Pair: Lieutenant L. H. Forrest, Royal Flying Corps and 47th Sikhs, a DH9 pilot of 27 Squadron who was shot down, wounded and taken Prisoner of War whilst trying to carry out a raid on the bridge at Voyenne, as part of the first day of the Battle of Amiens British War and Victory Medals (Lieut. L. H. Forrest. R.A.F.) minor edge bruising, generally nearly very fine (2) £300-£400 --- Lionel Hugh Forrest was born in May 1897, the son of H. E. Forrest, a musical instrument dealer. Forrest was educated at Bishop Vesey’s School, Sutton Coldfield. He was commissioned Second Lieutenant in the 47th Sikhs in November 1915, and advanced to Lieutenant later the following year. Forrest transferred to the Royal Flying Corps in early 1917, and carried out initial training as a pilot. He was posted as a pilot for operational flying with 27 Squadron (D.H.9’s) on the Western Front in July 1918. The Squadron was tasked with bombing and reconnaissance operations, and Forrest often found himself crewed with Lieutenant S. W. P. Foster-Sutton as his Observer. The fate of the pair is described in The Flying Elephants: The History of No. 27 Squadron RFC/RAF 1915 to 1969, by Chaz Bowyer: ‘By the end of July preparations were complete for the first main Allied offensive since the perilous days of March 1918. Accordingly at the beginning of August, IX Brigade left the French zone, 27 Squadron moving to Beauvois on August 8. This same day saw the start of the Battle of Amiens and 27 were in action immediately. Just after dawn fourteen DHs attacked St. Christ aerodrome in the Peronne sector, while at mid-day a mixed force of DH4’s and 9’s bombed bridges over the Somme at Bethencourt, Voyennes and Offoy from low level. Once lightened of their bombs all aircraft dropped down to deck-level and completed their sorties by strafing German troops, transport and emplacements with machine-gun fire. German fighters scoured the whole battle front offering fanatical resistance to the Allied aircraft, among them the Richthofen “Circus” which claimed thirteen victims on that date. None of these belonged to 27 but the squadron was attacked by a flight from Jasta 29 and lost three bombers. These were DH9 D 1719 (to Oberleutnant H. Auffarth), DH9 D 7317 (Vizefeldwebel Gregor) and DH4 B 2133 (victor unknown). Of the crews, Lts. H. M. Brown, L. H. Forest [sic] and S. W. P. Foster-Sutton survived as prisoners of the Germans.’ Both Forrest and Foster-Sutton were wounded, and taken Prisoner of War by the Germans. Their aircraft was claimed as shot down by the German Ace Lieutnant Richard Wentzl of Jasta 6. Forrest was repatriated in December 1918, and relinquished his temporary commission in the R.A.F. to return to the Indian Army in October 1919. In later life resided at Old Parrs, Middletown, Welshpool. Sold with extensive copied research, Combat Reports, ORB entries etc.
After JOHN WILLIAM GODWARD, British (18651-1922), 'Reverie of the Days of Sappho', marble, probably French or Italian, late 19th century, white statuary marble, with other coloured marbles, unsigned, modelled as a young classical lady seated with one arm raised leaning on the bench, the other holding a rolled manuscript, her lyre beside her, 50cm high, 67cm wide. Although unsigned, this sculpture appears to be based on the work of Godward's "Reverie of the Days of Sappho". He painted numerous artworks depicting beautiful women, usually seated or draped over a marble bench. Perhaps collected as a Grand Tour style piece late in the 19th century. Sappho was an ancient Greek lyric poet and known in antiquity for her Love poems. Sappho from the Isle of Lesbos wrote widely and included the love between women, introducing the term Lesbian to modern day culture. In this piece Sappho is depicted contemplating love, holding her poetry in hand and with Lyre, a stringed musical instrument, beside her. She is sitting on a Roman style garden bench, much emulated in grand gardens today.
