Moray Floods Medal 1829, 41mm, silver, the obverse featuring a view of the Bridge over the Spey at Fochabers, partially destroyed by the river in a raging flood, the reverse inscribed in raised lettering (name of recipient and service impressed), ‘Presented by the Central Committee for the Flood Fund to Robert Mackay Floods as an Honorary Reward for his Courage and Humanity shewn at the Great Flood August 4th 1829’, planchet only, edge bruising, very fine £400-£500 --- Importation Duty This lot is subject to importation duty of 5% on the hammer price unless exported outside the UK --- --- After torrential rain over Northeast Scotland on the night of 3-4 August 1829 there was widespread flooding, with many rivers overflowing their banks and several bridges being swept away. Buildings and crops were destroyed, animals were drowned, and communities were cut off. The loss of human life was mercifully small and can in part be ascribed to the aid given by local fishermen and others who went out in small boats to aid those in peril. In the aftermath, a medal was struck by the Central Committee for the Flood Fund to be awarded to those who had gallantly provided their services. See ‘The Moray Floods Medal’ by A. J. Henderson, L.S.A.R.S. Journal 8, p.3 - 7.

Pair: Private G. Robertson, 4th South African Infantry, who suffered gas poisoning at Delville Wood, Somme, on 20 July 1916, and was wounded and taken Prisoner of War at the famous last stand at Marriéres Wood on 24 March 1918 British War and Bilingual Victory Medals (Pte G. Robertson. 4th S.A.I.) mounted for display, edge bruising, otherwise good very fine (2) £200-£240 --- George Robertson was born in Wandsworth, London, with his next of kin being listed as his sister - residing at Jeppestown, Johannesburg, South Africa. Robertson enlisted for the 4th South African Infantry at Potchefstroom in August 1915, and embarked for the UK on 29 September 1915. He served in the French theatre of War from 21 April 1916, and suffered gas poisoning whilst serving with ‘E’ Company at Delville Wood, Somme, on 20 July 1916. After recuperation in the UK, Robertson returned to France on 13 July 1917, and was wounded in action and taken Prisoner of War at Marriéres Wood on 24 March 1918. Possibly the most impressive feat of arms by the South African forces in the War took place in March 1918, when the Germans attacked in Operation Michael. The brigade fought a staunch defence on the first morning of the attack - 21 March 1918 - at Gauche Wood, near Villers Guislain. By 24 March they had carried out a fighting withdrawal to Marriéres Wood near Bouchavesnes and there held on, completely unsupported. They fought on until only some 100 men were left, yet it was only when ammunition ran out that the remainder, many of whom were wounded, surrendered. The following additional details are provided in an article entitled ‘Marriéres Wood 24 March 1918,’ by Andre Crozier, which was published in Military History Journal Vol 18 No 2 - June 2018, of The South African Military History Society: The German Spring Offensive ‘On 21 March 1918 General Ludendorff launched his massive Spring Offensive, Operation Michael, against the British 3rd and 5th Armies in a desperate attempt to win the war before the Americans arrived in force. The South African 1st Infantry Brigade, which formed part of the Scottish 9th Division and of the British 5th Army, held the line at Gauche Wood on the boundary between the 3rd and 5th British Armies. Aided by mist and complete surprise, the offensive started with a tremendous artillery barrage firing gas shells into the rear areas to disrupt the artillery and supply lines. Sixty-five divisions attacked over a 100 km front. The South Africans held on at Gauche Wood but had to withdraw in the afternoon as the division on their southern flank had been pushed back. Everywhere the front was collapsing, with 21 000 British soldiers being taken prisoner on the first day. It looked like Ludendorff had won the war. The South Africans conducted a fighting retreat over three days under the most difficult circumstances, as the units to their flanks kept falling back. Eventually they were ordered to hold 'at all costs' a line at the village of Bouchvesnes on the strategic Peronne - Bapaume road. The brave stand at Marriéres Wood Major-General Dawson was in command, and he conveyed the orders to the South African Brigade, by then reduced to only 500 men. There would be no further retreat. They would stand and fight to the last. Dawson decided to defend a line to the north-west of Marriéres Wood astride a minor road leading from Bouchvesnes to Combles and utilising some old trenches. The battle started at 09.00 on Sunday, 24 March 1918. The South Africans had no artillery support nor support on either flank and were soon surrounded. They were pounded all day by artillery fire and their position was swept with machine gun fire. Their ammunition was rationed and yet they managed to beat off repeated attacks. Eventually, at 16.00, surrounded, with no ammunition and with only about 100 men left, General Dawson decided to surrender. Some men tried to flee, but they were mowed down as the ground to the west was open with no cover.’ Robertson was repatriated from Germany on 26 December 1918. He returned to South Africa in in December the following year, and was discharged in January 1920. Sold with copied service papers.

