STEPHENSON (GEORGE)Series of six autograph letters signed ('Geo. Stephenson') to Henry Belcher (first) and Thomas Clark at the Railway Office, Whitby, Yorkshire reporting from Stone (3 Jan. 1824) that 'Before I set off for Whitby I considered it necessary to spend time looking after the manufacture of the Rails' by visiting the Caponfield Works 'and those of Mr. Foster', and his discovery that the former 'have got nothing done except the rollers...'; from North Hotel, Birmingham (7 April 1834) asking the recipient to offer his apologies to the Chairman of Directors for not being able to journey to London, and offering his opinion on various matters relating to preparations for the Whitby railway ('With respect to the weighing machines the tender from Mr. Kitchin of Warrington appears to be the most eligible...'), providing specifications and costings, and advising 'With respect to the Rails &c Mr. Longridge's offer appears to be a very fair one, provided it is for iron of the quality mentioned in the specification...'; on 30 April 1834, further confirming that 'of the tenders recv. from Longridge and Mr. Foster Mr. Longridge's tender appears to be decidedly the more eligible', and advising he is the in the process of testing the Rails 'which are being prepared by the Capon Field Iron Iron Co.', and that he will shortly go the works to 'make a personal inspection of the Rails, and their progress in completing the order...'; on 28 May 1834 promising he will again visit Capon Field, and stating 'I am extremely anxious to visit Whitby but I am afraid I cannot be there at this time...', a sentiment echoed on 4 October 1835, whilst confirming he has had 'a good deal conversation with Mr. Swanwick about the incline plane, and I am not... satisfied with either the stationery engine or the water wheel. The stationery engine will be expensive to keep on account of the cost of coal. The water wheel will be too costly to put up unless there be more traffic on the line than I can at present forsee...', and that he is working on another plan which 'I shall have... prepared when I go down to Whitby. The machinery will not cost much in erecting and no time will be lost in turning to this arrangement....'; and in September 1835 thanking Clark for sending 'the minutes of the Directors', promising to visit shortly, and assuring him that 'it is my wish to have that great work set forward is possible, and you will please to inform my Whitby friends that no exertion of mine shall be wanting to give them a taste of the benefits of it...', each 4 pages (including integral address, with red postal stamp, 4 pages blank), old folds, age-dusted, small hole at head (touching a couple of letters to each), 4to Stone, 3 January 1834, North Hotel, Birmingham 7 April 1834, London, 30 April 1834, and Alton Grange, 28 May 1834, 4 October 1835 and 6 September 1835, loosely inserted into an album, with other letters and cut signatures - see footnote (quantity)Footnotes:'BEFORE I SET OF FOR WHITBY I CONSIDERED IT NECESSARY TO SPEND TIME LOOKING AFTER THE MANUFACTURE OF THE RAILS' - Series of six letters written by George Stephenson to the Railway Office at Whitby, Yorkshire in which he reports to the Directors of the Whitby and Pickering Railway for which he had been employed as engineer. Since his engine Rocket triumphed at the Rainhill trials in 1829 'Stephenson's life was a history of the railway progress of the country... there was hardly a railway scheme in which Stephenson was not consulted, or an important line built without his help and advice' (ODNB).

