The third son of John Wodehouse, 2nd Earl of Kimberley and Isabel Geraldine Stracey, Countess of Kimberley, of Kimberley House, Wymondham, Norfolk. He was educated at Eaton and served with the 16th (The Queen’s) Lancers. During the First World War the Regiment served continuously in France and Flanders in the 3rd Cavalry Brigade with the 5th Lancers. Brigadier (later General) Gough, a 16th Lancer, commanded the Brigade. The First World War did not provide any great scope for cavalry warfare; as a result there were few incidents where the cavalry came into its own. Of particular note was the charge of Lord Strathcona’s Horse at Moreuil Wood on the 30th March 1918. In this action the Strathcona’s counter attack on the advancing Germans, prevented them breaking through the thin British line. The 3rd Cavalry Brigade supported the Strathcona’s and the 16th Lancers played a leading part protecting the Canadian right flank. The 16th were positioned outside the wood and prevented German reinforcements reaching the positions that the Strathcona’s were trying to clear. Lord Strathcona’s Horse is today one of the allied regiments of The Queen’s Royal Lancers. Edward Wodehouse was killed in action on 30 March 1918 at the age of 19. (1) £300-500

Born in Hammersmith, Spear attended the local art school before going on to the Royal College of Art in 1930. He began his teaching career at Croydon School of Art, and taught at the Royal College of Art from 1948 to 1975. Initially influenced by Sickert and the Camden Town Group, and the portraiture of the Euston Road School, his work often has a narrative quality, with elements of humour and respectful satire. Because he used a wheelchair due to childhood polio, much of his work focused on his immediate surroundings, and he is especially known for his quirky studies of domestic cats. A retrospective of Spear’s work was held at the Royal Academy in 1980. His work is represented in the Tate Gallery Collection. (1) £3000-5000

Tissot's mixture of biblical reference and modern subject matter, was enthusiastically received by the public.

170* Barker (Thomas, of Bath, 1769-1847). A lithographic stone with original study of a man in rustic costume with walking stick and basket, for ‘Impressions of Rustic Figures After Nature’, early 19th c., orig. drawing on lithographic stone, monogram present, image slightly rubbed, image dimensions 22 x 14cm (8.75 x 5.5ins), stone 24.5 x 16.5cm (9.75 x 6.5ins) There are thirty-one known examples of Thomas Barker’s lithographic stones, all of which are in the collection at the Victoria Art Gallery in Bath. Eighteen of the stones are for ‘Forty Lithographic Impressions from Drawings by Thomas Barker Selected from his Studies After Nature’ published in 1813. A further eight in the collection were drawn for ‘Thirty Two lithographic Impressions from Pen Drawings of Landscape Scenery’, published in 1814. It is very unusual for lithographic stones to have survived preserving an original illustration. The stones were highly expensive to produce and were usually reground and reused. Stones were hired out to artists by the printer for approximately a week at atime, but Barker appears to have owned his own lithographic stones. His stones are likely to be white lias limestone quarried from the Bath area. Unlike those for ‘Landscape Scenery’ the stones for ‘Rustic Figures’ have similar dimensions. In 1803 Barker was asked to contribute to the first major publication of English lithographs, Specimens of Polyautography, for Alois Senefelder’s agent in London. In 1813, the printer D.J.Redman moved to Bath at Barker’s invitation and set up a lithographic press, making Bath the centre of artistic lithography for a while. The success of the press in Bath arose partly from the plentiful supply of good quality local limestone. That same year, Redman published Barker’s Impressions of Rustic Figures After Nature, a set of forty figure studies. The following year Redman published a companion set of Barker’s landscape studies. To Barker’s disappointment, neither group was a financial success: in 1815 Redman returned to London, and Barker stopped producing lithographs. Barker’s ‘Impressions of Rustic Figures After Nature’, was the first single-artist collection of lithographs ever printed in England. (1) £300-500

