Here, Miss Esther Ralston the famous screen star and variety artist … placed the coronet on the head of Muriel Camberg, and kissed her …’). Together with an Edinburgh Heather Club manuscript ledger book of members, outings, etc., c.1898 (partly filled, contents water-stained) and an attendance book for the 1960s-70s (6) The Edinburgh Heather Club was founded in 1823 by Joseph Sutherland, a local merchant, originally as a walking club focused on outings in the Pentland Hills. The scope of the club's expedition expanded with the advent of the railway, and in time they also assumed a variety of social and charitable responsibilities, including a yearly poetry competition of which the 1932 edition was won by a young Muriel Camberg, known to posterity as Muriel Spark, who recalled the occasion in her 1992 autobiography Curriculum Vitae: ‘It was 1932, the year of the centenary of the death of Sir Walter Scott. A poetry competition was launched among the schools of Edinburgh by the Heather Club, a men’s club founded in 1823 (for what purpose I do not know, except that it was very Scottish). I won first prize with my poem about Sir Walter Scott, and another girl at Gillespie's got third prize. The school was doubly jubilant; everyone was delighted … I felt like the Dairy Queen of Dumfries, but I endured the experience and survived it'. An Edinburgh Heather Club captain's baton was sold by Lyon & Turnbull in our Scottish Works of Art and Whisky sale on 21 August 2021 (lot 243).

A Great War ‘German Spring Offensive’ M.M. and Second Award Bar group of four awarded to Lance-Corporal W. Ready, Northumberland Fusiliers Military Medal, G.V.R., with Second Award Bar (13-5947 Pte. W. Ready. 9/North’d Fus:); 1914-15 Star (5947 Pte. W. Ready. North’d Fus:) unofficially re-engraved; British War and Victory Medals (5947 Pte. W. Ready. North’d Fus.) edge bruise and light contact marks to MM, nearly very fine and better (4) £500-£700 --- M.M. London Gazette 6 August 1918. The Fusiliers Museum of Northumberland, adds: ‘For gallantry in the field on 21/22 March 1918 in operations near St. Ledger.’ M.M. Second Award Bar London Gazette 7 October 1918. Walter Ready was born in Newcastle on 11 June 1892 and worked as a builder’s labourer in Blaydon, Tyne and Wear. Posted to the 13th (Service) Battalion, Northumberland Fusiliers, he proceeded to France on 9 September 1915 and joined the British assault at the Battle of Loos, notably the action of 26 September 1915 at Chalk Pit Wood. Sometime transferred to the 9th Battalion, Ready was present in the trenches on the morning of 21 March 1918 when the Germans launched a devastating artillery bombardment followed by an infantry assault over a ridge known as the Hog’s Back. The Battalion War Diary confirms heavy engagement, the scene being temporarily stabilised via a counter-barrage by the Royal Field Artillery. Further attacks continued into the early hours of the next morning and it soon became clear that the positions of the 9th Battalion were untenable; Brigade orders were therefore issued at 8.15pm for a retirement west towards the village of Hamelincourt. The Battalion War Diary lists Ready alongside 18 comrades as awarded the Military Medal for this action. Relocated from Hamelincourt to Armentieres, the Battalion survivors spent April 1918 engaging in defensive measures, most likely the reinforcement of strong points, maintenance of the trench network and wire, and camouflaging of positions to prevent aerial attack. On 9 April 1918 the enemy launched a dawn barrage on the Northumberland’s positions using gas shells; advancing a midday, the storm troopers soon captured Bois Grenier and the ground around Nieppe and Armentieres; this included street fighting in the village of Neuve Eglise where every cellar was bitterly fought over using grenades and small arms. On 16 April 1918 the 9th Battalion launched a successful counterattack, followed by a successful holding action the next day which drove off lines of fast moving enemy infantry; Ready is listed once more in the Battalion War Diary alongside men who ‘distinguished themselves in the fighting’ and had done ‘exceptionally well’. Awarded a Second Award Bar to the M.M., Ready remained in the trenches and is noted by the Fusiliers Museum as having been wounded in May 1918. This is confirmed in the St. George’s Gazette of 31 May 1918. Returned home, he was discharged from the Army Reserve in 1919 and later worked as a miner in the Stargate colliery. Sold with extensive copied research, including a photographic image of the recipient.

After a well-publicised and determined duel, Warne was victorious, taking wicket number 500 on March 12, during the 1st Test in Galle. By the end of the tour, the ledger read: Warne 517 wickets, Muralitharan 513 - with West Indian great Courtney Walsh's world record of 519 wickets ready to be broken It was Muralitharan who first claimed that illustrious 'crown', passing Walsh's record during Sri Lanka's Test series against Zimbabwe in May 2004.

BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT (2008) - Batman's (Christian Bale) Production-Made Cowl - Batman's (Christian Bale) cowl from the production of Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight. Bruce Wayne wore his redesigned cowl as part of his new Batsuit in his hunt for Joker (Heath Ledger) and Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart).Designed by Lindy Hemming and created by costume supervisor Graham Churchyard and his team, the refined Batsuit incorporated a number of innovations to allow Batman to move and fight with increased agility, the most significant of which was its improved cowl. The updated design separated the headpiece from the neck, radically improving the movements of performers wearing the suit. Hemming received a BAFTA Award® nomination for her contributions to The Dark Knight.Created for production but ultimately unused in the final cut, this urethane rubber cowl features holes for the eyes, nose and mouth which have been worn down to provide extra comfort and grip during wear. Defined lines and a menacing scowl are sculpted into the brow and cheeks of the piece, to imbue it with a dread-inducing look.

