207 ATTRIBUTED TO JOSEPH MARSHAll (c1773 - 5) A three-quarter perspective view of a Royal Navy Frigate, oil on board, 17¾” x 26”

Provenance: Possibly King George III. This is thought to be one of a group of three-quarter perspective drawings of ships of the Royal Navy produced by Joseph Marshall. The paintings were ordered by the First Lord of the Admiralty for King George III. These works were produced from the original Navy Board plans, and each work was accompanied by a memorandum describing the improvements in design that had taken place in recent years. A number of works from the collection are in permanent collections of the Science Museum and the National Maritime Museum.

Private collection West Dorset.

This panel was discovered being used as a table top, the painting was discovered quite by chance as it was concealed on the underside of the top, securely glued and nailed in place. How this fine work of art came to be used in this manner has not been ascertained.

We are grateful to John Graves at the National Maritime Museum Greenwich for his assistance with the cataloguing of this lot.

The model of St George and The Dragon appears to have been added to this work sometime after its initial creation. It’s presence has several possible layers of symbolic meaning. Firstly, it may represent the Allied victory of good over evil during World War II. In addition, as St George is the patron saint of Moscow, it may be emblematic of the alliance between Britain and Russian at the time. It may also have been added to celebrate Elizabeth II’s Coronation in 1953. Finally, the presence of St George and The Dragon could allude to the Great George insignia given by Queen Anne to John Churchill, Ist Duke of Marlborough, to celebrate his victory at the Battle of Blenheim.

This portrait is illustrated opposite page 1 of The Victory Book, published by Odhams Press Ltd to commemorate the Allied victory in World War II. A copy of this publication is included with this lot.

Thomas Francis Abbott (1854 -1886)

One of seven children born to Admiral Jonas Archer Abbott and Mary Ellis Stevens, Abbott had a short but distinguished Naval career that saw him play a leading part in a number of historic actions, and brought him into contact with many important Victorian figures including Queen Victoria, the First Sea Lord Louis Battenberg, Lord Charles Beresford the Admiral of the Fleet and many others. Abbott seems to have seen almost uninterrupted service from the age of 13 visiting many varied countries and experiencing a huge variety of different cultures. Thomas Abbott joined HM Training Ship Britannia on 9th March 1867, he achieved the rank of Midshipman by 1869 and Sub Lieutenant by 1873. Abbott served on a large number of different ships that saw active service around the globe including HMS Modeste, Thistle, Shah, Cambridge, Alexandra and from 1884 as first Lieutenant aboard Her Majesties Yacht Victoria and Albert.

Abbott saw service in a large number of different geographical regions including service with the Naval Brigade in Zululand, he visited Pitcairn Island at a time when Mrs Young, the second child born on the island to mutineers was still alive. Abbott goes into some detail of the life on Pitcairn in his journals.

Abbot was involved in two particularly important actions during his career, the first whilst Sub Lieutenant aboard the Thistle when he accompanied James Birch, her Majesties commissioner, at Passir Sala, Malay Straits, in 1875 when Mr Birch was murdered. Birch, who is remembered as an abrupt and cantankerous man, had been sent to impose British authority on the young

state ruler Sultan Abdullah. Relations deteriorated, and whilst Birch took a bath in a palm leaf clad hut, Malays surrounded the hut and thrust spears through the walls and Birch was killed. Further deaths ensued and it was only as a result of the endeavours of Abbot and his small force defending the residency against a number of attacks that the position was held and order was maintained.

In 1877, whilst aboard the ‘Shah’ as Lieutenant, Abbot was involved in the attack on the Peruvian ironclad ‘Huascar’, an action that seems to have been long and drawn out with many attempts by the Frigate to capture the ironclad. Abbott was given command of the Steam Pinnace, a handwritten memo amongst the papers in this lot record this instruction: ‘You are to take command of the Steam Pinnace in the Expedition tonight …. The intention is, if possible, to strike first with the Whitehead Torped ….or .. endeavour to blow her up with the outrigger torpedo.’ Abbot was consequently involved in one of the very first aggressive uses of a torpedo against another ship, and the action of a traditional craft against an ironclad marks a fascinating point in Naval history.

Abbott was buried at Brading on the Isle of Wight, his oak coffin was borne on a ‘Wellington funeral car’ followed by nine mourning coaches and private carriages, Queen Victoria sent a telegram of condolence as did the Prince of Wales. Both these telegrams are contained within this archive.

