TITLE: Two Stems with Red Flowers – Original Botanical Watercolor by A.L., 1819 DESCRIPTION: A refined original botanical watercolor depicting two slender stems bearing vivid red flowers and delicately rendered green leaves, painted in 1819 by an unidentified artist with the initials A.L. The composition is elegant and restrained, with the flowering stems isolated against the natural cream-colored paper. The artist has carefully observed the structure of the plant, combining botanical precision with the decorative quality characteristic of early 19th-century flower studies. The work is monogrammed “A.L.” on the left stem and dated “1819” on the right. Particularly noteworthy is the paper itself, which bears the watermark “J. Whatman 1817.” James Whatman's celebrated English papers were highly regarded by artists and printmakers for their quality and durability. The watermark dates the manufacture of the paper to 1817, while the artist's inscription dates the execution of the watercolor to 1819. The two dates therefore provide an unusually clear chronology: the Whatman sheet was manufactured in 1817 and used by the artist for this botanical watercolor two years later, in 1819. An attractive and unusually well-documented original botanical artwork from the Regency period. ARTIST: A.L., unidentified artist. The work is monogrammed “A.L.” on the left stem. DATE: 1819 - dated on the artwork. MEDIUM: Original watercolor on paper PAPER: J. Whatman paper, watermarked 1817 ORIGIN: European, probably British or Continental European PERIOD / STYLE: Regency period Early 19th century Botanical / Natural History SUBJECT: Two stems with red flowers Botanical study Flower study DIMENSIONS: Image: approximately 29 × 16.5 cm Sheet: approximately 46 × 32.5 cm MARKS: Monogrammed “A.L.” on the left stem. Dated “1819” on the right. Paper watermarked “J. Whatman 1817.” CONDITION: Very good antique condition. The watercolor retains attractive and strong colors. Some light age-related toning and occasional minor foxing are present. A subtle former light line is visible, consistent with previous presentation beneath a passe-partout. The sheet was attached beneath a passe-partout along the upper edge. FRAMING: Offered unframed. Any framed or interior photographs shown are for presentation and inspiration only. AUTHENTICITY: An original, unique hand-painted watercolor dating from 1819. This is not a print, engraving or modern reproduction.

Greater Bird of Paradise Male & Female Hand-Colored Lithograph, c. 1875 Description: Original antique hand-colored lithograph depicting a magnificent pair of Greater Birds of Paradise, identified beneath the image as “Der gemeine Paradiesvogel (Paradisea apoda).” The composition shows the spectacular male Greater Bird of Paradise perched above a female. The male is represented with his characteristic golden-yellow ornamental flank plumes cascading dramatically around the body, contrasting with his dark chest and greenish-yellow head and throat. Two extremely elongated tail wires descend beneath him. The more restrained brown plumage of the female provides a striking illustration of the sexual dimorphism for which birds of paradise became celebrated. Birds of paradise were among the most extraordinary exotic birds known to European naturalists and collectors. Early specimens reached Europe from the Indonesian archipelago without their feet, contributing to centuries of myths that the birds lived perpetually in the air. This history is reflected in the scientific name Paradisea apoda, meaning essentially “footless bird of paradise.” The plate is numbered Fig. 139 and bears the German title “Der gemeine Paradiesvogel.” It was produced for a German 19th-century natural-history publication and is a fine example of the period's increasingly sophisticated ornithological illustration. Although the composition is reminiscent of the celebrated bird illustrations associated with John Gould, I would not attribute this particular plate directly to Gould. The available evidence does not establish Gould as its artist or publisher, and the German typography and figure numbering indicate that it belongs to a separate German natural-history publication. Greater Bird of Paradise Paradisea apoda “Der gemeine Paradiesvogel” Fig. 139 German School c. 1870–1880 Original hand-colored lithograph This is an original antique print from the 19th century, not a modern reproduction. Condition: Good antique condition with overall age-related toning, scattered light foxing and minor spotting and marks, particularly within the margins. Some minor handling wear is consistent with age. The colors remain attractive and the principal image is well preserved.

