[AUSTEN (JANE)] – ADMIRAL SIR FRANCIS WILLIAM AUSTEN & CASSANDRA ELIZA AUSTENAlbum relating to Jane Austen's elder brother Admiral Sir Francis William Austen (1774-1865) and his daughter Cassandra Eliza Austen (1814-1849), containing some 73 landscape and maritime watercolours and drawings depicting scenes in the West Indies, Bermuda and Canada, comprising c.12 topographical reliefs probably by Francis ('Porto Santo', 'Peak of Teneriffe at Sunset April 3rd', 'St Lucia', 'Souffriere Mountain, St Vincent', 'Guadaloupe'); and 12 signed with the initials 'C.E.A.' and many dated ('St Pierre, Martinique, Feb 14 1846. French Steamer Styx', 'Port Royal at Sunset March 19 47', 'Halifax from the road to Point Pleasant, Sept 3rd 47', 'Kingston and Port Royal, Jamaica'); further drawings of shipping ('HMS Illustrious & Persian/ Bermuda', ''HMS Pickle') and landscapes abroad ('Clarence Hill Bermuda May 27 1845' (2), 'Shultzs Inn Great Lake Halifax', 'Quebec') and at home ('Godmersham Church', 'Godmersham Park, Kent') with a portrait of a young gentleman; plus 45 photographs of European landscapes etc., twentieth-century ownership inscriptions in pencil on inner front board, pencil, pen and watercolour, half calf, marbled boards, worn, drawings 175 x 254mm. and smaller, album 225 x 300mm.), [1845-1848]; with document dated 9 March 1860 confirming the position of the Austen family plot in Brompton Cemetery ('No.9669 on the plan of the said cemetery') and official Notice of Intestacy of Martha Austen nee Lloyd (first wife of Francis William Austen), dated 3 April 1843Footnotes:JANE AUSTEN'S NIECE RECORDS TRAVELS WITH HER FATHER IN THE WEST INDIES AND CANADA. Admiral Sir Francis William Austen, brother of Jane Austen, enjoyed a long and distinguished career in the Navy during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, and his memoir, offered in the present sale, describes in detail the many actions he encountered. After peace with France he served as Commander in Chief of the North America and West Indies Station from 1845-1848, when the scenes in this album were painted. In his memoir he describes at length the various places visited during this appointment including Bermuda, Nova Scotia and a Saratoga, where he found the men coarse and the women lacking modesty and decorum. Francis, by his own volition, enjoyed considerable talents in the area of topographical drawing and it is supposed that those drawings in the album are his ('...Capt A from a very early period of his Naval Life had given great attention to Hydrography, never missing an opportunity of doing something of the sort wherever he went...'). Many of the other works are likely to be by his unmarried daughter Cassandra Eliza (1814-1849), who travelled with him, along with her sister Fanny. Indeed, his ship Vindictive (1844-1848) could well be described as a 'family ship', with his sons Herbert and George and his cousin Charles Jnr, also taking positions on board. The artist who painted these delicate watercolours was described in far from glowing terms by a young Lieutenant, William King-Hall in his diary: '...An amused and amusing witness... Cassandra, a woman of forty features as 'Miss Vindictive' and the 'atmosphere' on board was 'dangerous'. If the ship's captain (Michael Seymour) were to leave 'Cass would be the Adl. and commanding officer'... In a later entry when the Vindictive had reached Bermuda, he observed that 'She is the Mistress of the Ship, influences the Adl. in every way, and in fact, I imagine will soon be Commander in Chief'. Such, he commented, were the 'evils of a Family Ship'...' (Brian Southam, Jane Austen and the Navy, 2000, p.320). Also of note in the album are two delicate pencil sketches of Godmersham, the seat of Edward Austen Knight, Jane Austen's eldest brother.A pencil inscription on the front paste-down by a descendant and dated February 1972 erroneously attributes the signed watercolours to Cassandra Esten Austen (1808-1897), daughter of Francis' other 'sailor brother', Charles, and great favourite of Jane Austen, not to be confused of course with her aunt Cassandra Elizabeth (1773-1845), Jane Austen's sister. Cassandra Esten also accompanied her father on his voyages and by all accounts had a similar childhood and upbringing as her cousin Cassandra Eliza (see 'Cassandra Esten Austen, Naval Childhood during the Napoleonic Wars', online blog by Sheila Johnson Kindred).Provenance: Admiral Sir Francis William Austen (1774-1865); his son Rev. Edward Thomas Austen (1820-1908); thence by descent to the present owner.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

