406 Eulalie Banks, Illustrator, Muralist & Writer, 1895 - 1999 Collection of Splendid Watercolour Drawings Watercolours: Banks (E.M.) ‘Eulalie’ An attractive collection of approx. 36 watercolour drawings, mostly children & humanized animals, rabbits, dogs, foxes, and birds. The collection contains single cards, large and small, greeting cards (some folding with illustrated interiors), the largest is approx. 24.5cms x 19.5cms (9½” x 7½”), smallest 7.5cms x 6cms (3” x 2½”), and most are lightly mounted on card, all in very fine condition. As a coll., w.a.f. * Eulalie Banks illustrated over 50 children’s books during her long lifetime. She was born in Brockley, south-east London, in 1895, she was the youngest of nine. The large family garden with its two greenhouses provided many memories to draw on over the years: her illustrations for Helen Bannerman’s classic The Story of Little Black Sambo in 1926 show palm trees mixed with pine against a very British-looking stone cottage in the background. By the age of 12, she was designing colourful Christmas cards for sale to friends. Two years later, she began illustrating the children’s page in a women’s magazine. Her first picture book, Bobby in Bubbleland (1913), was published when she was only 18. Sadly, the plates for this and other early books were destroyed during Zeppelin raids over London. Her speciality was the humanized animal, neatly dressed, standing on two feet and as often as not grinning fit to burst. Her signature was simply “Eulalie,” accompanied by a little mouse wearing blue velvet trousers and an artist’s smock. Years later, a child observing this trademark in one of the murals she was working on announced “Look there’s Mickey Mouse!” The artist, who painted directly on to existing plaster surfaces with oil pigments, immediately wiped this detail out. As she put it herself in a newspaper interview, “I was doing my mouse when Walt Disney was in diapers.” In fact, there was much in common with Disney in the instant sentiment found in Eulalie’s art. In fact, the largest collection of her original works is held by the Walt Disney Studios. Her final days were spent at the Beverly Health and Rehabilitation Centre in Sherman Oaks. But even at the age of 102 she was still signing books at meetings held in her honour. She died on 12 November 1999. €1500 - 2000

424 Mulcahy (Richard,) Minister for Defence (Provisional Government) An important manuscript Document, 2pp dating probably from early / mid 1922, in pencil. Unsigned but undoubtedly in his hand, outlining a series of priorities in relation to the formation and establishment of the National Army, possibly drafted as speaking notes for a Cabinet discussion. Unfortunately the document is in poor condition, with tears and fold marks, with some loss towards foot of both pages, but what remains is sufficient to be of great interest. The document outlines a series of 12 numbered points, including: 1. Get Army accepted; 2. Make an efficient back bone 3. Give it a Pro-Order tradition 4. Make it still Our Army - we having cleared Dublin on our own 5. Flabbergast those who would like to protract things indefinitely in the country in the intention that the “Govt. would never function” 6. Put us in a position in a couple of months to order the handing over to Govt. of any barracks in South continued to be held 7. Clear away any hope of any (other) army being allowed to continue…. To hold arms without out authorisation 8. To equip without Parliamentary (approval?) 9. Do. Without English trouble 10. Ulster aspect 11. Kill the idea that the Army is a preserve for any particular self-appointed drops of the “National Cream” 12. Absorb the best of the disbanded Irish Regiments in a way that will get over any stigma on us for them or on them..’ (another point probably lacking at end.) With an (unrelated) manuscript postcard from Mulcahy, 1966, and a news cutting. * Richard Mulcahy became Deputy Chief of Staff of the Irish Volunteers in late 1916, working closely with Michael Collins. He supported the Treaty, and became Minister for National Defence in the Provisional Government, Eoin O’Duffy became Chief of Staff of the (Free State) Army, of which Collins later became Commander-in-Chief. With Collins, Richard Mulcahy set up the new National Army and established it as a force independent of party politics. He resigned as Minister for Defence in March 1924, after the so-called Army Mutiny. A unique document in spite of its condition, providing a valuable insight into Mulcahy’s thinking at a crucial time. (1) €450 - 650

