He served first at assistant collector, magistrate, and later as forest settlement officer, at Kandesh. He was one of the younger civilians selected for service in Upper Burma where he was appointed Deputy Commissioner in 1887. For his share in suppressing the dacoity which so long delayed pacification he was awarded the medal and clasp. After his return to his own Presidency as a collector, it fell to him in 1897 to act as chairman of the Poona Plague Committee soon after the assassination of its first chairman, his civilian colleague, Mr Rand. Later, he made an excellent Commissioner of the Central Division, for he had a thorough grasp of the complicated revenue system, and was both assiduous and sympathetic. He also did good wrk in the Secretariat, where he filled various departmental secretaryships, and in the Commissionership of Customs, Salt, &c. He was appointed a member of the Executive Council of the Government of Bombay, for which Lord Sydenham selected him in 1910. He was awarded the Kaisar-I-Hind medal (1st Class-Gold) in 1900, and appointed C.I.E. in 1901; C.S.I. in 1909, and knighted as K.C.S.I. at the Delhi Coronation Durbar in 1911.

A Great War M.C. group of four awarded to Lieutenant-Commander S. H. Fish, Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, Commanding Hood Battalion, 63rd (Royal Naval) Division, who was killed in action in the attack on Loupart Wood on 25 August 1918 Military Cross, G.V.R., unnamed as issued; 1914-15 Star (Ty. Sub. Lieut. S. H. Fish, R.N.V.R.); British War and Victory Medals (Lt. Commr. S. H. Fish. R.N.V.R.) mounted court-style for display, extremely fine (4) £1,000-£1,400 --- M.C. London Gazette 1 January 1918. Sidney Howard Fish was born in 1894, the only son of J. Fish Esq., Superintendent of the Blackburn Philanthropic Assurance Company, and was educated at Ashland High School under Rev. Owen Davies. Matriculating from school, he took up an appointment in the Wigan branch of the Union Bank of Manchester in Ashton-in-Makerfield. On the outbreak of hostilities, he immediately enlisted as an ordinary seaman in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve and on 31 January 1915, after intensive training, was granted a commission as a Temporary Sub-Lieutenant in the newly formed Royal Naval Division where he was appointed to the Hood Battalion. On 28 February 1915, the Division sailed from Avonmouth with young Sidney Fish comfortably berthed aboard the Cunard Liner, S.S. Iverna, en route to Port Said and Lemnos, their ultimate destination, unknown to them, Gallipoli. The morning of 25 April 1915 saw the Anson and Plymouth battalions participate in the six-point attack on Cape Helles. The Division's first Victoria Cross was won by a sub-lieutenant of Anson during the beaching of the famous collier S.S. River Clyde. Further north, the 1st brigade, overshadowed by Australians and New Zealanders, landed at Gaba Tepe, better known as Anzac Cove. By 4 May the entire division including the Hood Battalion was ashore and Sidney Fish was immediately pitched into action in the desperate battle of Krithia on 4 June in which the Royal Naval Division was involved in fierce fighting during the attack on the Turkish defences before Krithia in which the Collingwood Battalion was all but annihilated. Miraculously Lieutenant Fish escaped the carnage unscathed but the casualties incurred throughout the Royal Naval Division were so great that it necessitated the disbanding of the all but annihilated Collingwood and Benbow Battalions, their remaining officers and men being assimilated into the other Battalions of the Division. After the evacuation at the end of December, the 1st and 2nd brigades garrisoned the islands of Lemnos, Imbros and Tenedos, whilst the 3rd brigade saw more active service on the Salonika front. In May 1916, however, the division sailed for France to become part of the B.E.F. and was renamed the 63rd (R.N.) Division, being brought up to strength by the addition of the 190th or Army Brigade. This consisted of the 1st H.A.C., 4th Bedfords, 7th Royal Fusiliers and the 10th Royal Dublin Fusiliers. Sidney Fish, recently promoted to Lieutenant joined his comrades in this entirely new theatre of war. At the end of September 1916, after a period of acclimatisation in a 'quiet sector' of the Western Front, the Division moved south to take part in the Somme offensive. At 5.45 a.m. on 13 November both Royal Naval brigades scrambled form their jumping-off bays and, in spite of