Murray, 19th Battalion, Australian Imperial Force, a Gallipoli veteranWounded in the neck during the second attempt on the Maze trench in November 1916, he survived and went on to become a famous artist in AustraliaMilitary Medal, G.V.R.

A.I.F.); Gallipoli Star 1914-15, marked to the reverse 'Collector's Item' and thus an unofficial award, light pitting and contact wear overall, very fine (5)M.M. London Gazette 21 September 1916, the original recommendation states:'For conspicuous bravery during period 25/28 July, 1916. During 48 hours intense bombardment of Pozieres, Pte Murray displayed great gallantry and ability in attending to wounded and carrying them in by night and day. For him to do this it was necessary from him to move outside the front line on the parados and also to bring his wounded men across open ground. He carried out his work with the utmost coolness under shell fire'Originally recommended for the D.C.M.Christopher William Murray was born at Geelong, Victoria on 8 September 1885, the son of John and Jane Murray, both native of Ireland. The young Murray's parents both died before he was ten leaving himself and his older brother as orphans. Made a ward of a state as a result he was placed at St. Augustine's Orphanage in Geelong where he learned the trade of boot making. He was also a member of the famous St. Augustine's band, discovering a love for music and art which would remain with him for the rest of his life. He studied art firstly at Geelong before joining the Melbourne Art Gallery and finally the Slade School of Art in London.Enlisting on 28 May 1915 in New South Wales, Murray stated his trade as 'Artist' and was initially posted to 7/1st Battalion, A.I.F. However Murray's musical flare came to the fore and he applied to join the Band of 'C' Company, 19th Battalion. Joining them on 15 June 1915 he embarked upon the Ceramic and travelled to Egypt before entering the war at Gallipoli on 21 August 1915.On the first day in the field the Battalion entered the Battle of Hill 60, they were later also engaged at Pope's Hill. 19th Battalion finally withdrew during the evacuation in January 1916 and returned to Egypt for a turn on the Suez Canal Defences. Once they had re-organised, they proceeded to France on 18 March 1916.Not long after they arrived in France Murray was one of a small group who volunteered to undertake a trench raid near Pozieres where they would shortly go into action in the Battle of the Somme. Just 6 officers and 65 other ranks took part, the raid was considered extremely dangerous and in recognition of their gallantry in undertaking it each man who took part had a note of recognition made in their service papers.It was during the Battle of Pozieres the following month that Murray was to earn his laurels. However, his luck ran out and he was seriously wounded by a gunshot in the neck near Guedecourt, North Flers on 5 November 1916. At the time the Battalion was engaged in a major attack against the Maze feature, and he was successfully recovered from the battlefield and taken to hospital.The severity of the wound required some years of recuperation after which Murray was detached to No. 3 Australian Auxiliary Hospital on 17 February 1918. He remained serving there until the end of the war, not long after his detachment he was granted leave to study figure painting at the Slade School of Art in London. Murray returned to Australia on 22 August 1919 and was discharged on 7 December 1919, becoming a well-known artist in Australia as stated in his obituary, written on 2 January 1959:"He was a painter known to the Melbourne Art Club, and praised by some critics, as 'artist's artist'. He was a musician who built himself a "cello" of Australian wood and he was a bootmaker. Born at Geelong 73 years ago, he became an orphan early in life. At the orphanage he learned the trade of boatmaking, and was a member of the famous St. Augustine's band which, under the direction of the well-known band leader, travelled all over Australia. He studied painting at Geelong, the Melbourne Art Gallery and the Slade School of Art in London.He served in the 1st world war as a stretcher bearer, and won the Military Medal for gallantry in the trenches of France. After the war he made his living as a musician. He loved to work with his hands and occupied the last years of his life making the thousands of bricks of his home and studio at Emerald."Murray died at Emerald, Queensland in January 1959; sold together with copied research.…

Lucia Jones I was Nowhere to be Found, 2024 Gouache on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in. About Lucia Jones is a Welsh prize-winning painter. Since graduating from Falmouth University, she has exhibited globally in solo and group exhibitions including BEEP Painting Prize 2018 and 2024. She has also been long listed for a number of art prizes such as John Moores 2020, Jacksons Art Prize 2022 and 2023. Her work is currently held in private collections in Australia, Austria, Hong Kong, Mexico, UK and USA. Jones' practice delves into the female experience through the constructs of paint and film. Drawing from cinematic source imagery-particularly obscure 1950s-1990s B-movies-as well as her own photographs, Jones re-contextualizes women and objects, transforming them into anonymised figures and still lives. These subjects inhabit fractured, fabricated environments. Liberated from their initial mediums and planes of existence, they are absorbed into the painted realm Jones has cultivated throughout her oeuvre. Here, their context is reconstructed, their worlds reshaped, allowing them to serve as cyphers for the viewer-glimpses into layered narratives of lived experience, open to examination.

