It depicts a view of the Backs, looking over Clare College and King's College, with the chapel figuring prominently in the centre of the study. Algernon's work process is intriguing and the piece has been squared for transfer. Condition: Generally very good, squared for transfer, pinholes and short tear in the bottom left hand corner.

John Bluck (early 19th century) after Augustus Charles Pugin (1762 - 1832) All Souls - taken from the top of the Radcliffe Library (1814)
Aquatint with original hand colouring 21 x 27 cm Published by Rudolph Ackermann (1764 - 1834). An engraving of serene All Souls from Ackermann's 'History of Oxford'. Augustus Charles Pugin was an Anglo-French artist and architectural draughtsman. Pugin produced views of London, jointly creating the illustrations for the 'Microcosm of London' published by Rudolph Ackermann in 1811, followed by plates for Ackermann's books about Westminster Abbey, Oxford and Cambridge universities, and Winchester College. His later works included illustrations for Specimens of Gothic Architecture (1821–1823), The Royal Pavilion at Brighton (1826), Architectural Antiquities of Great Britain (1826), Specimens of the Architectural Antiquities of Normandy (1827), Illustrations of the Public Buildings of London (1825 to 1828), Paris and its Environs (1829 to 1831), and Examples of Gothic Architecture (1831). He also produced a book of furniture designs called Gothic Furniture, and assisted architects with detailing for their gothic designs. He ran a drawing school at his house in Bloomsbury. John Bluck was an aquatint engraver, mainly of topographical views, but also of marine and sporting subjects after his contemporaries. He produced plates for numerous publications. Rudolph Ackermann was an Anglo-German bookseller, inventor, lithographer, publisher and businessman. In 1795 he established a print-shop and drawing-school at 96 Strand. Here Ackermann set up a lithographic press and began a trade in prints. He later began to manufacture colours and thick carton paper for landscape and miniature painters. Within three years the premises had become too small and he moved to 101 Strand, in his own words "four doors nearer to Somerset House", the seat of the Royal Academy of Arts. Between 1797 and 1800 Ackermann rapidly developed his print and book publishing business, encompassing many different genres including topography, caricature, portraits, transparencies and decorative prints. Condition: Generally very good.If you would like to know more, please email info@manningfineart.co.uk or call us on 07929 749056.

An Avro Lancaster II at its dispersal point
Silver gelatin print 12 x 16 cm Stamped to reverse 'This photograph has been passed by censor' 'Copyright. The TP copyright illustration from 'The Aeroplane' must not be reproduced without the written permission of Temple Press Ltd.' December 1943 The Avro Lancaster II was fitted with the rotary Bristol Hercules engine. There was a fear that there would be a shortage of Rolls-Royce Merlin engines, therefore 300 were produced by Armstrong Whitworth in Coventry with an alternative engine. Here it is pictured at an airfield, coming out of the mist. Somewhere probably in East Anglia, an area prone to fog, this atmospheric shot is enhanced by the second Lancaster bomber that is just about visible in the background and the human figure, dwarfed by the aeroplane, standing on concrete to the right. Condition: good. Provenance: from the collection of Philip J R Moyes, author of many books on the RAF, most notably The Pictorial History which ran to several volumes. -
Andrew Ingamells Jesus College, Cambridge
Etching and aquatint 58 x 84 cm Signed in pencil and numbered from the edition of 150. Inspired by David Loggan’s celebrated engraving of the College in 1680, this view of Jesus College was the first of Ingamells’ series of views of Oxford and Cambridge. It took six months to complete and has long-since sold out from the publisher. The Master and Fellows of the College own both the original drawing, which the engraving is based upon, and the copper etching plate used to make the prints. Ingamells trained at St Albans School of Art and the London College of Printing, subsequently working as a graphic designer and illustrator. Based in London, he began making drawings of the buildings and landscapes of London. Ingamells' work is in many public collections including those of the Tate Gallery, The National Trust, The Paul Mellon Centre for British Art, and the City of London Guildhall Library. His pictures are also in several private collections, including those of various Oxford and Cambridge colleges, HRH King Charles III, and Shell Oil. The artist is currently part-way through his epic project to record all the colleges of Oxford and Cambridge, a project undertaken in homage to David Loggan. -

