A mid 18th century christening gown, hand-stitched silk satin infant’s gown, front-opening bodice, 8 rows of fine pleating to front and back, elbow-length sleeves with double row of fringing, matching fringe to front of neckline, in two rows down front, and around bottom hem, lined with ivory silk, chest 44cm (17ins), waist 52cm (20.5ins), sleeves 17cm (6.5ins), length 80cm (31.5ins) Rare early infant’s gown, in unusually good condition and therefore perhaps never used, intended to be worn by a baby for a formal occasion, such as a christening. The early 18th century saw ornate bearing cloths and christening blankets give way to long gowns, with the move away from both full immersion and the custom of swaddling. The earliest christening gowns such as these were sumptuous affairs of rich silk satin, embellished with embroidery or fringing, quite different from the diaphanous white muslin gowns which followed in the Regency period. They were not without an element of practicality, however, as evidenced by the front opening and the adjustable straps which link the sleeves to the bodice, giving extra room if required.

Rare early Quaker sampler. York School, or York Friends’ Girls’ School, to give it its full name, opened in 1785. Its founders were prominent Quakers, Esther and William Tuke, who wished to provide an education for the daughters of fellow Quakers. Fees were 14 guineas a year for ‘instruction, board and washing’. The school continues today as an all-girls educational establishment, now known as The Mount School. The verse reads: ‘Would’st thou in safety plough th’ inconstant tide,/The helm let prudence ever watchful guide./She shuns the deep, where mountain-billows roar./And shuns alike the shallows and the shore.’ It is the first part of a 12-line poem published in Miscellanies, Moral and Instructive, in Prose and Verse; collected from various authors, for the use of schools, and improvement of young persons of both sexes, compiled by American Quaker poet Milcah Martha Moore (1740-1829). It was first published in Philadelphia in 1787, and re-printed in London the same year. Susette Judith Clement was born in Panfield, Essex, in 1828, and died in Brentwood in 1891. She married David Rist and they produced a son named William. The two verses are taken from Thomas Moore’s hymn ‘There’s nothing bright, above, below,/From flowers that bloom to stars that glow ...’.

442* O’Neil (Henry Nelson, 1817-1880). Study for Eastward Ho!, circa 1857, oil study on wood panel, for part of the larger finished work exhibited by the artist at the Royal Academy in 1858, 52 x 41.5cm (20.5 x 16.3ins), attractive moulded gilt frame Provenance: Private Collection, Devon. A preliminary oil sketch for a section of one of O’Neil’s most famous works, Eastward Ho!, first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1858. The full-scale painting depicts soldiers on board a ship at Gravesend, destined for service in India during the Indian Mutiny, saying their farewells to loved ones. The work changed the artist’s career, and became one of the most popular images in Victorian art. Following its first public appearance at the Royal Academy in 1858, a tour of Britain was organised for the picture, during which time an estimated 540,000 people came to see it. O’Neil made a companion painting, entitled Home Again, depicting the return of the same troops, which was exhibited at the Royal Academy in the following year. Mixed method mezzotint engravings of both works by William Turner Davey were published in 1860 and 1861 respectively, thereby contributing further to their popularity. The present work shows the artist working on details of the composition, which were significantly altered in the finished version. For example, the direction of the composition is in reverse, and the female figure in the foreground is shown with her face covered by a handkerchief to hide her anguish, whereas in the final version she is given assistance down the gangplank by an old salt. The motif of the woman with her face buried in a handkerchief is transferred to another figure further up the gangplank. (1) £2,000 - £3,000

Provenance: Collection of Jack Webb (1923-2019), London. Given the handwritten captions to these drawings, they must have been executed around 1828 or 1829, as Edward Cross’s Menagerie, the first commercial zoological collection in England, which had been founded in 1773, closed in 1829. The Zoological Society of London founded the oldest zoological gardens in continual use in Regent’s Park in 1828. These unsigned drawings are therefore likely to have been made around the time of the opening of the Zoological Society’s exhibit. (4) £300 - £400

Eminent antiquary and draughtsman, Thomas Fisher exhibited a number of topographical drawings at the Royal Academy between 1804 and 1807, but his most important contribution to this field was the recording of the history of Bedfordshire, culminating in two publications: Collections Historical, Genealogical and Topographical for Bedfordshire and Monumental Remains and Antiquities in the County of Bedfordshire, published in 1812-16 and 1828 respectively. His interest in Bedfordshire stemmed partly from the fact that its history had been little recorded, and his watercolours show a love of detail arising from careful observation of the landscape and villages of the area. Sir Gregory Osborne Page-Turner was from an eminent land-owning family, and his father was the Member of Parliament for Thirsk for 21 years, but by 1823 he had apparently been incarcerated in a debtors’ prison, having twice been declared a lunatic, once in 1814 and again in 1823. He died during an epileptic fit and his will was the subject of a court case to determine whether or not he was of sound mind when it was drawn up. (1) £200 - £300

