The word ‘Alicorn’ has its roots in Latin, where it is used to describe the horn of a unicorn. Unicorn horns have been of great medicinal interest since their first mentionings in antiquity and were often featured in cabinets of curiosities into the Victorian era. They were commonly believed to have immense healing powers, as well as the power to purify water and cure most forms of poisoning and intoxication. What was in fact used would likely have been horns of the more common variety, from deers and stags, but also narwhals as these would have been deemed more visually appropriate and more convincing. These would have been ground and ingested in various ways, believed to cure most ailments, and would have been kept by European royalty in the belief that they would ward off disease. This lot can be viewed prior to the sale at a London SW location on a prearranged basis. In order to arrange a viewing, please contact Mark Wilkinson or Otto Billström at Sworders.

Most notably, Millie and Christine McCoy, phytophagous twins, were born into slavery in North Carolina in 1851. They were sold to a showman, J P Smith, at birth, but were soon kidnapped by a rival showman. The kidnapper fled to England, but was thwarted because England had already banned slavery. Smith travelled to England to collect the girls and brought with him their mother, from whom they had been separated. He and his wife provided the twins with an education and taught them to speak five languages, play music, and sing. For the rest of the century, the twins enjoyed a successful career as ‘The Two-Headed Nightingale’ and appeared with the Barnum Circus. In 1912, they died of tuberculosis, 17 hours apart.

Lot 118 THE WORLD FAMOUS FLEA CIRCUS, 20th century, ‘The Smallest Show On Earth’, a collection of flea circus props and memorabilia from Professor Len Tomlin’s Flea Circus at Belle Vue, comprising; 2 trapezes, 1 dueling pedestal, 2 bicycles, 1 windmill, 2 chariots, 1 lawnmower, all of brass construct, also including a magnifying glass, a spool of copper harness wire, boxes of assorted flea circus props, and a collection of photographs and newspaper cuttings (qty.) £1,500 - 2,000 Provenance: M useum of Childhood Ribchester, Manchester. Being immensely popular attractions at fairgrounds in both Germany and Britain from the middle of the 19th century, the flea circus at Belle Vue was one of the last of its kind. The origin of the flea circus, however, lies with watchmakers, as far back as the 16th century, who specialised in miniaturisation, and the harnessing of fleas to exercise the contraptions constructed. The Belle Vue circus was run by Professor Len Tomlin and his wife Evelyn, who would employ professional insect catchers in the cities to ensure they had a good supply of fleas, as the average lifespan of a flea is around ten days. They would also both roll up their sleeves and make sure the fleas could feed off them as they were trained and exhibited. However, with modern times came comforts such as increased hygiene facilities, central heating systems, and vacuum cleaners, and the common flea started becoming irradicated within the cities of Britain, eventually causing a shortage of performers.

In September 1939, ‘Keep Calm’ and two other letterpress posters had been put into production, ‘Freedom is in Peril…’ and ‘Your Courage…’ were displayed in public places, but the third - now recognised the world over with the unforgettable slogan - was not. It is now widely accepted that it was held back in anticipation of an invasion of Britain by the enemy or a severe air raid. The ‘Phoney War’, being the period September 1939 to May 1940, proved to be largely uneventful for the home front, and a change in attitude to the wording probably contributed to the poster never being used. Although many thousands in several sizes were originally printed, only a few examples have ever appeared for sale. This example is in the larger double crown format.

The Regiment subsequently served in the Mediterranean and, in 1805, Baxter was appointed Surgeon to the Royal Corsican Rangers, where he became acquainted with Hudson Lowe, later Governor of St Helena during Napoleon’s exile. Lowe arranged for Baxter, who had by that time served in the Peninsula and the American War, to accompany him to St Helena in 1816, where he hoped Baxter would become a medical attendant to Napoleon. Baxter remained on St Helena until 1819, and although he met Napoleon a few times, the Emperor would not accept him as a medical attendant and Baxter had to compile medical reports on Napoleon for the Governor on the basis of what he was told by Napoleon’s preferred surgeon, Barry O’ Meara (full details in Arnold Chaplin, ‘A St Helena Who’s Who’).