HUMMEL JOHANN NEPOMUK: (1778-1837) Austrian Composer and virtuoso Pianist. He was a pupil of Mozart, Salieri and Haydn and he significantly influenced later piano music of the 19th century, particularly in the works of Chopin and Liszt. A good A.L.S., `J. Hummel´, one page, 8vo, n.p., 4th May 1825, to Monsieur Norblin, in French. Hummel reports on the program he is considering for his concert performance and asks his correspondent for scores, stating `Je compte d´exécuter dans mon Concert aux Menus-plaisirs le 15 Mai à 2 heures, aux Variations concertante que vous connaissez probablement déjà; je vous prie de me les accompagner; c´est un morceau d´effet que je désire donner...´ (Translation: "I intend to perform in my Concert at the Menus-plaisirs on May 1h5 at 2 o'clock, the Variations concertante that you probably already know; I ask you to send to me; it is an effect piece that I wish to perform...") Further and to a postscriptum, Hummel says `Est-ce que je vous aurais peut-être déjà donnés la partie du violoncelle de la dite Variation, parce que elle me manque?´ (Translation: "Have I perhaps already given you the cello part of the said Variation, because I am missing it?") With address leaf. Left edge with small professional repair. G

LES SIX: An interesting group of A.Ls.S. (2) and autograph statements signed by each of the composers collectively known as Les Six, a group of musicians informally associated with Jean Cocteau and Erik Satie, and who worked and lived in the Montparnasse district of Paris in the years following World War I. The lot comprises -(i) Georges Auric (1899-1983) French composer. Autograph statement signed, Georges Auric, one page, 8vo, n.p., n.d. (1951), in French. The composer writes, in full, ´Voici donc "le Groupe des Six" une fois encore réuni, à la faveur d´une exposition dont l´intention est si charmante et si cordiale qu´elle nous permettra, je l´esperè, d´en parler sans etre aussitot accusé d´une fatuité ou d´une vanité qui seraient aujourd´hui assez irsupportables! Remontant à cette occasion la Machine à explorer le Temps, que vois-je tout de suite qui, dans tout cela, me semble le plus saisissant? Non plus un "groupe" de musiciens desireux, "vingt ans après", de reprendre je ne sais trop quelles controverses esthétiques. Mais six camarades qui ont la très grande chance de se retrouver maintenant comme ils se retrouvaient naguère - et dont l´amitié n´a jamais changé. Voila, me semble-t´il, la plus belle leçon de cette petite exposition. Et c´est pourquoi je me rejouis d´y participer´ (Translation: ´So here is the ‘Group of Six’ once again reunited, thanks to an exhibition whose intention is so charming and so cordial that it will allow us, I hope, to talk about it without immediately being accused of a conceit or vanity that would be quite unbearable today! Going back to the Time Machine on this occasion, what do I see immediately that, in all this, seems to me the most striking? No longer a ‘group’ of musicians eager, ‘twenty years later’, to resume I don't know what aesthetic controversies. But six friends who are very lucky to be together now as they were in the past - and whose friendship has never changed. That, it seems to me, is the most important lesson of this little exhibition. And that is why I am delighted to be taking part´).(ii) A.L.S., Georges Auric, to the recto of a printed correspondence card as President of the Société des Auteurs, Compositeurs & Éditeurs de Musique, Paris, 28th November 1972, to a friend, in French. Auric writes, in part, ´Merci pour cette réédition des "Bagatelles" - qui me rajeunit singulierement. Je souhaite vous exprimer tout cela beaucoup mieux que dans ces quelques lignes qui d´ailleurs vous parviendront Dieu sait avec quel retard (parce qu´une nouvelle greve commence aujourd´hui!..)´ (Translation: ´Thank you for this reissue of ‘Bagatelles’ - which makes me feel remarkably young. I would like to express all this to you much better than in these few lines, which will reach you God knows how late (because a new strike starts today!)´ ).(iii) Louis Durey (1888-1979) French composer. Autograph statement signed, Louis Durey, one page, oblong 8vo, n.p., n.d. (1951), in French. Durey writes, in full, ´Quoi qu´aient pu dire certains esprits chagrins, le Groupe des Six aura marqué une étape importante dans l´évolution de la musique francaise. Significatif à cet égard, ce 34e anniversaire où chacun apporte le fruit de son labeur personnel à une petite communauté définitivement scellée par une amitié et une estime réciproque´ (Translation: ´Whatever some naysayers may have said, the Group of Six marked an important stage in the evolution of French music. Significant in this respect is the 34th anniversary, when each member brings the fruit of his personal labour to a small community definitively sealed by friendship and mutual esteem´).