Viscount Nelson Duke of Bronte Mourning Ring, 1806

The 58 mourning rings were decorated with Nelson’s initials, heraldic achievements and motto PALMAN QUI MERUIT FERAT, and inscribed 1805. John Salter managed to complete this large order ahead of Nelson’s State Funeral on 9 January 1806 at a total cost of £139 10s.

Fifty-eight of the rings were made for Nelson's friends, relatives and pallbearers after his death aboard HMS Victory at the Battle of Trafalgar in October 1805.

‘However, the most available precious commemorative is certainly a ring. Nelson rings fall into two broad categories: mourning and commemorative. The best made and best recorded mourning rings were family rings issued by Nelson’s executors after his death. Fifty-eight of these rings were the family rings issued by Nelson’s executors after his death. Fifty-eight of these were made by John Salter, a silversmith in the Strand much patronised by Nelson and from whom he bought a number of personal items, including Horatia’s silver gilt christening cap now displayed in the Royal Naval Museum.

From the ‘Nelson Companion’ by Colin White, Former Director of the Royal Naval Museum.

Dr Goulby, in a most interesting contribution to the Genealogists’ Magazine in June 1990, lists eleven now in museum collections, and thirteen in private hands:

Strictly speaking, these rings are not commemorative at all, since they were not made for general sale and were available only to a selected band of owners. They fall, perhaps, into category of personal memorabilia …’

Rarely do you see one of these rings in such fine untouched condition.

AN EARLY COPY OF A LETTER BY JAMES COOK TO JOHN WALKER OF WHITBY, REPORTING ON COOK’S FIRST VOYAGE

DOUGLAS STEWART FINE BOOKS

Captain James COOK (1728-1779)

[Joshua REEVE, copyist]

Stockton : Joshua Reeve, December 16, 1774. Manuscript, 3½ pages, [2] sheets, foolscap (260 x 230 mm), written in ink in a uniform, copperplate cursive; old folds (now fragile, one expertly repaired), each sheet with a few small perforations (not affecting legibility), some roughening to the edges and scattered spotting; signed at the foot Joshua Reeve scrpt. Stockton, Decemr. 16 1774.

A very early copy of an important, informative letter by James Cook, which contains Cook’s impressions of the indigenous people of New Holland.

The letter is addressed to John Walker of Whitby, Cook’s former master. As an apprentice, Cook had learned all he knew about ships and the sea on Walker’s vessels and in his house in Whitby, and Cook corresponded with Walker throughout his career. The present letter reports on Cook’s exploration of the Pacific during his first voyage in search of the Southern Continent in 1768-71. The copy was made for Walker by Joshua Reeve, of the neighbouring town of Stockton, while Cook was still absent on his second voyage (he was to return in July 1775). Like Walker, Reeve came from a Quaker family that had been connected with shipping for generations. Reeve made the copy within Cook’s own lifetime and scarcely more than three years after Cook’s original, which is dated London September 13th 1771. Cook had arrived back in England from his first voyage in mid-July 1771, meaning that when he set down in writing his commentary and reflections on the voyage for Walker, his impressions of events were barely a two-month old memory, still entirely fresh in his mind. Although it is not clear whether Reeve made this copy of the letter for Walker, or whether Walker allowed Reeve to make a copy of the letter for himself, the latter scenario seems the more likely.

The original letter is held in the Mitchell Library (see Beddie, 2nd edition, no. 628, with Dixson’s manuscript and typescript transcriptions). A complete facsimile, accompanied by a transcription, is published in: Captain Cook in the South Seas. Two Letters written to Captain

John Walker (Sydney : The Council of The Library of New South Wales, 1970; William Dixson Foundation, Publication no. 12).

The present copy of this letter made by Reeve is not a verbatim copy. In the course of transcribing the letter, Reeve took it upon himself to make occasional changes to Cook’s wording or style.The original letter also has a few small lacunae running across four consecutive lines (the result of breaking the seal, a commonplace occurrence), but the missing content in these small gaps has been anticipated and supplied by Reeve, who was able to divine the missing letters or words either purely from context, or else because Walker had kept the fragments of paper that had adhered to the seal. Whichever was the case, Reeve’s interpolations are one respect in which his copy differs from the original letter. These lacunae occur towards the end of the letter, at the point where Cook is discussing the natives of New Holland, ‘which I call new South-Wales‘. Cook’s impressions of the indigenous people he encountered were in stark contrast to those formed by Dampier in 1688. Dampier had described the inhabitants of Cape Leveque in northwest Australia as ‘the most miserable people in the world’. The way in which Cook describes the inhabitants of New South Wales can be understood as a deliberate revison of the view of Dampier. Cook’s original letter reads:

