Peter Monamy (British, 1681-1749) A man 'o war announcing her arrival at the anchorage, with a Royal yacht in attendance oil on canvas 24 x 31½in. (61 x 80cm.) * Provenance: Cooling Galleries, 92 New Bond Street, London gallery label verso. * Peter Monamy was born in the Minories, London in 1681. His father was a merchant from the Guernsey Monamy family, who were originally of Jersey descent. For many years Monamy was believed to have been born in Jersey, a myth initiated by the engraver George Vertue and repeated by Horace Walpole, probably as a consequence of Monamy's strong Jersey contacts during his career, including Captain Thomas Durrell and his many depictions of Channel Islands marine scenes. Monamy originally trained as a house decorator, sign painter and gilder as an apprentice to William Clark, a former Master of the Worshipful Company of Painter-Stainers from 1696-1703. Probably setting up in business as a decorator and easel painter on his own account in 1704, he was a successful and prosperous studio painter by the early 1720s and by 1730 his works were being reproduced as engravings and mezzotints in large numbers. His chief influences were Isaac Sailmaker and Willem van de Velde the younger, whose drawings he copied and collected. Monamy himself became a strong influence on Charles Brooking and his pupil Francis Swaine, who actually named his son Monamy Swaine in his honour. He painted actual ships but because his career took place during a period of relative peace many of his works do not depict factual maritime battles, instead showing ships at rest in calm seas, as here. In 1736 he was commissioned along with other painters to paint for the Vauxhall Gardens and in 1748 he presented a painting to the Foundling Hospital. Monamy's career eventually spanned over forty years and he has since become known as the father of British nautical painting.

A GEORGE IV SILVER COFFEE POT, PAUL STORR FOR STORR & MORTIMER, LONDON, 1825 baluster, profusely chased in a Rococo style with flowers around the engraved crest of Trotter, cast Rococo spout, leaf-capped chased silver handle 26.5cm high, 985gr (31oz) including ivory insulators Provenance: John Trotter (1757-1833) of Dyrham Park, Hertfordshire. Thence by direct family descent. John Trotter amassed a considerable fortune as an army contractor. "After the peace of 1783 he urged on the government the absurdity and extravagance of selling off all the military stores, only to replace them by new purchases on the occasion of any alarm, and offered to warehouse them in his own premises. This was agreed in 1787. On the outbreak of the French war the business increased enormously, and by 1807 he had established 109 depots, containing supplies insured for 600,000. The storekeepers were all appointed and paid by him; there was no government inspection, and apparently no government audit. The agreement was that he was paid the cost of the stores, plus a percentage to cover expenses and profit. In the hands of an honest and capable man the system worked efficiently, but it was felt to be improper to leave the country dependent on one man or to give one man such vast patronage. In 1807 Sir James Pulteney, then secretary for war, established the office of storekeeper-general, giving Trotter the first nomination to the post and taking into service all his employees. In 1815 Trotter established the Soho bazaar between Soho Square and Oxford Street. Intended at first to enable the distressed widows and daughters of army officers to dispose economically of their home 'work' by renting a few feet of counter, the bazaar eventually proved a source of wealth to its promoter. He was a man of many schemes, some of which led to fortune; others died in their infancy, including one for the establishment of a universal language. He died at Connaught Place, London on 6 September 1833." (J. K. Laughton, 'Trotter, Henry Dundas (1802-1859)', rev. Andrew Lambert, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004) John Trotter purchased Dyrham Park in 1798; apparently the park's entrance archway on the St Albans Road had originally been one of the triumphal arches erected in London by General Monk for Charles II's entry of 1660. The family remained at Dyrham until the house was requisitioned during the Second World War, since when it has become a country club.

In addition to his work at Coalport, he was a botanist, geologist, published local historian and journalist, starting a local newspaper, as well as serving as a postmaster and a borough councillor.

Property of a deceased estate - attributed to James Sant (1820-1916) - THE ARTIST'S WIFE ELIZABETH WITH THEIR DAUGHTER MARY EDITH - oil on canvas, 30.25 by 25.6ins. (77 by 65cms.), in gilt frame (see illustration). Footnote - Sant is known to have painted several versions of this subject and composition, dated to circa 1840, the most recent of which was the work sold at Christie's, London, 8th June 2006 (£ 75,000 hammer), which was of similar size although the subject was an oval. Before that a smaller version, measuring 12 by 10 inches, on panel, again an oval, sold Christie's South Kensington, 9th March 2000 (£ 4,200 hammer), and on 16th June 1999 a rectangular version measuring 23 by 19 inches sold at William Doyle's, New York ($ 6,000, £ 3,780 hammer). Following an article regarding this picture which appeared in the Daily Telegraph on Friday 19th October 2001 in which the picture restorer Philip Salmon was said to believe that this picture was of the young Queen Victoria and her first daughter Vicky by Sir Edwin Landseer, there has been much debate about this picture. Whilst there are facial similarities between the present face of the mother and that of the young Queen Victoria (compare Richard Rothwell's portrait, ex. Collection Ormonde, Kilkenny Castle) it seems unlikely that any royally commissioned work would come into private hands. Other attributions include Ferdinand Georg Waldmuller (1793-1865).