The 56-kilometre (35 mil) traverse took a year of fighting against the Russians. Sevastopol is one of the classic sieges of all time. The city of Sevastopol was the home of the Tsar’s Black Sea Fleet, which threatened the Mediterranean. The Russian field army withdrew before the allies could encircle it. The siege was the culminating struggle for the strategic Russian port in 1854-55 and was the final episode in the Crimean War. During the Victorian Era, these battles were repeatedly memorialised. The siege of Sevastopol was the subject of Crimean soldier Leo Tolstoy’s ‘Sebastopol Sketches’ and the subject of the first Russian feature film, ‘Defence of Sevastopol’. The Battle of Balaklava was made famous by Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s poem ‘The Charge of the Light Brigade’ and Robert Gibb’s painting ‘The Thin Red Line’. A panorama of the siege itself was painted by Franz Roubaud. The nurses who treated the allied wounded during these battles were much celebrated, most famously Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole.

Presented to the Ottoman Timothy Grikov in Moscow May 15th 1774’ The inscription indicates that the sword was awarded for services to Catherine during the Pugachev Rebellion. Provenance: t he sword belonged to Lord Alistair McAlpine and then passed into the collection of the Australian businessman Warren Anderson.

Pugachev’s Rebellion, also called the Peasants’ War 1773-75 or Cossack Rebellion of 1773-75, was the principal revolt in a series of popular rebellions that took place in the Russian Empire after Catherine II seized power in 1762. It began as an organised insurrection of Yaik Cossacks headed by Yemelyan Pugachev, a disaffected ex-lieutenant of the Imperial Russian Army, against a background of profound peasant unrest and war with the Ottoman Empire. After initial success, Pugachev assumed leadership of an alternative government in the name of the assassinated Tsar Peter III and proclaimed an end to serfdom. This organized leadership presented a challenge to the imperial administration of Catherine II. The events have generated many stories in legend and literature, most notably Pushkin’s historical novel ‘The Captain’s Daughter (1836). It was the largest peasant revolt in Russia’s history.

The crystal skulls of Meso- and South America emerged as revered artefacts in the mid-19th century, when they were often alleged to be of Pre-Columbian or even extraterrestrial origin. However, several studies carried out by the British Museum, among others, concluded these to have been impossible creations without the aid of rotary tools, tools which were not conceived until the mid-19th century.

Lot 168 CARVED OBSIDIAN SKULL, 20th century, Mexico, hand-carved into the shape of a human skull, 20cm diameter £750 - 1,000 Obsidian was commonly used among most of the pre-Columbian Mesoamerican civilizations, however, more so by the Aztecs, to whom it was embodied by Tezcatlipoca - the god of the night and the patron of kings. Obsidian was used across all walks of life, and more so death, in Aztec society. Jagged shards would adorn the Machuahitl, large wooden clubs carried by the jaguar warriors of Tenochtitlan, but would also be carried by priests in ritual sacrifices. The accounts on Tenochtitlan also describe enormous carvings of obsidian, depicting the Aztec pantheon, all of which have been lost during the fall of the city to the Spanish conquistadors in 1521.

The Massacre of the Innocents contradicts this by being a highly active topic, in which Roman soldiers are seen slaughtering the newborns of Bethlehem. This early rendition, however, would come to inspire several other important renditions of the subject, such as the ones of Tintoretto and Rubens.