Three: Captain H. C. Colyer, Royal Army Medical Corps, who served on the Western Front from 6 November 1914, having been specially selected as one of the first six dental surgeons to serve during the Great War in a professional capacity 1914 Star (Lieut: H. C. Colyer. R.A.M.C.); British War and Victory Medals (Capt. H. C. Colyer) extremely fine (3) £360-£440 --- Horace Charles Colyer, a Dentist from Guildford, Surrey, was born in Ryde, Isle of Wight, in 1884. He was commissioned into the Royal Army Medical Corps on 1 November 1914 for service during the Great War, serving on the Western Front from 6 November 1914. Ten days later the British Dental Journal reported that ‘six dental practitioners have been specially appointed to the Royal Army Medical Corps, and have gone to France as dentists, with the rank of temporary Lieutenants to the regular forces. Thus, should future developments justify it, the nucleus of a special Dental Corps is already in being.’ The six chosen were Claude Gray Colyer, LDS RDC Eng (1910), his brother Horace Charles Colyer, LDS RDS Eng (1905), Stanley Alfred Riddett, LDS RCS Eng (1908), Charles Weller, LDS RCS Eng (1905), Frederick William Broderick, LDS RCS Eng (1912) and George Gilbert Timpson, LDS RCS Eng (1905). In 1917 the recipient was wounded as a consequence of gas and is afterwards noted as having transferred to medical duties with the Royal Flying Corps. Post war, the extent of his injuries from gas affected his eyesight to the point that he realised that he could no longer work in general practice. Accordingly his career changed direction with him afterwards working as a Dental Radiologist. Early in the Second War, his home and business in Croydon was destroyed by a landmine during the Blitz, but he thankfully escaped unscathed. He died in Croydon, aged 63, on 26 March 1947. Sold with copied Medal Index Card, copied London Gazette commission entry, copied obituary for the recipient published in the British Medical Journal on 3 May 1947 and copied article ‘The first dentists sent to the Western Front during the First World War, by Fiona Gray, published in the British Dental Journal on 9 June 2017.

O.B.E. London Gazette 1 January 1946. M.B.E. London Gazette 17 July 1919: ‘For valuable services in H.M.S. Iron Duke, 1st Battle Squadron.’ Stanley Francis Heraud was born in Bristol in November 1891 and entered the Royal Navy as a Boy Artificer in August 1907. An Engine Room Artificer 3rd Class in the battleship Superb by the outbreak of hostilities in August 1914, he removed to the cruiser Achilles in March 1916 and was present at her famous duel with the German raider Leopard on 16 March 1917, in the company of the armed boarding steamer Dundee - after a two hour engagement, including a torpedo hit delivered by the Achilles, the Leopard was sunk with all hands, among them Dundee’s original boarding party. Advanced to Acting Mate, R.N. in May 1917, Heraud served in the Iron Duke from June 1917 until July 1920, in which period he saw action against the Bolsheviks in the Black Sea, and assisted in the ‘wrecking of engines’ of the enemy ships based at Theodosia in the Crimea. For his services he was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire. An article published by Richard C. Witte (a sometime owner of Heraud’s full-sized awards) in the O.M.R.S. Journal gives further details: ‘In November 1919, Mate Heraud was detached, with three hours’ notice, to take over as Chief Engineer of the relatively new Russian battleship Volya which was interned at Izmid, Turkey, in the Sea of Marmora. She had been the Imperator Aleksander III in the Czarist Navy and had been under the German flag at Sebastopol from May 1918 until the end of the War. She had been taken to Izmid by the Royal Navy in April 1919 to keep her out of Bolshevik hands. She was in bad condition. In nine days, however, Heraud got Volya’s machinery in working order so she could be sailed back to Sebastopol - Denekin’s White Army victories made this possible. He was assisted by ratings from Iron Duke and the Russian sailors remaining in Volya. In the passage to Sebastopol, Heraud experienced a great storm and was without sleep for 35 hours, steaming 14 knots and arriving at Sebastopol just before dark. He reported that it was difficult to get through the Straits of Bosphorus on the way. Heraud remained with the Russians for a month as ‘British Engineer to the Russian Admiralty’, instructing the Russian Engineer Officers about Volya. He saved many letters he received complimenting him on the Volya trip, including one from Russian Admiral Nenkoff, Commander-in-Chief.. Between the Wars, Heraud served in Malta Dockyard in the mid-1920s and was Engineer Lieutenant-Commander in the new destroyer Amazon from 1928 to 1931, a ship with advanced and experimental machinery - her first major cruise was 20,000 miles around South America. Further seagoing appointments in the Wallace and Shropshire in the 1930s followed, the latter ship assisting in the rescue of passengers from the stricken Italian liner Ausonia at Alexandria in October 1935. Finally, about the time of the renewal of hostilities in 1939, he came ashore to take up an appointment in Chatham Dockyard, where his speciality was gunnery mounts. He was placed on the Retired List as an Engineer Captain in 1944, but actually remained employed at Chatham until 1947,, ansd was advanced O.B.E. in the 1946 New Year’s Honours’ List. He died in 1962. Note: The recipient’s full-sized medals sold in these rooms in December 2007.