Walzenspieldose"Sublime-Harmonie Tremlolo" mit Wechselzylindern, um 1882F.C. Lecoultre. Nr. 46254 (auf Melodienblatt), mit drei Zylindern, die jeweils acht Melodien spielen, massives vernickeltes Doppelfederwerk, Geschwindigkeitsregler geprägt "A.P. Co.", drei Kämme mit 39, 44 und 39 Tönen (eine Spitze fehlt, ca. 11 Zähne und 1 Spitze ersetzt), ebonisiertes Gehäuse mit Messingbändern und eingelegtem Schriftzug "Genève 1882" auf Front und Deckel, muschelförmige Ormolu-Griffe und emailliertes Wappen mit Motto: "Virtus Mille Scuta" ("Tugend ist gleich tausend Schwerter"), auf passendem Tisch mit Walzenschublade und geschwungenen Beinen mit geschnitztem Farn- und Blattwerkrelief, Breite mit Tisch 128 cm, Walzenbreite 43,5 cm, spielender Zustand. - Der Spieldose liegen das Melodienblatt und die Bedienungsanleitung bei, letztere mit dem Vermerk "A. Perrelet et Cie". Die erste Walze ist geistlichen Liedern gewidmet, die zweite und dritte überwiegend Opernwerken von Meyerbeer, Gounod, Verdi, Weber und anderen, darunter die Ouvertüren aus "Freischütz" und "Zampa". Auguste Perrelet et Cie, deren Initialen auf dem Regler zu finden sind, übernahmen 1871 das Geschäft von F.C. Lecoultre und führten die bestehenden Seriennummern bis zur Schließung im Jahr 1900 fort (H.A.V. Bulleid, "Tune Sheets"). - Literatur: Abgebildet in Jan Brauers, "Von der Aeolsharfe zum Digitalspieler", S. 163. - Brauers gibt an, daß diese Spieluhr das Geschenk eines spanischen Grafen an Königin Victoria anläßlich ihres Geburtstags oder eines Jubiläums war. Das Jahr 1882 markiert den 45. Jahrestag der Thronbesteigung Victorias. Unabhängig davon, ob Brauers' Behauptung zutrifft, deuten die imposanten Ausmaße der Spieldose, ihr luxuriöses Gehäuse, das Wappen und die Angabe von Datum und Standort auf ein Instrument hin, das zu Präsentations- oder Ausstellungszwecken hergestellt wurde. Das Instrument stammt aus einer Versteigerung von Asservaten des Königshauses in den 1980er Jahren in London. Start Price: EUR 5500 Zustand: (3/3)Interchangeable "Sublime-Harmonie Tremlolo" Musical Box, a Presentation Model, c. 1882F.C. Lecoultre. No. 46254 (on tune-sheet), with three cylinders playing eight airs each, massive nickel-plated double-spring movement, governor-cock stamped "A.P. Co.", three combs of 39, 44 and 39 teeth (missing one tip, approx. eleven replacement teeth and one replacement tip), ebonized case with brass stringing and inlaid legend "Genève 1882" on front and lid, shell-form ormolu handles and enameled crest with motto: "Virtus Mille Scuta" ("Virtue is equal to a thousand swords"), on matching table with cylinder-storage drawer and cabriole legs with carved fern-and-foliate relief, wd. including table 50 ½ in. (128 cm), cylinders 17 in. (43.5 cm), playing condition. - Note: Accompanying the musical box are the tune-sheet and operating instructions, the latter with credit "A. Perrelet et Cie". The first cylinder is devoted to sacred airs, the second and third to predominantly operatic works by Meyerbeer, Gounod, Verdi, Weber and others, including the overtures from "Freyschütz" and "Zampa". Auguste Perrelet et Cie, whose initials are found on the governor-cock, took over the business of F.C. Lecoultre in 1871 and continued their existing serial numbers until closure in 1900 (H.A.V. Bulleid, "Tune Sheets"). - Literature: Illustrated in Jan Brauers, "Von der Aeolsharfe zum Digitalspieler", p. 163. - Brauers states that this musical box was the gift of a Spanish count to Queen Victoria on the occasion of her birthday or jubilee. The year 1882 marked the 45th anniversary of Victoria’s ascension to the throne. Whether Brauers’ assertion is correct, the imposing scale of the musical box, its deluxe case, the crest and the delineation of date and location suggest an instrument produced for presentation or exhibition purposes. The instrument comes from an auction in the 1980s in London from the estate of the royal family. Start Price: EUR 5500 Condition: (3/3)