SCHUBERT (FRANZ)TELTSCHER (JOSEF) Portrait drawing of Schubert, Anselm Hüttenbrenner and Johann Baptist Jenger, black and red chalk on paper, tipped onto mount with 2 small tabs on reverse, 160 x 206mm., [c.1827]Footnotes:ONE OF A SMALL NUMBER OF SCHUBERT LIFETIME PORTRAITS: JOSEF TELTSCHER'S 'DIE DREI FREUNDE' REDISCOVERED.The image of the 'three friends', Schubert, Anselm Hüttenbrenner and Johann Baptist Jenger, is well known and often considered to include one of the most accurate depictions of Schubert. The exact dating of this portrait remains unclear, as does its relationship to Teltscher's lithographs of Schubert on his own, but it was certainly drawn during Schubert's last two years, which were spent largely in Vienna but with one excursion to Graz in September 1827. It was a period of great creativity and compositional innovation, the composer reaching new artistic heights with works such as the Winterreise cycle, the Impromptus, the Piano Trio No. 2 and the two last symphonies. It was also a period with huge ups and downs in terms of his physical and mental health, his pecuniary situation, and his social life. Luckily Schubert had a circle of close friends and advocates around him, and the frequent 'Schubertiads', were immensely important in sustaining him through the difficult times and in fuelling his creativity.Two of Schubert's closest friends from Graz were the composer Anselm Hüttenbrenner, a friend of Beethoven, and his brother Josef. Anselm wrote his memoirs of Schubert in 1854, and though he admitted that many names had slipped his memory and that he had burned his Vienna diary, he stated that he had 'made Schubert's acquaintance in the year 1815 at the Imperial Court Kapellmeister Salieri's [sic]... we visited each other very frequently, are fond of one another, and became intimate friends and brothers' (Schubert. Memoirs by His Friends, edited by Otto Erich Deutsch, 1958, p.178). Schubert composed a fine set of variations on a theme of Anselm's, who also helped him by arranging symphonies for piano and handling some of his affairs. It was Hüttenbrenner's requiem in C minor that was chosen to be performed at Schubert's memorial service on 23 December 1828.The third of the 'friends' is Johann Baptist Jenger, composer, musician and board member of the influential Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna. Like the Hüttenbrenner brothers in Graz, he worked hard to make Schubert's works known in Vienna, and he also arranged the trip to Graz in 1827 to introduce him to the pianist Marie Pachler and her husband Karl, a trip that was postponed from 1826 because Schubert didn't have the money. An entry from Karl Pachler's cash-book dated 16 September 1827: 'several Schubertiads were held in the Pachler house. But for the most part Schubert had to be his own singer... and he frequently played pianoforte duets with Jenger' (Otto Deutsch, Schubert: A Documentary Biography, translated by Eric Blom, 1946).The artist Josef Eduard Teltscher was also an integral member of the Schubert circle of friends. Born in Prague in 1801, he was considered a very gifted portrait painter, but little is known about him before he came to Vienna, where from 1825 to 1829 he mainly devoted himself to the relatively new process of lithography, working from his studio. After Schubert's death, Teltscher went to live with the Pachlers in Graz, developing his own technique of watercolour miniatures to some acclaim, but in 1837 he was to drown during a trip to Greece which he had undertaken with Jenger. Amongst the sketchbooks he left is one containing his pencil drawings of the dying Beethoven on his bed in March 1827, now held at the British Library (Stefan Zweig MS 207). Some accounts state that Schubert was also present with the Hüttenbrenner brothers, but there is no evidence to suggest the two great composers ever met, although Schubert was one of the torch-bearers at Beethoven's funeral.Given that Teltscher was devoting himself to the art of lithography at the time, it is not surprising that his first recorded portrait of Schubert is a lithograph which can be dated to late 1825 from the diaries of the Viennese salonière Sophie Müller. Numerous extracts from these are quoted by Deutsch, including 'In the evening... there was singing... Teltscher brought Schubert lithographed' (11 January 1826, op. cit., p.503), and 'Teltscher, Jenger and Hüttenbrenner came at midday; they brought me the lithographed portrait of Schubert' (24 January, p.505). The following day Jenger and Schubert returned again for dinner, and the latter 'sang new songs' - this on the same day as the first rehearsal of the Death and the Maiden quartet at the home of the violinists Karl and Franz Hacker, two years after it was composed (p.506).According to Maurice J.E. Brown (Essay on Schubert, 1966), the lithograph referred to was the one published by Mansfeld & Co. after Schubert's death, adding that 'copies of the