For the 6th annual sale at Slane Castle of things from country houses Adams are pleased to present this eclectic offering, much with interesting provenance.

Although few houses retain their original contents intact (and what auctioneer could sleep soundly at the thought of such?) it was always thus, as families have inherited, accumulated, acquired, given away, sold, replaced or lost their possessions. “Collections”, an awkward word for that which fills a house by choice or chance, now seem to be formed and dispersed quicker than before and perhaps the peculiar patina acquired by portraits of supposed or real ancestors, gathering dust or arrow holes caused by bored children, is not as apparent. Certainly there seems to be less of fossilised dog turd, dead bats and skeletal birds to frighten the wary valuer away from the attics and basements of damp country houses.

More from these houses has survived, contrary to the popular narrative of destruction, than was perhaps as-sumed. Most silver was sent into bank safety during the troubles and the amount of Irish Georgian silver extant is consequently large. Worse was the fashion of applying to existing pieces the dreaded “later” decoration. Much furniture and painting of course, was dispersed and the Irishness thereof discounted until the heroic work of the Knight of Glin redressed the balance. With this awakened appreciation of the achievements of indigenous crafts-men, painters and builders many houses that would have been lost to a jaundiced interpretation of heritage are now wonderfully restored and full of good things again.

Officialdom has followed, perhaps not always on a logical path but so much has been done that only one or two generations ago would never have been. Budgets to acquire items of national importance are tight but one would hope that the scagliola table, a homage to Maria Edgeworth whose writing laid a foundation for defining the Irish character will find a suitable home (Lot 744) and one can but admire the skill of Arthur Jones’ 1851 exhibition piece (Lot 629), or imagine the goodness of the Quaker Unthank and his Limerick jug (Lot 546) or dream of the wealth that ‘The Black Stuff ’ gave to the Guinness family (Lot 708 (bust)).

Here be cruel soldiers, stern statesmen, serious women, young girls, people who with their possessions, passed their time in this country. That Irish history is far from gloomy (as history books insist) is encapsulated by Mac-Donald’s happy picnickers listening to the receding echoes at The Eagle’s Nest, after a very decent lunch (Lot 768)Enjoy!

49 STUDIO OF SAMUEL DIXON (D.1769)A Flower PieceGouache, 41 x 30cmInscribed indistinctly verso

Samuel Dixon (fl. 1748-69) is perhaps best known for his naturalistic pictures of fruit, flowers and birds executed in his signature basso relievo technique. His highly decorative designs did not display any great scientific understanding of his subjects but nonetheless they were and continue to be highly prized. This work displays strong influence of the great Dutch and French artists of the day and the particular technique of using a black background.Dixon’s flower pieces soon became the most sought after decorative items in 18th Century Dublin, so much so that he had to employ assistants to hand colour the reliefs. Artists such as James Riley, Daniel O’ Keeffe and Gustavus Hamilton were perhaps the best of his assistants. The present work is similar in subject and quality to numerous examples by these artists (see Adam’s sale of Important Irish Art 2/4/08, Lot 28 and 1/4/09 Lot 122 for similar signed examples) and a Flower Painting with Lily of the Valley by O’Keeffe (Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge) has striking similarities. The florid inscription in watercolour on the reverse is illegible but similar to signatures on the previously sold examples.

Basil Gotto was the son of the well Known Sculptor Basil Gotto.

€1500-2000

The following nine lots, lots 114-122 relate to the Ashmead Bartlett Family

Sir Ellis Ashmead Bartlett (1849-1902) was born in New York, the son of Ellis Bartlett and Sophia Ashmead. The family claimed to have been descended from Richard Warren of Hertford, England, one of the passengers on the Mayflower. Family folklore also links them to Dr. Josiah Bartlett (1729-1795) one of New Hampshire’s three signatories of the Declaration of Independence. Interestingly ‘Ellis’ is the name of a river in New Hampshire, - Bartlett country.

