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' ().

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.

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.

Only 7 Albert Medals awarded to Royal Navy officers prior to the Great War. Halton Stirling Lecky was Sub-Lieutenant of Thrush and Widgeon during the Boer War, and served on both vessels on the Delagoa Bay Blockade. He was awarded the Albert Medal (2nd class) on 28 June 1901; the silver medal of the Royal Humane Society on 15 July 1901; and Lloyds Silver Medal on 10 August 1901, all awarded for his bravery as described in the following extract from the London Gazette: ‘On August 25th, 1900, H.M.S. Widgeon was anchored in Kosi Bay, fifty miles south of Delagoa Bay, in order to land stores and troops. The work of disembarkation was carried out by four boats manned by Malays under the superintendence of Sub Lieutenant Lecky, who had been sent onshore for the purpose. Heavy breakers in lines of three to five, according to the tide rolling in about fifty yards apart, made the work very risky. One boat loaded with stores and with Second Lieutenant Arnold Gray, Thorneycroft's Mounted Infantry, Trooper Frederick Trethowen, Steinacker's Horse, and Private J. H. Forbes, Thorneycroft's Mounted Infantry, on board, capsized about three hundred yards from the shore. The five Malays forming the boat's crew, and Private Forbes by dint of hard swimming, with the assistance of the boat's oars, managed to reach the land after severe buffeting from the heavy seas. Lieutenant Gray was unable to swim, but with Trooper Trethowen, clung to the boat, which drifted slowly keel upwards in a northerly direction almost parallel with the shore, carried by the set of a strong current. Huge breakers continually swept over the boat, and the men had great difficulty in retaining their hold. Sharks were observed near the boat before and after the accident. The boat was now about one hundred and fifty yards from the shore. Sub Lieutenant Lecky, seeing the critical position the two men were in, tore off his clothes and, plunging into the surf, endeavoured to swim to their assistance. He was twice thrown back on the beach by the heavy seas, but afterwards succeeded in bringing first Lieutenant Gray and then the other safe to shore. The rescued men were quite unconscious, having been nearly thirty minutes in the water. Sub Lieutenant Lecky and his servant, Private Borting, R.M.L.I. then applied the usual methods for restoring animation, and both men eventually recovered consciousness - Lieutenant Gray after a lapse of two and a half hours.’ Lecky was subsequently Sub Lieutenant of Doris (medal and clasp); was in command of torpedo-boat No. 29 on the occasion of the burial at sea, by her own request, of Miss Mary Kingsley. He was responsible for the organisation of the Shetland Islands for war, 1913-14; Minesweeping on the East Coast, 1914. Lecky created the Auxiliary Patrol Service of 3000 vessels and necessary personnel against enemy submarines, 1914-16 (awarded C.B.); Naval Assistant to the Fourth Sea Lord, 1915-16; commanded the light cruisers Southampton and Birmingham in the North Sea, 1916-17; Assistant to Naval Secretary to First Lord of the Admiralty, 1917-18; engaged on miscellaneous service in the Aegean blockade of the Dardanelles, occupation of Constantinople etc., 1918; mentioned in despatches and awarded the Order of the Redeemer (Greece) and Legion of Honour (France) for duties in connection with the war operations of these navies in the Aegean. In 1919 he organised the Mine Clearance Service and received the high appreciation of the Board of Admiralty; Commanded the R.N. Detention Barracks at Chatham, 1920-24, and was placed on the retired list with the rank of Captain in 1925. Captain Lecky died on 2 June 1940, aged 71 years. Lecky was author of the well known work 'The Kings Ships' , 3 volumes 1913 and 1914, the final 3 volumes of which were suspended and never published owing to the outbreak of the War. The group is also accompanied by a 'pencilled' portrait photograph of Captain Lecky and original Royal Humane Society parchment certificate, this a little damaged by damp.

Confirmed on the roll as Able Seaman aboard H.M.S. Bellerophon at Trafalgar. Hugh Entwisle was the second son of John Entwisle, of Foxholes, Rochdale, Lancashire. He entered the Navy on 7 May 1799, as First-class Volunteer, on board the Amethyst on the home station. While in that frigate, besides being much employed in the conveyance of royal and diplomatic personages, he assisted, as Midshipman, at the capture of three privateers, carrying 34 guns and 270 men, and witnessed the surrender on 27 January 1801, of the French 36-gun frigate La Dédaigneuse, and on 9 April the national corvette Le Général Brune of 14 guns. In September 1805, he joined the Bellerophon, borne as an A.B., and participated at the battle of Trafalgar as a Volunteer. Bellerophon formed one of the lee division under Collingwood and bore a distinguished part in the great victory of Trafalgar, when her captain, the gallant John Cooke, was killed almost at the same time and in the same way that Lord Nelson met his death. Entwisle, at the close of the action, was sent with Lieutenant Douglas to take possession of the Bahama, a Spanish 74. It is interesting to note that he was related both to Captain Cooke, and to Mr J. E. Markland, who also served as a Volunteer on Bellerophon during the battle. He was promoted Lieutenant in 1806 and, in the Paulina, took part in the expedition to Copenhagen, 1807. In the Bucephalus, commanded by Captain G. W. H. D’Ath who had also served at Trafalgar on Bellerophon, he took part in the operations against New Orleans in 1814. He retired as Commander in 1839, becoming a D.L. and J.P. for county Glamorgan, and died on 23 December 1867, and is buried in the churchyard at Llanbletghian, South Glamorgan.
