Evidence of polishing, with light wear to the high points and ingrained polish to the grooves of the design. There are one or two verdigris spots, but nothing that is detrimental. The Active Service Testament as a little dog eared at the corners, but otherwise good.

Catherine [Kitty] Stephens (1794-1882), singer and actress; letter to Mr Moore, requesting one of his men to bring ‘one pair of the very thin silk stockings’; Friday, c1820With a cut-down engraving [by Cooke, from a painting in the possession of Thomas Walsh], of Miss Stephens [in the role of Diana Vernon in Rob Roy MacGregor; published by Simpkin and Marshall, stationers, 1820]Daughter of a London carver and gilder, her opera career lasted from 1812 until 1838, when she married the octogenarian Earl of Essex. Following his death the following year she continued to live at 9 Belgrave Square until her own death in 1882. A testament to her reputation was her reception at court by Queen Victoria, who recorded in her journal that Lord Essex had been ‘excessively pleased’ by her ‘having called up Lady Essex … at the Ball and having spoken to her’.The addressee is perhaps Joseph Moore (1766-1851), entrepreneur and promoter of musical and choral festivals at Birmingham, Malvern and York (ODNB).iii.

Her father Manuel García was a celebrated tenor much admired by Rossini, having created the role of Count Almaviva in his The Barber of Seville. At the age of eight she appeared on stage at Naples with her father in Ferdinando Paër’s Agnese. She made her début at the Paris Opéra in 1828. Triumphs followed in London (Covent Garden début 1833), Naples, Rome, Bologna, Venice, Lucca, and Milan (La Scala début 1834). In 1836 married the Belgian violinist Charles de Bériot with whom she had lived since 1830. Malibran moved to England in 1834 and began to perform in London and the continent. In April 1836 she fell from horse in London, while pregnant, her injuries leading to her death in September, when she collapsed after singing a duet at a Manchester festival.Ferdinando Paer (1771-1839) was an Italian composer known for his operas. In 1812, he became conductor of the Opéra-Italien in Paris. He retained this post after theRestoration while accepting those of chamber composer to the king and conductor of the private orchestra of the Duke of Orléans. In 1823, he retired from the Opéra-Italien and was succeeded by Rossini.v. Marie Taglioni (1804-1884), ballet dancer; letter to Monsieur Dupouchet; requests a box and some tickets for this evening; Monday, c1840With a lithograph of a portrait of Taglioni by François Séraphin Delpech (1778-1825); [Paris, 1832]Born in Sweden, Taglioni was one of the most celebrated dancers of the romantic ballet, which was cultivated primarily at Her Majesty’s Theatre in London and at the Théâtre de l’Académie Royale de Musique of the Paris Opera Ballet. She is credited with (though not confirmed as) being the first ballerina to truly dance en pointe. It was in Russia after her last performance in the country (1842) and at the height of the ‘cult of the ballerina’, that a pair of her pointe shoes were sold for two hundred roubles, reportedly to be cooked, served with a sauce and eaten by a group of balletomanes.vi. Joseph Alfred Novello (1810-1896), music publisher; letter to Joshua French, Gentleman of Her Majesty’s Chapels Royal, Windsor; 69 Dean Street Place, 3 May 1843Thanks to his note they put off their visit to Windsor, as well on account of the rain; encloses a letter of Rossini [not present] ‘whose letters are scarce as he generally write [sic] by his secretary’; many thanks for the facsimilesThe letter was written as Novello embarked on a project to publish cheap music for the mass singing-class movement, enthusiastically supported by those concerned with working-class morality in an age of political and industrial radicalism. In 1842 he published Joseph Mainzer's sight-singing manual Singing for the Million and the weekly Mainzer's Musical Times and Singing-Class Circular.

A RARE CHARLES I ROYALIST STUMPWORK AND HAIR WORK EMBROIDERED PICTURE DATED 1649 Depicting a bust of King Charles I on pedestal dated 1649, flanked by attendant figures of man and wife, amongst scrolling foliage, the portrait and figures with hair work, the whole with glass eye detailing, small bead and metal thread embellishment, needlework and raised work Later framed and glazed, the panel 20cm x 18cm, the frame 24.5cm x 22.3cm The portrait of Charles I is probably derived from the title page to Thomas Fuller's ''The Holy State'' by William Marshall. Dated portraits of Charles I are rare- although in this case it would seem likely that the picture is after his death- and commemorates the loyalty of the husband and wife depicted to the dead monarch. The use of hair is, again, unusual, but not unknown at this date. A needlework picture dated to 1646 was offered for sale at Sotheby's New York, 7th April 2004, lot 67. Like this example it combined needlework, raised work and the inclusion of real human hair to depict the King's coiffure.