485-493 LONDON TRANSPORT

The London Transport roundel has become one of the most recognised and imitated logos in the world and its original design is over 100 years old, first appearing on Underground station platforms in 1908. The bar and circle, as it became known, comprised a solid red enamel disc and horizontal blue bar. These early roundels, framed with timber mouldings, were introduced as station nameboards. The new device gave prominence to the name of the station and helped passengers distinguish it from surrounding commercial advertising. In 1915, the Underground’s publicity manager, Frank Pick, commissioned the calligrapher Edward Johnston to design a company typeface. By 1917, the proportions of the roundel had been reworked to suit the new lettering and incorporate the Underground logotype. The solid red disc became a circle, and the new symbol was registered as a trademark. By 1919, Johnston’s standardised roundel symbol was being used on publicity, and it began to appear on station exteriors and platform nameboards from the early 1920s. Around this time, Johnston introduced exact guidelines for the reproduction of the roundel. The proportions of the ‘bullseye’, as he called it, were re-designed to incorporate the standardised company typeface.

Robo worked at Billingsgate most of his life, retiring when the old site closed. He later moved to Cromer-on-Sea where his hat hung for a number of years and, by repute, a bird nested in it. The hat was stuffed with paper as it was handed down to Alfred from his father, as his head was smaller than his father’s. This strange type of hat is thought to get its name from the ‘bobbin’ or payment, which the porters received from the buyers when delivering the fish to the distribution vehicles.

GLOSSARY OF PICTURE CATALOGUING TERMS A work catalogued with the forename(s) and surname of a recognised destination of an artist is or is probably a work by the artist, eg. David Cox. Nevertheless, intending buyers are reminded that while a full designation is our highest category or authenticity, no unqualified statement as to the authorship is made or intended. A full cataloguing does not necessarily imply a full warranty. Attributed to David Cox in our opinion a work of the period of the artist which may be in whole or in part the work of the artist.

Bears/with signature, inscription, date in our opinion the signature/inscription/date are not by the hand of the named artist.

Circle of David Cox in our opinion a work from the period of the artist and showing his influence.

The addition of a question mark (?) after any of the above cataloguing terms indicates an element of doubt. A work catalogued as ‘School’ accompanied by the name of a place or country and a date means that in our opinion the work was executed at that time and in the location, eg. South Netherlands School, circa 1750.

Follower of David Cox in our opinion a work executed in the style of David Cox After David Cox in our opinion a copy of any date after a work by the artist

All references to signatures, inscriptions and dates refer to the present state of the work, ie. as at the time of inspection for the purpose of cataloguing.

Signed/inscribed/dated in our opinion the work has been signed/inscribed/dated by the artist

Condition reports are not included in the descriptions.

ARTIST’S RESALE RIGHT (ARR) What is Artist’s Resale Right? Following a European Directive in 2006, the Artist’s Resale Right entitles creators of original works of art to a royalty each time their work is resold, with the involvement of an auction house, for 1,000 Euros or more. This right covers sales of work by living artists and also the beneficiaries and heirs of artists deceased within the last 70 years of the sale. How are resale royalties calculated? The artist’s royalty depends on the hammer price (sale price without any VAT or Buyer’s Premium). The higher the sale price of the artwork, the lower the overall royalty rate. The royalty is worked out according to a sliding scale from 4% to 0.25%.

What nationality must an artist be to qualify? The Artist’s Resale Right applies to the sale of artworks in the European Economic Area (EEA). The following countries are in the EEA: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom. Artists who are nationals of these countries are therefore generally eligible to receive resale royalties. The nationality criteria only applies to the artist and not to the beneficiaries or heirs.

From 0 to €50,000

Are all sales of artwork covered? The Artist’s Resale Right does not apply to all sales of artworks. A royalty is only due if the following conditions are met:

From €50,000.01 to €200,000

•

Hammer Price

Royalty

From €200,000.01 to €350,000

From €350,000.01 to €500,000

0.5%

Exceeding €500,000

• •

0.25% •

What is the qualifying threshold? An artwork must sell for more than €1,000 to qualify for a royalty. The law defines the price threshold in Euros and, because the exchange rate between the two currencies changes daily, the equivalent in Pounds Sterling must be worked out according to the exchange rate on the date the artwork was sold.

the artwork is a copyright protected work of graphic or plastic art; it is sold for more than €1000; it is sold in the secondary market with the involvement of an art market professional (e.g. auction house); and it is sold in the UK or another country in the European Economic Area (EEA).

