['M R.H.R.' artist's monogram
[Dated 1904, November 1913.]
Eight manuscript plans on linen in different combinations of pencil, black and red ink and watercolour. Sheets varying sizes, smallest c.190 x 300mm, largest c.370 x 690mm Folds, staining as normal.
Earl Eldon of Encombe, Dorset. At the end of the 19th century, Mr. Wyatt, an Englishman, arrived at Menaggio on Lake Como, northern Italy, and settled in nearby Croce. He and his English neighbour Mr. Mylius decided to build a course at Dervio on the opposite side of the lake. The location was not ideal however, and a hilly area in Grandola ed Uniti near Menaggio became the site of the 'Golf Club Menaggio and Cadenabbia' when the official decision was taken to start a golf club during a meeting held at the Hotel Victoria in Menaggio. The Italian Golf Federation defines 1906 as the year of the club's affiliation. These plans date from a few years later and perhaps show the early stages of the development of a clubhouse for the newly-established course. All captioned 'Lake Como Golf Club Dervio' along with an identification of the particular elevation or plan, some are numbered. One shows a finished elevation, the lower part of the pencil drawing completed in watercolour (a golfer carrying a club is visible to the right).

In 1778 he was successful in persuading King Louis XVI to annul the decree which had sentenced his father to death, but after much debate, Lally's innocence was never fully admitted by the French judges. He joined the opposition to the strict regime of the Marquis de Mirabeau but later emigrated to Great Britain. During the trial of Louis XIV he offered to defend the King, but was not allowed to return to France, and only did so after the establishment of the Consulate and was honoured with the title, Peer of France, by Louis XVIII and in 1816 he became a member of the French Academy. He then devoted the rest of his life to understanding and bringing about prison reform.

La Muse, Calliope.
Peint par le Sueur Dessiné et Gravé par Picart [c.1720]
Very fine engraving, platemark 335 x 220mm (13¼ x 8½"), with very large margins.
Although claiming to represent the muse Calliope (associated with epic poetry), the work from which this derives is traditionally believed to by Terpsichore (associated with music). Engraved after the painting by Eustache Le Sueur (1616-55), one of a series which he produced for his patron, the financier Nicolas Lambert. Together, they were installed as the 'Chambre des Muses' at the Lambert's residence, Hôtel Lambert in Paris. Le Sueur, a founder of French classicism long considered the 'French Raphael', decorated the room in 1652 with paintings depicting the nine Muses and a ceiling painting of 'Phaeton asking Apollo's Permission to Drive the Chariot of the Sun'. In 1776 the paintings were all sold to Louis XVI, and today are in the Louvre. From a folio of engravings recording in details Le Sueur's many works for the Hôtel Lambert.

[View of Lambeth from Whitehall Stairs]
[Abraham Aubry after Wenceslaus Hollar, c.1644]
Etching, platemark 115 x 175mm (4½ x 7").
View from Whitehall Stairs, a public landing place (as opposed to the nearby Privy Stairs) near the Banqueting House in Westminster. Whitehall Court now stands on the site. Numerous empty ferry boats by the landing, with many more being rowed along the river Thames. Lambeth Palace across the river in the distance. Copy by Abraham Aubry of an etching by Wenceslaus Hollar (1607-77), whose etching was originally issued as part of a set of four English views (the other three were of central London and Windsor). Born in Bohemia, Hollar spent around 32 of his 52 years as a professional artist working in England. An outstanding draughtsman and topographical etcher, Hollar's work was enormously varied and has done much to inform the way that 17th century London is visualised.