Winifred was the daughter of (Anthony) Frederick Sandys, the English painter and draughtsman. Frederick Sandys, son of the portrait painter Anthony Sandys, was born and trained at Norwich. Working in a Pre-Raphaelite vein Millais thought highly of him and Rossetti, with whom he lived briefly in Cheyne Walk, Chelsea, considered him to be ‘the greatest of living draughtsmen’. He contributed numerous drawings for periodicals of the day including Cornhill Magazine and Good Words. In the 1860s he began to exhibit paintings, the best known being ‘Vivien’ (1863), ‘Morgan le Fay’ (1864), ‘Cassandra’ and ‘Medea’. He also made a number of chalk drawings of men of letters, including Tennyson, Browning and Matthew Arnold. ‘Sandys’s own favourite among his wood engravings was the ‘Amor Mundi’, which appeared in The Shilling Magazine (1865) as an illustration for Christina Rossetti’s poem. The ‘Amor Mundi’ [a reversed image of the example included in this lot] is a beautiful, slightly unpleasant, and extraordinarily suggestive drawing, depicting two lovers strolling down the easy part of sensuality to the hidden hollow where death lies waiting. Not Death as he is usually symbolized, but the dead and corrupted body of this very woman, now hanging in foolish soulless laughter on her lover’s arm. A rat gnaws at the tattered wrist of the corpse, whose flesh Christina describes as ‘pale’, but to which Sandys has given the terrible hues of putrefaction, ’ (Forrest Reid, ‘Illustrators of the Eighteen Sixties’ (1928), p. 60.

193* La Touche (Rose, 1848-1875, attrib.). “Pussy Willow”, watercolour drawing of a stem of pussy willow, 77 x 178mm (3 x 7ins), mounted, framed and glazed A faint and difficult to decipher pencil inscription below the image in Ruskin’s hand appears to read: ‘Rosie’s cup - is served with the water of the woods... ‘ followed by one or two additional indistinct words in the same hand. Rose La Touche was the love of John Ruskin’s life. He first met Rose as her drawing teacher, when she was a mere ten years old and he was forty. Ruskin very quickly fell in love with her. Rose was his ‘Rosie pet’ and ‘Rosie puss’ and her pet name for him was ‘St. Crumpet’. She was a high-spirited child, yet also deeply religious, almost to the point of mania. Ruskin’s first impression of her was that she “walked like a little white statue through the twilight woods, talking solemnly”. Ruskin was a frequent visitor to her home; he was in the habit of collecting wild flowers and leaves for Rose and her sister to paint, and at times in their somewhat tortured relationship she is known to have given him flowers as emblems. He proposed marriage to Rose at seventeen, when he was fifty. She did not refuse, but her pious Protestant parents opposed the marriage, regarding Ruskin as a socialist and an atheist. They were also concerned because of the failure of Ruskin’s first marriage to Effie Gray, which had ended with an annulment on the grounds of his ‘incurable impotency’, a diagnosis Ruskin later disputed. Ruskin repeated his marriage proposal after Rose became legally free to decide for herself, but she still refused to commit to marriage because of religious differences. Rose died in 1875 at the age of twenty-seven, in a Dublin nursing home, where she had been placed by her parents. The cause of her death has been ascribed variously to madness, anorexia, a broken heart, religious mania and hysteria, or a combination of these. Whatever the reason, her death was tragic and it is generally credited with causing the bouts of insanity which afflicted Ruskin from around 1877. (1) £500-800

Inscribed in manuscript on the verso of the frame: ‘Bought July 1956 of Mr. Telford of Grasmere who bought at the sale of effects at Brantwood pictures and sketches some by John Ruskin. J.A. Holland’. Ruskin’s affinity with Alpine scenery in general, and the Matterhorn in particular, is well documented. In one respect he was an Alpine pioneer, not as a climber, but as one who encouraged a widespread love and understanding of Alpine scenery. He was the first to draw the Matterhorn accurately, and apparently the first to photograph it too. When, in 1844, Ruskin made his first sketch of the majestic mountain which he then supposed to be the Matterhorn, it was some thirteen years before the founding of the Alpine Club in London, around thirteen years before any serious attempt was made to climb the Matterhorn, and twenty-one years before its summit was gained by Edward Whymper. Ruskin’s painstakingly precise, yet romantically atmospheric, images of the Matterhorn were to spawn a host of paintings of the great mountain amongst his circle, students and followers.

Six engravings of Sporting Dogs, Flat coat Retriever and Duck, German Short-haired Pointer, Border Terrier, Black Labrador, Springer Spaniel with Duck and Gordon Setters, six engravings with hand colouring, each signed by the artist in the lower left corner and limited to 150 & 250, image size 17.5 x 22.5cm (7 x 9ins), mounted Trained by Robert Austin and Malcolm Osborne at the Royal College of Art, Wilkinson went on to study in Heidelberg, France and Italy. Whilst at the Royal College he met George Vernon Stokes, the famous canine etcher, and Wilkinson helped Stokes print his editions until the latter’s death in 1954. For many years Wilkinson was Professor of the Engraving School at the City and Guilds of London. Today, now well into his eighties, Wilkinson works alone in his studio in Kent producing his prints entirely single-handed; from origination, engraving, printing and colouring, right down to making his own printing inks. Wilkinson’s output has slowed with the advancing years, and it is doubtful if many of his editions will ever be fully printed. His etchings, engravings and dry points are a fine reflection of the artists deep understanding of the countryside, rural pursuits and well bred dogs. (6) £150-200

