The "Portiere of the Chariot of Triumph," also known as "The Triumphal Procession of Alexander the Great," is a remarkable piece of ancient art created during the late 15th century. It is a tapestry, not a sculpture, and is renowned for its intricate design and historical significance. Here are some key details about the "Portiere of the Chariot of Triumph":1. **Origin**: The "Portiere of the Chariot of Triumph" is a tapestry that was created in Brussels, Belgium, around 1470-1490. It is part of a group of tapestries known as "The Triumph of the Seven Virtues," and it is considered one of the masterpieces of Flemish weaving.2. **Subject Matter**: The tapestry depicts a grand procession led by the figure of Alexander the Great, the renowned ancient Greek king and conqueror. The scene is a celebration of his military achievements and victories.3. **Design and Details**: The tapestry is celebrated for its intricate design and attention to detail. It features numerous figures, animals, and elements that represent the opulence and splendor of Alexander's conquests. The central focus is on the chariot of Alexander, drawn by four horses, and Alexander himself is shown in a triumphant pose.4. **Historical Significance**: "The Triumphal Procession of Alexander the Great" reflects the fascination with classical antiquity and the revival of interest in ancient Greek and Roman history and art during the Renaissance. It captures the spirit of humanism and the celebration of great historical figures from the past.5. **Purpose**: Tapestries like this one were often commissioned for wealthy patrons, nobility, or even royal courts. They served as status symbols and were used to decorate the interiors of palaces and grand residences. They were also functional, providing insulation and helping to maintain a comfortable temperature in large stone buildings.6. **Preservation and Display**: The "Portiere of the Chariot of Triumph" is a significant artifact in art history. Today, it is housed in various museums and collections. Some parts of the series can be found in the Vatican Museums, while other sections are held by institutions such as The Cloisters in New York City.7. **Artistic Excellence**: The tapestry is an example of the skill and craftsmanship of Flemish weavers during the Renaissance period. The level of detail, use of color, and composition demonstrate the high artistic standards of the time."The Portiere of the Chariot of Triumph" is not only a beautiful work of art but also a testament to the Renaissance fascination with classical antiquity and the desire to celebrate and emulate the great figures of history. It remains a valuable piece of cultural heritage, showcasing the artistic achievements of the Flemish weaving tradition during the late 15th century.Measures 39.5 x 52.5.Cotton.

Scotland.- [Creech (William)] Letters, addressed to Sir John Sinclair, Bart. respecting the Mode of Living, Arts, Commerce, Literature, Manners, &c. of Edinburgh, in 1763..., first edition, half-title (soiled and frayed at foot, repaired), modern calf-backed marbled boards, uncut, [Goldsmiths' 15518; Kress B.2469], Edinburgh, 1763 § [Grange (James Erskine, Lord)] Reasons against the Bill before the House of Lords (For Disabling the Lord Provost of the City of Edinburgh...and for Fining the said City...), first edition, with final blank, 19th century morocco ruled in blind, rubbed, spine frayed at head, S.Osborn, 1737 § Tait (George) A Summary of the Powers and Duties of a Constable in Scotland..., third edition, advertisement leaf at end, a little soiled and browned, modern cloth-backed marbled boards, uncut, Edinburgh, 1815; and 3 others on Scotland including a bound volume of pamphlets and speeches relating to Edinburgh by the Scottish Liberal Party politician Duncan M'Laren of 1835-79 (family copy with bookplate of Lord Aberconway), 8vo (6) *** The second item was published in the aftermath of the Porteous riots in Edinburgh in September 1736. John Porteous (c.1695-1736) was the unpopular Captain of the City Guard of Edinburgh. After losing control of an angry crowd during a public execution in April 1736, a panicked Captain Porteous ordered his men to fire on the mob, killing a number of people. Tried and convicted for murder, Porteous was sentenced to be executed. Misjudging the level of popular anger, Walpole intervened on Porteous' behalf and had his execution deferred. An angry mob was able to overpower the Tolbooth prison guards, drag Porteous from his cell, and lynch him in the street. This pamphlet puts forward Lord Grange's argument, based on constitutional grounds, against the Lord Provost being held responsible and the city as a whole being fined for the actions of certain "wicked persons".