heavy casualties, stormed three lines of German trenches. They were relieved two days later, having taken more prisoners and advanced further than any other division. In the fierce fighting to capture the German positions, Sidney Fish, like many of his comrades, was severely wounded and invalided back to England to recover from his wounds. Whilst on leave in England recovering from his wounds, he married, in January 1917, Miss Sylvia Hilton, youngest daughter of James Hilton, a mining engineer. In April 1917, the division entrained for the Arras area in preparation for yet another offensive. On St. George's Day, 1917, at first light, as the barrage lifted, the British armies attacked on a nine-mile front. The Royal Naval Division, despite stiff resistance, took all their objectives - one Anson platoon continued to hold theirs against thirteen separate counter-attacks. Later that year, the division was switched to the north and on 26th October, in the ghastly Passchendaele offensive, the 1st and 2nd Royal Marines, Howe and Anson battalions attached, struggling forward sometimes waist deep in mud, against withering machine gun and rifle fire. At the end of 1917 the 63rd Royal Naval Division held the infamous Flesquières Salient, which pushed out into the enemy lines and was always subjected to marked attention from German artillery, machine guns and snipers. Just before Christmas, in an action lasting 30 hours, determined attacks on Welsh Ridge (one of the features of the salient) cost the division 65 officers and 1,355 men, killed, wounded and missing. It was during this bitter fighting that Sidney Fish's leadership and gallantry were brought to notice in the course of one such particularly violent attack by the enemy. When his Battalion Commander and a number of officers were wounded during the early stages of the attack, command of the Battalion devolved on young Sidney Fish who by his outstanding leadership, managed to successfully fight off the German assault, whilst at the same time inflicting heavy casualties on the attackers. For his steadfastness on this occasion he was recommended for award of the Distinguished Service Order but this was downgraded to that of the award of the Military Cross which was gazetted on 1 January 1918. Promotion quickly followed and young twenty-three year old found himself advanced to the position of second-in-command of his Battalion as Temporary Lieutenant-Commander. Taking up his new appointment, he was soon called into action. Three months later, in the great German Spring offensive of March 1918, the division continued to hold the Flesquières Salient whilst units on their flanks were overrun or destroyed. Finally, at 7 a.m. on Sunday 24 March, as the British Fifth Army continued to retreat, the six battalion commanders of the division, in the absence of any contact with higher command, ordered a withdrawal to avoid capture or certain annihilation. After quickly exhausting all its remaining reserves of men and material in this final effort, the German offensive finally petered out; the advance was held and on 8 August 1918, the British counter-offensive commenced. During the German retreat, the Royal Naval Division were ordered to advance on the Grevillers-Loupart Wood section of the front, with the Hood Battalion as part of the 189th Brigade of the Royal Naval Division, immediately north-west of Loupart Wood. Just prior to the proposed attack of 24 August, Commander Egerton of the Hood Battalion, succeeded temporarily to the command of the 189th Brigade, leaving the twenty-three year old Lieutenant-Commander Sydney Fish to take over command of the Hood. On the morning of 25 August, a heavy mist delayed the impending attack of the 189th and 190th Brigades. In the thick mist, the 188th Brigade made good progress but the 189th Brigade on the right of the attack came up against a heavily defended enemy trench system facing the south-west corner of Loupart Wood. This was to be the scene of vigourous resistance, entailing grievous losses to the Hawke and particularly the Hood Battalion. Here fell the two Battalion Commanders, Commander Jones of the Hawke and Lieutenant-Commander Fish of the Hood, both survivors of many more desperate encounters. Taking cover in the numerous shell holes the Hood Battalion set to work with their Lewis Guns to master the enemy's fire. At about noon the German resistance broke and Sidney Fish urged his men forward to secure the German machine-gun lined trenches. Th...