‘These people may truly be said to be in the pure state of Nature, and may appear to some to be the most Wretched upon Earth; but in reality they are far more happier tha… Europeans, being wholly unacquainted not only with the superfluo.. bu…. …f the necessary conveniences so much sought after i.. Eu… …ey are happy in not knowing the use of them. They live… Tr… … ity which is not disturb’d by the inequality of conditions th… Ear… …nd Sea of their own accord furnishes them with all things necessary for life; they covet not Magnificent Houses Household-Stuff &ca: they sleep as sound in a small hovel or even in the open as the King in his Pallace on a Bed of down-‘.

This passage in Reeve’s copy, with Reeve’s interpolations, reads:

‘These People may be said to be in the pure State of Nature & may appear to some to be the most wretched Creatures on Earth, but in reality they are far more happy than the Europeans being not only unacquainted with the Superfluous, but many of the unnecessary Conveniences, so much sought after in Europe, they live in great Tranquility which is not disturb’d by the inequality of Condition the Earth & Sea of their own Accord furnish them with all Things necessary for Life, they covet not

magnificent Houses, Household &c, They sleep as well in a small Hovel or even in the open Air as the King in his Palace, on a bed of Down.’

Crucially, Reeve has corrected Cook’s ‘the necessary conveniences so much sought after in Europe,’ to ‘unnecessary conveniences.’ In the context of Cook’s contemplation of the utopian state of the noble savage, and the view he is expressing of the superfluousness of the trappings of the European lifestyle, Reeve’s correction of the word ‘necessary’ to ‘unnecessary’ makes perfect sense, and it illustrates the value that a contemporary copy of such a letter may have to researchers. It seems that Reeve clearly understood that Cook had intended to write the word ‘unnecessary’. It is also interesting to note that in this passage Cook has borrowed directly from his own journal entry for 23 August 1770, in which he wrote ‘these people may truly be said to be in the pure state of nature, and may appear to some to be the most wretched upon the earth; but in reality they are far happier than … we Europeans‘. Of course, at the time of writing his letter to Walker, Cook’s journal would not have been published in any form.

Another lacuna interpolated by Reeve is located a few lines further on, where Cook writes: ‘… we arrived at Batavia in Octr. All in good helth and high spirits at the arrival…‘ Here, Reeves supplies the phrase ‘in a European Port‘. Again, this demonstrates the importance of the contemporary copyist’s ability to supply, from the context, a convincing reading of Cook’s original wording.

Cook’s views on the mode of existence of the indigenous people of the South Seas reflect Enlightenment ideals, but they would also have struck a strong chord with both John Walker and Joshua Reeve who, as Quakers, conducted their lives in accordance with the tenet of the benevolent treatment of fellow human beings. Conversely, as Walker’s apprentice and lifelong friend, Cook would most certainly have been influenced by the humanist principles of his master. In this highly important and personal letter, then, in which Cook eloquently reveals his impressions of the indigenous people of New Holland, there is in a sense the completion of a circle in the flow of ideas. Although there is no evidence to suggest that Cook was himself a member of the religious Society of Friends, there can be little doubting the extent to which Quaker morality and humanism shaped his own character and determined Cook’s behaviour towards the indigenous peoples whom he encountered.

The Oriental Rug Society of NSW Inc (ORS) was founded by oriental rug enthusiasts and collectors as a voluntary non-profit society in 1980. It holds regular meetings in which members explore the world of oriental carpets, rugs and other textiles from the tents, villages and urban workshops of Eurasia.

OUR AIMS

To foster an interest in and appreciation of oriental rugs & related textiles through exhibitions, talks and seminars.

To provide a forum for collectors, researchers and enthusiasts to examine and discuss these textiles in all their aspects.

Though oriental rugs and carpets are our primary focus, we sometimes cater to members whose textile interests extend to Central Asian ikat and embroideries and the folk textiles of other cultures, such as those of India, Southeast Asia and North Africa.

OUR ACTIVITIES

Our meetings at the National Trust Centre on Observatory Hill every two months feature talks on oriental rugs and related topics, as well as popular showand-tell sessions at which members display and talk about their favourite pieces and latest acquisitions. Our refreshments are also a big hit.

We have mounted high-quality seminars and exhibitions, often in conjunction with a major institution or Society. Members receive a regular informative newsletter by e-mail. This covers forthcoming meetings, local textile events, and various aspects of oriental rugs including design, colour, history and classification.

