A George I/II burr walnut eight-day longcase clock with moonphaseUnsigned, probably West Country, second quarter of the 18th centuryThe four finned pillar inside countwheel bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch brass break-arch dial with subsidiary seconds dial and leafy border engraved calendar aperture to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markers and Arabic five minutes to outer track, with pierced blued steel hands and crested mask centred foliate scroll cast spandrels to angles, the arch with rolling moonphase incorporating herring border and silvered scale calibrated for the lunar month to upper margin over landscape opposing armillary engraved lunettes beneath, the case with ogee cornice and blind fretwork decorated upper quadrants over break-arch glazed door flanked by integral three-quarter columns with gilt brass caps and bases, the sides with rectangular windows, the trunk with shaped arch top quarter veneered caddy moulded door with chevron strung crossbanded, on conforming truncated plinth base with ogee top moulding and moulded double skirt, 211cm (83ins) high. Provenance: Bears an old label inscribed in ink "This clock was the property of Hannah Moore of 'Cowslip Green' Wrington, Somerset, & was purchased at a sale of her furniture, supposed date of clock, 1700."Hannah Moore was a prolific poet, playwright and writer on religion and morality. Born in Stapleton, South Gloucestershire in 1745 she was the daughter of a schoolmaster who after breaking-off her six year engagement to William Turner after he kept postponing the wedding in 1773 focussed on her writing. Her poetry gained the acclaim David Garrick and Dr. Samuel Johnson proclaimed her the most powerful of English women poets after reading her work 'Bas Bleu' (Blue Stocking) in 1784. Latterly she turned towards writing moral treatises criticising fashionable society for its selfishness and immorality as well as becoming a strong voice in the anti-slavery movement exemplified by her 1788 poem 'Slavery'. By 1785 she had moved, along with her sister Martha to thatched cottage at Cowslip Green, Wrington, North Somerset before moving again to a nearby larger house in 1801. When Hannah Moore died in 1833 she left the bulk of her estate of £27,500 (equivalent to about £2m today) to various religious and medical causes.Condition Report: Movement is basically complete and appears all-original with the exception of the escapewheel and pallets which appear to be old service replacements. A spare hole to the upper front edge of the frontplate suggests that the bellstand was once fitted to the frontplate rather than the backplate. The mechanism is generally in dirty/neglected condition hence will require a clean and overhaul prior putting to use. The upper left hand corner of the frontplate (viewed from the rear) has a break across the corner around what appears to be a disused dial foot hole, it is most likely that this was done during the fitting of the dial with the maker choosing to fit the dial foot a little lower down rather than effect what would be an unsound repair.The dial is somewhat dirty/discoloured with some patchy discolouration and light wear to the finishes otherwise is in sound original condition.The movement retains on what appears to be its original seatboard (albeit with strengthening repairs to underside) which rests on the original uprights (cheeks) of the case with no evidence of alteration or other movement being fitted hence it is our opinion that the movement and dial are original to the case.The case is generally in sound condition with the only major fault being the base which has lost perhaps around 4-5 inches in height out of the box. The hood is lacking its rear quarter column from the right hand side, the corresponding column to the left side is also missing along with its 'bargeboard' strip behind. The trunk has slight bowing to the sides as well and a slight warping to the door but not to extent where it is unsightly or problematic with regards to fit and closing. The finish to the case is somewhat muddy hence would benefit from the attention of a cabinet maker/finisher. Faults are otherwise limited to minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage etc. commensurate with age and use.Clock has pendulum, weights, case key and winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

The idea was that we should have a Scout Rally there on 6th August. But there seems some doubt now as to whether they can get it up: in which case we should not come so far north – our real aim being the isle of Mull where some good fishing is promised us near Tobermory … They take a long time in making up what they are pleased to call their minds in Scotland’, 2pp., together with a second autograph letter signed, ’BadenPowell’, Pax Hill, 3 January 1932, [to Mrs Dugdale], ‘ We were all so sorry, here, my dear Miss Molly, to read of the accident to your daughter [Pamela, 1911-2001], and can only hope that she is making a good recovery.

I had thought of getting my sister and some other lady to make up the party. Will you be that other lady?…’, 2pp., together with a second autograph letter signed on the same letterhead and addressed to Miss Molly [i.e. Ellen Dugdale], 22 June 1907, ‘Thank you so much. I shall be delighted to come and dine on 2nd July. Thank you very much too for your congratulations – I shall really have [to] stand more on my dignity now [Baden-Powell had just been promoted to Lieutenant General].

Ellen Turner, later Dugdale (1875-1958) and Baden-Powell had been in amateur dramatics together while Baden-Powell was in Meerut in 1897. Baden-Powell had played the part of a Chinese man called ‘Wun-Hi' and Ellen the part of Molly Seamore in the play of The Geisha , a late Victorian Edwardian musical comedy by Sidney Jones, Lionel Monckton and Harry Greenbank. Baden-Powell remained friends with Ellen and her mother, (also Ellen, Mrs Compton Turner), addressing the daughter as 'Miss Molly' and often signing his letters to both as 'Wunhi', in reference to the characters in the play.

Provenance: Private collection, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, Mexico. Comment(s): According to “Gordon’s Photography Prices” the auction record for a silver print of this image is $50,000 realized at Phillips, New York, 4/4/2017, lot #244. “One of Bravo's most important images, this surreal photograph of wrapped carousel horses, with its enigmatic title, was taken a few years after the end of the armed struggle that had consumed Mexico for a decade and which had upended the social and political norms. Its imagery likely has overtones of that upheaval.” Image copyright © Colette Urbajtel / Archivo Manuel Alvarez Bravo, SC. [29767-2-600]
