Of historical interest. A William IV silver coffee potA. B. Savory & Sons London, 1834Raised on four shell bracket feet, the lid with flower finial and the body engraved with presentation inscription reading: To Captain A. W. Robe R.E and his sisters. A token of affection from the parents of Hastings Fitz-Edward Murphy, Lient. Roy. Engineers who died 9th August 1856 at Bassora whilst employed as Astronomer to the expedition to the Euprates', engraved with coat of arms and the Robe family motto 'cum toga honoris' (with the cloak of honour) to opposite side, approx. 23cm high, approx. weight 30oz Ivory submission reference: GFJAP62K Condition Report: Note: Hastings Fitz-Edward Murphy died of typhus at Basra (Bassora), Iraq, on 9 August 1836, aged 37, while on the ill-fated expedition to explore the Euphrates under Colonel Chesney. Chesney had persuaded the British government to allow him to survey the long stretch of the river Euphrates from the Anatolian mountains to the Persian Gulf. In 1835 Chesney was put in charge of the expedition and carefully selected his associates, about fifty people in total, including Hastings Fitz-Edward Murphy. Two iron-hulled steamboats, the Euphrates and the Tigris, were chosen for the voyage. The objectives of the expedition were to set up a new trade route between Britain and India (which would avoid the lengthy voyage around the South African Cape of Good Hope) and to prevent Russian expansion in the Near East, as some considered this a threat to Britain's control of India.

A CIRCA 1906-1909 NEWPORT RFC CAPTAIN'S JERSEY MATCH-WORN BY CHARLES MEYRICK PRITCHARD (1882-1916)Hooped black and amber jersey with white collar, two buttons and interior label for A Simmonds, Newport, label to collar inscribed ‘C M PRITCHARD – CAPTAIN’.Preserved with other important jerseys, caps and photographs by Charles Meyrick Pritchard (1882 – 1916) which form a collection entered to this auction by Charlie Pritchard’s great-grandson. In recent years the collection has been archived and exhibited at the World Rugby Museum at Twickenham Stadium.The Newport club was an important source for fine Wales internationals before the First World War, Wales's first golden era. The club was substantial in stature and reputation thus the start of the 20th century saw touring sides from the southern hemisphere as regular visitors to Rodney Parade. In 1912, Newport became the first ever club side to beat Bill Millar's South African team. This was the era of Walter Martin, J. E. C. Partridge, Reg Plummer, Reg Skrimshire, Tom Smythe, Tommy Vile etc. Skrimshire was Newport's first ever British Lion in 1903 and since that time they have provided a total of 31 players on overseas Lions tours. In 1910, Dr. Tom Smythe was selected to captain the Lions to South Africa along with 6 fellow Newport players. But it was Charlie Pritchard who stood most prominently in the first decade of the new century.Newport RFC was for Charlie Pritchard a family affair. His father was a founding member of the club. And at the age of eighteen in 1902, Pritchard enjoyed his debut match for Newport in a 6-3 victory away against Swansea, with his cousin Cliff Pritchard scoring a try.Between 1901 and 1911, Pritchard went on to make 217 appearances for Newport and score 63 points. He was described as 'the most enduring of influences upon the fortunes of the club' and elected captain for 1906/1907 season, during which 27 matches were played, 13 won, 7 lost and 7 drawn. In ‘Newport Rugby Football Club, 1875-1960’ (published by Newport Athletics Club, 1960), author Jack Davis remarked that ‘…Pritchard as a captain was not at the highest level but he was a great forward, and he was the most lovable of all the Newport captains I have known. On the field he was a lion; off the field he was one of the tenderest and sweetest of men. There was a quality of gentleness in his manner, a note of affection in his voice, and great a player as he was, one thinks of him as a good comrade, a genial companion’.Captain Charles Meyrick Pritchard, 12th Battalion (3rd Gwent), the South Wales Borderers, died at Chocques in France from wounds received two days earlier during the fighting at Loos. He was one of thirteen Wales international players to be killed during the Great War. In May of 1915 he joined the South Wales Borderers, and after six months had been promoted to captain. His battalion arrived on the Western Front in June of 1916. On the night of the 12th of August, Captain Pritchard led a raiding party near Loos. Although the raid was successful, he was wounded at the outset but carried on only to be more seriously wounded later. He was taken to No. 1 Casualty Clearing Station, a few miles behind the front lines, but could not be saved. The 12th South Wales Borderers War Diary recorded: “The Battalion thus loses a very gallant officer and a chivalrous, generous and large-minded gentleman.” He was mentioned in despatches, and had he survived he would have been recommended for the Distinguished Service Order for his bravery – at that time the D.S.O. was not awarded posthumously.On hearing of Captain Pritchard’s death, the journalist W.J. Townsend Collins wrote: “The war has swept away many a great and famous Rugby player who was also a good fellow; but among them all was none with a stouter or kinder heart, more beloved, more lamented than Charlie Pritchard.” He is buried in the Chocques Military Cemetery, three miles north-west of Béthune.Charles Meyrick Pritchard, former Welsh international rugby player, Newport RFC captain, local wine merchant, husband and father of two sons, was just 33 years old.