ATTRIBUTED TO GEORGE JACK, FOR MORRIS & CO., A MAHOGANY OCCASIONAL TABLE CIRCA 1890 The underside stamped Morris & C0 / 449 Oxford STW / 530 and a paper label with ink inscription 'WILLIAM MORRIS/ used to work at his designs /for the KELMSCOT CHAUCER/ in the studio at The Grange/ on Sunday Mornings/ while my father Edward Burne-Jones/ worked at his drawings for the/ same book. Morris used this table' and further label with ink inscription 'This Table/ left/ to/ CLARE' 65cm high, 61cm wide, 61cm deep  Provenance:According to paper label the table belonged to Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones (1833-1898) and was used at The Grange, Fulham; By descent to his daughter Mrs J W Mackail (nee Margaret Burne-Jones) (1866-1953); By descent to her daughter Clare Mackail (1896-1975); Thence by family descent.  This occasional table was almost certainly a popular model, designed by George Jack (1855-1931), and supplied by Morris & Co., Oxford Street, London, in the late 19th century. An identical table sold Christie's, London, 13 May 2014, lot 162. George Washington Jack, architect, furniture-designer and wood carver, was chief furniture designer for Morris & Co. from 1890 onwards. Jack was born to Scottish and Irish parents in Long Island, New York in 1855 but on his father's death in 1860 the family returned to Glasgow. Jack was articled to a number of architectural practices in Scotland and London before joining Philip Webb's firm as a draughtsman and site architect in 1882. Webb introduced Jack to William Morris and from 1885 Jack began to work for Morris & Co. as chief designer while simultaneously working for Webb. This table in Jack's preferred 18th century revival style probably dates from c. 1890 suggested by its relationship to another similar walnut table now in St. Louis Museum of Art (189:1990). Jack was elected a member of the Art Workers Guild in 1906, and exhibited at the Arts & Crafts Exhibition Society. Another table designed by Jack and exhibited as per above was described as: 'a table [with piecrust top] six carved legs, executed by Sidwell and Thatcher, carving by H. Dodd, exh. Morris & Co. (cat. no. 415). In the Morris & Co. catalogue of this year it featured as No. 376, priced at 8 guineas, and a plain version No. 370 was available in oak or mahogany for £4 10 0' ().

His rural upbringing and deep love for nature profoundly influenced his later work. Initially, Baillie Scott pursued agricultural studies at Cirencester Agricultural College, but soon shifted his focus to architecture. In 1893, Baillie Scott moved to the Isle of Man, where he lived for several formative years. This period was crucial in shaping his architectural and design philosophy. While on the island, Baillie Scott established his architectural practice and began to gain recognition for his innovative designs. The Isle of Man, with its rugged landscapes and natural beauty, further deepened his connection to nature, a recurring theme in his work. It was during this time that he began to publish his ideas on domestic architecture, advocating for homes that were both functional and aesthetically in harmony with their surroundings. His designs from this period often incorporated local materials and reflected the Arts and Crafts ethos of simplicity and craftsmanship. His work on the Isle of Man helped establish his reputation.Baillie Scott began his professional relationship with John P. White, head of the Pyghtle Works in Bedford, in 1898. White’s workshop was known for producing high-quality Arts and Crafts furniture, and Baillie Scott’s designs were perfectly suited to this ethos. The two men formed a close friendship, and in 1901, Baillie Scott moved with his family to Bedford, where White's workshop was located. This collaboration marked one of the most fruitful periods of Baillie Scott’s career.The present lot, crafted in John White’s workshop, is a prime example of Baillie Scott’s furniture design from this era, around the time he was completing his architectural masterpiece, Blackwell, a country house near Windermere. Completed in 1900, Blackwell remains one of the finest examples of Arts and Crafts architecture, and the present furniture piece echoes the same focus on craftsmanship, nature-inspired motifs, and functionality.

SIR BASIL SPENCE (1907-1976) FOR H. MORRIS & CO. TWO 'ALLEGRO' ARMCHAIRS, DESIGNED 1947-1948 laminated wood, maker's label MORRIS MADE / GUARANTEED TRADE MARK / GLASGOW (2) 85cm high, 52cm wide, 50cm deep  Literature: Studio Yearbook of Decorative Art, 1949, p. VIII (advertised);Austerity to Affluence: British Art & Design 1945-1962, The Fine Art Society, London, 1997, p. 14 and p. 22, cat. no. F27;Long P. and Thomas J. (ed.), Basil Spence, Architect National Galleries of Scotland in Association with RCAHMS, Edinburgh 2008, p. 52 and p. 54, fig 55, illustrated. Note: In 1947 Neil Morris of manufacturers Morris of Glasgow asked Spence to collaborate on a range of plywood furniture he was working on, which was to include his Bambi chair and celebrated Cloud table. The result was the 'Allegro' dining suite, which was awarded a diploma by the Council of Industrial Design in January 1949. In March of the same year it was exhibited at the Glasgow Today and Tomorrow, where it was commended, and an example of the armchair was commissioned by the Museum of Modern Art, New York for their collection. In September 1949 it was displayed at the Morris stand, also designed by Spence, at the Scottish Industries Exhibition. In 1951 another single armchair was commissioned for the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum in London (V&A; CIRC.183-1951).The manufacture of the Allegro suite found its origins in wartime innovation. The Southampton-based manufacturer of helicopters, Cierva Autogiro, had developed techniques of laminating and shaping wood to make strong and light helicopter blades - these blades were supplied by Morris of Glasgow by 1946, and the same technology was applied to this remarkable suite of furniture soon afterwards. Over one hundred layers of wood were bonded together under high frequency electrical pressure with phenoformaldehyde, a synthetic resin. The wood is then shaped and carved to produce the chairs (and the matching table and sideboard). Whilst it is now acknowledged as a landmark in immediate Post-War British furniture design, the immense expense of this manufacturing process meant that this furniture went into extremely limited production, and as a result examples are extremely rare. In 1950 a single chair was advertised at £31 18s 3d, at a time when the average British annual income was just £101.