HENRI GAUDIER-BRZESKA (FRENCH 1891-1915) THE MADONNA OF 'THE MIRACLE' WITH SELF-PORTRAIToil on canvas55 x 43cm; 21 3/4 x 17in74 X 61cm; 29 x 24in (framed)Property from a Deceased EstateProvenance:Mr & Mrs Thomas Leman Hare (commissioned from the artist. Thomas Leman Hare was a publisher and collector and in the 1920s became editor of Apollo magazine)Mrs Genevieve Shillingford (god-daughter of Mrs Leman Hare)Miss Joia Shillingford (daughter of the above)Sale, Sotheby's London, 11th November 1981, lot 242 (sold by the above)A. Leslie (probably purchased at the above sale)Alton Gallery, BarnesPurchased by the late owner from the above prior to 1990Painted in 1912, this is a unique example in Gaudier-Brzeska’s oeuvre both in being painted on canvas rather than paper, and in the silhouette self-portrait holding a brush. The statuette in the foreground of the composition is a plaster Gaudier had recently completed of Madame Carmi in the leading role of the Madonna in The Miracle performed at the London Olympia. The plaster is now in the collection of Kettle's Yard, Cambridge (fig. 1). The present painting was almost certainly executed in the Thameside home of his patrons, Mr and Mrs Leman Hare, on Chiswick Mall. Thomas Leman Hare (1872-1935) was a painter, collector and writer on art, who subsequently became editor of Apollo magazine. Friends of the Leman Hares included fellow art writer Haldane Macfall, painter and illustrator Claud Lovat Fraser and the aspiring young writer Enid Bagnold, who later achieved fame as the author of National Velvet. Gaudier-Brzeska had arrived from his native France with his companion Sophie Brzeska early in 1911 and had entered the orbit of this group in January 1912 after writing to Haldane Macfall in response to an article he had published in the English Review. Gaudier modelled portraits of several of them and contacts with more advanced artists and writers followed notably with the sculptor Jacob Epstein, some of the Camden Town painters and with Roger Fry’s Omega Workshop. In 1914 he was elected to the London Group and emerged as one of the leaders of the short-lived, radical Vorticist Group before his tragically premature death in France aged only 23. Performed from 21 December 1911 to 10 February 1912, The Miracle, produced by the German impressario Max Reinhardt was an extravaganza - part medieval miracle play, part wordless musical pageant involving around 1,700 performers including orchestra and chorus, horses, actors and a set evoking the interior of a medieval church which is probably that sketched on the verso of Gaudier’s canvas (fig. 2). It was a hit which subsequently toured in Europe and the US, was revived in the 1920s and filmed in three versions. It also launched the career of Maria Carmi who incarnated the central figure, a sculpture of the Madonna and the redemptive figure of the nun at the core of the plot.The statuette of Maria Carmi (1880-1957) was one of Gaudier’s earliest commissions. He was paid £5. The commission and the process of its making were described both by Sophie Brzeska in the ‘Journal’ of her life with Gaudier (Cambridge University Library) and by Gaudier himself in a letter, dated 12 February 1912, to Haldane Macfall (National Art Library).In Sophie Brzeska’s account Mrs Leman Hare arrived at their Chelsea lodgings, just as they were packing up to move, to offer Gaudier the commission and to insist that he and Sophie Brzeska accompany the Hares to the final performance who had already seen it eight times; ‘There is a large number of people who admire Maria Carmi as much as we do. So my husband had the idea to ask Lord Northcliffe and a few other gentlemen whether they might not like to contribute to having a bust made of this divine Madonna. Lord Northcliffe was enchanted by the idea. . . We are going to have a copy cast in bronze to offer to Madame Carmi and then fifty or so in plaster which will sell easily.’Two days later Gaudier gave a down-to-earth account in a letter to Macfall, describing the sculpture as a statuette rather than a bust. ‘Off we went as tired as could be, made about sixty sketches of the subject, came back home…at 1 o’clock yesterday, and spent the whole morning putting up the clay for the thing.’ He added ‘Mr Hare gave me a very good idea. He suggested that I should indicate on the plaster cast the different colours gold, red and blue and this I will do.’On 26 February Gaudier was able to report to Macfall that the mould was finished and he expected to be able to cast the piece that evening. A second plain white cast was made, later probably destroyed, but the projected edition never came to fruition.The archive image of the statuette (fig. 1) shows short brush strokes of colour applied in an Impressionist technique although all the colour has now deteriorated to dark brown in this sculpture (Kettle’s Yard, Cambridge). A pastel of The Madonna alone (Private Collection) is more densely pigmented in red, blue, green and ochre (H Brodzky, Gaudier-Brzeska Drawings, 1946, colour frontispiece). One may surmise that Gaudier included the mirrored image of himself as a painter rather than sculptor in his canvas in acknowledgement of Leman Hare’s colour suggestion.We are grateful to Dr Evelyn Silber for her assistance in preparing this catalogue entry. fig. 1, Archival photograph of Gaudier-Brzeska, Mme Carmi as the Madonna in 'The Miracle', plaster, 1912 (courtesy of Kettle's Yard, University of Cambridge)fig. 2, The reverse of the present lot, almost certainly showing the stage set of The Miracle performed at Olympia Exhibition Halls 1911-12

Six: Lieutenant F. B. A. Cardew, Devonshire Regiment, Later Royal Engineers, a cousin of Field Marshal the Viscount Montgomery of Alamein, he was taken Prisoner of War during the Great War, before going onto see service in the Second World War attached to Montgomery’s Staff 1914-15 Star (2/Lt F.

Devon R.); France and Germany Star; Defence and War Medals 1939-45, the Great War Medals all stamped ‘Duplicate’, the Second War Medals later issues, good very fine (6) £140-£180 --- Frederick Brutton Anstruther Cardew was born in September 1897 and was educated at St. Edward’s, Oxford. He was Commissioned Second Lieutenant in the 3rd Battalion, Devonshire Regiment, on 15 August 1914 and served during the Great War on the Western Front from 8 March 1915, latterly attached to the 2nd Battalion, Northumberland Fusiliers. He was promoted Lieutenant on 22 March 1915, and was taken Prisoner of War at the Second Battle of Ypres on 8 May 1915: ‘By 5:30 in the morning on the 8th they bombarded us violently, blowing the trench in all the way along. I was buried four times that morning but managed to get out. By mid-day I had about 7 men left in my platoon (I had started on the 21st April with 44) and the trench was packed with dead and wounded, they had maxims playing on the parapet, or what was left of it, as well as guns. Then half-a-mile to our right I saw the Germans break through and by 5 o’clock they were working round behind us. By 6 p.m. my company on the extreme right next to the Germans had orders to hang on till 8 o’clock and then retire. I knew then we should be wiped out of course as they were far stronger. I was in command of the company, the rest of the officers being killed. They charged about 6:15 p.m. and we held them off for a quarter-of-an-hour fighting to the rear, front and to the right. Then they got on top of us and we had to surrender. We were marched straight to Rouler. I was so tired that I walked along asleep part of the way.’ (letter from the recipient dated 14 May 1915 refers [N.B. not included with lot]). Cardew was interned at Halle and subsequently in six other camps until 23 August 1918, when he was transferred to Holland for repatriation on 23 November 1918. He had the option of being transferred to Holland much earlier in the War, but did not accept, as he wished to effect his escape, which he attempted unsuccessfully on numerous occasions. Disembodied on 1 August 1919, he relinquished his commission with the rank of Lieutenant on 1 April 1920. Cardew re-enlisted as Second Lieutenant in the Royal Engineers on 3 August 1942, and was advanced temporary Captain on 12 April 1943: his Second World War service included a period as a Staff Officer attached to Field Marshal Montgomery’s Headquarters, 1944-45. He retired in October 1946. Sold with the recipient’s Hudson’s, Birmingham whistle, and an envelope, post-marked Alton 9 October 1968, addressed to the recipient from his cousin, Field Marshal the Viscount Montgomery of Alamein, K.G., G.C.B., D.S.O., together with an example of the Field Marshal’s autograph.
