Julia Margaret Cameron (1815-1879)
The Nestling Angel, 1872
Carbon print, likely printed by the Autotype Company, London, 1875, flush-mounted to modern card, image size 34.5 x 28cm, with two trimmed labels, signed, dated, and inscribed by the photographer in ink mounted lower margin recto. Framed, frame size 71 x 46cm. The inscriptions mounted below the print read: “Autotype taken from Mrs. Cameron’s registered photograph from the life copyright Julia Margaret Cameron / The Nestling Angel” and “A Xmas gift for sweet little [...] in the form of a Ceylon robin! With a kiss of welcome to our beloved Kalutara / Dec. 1876”.
£800 - 1,200
The sitter, posing as an angel, is possibly Mabel Hood, who also sat for Cameron with her mother and another child in 1872. The Victoria and Albert Museum holds a carbon print of Lady Hood, Mabel, and an unidentified child [ref.RPS.821-2017], as well as an albumen print of the present image [ref.RPS.1142-2017], also titled ‘Cupid’.
Julia Margaret Cameron and her husband left their home on the Isle of Wight in 1875 to move to Ceylon, where they settled at Kalutara. Prior to leaving England, Cameron employed the Autotype Company, London, to produce carbon prints of her negatives, of which the present lot is likely one. Cameron hosted guests at their Kalutara home until her death in 1879, most notably British painter Marianne North (1830–1890), who painted scenes of the landscape around the Cameron home. The inscription alongside this print suggests the picture was a welcome gift for a guest staying with the family during the Christmas holiday, 1876.

A 1970s ‘picture postcard’, the present lot features Sally Mann’s correspondence to an editor at David Godine in Boston, Massachusetts, dated January 9, 1975. Mann’s little-known portrait of American author Annie Dillard is pasted down to the card recto, with an inscription on the verso reading, “Stephen - a postscript. how about a limited edition collection of prints by a group of photographers call (presumptuously enough) The Image Continuum...including original prints by Ansel Adams, Brett Weston, (Edward’s son) Wynn Bullock, Roger Minick, Dave Bohn, myself, etc - There are 20 of us. Just a thought. Certainly not meant as a replacement for the Miley book. I keep my fingers crossed on that. Sincerely, Sally.” This unique hand-made card was sent (without any envelope) from Mann’s home in Virginia to Boston, and bears three 10-cent stamps, along with two postmarks for January 10, 1975.
This portrait of Annie Dillard was included in Journal 2 of The Image Continuum, published in January 1975, the same month this postcard was sent; Journal 2 was originally published in an edition of 100, 20 copies with 15 photographs in accompanying portfolio (and eight photographs bound in with the text).The Boston Museum of Fine Art holds five volumes of The Image Continuum Journal, dating from 1974-1981 [ref.1985.263a-f through 1985.267a-p]).

In 1983, The Photographers’ Gallery brought together the drawings of British artist Peter Lanyon (1918-1964) and the photographs of his son Andrew (b.1947), in an exhibition entitled Cornish Landscapes (October 1983). At the time of the exhibition, the gallery wrote, “To combine photographs and drawings is a new departure for the Gallery, although paintings were included in Andrew Lanyon’s previous exhibitions. By showing photographs and drawings of the same landscape, it is possible to discern more clearly the qualities and limitations of each medium.”
A print of this image was included in the 1983 exhibition, accompanied by Andrew’s father’s 1959 drawing of the same scene. Exhibition organiser Rupert Martin wrote that the drawing...”is virtually an aerial one with the church caught up in a vortex of sea, cliff, beach and hill. The violent marks denoting the cliff, the clear outline of the church, the smooth whale-like shape of the hill are overlaid by delicate atmospheric scrawls. Whereas the photograph records a moment in time and contrasts the solidity of the church with the fluidity of the sea, the drawing embodies the energy of the weather and places the various components of the scene in a dynamic relationship.”