Charles Frederick Tunnicliffe R.A., R.E., A.R.C.A., O.B.E. (British 1901-1978) Printer's souvenir album of Tunnicliffe's illustrated calendar for Wadkin Ltd of Leicester, 1947 Folio (38.5 x 26cm), black thick-paper wrappers, string-bound, manuscript title-label to front wrapper, contents all mounted or tipped to black thick-paper leaves and comprising: 4 colour scraperboard prints (making up the complete calendar, with 3 months to a leaf), each signed by Tunnicliffe; 10 autograph letters and 1 typed letter signed by Tunnicliffe, all to the printers and concerning the production of the calendar; the leaves for July-September and October-December each in 6 successive states; calligraphic manuscript introduction and captions including the signature of the compiler, one Charles Bramley of Humberstone, Leicester.Together with 2 similar Wadkin Ltd souvenir albums of illustrated calendars, respectively by Rowland Hilder R.I., O.B.E. (1905-1993) for 1948, and Leonard R. Squirrell R.W.S., R.E. (1893-1979) for 1949, the Hilder album in 2 volumes and containing 3 autograph letters from Hilder, proof plates, and similar, the Squirrell album containing some 10 autograph letters signed from Squirrell, proof plates, and similar, a few items in both the Hilder and Squirrell albums now loose Wadkin Ltd were a firm of woodworking machinery engineers established in Leicester in 1897 and operating as an independent business until their absorption by Nottingham firm A. L. Dalton in 2010. The three calendars commemorated by these albums appear to have been conceived in part to showcase the firm's reprographic technology, the introduction to the Tunnicliffe album explaining that: ‘This attractive production forms an example of the satisfying result which can be obtained when a discriminating man of business commissions at artist of repute to help him. Having agreed to break away from photographic reproductions it was decided by Mr J. Holland Goddard, the governing director of the firm, after discussion with Mr H. Beeston, publicity manager, to commission an artist of front rank to make four drawings of subjects which would bear some reference to “wood”: wood denotes the countryside so the choice of Mr C. F. Tunnicliffe was inevitable as the wide range of his accomplishment in that sphere was acknowledged’.

Gregynog Press Substantial collection of letters to William McCance, controller of the press, 1930-3 including numerous draft responses by McCance, and various associated documents, approx. 200 separate items in total, typed and manuscript, most on stationery with the author's corporate or personal letterhead, pencilled catalogue numbers to upper left corners throughout, a few items annotated or with sketched letterforms by McCance. Authors include:Blair Hughes-Stanton (1902-1981), artist and wood-engraver at the Gregynog Press. 10 letters of which 1 to 'Naomi' (probably Naomi Mitchison) the rest to McCance, on various events and disagreements at the press, including remarks about other figures in the private press movement, the letters long and slightly rambling, with little punctuation, most written in pencil, some retaining original stamped envelope, e.g. 'They [the Gregynog board of directors] are furious with you … for having consulted experts or anyone without their consent in other words they dislike being shown up as fools … They all rave about [Eric Gill's] Four Gospels down here. I think its a pigs breakfast … DJ [Dora Jones?] again said at the board meeting how he objected to the Kessler Hamlet fussy he called it “but of course thats just a personall [sic] opinion”. I dont think hes taken the trouble to study it for more than 10 minutes no they all think they are safe with Gill and the Gospels and think it so cheap at 8 guineas';Stanley Morison (1888-1967), typographer. 28 letters, all on Monotype Corporation stationery, in a warm and jocular tone, filled with polysyllabic humour and containing discussion of business matters (e.g. preparation of typefaces for the press, Gill italic and Perpetua italic, etc.) interspersed with constructive criticism and advice regarding Gregynog presswork, lyrical disquisitions on the craft and philosophy of printing, ironic anti-Welsh sentiment ('I think that you and I, as non-Cambrians, may learn something from the incident'), etc. Together with 4 draft letters from McCance to Morison;R. A. Maynard, McCance's predecessor as controller of the Gregynog Press. 