Huggins 1840' Exhibition and gallery labels, verso.  Provenance:  Ex-Collection, the Master of Kinnarid; with Ackerman & Johnson, 1966, from whom purchased by; Mary Lou Cashman, Illinois. Exhibited: Oscar and Peter Johnson Ltd., The Lowndes Lodge Gallery, November 1966, no. 39.Lot Essay: William Huggins was born in Liverpool in 1820, and is not to be confused with the earlier maritime painter, William John Huggins (1781 - 1845). Huggins shared many characteristics with George Stubbs, revealing a precocious talent for drawing and painting. Aged only 15, he won a prize at the Liverpool Mechanics Institute, where he studied before entering the Liverpool Academies School, with Richard Ansdell, in 1835. Huggins spent much time at the zoological Gardens in Liverpool, studying the animals, as well as following Wombwell's Menagerie from place to place. It wasn't until 1850, however, the he was to become a full member of the Liverpool Academy. Like Stubbs, who, much to his own annoyance, was never able to rid himself of the label 'horse painter', Huggins was unable to escape from the description of 'animal painter', despite his evident dislike of the term. In the first half of the 19th century, as in the 18th century, the hierarchy of painting was comparatively rigid, and being an animal painter did not carry as much weight as being either a portrait or a landscape painter. However, in Liverpool, there was only a limited market for history painting during that period, and, as elsewhere in the provinces, portraits, landscapes, and animal paintings were popular instead. Ben Marshall (1768 - 1835), a Leicestershire painter, once said, "I discover many a man who would pay me 50 guineas for painting his horse, who thinks 10 guineas is too much for painting his wife." Huggins' technique is very particular to him, as he employed a very distinctive glazing of colours on his prepared boards and canvases. Typically, he used a white millboard as the ground for his transparent glazes. His knowledge of animal anatomy was profound. E. Rimbault Dibdin, in his article on Liverpool-born animal painters (Art Journal, 1904), praised Huggins as a master; "Both as an executant in paint, and as a consummate expert in knowledge of animal form and character, Huggins was qualified to out-distance both Landseer and Ansdell." It was only his shy and slightly eccentric character that stopped Huggins from doing so. Dimensions: (Panel) 20 in. (H) x 26 in. (W) (Frame) 25 in. (H) x 31.25 in. (W)

His works circulated widely in manuscript during his lifetime and, published posthumously by Humphrey Moseley, were bought in large numbers and read with eagerness and admiration during the Interregnum and after.

The playwrights Beaumont and Fletcher were regarded in their time as two men so closely in harmony as to constitute one mind: 'Beaumont bringing the ballast of judgement, Fletcher the sail of phantasy… He who has not perused Beaumont and Fletcher can have no complete idea of the riches of English poetry' (Allibone I, 150-151).This first collected edition of Beaumont and Fletcher’s plays was, like that of Shakespeare, published posthumously and dedicated by ten actors (including John Lowin and Richard Robinson) to Philip, Earl of Pembroke and Montgomery, and with an Address to the Reader by James Shirley (the Dramatist) who is generally regarded as the editor of the work. 'This edition, which is said to have been edited by Shirley though the amount of revision he did is not known, contains all of the hitherto unpublished plays by Beaumont and Fletcher except the Wild-Goose Chase, the manuscript of this last having been lost' (Pforzheimer 53). With an astonishing twenty-two leaves devoted to poetic encomia of the authors, including first printings of poems by Jonson, Herrick, Milton Lovelace, Shirley and Waller, the publication of the Comedies and Tragedies occupied eight printers.

William Morris (1834–1896) was a prominent British artist, designer, writer, and social activist who played a significant role in the Arts and Crafts Movement. Born in Walthamstow, England, Morris's multi-faceted talents spanned various creative disciplines, from textile design and printmaking to literature and social reform. He championed the idea of elevating craftsmanship to an art form, emphasizing the value of handcrafted goods and reviving traditional artisanal techniques in an industrialized world. Through his work at Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co. (later Morris & Co.), he produced intricate and intricate textile patterns, wallpapers, and decorative arts that embodied the movement's ethos of blending beauty, utility, and craftsmanship. Additionally, Morris was a prolific writer, publishing poetry, essays, and translations, often expressing his views on aesthetics, social inequality, and the impact of industrialization on society. His influential utopian novel "News from Nowhere" envisioned a society rooted in artistry, communal living, and a deep connection to nature. Morris's commitment to social justice and his advocacy for the preservation of traditional craftsmanship left an enduring impact on the design world and the broader Arts and Crafts Movement, inspiring generations of artists, designers, and activists to prioritize the marriage of art and social responsibility.Measures 22 x 28.

Constable executed the V&A’s work whilst staying in Colchester with William Mason (1768-1840), a solicitor and relation by marriage. Graham Reynolds saw the present work in 1973 and dated it to 1813. The sheet of the present work is, however, very slightly larger than the sheets of the V&A’s sketchbook, which perhaps indicates that either it was a one-off drawing on a loose sheet, or that our work was originally part of a different sketchbook, which would have been detached and gifted, possibly to William Mason himself. The figure in the lower right could in fact be a depiction of Mason.Although the present sketch is closely related to Constable’s work of 1813, it could alternatively have been executed the following year, when Constable was known to have stayed with Revd W. W. Driffield at Feering, near Colchester. Constable and Driffield toured the south of Essex together, although the exact spots they visited are unknown.We are grateful to Anne Lyles for her assistance cataloguing the present work.