GlOSSARY OF CATAlOGUING TERMS

The use of onverted comas around the name of an artist, or date, in connetion with a signature, or inscription (ie. signed “Nicholas Chevalier”) indicates that the signature, or inscription, may have been added by another hand.

COlOURED GEM STONESProspective buyers of coloured gemstones should be aware that some stones might have been treated to enhance their colour or clarity. Sapphires and rubies are commonly heat-treated and emeralds are commonly oiled. In the case of oiling, this may need to be redone after a period of years. The international jewellery trade has generally accepted these methods.

ARTIST’S RESAlE RIGHTFrom mid February 2006 living artists are entitled by law to receive a resale royalty each time their work is resold by or to an art market professional. From 1st January 2012 the Right has been extended to include sales of works by artists who have died within the last 70 years (following the existing term of copyright). Royalties will be payable to the families and beneficiaries of these artists. An art work must be resold for more than 1,000 Euros to qualify for the right. The rates payable are calculated as a percentage of the hammer price and are set out in a sliding scale from 4% to 0.25%. The charge is exclusive of VAT. The auctioneers reserve the right to pass all of the cost to the person buying the qualifying art work

PAINTINGS, DRAWINGS AND PRINTS


The auctioneers are always pleased to discuss individual lots with prospective purchasers prior to the auction and will provide condi-tion reports on request. If you require clarification of any terms employed in the catalogue please do not hesitate to seek advice. The auctioneers are also pleased to discuss lots which may have been altered, repaired, or restored.

The term basically used in conjunction with a date (ie. basically 18th century) indicates that, in our opinion, the item may have under-gone restoration, repair, or alteration. It also indicates that only an element of the piece may date from the period stated in the descrip-tion. The absence of the term basically does not imply that an item is without restoration, repair, or alteration. The use of inverted comas around a word or phrase (ie. “pearl”) indicates that the piece, or object, may not be what it is purporting to be. (ie. a simulated pearl). If you are in doubt our specialists are available prior to the auction to offer guidance and advice.

With Chinese ceramics and works of art, if the catalogue states that the object in question bears a mark, but it does not state “and of the period” it indicates that we believe the lot in question may not date from the period suggested by the mark. Clearly, references to the colour of jade are subjective and again buyers are advised to inspect personally any items on which they intend to bid to ensure the colour meets with their expectation.

Descriptions of property in this catalogue do not always indicate condition, repair or damage. Buyers are earnestly advised to inspect personally any lot they intend to purchase. Weights and measurements are approximate and should be verified by intending purchasers

CONDITIONS OF SAlE

Duke’s carries on business with bidders, buyers and all those present in the auction room prior to or in connection with a sale on the following General Conditions and on such other terms, conditions and notices as may be referred to herein.

(c) “hammer price” means the level of bidding reached (at or above any reserve) when the auctioneer brings down the hammer;

(d) “terms of consignment” means the stipulated terms and rates of commission on which Duke’s accepts instructions from sellers or their agents;

(g) “You”, “Your”, etc. refer to the buyer as identified in Condition 2.(h) The singular includes the plural and vice versa as appropriate.

2 BIDDING PROCEDURES AND THE BUYER(a) Bidders are required to register their particulars before bidding and to satisfy any security

arrangements before entering the auction room to view or bid; (b) the maker of the highest bid accepted by the auctioneer conducting the sale shall be the

buyer at the hammer price and any dispute about a bid shall be settled at the auctioneer’s absolute discretion by reoffering the Lot during the course of the auction or otherwise. The auctioneer shall act reasonably in exercising this discretion.

(c) Bidders shall be deemed to act as principals.(d) Once made, no bid may be withdrawn.(e) Our right to bid on behalf of the seller is expressly reserved up to the amount of any reserve

and the right to refuse any bid is also reserved.

3 INCREMENTS Bidding increments shall be at the auctioneer’s sole discretion.

6 PAYMENT(1) Immediately a Lot is sold you will:(a) give to us, if requested, proof of identity, and(b) pay to us the total amount due in cash or in such other way as is agreed by us.(2) Any payments by you to us may be applied by us towards any sums owing from you to us

on any account whatever without regard to any directions of you or your agent, whether express or implied.

7 TITLE AND COLLECTION OF PURCHASES(1) The ownership of any Lots purchased shall not pass to you until you have made payment

in full to us of the total amount due.(2) You shall at your own risk and expense take away any lots that you have purchased

and paid for not later than 3 working days following the day of the auction or upon the clearance of any cheque used for payment after which you shall be responsible for any removal, storage and insurance charges.