This royalty, where applicable, will be charged to the purchaser. It is exempt of VAT.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS 1. INFORMATION FOR BUYERS Introduction The following notes are intended to assist Bidders and Buyers, particularly those that are inexperienced or new to our salerooms. All of our auctions are governed by our Terms and Conditions and any notices that are displayed in our salerooms or announced by the Auctioneer at the auction. Our Terms and Conditions are available for inspection at our salerooms and the Terms of Sale are printed in the back of our auction catalogues. Our staff will be happy to help you if there is anything in our Terms and Conditions that you do not fully understand. Please make sure that you read our Terms of Sale carefully before bidding in the auction. If your bid is successful, you will be obliged to comply with our Terms of Sale. Methods of payment Lots must be paid for before they are collected or shipped. For those attending the auction we ask that Lots are paid for on the day of the sale. Methods by which we accept payment are detailed on our Website, including online payment upon receipt of your invoice, and these should be paid by 5pm on the Friday following the sale. We accept cash to an upper limit of 10,000 euros equivalent. We accept credit card payments to an upper limit of £5,000. Usually any cheques will need to be cleared before you can take the Goods away. Collection and storage All Lots should be paid for and collected by 5pm on the Friday following the sale. Commission Bidders should check the success of their bids and arrange payment, and collection or shipping within this time. For our specialist auctions please refer to the collection and storage requirements detailed in the catalogue and on our Website, which specifies the applicable fees. For our Homes and Interiors auctions, items not removed by 5pm on Friday may be removed at the purchaser’s expense and storage charges of £10 (plus VAT) for administration and £2 (plus VAT) per lot per day. Agency As Auctioneers we usually act on behalf of the Seller whose identity, for reasons of confidentiality, is not normally disclosed. If you buy at auction your contract for the Goods is with the Seller, not with us as Auctioneer. Estimates Estimates are designed to help you gauge what sort of sum might be involved for the purchase of a particular Lot. Estimates may change and should not be thought of as the sale Price. The lower estimate may represent the Reserve Price (the minimum Price for which a Lot may be sold) and will not be below the Reserve Price. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT (where chargeable). Estimates are prepared some time before the auction and may be altered by a saleroom notice or announcement by the Auctioneer before the auction of the Lot. They are not definitive. Buyer’s Premium The Terms of Sale oblige you to pay a Buyer’s Premium at 25% on the Hammer Price of each Lot purchased, except for our Fine Wine and Port auctions when it is 15%. In addition, VAT is charged on these Premiums (see below). VAT Items in our catalogue may be marked with a dagger † or double dagger ‡, which indicates that VAT is payable by the Buyer on the Hammer Price and the Buyer’s Premium at either the standard rate (currently 20%) or a reduced rate (currently 5%), depending upon the legal requirements relating to that Lot. Lots which do not have either of the above symbols have no VAT payable on the Hammer Price. This is because such Lots are sold using the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme. The VAT included within the Premium is not recoverable as input tax. Shipping Costs are liable for VAT and are payable by the Buyer. Inspection of Goods by the Buyer As we act on behalf of the Seller, we are dependent on information provided by the Seller about their Goods. We may inspect Lots and will act reasonably in taking a general view about them. However, we are normally unable to carry out detailed examinations of Lots to check their condition in the way a Buyer would do. You will have ample opportunity to inspect the Goods. You must inspect and investigate Lots that you might wish to bid for. Please note carefully the exclusion of liability for the condition of Lots set out in the Terms of Sale at clause 12.4. Condition reports We may be able to assist Buyers unable to view by emailing a condition report, but these are based solely on our own opinion and are for guidance only and no responsibility is accepted for their accuracy. Intending Buyers are strongly encouraged to view. Condition reports cannot be prepared on the day of the sale. Shipping of Goods We offer a delivery service for Lots purchased. Estimates for Shipping Costs for smaller items can be calculated pre-sale on our website under each Lot and are based on value, size and your chosen UK destination. For items purchased the actual cost can be added to your account and paid online after the sale. If you purchase multiple Lots from the same auction, we will combine packaging/deliveries to reduce the Shipping Costs. For lots for which Shipping Costs cannot be automatically calculated, such as furniture, you can obtain a bespoke Shipping Cost from our website to any destination in the world either in advance of the sale or after you have purchased. Estimates of Shipping Costs on our website are based on the low estimate, whilst the actual cost is based on Hammer Price.

