BRITISH ARMYThe 1st King's Dragoon GuardsWhen stationed at Aldershot, on 12 February 1879, the King's Dragoon Guards received a sudden order for service in South Africa. With as little delay as practicable, they were brought up to war strength by volunteers from other corps and the transfer of horses; on 27 February the left wing embarked at Southampton under the command of Major Marter, in the hired transport Spain; the right wing, with Headquarters, followed the next day under Colonel Alexander in the Egypt.Both ships arrived at Durban on 8 April, the men marching to Pietermaritzburg and then on to Dundee where they were joined by the 17th Lancers. On 19 April both regiments began marching towards Rorke's Drift, arriving at the battleground of Isandhlwana two days later; here they attempted to identify and bury the bodies of those who perished almost three months previously.Engaged in reconnaissance for a time thereafter, on 6 June the K.D.G's were involved in a particularly savage exchange at Erzungayan: the Zulus were found strongly posted in a wood which was intersected with dongas, and in front of which was a line of four large kraals and from here they poured a heavy fusillade upon men under the command of Colonel Buller and those of the 17th Lancers under Colonel Lowe. Seeing this, and fearing the Zulus might rush out upon the horses, the K.D.G's formed up on the flank and right rear of the 17th; the Zulus however remained completely concealed in the wood, and General Marshall had little choice but to give the order to retire. Realising their opportunity and following in skirmishing order, the Dragoon's had barely crossed the Upoko, in which there were quicksands, when a brisk fire was opened upon them.Thereafter, the regiment was employed on regular reconnaissance and skirmishing duties, using Fort Newdigate as a staging post; in these raids scores of native villages were destroyed. On the night of 7 August 1879, a detachment marched to Emptonjaneni, twelve miles distant from Ulundi. In the night a fearful storm of wind and rain smashed into the camp and continued until 11 a.m. the next morning. Lightning strikes, shock and the sheer ferocity of the weather left 360 transport bullocks dead in the camp, with approximately 90 more being discovered dead in the surrounding bushes.On 18 August Major Marter marched with a squadron of K.D.G's under orders to establish a chain of outposts to St. Paul's, 40 miles distant, and to keep up communications throughout the line by patrolling day and night, in order to prevent the King from breaking across. The men subsequently joined Clarke's Column and on 27 August the expedition commenced which resulted in the capture of the King.719 Medals were issued to the 1st King's Dragoon Guards, 641 of them with the '1879' clasp.Pair: Troop Sergeant-Major W.

ALFRED RUSSEL WALLACE INTEREST: DISTANT, W.L. - 'RHOPALOCERA MALAYANA': A DESCRIPTION OF THE BUTTERFLIES OF THE MALAY PENINSULA published by West, Newman & Co, London, and also D. Logan, Penang, 1882, retaining colour lithographed plates, with ink annotations throughout, believed to be that of Alfred Russel Wallace (1823-1913), the volume also annotated to front flyleaf 'L. Richmond Wheeler….Bound - Chowrata Malay School, Penang, May, 1937', later red half leather bindingProvenance: By repute, purchased from a second-hand bookshop in Southampton (UK) in 1978, along with a copy of Wallace's autobiography 'My Life' (1905) which contained an autographed letter of his (see Lot 169 in this auction). This volume has been inspected by Dr George Beccaloni, Director of the Wallace Correspondence Project. The annotations have been examined by an expert on Wallace's hand-writing who came to the conclusion that the handwriting was "probably that of Wallace.'' Wallace possibly used the book when he wrote a review of it for the journal Nature in 1882 - he was an admirer of Distant and corresponded with him on various issues.Supporting evidence of the date is found in a leaflet included in the book advertising the publication of The Butterflies of India, Burma and Ceylon (Marshall & Nicéville, Calcutta Press 1882) which is a comprehensive guide to butterfly species found in the regions of India, Burma (now Myanmar), and Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). There is also, curiously, a pressed flower inside the back cover of the Distant book, provisionally identified