Provenance: from the collection of Arther W. Ackermann (1830-1914), grandson of Rudolph Ackermann. After the aquatint by Augustus Charles Pugin and Thomas Rowlandson which appeared in The Microcosm of London, published by Rudolph Ackermann in three volumes between 1808 and 1810. The Albion flour mill, designed in the neo-classical style by James Wyatt, opened at the foot of Blackfriars Bridge in London in 1786, a symbol of Britain’s rapid industrial progress during the late 18th century. The revolutionary steam engines contained therein were widely resented by millers who still relied on wind or water power, and when, on 2nd March 1791, the mill was entirely destroyed by fire, there were rumours of foul-play. It is thought that poor maintence was the real culprit, but the fire was a sensational event, and many people crowded to the site in the following weeks. The catastrophe became a symbol of the evil of industrial progress and is thought to have inspired William Blake (who lived close-by) to portray his vision of “dark Satanic Mills”, now best-known as part of the hymn ‘Jerusalem’.

George Nicholson was from a family of artists, and following his father’s premature death in 1814, hastened by anxieties over debt, the whole family engaged in artistic work. Mr. Nicholson, who had been a school master in Manchester and a typographer in Liverpool, was a self-taught wood engraver, and had given both George and his brother, Samuel, instruction in drawing and engraving. Their mother executed skilful copies of well-known pictures hand-embroidered on silk, and their sister, Isabella, exhibited botanical watercolours and landscapes at the Liverpool Academy of Art between 1829 and 1845. George himself also exhibited there some 50 drawings between 1827 and 1838, mostly landscapes in watercolour or pencil. In 1821 he was awarded the silver Isis medal of the Society of Arts for a drawing of Stirling Castle. In 1821 and 1824 respectively he published Twenty-Six Lithographic Drawings in the Vicinity of Liverpool and Plas Newydd and Valle Crucis Abbey, as well as a volume entitled Eight Select Views, in the County of Carnaervon, published around 1827 under the patronage of the renowned Ladies of Llangollen, Eleanor Butler and Sarah Ponsonby.

The firm under Powell became an innovative world leader in the field of decorative glass, and business was aided by the building of hundreds of new churches during the Victorian era.

Pleasure - depicted as a sensuous and nubile young girl - is crowned with a wreath of poppies and has the wings of a Death’s-Head Hawkmoth. Her escorts are two all-knowing putti who strew flowers and blow bubbles to lure on the massed throng behind them. Pleasure is pursued by a cavalcade of individuals, in the vanguard are an ‘ecclesiastical dignitary’, a ‘son of toil’, a monarch, a ‘youth of luxury’ and a ‘man of genius’. They seem oblivious to the young girl and the unmarried mother that they trample underfoot. They are followed by a ‘Bacchanal’ and three ‘unthinking daughters of vanity’. behind them is a ‘votary of military glory and conquest’ who is spattered with blood and treads humanity under his feet, supported by a soldier and a trumpeter dragging a captive behind them. Above the throng is a damsel borne by a fool and a gallant and after them a miser, a spooning couple and a ‘tyrant king’, blind and brandishing a flaming torch. Lastly, another figure who appears to be turning back. They rush towards a yawning pit whilst above them the Angel of Judgement fills the sky wielding a sword and carrying a open book.

The owner’s grandmother worked at the Royal Academy of Music and subsequently the Admiralty; her father, Sven Didericksen, was head chef at The Rembrandt Hotel in Knightsbridge, London, and her uncle was the proprietor of an antiquarian book and print shop in London. The family moved in artistic circles, and Australian painter George Lambert, who lived for a time in London, is known to have been a friend. It has been suggested that the subject is the artist Thea Proctor (1879-1966), an Australian painter, known as a prominent arbiter of taste, who was also a printmaker, designer and teacher. Although Proctor didn’t travel to London until 1903, she and Lambert met at art school in Sydney, and this portrait does appear to bear a strong resemblance to her. Beautiful and elegant, she was tutored privately by Lambert, sat regularly for him and was a frequent visitor to his London home. On her part she found Lambert intellectually stimulating and was apparently devoted to him. Their exact relationship is unknown but he became her mentor and their friendship was lifelong.

(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. 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. 6. (a) The seller shall be entitled to place a reserve on any lot and the Auctioneer shall have the right to bid on behalf of the seller for any lot on which a reserve has been placed. 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.

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. 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. 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 theAuctioneer for inclusion in his auction sales each seller acknowledges that he/she accepts and agrees to all the conditions. 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. The value of the goods so covered will be the hammer price, or in the case of unsold lots the lower estimate, 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. 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. In the event of the Auctioneer exercising his right to rescind the sale his obligation to the seller hereunder lapses. 13. In the case of the seller withdrawing instructions to the Auctioneer to sell any lot or lots, the Auctioneer may charge a fee of 12.5% of the Auctioneer's middle estimate of the auction price of the lot withdrawn together with Value Added Tax thereon and any expenses incurred in respect of the lot or lots. 14. The Auctioneer’s current standard notices and information (i.e. Collation and Amendments) will apply to any contract with the Auctioneer as if incorporated herein. 15. These conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English Law.