MEMBERSHIP

You can join the Oriental Rug Society of NSW by emailing us at info@rugsociety.org.au or go to rugsociety.org.au All are welcome – beginner and expert, keen collector and the simply curious.

I’VE BEEN FRAMED

For those of us who enjoy foraging at the bottom end of the antique market, and when we’re over buying drinks trays and pottery, then old picture frames are another item to consider. People often dispose of them because they are considered unfashionable, or the family history has been lost, or they have less wall space when they downsize. The frames themselves may be of limited collecting value but, as they can be handy for mounting spare prints, I’ve bought a few.

I have since discovered that their contents can be quite revealing in terms of Australian social history. This paper shows examples of how they can ‘get you in’. They were all collected in rural Queensland, each cost less than a good bottle of wine, and have lasted much longer.

The frames shown here contain subjects that relate to around 1900 and reflect different aspects of life at the time. The frames are original and old, although one cannot guarantee that the current contents and the frame were always together; as with furniture, ‘marriages’ (and ‘divorces’) happen. Recycling has always been a feature of picture frames, long before we were doing it to save the planet.

A charcoal portrait of an anonymous young lady in late Victorian dress is mounted in a pressed pine frame of the period (plate 1). A label on the back says that the image was mounted by Dimond Bros, who are recorded as having premises in Brisbane from 1888/89, later opening a branch in Warwick in 1897. The portrait was found in Gympie and could have originated there. With the discovery of gold in 1867, Gympie quickly became a prosperous town and some residents made fortunes. And when you are successful you need to have it recorded. Hence artists and photographers were known to visit Gympie and other regional cities to create portraits for the newly wealthy inhabitants. Advertisements show the town was visited prior to 1890 by the well-known portrait

artists Joseph Backler and Auschar Chauncy, and by photographers Thomas and Agrippa Bevan, among others. The artist of this particular portrait remains unknown, but he/she was certainly a skilled practitioner.

A hand-tinted photograph taken in about 1895 of a young girl named Ada Kuch sitting on a bentwood chair came with an attractive silky oak frame (plate 2). On the back is her story written by her daughter (since deceased). Ada Ernestina Kuch was born in 1885 in Darriman, Gippsland to Ernest and Emily Kuch nee Drienel. The family moved to regional Queensland, where in 1910 her father died; two months later, she married George Hill, formerly of Bathurst. Ada Hill died at Maryborough, Queensland in 1968. The photograph was said to have been taken ‘under a pear tree in Darriman’, but the photograph looks like a studio shot with Ada’s portrait overpainted and the background painted in. The frame is a machined moulding, hand finished with cuts and indents to make the sides resemble a line of lappets.

A black and white print of an apothecary and his spaniel has a pressed oak frame (plate 3). On the matt surround bottom left is a barely discernible stamp which under a strong lateral light reads ‘1892 The Colombian Exposition

1. Charcoal portrait of a young girl in late Victorian dress, in a pressed pine frame, with framer’s label for Dimond Bros, who operated in Brisbane and other Queensland cities from 1888. Queensland, c 1890–1900.

2. Hand-tinted studio photograph of Ada Kuch (1885–1968) as a young girl, sitting on a bentwood chair, with hand-painted background of a tree and foliage, in a silky oak frame, c 1895.

3. After Fred Hall (1860–1948), print by George Barrie of Philadelphia, showing an apothecary and his spaniel in his dispensary, made for merchandising at the World’s Columbian Exhibition, Chicago 1893, in a pressed oak frame.

Chicago Illinois 1893’ and it carries a date stamp of 14 August 1893. The Exposition was held, a year late, to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the Spanish discovery of America by Christopher Columbus. On the top in tiny print is ‘Copyrighted 1893 by Geo Barrie’.

George Barrie was a printer and publisher from Philadelphia who had commissioned etchings of high-quality contemporary paintings for making prints to sell at the Exposition. Two hundred of each were supposedly made and sold at the Exposition. The original painting for this etching was by Fred Hall (1860–1948), an accomplished English artist who exhibited at the Royal Academy and the Paris Salon. Hall mostly painted rural scenes with titles like ‘Homeward Bound’ or interiors with a single figure such as this one, with fashionably clever titles. No doubt many Australians visited the Exposition, and some would have exhibited there. But how this print ended up in rural Queensland is anyone’s guess.

A note on the back of the next image claims that the print is cut from a page from the Illustrated London News (Australasian Edition) of May 1901 and handcoloured, though it is actually a reproduction (plate 4). Old newspapers are commonly dissected for their illustrations, and popped into a mount or frame; this one is Huon pine with a fine red cedar cockbead edge. The scene is awkwardly titled ‘ELLIMAN’S FOR “OUT BACK”, QUEENSLAND’ and is subtitled ‘From a sketch by A. Esam, Melbourne, Vic’.