A RARE 1906 SOUTH AFRICA INTERNATIONAL SPRINGBOK RUGBY UNION MATCH-WORN JERSEYIn moss-green cotton with white collars, three original buttons, bears shield shaped crest in black felt with embroidered leaping Springbok, interior label for George Lewin.Provenance: believed to be the first time a 1906 Springbok tour jersey has been offered at auction. Presented to Charles Meyrick Pritchard (1882 – 1916) after the Wales v South Africa match, December 1st, 1906. Preserved with other important jerseys, caps, and photographs by Charlie Pritchard and which form a collection entered to this auction by Charlie Pritchard’s great-grandson. In recent years the collection has been archived and exhibited at the World Rugby Museum at Twickenham Stadium.In the wake of New Zealand’s seminal 1905 tour of Europe, in 1906–07 South Africa embarked on their inaugural tour of Europe with fixtures against the four British Home Nation teams. The tour also took in several matches against British and Irish clubs, counties, and invitational teams before finally travelling to France to play their national team.Just as the New Zealand team gained the nickname The All Blacks one year previously, the 1906 South Africans were given their famous sporting nickname of the Springboks for the first time. And as with the All Blacks the Springboks brought new tactics to the fore which most importantly included the 3–4–1 forward formation for scrummaging, seen for the first time in international rugby history. Tactically the years 1905 and 1906 were a coming of age for rugby union with the protagonists of change being the new world ‘colonials’.The tour was extremely successful for the South Africans which helped garner respect from the Northern Hemisphere teams and established South Africa as a formidable rugby playing country. After rapid development in South Africa, since the first British side toured the country in 1891, the 1906 tour was a landmark for the South African sport – it was the starting block for the current world champions - the only country to have won the Rugby World Cup four times.In the test matches played, the Springboks would only lose to Scotland and draw against England. The South African defeat of Wales was a shock to many critics and ended the international careers of some of the greatest Welsh players of the time. Out of 29 matches played, South Africa won 26, lost two and drew one.

Patrick Hennessy RHA (1915 - 1980) Marine Encounter (PH212) Oil on Canvas, 62.5 x 89cm (25 x 35") Signed Provenance: With Guildhall Galleries, Chicago, label verso; Private Collection, DublinHennessy’s work was very different to that of his Irish contemporaries, he favoured more traditional subject matter, landscapes, still lives and portraits. His finesse and skill as a painter were best exemplified in his depiction of animal life, with an incredible eye for detail and anatomical correctness.His works have a slightly surreal character, often set within isolated landscapes, each with their own internal narrative. In this work the odd encounter of the butterfly, song bird and conch shells, are arranged as a miniature tableau. Hennessy is influenced by the art historical genre of still life painting, mastered by Dutch Golden Age artists, in which animals and food were arranged in highly realistic and abundant displays.Ill health led to permanent move to Morocco in 1968, where he could benefit from a warmer climate. Some of his later works, depict the deserts of that landscape, such as Mare and Foal, sold in these rooms in 2019. The beach landscape in this work is suggestive of the North African coastline, with its distinctive cliff faces, one in the immediate background, stands as individual layers of rock stacked on top of each other, eroded by the seawater. While in the farther distance, an impressive promontory cuts through the picture plane and into the sea beyond.Niamh Corcoran, November 2023