BLOCH, Ernest (1880-1959). An important correspondence comprising c.120 autograph and typed letters, signed ("Ernest Bloch"), to Ernest Chapman, many with his replies, 1933-58.BLOCH, Ernest (1880-1959).  An important correspondence comprising c.120 autograph and typed letters, signed ("Ernest Bloch"), to Ernest Chapman, many with his replies, San Francisco, Paris, Châtel, Geneva, Naples, New York, Rangeley (Maine), North Platte (Nebraska), Agate Beach (Oregon) and elsewhere in America, 21 September 1933 to 17 August 1958. In English. c.345 pages, various sizes, some on postcards, telegrams or greetings cards. [With:] 12 letters to Chapman from Bloch's wife, Marguerite [And:] typescript by Ernest Chapman of "Ernest Bloch at 75" published in the 20th-century music journal "Tempo" (of which Chapman was the first editor), with autograph comments and corrections in Bloch's hand. An important correspondence between Ernest Bloch and Ernest Chapman, an indispensable source for the musical career, opinions, methods and personal life of the great Swiss composer, a singular figure in the music of the 20th century. The correspondence presents – except for a period of three years during WWII – a continuous picture of the last twenty-five years of Ernest Bloch's life, from 1933 and continuing until a few months before his death. Throughout this period Bloch was actively composing, continuing even during his long final illness. Among the subjects covered in the correspondence are the gestation and creation of new works, including such important compositions as the "Violin Concerto" (recorded by Szigeti, Menuhin, Totenberg, Bress, etc), the "Avodath Hakodesh" (or "Sacred Service", recorded by Bloch and Bernstein), the "Voice in the Wildernes for Cello and Orchestra", the "Concerto Symphonique for Piano and Orchestra", the "Piano Sonata", the final "Suites for Unaccompanied Stringed Instruments" (shortly to be recorded by Menuhin) and other works, including the difficulties with the revival of his opera, "Macbeth", 30-years after it was written, with the last-minute resignation of the conductor and Bloch’s illness; his conducting activities with leading orchestras in Europe and the United States; and his composition teaching courses at the University of California. In some letters he discusses the origin of his Jewish national style, and how he came to regard this in later years, and his artistic and philosophical outlook as a whole; some contain references to his personal life, and his view of his life as "a tragedy" and his opinions on contemporaries such as Schoenberg and Stravinsky. He expounds upon his method of teaching composition, with many references to his extremely detailed analyses of Beethoven's "Eroica", fugues by Bach, works by Lassus ("incomparable"), Josquin de Pres ("no less extraordinary – more daring"), Palestrina and others; expressing his concern that his huge collection of pedagogical material should be properly edited and published. During their twenty-five year relationship Bloch regarded Ernest Chapman first as a young admirer of his music, then as his publisher at Boosey & Hawkes, and eventually as a friend and confidant to whom he wrote, with ever increasing frankness, about himself, his music and the world at large. The correspondence as a whole constitutes a unique and indispensable source of information about Bloch's activities and thinking during the period of his full maturity as both man and artist. Bloch was a highly articulate writer and these letters reveal a man of deep culture, wide-ranging interests and passionate feelings. His prose is concise and clear, always lively and often extremely vivid. Ernest Chapman's replies are in a cooler, more prosaic style, making an appropriate foil. Contained in two boxes. Please note that only a small part of the lot is illustrated. Provenance: Sotheby's, 27 November 1980, lot 216.