After the death of his father in 1852 Ellis and his family moved to England. He graduated in Law and History from Oxford in 1871 and was called to the Bar in 1877. In 1880 he was elected as MP for Eye in Suffolk and remained a Member of Parliament until his death in 1902. His eldest son Ellis, born in 1881 became a British war correspond-ent during the First World War. Through his reporting of the Battle of Gallipoli, he was instrumental in the birth of the Anzac legend which still dominates military history in Australia and New Zealand. He was intensely critical of the campaign and described the final offensive as “the most ghastly and costly fiasco in our history since the Battle of Bannockburn.” Through his outspoken criticism of the conduct of the campaign, he was instrumental in bringing about the dismissal of the British commander-in-chief, Sir Ian Hamilton — an event that led to the evacuation of British forces from the Gallipoli peninsula.

185 After JOSEPH HAVERTY RHA (1794-1864) The Triumphant Entry of George IV into Dublin.His Majesty’s Arrival, His Majesty’s Embarkation A pair of coloured aquatints by Robert Havell, each 39 x 60cm.

These prints record the visit of George IV to Ireland in 1821, official business was overshadowed by the King’s wish to visit Slane Castle. These are rare first state prints before the flags were re-engraved to fly at half mast for the death of Queen Caroline. This pair of aquatint prints by Robert Havell, are based on paintings by Joseph Haverty, a close friend of ‘The Liberator’, Daniel O’Connell. Haverty based his depictions on sketches made by John Lushington Reilly, whom Haverty has thoughtfully included in the embarkation scene. The figure of Reilly can be found in the central foreground sketching on horseback. The 18 day visit by George IV began on August 12th 1820, the Kings 59th birthday, and a mere three weeks after his coronation. The visit was arguably the first time a British monarch had visited the countr without an accompanying army, in the traditional sense at least. George IV’s visit was universally greeted with rejoicing from the populace. One of the first to extend his warmest welcome was Daniel O’Connell, who saw the visit as welcome support in his endeavours to achieve Catholic Emancipation, although George only signed the bill reluctantly some eight years later. The King, whilst scheduled to arrive at Kingstown (Dun Laoghaire), instead arrived at Howth harbour in a mood befitting his birthday celebrations. The first print shows the King leading a procession of some two hundred carriages at the head of Sackville Street amidst a spectacular flurry of flags and pageantry. The Lord Mayor’s Guard, who resembled ‘Beefeaters’, can be seen close to the carriage. The King spent the majority of his stay at the Vice Regal Lodge in the Phoenix Park, with the exception of a four day visit to his mistress, Elizabeth Lady Conyngham at Slane Castle. The visit was a resounding success - Daniel O’Connell even suggesting that a collection be taken up from every peasant in Ireland, to facilitate the building of a palace for the new King. The collection did not afford the building of a palace but it did facilitate the building of a new bridge crossing the Liffey at the present location of Heuston Station i.e. King’s Bridge.

Provenance: acquired by the current owners in 2009. It was previously purchased at the Punchestown Racecourse, Co. Kildare.

€15,000 - 20,000

The Crown Jewellers, Garrard’s was founded by George Wickes around 1722. Soon after 1735 he was appointed as goldsmith to the Price of Wales. Robert Garrard took a senior role in the firm in 1802 and thus cemented the name Garrard.

Many 19th century commissions were for Royalty and the aristocracy and can be found in museums, national institutions and important private collections around the world. In 1843, Queen Victoria bestowed the honour of the Crown Jeweller on the company.

The main themes associated with Garrard’s, were ceremony, pageantry and great sporting events. They are renowned for their superb silver craftsmanship. Some presentation trophies include, the Aga Khan; Dubai World Cup; the Cricket World Cup; the Premier League Trophy;

the Ascot, Doncaster and Goodwood Cups and, in 1848, The America’s Cup.