154

Electrical goods These are sold as ‘antiques’ only. If you buy electrical Goods for use you must ask a qualified electrician to check them for compliance with safety regulations before you use them. Export of Goods If you intend to export Goods you must find out: a. whether an export licence is needed; and b. if there is a prohibition on importing Goods of that character e.g. because the Goods contain prohibited materials such as ivory. Bidding Bidders will be required to register with us before the auction starts. We Reserve the right to impose a deadline prior to the auction by which you must register or by which we must receive a Commission bid. If you wish to bid on high value Lots this deadline may be several days before the auction in order to allow us sufficient time to carry out the necessary checks. Lots will be invoiced to the name and address on the registration form. You will need to provide us with proof of your identity in a form acceptable to us and such other information as we may require. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for telephone or online bidding. Please note that we may refuse to register you if you do not provide us with all the information and documentation that we ask for or at our discretion. Commission bidding You may leave Commission bids with us indicating the maximum amount to be bid against a Lot (excluding the Buyers’ Premium and/or any applicable VAT). We will execute Commission bids as cheaply as possible having regard to the Reserve (if any) and competing bids. If two Buyers submit identical Commission bids we may prefer the first bid received (where this can be reasonably ascertained). We recommend leaving Commission bids online via our Website, though please contact us about leaving bids by telephone or fax/email. All absentee bids should be received at least 30 minutes before the auction commences; we cannot guarantee to execute Commission bids received after this time. Telephone bidding If you are unable to come to the auction it may be possible to bid on the telephone for higher value Lots. Please note that this service is for Lots with an estimate of £500 or more. The number of lines is limited so we would urge serious telephone bidding only and ask that you be prepared to bid over the top estimate. It is advisable to leave a maximum covering bid in case we are not able to contact you by telephone. All lines must be booked and confirmed in writing before the day of the auction and preferably some time in advance. Telephone bidding involves many variables and whilst we take every care to ensure the smooth operation of this service, we cannot be held liable if your bids are missed for any reason. Online bidding Any Lots purchased via a live online bidding service will be subject to an additional Commission charge on the Hammer Price payable by the Bidder, in accordance with rates specified by the online service. From 1 January 2020, these charges will be charged at 0% while bidding via Sworders Website. If bidding through the-saleroom.com this will be charged at 4.95% plus VAT. These charges will be payable to us on top of the Hammer Price and our Buyer’s Commission.

IMPORTANT NOTICES Removal of Lots All Lots are to be removed from the premises by 5.00pm at the latest on the Friday following each sale. Sworders retain the right to remove Lots remaining after this time into safe storage, for which a charge will be made. Electrical Goods All electrical Goods offered in this sale have either been tested and certified safe or unsafe by an appropriately qualified electrician. All electrical Goods certified safe must be re-Commissioned by an appropriately qualified electrician and we recommend those certified safe are similarly re-Commissioned. Post 1950 Upholstered Furniture All items of furniture included in this sale are offered for sale as works of art. The items may not comply with the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) Safety Regulations 1988 and for this reason, they should not be used in a private dwelling. Furniture made of Brazilian Rosewood (Dalbergia Negra) To comply with CITES Regulations on Post-1947 furniture made of Brazilian Rosewood, all post-war rosewood furniture items have Article 10 certificates. If you are purchasing rosewood furniture for commercial purposes and not solely for your own use, CITES regulations require you to obtain your own certificate. You would need to contact the Animal Health and Veterinary Laboratories Agency (‘AHVLA’) and, as part of the process of obtaining your document, it is a requirement that you have seen sight of the Sworders’ certificate or are aware of its reference number. It is therefore the responsibility of commercial Buyers to ensure that they obtain a copy of the appropriate certificate, or the certificate reference number, after purchase from Sworders Fine Art Auctioneers. Items are marked with this sign §.