original pressings and of the two later editions are extremely rare'. However, in her 1993 article on the Teltscher portraits ('Schubert und der Maler Josef Teltscher,' in: Schubert durch die Brille, 11 June 1993, pp.118-132), Rita Steblin suggests that the one published in 1828 is a second version dating from that year. Whether it was made in 1825 or 1828, it was the image chosen by his friends to sell in aid of raising funds for Schubert's memorial, and as their abiding memory of him. Certainly, the Wiener allgemeine Theaterzeitung of April 23, 1829 considered it the most successful in 'depicting the true character of Schubert, that of an innocent, childlike, pious and upright spirit'.The present chalk portrait of 'Die Drei Freunde' is generally described as having been drawn in around 1827. Deutsch dated it to that year because Hüttenbrenner visited Vienna in March, but he used to make the journey frequently and the drawing may equally have been made in 1828, the year the resulting lithograph was published by Mansfeld & Co.Although Teltscher had produced lithographs all of the three friends individually, Rita Steblin points out that he clearly drew Hüttenbrenner and Jenger anew for this portrait, both men appearing slightly older, and speculates that the same might be true of Schubert ('Ist es dann nicht wahrscheinlich, dass Teltscher auch Schubert neu ge­zeichnet hat?').Provenance:According to different accounts the portrait was either drawn for Karl von Schönstein, or was bought by him after the composer's death. Schönstein (1797-1876) was one of the Esterhazy circle and considered the finest singer of Schubert's songs - the 'Schöne Müllerin' were dedicated to him. By 1892, when the drawing was photographed in order to make the colour print by which it is generally know, it was in the possession of his niece Ida von Schweitzer (née von Keyle), of Lengefeld near Krems, Schubert having been a frequent visitor to the family. The drawing was included in the 1897 Vienna Schubert Exhibition and subsequently hung at the family home at Gneixendorf; in 1966 it was recorded as being in the possession of Baron Otto von Schweitzer of Sterbfritz-bei-Schlüchtern in Germany. Despite often being described as 'lost', it has passed down by descent to the present owners.Illustrated: Otto Erich Deutsch, Schubert: A Documentary Biography, translated by Eric Blom, 1946, plate XXVIII.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Moercheson's survey', framed and glazedQTY: (1)NOTE:Provenance: Private Collection, Gloucestershire, UK.Almora, the capital of Kumaon, sits on a saddle-ridge of the Himalayas, 5494 feet above sea level. The town was captured by the Gurkhas in 1790, who constructed a fort on the eastern extremity of the ridge. Almora was the scene of a British victory which terminated the war with Nepal in April 1815, and which resulted in the evacuation of Kumaon by the Gurkhas and the annexation of the province by the British. The British Library holds a number of watercolour views by Hyder Hearsey of the lower reaches of the Himalayas, including two which are captioned Almorah No.1 and Almorah No.5, as in the present work. Two similar views of Almora, also on the same scale, were offered at Christie's, London, Exploration and Travel with Visions of India, 21 September 2000, lot 283.Hyder Young Hearsey was the son of Captain Harry Hearsey, an English officer in the Maratha service who fell at the head of his cavalry regiment in the battle of Merta, in 1790. Hyder was educated in England, and at an early age followed in his father's footsteps, being appointed a cadet in the Maratha service before his seventeenth birthday, and receiving promotion a few months later to the rank of ensign, for good service in the field. He was kindly treated by General Perron, the French commander-in-chief of the Maratha army, but, like other Englishmen in that service, soon found his position uncomfortable, and entered the army of the celebrated George Thomas, Raja of Hansi. With the outbreak of the Nepal War in 1814, Lord Moira, Governor General, decided to attack Kumaon as a diversion from a number of unsuccessful advances towards Kathmandu. Hearsey was in command of a small body of irregulars and advanced in February 1815 from Pilibhit up the Kali into the hills, capturing Champavat in March 1815. Underestimating the fighting power of the Gurkhas, he was wounded, captured and imprisoned at Almora until its surrender at the end of April 1815. Hearsey accompanied two expeditions, through the hill country and in to Tibet, to discover the source of the Ganges. The first was in 1808 with Lieutenant Webb and Captain Raper. During the second, in 1812, he and William Moorcroft became the first Europeans to reach the sacred lake of Manasarowar.
