![[A Rolls-Royce Company Christmas Card, illustrated Airshow, with flypast of Hawker Harts?]](jpegs/37591.jpg)
[A Rolls-Royce Company Christmas Card, illustrated Airshow, with flypast of Hawker Harts?]
[by Cyril Barraud.]
[Printed by] W.F. Sedgewick Ltd. Xmas 1934.
Etching, presented as a printed christmas card. Etching 175 x 120mm (7 x 4¾") on front of a folded sheet watermarked 1934. Rare.
A christmas card with a printed greeting from A.F. Sidgreaves, managing director of Rolls Royce Ltd. It depicts an airshow with a flypast of biplanes in three ranks of three, most likely the Hawker Hart, a prominent British light bomber between the wars, powered by a Rolls-Royde engine. A Rolls Royce car is parked prominently among the spectators. Cyril Barraud (1877-1965), son of Herbert Rose Barraud and nephew of Francis Barraud. Having trained at the Brighton School of Art he emigrated to Winnepeg in 1913. He was commissioned as a lieutenant with the 43rd Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Forces in 1915 but transferred to the 79th Cameron Highlanders of Canada a few months later. He was wounded in the leg fighting in France in 1917, but returned to active service. Barraud was one of the first Canadian artists hired by Lord Beaverbrook for the War Records Office to sketch Canadian battle zones around Ypres and Vimy Ridge-Arras sectors. Later he was seconded to the Canadian War Memorials Fund. After demobilisation he remained in England, painting and etching landscapes, some of which were used for the LNER carriage prints, and taking commissions for christmas cards like this.

[Roman Catholic Relief Act] The Extinguisher, or putting out the Great Law-Luminary.
T. J Fec.t
London. Pub. 1829 by S.W Fores. 41. Picadilly.
Etching with fine hand colour. Sheet 340 x 245mm (13½ x 9½"). Trimmed within plate.
Satire on the Roman Catholic Relief Act 1829, Lord Chancellor John Scott, 1st Earl of Eldon was notoriously anti-catholic. Eldon's head rests on a candle-end which is in an elaborate candle-stick of gold plate, standing on the ground. Wellington, in uniform, reaches up to cover it with a huge extinguisher inscribed 'Catholic Bill Majority 168'; he says: 'Thus I obscure you, ne'er to shine again.' Eldon looks to the left, registering intensive melancholy; rays from his head, obstructed on the left by the extinguisher, strike against the profile of George IV, whose head, shoulder, and paunch project from the right margin, leaning towards the candle says 'Poor Old Bags!'

[Nuremberg?, c.1829.]
Etching with original hand colour. Sheet 175 x 205mm (7 x 8"). Trimmed.
A scene from Russo-Turkish War (1827-29): the Russian army using pontoon bridges to cross the Pruth river, between Romania and Moldova. The war started after the Russians helped the Greek independence movement fight the Battle of Navarino in 1827: the Turks closed the Dardanelles to Russian ships and revoked the Akkerman Convention. The war ended with the Treaty of Adrianople, which increased Russian dominance around the Black Sea area and Georgia, and, most importantly, forced the Sultan to promise autonomy for Greece.