5 letters, arranging the hand-over, to McCance, praising McCance's productions at Gregynog (on Esope, ‘Did you, I wonder, manage the engravings without damping on that very soft sized paper. A technical detail this, but I’m interested'; and Comus, ‘a stunning book’), commiserating over disagreements with the directors of the press (‘I was sorry to hear of the contretemps over your Esope colophon. Twas inevitable! You'll get tons of it, as I did … Don't make it a life or death business - as I did. A grave mistake - the Welsh only understand talkie talkie: work doesn't count'; ‘What you say of Wales and Welsh would be illuminating did I not know the blighters so well. In my day the chief sauce [sic] of unpleasant and unexpected surprises was T. W. H. but I can see that the good work is being carried on by others. I can give you no comfort: you will never eliminate the background to your labours’);Major W. J. Burdon Evans, director of the Gregynog Press. 48 letters, concerning McCance's appointment, contractual, administrative and financial matters, press matters including leather samples and the disappointment of Miss Davies with McCance's designs for an edition of Benedicite by Ralph Vaughan Williams, McCance's resignation, etc., the letters ranging from business-like to peremptory in tone. Together with 13 draft letters from McCance to Evans, concerning the day-to-day running of the press, with strong disagreements evident: 'We have again gone into the matter [of changing from quarterly to monthly salaries] and perhaps it is that we are not so much off the rails as running on different lines, you on the Cambrian Railway we on the L.M.S.'; ‘My position, ill defined at the beginning, has become more more one of responsibility without adequate control' (issues raised including unauthorised access to the press's office safe); ‘I submit, however, that the design was both original and distinctive, being well proportioned and effectively adapted to its purpose’ (a response to criticism of his design for Benedicite); ‘I do not wish to belittle the function of the bindery but I should like to point out that its importance is secondary to the actual printing …' (a lengthy draft letter recapitulating disagreements with the Directors esp. focus of attention and resources on the bindery); a discussion of Blair Hughes Stanton's work on an edition of White's Selborne; the appointment of McCance's successor.Dora E. Yates (1879-1974), Romani scholar. 11 letters, concerning the production and design of Gregynog's XXI Welsh Gypsy Folk Tales (1931), Yates contributing the foreword;Thomas Jones (1870-1955), director of the Gregynog Press. 11 letters on various press matters (e.g. 'I was looking at the Esope, Singing Caravan and Erewhon leathers yesterday. Together they have an accumulatively depressing appearance to me');Dora Herbert Jones (1890-1974), secretary of the Gregynog Press, 3 letters, on press matters including a request for a selection of engravings by Agnes Miller Parker for exhibition during a visit to Gregynog by George Bernard Shaw.And from others including Gwendoline E. Davies (1882-1951), co-founder director of the Gregynog Press, 4 letters; J. Barcham Green, paper maker, 2 letters (with a draft letter from McCance to Barcham); Francis Meynell, director of the Nonesuch Press, 4 letters (with a draft letter from McCance to Meynell), J. G. Wilson (1876-1963) managing director of booksellers John & Edward Bumpus Ltd, 6 letters; Hugh Blaker (1873-1936), artist and connoisseur; and more.The associated documents including: 2 carbon copies of a report on the work of press by W. J. Burdon Evans (each 6 ff., foolscap leaves, rectos only, headings comprising ‘Work in hand’, ‘Work in Prospect’, ‘Policy’, ‘Welsh Books’, ‘Costings’ and ‘Generally’, remarks include ‘Eric Gill is not satisfied but the Monotype people hope to supply in November’);  4 copies of William McCance's employment contract (one typed, the rest carbons); a manuscript booklet largely in an unidentified hand, 11 pp., include draft schedule for work at the press, ‘Plan of development through apprentices’, ‘Structural alterations’ including a workshop diagram notes on typefaces in stock, etc., approx. 10 ff. further notes. Mrs Margaret McCance, second wife of William McCance. A voluminous archive shedding light on the personalities and day-to-day functioning of one of the great private presses during its interwar heyday, providing an in-depth and often richly comic insight into the harried tenure of William McCance as controller of the press, with informative business correspondence interspersed with philosophical reflections, indiscreet gossip, and splenetic rants from several correspondents, some of whom might on present evidence be justifiably described as unsung belle-lettrists. William McCance (1890-1974) was a Scottish artist notable as an exponent of the Vorticist style developed by Wyndham Lewis. Succeeding R. A. Maynard in 1930 and remaining in post until 1933, assisted by his his wife, the wood-engraver Agnes Miller Parker, he appears to have quickly found himself out of sympathy with the directors of the press and resentful of their excessive interference.