* Mosquito. Propeller tip attributed to Mosquito XVI NS795, the aircraft piloted by Flying Officer Raymond Morris Hays DFC and his Navigator Flight Sergeant Morgan Phillips, 544 Squadron were on a photo-reconnaissance sortie on the 16 March 1945 when their aircraft was attacked by enemy aircraft resulting in severe cannon and flak damage, Hays being awarded an immediate DFC, the propeller with yellow tip and severe damage, 77 cm longQTY: (1)NOTE:Provenance: The propeller tip was purchased from an online auction. According to correspondence provided by the vendor the seller explains that she lived next door to Morgan Phillips as a child and he was a family friend. The seller then bought Phillips's house after he passed away and his "war items" were left in the house. The seller also provided a black and white photograph of Phillips in civilian clothes and also remembers a Phillips and "German pilot Rolf" meeting up after the war. It seems likely that this propeller tip was a war souvenir given to Phillips and once hung on his wall.An extract supplied by the vendor is included. 'A photo-reconnaissance sortie was made on 16 March by a Mosquito from No 544 Sqn RAF. The Mosquito XVI NS795, was flown by Flg Off R M Hays and Flt Sgt M Phillips based at RAF Benson. The squadron's operations log book recorded; Gotha and Lutzendorf targets photographed then attacked by three Me 163s. Aircraft shot up and landed Lille.' This brief entry was also in more detail; 'Flg Off R M Hays DFC and Flt Sgt M Phillips had targets at Gotha, Chemitiz and Lutzendorf. Subsequently, Lutzendorf and Gotha were claimed. At 1145 hrs, flying 30,000 feet making a photographic run (with the navigator in the nose of the aircraft) on course 090 degrees over Leipzig, the pilot saw two Me 163s practically at ground level and climbing rapidly. The pilot altered course 90 degrees and opened up fully. 'Within three to five minutes both enemy aircraft were at Mosquito height (30,000 feet) and split up, one to starboard and one to port and slightly above, from which positions they attacked the Mosquito simultaneously on either beam. The pilot did a half-roll and dived vertically, attaining an IAS of 480mph pulling out at 12,000 feet. The pilot then saw that three Me 163s were attacking, one either beam approximately 500 yards from the Mosquito and the third the same distance astern, and all enemy aircraft slightly above. The pilot did not see the enemy aircraft fire but the navigator did... as the Mosquito levelled off at deck level the pilot saw his starboard engines smoking and without power - presumably as a result of a hit by cannon shells from the Me 163s. This engine was then feathered and the pilot climbed to 2000 feet ... after approximately 30 to 40 minutes flying the navigator saw a single Me 109 approaching from 1000 yards astern ... The Mosquito then dived to deck level again and then flew up and down valleys ... during this evasive action the Me 109 lost sight and made no further contact. Approximately 45 minutes later the Mosquito crossed a small unidentified town and experienced intense flak - the Mosquito sustained hits and the navigator was injured in the foot. Shortly afterwards the pilot again climbed to 2000 feet to clear high ground and to take advantage of three-tenths/five-tenths prefrontal cloud (Cu). After flying for 30 minutes American C-47s and gliders were seen on the ground ... and the pilot decided to carry on... Mayday calls were made on all channels without result... the pilot was unaware that the starboard tyre was punctured by cannon shells and as soon as he touched down the aircraft swung violently to starboard, both port and starboard undercarriage legs collapsed, and the Mosquito was severely damaged. Inspection of the aircraft revealed damage by cannon shells - presumably from Me 163s . One shell passed through the starboard engine nacelle, another through the starboard engine near the boss ...A flak shell also hit the blade of the starboard propeller, spraying the fuselage and starboard engine with fragments.Flying Officer R M Hays was awarded an immediate DFC for this actionDFC London Gazette 24 April 1945 "This officer was the pilot of an aircraft detailed for a reconnaissance covering the Leipzig area in March 1945. Whilst over the target, two enemy fighters attempted to close in. Pilot Officer Hays took violent evading action. Much height was lost. At this stage another enemy aircraft joined the fight. Pilot Officer Hays manoeuvred with great skill and although his aircraft was hit he succeeded in evading the attackers. The starboard engine had been badly damaged but course was set for home. Later on the return flight the aircraft was attacked by another fighter. Pilot Officer Hays manoeuvred with superb skill. Although the aircraft sustained further damage and the navigator was wounded, this pilot succeeded in evading the fighter. He afterwards flew to a landing ground in Allied territory. This officer, who has completed many sorties, has consistently shown courage and resolution."

Her father, Louis Mackenzie, was a Scottish surgeon serving with the Indian Medical Service in the North West Frontier Province (now Pakistan), and based at Abbottabad and then Parachinar. Her mother, Gwen Mackenzie née Jones, was a Welsh paediatric nurse. Louis died of pneumonia in Parachinar in 1929. Gwen married again, to a major in the Indian Army, also in the North West Frontier, based at Nowshera.In 1938 the family retired to Jersey in the Channel Islands. After the onset of WWII the German army was set to invade the Channel Islands. Ishbel's family, because of their connections to the British military, were expected to be maltreated and so were ordered to get out immediately. They managed to secure places on the last boat to leave St. Helier before the Germans arrived on 30th June 1940. As refugees, the family moved to Cheltenham. There Ishbel went to school up to School Certificate level and then went on a course at a secretarial college which had been evacuated from London to Stanway House in the Cotswolds.When she had qualified and was wondering what to do next, the Principal arranged for her to attend an interview at the Interservices Research Bureau in Baker Street, London. This turned out to be a recruitment front for SOE, the Special Operations Executive, the secret organisation charged with espionage, sabotage and reconnaissance in occupied Europe. Still just 17, she was offered a job as a secretary at Aston House - SOE Station XII - near Knebworth, in the department which designed and tested weapons and explosives for use by SOE agents in the field. After a while, Ishbel asked to be posted overseas and was advised to apply to join the FANYs (First Aid Nursing Yeomanry) which by that time was providing administrative support to SOE.Once in the FANYs, Ishbel was posted first to Massingham, the SOE headquarters in Algeria. After a few months, as the allies advanced north through Italy, she was transferred to the SOE base at Bari, in the south of Italy, and then to Rome where she worked and was billeted at the SOE headquarters at 115 Via Barnaba Oriani for the rest of the war. Back in London after the war she worked as a secretary for the BBC before getting married and moving with her new husband to Bangkok, Thailand, for seven years.The lot also includes a 5-page memoir which includes Ishbel's detailed account of active service in Algiers and Italy.Please note. The memoir is a typed Word document only and not an original document.