Written in March, 1901, and given to the Adepti of the Order of R.R. & A.C. in April, 1901. Orig. brown wrappers, 30 pp, signed at end ‘D.E.D.I. / In the Mountain of Abiegnos’ [i.e. W.B. Yeats]. No printer, no date, but 1901, for the author. A fine copy in original condition, uncut and entirely unopened, believed to be one of 50 copies, one of the rarest of Yeats’ publications. The Order of Rubidae Rosae & Aureae Crucis was a section of the Order of the Golden Dawn, which Yeats had joined in 1890 with Annie Horniman and others. His motto in the Order was ‘Daemon Est Deus Inversus’, hence D.E.D.I. Yeats’ essay was written to protest against changes in the rules of the Order, which he felt would undermine the principles of order and hierarchy. Foster (1997, p. 244) says it holds ‘an important place in the W.B.Y.’s canon’. (1) €700 - 900

445 Interesting Travel Diary The Charlevilles Visit Florence, 1820-1821 Manuscript: [Tisdall (Catherine)?] This small notebook contains the second part (the first is unfortunately missing) of a Journal recounting the visit to Florence in 1820-21 of the Earl and Countess of Charleville and their family. It begins with their arrival in Bologna on 11 November 1820 and continues with their journey to Florence a few days later. There they remained for the next six months. The anonymous narrator is evidently Catherine Tisdall, daughter of James Tisdall of Bawn, Co. Louth, and his wife Catherine Maria Dawson of Kinsealy, Co. Dublin. Catherine's father had died in 1797 and her mother married in the following year the landowner, antiquarian and politician Charles William Bury, who was created Earl of Charleville in 1806; their only son was born in 1801 and bore the courtesy title of Baron Tullamore. In the early years of the century they built Charleville Forest in Tullamore to the design of Francis Johnston. The party consisted of Catherine, her brother James Tisdall, the Earl and Countess, and their son Charles Bury, Lord Tullamore. The journal recounts an apparently ceaseless round of balls, operas, plays, flirtations and courtesy calls. Catherine was then in her twenties and a keen observer of society. She was also a connoisseur of the arts, fluent in Italian and French, and records her observations on all available paintings, sculptures and concerts. She describes the passing of the Austrian troops through Florence on their way to suppress the Carbonari Rebellion in Naples. Illnesses, a constant feature of life among all classes until very recent times, are frequently mentioned, and she has some caustic comments on the fees charged by the (English) doctor. The tantrums of her half-brother Lord Tullamore are a continual cause of concern. The central event of their stay in Florence is Lord Tullamore's marriage to Harriet Charlotte Beaujolois Campbell, attended by her mother Lady Charlotte Bury (a former society belle and future novelist) and stepfather, the Rev. Edward John Bury. The party left Florence on 28 May 1821 and travelled via Bologna, Modena, Parma, Turin and Lyon to Vichy; the MS concludes with a detailed and amusing account of their stay there. The journal provides a fascinating insight into the experiences of an Anglo-Irish family abroad, and forms a closely observed critique of the British colony in early 19th-century Florence.

446 LETTERS FROM KASHMIR, 1874 Co. Westmeath: Howard (Capt. Kenneth) Small manuscript notebook (53 pages of writing) containing contemporary copies of letters written by Captain Kenneth Howard, R.A., to his father the Hon. James K. Howard, his mother Lady Louisa Howard, and his sister Winifrede, between 26 June and 18 August 1874. Howard was a grandson of the 16th and a cousin of the 5th Marquis of Lansdowne, recently Under-Secretary of State for War and a future Viceroy of India. In 1881 he married Emily Bury, the heiress to Charleville Forest, Co. Offaly, and changed his name to Howard-Bury. The letters comprise a graphic account of Captain Howard's journey through northern India, from Delhi through Amritsar, Rawalpindi and Kashmir to Islamabad. His narrative abounds in details of the countryside through which he passes - its landscape, people, and wild flowers. Though writing from the viewpoint of a British colonial officer, his empathy with what he sees comes across clearly. Most of his time was spent in Kashmir, of which he writes: "This country would be a perfect paradise if only it was ours as it ought to be, for the Maharajah is a brute who oppresses his wretched people in the most fearful way and we don't interfere, why I don't know." Also document in Kashmiri (?) in a small envelope marked "Order from the Maharajah of Cashmere to grant me coolies and supplies." Recent typed transcript (some sections omitted) available to successful purchaser; and Pencil Sketches by Capt. Kenneth Howard. Six pencil sketches drawn by Captain Kenneth Howard, R.A. (1845-1885) in the 1870s: · Spahi (Arab cavalryman in the French service) · Villa du Palmier, Algiers, 1870 · Salon, Zammit's Hotel, Algeria, 1870 · Arab woman, 1870 · On the Hydra road, 1870 (depicting house between trees) · Near Pamaratta, New South Wales, 1874 (depicting farmhouse with background of trees and mountains).
