Original vintage poster Calling Out of the Whole Army Reserve
Letterpress poster 1939 51 x 48 cm A Royal call to arms... 'His Majesty the King has been graciously pleased to direct by proclamation that the army reserve and the militia (which includes the supplementary reserve) be called out on permanent service.' This poster was originally designed in 1921 following the Treaty Talks between Ireland, seeking independence, and the United Kingdom, led by Winston Churchill.

George Leech Victory Procession Down The Mall, 1946
Lithograph For Macmillan's History Pictures, c. 1960 43 x 54 cm This colourful lithograph depicts a momentous parade down the mall, held as part of the London Victory Celebrations of 1946 following the defeat of Nazi Germany and Japan in the Second World War.

Anonymous St Paul's Survives, Night Blitz in London - 1940
Lithograph For Macmillan's History Pictures, c. 1960 42 x 54 cm This striking lithograph depicts St Paul's Cathedral in London peaking through the swathes of smoke engulfing the city after a night of bombing during the blitz. The sky is illuminated by floodlights and flames, but the cathedral itself seems to provide its own light source, standing out against the destruction surrounding it. Although the source of this lithograph is unknown, it was likely produced after Herbert Mason's photograph 'St Paul's Survives', taken during the night air raid of the 29th-30th of December 1940, the night of the 'Second Great Fire of London.' The photograph has become a symbol of British resilience and courage, and is considered one of the iconic images of the Blitz. It became "instantly famous", and turned the Cathedral into "a symbol of togetherness, survival and suffering". During the Second World War, Winston Churchill declared that St Paul's must be protected at all costs to preserve morale. As a result, a team of 300 volunteers came together under the name of 'the St Paul's Watch' and, armed with sandbags and hoses, worked to extinguish the incendiaries raining down on the cathedral. -

Winston Churchill 'I avow my hope and faith...'
Lithograph 61 x 46 cm 'I avow my hope and faith, sure and inviolate, that in the days to come the British and American peoples will, for their own safety and the good of all, walk together in majesty, in justice and in peace.' Winston Churchill uttered these words during an address, 'before a Joint Session of Congress,' on the 26th of December, 1941. To put this piece into context, in the days after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour, the United States formally entered the Second World War, marking the end of Britain's solitary stand against Hitler's Germany, which it had sustained since the fall of France. Churchill immediately decided to travel to the United States, and on December 12, 1941 began the 10-day trip across the Atlantic. Churchill then addressed the U.S. Congress on the 26th and the Canadian Parliament on the 30th. Churchill's speech to Congress was sober, resolved, and eloquently defiant, but of course also featured the sparkle of Churchillian wit, irrepressible even in the dark hours of the war and the speech went down in history. -

These architectural sketches show Osman's ambitious plans for Roborough Village in Devon, dating from 1965. Cited as 'a huge, visionary scheme for Lord Roborough's model village striding across Dartmoor', in Osman's obituary, this series of drawings highlights different facets of Osman's vision. The first, with its neat colours, focusses on the placement of businesses and estate offices, while the third focusses on the geographical contours of the landscape and the logistics of his idea.

Julian Trevelyan (1910 - 1988)
Trafalgar Square
Etching & Aquatint 35 x 48 cm Numbered 27/75 lower left and signed lower right, both in pencil. Nephew of the historian G M Trevelyan, Julian Trevelyan was educated at Bedales and then at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he read English. After moving to Paris, Trevelyan studied engraving at Stanley William Hayter’s school, working alongside artists such as Max Ernst, Joan Miro and Pablo Picasso. He married the potter Ursula Darwin in 1934, and in 1935 they moved to Hammersmith, buying Durham Wharf beside the River Thames which was Trevelyan’s studio – and home – for the rest of his life. His wartime service was – like so many artists – as a camoufleur. A Royal Engineer from 1940-43, he served in North Africa and Palestine, forcing the German Afrika Korps to use resources against a dummy army whilst real tanks were disguised as more harmless equipment. In the desert, nothing could be hidden - but it could be disguised. Following the dissolution of his marriage in 1950, he married the painter Mary Fedden. Teaching at Chelsea School of Art, Trevelyan eventually became head of the Etching Department and his pupils included David Hockney and Peter Ackroyd. This particular edition shows a vibrant print of a classic view of Trafalgar Square, notably including Nelson's Column and the iconic fountains. Condition: generally very good.

George Pyne
A Cricket Match at Jesus College, Cambridge
Watercolour 21 x 32 cm A well-executed watercolour of a cricket match at Jesus College Cambridge, featuring a view over the college grounds and Cambridge in the background. George Pyne was related to two founders of the Society of Painters in Watercolours – William Henry Pyne was his father, and John Varley his father-in-law. Pyne trained as an architectural draughtsman and lived in Oxford from the 1850s until his death in 1884, specialising in views of the city and its colleges. His Oxford pictures are both architecturally-minded and romantically creative, often combining intensely detailed depictions of college buildings with imagined pedestrian scenes. Pyne was also noted for his views of Cambridge and Eton, and for his drawing manuals ‘A Rudimentary and Practical Treatise on Perspective for Beginners’ (1848) and ‘Practical Rules on Drawing for the Operative Builder, and Young Student in Architecture’ (1854); the latter texts offer an insight into his method of depicting architecture and its surroundings. Condition: generally very good, available in a nice gilt frame. If you’d like to know more, please email info@manningfineart.co.uk or call us on 07929 749056.