His grandfather Thomas Wilkinson (1752-1825) purchased the large manor house in 1806. Thomas Wilkinson's son Rev. Percival Spearman Wilkinson (1792-1875), the father of Henry, owned the manor house from 1825 to 1875. The family had several servants including a governess. The children were well educated, attending prestigious English universities. Henry's oldest brother, also named Percival Spearman Wilkinson owned the property until his death 1898. Henry Clement Wilkinson spent his working years with the British military. As a youth he attended Sandhurst Royal Military College as a gentleman cadet. To best illustrate his illustrious military career the following article is quoted from 'The Army and Navy Gazette' of Nov 28, 1908: "Lieut.-Gen. Sir Henry Clement Wilkinson, retired, Colonel of the 4th dragoon Guards, died on the 23rd inst. at Kenora, Ontario, Canada, after a weeks illness, aged 71. He was the son of the late Rev. P. S. Wilkinson, of Mount Oswald, County Durham, and obtaining his commission in the army was posted to the 95th Regiment as Ensign Feb. 15, 1856. He served with that regiment during the Indian Mutiny 1857-59, and was present at the assault and capture of Rooyah, the siege of Rowa and Kotah, the battle of Kotah-Ke-Serai, the assault of Gwalior, the siege of Powrie, the battle of Beejapore and the action of Koondrye (medal with clasp). On Aug 5, 1859, he went as Lieutenant to the 17th Regiment, and on March 30 the following year exchanged to the 16th Light Dragoons, subsequently the 16th Lancers, with which he spent the remainder of his regimental service. He was promoted to Captain Sept 22, 1863, Major July 30, 1870, Lieutenant-Colonel July 3, 1872, and Brevet Colonel July 3, 1877, being placed on half-pay July 21, 1877. Wilkinson was only three months on half-pay, as on Oct 13 he became Inspecting Officer of Auxiliary Cavalry, Great Britain, a post he held until March 19, 1880, a week later (March 27) he being appointed Military Secretary to the Commander-in-Chief, East Indies. He left the secretaryship Aug 6, 1880 to command the Cavalry Brigade in the Afghan Campaign in the force under Major-General Phayre and marched from Quetta to the relief of Kandahar (mentioned in dispatch, medal with clasp). At the close of the campaign he was appointed Brigadier-General, Cavalry Brigade, Quetta District, he holding that command from May 23 to Oct 23, 1881. Then Oct to Dec he was in command of a force which operated against the Bozdars (thanked by the Commander- in Chief in India and by the Governor General in Council). On Jan 30 of the following year he was appointed Brigadier-General, Bengal, and took command of the Sialkot Brigade. In August he was selected to take to Egypt the cavalry brigade of the Indian contingent to join Sir Garnet Wolseley's force. He took part in the operations at Kassassin, the reconnaissance before and the battle of Tel-Et-Kebir, the subsequent pursuit and the occupation of Cairo (twice mentioned in dispatches, medal with clasp, bronze star, C. B., 2nd Class of the Medjidich). Returning to India in Oct, he continued to act as Brigadier-General, Bengal, until Jan 30, 1887, when he completed his 5 years, he commanding successively the Saugor and Presidency Districts and the Meerut, Rawal Pindi, and Allahabad Divisions. Promoted to Major General Mar 9, 1887, his next and last appointment was as Major-General, North-Eastern District, which he held from April 1, 1891 to Sept 30, 1894., having while at last post been granted a Distinguished Service Reward April 1, 1892 and promoted to Lieutenant-General May 26, 1894. General Wilkinson was appointed to the Coloneley of the 4th Dragoon Guard Oct 4th, 1896 and retired Oct 1, 1899. He was awarded the K. C. B. June 22, 1897." Wear consistent with age.

The care lavished on the project was enormous: Sander had twenty orchid collectors working simultaneously in Brazil, Columbia, Peru, Ecuador, Mexico, Madagascar, New Guinea, Burma and Malaya; and the blocks for the plates were hand-made from wood, with as many as twenty inks used in the production of the chromolithographs. The overall cost to Sander was said to have been well over £7,000; he often remarked in later years that the project nearly ruined him.