Sir Albert Richardson PRA Architectural Study of the Cathedral of Our Lady, Antwerp Watercolour 33 x 20 cm Signed and dated 1963. Sir Albert Edward Richardson (1880–1964) was a distinguished British architect, teacher, and historian, known for his deep reverence for classical design principles and his pivotal contributions to architecture during the 20th century. He was a prolific figure whose work and writings championed traditional architectural forms amidst the rise of modernism. Sir Albert Richardson's involvement with Antwerp is less well-documented and less prolific than his contributions in other areas, such as Dieppe or his architectural work in Britain. However, as in the other cities, he remained captivated by the architecture of Antwerp and produced numerous studies, including this watercolour of the Cathedral of Our Lady, during his time there. Condition: Generally very good, slight age toning to paper.If you would like to know more, please email info@manningfineart.co.uk or call us on 07929 749056.

Sir Edward Maufe (1882 - 1974)
Design for House on Round Island, Poole Harbour
Watercolour and collage 30 x 47 cm Signed lower right Edward [Maufe]. Provenance the estate of Bernard Bumpus, together with several other Maufe drawings. Drawing for D Beatty Pownall Architect. A design for an Art Deco house by the coast, complete with seagulls and boats. Maufe is probably most famous for his Guildford Cathedral, the Air Forces Memorial, and his work for the Imperial War Graves Commission, for which he received his knighthood in 1954. He served a five-year apprenticeship under William Pite and then attended St John’s College, Oxford as an undergraduate. He then studied Design at the Architectural Association. His architecture is notable for its strong Arts and Crafts influence; this likely arose from his having lived in The Red House, Bexleyheath, which Philip Webb designed for the most famous of the Arts and Crafts designers: William Morris.

Architectural Design I
Pencil, ink, whitening 72 x 106 cm An architectural design for a public building, with room numbers labelled in red. Osman's detailed and precise mark-making makes for an elegant and artistic design. Osman was as much an artist as an architect. He studied at the Bartlett School of Architecture; he was awarded a First Class degree and the Donaldson Medal of the RIBA (for the best result in his year group), and then went on to the Slade School of Art. He subsequently trained with Sir Albert Richardson - we also have several Richardson works in our collection. After the war, Osman busied himself as an architect. His work included contributions to Westminster Abbey, and Lincoln, Exeter, Ely, and Lichfield Cathedrals, Staunton Harold Church in Ashby de la Zouch for the National Trust, and of course his folly: the Grade I listed Elizabethan manor house, Canons Ashby in Northamptonshire, now a National Trust property. At Canons Ashby he established a workshop and had a team of silversmiths and goldsmiths working for him. In 1976 he made the gold enamelled coffin that holds the copy of the Magna Carta on view in the United States Capitol, Washington, DC.

He subsequently trained with Sir Albert Richardson - we also have several Richardson works in our collection. After the war, Osman busied himself as an architect. His work included contributions to Westminster Abbey, and Lincoln, Exeter, Ely, and Lichfield Cathedrals, Staunton Harold Church in Ashby de la Zouch for the National Trust, and of course his folly: the Grade I listed Elizabethan manor house, Canons Ashby in Northamptonshire, now a National Trust property. At Canons Ashby he established a workshop and had a team of silversmiths and goldsmiths working for him. In 1976 he made the gold enamelled coffin that holds the copy of the Magna Carta on view in the United States Capitol, Washington, DC. Condition: image generally very good; a few repaired short edge tears to margins. If you’d like to know more, please email info@manningfineart.co.uk or call us on 07929 749056.