Edwina Emery, a member of the Royal Society of British Sculptors was retained exclusively by Garrard. It is said that she crafted four silver horses whilst with Garrard’s, of which this is one. Internationally renowned for the proud tradition of working with the world’s greatest craftsmen, this is their accolade:

“Edwina Emery is one of the country’s leading sculptors of animal subjects. She has an outstanding ability to capture action, character and likeness in her work. A competitive and successful equestrian in her own right, her extensive knowledge of her subject is reflected in her meticulous attention to detail”.

Provenance: Carrigglas Manor, Co. Longford Note: this picture compares very closely to that by Van der Hagen offered by The Cynthia O’Connor Gallery for the Irish Antique Dealers Fair, 1994. However a problem arises due to a post-mortem date incorporated in the monogram which is obviously authentic. A suggestion arrived at is that there was a younger generation of Van der Hagens, also stage set painters, who produced pastiches of their father’s works and indeed the present lot may stimulate reattribution of works currently given to Van der Hagen senior.

629 AN IMPORTANT IRISH CARVED BOG YEW TEAPOY, by Arthur Jones & Co., 1851, made for The Great Exhibition 53 x 47 x 117cm

After the dislocation caused by the Act of Union and the demoralisation of the Country after the Great Famine there was a considerable re-gaining of confidence in the mid 19th Century.

A new professional and official class emerged which, after the Westminster Parliamentary reforms from 1832 and Catholic emancipation, filled the vacuum created by the political departure of the ascendancy landed class, who in any case had been financially wrecked by the Famine. Architecturally the Catholic church stamped its resurgence on the land with its building of stolid churches, monasteries, convents and institutions which even today have not mellowed. Well-built farm houses on ex-landlord’s lands, villas, rows of brick-built terraced houses appeared all requiring furnishings of Victorian excess.

A reshaped Irish identity was being formed by this bourgeoisie, predicated to allegiance to the British Empire and particularly to the Monarchy. From Maria Edgeworth’s novels through Thomas Moore’s melodies, narratives and symbols were conjured up of True Irishness paralleled by the True Scottishness of Walter Scott that facilitated participation in the distribution of fruits (ie.spoils) from the empire.

Of the Dublin cabinet makers who flourished up to the mid 19th Century, Gillingtons, Williams & Gibton, Beakey et al., probably Strahan and Arthur Jones were best equipped to survive into the late Victorian era. John Lambert Jones who took over the firm was a Victorian entrepreneur par excellence and he lost no opportunity to promote his “Cabinet and Upholstery Manufacturers, 135, Stephen’s Green, Dublin”, “also auctioneers and appraisers and estate agents”; proudly advertised were “Funerals conducted in a superior manner and in various scales of expense, suitable to the rank and means of the deceased.”

The Great Exhibition in London in 1851 was an opportunity too good to miss and Arthur Jones & Sons, Dublin took a stand to display ‘National Historic Furniture of Ireland’. Jones claims that he researched himself the ‘semi-barbaric splendour’ of Ireland’s past and now translated this in ‘wonderful picturesqueness’ to “Sculptured Decorative Furniture” that would contribute to the brilliant moral revival taking place and Ireland could, at last, cease to be ‘a disparagement of Britain’s unparalleled moral and material elevation’.

The ‘Crystal Palace’ exhibition was an unprecedented success but Jones did not sell many of his pieces. Probably he viewed it as a publicity exercise to promote the overall business in Dublin. He recouped his expenses by publishing a ‘description’ of his Sculptured Furniture, Dublin (Hodges & Smith) 1853 and, as explained in a letter from the original owner of this lot, Jones sold 2000 tickets at a guinea each to raffle the pieces, the writer’s father winning the present lot.

