ARRAN 2007 10 YEAR OLD MASTER OF DISTILLING ISLAND SINGLE MALT 1 of 12000 bottles54.2% ABV / 70cl Still a relative youngster in whisky terms, Arran distillery began production in 1995. Thanks to a focus on sourcing quality casks, and its light, accessible spirit that ages well, Arran has proven extremely successful. So much so, that in 2017 they began construction of a second distillery on the other side of the island. Sharing a name with Arran’s only other previous legal still (closed in 1837), Lagg distillery focuses on producing peated spirit.

The Last Communion of Saint Jerome, after Domenichino, circa 1650-55, etching on laid paper, published by Francois Collignon, Rome, trimmed to platemark, sheet size 548 x 360 mm (21 1/2 x 14 1/8 ins), together with other various Italian and French Old Master prints, mostly 17th and 18th century, including several plates from Valentin Lefebvre (circa 1642-1682), Opera Selectiora after Titian and Veronese (1682), Francois Joullain (1697-1778), Apollon Ecorchant Marsyas, after Veronese, Salvator Rosa (Apollo and The Cumaean Cibyl, a copy in reverse), Panini, Nicolo della Casa, Detail from the Last Judgement, after Michelangelo (damaged), etc. QTY: (50)

Portrait of Cosimo III de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany (1642-1723), oil on canvas, full length portrait of the Grand Duke of Tuscany in the vestments of a canon of St. Peter's, Rome, with the ducal crown on a table beside him, surface scratch to lower right corner with small loss of paint, printed label of W. Freeman & Son Ltd, picture restorers to verso with handwritten note on the picture by Michael Jaffé 'Cardinal Giacomo Carlo di Medici a son of Grand Duke Cosimo II as Canon of the Lateron', older handwritten address label '23 Bramley H[ill], Croydon', and auction stencil 'XESS7', further auction identification in white chalk '165 9 July 08', and Christie's printed label for Old Masters & 19th Century Art, 26 October 2011, lot 145, all to verso, 46 x 29.5 cm (18 1/8 x 11 6/8 ins), old gilded and patterned wood frame (55 x 39 cm) QTY: (1)NOTE:Provenance: Christie's London, Important Old Master & British Pictures Day Sale including Property from the Collection of the Princely House of Liechtenstein, 9th July 2008, lot 165; Christie's London, Old Masters & 19th Century Art, Wednesday 26th October 2011, lot 145; Estate of Michael Jaffé (1923-1997), art historian and former director of the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge.The prototype for this portrait (Florence, Uffizi) was executed by Maratti during Cosimo's visit to Rome in early June 1700, when Pope Innocent XII appointed him a Canon of San Giovanni in Laterano. On his return to Florence, Cosimo placed the picture in his villa at Castello. It is possible that Cosimo himself commissioned the present copy - perhaps even from Anton Domenico Gabbiani (1651-1726) - as agift for a fellow ruler, cardinal, or prestigious guest. This might explain the addition of the carved gilt table, draped, in the lower right, with an enormous Medici coat-of-arms propped against it and the grand-ducal crown on the marble top, which act as to emphasise his rank and descent, in a particularly delicate diplomatic moment. (From the note to the Christie's catalogue entry in 2011).

The printed catalogue note for this lot states 'We are grateful to Professor Marcel Roethlisberger for confirming this attribution on the basis of a photograph'.Bartholomeus Breenbergh lived and worked in Rome from 1619, where he was influenced by the Italian landscapes of his older compatriot Cornelis van Poelenburgh. He was one of the founder members of the society of Dutch and Flemish artists in Rome, the Bentvueghels (Birds of a Feather), or Schildersbent (Band of Painters), by whom he was nicknamed Het Fret (The Ferret). Breenbergh's use of the panoramic landscape with dramatic contrasts of light and shade, and buildings drenched in sunlight (as in the present work) influenced the French landscape painter Claude Lorrain, who arrived in Rome around the same time.