319* Searle (Ronald, 1920- ). “Blood Sports at St. Trinian’s”, 1954, pen & ink drawing, of two St. Trinian’s girls brandishing hockey sticks, with the school in the background, signed in ink to lower lefthand corner, and dated beneath in pencil, 240 x 215mm (9.5 x 8.5.ins), mounted, framed and glazed, together with a copy of The St. Trinian’s Story, 1st ed., 1959, orig. cloth in torn and price-clipped d.j., in which a version of this work appears (p.39) Influential English artist and cartoonist Ronald Searle is best known as the creator of St Trinian’s School, the subject of several books and seven fulllength films. He was born in Cambridge, started drawing at the age of five, and left school at the age of fourteen, whereupon he took night classes at the Cambridge School of Art. At the age of fifteen he became the resident cartoonist on the Cambridge Daily News, and at sixteen he also began contributing to the student magazine, The Granta. In September 1938, at the age of eighteen, he was granted a year’s scholarship by the local Education Committee which allowed him to study full-time at the School of Art, although he continued to work for the CDN, as it was known locally. In 1939 Searle was called up into the army, and after a few weeks training was stationed in Norfolk, and then Kirkcudbright in Scotland. It was here that he made a number of visits to the home of the Johnston family, and where he one day made a drawing to please the two schoolgirl daughters. Cécilé and Pat attended a school called St. Trinnean’s in Edinburgh, where the emphasis was on self- rather than school-imposed discipline. Searle’s drawing depicted a number of schoolgirls gathered round a noticeboard, bare flesh showing between the tops of their stockings and their gym slips. The family was delighted with Searle’s drawing, and he was encouraged to include it with a small number of cartoons he was submitting to a monthly magazine called Lilliput. Lilliput accepted the cartoon, and it was published in October 1941. Searle, however, had been posted abroad before publication, arriving in Singapore in January 1942. It wasn’t until he returned to England in 1945, after a harrowing period as a prisoner of war, that Searle’s second and third St. Trinian’s cartoons were published - one of which had been drawn in Changi Gaol - to widespread acclaim. In the five years which separated the first and second drawings, the content had undergone a fundamental change, and taken on the now-familiar flavour of violence; it was, perhaps, inevitable that the cruelty of war which Searle had experienced should permeate his work.

In 1955, the eminent London gallery Frost & Reed purchased a selection of his works, marking the beginning of a long and fruitful relationship between the gallery and artist. Following his marriage to Claudine Godat, 36 years his junior in 1956 the artist and his young wife made many visits to Brittany, and particularly the Golfe du Morbihan, where Dyf found inspiration for his landscape paintings.