One of the chairs in this set is stamped J.P. Lynch, Limerick. Joseph Lynch was a cabinet-maker and joiner who also worked as a furniture dealer. In Limerick trade directories he is recorded as Michael Street from 1906, but by 1914 had moved to the Columcille Factory on Bedford Row. His stamp would indicate that the present chairs passed through his workshop and might have been restored or even sold by him in this early part of this century

Note: a mirror of very similar form to the offered lot is illustrated in the Knight of Glin and James Peill, Irish Furniture, 2007, pl.222, p.261; which notes another similar mirror sold in Christie’s Birr Castle House Sale, 7th October 1981, lot 73. It is noted that the same carver may have completed both mirrors, judging upon similarities in the carving and design. Another remarkably similar mirror was sold in Sotheby’s, London, 27th April 2010, lot 357.

The 18th Century saw many ‘improvements’ in Ireland following the turmoil of the 17th century. There was a push from Irish nobility to promote the country and the Arts, reflected both inside and out. These improvements were benchmarked perhaps by the establishment of the Dublin Society in 1731. Designers were brought from abroad to share their skills and visions in architecture, stucco decoration and cabinetmaking. The developments in Guilds ensured high standards of workmanship in the trades. This mirror provides a fine example of 18th century craftsmanship. It showcases period decorative elements, such as swags of oak leaves to the pierced borders, sacred to Jupiter, below scallop shells, the symbol of Venus; which we see echoed through furniture over the ages.

662 A FINE AND RARE REGENCY VERRE EGLOMISÉ AND BRASS-MOUNTED WHEEL BAROMETER BY JOHN RUSSELL OF FALKIRK,

Royal barometer and clockmaker. The mahogany veneered case surmounted by gilded Prince of Wales’s feathers and banded with rope-twist mounts enclosing verre eglomisé glazed panels and mercury thermometer inscribed ‘R. Society/of London’ and signed ‘Jno. Rufsell Falkirk’ above a main dial of 10 inches inscribed “Rufsell, Falkirk INVT ET FECIT / WATCH MAKER to his R.H. the PRINCE of WALES”, with two smaller inset dials and surrounded by a moulded brass bezel. The scale is calibrated to read between 28 and 31 inches of mercury.

John Russell (c.1745-1817) began his career as a blacksmith but would become one of the “best-known clock and watchmakers of his day” (Goodison, p. 228). He had a shop in Falkirk from about 1770 and made clocks for the Prince of Wales (the Prince Regent, later George IV).

Russell was best known for his wheel barometers, the most elaborate of which were described as “royal-barometers,” since Russell had presented two of them to George III and the Prince of Wales. These are still in the Royal Collection, and have similar verre eglomisé panels below the register plate and enclosing the thermometer (Jagger, plate 285).

Although Prince of Wales feathers had become a popular decorative device among cabinet-makers, in the case of this barometer Russell might well have employed them in reference to his royal warrant. Another of Russell’s wheel barometers, with verre eglomisé panels in gold on a black ground and surmounted by Prince of Wales feathers can be seen in the Victoria and Albert Museum (Edwards, plate 146).

674 STEPHEN CATTERSON SMITH (1806-1872) (AFTER THOMAS BEECHEY)

Portrait of Lord Lorton, standing three-quarter length wearing military uniform, with cape. Oil on canvas, 140 x 110cm

Robert Edward King (1773-1854) was a younger son of the 2nd Earl of Kingston and inherited the Rockingham estate. His daughter, Jane, married Anthony Lefroy of Carriglass. A supporter of the Union King received titles and built an architecturally advanced house to the designs of John Nash c.1810. He had already fought a duel with his mother’s half-brother Colonel Fitzgerald who had abducted his sister and was subsequently implicated in the Colonel’s murder at the Kilworth Inn near Mitchelstown. Opinion is divided over his reputation as a landlord; a ruthless policy of evictions, was coupled with subsidies for tenants to resettle in Canada and he pursued a responsible and relatively generous policy in dealing with the famine. It was, however, all a puff of wind as his son the 2nd Viscount (also 6th Earl of Kingston) and his adulteress wife Ann Gore-Booth ruined the estate by leading a rackety life on the continent producing random children of doubtful parentage.