The Syria operations group of three awarded to William Cruys, Master at Arms, Royal Navy, late Royal Marines Naval General Service 1793-1840, 1 clasp, Syria (William Cruys.); Royal Navy L.S. & G.C., V.R., wide suspension (William Cruys, Mas. at Arms, H.M.S. Queen 27 Yrs.); St. Jean d’Acre 1840, bronze, unnamed as issued, contact marks, otherwise nearly very fine (3) £2,000-£3,000 --- Importation Duty This lot is subject to importation duty of 5% on the hammer price unless exported outside the UK --- --- Provenance: Dix Noonan Webb, June 2006. William Cruys was born at Millbrook, Cornwall, and joined the Royal Marines in about 1822. He served as a Sergeant aboard the Stromboli at Syria. After 21 years service in the Marines he transferred to the Royal Navy as a Ship’s Corporal in March 1843, a not uncommon occurrence for a marine N.C.O. to transfer to the Naval disciplinary arm at that time. He served for a further 10 years 3 months, mostly as Master at Arms, and received his L.S. & G.C. medal for 27 years service in May 1849. He was discharged from Albion on 26 July 1854, but signed on again in February 1859, for a short period as an Able Seaman but soon to be Master at Arms again. William Cruys was discharged ashore for the last time in November 1861, having a total service of 34 years 144 days, and getting on for 60 years old. See Lot 306 for the group awarded to his son.

The rare Arctic convoy PQ-17 B.E.M and Soviet Red Star group of five awarded to Chief Steward R. Quick, Merchant Navy, who survived the loss of the Empire Byron in PQ-17 in July 1942, and an inquisitive U-boat officer who suspected he was the ship’s Master British Empire Medal, (Civil), G.VI.R., 1st issue (Robert Quick); 1939-45 Star; Atlantic Star; War Medal 1939 -45; U.S.S.R., Order of the Red Star, the reverse officially numbered, ‘70811’, mounted for display, extremely fine (5) £1,200-£1,600 --- Importation Duty This lot is subject to importation duty of 5% on the hammer price unless exported outside the UK --- --- Provenance: Spink, November 2000. Approximately 20 Soviet Red Stars were awarded to Allied personnel for the 1939-45 War, six of them to members of the Merchant Navy. B.E.M. London Gazette 1 January 1943. The original recommendation states: ‘Chief Officer Prance and Steward Robert Quick were shipmates in a vessel which made three voyages to Russia in the Empire Byron. On her last voyage she was subjected to constant air and sea attack. Despite his previous experiences on the North Russian route, Steward Quick re-engaged in this vessel for a further voyage and faced unflinchingly all dangers and hazards.’ Soviet Red Star London Gazette 17 November 1942: ‘In recognition of gallantry in the convoying of ships to northern ports of the Soviet Union.’ Robert Quick was born in St. Ives, Cornwall on 4 May 1881, and was thus aged 61 when he signed on for his voyage in the S.S. Empire Byron on the Arctic run. Unfortunately for him, it was in the ill-fated Arctic convoy PQ-17. Carrying 3,500 tons of military stores, the Empire Byron sailed with the convoy from Reykjavik on 27 June 1942 and, following receipt of the notorious signal for the convoy to ‘scatter’ on 4 July, altered course by 20 degrees to veer away from the main body. At 0827 hours on the 5th, Kapitänleutnant Bielfeld of the U-703 put a torpedo into the Empire Byron’s main engine room, causing a between decks explosion which trapped a dozen Gunners below. The crew abandoned the sinking ship and under the orders of Captain Wharton concentrated in two boats, one of which had an engine. The officers discarded uniform insignia indicating their rank as the Germans would be sure to seek out the ship’s Master and no doubt take him prisoner aboard the U-Boat. Among those compelled to discard such insignia was John Rimington, a Captain in the R.E.M.E., who was to have advised the Russians on their new Churchill tanks. He remained, however, resplendent in a pure white duffel coat. Meanwhile, Empire Byron’s boiler exploded, tearing a gaping hole in the hull. Water then cascaded in and the ship sank with the loss of 18 gunners and ratings. Bielfeld now gave orders for U-703 to surface and closed on the two lifeboats. According to David Irving’s The Destruction of Convoy P.Q. 17, ‘A tall blond officer,’ accompanied by a German seaman in ‘polished leggings toting a machine-gun,’ then descended on to the U-boat’s deck, and began berating the British seamen who were struggling with unfamiliar oars. As they neared the submarine, the German Officer asked, “Why are you Fighting? You aren’t Communists are you? So why do you risk your lives to take tanks to the Bolsheviks? Who is your Captain?” Nobody stirred or answered, and, as related in the same book, the blond ‘German’s eyes fell on the rather distinguished-looking Chief Steward [Quick], but he hastily said he was not the Captain; finally, the officer saw Captain Rimington, and told him to step on to the submarine’s deck; the army captain’s protests went unheeded, and he was taken down below. At the same time, the lifeboats were handed tins of biscuits and apple-juice, and a piece of sausage. “How far is the nearest land?” asked Captain Wharton. “About 250 miles,” answered the blond officer. A klaxon sounded within the submarine, and she submerged, taking the captured Briton with them.’ Thus, cast adrift, 61-year-old Quick subsequently endured the following ordeal, as detailed by Captain Wharton in his official report: ‘We rowed to the S.E. throughout the afternoon of the 6th until the men became exhausted and then at about 1900 hours we took the other lifeboat in tow and started the motor, steered S.E. and making about four knots. A little before 1900 we saw a submarine on the surface astern signalling to a single aircraft which was circling overhead, but neither of them took any notice of us. Our compass was of little use to us, but we had the sun throughout the 24 hours and were able to steer by it and make a good course. We sighted one German plane on the 7th and also a steamer which was on fire and abandoned, but sighted nothing further until 10th when we sighted the corvette Dianella steaming towards us. Her crow’s nest look-out had sighted our red sails, and we were picked up about 1320 on 10th in position 73.48 N. 41.21 E., having been in the boats for five and a half days, and covering 250 miles towards the land. We remained on board the Daniella and landed at Archangel on 16 July.’ Sold with three original Soviet Red Star membership booklets, one of them with a portrait photograph, the other two with annual coupons dated 1942-46 [for annuity?], together with damaged card box of issue for B.E.M.

