* DOUGLAS PHILLIPS (SCOTTISH 1926 - 2012), CAMPO DELLA MADDALENA, VENICE oil on board, signed, titled versoframed and under glassimage size 25cm x 25cm, overall size 46cm x 46cm Note: Douglas Phillips was born and brought up in Dundee. He studied at the former Dundee Art College in Bell Street before being called up to the army towards the end of the Second World War for service in India and Ceylon. On returning to Dundee he began work in the art department of DC Thomson where he illustrated for The Rover and The Victor, amongst others. After leaving D C Thomson’s went on to illustrate over 100 books but also continued to maintain a connection with the company, featuring in more than one thousand issues of The People’s Friend as the pen and brush of J Campbell Kerr. He also documented old Dundee with his lively pen and ink drawings and book collaborations with the late journalist, broadcaster and Courier columnist Ron Thompson. Latterly he followed in the footsteps of two artists he greatly admired, Joan Eardley and his good friend Lil Neilson, producing vibrant, expressive paintings of Catterline and the East Coast of Scotland which he loved so much. His work is held in public and private collections worldwide.

* JAMES WATT RGI (SCOTTISH 1931 - 2022), SHIP AT THE DOCK oil on canvas, signedframedimage size 56cm x 92cm, overall size 68cm x 102cm Note: James Watt was born in Port Glasgow in 1931 to Alexander Watt and his wife Isabella (nee Hooper). His entire family, including his grandfather, and everybody he knew, were in shipbuilding. He was always passionate about boats. He believed he was very lucky. "I was in the right place at the right time. I caught the tail-end of the Clydeside shipbuilding boom in the 1950s. Shipyards had full order-books and the river teemed with craft of every sort. So I always had a subject”. His paintings are in a formidable array of collections – including those of HM The Queen and Prince Philip, The Princess Royal, The Arts Council, The Hunterian, Glasgow Museums, Paisley Museum & Art Gallery, IBM, Britoil, the Danish Embassy, Yarrow Shipbuilders, McKean Museum and Art Gallery, Clyde Shipping Co, the Royal Bank of Scotland and also the town council in the Faroes. Watt went to Glasgow School of Art for four years where he was taught by Ted Odling, Douglas Percy Bliss, and David Donaldson. In 1958 he was one of 13 founders of the Glasgow Group, an artists' co-operative which continues to this day. Irritated by the conformist, unadventurous policies of local exhibiting societies like the Royal Scottish Academy and the RGI, and at the dearth of commercial outlets in the city, they got together with other GSA students and graduates to exhibit at Glasgow’s then-beautiful McLellan Galleries. The Glasgow Group was the Transmission Gallery of its day. After two years National Service in the army, from 1955 to 1957 he became an art teacher, and a much-beloved one at that. He was noted for his kindness and good counsel, and one former student says of him: "I had pretty much zero talent but he sparked a lifelong love and interest in art." Another remembered “His was the fastest-moving Volvo down the school drive. He was some man." Later Watt became a member of the RGI and was elected a member of Society of Scottish Artists in 1965. In 1997 he received The Royal Bank of Scotland Award at the Glasgow Institute. He dedicated much of his life to recording the River Clyde and its industries, and his vast body of work forms a vital archive of the river. Greenock's McLean Museum and Art Gallery exhibition, The Lost Clyde: The Paintings of James Watt, was mounted to celebrate his 90th birthday. James was also the father of Alison Watt OBE FRSE RSA, one of Britain's best-known painters.

Signed by Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) 'Official French State War Record signed by Napoleon as First Consul of the French Republic in June, 1803,' 42cms x 31cms (16" x 12"), overall with frame 53cms x 41cms (21" x 16"), vellum document. Signed by Napoleon as First Consul of the Republic with Marshall Louis Bertheir as Minister of War and Maret as Secretary of State. Signed & dated 16th June 1803 at Saint Cloud. An important official war record relating to a Major Nourry in an artillery regiment; signed by Napoleon just one year before he became Emperor in 1804. As with most vellum document of this age, there are some damp stains to the outer edges. This in no way detracts from the fantastic overall image. Napoleon himself, was the commander-in-chief of the Artillery Regiments of the French Grande Army in 1794 and would have known this officer personally as it states on this war record that he fought in 1793 in a campaign against the British with the rank of Major. This was certainly the Siege of Tulon against Admiral Alexander Hood, where Napoleon himself had fought first came to prominence and was commended to the Convention. As a result Napoleon was made Brigadier-General. A most important piece of original Napoleonic material which would make a wonderful addition to any collection. Framed and glazed. (1)