It is likely that the present photographs are a record of the house at that time.

An invaluable record, the house having since being systematically denuded of the spectacular collections formed by the 2nd Earl of Bantry (1800-1868), of significant note is the positioning of “Erminia and the wounded Tancred”, over the mantel piece (now Accedemia, Venice) and “Charles and Ubaldo resisting the enchantments of Armida’s nymphs”, over the door (now National Gallery, Washington) from the set of eight by Giovanni Antonio and Francesco Guardi.

Benjamin Lee Guinness (1798-1868)The 3rd son of Arthur Guinness and Anne Lee, he joined the eponymous brewery at the age of 16, and he was in sole control by 1858. He was an exemplary employer and modernised the plant. By creating a system of commission agents his porter, the famous “Dublin black stuff ” became a house-hold word world-wide, and the Guinness family became immensely rich. A devout man with a sense of social duty he undertook serious charitable works, continued by his sons, and restored St. Patricks cathedral at his own expense (some £150,000) by 1865.

In his public life he was Lord Mayor of Dublin 1851 and as a conservative unionist was M.P. for Dublin City 1865-1868.

Even after having set-up numerous charitable trusts his personal estate of £1,100,000 was the largest probated will seen in Ireland. His main beneficiary being his son Arthur Edward, later Lord Ardilaun who inherited St. Anne’s, Clontarf and Ashford Castle, Co. Galway. The town house 80 St. Stephens Green was inherited by the younger brother Edward Cecil to whom Lord Ardilaun sold his shares in the brewery and who in 1886 floated Guinness on the stock market when subscriptions reached an unprecedented £100 million and more.

The Kinght of Glin considered these tables to be Irish and posited that the plasterer John McCullough was responsible for the distinctive frieze of ram’s heads and acanthus filled stop-fluting.

It is possible that the painted decoration which echoes the Adams friezes with opposing griffins and other neo-classical allusions is original.

Headfort is the one great interior designed by Robert Adam in Ireland and the ‘eating-parlour’ has been magnificently restored.

744 THE MARIA EDGEWORTH TABLE. AN EARLY 19TH CENTURY SCAGLIOLA CIRCULAR TOPPED TABLE

An Italian early nineteenth century scagliola trompe l’oeil circular table top by Pietro Della Valle with signature acanthus leaf and anthemion ground decorated in a naturalistic manner with four scattered engravings; sheet music for ‘St. Patricks Day in the morning’; an envelope addresses to ‘Miss Edgeworth, Edgeworthstown, Ireland’ from William Macbean and an extract from Sir Walter Scott’s General Preface to The Waverely Novels where he commends Miss Edgeworth’s literary accomplishments, dated 1832. 84.5cm diameter

The circumstance of the gift to Maria Edgeworth of the present lot, presumably by the Livorno merchant, William Macbean, who signs the envelope, has yet to be described. One fact that may not be a coincidence is the presence of Edgeworth’s neighbour, Anthony Lefroy, as a banker in Livorno. It is a homage to the renowned writer Maria Edgeworth (1768-1849) considered the first novelist to depict the generality of human nature through local observation. Admired by Jane Austen, her greatest influence was on Walter Scott, whose acknowledgement and appreciation of her he states in the preface to Waverley (1814) and which is recorded in this table. Walter Scott visited Edgeworthstown in 1825.

Consciously grouped in the present image are Edgeworth, Scott and Moore; from them came the novels of the Victorian era and the strong re-creation of Scottish and Irish identities and symbols that could fuse romantically with the Imperial Call stirring the increasingly affluent bourgeoisie. These never quite translated into republicanism but are, perhaps, today being reassessed with renewed affection and Maria herself has enjoyed something of a renaissance following the publication of her biography by Marilyn Butler.