(3) No purchase can be claimed or removed until it has been paid for.

8 REMEDIES FOR NON-PAYMENT OR FAILURE TO COLLECT PURCHASES(1) If any Lot is not paid for in full and taken away in accordance with these Conditions or if

there is any other breach of these Conditions, we, as agent for the seller and on our own behalf, shall at our absolute discretion and without prejudice to any other rights we may have, be entitled to exercise one or more of the following rights and remedies:

(a) to proceed against you for damages for breach of contract;

(b) to rescind the sale of that Lot and/or any other Lots sold by us to you;(c) to resell the Lot (by auction or private treaty) in which case you shall be responsible for

any resulting deficiency in the total amount due (after crediting any part payment and adding any resale costs). Any surplus so arising shall belong to the seller;

9 THIRD PARTY LIABILITY All members of the public on our premises are there at their own risk and must note

the lay-out of the accommodation and security arrangements. Accordingly neither the auctioneer nor our employees or agents shall incur liability for death or personal injury (except as required by law by reason of our negligence) or similarly for the safety of the property of persons visiting prior to or at a sale.

10 COMMISSION BIDS Whilst prospective buyers are strongly advised to attend the auction and are always

responsible for any decision to bid for a particular Lot and shall be assumed to have carefully inspected and satisfied themselves as to its condition we will if so instructed clearly and in writing execute bids on their behalf. Neither the auctioneer nor our employees or agents shall be responsible for any failure to do so save where such failure is unreasonable. Where two or more commission bids at the same level are recorded we reserve the right in our absolute discretion to prefer the first bid so made.

11 WARRANTY OF TITLE AND AVAILABILITY The seller warrants to the auctioneer and you that the seller is the true owner of the

property consigned or is properly authorised by the true owner to consign it for sale and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims.

sellers or buyers.

13 TERMS OF SALE The seller acknowledges that Lots are sold subject to the stipulations of these Conditions

in their entirety and on the Terms of Consignment as notified to the consignor at the time of the entry of the Lot.

14 DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITION(1) Whilst we seek to describe lots accurately, it may be impractical for us to carry out

exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Prospective buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description applied to a lot. Prospective buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the auctioneer nor our employees or agents nor the seller accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and all conditions and warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of lots, express, implied or statutory, are hereby excluded. This Condition is subject to the next following Condition concerning deliberate forgeries and applies save as provided for in paragraph 6 “information to buyers”.

(2) Private treaty sales made under these Conditions are deemed to be sales by auction for purposes of consumer legislation.

15 FORGERIES Notwithstanding the preceding Condition, any Lot which proves to be a deliberate forgery

(as defined) may be returned to us by you within 21 days of the auction provided it is in the same condition as when bought, and is accompanied by particulars identifying it from the relevant catalogue description and a written statement of defects. If we are satisfied from the evidence presented that the Lot is a deliberate forgery we shall refund the money paid by you for the Lot including any buyer’s premium provided that (1) if the catalogue description reflected the accepted view of scholars and experts as at the date of sale or (2) you personally are not able to transfer a good and marketable title to us, you shall have no rights under this condition.

The right of return provided by this Condition is additional to any right or remedy provided by law or by these Conditions of Sale.

16 GENERAL We shall have the right at our discretion, to refuse admission to our premises or attendance

at our auctions by any person.(1) any right to compensation for losses liabilities and expenses incurred in respect of and as

a result of any breach of these Conditions and any exclusions provided by them shall be available to the seller and/or the auctioneer as appropriate.

(2). Such rights and exclusions shall extend to and be deemed to be for the benefit of employees and agents of the seller and/or the auctioneer who may themselves enforce them.

(3) Any notice to any buyer, seller, bidder or viewer may be given by first class mail or Swiftmail in which case it shall be deemed to have been received by the addressee 48 hours after posting.

(4) Special terms may be used in catalogue descriptions of particular classes of items in which case the descriptions must be interpreted in accordance with any glossary appearing at the commencement of the catalogue.

(5) Any indulgence extended to bidders buyers or sellers by us notwithstanding the strict terms of these Conditions or of the Terms of Consignment shall affect the position at the relevant time only and in respect of that particular concession only; in all other respects these Conditions shall be construed as having full force and effect.

(6) English law applies to the interpretation of these Conditions.