A VERY RARE ORMOLU-MOUNTED WHITE MARBLE AND DERBY BISCUIT PORCELAIN MANTEL TIMEPIECEBenjamin Vulliamy, London, dated 1786The impressive group depicting a porcelain putto stepping toward the dial set into a fluted marble column on a heavy ormolu plinth signed and dated Vulliamy LONDON 1786, the stepped marble base mounted with a gilt armillary sphere, porcelain urn (with lift-off cover), books, and an array of mathematical instruments. The 4 inch white enamel dial with bead-cast gilt bezel framing the gold dotted minute track and gold Roman hour, with serpentine hands. The single gut fusee movement mounted within the column and protected by two sliding brass covers, the tall rectangular plates united by five turned pillars, deadbeat escapement to a typical lozenge-section wooden rod pendulum terminating in a heavy brass-faced bob. The backplate signed Vulliamy, London in a foliate border. 37cms (14.5ins) high. Footnotes:This clock is one of a distinctive range of clocks in white marble cases with figures in Derby biscuit porcelain that were produced in London by the firm of Vulliamy & Son in the late eighteenth century, and are now regarded as outstanding examples of British neo-classicism. They were first created in the early 1780s by Benjamin Vulliamy (1747-1811), still only a junior partner in the family firm but already the King's Clockmaker in his own right, in a determined attempt to challenge the predominance of imported French ornamental clocks in the houses of wealthy and fashionable Britons. His justification was patriotic as well as commercial, since Britain and France were then at war, following France's intervention on the side of the colonists in the American war of Independence. [1]Following the end of the war in 1783 and improved commercial relations between the two countries, Vulliamy was concerned that the market he had identified for what he described as his 'new branch of English clocks' would disappear, but in fact his project continued to be successful, leading in time to the firm making a wide range of ornamental goods to furnish the houses of the wealthy. This was due to Vulliamy's ability to select and get the best performance from a network of independent artists, suppliers and craftspeople, and also to his personal talents as a designer, sensitive to the changing tastes of his wealthy and very demanding customers, who included the King, the Prince of Wales, and other members of Britain's social elite. Vulliamy's sculptural clocks followed French fashion in their neo-classical appearance, but while contemporary French clocks used mainly bronze and ormolu for their cases and figures, Vulliamy decided to use white marble with allegorical figures in white biscuit porcelain, presumably in imitation of the Parian marble of ancient Greek and Roman statues. Vulliamy designed the figures himself, using his extensive library of works on classical art and architecture as a source [2], and had them modelled in London by a number of young sculptors who were recent Gold Medallists of the Royal Academy Schools. The models were then sent to William Duesbury's Derby Porcelain Manufactury to be made in biscuit porcelain which, given the nature of soft-paste porcelain and Vulliamy's demanding requirements, often proved to be a difficult process, particularly for his larger figures. In line with the morally uplifting tendencies of neo-classicism, these clocks were intended to convey an allegorical message through the identity and position of the figures and suitable attributes in ormolu, sometimes assisted with a classical quotation. If the meaning is not always obvious to modern eyes, it was evidently important to contemporary observers. The German traveller Sophie von La Roche, who visited Vulliamy's shop in 1786 (the date of this clock), noted that 'French artists have certainly created some fine things --- in clocks --- but I never yet saw anything so noble, simple and instructive from their hands. All the images are Greek figures in biscuit porcelain and Mr Vulliamy's physiognomy and gentle modest person hide a store of Greek ideas and moral allegory.' [3]The design of the current clock, with the clock set in a marble column accompanied by a single 'boy' and a campana-shaped vase (also in Derby biscuit), was one of the earliest used by Vulliamy. Previous to the emergence of this clock, just four of this design were known to survive, with different ormolu attributes around the column to vary the allegory. One of these clocks is dated 1783, another dated 1787 (Sotheby's 17.5.22 lot 47), and two have serial numbers dating from the late 1780s - Nos. 175 and 189 (at Chatsworth probably since purchase). (The numbering of Vulliamy's clocks began earlier but the number was not engraved on the clocks until c.1788.) It is not known who first bought the present clock, and it predates the surviving Vulliamy manufacturing records. However, it is possible to suggest the main people involved in its manufacture, since the firm continued to use the same suppliers for many years. It is probable that the high-quality movement, which has elongated plates to fit the marble column and Vulliamy's usual half-deadbeat escapement with heavy pendulum bob and ebony rod, was made by James Bullock, a clockmaker who worked at various addresses in the parish of St. Andrew Holborn up to his death in 1801. The marble column and base would have been supplied by J. Day of Brewers Row, Westminster, who was working with the Vulliamys by 1785. The biscuit porcelain figure was modelled by John Deare (1759-1798), a Royal Academy gold medallist in 1780, and as already noted, was made at the Derby factory, which also supplied the covered vase. [4]1. For a detailed study of these clocks with Derby figures based on the surviving correspondence between Vulliamy and the factory, see A.P. Ledger and Roger Smith (eds.), Benjamin Vulliamy and the Derby Porcelain Manufactory 1784-1795, Derby Museum and Art Gallery (2007). Also T.

Williams (trans.), Sophie in London. The diary of Sophie von La Roche, (1933), pp. 100-1. 4. The work of Deare and the other modellers employed on Vulliamy's sculptural clocks is discussed in Ledger and Smith. (see Note 1). It also notes that the earliest surviving Derby Day Books (1786-94) show that Vulliamy bought 12 biscuit 'boys' in 1786 (p. 110). There is no record of him buying any campana vases in those years, so he had presumably bought several earlier, when one was used on a similar clock in 1783 (p. 115).With thanks to Roger Smith.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