CRIMEAN WAR. Captain Henry William Heaton, 14th (Buckinghamshire) Regiment of Foot. Four autograph letters signed, 24th December 1855 - 16th June 1856, to his mother. Contents mainly discuss personal matters and the conditions. Sold together with an article cutting of monuments at the Crimea and Scutari, two further related press cuttings and nine pen and watercolour drawings including the British and Turkish flags, battle scenes and the Malakoff. Sold with full typed transcriptions of the letters. Excerpts include: Camp Sebastopol, Christmas Eve 1855 Heaton writes of the practicalities of winter encampment, including the importance of building stables to protect ponies from the cold. He also humorously recounts dealing with rats in his quarters: "You will be glad to hear that my cat has cleared off all the rats or nearly so now. Now & then they pay me a visit - you sometimes find a huge beast in your bed." Heaton assures his mother that his face has recovered from rat bites and describes the management of clothing by the officers’ servants: "Our servants do [wash our clothes]. They manage very well." (Part letter, with the remainder transcribed and held in the National Library of Wales.)Constantinople, Wednesday, 26th March 1856 Heaton comments on the uncertainty of troop movements while stationed in Constantinople: "We are to leave at 4 o'clock, at least report says so, but our departure has so often been put off I can't feel at all certain that we shall go this evening." He expresses his impatience with the current location: "I hope we shall, very much, for I have had quite enough of this place." Heights before Balaklava, 25th May 1856 Heaton describes a "Trench Ball" held to celebrate Queen Victoria’s birthday, which he attended alongside French and Russian guests. His account humorously details his experiences dancing: "You would have laughed to have seen me in the tender embrace of a Frenchman flying about the room in the waltz... The most amusing part of my performance was a quadrille with an old Frenchwoman... she put her arms around my waist and twirled me about like a whip top."Heaton also discusses the presentation of French war medals to selected soldiers and criticizes the Emperor’s allocation: "I certainly think the Emperor was most shabby not to give to the officers as well... The medal is a very pretty one and I would have given a great deal to have got one." Footnote:Henry William Heaton was born on 18th July 1833 at Osmond Thorp, Leeds, Yorkshire, the son of William, a Worsted Spinner Master and Amelia Maria Heaton. Henry enlisted as Ensign, without purchase, into the 14th Regt of Foot on 22nd December 1854. He married Fanny Gardiner at the Parish Church, Halifax on 17th December 1857.