Provenance: Edgesworthtown House, sold at auction with the remaining contents 1950s €40,000 - 50,000

Scagliola was often regarded by scholars as a lesser alternative to pietra dura however the finest examples of scagliola work from the 18th century often exceeded that of the hard stone work. It is a composite material akin to plaster, made from selenite, the purist form of gypsum. This is calcified, reduced to a fine powder mixed into a paste and rolled out onto a slab. It is then incised with channels for the decoration, which are filled with colours and eventually polished.(With thanks to J.Cook, author of Masters of the Art of Scagliola)

The scagliola work evidenced here is distinctly from the Livorno workshops of Pietro Della Valle who was active during the first half of the 19th century. He was listed by Volpi in his Livorno guide of 1846 as one of the area’s most significant artists and was particularly notable for his individualistic style of scagliola craftsmanship. The sophisticated and ornate decoration and choice of subjects are typical of Della Valle and here we see a typical composition of strewn engravings, sheet music, etc on a mottled ground with a border of acanthus leaves, acorns and anthemions. A directly comparable table top attributed to Della Valle was with Carlton Hobbs, New York.

768 DANIEL MACDONALD (1821-1853)The Eagle’s Nest, KillarneyOil on canvas, 67 x 62.5cmSigned and inscribed “Cork 1841”

The Eagle’s Nest: The lakes of Killarney were identified in the 18th century by the followers of the ‘picaresque’ as a desired destination to experience the sublime and a tourist industry flourished.

Among the attractions were the remarkable echoes that could be got by the firing of the cannon. A guidebook of 1852 described the effect “The report produced a discordant crash, as if the whole pile of rocks were rent asunder, and the succeeding echoes resemble a tremendous peal of thunder. Twelve reverberations, and sometimes more, may be distinctly counted and what appears extraordinary, after the sound has been totally lost, it occasionally revives, becomes louder and louder and then dies away”.

Arthur Young in, A Tour in Ireland 1780, wrote “At that noble rock (The Eagle’s Nest), fired three cannon for the echo which indeed is prodigious; the report does not consist of direct reverberation from one rock to another with a pause between, but has an exact resemblance to a peal of thunder rattling behind the rock as if travelling the whole scenery we had viewed, and lost in the immensity of MacGillicuddy’s Reeks”.

A variation of a cannon discharge, the bugle call, was immortalised by Alfred Tennyson “Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild echoes flying // Blow, bugle: answer, echoes, dying, dying, dying!”

Other artists depicted this scene, in particular, Jonathan Fisher (N.G.I.), Thomas Walmsley and Bartholomew Colles Watkins.

Provenance: By repute Dublin Castle, afterwards Carrigglas Manor

This is the Woburn Abbey image, of which the English National Portrait Gallery holds a half-length version.

A favourite of Queen Elizabeth, Essex had an adventurous career both as a solider and sailor in the wars with Spain culminating in the Sack of Cadiz. He was chancellor of the University of Cambridge and was held in high regard as a patron of literature, and as a writer of sonnets and performer of masques. He advanced Francis Bacon who was to betray him at his trial for treason which originated in the accusation of his having made “a dishonourable and dangerous treaty” with O’Neill, 5th June 1600. His Irish estates, which his father had seized in South Ulster after a pretty nasty campaign were restored to the 3rd Earl and remained in family possession until the 19th Century.