Musikalische Automatenbüste einer äthiopischen Lyra-Spielerin von Gustave Vichy, um 1890Mit Pappmaché-Kopf, offenem lächelndem Mund, braunen Glasaugen mit beweglichen Lidern, schwarzer Original-Mohairperücke und einem einzelnen halbmondförmigen Ohrring, auf ebonisiertem Sockel mit Melodienzettel und geprägter Metallplakette: "G. Vichy, Paris, 5 Articles Français, Marque Deposé, Modele Deposé", der Torso mit Federwerkmotor und Walzenspielwerk für 2 Melodien, in goldfarbenem Seidenkostüm mit Metallstickerei, Kopfschmuck und Dekor mit Original-Münzen, Höhe 51 cm einschließlich Kopfschmuck, mit eichelförmigem Stopp/Start-Hebel und modernem Schlüssel, Oberfläche der Vorderseite restauriert, guter funktionierender und spielender Zustand. - Dies ist Teil einer Serie von Vichy-Automaten, die an die polychrom bemalten Bronzebüsten französischer Künstler wie Émile Guillemin und Charles Cordier erinnern. Der Eindruck einer bewegenden Skulptur wird durch die anmutige Modellierung des Gesichts und der Hände sowie durch den schlanken Sockel in Anlehnung an die Bronzebüsten noch verstärkt. Von der Wahl des Themas über den Stil des Kostüms bis hin zum Instrument, das sie spielt, wurde der Automat von der Faszination des 19. Jahrhunderts für Exotik beeinflußt, die afrikanische Kulturen aus der europäischen Perspektive darstellte. - Die Musikerin dreht und neigt ihren Kopf sanft nach links und rechts, blinzelt und scheint das Instrument mit einer Zupfbewegung des rechten Arms zu spielen. - Dieses Exemplar wurde von David Secrett und Margaret Glover liebevoll restauriert. - Literatur: Q. David Bowers, "Encyclopedia of Automatic Musical Instruments", S. 80, für ein identisches Stück, einen von mehreren französischen Automaten im Katalog des Händlers Gustav Uhlig aus Halle, Sachsen.

Vichy, Paris, 5 Articles Français, Marque Deposé, Modele Deposé", the torso containing going-barrel motor and two-air cylinder movement, in gold silk costume with metallic embroidery, headdress and the original coin decoration, ht. 20 in. (51 cm) including headdress, with acorn-form stop / start and modern key, surface of face restored, good working and playing condition. - Note: Part of a series of Vichy automata reminiscent of the polychrome-painted bronze busts by French artists such as Émile Guillemin and Charles Cordier. The impression of an animated sculpture is heightened by the graceful modelling of the face and hands and the slender plinth base in imitation of its bronze counterparts. From the choice of subject, to the style of costume and the instrument she plays, the automaton was influenced by a 19th century fascination with 'exoticism' that reflected African cultures through a European lens. - The musician turns and gently bows her head to the left and right, blinks and appears to play the instrument with a lifting and plucking motion of the right arm. - This example has been sympathetically restored by David Secrett and Margaret Glover. - Literature: Q. David Bowers, Encyclopedia of Automatic Musical Instruments, p. 80, for an identical piece, one of several French automata in the catalog of retailer Gustav Uhlig of Halle, Saxony.