Title: Rare Persian Lustreware Albarello Chromolithograph, Henry Wallis, 1899 Description: An exceptionally rare original chromolithographic plate depicting a Persian albarello or apothecary jar from the 13th century. The vessel is richly ornamented with seated courtly figures framed by scrolling vegetal motifs and lustrous metallic decoration characteristic of the celebrated ceramic workshops of medieval Persia. Rendered in warm copper, gold, olive, and cream tones, the composition exemplifies the extraordinary artistic achievements of Persian lustreware production during the Seljuk and early Ilkhanid periods. The elegant figural imagery, combined with rhythmic arabesques and ornamental bands, reflects the refined visual language that made Kashan ceramics among the most admired luxury objects of the Islamic world. This plate originates from Henry Wallis's important folio Persian Lustre Vases, privately printed in London in 1899 in a strictly limited edition of only 200 copies. The publication remains one of the earliest scholarly studies devoted exclusively to Persian lustre ceramics, and individual plates from the work are today exceptionally scarce. This is an original 1899 chromolithograph and not a later reproduction. Sold unframed. Any images showing the print in a frame or interior setting are for visual impression only. Frame dimensions, matting proportions, and room presentations are not always to scale. Creator: Henry Wallis (1811–1891), published posthumously. Publication: Persian Lustre Vases, London, 1899. Date: 1899 Medium: Original chromolithograph on paper. Condition: Good antique condition with age-related toning, scattered foxing, and minor handling wear to the sheet edges consistent with removal from the original folio volume. The image remains bright, decorative, and well preserved. Provenance: From Persian Lustre Vases, London, 1899, privately printed in an edition limited to only 200 copies.

Title: The Battle of Trafalgar, Admiral Nelson & British Fleet, 1805 Original antique 19th-century steel engraving depicting the Battle of Trafalgar, the decisive British naval victory of 21 October 1805 during the Napoleonic Wars. This dramatic maritime scene is after the painting by celebrated British marine artist Clarkson Frederick Stanfield, R.A. (1793–1867), and was engraved by John Cousen (1804–1880). The inscriptions beneath the image read: “C. STANFIELD, R.A. PAINTER.” “J. COUSEN, ENGRAVER.” “THE BATTLE OF TRAFALGAR.” “FROM THE PICTURE IN THE VERNON GALLERY.” The Battle of Trafalgar Fought on 21 October 1805 off Cape Trafalgar on the southwestern coast of Spain, the Battle of Trafalgar was one of the most important naval engagements of the Napoleonic Wars. The British Royal Navy, commanded by Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson, confronted the combined French and Spanish fleet under Admiral Pierre-Charles Villeneuve. Nelson employed an unconventional attack, dividing his fleet into columns that sailed directly into the Franco-Spanish battle line. The resulting close-range engagement ended in a decisive British victory and confirmed Britain’s command of the seas. The battle became one of the defining events of British maritime history. Admiral Horatio Nelson & HMS Victory Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson (1758–1805) commanded the British fleet from his famous flagship HMS Victory. Shortly before the battle commenced, Nelson ordered the celebrated signal: “England expects that every man will do his duty.” During the fighting, Nelson was struck by a musket ball fired from the French ship Redoutable and was mortally wounded. He died aboard HMS Victory during the battle, having lived long enough to learn that victory was assured. His death at the moment of triumph made Nelson a national hero and permanently linked his name with Trafalgar. The Scene Stanfield’s composition conveys the enormous scale, violence and confusion of a major naval engagement in the age of sail. Ships-of-the-line crowd the horizon, their towering masts and rigging emerging through smoke, spray and the dramatic sky. Several vessels are depicted fighting at extremely close quarters, recalling the devastating exchanges of cannon fire that characterized the battle. In the foreground, broken spars, wreckage and sailors struggling in the turbulent sea emphasize the human consequences of the engagement. The exceptionally wide composition gives the engraving an almost panoramic character and makes it particularly effective as a decorative maritime print. Clarkson Frederick Stanfield, R.A. (1793–1867) Clarkson Frederick Stanfield was one of the leading British marine painters of the 19th century. Stanfield had first-hand experience of life at sea before establishing himself as an artist. His knowledge of ships, rigging, changing weather and the movement of the ocean contributed to the convincing maritime atmosphere for which his work became celebrated. He was elected a Royal Academician and became particularly admired for his dramatic marine and historical paintings. John Cousen (1804–1880) The painting was translated into engraving by John Cousen, an accomplished English engraver known particularly for his landscape, architectural and marine subjects after important contemporary British artists. His finely worked engraving preserves the dramatic tonal effects of Stanfield’s original painting, from the dark turbulent foreground water to the distant ships disappearing into smoke and atmospheric haze. The Vernon Gallery The original painting was part of the important collection assembled by British businessman and philanthropist Robert Vernon (1774–1849). Vernon built an extensive collection devoted primarily to contemporary British art and presented his collection to the British nation in 1847. The inscription “From the Picture in the Vernon Gallery” records the important provenance of Stanfield’s original composition.