(iv) A.L.S., Louis Durey, two pages, 8vo, Rue Boissonade, Paris, 9th January 1952, to a gentleman, in French. Durey writes to his correspondent following a telephone conversation and gives his full consent ´ pour que les documents que je vous ai confiés en vue de l´exposition du "Groupe des Six" figurent dans une série d´expositions à l´etranger´ (Translation: ´for the documents that I entrusted to you for the ‘Groupe des Six’ exhibition to be included in a series of exhibitions abroad´), further adding ´Toutefois je desirerais que les manuscrits de musique dont je ne possède pas de doubles soient photocopiés ou microfilmés avant leur départ. Ce sont, par ordre de préférence: 1. La partition de "l´Occasion" 2. La Fantaisie concertante pour violoncelle et orchestre, ou les deux au cas où serait prévu l´envoi de plusieurs oeuvres. Je désirerais d´autre part retenir les partitions des trois cantates: La Guerre et la Paix, La Longue Marche, Paix aux Hommes par millions dont je pourrais avoir à disposer ici´ (Translation: ´However, I would like the music manuscripts, of which I do not have duplicates, to be photocopied or microfilmed before they are sent. These are, in order of preference: 1. The score of ‘l'Occasion’ 2. The Fantaisie concertante for cello and orchestra. Or both if several works are to be sent. I would also like to have the scores of the three cantatas: War and Peace, The Long March, Peace to Men by the Millions that I may have available here´). Two file holes to the left edge and with a few small, minor tears to the edges.(v) Arthur Honegger (1892-1955) Swiss composer. Autograph statement signed, A Honegger, one page, oblong 8vo, n.p., n.d. (1951), in French. Honegger writes, in full, ´Voici ce que me suggére le trentieme anniversaire de notre groupe des Six: D´abord la satisfaction de nous retrouver aussi amicalement liés que par le passé et toujours aussi different dans nos gouts et nos conceptions. De sentir chez certains cadets ou vieux critiques la confirmation de l´opinion que je me plais a repéter: En musique on passe sans transition de l´etat de jeune fumiste ou de jeune espoir à celui de vieux maitre ou de vieux fossile bon pour la retraite. Que, fort heureusement les interessés n´en soupçonnent rien´ (Translation: ´Here is what the thirtieth anniversary of our group of six suggests to me: First, the satisfaction of finding ourselves as amicably connected as in the past and still as different in our tastes and conceptions. To feel in some younger or older critics confirmation of the opinion that I like to repeat: In music, one passes without transition from the state of young upstart or young hopeful to that of old master or old fossil good for retirement. That, fortunately, those concerned suspect nothing of this´).(vi) Darius Milhaud (1892-1974) French composer and conductor. Autograph statement signed, Milhaud, one page, small 8vo, n.p., n.d. (1951), in French.

Full-Size Cello with Modern Fine TunersThis is a full-size (4/4) cello featuring a traditional classical design, likely crafted from maple and spruce with a reddish-brown varnish. The front body displays smooth symmetrical curvatures, two f-holes, a maple bridge, and a black composite or plastic tailpiece fitted with four fine tuners. The neck features a polished wooden finish leading to a smooth, ebony fingerboard running up to a neatly carved scroll with four ebony tuning pegs.The back of the cello showcases a flame-maple pattern, varnished in golden and warm brown hues with inlaid purfling along the edges. The connection between the neck and body reflects seamless craftsmanship, featuring a gently arched back. Visible wear, minor scratches, and scuffs suggest regular use but maintained condition. Dating this instrument, it is consistent with mid-20th century to early 21st century designs featuring modern fine tuners. Key details like internal labels or maker’s marks, accessible through the f-holes, would assist in verifying provenance and age. The piece is suited for student or intermediate usage. Total dimensions approximate standard full-size cello measurements of 48 inches in height.