Rahmen/Sockel: Rahmen. Im Rahmen beschrieben. Provenienz:- Sammlung Konrad Klapheck, Düsseldorf- Privatsammlung DeutschlandLiteratur:- Zervos, Christian: Pablo Picasso - Vol. 2,2, Works from 1912 to 1917, Paris 2013, WVZ.-Nr. 861, Abb.- Frühe Zeichnung des Ausnahmekünstlers, in der sich die wesentlichen Merkmale des Kubismus manifestieren- Entstanden in einer Zeit, in der der Kubismus seinen Höhepunkt fand- Aus dem ehemaligen Vorbesitz Konrad KlaphecksBefreiung von Figur und Raum Während des Ersten Weltkriegs blieb Pablo Picasso allein in Paris zurück. Seine Künstlerkollegen Georges Braque und André Derain, die mit ihm zu den Hauptvertretern des Kubismus zählten, wurden zum Militärdienst einberufen, während sein deutscher Kunsthändler Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler Frankreich verlassen musste. Dieser Einschnitt markierte 1915 den Abschied vom Kubismus und den Übergang zu einem klassizistischen Stil (Abb. 1). Auch war zwischenzeitlich das Konzept vom Kubismus in abgewandelter Form von einigen Künstlern übernommen worden, etwa von Fernand Léger und Robert Delaunay. Vom manierierten Stil dieser "Salonkubisten" distanzierte sich Picasso. Im Kubismus hatte Picasso die seit der Renaissance vorherrschende Auffassung revidiert, wonach die Wirklichkeit als naturgetreues Abbild, das auf der Einheitlichkeit der Perspektive zugunsten der Erzeugung größtmöglicher Ähnlichkeit beruhte, wiedergegeben wurde. Schon sein bahnbrechendes Werk "Demoiselles d´Avignon" von 1907, das als Schlüsselbild der Klassischen Moderne gilt, spiegelte Picassos kubistisches Formverständnis, waren doch die Figuren in geometrische Facetten aufgelöst. Aufgrund dieser epochalen Neuerungen fand schon 1913 die erste Picasso-Retrospektive in der Münchner Galerie von Heinrich Thannhauser in Deutschland statt, die anschließend in Prag und Berlin zu sehen war. Schwebende Dynamik rhythmisierter Formen In der Zeichnung "Femme tenant un journal" von 1915 manifestieren sich wesentliche Merkmale der bildnerischen Herangehensweise des Kubismus, mit der Picasso das tradierte Verhältnis von Figur und Raum systematisch aufgebrochen und die Ablösung von der traditionellen Kunst bewirkt hatte. Der Künstler betrachtete den dargestellten Gegenstand aus verschiedenen Standpunkten und führte multiperspektivische Ansichten in der Fläche zusammen. Die Negierung eines einzigen Fluchtpunkts und die damit einhergehende notwendige Deformation der Gestalt bedeutete die radikale Abkehr von der illusionistischen Täuschung, die Picasso letztlich als Konstrukt demontierte. Die Figur der in einem Stuhl sitzenden Dame, eine Zeitschrift in der Hand haltend, ist weder in ein einheitliches räumliches Gefüge gebracht, noch weist sie ein geschlossenes Körpervolumen auf. Vielmehr ist sie in grafisch klar voneinander abgesetzten Bildelementen aufgefächert, die wie gestaffelte Schichten in loser Anordnung den Bildraum füllen. Zwar modellieren und simulieren stärkere Bleistiftschraffuren innerhalb der klaren Konturen eine Körperhaftigkeit, diese jedoch stellt in ihrer fragmentierten Form keinen Bezug zur Umgebung her. Statt eine Verortung zu ermöglichen, entfaltet das sich prismatisch verschiebende Liniengerüst der kubischen Splitter daher eine eigene, von der perspektivischen Ordnung gelöste schwebende Dynamik. Ohne Stand, ohne Halt, wird der Betrachter von einem Formenrhythmus getragen, in dem vielfältige Aspekte der Erscheinung in einer Vielzahl vibrierender, sich gegenseitig durchdringender Komponenten kombiniert sind.Bettina Haiss.Erläuterungen zum Katalog Pablo Picasso Spanien Kubismus Surrealismus Moderne Kunst Unikate 1910er Rahmen.