by Sir Ghillean Prance as a species of Poppy, which was almost certainly put there by the British educationalist, philosopher of biology and botanist Leonard Richard Wheeler (1888-1948), into whose hands the book seems to have passed after Wallace's death. We shall never know the exact circumstances, but it seems feasible that Wallace brought this volume back from Malaya and that somehow it passed to Wheeler. Wheeler seemingly took the book to Penang with him where he worked as a Schools Inspector for the British Colonial Service. He has written on the inside cover of the book "L R Wheeler 1936, Bound - Chlororasta Malay School, Penang May.1937". Wheeler returned to Britain in 1945 to avoid the advance of the Japanese forces into Penang.Note: Alfred Russel Wallace (1823-1913) was one of the leading evolutionary thinkers of the 19th century. A contemporary of Charles Darwin, he independently conceived the theory of evolution through natural selection, travelled the world collecting specimens including courageous solo trips up the Amazon and even addressed humanity's place in the universe. William Lucas Distant (1845-1922) was inspired to write a study of natural history on a whaling trip to the Malay Peninsula with his father in 1867. He was editor of the journal The Zoologist and was employed by the British Museum of Natural History between 1899 and 1920, where he worked mainly on bugs (Hemiptera). He also collected many species of insects during a four-year stay in South Africa, many of which were described in his 'Insecta Transvaaliensia' (1900-1911).

CHARLES RENNIE MACKINTOSH (1868-1928) 'BROOKWEED', 1901 pencil and watercolour, signed and inscribed lower right BROOKWEED/ HOLY ISLAND/ JULY 1901/ MT FB C, framed 22cm x 17cm (frame size 44.5cm x 39.5cm) Provenance: William Marshall, GlasgowScottish Private Collection Exhibited: Edinburgh, London, Darmstadt, Zürich, Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868-1928) Architecture, Design and Painting, 1968, Catalogue number 289, lent by William Marshall, Glasgow1901 was a productive and exciting time for Mackintosh professionally, being the year that he was made a partner in the Glaswegian architectural practice where he worked. Seeking some brief respite from his busy roster of commissions, he and his wife Margaret took a holiday to Holy Island in the month of July, joined by the other members of ‘The Four’: Margaret’s sister Frances Macdonald and her husband Herbert McNair, as well as Margaret and Frances’s brother, Charles.Given the trip was for such a short duration, sketches from this excursion are scarce. Nonetheless, the impact of this visit on both Mackintosh’s artistic and architectural practice was marked. For example, the surviving sketches show that he was deeply absorbed by Lindisfarne Castle. It has been noted that its sweeping, austere curves find echoes in his architectural language, for example in the Glasgow School of Art’s design which was completed in phases between 1896 and 1909. Mackintosh had begun to develop his botanical studies in the 1890s, but the series of works from Holy Island are notable in that they crystallize the format for his botanical drawings thereafter. It is here, for example, that he begins to add his distinctive, almost Japanistic ‘cartouche’, featuring the initials of the companions present at the time of the work’s inception. In the past some have implied that the presence of ‘MM’ on such works suggest that Margaret did the colouring, but this does not fit with what is known of his attitude as an artist. Those close to him, notably Mary Sturrock - daughter of his friend and mentor Fra Newbery - are adamant that Mackintosh would not have let his artwork be added to in such a manner. Further support for this can be found in ‘Brookweed’ and other Holy Island watercolours, some of which feature more than two sets of initials. In ‘Brookweed’ the picture is signed M (for Margaret Macdonald), T (Tosh for Mackintosh himself), F (for Frances Macdonald), B (for Herbert (Bertie) McNair), and C (for Charles Macdonald, Margaret and Frances's brother), which appears to confirm the theory that the inscriptions were more of an aide memoire or dedication to those who were present when the pictures were made. Botanic studies were central to Mackintosh’s artistic practise. Even when he was busy with his architectural business, they remain a mainstay. Mackintosh’s ideology