781 EDWARD BOREIN (1872-1945)The Grass HuntersInk and gouache, 54 x 68cm Signed

Born in northern California in 1872, Edward Borein travelled south to work as a cowboy at the age of twenty-one, and worked his way through California and the length of Mexico. While working on the range, the young Borein sketched from the saddle in his spare time, and then later completed more refined work in pen and ink. By the turn of the century, Borein had returned north to Oakland and set up his first studio, but by 1907 he had moved to New York to further his career. It was here that his popularity mounted, and increasingly he found a ready market for his etchings and watercolours. Unsurprisingly he found constant work as a magazine and advertisement illustrator. Due to the realism his art portrayed, and the true Western cowboy spirit it evoked, Edward Borein was quickly branded the “cowpuncher artist” by his friends and artist peers.In 1921, Borein settled in Santa Barbara and opened a studio in the historic El Paseo complex. According to his biographer Harold Davidson, “By this time Borein was aware of what he was doing, and told his friends many times he was documenting the Old West as he had lived and seen it. Every detail of horse, rider, saddle and gear, longhorn, and Indian had to be right. There are many stories of some detail of an etching being challenged, but the artist remained adamant, and usually was proven correct.” Edward Borein also proved quite prolific and produced over three hundred different etchings, a multitude of watercolours and ink drawings, and a handful of oil paintings. A significant collection of his works are held in the permanent collection at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum. The present work, ‘The Grass Hunters’ was given by Borein to his fellow artist Louis Akin who in turn gave it to his friend Thomas A. Flynn. It was subsequently given by Flynn to Arizona Lumber Co. founder, M.J.Riordan of Flagstaff, AZ and thence by descent to the present owners. An etching with this title is based closely on this drawing. See John Galvin The Etchings of Edward Borein: A Catalogue of his work (1971) Catalogue no. 28.We acknowledge Santa Barbara Historical Museum for information on the artist.

Loo tables usually in octagonal format, were for the drawing room game of Panterloo, popular in the early 19th century. Designs for these tables appear in the published cataloguing of the day. J.C. Loudon (1833) recommends that they be made of rosewood and inlaid in patterns of exotic woods.

790 JOHN NASH (C.1826)The Royal Pavilion at BrightonHand coloured aquatint engravings, and thirteen others from the set, the largest 31 x 46cm, mounted, glazed and framed. (14) Various dates have been given as to when this work was commenced (and those on the outlines are of publication, not execution). Part was done in 1818 and 1819, but it was in March 1820 that the work was begun in earnest, the final plates being engraved in 1825. On publication, the following appeared as the title: The Royal Pavilion at Brighton, published by the command of and dedicated by permission to the King by His Majesty’s dutiful Subject and Servant John Nash”. No date is given, but the lettering on the ‘spine’ of a bound volume reads “Views of the Royal Pavilion, Brighton, Hash, London, 1826”. It is not clear whether Nash published this work as a private speculation or if it was subsidized by George IV; probably he issued it himself, as the plates were sold after his death, and the King may have undertaken to purchase a certain number of copies. Nash entrusted the execution of the plates to Augustus Pugin, father of A. N. Welby Pugin, who employed a number of artists to work under him. They produced thirty-five illustrations on thirty-one plates, of which fourteen are offered here. Of these plates, twenty-eight were aquatinted and mounted on a thin, light buff-coloured card, surrounded by a gilt line, as well as double brown lines, one thicker than the other. The three other plates consisted of outlines only, while of the twenty-eight plates in aquatint all but four had outlines in addition.

Thomas Clement Thompson was born in 1780 and according to Walter Strickland was probably a native of Belfast. He was admitted to the Dublin Society drawing schools at the age of sixteen. His career began however as a miniature painter in Belfast and Dublin and after developing a reputation in this field he abandoned it in order to concentrate on portrait painting in oil. He acquired a good practice painting, as Strickland put it, many persons of distinction. Thompson was one of the founding members of the Royal Hibernian Academy in 1823 and exhibited regularly himself up to 1852. Another self-portrait where he represents himself, palette in hand, before an easel on which is his portrait of George IV, is in the collection of The National Gallery of Ireland.

