189013351890. Ink and gouache with gold heightening on fibrous brown laid paper with a Jaipur Court Fee tax stamp in black ink 13 3/8 x 8 3/4 inches 340 x 222 mm. Toning handling creases and minor scattered surface soiling throughout. Scattered coeval Hindi inscriptions in ink on the verso as well as the embossed blindstamp of the Treasury of Jaipur. The first revenue stamps in India were issued in the mid-nineteenth century during the Raj and they are still being issued to this day. Apart from issues for the whole of India many princely states provinces and other states also had or still have their own revenue stamp issues. <br /> <br /> Before independence Indian revenue stamps were closely modeled on similar designs from Great Britain as is the case with this carriage motif stamp from Jaipur. The stamps were issued to denote various denominations including rupees and annas. An anna or Änna was a currency unit formerly used in British India equal to 1â„16 of a rupee. It was subdivided into four old Paisa or twelve pies thus there were 192 pies in a rupee. When the rupee was decimalized and subdivided into 100 new paise one anna was therefore equivalent to 6.25 paise. This particular stamp was used as evidence of court taxes remitted for property dealings. unknown

Ernestine "Nesta" Inglis 1895–1990 was an educator and headmistress "who played a pivotal role in the history of Tudor Hall: attending as a pupil rescuing the School from closure as Headmistress and overseeing the eventual purchase of Wykham Park in 1944. Her vision secured the future of the School".

18508857Paris 1850. Pencil pen and wash drawing with numerous detailed measurements. A fascinating and beautiful drawing--or "rendu"--of an ancient Roman sarcophagus.<br/> <br/>A fine drawing from an architectural student at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris the most influential architectural school in existence during much of the 18th century the whole of the 19th century and the first part of the 20th century. 'Students were eligible for the Ecole if they were at least fifteen years old or under thirty. They began with the seconde classe in which they competed in the concours d'émulation. These alternated between an esquisse --a rough sketch for which up to twelve hours was allowed--and a rendu --the large-scale finished drawing for which one to three months were allowed.Two to four years were usually required for a student to accumulate enough credits to enter the première classe. The same system was followed again usually for two to three years after which the student should have accumulated enough credits to compete for the Grand Prix de Rome. The winner of the Grand Prix was entitled to five years study under the auspices of the French Academy in Rome. For each of his first three years he was required to submit an analytical study of an ancient monument. For his fourth year he had to submit a complete reconstruction of a major classical work. For his fifth year he was required to submit an original work designed to a program of his own invention. "This study of the sarcophagus of Lucius Cornelius Scipio Barbatus was part of an Ecole de Beaux Arts student's portfolio. The sarcophagus was one of many in the Scipio family tomb on the Via Appia just outside of Roma and it dates from c. 290 B.C. The obituary text reads English "Lucius Cornelius Scipio Barbatus son of Gnaeus a valiant gentleman and wise whose fine form matched his bravery very well was aedile consul and censor among you he conquered Taurasia and Cisauna in fact Samnium he overcame all the Lucanian lands and brought back hostages."<br/> <br/>Arthur Drexler The Architecture of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts.

Light handling wear and some surface soiling otherwise in good condition with beautiful saturated watercolor work in the area of the subject's face. Whitehead's brother Philip was employed by the Bank of England from 1797 to 1810. During his employment at the Bank Philip Whitehead "adopted an extravagant lifestyle" and evidence came to light that he had defrauded Robarts & Co. by "forging an acceptance to a Bill." He was charged with forgery in 1811 and executed on 29 January 1812. The news of her brother's conviction was kept from his sister Sarah as long as possible. Learning of the execution Sarah Whitehead's mental health became unstable and she began to visit the Bank daily asking if Phillip was there. This continued until 1818 when the Directors offered Whitehead a financial grant on the condition that she stopped coming to the bank. Whitehead wore black crepe clothing which was a sign of mourning and as a result became known as the "Black Nun." To this day Whitehead's ghost reputedly haunts the Bank of England as well as the area on Threadneedle Street nearby. The myth of Whitehead's ghost appears in the poem New Year Letter by W. H. Auden. unknown