Conditions of Sale and Business 1. The Seller warrants to the Auctioneer and the buyer that he is the true owner or is properly authorised to sell the property by the true owner and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims.
7. Any representation or statement by the Auctioneer in any catalogue, brochure or advertisement of forthcoming sales as to authorship, attribution, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price is a statement of opinion only. Every person interested should exercise and rely on his own judgement as to such matters and neither the Auctioneer nor his servants or agents are responsible for the correctness of such opinions. No warranty whatsoever is given by the Auctioneer or the seller in respect of any lot and any express or implied warranties are hereby excluded.
2. (a) The highest bidder to be the buyer. If during the auction the Auctioneer considers that a dispute has arisen he has absolute authority to settle it or re-offer the lot. The Auctioneer may at his sole discretion determine the advance of bidding or refuse a bid, divide any lot, combine any two or more lots or withdraw any lot without prior notice. (b) Where goods are bought at auction by a buyer who has entered into an agreement with another or others that the other or others (or some of them) shall abstain from bidding for the goods and the buyer or other party or one of the other parties is a dealer (as defined in the Auction Biddings Agreement Act 1927) the buyer warrants that the goods are bought bona fide on joint account.
8. (a) Notwithstanding any other terms of these conditions, if within fourteen days of the sale the Auctioneer has received from the buyer of any lot notice in writing that in his view the lot is a deliberate forgery and within fourteen days after such notification the buyer returns the same to the Auctioneer in the same condition as at the time of the sale and satisfies the Auctioneer that considered in the light of the entry in the catalogue the lot is a deliberate forgery then the sale of the lot will be rescinded and the purchase price of the same refunded. "A deliberate forgery" means a lot made with intention to deceive. (b) A buyer's claim under this condition shall be limited to any amount paid to the Auctioneer for the lot and for the purpose of this condition the buyer shall be the person to whom the original invoice was made out by the Auctioneer.
3. The buyer shall pay the price at which a lot is knocked down by the Auctioneer to the buyer (“the hammer price”) together with a premium of 17.5% of the hammer price. Where the lot is marked by an asterisk the premium will be subject to VAT at 17.5% which under the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme will form part of the buyer’s premium on our invoice and will not be separately identified (the premium added to the hammer price will hereafter collectively be referred to as “the total sum due”). By making any bid the buyer acknowledges that his attention has been drawn to the fact that on the sale of any lot the Auctioneer will receive from the seller commission at its usual rates in addition to the said premium of 17.5% and assents to the Auctioneer receiving the said commission.
9. Lots may be removed during the sale after full settlement in accordance with 4(d) hereof. 10. All goods delivered to the Auctioneer's premises will be deemed to be delivered for sale by auction unless otherwise stated in writing and will be catalogued and sold at the Auctioneer's discretion and accepted by the Auctioneer subject to all these conditions. In the case of miscellaneous books, the Auctioneer reserves the right to extract and dispose of books that, in the opinion of the Auctioneer at his absolute discretion, have no saleable value and, therefore, might detract from the saleability of the rest of the lot and the Auctioneer shall incur no liability to the seller, in respect of the books disposed of. By delivering the goods to the Auctioneer for inclusion in his auction sales each seller acknowledges that he/she accepts and agrees to all the conditions.
4. (a) The buyer shall forthwith upon the purchase give in his name and permanent address and pay to the Auctioneer immediately after the conclusion of the auction the total sum due. (b) The buyer may be required to pay down during the course of the sale the whole or any part of the total sum due, and if he fails to do so after such request the lot or lots may at the Auctioneer's absolute discretion be put up again and resold immediately. (c) The buyer shall at his own expense take away any lot or lots purchased no later than five working days after the auction day. (d) The Auctioneer may at his own discretion agree credit terms with a buyer and extend the time limits for collection in special cases but otherwise payment shall be deemed to have been made only after the Auctioneer has received cash or a sterling banker’s draft or the buyer's cheque has been cleared.
11. (a) Unless otherwise instructed in writing all goods on the Auctioneer's premises and in their custody will be held insured against the risks of fire, burglary, water damage and accidental breakage or damage for which insurance the Auctioneer will charge a premium of £1.50 per £100. The value of the goods so covered will be the hammer price, or in the case of unsold lots the best bid, or in the case of loss or damage prior to the sale that which the specialised staff of the Auctioneer shall in their absolute discretion estimate to be the auction value of such goods. (b) The Auctioneer shall not be responsible for damage to or the loss, theft, or destruction of any goods not so insured because of the owner’s written instructions.
5. (a) If the buyer fails to pay for or take away any lot or lots pursuant to clause 4 or breaches any other condition of that clause the Auctioneer as agent for the seller shall be entitled after consultation with the seller to exercise one or other of the following rights: (i) Rescind the sale of that or any other lots sold to the buyer who defaults and re-sell the lot or lots whereupon the defaulting buyer shall pay to the Auctioneer any shortfall between the proceeds of that sale after deduction of costs of re-sale and the total sum due. Any surplus shall belong to the seller. (ii) Proceed for damages for breach of contract. (b) Without prejudice to the Auctioneer's rights hereunder if any lots or lots are not collected within five days or such longer period as the Auctioneer may have agreed otherwise, the Auctioneer may charge the buyer a storage charge of £1.00 + VAT at the current rate per lot per day. (c) Ownership of the lot purchased shall not pass to the buyer until he has paid to the Auctioneer the total sum due.
12. The Auctioneer shall remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller thirty days after the day of the auction provided that the Auctioneer has received the total sum due from the buyer. In all other cases the Auctioneer will remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller within seven days of the receipt by the Auctioneer of the total sum due. The Auctioneer will not be deemed to have received the total sum due until after any cheque delivered by the buyer has been cleared.

A seller may not bid on any lot on which a reserve has been placed. (b) Where any lot fails to sell, the Auctioneer shall notify the seller accordingly. The seller shall make arrangements either to re-offer the lot for sale or to collect the lot and may be asked to pay a commission not exceeding 50% of the selling commission and any special expenses incurred in cataloguing the lot. (c) If such arrangements are not made within seven days of the notification the Auctioneer is empowered to sell the lot by auction or by private treaty at not less than the reserve price and to receive from the seller the normal selling commission and special expenses.