Warranties 11.1 The Seller warrants to us and to you that: 11.1.1 the Seller is the true owner of the Lot for sale or is authorised by the true owner to offer and sell the Lot at auction; 11.1.2 the Seller is able to transfer good and marketable title to the Lot to you free from any third party rights or claims; and 11.1.3 as far as the Seller is aware, the main characteristics of the Lot set out in the auction catalogue (as amended by any notice displayed in the saleroom or announced by the Auctioneer at the auction) are correct. 11.2 If, after you have placed a successful bid and paid for a Lot, any of the warranties above are found not to be true, please notify us in writing. Neither we nor the Seller will be liable to pay you any sums over and above the total amount due and we will not be responsible for any inaccuracies in the information provided by the Seller except as set out below. 11.3 Please note that many of the Lots that you may bid on at our auction are second-hand. 11.4 If a Lot is not second-hand and you purchase the Lot as a Consumer from a Seller that is a Trader, a number of additional terms may be implied by law in addition to the Seller’s warranties set out at Clause 11.1 (in particular under the Consumer Rights Act 2015). These Terms of Sale do not seek to exclude your rights under law as they relate to the sale of these Lots. 11.5 Save as expressly set out above, all other warranties, conditions or other terms which might have effect between the Seller and you, or us and you, or be implied or incorporated by statue, common law or otherwise are excluded. 12.

12.2 We will give you a number of opportunities to view and inspect the Lots before the auction.

We undertake that any such opinion will be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. 12.4 Please note that Lots (in particular second-hand Lots) are unlikely to be in perfect condition. Lots are sold ‘as is’ (i.e. as you see them at the time of the auction). Neither we nor the Seller accept any liability for the condition of second-hand Lots or for any condition issues affecting a Lot if such issues are included in the description of a Lot in the auction catalogue (or in any saleroom notice) and/ or which the inspection of a Lot by the Buyer ought to have revealed. 13.

We will not be responsible for repaying any additional money you may have made from selling the Lot. 13.4 Your right to return a Lot that is a Deliberate Forgery does not affect your legal rights and is in addition to any other right or remedy provided by law or by these Terms of Sale. 14. Our liability to you 14.1 We will not be liable for any loss of opportunity or disappointment suffered as a result of participating in our auction. 14.2 In addition to the above, neither we nor the Seller shall be responsible to you and you shall not be responsible to the Seller or us for any other loss or damage that any of us suffer that is not a foreseeable result of any of us not complying with the Terms and Conditions. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it is obvious that it will happen or if at the time of the sale of the Lot, we, you and the Seller knew it might happen. 14.3 Subject to Clause 14.4, if we are found to be liable to you for any reason (including, amongst others, if we are found to be negligent, in breach of contract or to have made a misrepresentation), our liability will be limited to the total purchase price paid by you to us for any Lot. 14.4 Notwithstanding the above, nothing in these Terms of Sale shall limit our liability (or that of our employees or agents) for: 14.4.1 death or personal injury resulting from negligence (as defined in the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977); 14.4.2 fraudulent misrepresentation; or 14.4.3 any liability which cannot be excluded by law. 15.

Partial exercise of any right under these Terms of Sale will not preclude any further or other exercise of that right or any other right under these Terms of Sale. Waiver of a breach of any term of these Terms of Sale will not operate as a waiver of breach of any other term or any subsequent breach of that term. 17.7 These Terms of Sale and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them (including any non-contractual claims or disputes) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and the parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