Prior to auction ample opportunity is given for the inspection of the Lots on sale and each buyer by making a bid acknowledges that he has, by exercising and relying on his own judgment, satisfied himself as to the physical condition, age and Catalogue description of each Lot (including but not restricted to whether the Lot is damaged or has been repaired or restored). All Lots are sold with all faults and imperfections and errors of description. None of the seller, the Auctioneer nor any of their employees, servants or agents shall be responsible for any error of description or for the condition or authenticity of any Lot. No warranty whatso-ever is given by the seller or Auctioneer or by any of their employees, servants or agents in respect of any Lot and any condition or warranty express or implied by statute or otherwise is hereby specifically excluded.

Forgeries20. Any amount paid by a buyer in respect of a Lot which, if it is proved within three (3) years of the date of the auction at which it was purchased, to have been a Forgery shall be refunded to the seller subject to the provisions hereof, provided that:

(a) The Lot has been returned by the buyer to the Auctioneer within three (3) years of the date of the auction in the same condition in which it was at the time of the auction together with evidence proving that it is a Forgery, the number of the Lot and the date of the auction at which it was purchased;

(b) The Auctioneer is satisfied that the Lot is a Forgery and that the buyer has and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the Lot free from any third party claims;

FURTHER PROVIDED THAT the buyer shall have no rights hereunder if:(i) The description of the Lot in the Catalogue at the time of the auction was in accordance

with the then generally accepted opinion of scholars or experts or fairly indicated that there was a conflict of such opinion;

(ii) The only method of establishing at the time of the auction in question that the Lot was a Forgery would have been by means of scientific processes which were not generally accepted for use until after the date of the auction or which were unreasonably expensive or impracti-cal.

The buyer’s sole entitlement under this condition is to a refund of the actual amount paid by him in respect of the Lot. Under no circumstances shall the Auctioneer be liable for any damage, loss (including consequential, indirect or economic loss) or expense suffered or incurred by the buyer by reason of the Lot being a Forgery.

The benefit of this condition shall be solely and exclusively for the buyer and shall not be assignable. The buyer shall for the purpose of this condition be the person to whom the original invoice in respect of the sale of the Lot is made.

Photographs21. The buyer authorises the Auctioneer at any time to make use of any photographs or illustrations of the Lot purchased by the buyer for such purposes as the Auctioneer may require.

(i) To decide whether to offer any Lot for sale or not;

This also applies to changes in reserves. A reserve may not be placed upon any Lots under €500 in value. The reserve shall be the minimum Hammer Price at which the Lot may be sold by the Auctioneer. A reserve once in place may only be changed with the consent of the Auctioneer. A commission shall be charged on the ‘knock-down’ bid for Lots which fail to reach the reserve price. Such commission shall be 5% of the ‘knock-down’ bid. This commission and any VAT payable thereon must be paid before removal of the Lot after the auction. The minimum commission hereunder shall be €25. The Auctioneer may in its sole discretion sell a Lot at a Hammer Price below the reserve therefore but in such case the Proceeds

of Sale to which the seller shall be entitled shall be the same as they would have been had the sale been at the reverse.

Unless a reserve has been placed on a Lot in accordance with the provisions set out above such Lot shall be put up for sale without reserve.

In the event that any reserve price is not reached at auction then for so long as the Lot remains with the Auctioneer and to the extent that the Lot has not been re-entered in another auction pursuant to condition 31 the seller authorises the Auctioneer to sell the Lot by private treaty at not less than the reserve price. The Auctioneer shall ensure that in such a case those conditions herein which concern mainly the buyer shall, with any necessary modification, apply to such sale.

The seller authorises the Auctioneer to deduct from the Hammer Price paid by the buyer the Auctioneer’s Commission under this condition; VAT payable at the applicable rates and any other amounts due by the seller to the Auctioneer in whatever capacity howsoever arising.

Payment of Proceeds of Sale28. The Auctioneer shall remit the Proceeds of Sale to the seller not later than thirty (30) days after the date of the auction, provided however that, if by that date, the Auctioneer has not received the Total Amount Due from the buyer then the Auctioneer shall remit the Proceeds of Sale within seven (7) working days after the date on which the Total Amount Due is received from the buyer.