Tom Carr (1909-1999)
Braes of Derwent Hunt
Pencil drawing 25 x 22 cm Thomas Carr OBE was an Irish artist. He was associated with the Euston Road School in the 1930s and had a long career as a painter of domestic scenes and landscapes. He studied at the Slade School of Art before moving to Italy to spend a year in Settignano, near Florence. Upon his return to London, Carr established himself as a painter and was exhibited at various well-known galleries of the time, including Zwemmer Gallery and Storran Gallery. Carr enjoyed success throughout his career and despite having settled in Newcastle, County Down in 1939, he regularly exhibited at the Royal Academy and was a member of the Royal Ulster Academy, the New English Art Club, the Royal Watercolour Society. Carr was awarded the MBE in 1974 and received an OBE in 1993 for his services to art in Northern Ireland. This pencil drawing is likely a study for one of his paintings of the Braes of Derwent Hunt, and therefore occupies a unique place in his oeuvre, showing the artistic processes behind his work. -
David Loggan (1634-1692)
Christ's College, Cambridge
Engraving 40 x 46 cm Loggan was born to English and Scottish parents, and was baptised in Danzig in 1634. After studying engraving in Danzig with Willem Hondius (1598-1652 or 1658), he moved to London in the late 1650s, going on to produce the engraved title-page for the folio 1662 Book of Common Prayer. He married in 1663 and moved to Nuffield in Oxfordshire in 1665. Loggan was appointed Public Sculptor to the nearby University of Oxford in the late 1660s, having been commissioned to produce bird’s-eye views of all the Oxford colleges. He lived in Holywell Street as he did this. The 'Oxonia Illustrata' was published in 1675, with the help of Robert White (1645-1704). Following its completion, Loggan began work on his equivalent work for Cambridge; the 'Cantabrigia Illustrata' was finally published in 1690, when he was made engraver to Cambridge University. The 'Oxonia Illustrata' also includes an engraving of Winchester College (Winchester and New College share William of Wykeham as their founder) whilst the 'Cantabrigia Illustrata' includes one of Eton College (which shares its founder, Henry VIII, with King’s College). Bird’s-eye views from this era required a particular talent as an architectural perspectivist; it was not until 1783 that it became possible for artists to ascend via hot air balloons and view the scenes they were depicting from above. Loggan thus had to rely on his imagination in conceiving the views. Loggan’s views constitute the first accurate depictions of the two Universities, in many ways unchanged today. Whilst the Oxford engravings were produced in reasonable numbers and ran to a second edition by Henry Overton (on thicker paper and with a plate number in Roman numerals in the bottom right-hand corner), those of Cambridge were printed in much smaller numbers. The Dutchman Pieter van der Aa published some miniature versions of the engravings for James Beverell’s guidebook to the UK, 'Les Delices de la Grande Bretagne' (c. 1708). The contemporary artist Andrew Ingamells (b.1956) has produced a highly-acclaimed series of etchings which bring Loggan’s original vision up to date. This particular edition represents an aerial view of Christ's College Cambridge. It was re-engraved by Edinburgh printmakers workshop, published by Christ's College Cambridge in 1997, and features an EPW blindstamp. Condition: Generally very good.

Mabel Oliver Rae (1868-1956) Oriel College, Oxford 20 x 12 cm Etching Mabel Oliver Rae was born in Cambridge and trained at the Slade School of Fine Art between 1888 and 1890. Rae is known for her skilled etchings of various rural scenes and townscapes, particularly those of the colleges of Oxford and Cambridge. She signed works as ‘M. Oliver Rae’, a ruse to conceal the fact she was a female artist, so as not to reduce her chances with commercial dealers and agents. This particular etching depicts the front quad at Oriel College, Oxford, featuring lovely detailing of the ivy and greenery encasing this gothic architecture. Condition: Generally very good, slight age toning to paper, in original frame. For other views of Oriel College, click here. -
Richard Bankes Harraden (1778 - 1862)
St John's College, Cambridge (Great Gate)
Engraving 19 x 25 cm A nineteenth-century view of the Great Gate at St John's College Cambridge. Richard Bankes Harraden was a printmaker, painter, and drawing master. He was active in Cambridge, producing many views of the colleges, and subsequently several Oxford colleges. Harraden was an early and exhibiting member of the Society of British Artists in London, which was established in 1823, and remained a member until 1849. He specialised in depictions of landscape, topography and architecture, and was the son of Richard Harraden (1756 - 1838) with whom he published plates as 'Harraden & Son'.

Braun & Hogenberg
Map of Cambridge
Engraving with later hand colouring 34 x 45 cm This map is taken from the Civitates Orbit Terrarium, also known as the ‘Braun & Hogenberg.’ This work is the culmination of a fifty year collaboration between Braun and Hogenberg, containing 546 prospects, bird’s-eye views and maps of cities from all around the world. Of these 546 works, 363 were engravings and this particular edition stands out as one of the beautiful and vibrant maps treated to meticulous hand-colouring. Georg Braun was born in Cologne in 1541 and worked as a topo-geographer. As principal editor of the work, he acquired the tables, hired the artists and cartographers and wrote the texts, including the Latin article on ‘Cantabrigia’ found on the reverse of this engraving. He died as an octogenarian in 1622, the only survivor of the original team to witness the publication of volume VI. Frans Hogenberg was born in 1535 in Mechelen in Flanders and worked as a painter, engraver and mapmaker. He was notably exiled from Antwerp in 1568 by the Duke of Alva because he was Protestant and had printed engravings sympathising with the Beeldenstorm (the Great Iconoclasm, a historical event in which many forms of church fittings and decoration were destroyed as part of the Protestant Reformation). He then moved to London for a brief period before settling in Cologne, where he worked with Braun on the Civitates. Condition: Generally very good. For other general views of Cambridge, click here. -