Arthur Esam was an English surveyor who arrived in Australia in 1870 and was known for his sketches of country life that appeared in several Australian publications. It appears most of his travels were in South Australia and he seemed to have a penchant for drawing wagons. Elliman’s Universal Embrocation was an ointment claimed to soothe stiffness, aches, pains and bruises, for both animals and humans (in that order originally).

Lastly, we have an example of a ubiquitous Pears’ print from their Annual of 1903 (plate 5). Pears' is a brand of transparent soap originally made in England and sold in several countries. The company was an active and innovative advertiser, with their prints such as John Millais’s Bubbles being readily available in their markets. These old prints are relatively common in Australia but normally faded. Fortunately this one has retained excellent colour, and is probably in its first mount. It is titled ‘Playmates’; the original oil painted in 1885 and exhibited at the Paris Salon by French artist Emile Munier (1840–1895) was entitled ‘Trois amis’ (Three friends).

This frame is hand-carved cedar and is cruciform in shape, possibly made in the Bundaberg area where it was found. It was black when purchased but cleaning revealed that the flat front surfaces had originally been painted gold. These frames are a wonderful example of how a little craftwork

could transform four sticks into a picture frame with character, although one wonders why someone painted it all black at some stage.

These five examples highlight the research that can be done on simple objects, using information provided on the objects themselves, and internet sites such as Trove and the various states’ Births, Deaths & Marriages. They show how with a small amount of effort you can uncover some delightful stories about our past, which can give our collections a little more depth. And it started out with the innocent intention of picking up a few cheap frames. So I was framed. Anyway, it helps build the case that we need a bigger house!

The back of the oval porcelain plaque has a label with its title and place of original purchase, 'Royal Worcester Factory for £25 in 1917'.

This is an example of where high-art and Royal Worcester ceramics come together. The original painting by Jean Louis Ernest Meissonier is in the Wallace Collection, London.

This is one in a small series of porcelain plaques by Hawkins that portray copies of well-known earlier oil paintings. Another example, from 1930, copy’s the famous ‘Blue Boy' painting by Thomas Gainsborough and is one of his final works.

William Hawkins started working at the Royal Worcester factory when he was 16 years-old and continued to work there until two years before he died in 1930. These years, spanning over half a century (1874 – 1928) saw many changes both in the company and in the British way of life. His painting topics reflected the many styles and preferences of the era.

THE END OF THE WAY

This large scale painting dated 1906 by Australian female artist Helen Peters relates to the 1871 poem reproduced below.

Helen Peters was born in Geelong Victoria in 1866 and studied art under Edmund Sasse, Bernard Hall, Tudor St George Tucker and Emanuel Phillips Fox. She exhibited with the Victorian Artists Society and the Yarra Sculptors' Society and was a member of the Melbourne Society of Women Painters and Sculptors. She was a respected art teacher and continued to exhibit her work including at the Royal Academy, London in 1911 and a retrospective at Geelong in 1903 where Frederick McCubbin congratulated her on her industry and standing. (McCubbin painted similar grand narrative

The “Sundownder.”

My old cowhide boots are all patchy and worn, My trousers are ragged, my jumper is torn, My billycock hat is an object forlorn, My hair is unkempt, and my beard is unshorn. And why is it so? In this fair land of gold, Whose green-swelling bosom holds riches untold, Why should I ever suffer from hunger or cold? And why don’t I grow rich as I know I grow old? I’ll tell you! Because, with my swag on my back, I keep roaming about on the Wallaby track.

When first I arrived here, fifteen years ago, My feelings were manly, my heart all aglow; But now Hope’s bright flame in my heart has burnt low, For I’ve no one to care for, and nowhere to go. As I sit by my fire, in the cold morning air, And break my night’s fast with a swagman’s rude fare, I think of the riches of which I’ve no share — I think of Life’s joys that to me are so rare; Then, with “billy” in hand, and my swag on my back, I wander away on the Wallaby track.

Like the white yeasty froth on the ocean-wave comb, On the waters of life I am merely the foam, As useless as it through the country I roam, Without one single spot I can think of as home.

I know that by some folks this land is called free, But in all of Australia, broad though it be, There’s not one ingleside where a seat’s kept for me, Not one face that grows brighter my presence to see, When weary and sad, with my swag on my back, I come trudging along on the Wallaby track.