had sprung from the tenets of the Arts and Crafts Movement, in tandem with European Art Nouveau, and it is crucial to understand that his design language, whether that be architecturally or artistically, ultimately found its basis in his belief that nature was the source of beauty. His work across all media is characterised by a sinewy, linear approach to form, the distillation of the essential patterns and design of the natural world. This fascinating, alchemical process by which Mackintosh transforms the organic into design is arguably most tangible in his botanical studies, which perhaps explains their enduring appeal. The drawings vary subtly over the course of time. From naturalistic depictions on Holy Island in 1901, to analytical, almost scientific studies in Sintra in 1908. Ultimately a more wholly decorative interest was developed post-1910, enhanced by the fact he is highly likely to have begun pressing his flower stems in order to more clearly expose the decorative formal possibilities. Finally, there was the explosion of botanical studies in Walberswick in 1914 (40 over a period of approximately 12 months), which marked a move from depictions purely of wildflowers to the inclusion of cultivated blooms.Writing for The Studio in 1897, London critic Gleeson White remarked that the work of the ‘Spook School’, “is singularly free from vulgarity of idea, redundance of ornament, and misapplication of material…”. This sentiment holds across all aspects of Mackintosh’s work, but perhaps most particularly his botanical studies. This meeting of classicism and modernity, precision and invention, the spare and the decorative, goes some way to explain the timelessness of these pieces.

Egypt and the Middle East Travel Journals.[Mounsey (George W.)]. Three manuscript journal accounts of a trip through Egypt and the Middle East in 1858/1859, containing diary entries, notes, ink sketches, and watercolours. The author, George W. Mounsey (later Mounsey-Heysham), had several travelling companions, including the artist Hercules Brabazon Brabazon. Two of the journals take a diaristic form whilst the third is more of a prose account of his travels. The sketches and watercolours depict the landscape, people, flowers and details of Ancient Egyptian ruins. The journey takes them to many of the famous ancient sites of Egypt, before travelling east to the Holy Land, through Palestine and Syria, before ending in Lebanon. Alongside general commentary on the scenery, weather and sites visited, the account describes confrontations with Bedouin tribes, discussions on art and architecture, and details of the flora he encounters. Three octavo journals (two 204mm x 141mm, the other 211mm x 137mm), ink manuscript in a single hand, approximately 192 (including 8 tipped-in); 145 (1 tipped-in); 95 leaves, foliation provided in manuscript, numerous half-page and marginal watercolours and pen and ink sketches, notes and quotes on the verso of leaves with the main account generally on rectos, travel document with the names William Marshall, H.B. Brabazon, George a. Robins and G.W. Mounsey loosely inserted in the first journal, a few other paper/card slips with illustrations tipped-in as well as a few loosely inserted, leather bindings, marbled edges and endpapers, slightly scuffed and rubbed.A fascinating account of a mid-19th century journey through Egypt and into the Holy Land. The account begins November 27th 1858 and the final dated entry is June 2nd 1859. Mounsey is not known as an artist, but the sketches and watercolours combine well with the detailed descriptions of his travels. The writing conveys the author's enthusiasm for the archaeological sites and scenery. In Egypt, they travel to Luxor, Memphis, Sakkara, Cairo, Heliopolis, Thebes, etc., where he produces sketches/watercolours of Ancient Egyptian ruins and art. He expresses his fondness of "the delicious nomad life" when travelling through the desert into Palestine, despite encountering difficulties with the Bedouin tribes. The journey continues to Khan Younis, Gaza City, Bayt Jibrin, Jerusalem and onwards to Damascus, with the diary stopping when he reaches Baalbek, Lebanon. Mounsey was a lawyer from Cumbria who lived in London. It is not known how he made Brabazon's acquaintance, but the artist is well-known for having travelled extensively in the region and these journals provide a glimpse into one of his journeys.(3)
