Professor Stephan Sinding and His Famous Group. "To Mennesker" (Two Mortals). [Facsimile signature:] Stephan Sinding. [On verso:] Stephan Abel Sinding was born in Thronhjem, Norway, the 4th of August, 1846. He matriculated at the University of Christiania, intending to become a lawyer. Quite by chance he discovered the great gift with which Nature had endowed him, and immediately went abroad for the purpose of studying sculpture in the great art centres. For many years he visited Berlin, Vienna and Paris, and in 1882 settled down to work in Rome. In 1883 he went to Copenhagen. Here he met the famous art patron, Dr. Carl Jacobsen, who at once realised the realism, the beauty and the grandeur of his work, and commissioned him to execute series of masterpieces for the "Glyptotek". He married a Danish lady, and became in 1890 a naturalised Dane. All his chief works were executed in Denmark, until a few years ago when he took up his domicile in Paris. The Sculpture by Stephan Sinding, on view at Harrods, May 26th-June 13, 1914. includes this master's most notable works, which have never before been exhibited in England. The Exhibits...The Barbarian Mother...A Captive Mother...Two Mortals...The Widow...Siegmund and Siegelinde. Finished in marble in Paris, 1914. Now exhibited for the first time.

Sinking of the Royal George.
Hinchliff [etching under waves to centre right.]
London, J & F. Harwood, 26, Fenchurch St.t Feb.y 2. 1842.
Etching. 120 x 184mm. 4¾ x 7¼". Laid on album scrap.
HMS Royal George was built at Woolwich Dockyard and was launched in 1756. She saw service during the Seven Years' War and as flagship to Admiral Sir Edward Hawke at the Battle of Quiberon Bay and later at the Battle of Cape St Vincent. On 29 August 1782, she was preparing to sail with Admiral Howe's fleet to relieve Gibraltar when she was keeled over to carry out some repair work. However the tilt was too far, passing her centre of gravity, and the counter-balance attempt by moving the guns back into position, but they were not properly secured, causing an inrush of water. She sank very quickly, taking with her 900 people, some of which were women and children who were visiting the ship in harbour. From "An Account of the Loss of the 'Royal George' at Spithead".

[Hebrew] Jesus = Sirach. N.10
E. Nunzer del: et sc:
[n.d., c.1730.]
Engraving, sheet c. 355 x 230mm. Some staining outside image, extreme upper left corner of image missing.
An image of Ben Sira, the author of the deuterocanonical book Sirach. The evidence seems to show that his name was Yeshua, son of Shimon, son of Eleazar ben Sira. In the Greek text, the author is called 'Jesus the son of Sirach of Jerusalem.' 'Jesus' is the Anglicized form of the Greek name ??s???. The only fact known with certainty, drawn from the text itself, is that Ben Sira was a scholar, and a scribe thoroughly versed in the Law, and especially in the 'Books of Wisdom.' He may have authored the 'The Wisdom of Jesus son of Sirach' (or merely 'Sirach') in Alexandria, Egypt c.180–175 BC, where he is thought to have established a school. The book, originally written in Hebrew, is included in the Septuagint and is accepted as part of the biblical canon by Catholics and Eastern Orthodox, but not by most Protestants, and is listed in Article VI of the Thirty-Nine Articles of the Church of England. Although it was not accepted into the Tanakh, the Jewish biblical canon, The Sirach is occasionally quoted in the Talmud and works of rabbinic literature. From an encyclopedia or religious text published in Nuremberg in Germany, where the engraver worked.