They call me “Sundowner;” but what’s in a name?

Unless there’s attached to it some honest fame; ’Tis little I care now, for Life’s weary game

Has crushed my ambition and weakened my frame. What matters it now, that in youth I could gaze

On the future made joyous by Hope’s golden rays?

Since nought’s left but regret for my past erring ways, No prospect ahead but to finish my days,

With the sky overhead and the earth at my back, In some out-of-way spot on the Wallaby track.

O young men who come out to this fair southern clime, Draw a moral from this and be warned in time —

If you’re fast in your youth you’ll be old in your prime —

If you cling to the worldly you’ll lose the sublime —

If your evenings are passed in some flash Music Hall —

If you go to the demi-monde fancy dress ball —

subjects, including On The Wallaby Track in 1896). Helen Peters' paintings tended to portraits and sentimental figure groups. This painting, The End of the Way, was included in the 9th Federal Art Exhibition and singled out for praise in the The Advertiser newspaper (8 Nov 1906, p.5) "The End of the Way," by Helen Peters; also a Victorian artist, shows a swagman descending the hill of life and nearing the waters which, indicate the end of the journey. The conception is good, and the execution is not without merit. The follow- ing lines are attached to the frame: "Why don't I grow rich as I know I grow old? Because with. Billy in hand and my swag on my back, I wander away on the Wallaby Track."

JAMES MCCABE NO.447

An engraved gilt-brass eight-day desk chronometer, London, circa 1856. The case made by Thomas Cole, the movement probably by his brother James Ferguson Cole. The 4¾-inch silvered dial signed and numbered James McCabe, Royal Exchange, London, No.447, large diameter subsidiary seconds dial at VI and state-of-wind dial beneath XII, finely pierced blued steel fleur-delys hands, the chain fusee movement with maintaining power, Earnshaw’s spring detent escapement mounted on a sub-frame and with cut bimetallic balance and

free-sprung blued steel helical spring with terminal curves, signed and numbered on the backplate Jas. McCabe, Royal Exchange, London, No.447, the glazed bowl mounted in an elaborate pierced and foliate engraved gimbal with a trunnion-style setting, the waisted supports with mirror-backed and glazed silvered panels engraved with the monogram and arms of John Walter III, the heavily cast stand inset with a bevelled mirror, the whole finely chased and engraved with leaves and flowers 20cm by 25cm by 20.5cm; 8in by 9¾in by 8in.

Plate 1: The crest and monogram were added when given as a wedding present to the grandson of John Walter (1738 – 1812) the founder in 1785 of The Times. This grandson John Walter III (1818 – 1894) married as his second wife Flora Munro Macnab in 1861. The clock bears her monogram and his arms. The cage work surrounding the dial is seen on Cole carriage clocks. The arms and crest A stork drinking out of a whelk shell are those of John Walter III of Bearwood. Burke’s General Armory, Walter of Bearwood.

John Walter (II) (1776-1847), established the great newspaper of which his father had sown the seed, was born on the 23rd of February 1776, and was educated at Merchant Taylors’ School and Trinity College, Oxford. About 1798 he was associated with his elder brother Walter in the management of his father’s business, and in 1803 became not only sole manager but also editor of The Times. The second John Walter was a very remarkable man. His greatness must be measured by the work he did. He found The Times one of a number of unconsidered journals whose opinions counted for little, and whose intelligence lagged far behind official reports, the accuracy of which they had no independent means of checking. He found it unregarded by the great

except when a stringent law of libel enabled them to inflict vindictive punishment in the pillory and in prison for what in our days is ordinary political criticism. He left it in 1847 a great organ of public opinion, deferred to and even feared throughout Europe, consulted and courted by cabinet ministers at home, and in intimate relations with the best sources of independent information in every European capital... for the collection of news. These are the things that went to the making of The Times, and the measure of the greatness of the second John Walter is that he supplied them all.

John Walter (III) (1818-1894), his eldest son, was born at Printing-house Square in 1818, and was educated at Eton and Exeter College, Oxford, being called to the bar in 1847. On leaving Oxford he took part in the business management of The Times, and on his father’s death became sole manager, though he devolved part of the work on Mr Mowbray Morris. He was a man of scholarly tastes and serious religious views, and his conscientious character had a marked influence on the tone of the paper. It was under him that the successive improvements in the printing machinery, begun by his father in 1814, at last reached the stage of the “Walter Press” in 1869, the pioneer of modern newspaper printing-presses…He was twice married, first in 1842 to Emily Frances Court (d.1858), and secondly in 1861 to Flora Macnab.
