To this end he was placed with John Varley in 1804, and whilst still a pupil of Varley, he began to exhibit at the Royal Academy in 1807. Hunt’s earliest important private patrons were the Duke of Devonshire and the Earl of Sussex, who respectively commissioned drawings of the staterooms at Chatsworth and Cassiobury. By 1815, Hunt had established himself as an independent architectural and landscape painter, later turning to genre scenes and still-life compositions, which he depicted with a new-found meticulousness. In 1830 he exhibited his first still-life, containing details of nature against a mossy bank, and became so well-known for the type that he was soon dubbed ‘Bird’s Nest Hunt’. His approach to picturemaking proved very popular, and between 1854 and 1861 he gave lessons to John Ruskin. William Rossetti wrote of Hunt: ‘It is stated that one of his finished still-life studies would occupy him, on an average, from a fortnight to eighteen days. He was an indefatigable worker; a man of quaint and lovable naivete of character, corresponding to his queer knock-kneed yet vivid and acute exterior, half-way towards dwarfishness.’ (The Fine Arts Quarterly Review, 1864).

Her treatise on women’s education, ‘Thoughts on Self-Culture Addressed to Women’, was written with her sister, Emily, and published in 1850, funded by Maria’s husband. In it the sisters voiced their disapproval of the frivolous attitude to marriage and the established view that women should be educated only enough to attract a husband. They also laid out a basis for education for girls which included subjects such as arithmetic, geometry, history, science and politics, usually neglected in customary female education of the time. They also argued that female education should continue into later life. Maria and Emily were also suffragettes and in 1870 Maria published a booklet entitled ‘Is the Exercise of the Suffrage Unfeminine?’. She argued that if girls received a proper education this would prepare them for their increased civil responsibilities. In 1878 Maria helped found a teacher training college with The Teachers’ Training and Registration Society. In 1885 the college was renamed The Maria Grey Training College for Women (now part of Brunel University). (1) £200-300

This with the Executrice of W. Falle [?]’ In 1681 Falle was presented to Trinity Parish in Jersey by the governor, Sir John Lanier. ‘As a clergyman Falle was a member of the states of Jersey, where he played an active role. A zealous English patriot and francophobe, he was an obvious choice for the delegation sent by the states to beg assistance of William III against French raiders in 1692. He may have drafted the address as well. Falle and Nicholas Durrell, the advocate-general of Jersey, introduced by [Lord] Jermyn, waited on William at Kensington on 6 February 1693 and also called upon government officials to press their case, succeeding in gaining more military supplies for Jersey. Falle was appointed chaplain-in-ordinary to the King in 1694, and in that year he preached a sermon on 20 December on Queen Mary’s death. He eventually settled in England’ (DNB). His most significant published work was ‘An Account of the Isle of Jersey’ which first appeared in 1694 and, greatly expanded, in 1734. Falle never married and died at Shenley in Hertfordshire on 7 May 1742. His music manuscripts and books were bequeathed to the library of the dean and chapter of Durham. His remaining books were presented to the people of Jersey in 1736 together with money to build a library.

The Coptic period of Egypt is well-known for the colourful and imaginative art expressed in the fabric of the day, in which mythical figures and allegorical references to religious icons are beautifully expressed. Coptic textiles were most commonly used for clothing during Egypt’s Christian period, but had many other uses too, including bed sheets and covers, towels, napkins, tablecloths and carrying sacks, while in churches and other public buildings, these decorative fabrics were used for curtains and hangings. The amazing survival of such textiles are partly because of the burial practices of the Copts and partly because of the climate of Egypt. By the fourth century mummification was no longer practiced, and the dead were buried in their clothes, or wrapped in shrouds, probably re-using domestic and religious furnishings, and the dry hot sands of Upper Egypt aided conservation of the textiles.

Sidney Waring Saxton was an assistant paymaster on board H.M.S. Formidable when she was torpedoed of Portland on 31st December 1915. A huge storm hampered and rescue attempts and Saxton was one of only 200 men to survive from a crew of 747. When he recovered from his ordeal he was given civilian clothes, a train ticket to London and sent on leave. In the train carriage with him were two women, who seeing a man obviously of call-up age, not in unifrom and travelling in civilian clothes, gave him a white feather, which at the time was a sign of cowardice. History does not relate his response but as his nickname was ‘Swearing Saxton’ one can imagine that the two ladies were left in no doubt as to their mistake. Between the wars Saxton served on The Royal Yacht but eventually left the Navy and trained as a barrister and was called to the Bar in 1925. He married and served as a district commissioner in the Gold Coast in West Africa. He returned to the U.K. and settled in Bosham in West Sussex until his death in 1965. Saxton met and became friends with Bairnsfather in Grundisburgh in Essex where they were both regulars in the village pub. A scarce drawing of Bairnsfather’s famous soldier ‘Old Bill’ transformed into a sailor and drawn as a gift for Commander Sydney Waring Saxton. (1) £1000-1500

LUCY KEMP-WELCH (1869 – 1958)
Lot 403
Lot 404
Lucy Kemp-Welch (1869-1958) was a gifted artist who is best known for her animal subjects. She studied under Sir Hubert Herkomer at his art school in Bushey, Hertfordshire, and in 1895, at the age of 26, she exhibited her first painting, entitled Gypsy Horse Drovers, at the Royal Academy. Two years later her exhibition piece Colt Hunting in the New Forest was purchased for the nation by the Chantrey Bequest. In her search for animal models, Kemp-Welch often took horses and other animals 'on loan' and when this was not possible, she would travel around the country for suitable 'model subjects'. The New Forest became a particular favourite in this respect, but around 1907 she travelled to Exmoor, visiting the Doone Valley and Watersmeet, and took a studio at Simonsbath, where she painted many landscapes and sketched the wild Exmoor ponies. The following lots may have been left in her studio at Simonsbath, or given to locals. All these sketches on offer have been in the possession of a West Country family since the 1950s, during which time they were in storage. Lot 409 is inscribed in her hand with her initials, and dated May 16 1908. These works reflect the artist's lively and vivacious style, and her dexterity in the rapid handling of paint, and offer an unusual opportunity to acquire an original oil sketch by this artist. 403* Kemp-Welch (Lucy, 1869-1958).

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 20% 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. In the event of the Auctioneer exercising his right to rescind the sale his obligation to the seller hereunder lapses.
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.
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.