1. BEFORE THE SALE
1.1 Agent for the seller
Unless otherwise agreed, Chiswick Auctions Ltd, hereafter referred to as CA LTD acts as agent for the seller. The contract for sale of the property is therefore made between the Seller and the Buyer.
1.2 Definitions
For the purposes of the current Terms and Conditions, the Seller shall be defined as the owner of the Goods. It is implied that the Seller is the legitimate owner and is authorised to sell the Lot.
The Bidder is any registered person participating in the auction, and the Buyer is the successful Bidder for a particular Lot.
The Lot means the item(s) put up for sale by CA Ltd and to which the present Terms and Conditions apply.
1.3 Catalogue descriptions
Any representation in any catalogue or otherwise as to the origin, date, age, attribution, authenticity or estimated selling price of any lot is a statement of opinion only. Such statements do not constitute a representation warranty or assumption of liability by CA Ltd in relation to the Lot. Any prospective Buyer should satisfy themselves prior to the sale as to the reliability of the catalogue description.
The absence of mention related to prior restorations in the catalogue descriptions does not imply that the good is exempt thereof.
Photographs of any Lot provided by CA Ltd are for indicative purposes only and are not deemed to be a precise representation of the said Lot.
The Buyer is advised to seek independent expert advice in order to be assured of the authenticity and true state of the good.
1.4 Inspection
Prior to auction, prospective purchasers are strongly advised to personally examine any property in which they are interested to satisfy themselves in relation to matters which may concern them.
1.5
Condition report
CA Ltd may issue a Condition Report on request prior to the sale.
This Condition Report is for identification purposes only and cannot be considered as giving a precise account of the Lot’s true state. Thus, some imperfections and faults may not be accounted for in the Condition Report. As aforementioned, and in the absence of any contractual value of the Condition report, it is the Buyer’s sole duty to inspect in person the Lot in order to be assured of its true condition and CA Ltd shall not be responsible for assertions within the Condition Report hereto.
1.6 Electricals
All electrical items are sold as seen and CA Ltd offers no guarantee as to the working condition of such items or their safety.
It is the Buyer’s duty to take necessary steps to be assured that the Lot is safe for normal use.
1.7
Estimates
Estimates are based on various factors inherent to the situation of the market at the time of the sale, as well as considerations such as the condition, rarity, or quality of the item etc. Estimates are only indicative and represent the opinion of CA Ltd. Estimates provided by CA Ltd cannot constitute a guarantee as to the value of the good. Subsequently, goods may sell at prices lower or higher than the provided estimates.
1.8 Reserves
Many Lots are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum sale price. The reserve will never exceed the low estimate printed in the catalogue. CA Ltd may open the bidding on any Lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller, and may in their discretion continue to bid up to the reserve price. This can be achieved by bidding in response to other bidders or alternatively by placing consecutive bids.
1.9 Registration to the sale
New bidders will need to register prior to the sale. It is strongly advised bidders register at least 24 hours before the sale. Registration thereafter shall be at the auctioneer’s entire discretion.
International bidders may be required to register 48 hours before the sale and to submit bank details.
A deposit may be requested prior to each sale.
Failure to register shall result in the impossibility for the bidder to purchase a Lot.
1.10 Proof of identity
Bidders not previously known to CA Ltd will be required to provide:
• Official proof of identity in the form of a passport or photocard driving licence. No other forms of ID are acceptable.
• Proof of address of main residence. Only official documents showing name and address will be accepted.
• Both landline and mobile telephone numbers
• A bank reference for foreign bidders may be requested
• Corporate clients will have to provide a certificate of incorporation prior to the auction, along with the representative’s ID in accordance with the above mentioned requirements for proof of identity.
Any Bidder that does not match the provided identity for registration may not purchase during the sale.
2. DURING THE SALE
2.1 Attendance at auction
Attending the auction in person is recommended.
CA Ltd has the right at their absolute discretion to refuse participation in any auction, to reject any bid, and to refuse admission to the premises.
Bidders are not obliged to be present in person at the auction.
Absentee bidders shall be required to make necessary arrangements with CA Ltd prior to the sale.
2.2 Personal bidding
Bidders attending the auction in person shall be required to collect a unique bidding paddle prior to bidding in the sale.
2.3 Commission bids
CA Ltd will use reasonable efforts to carry out Commission bids received by them prior to the sale for the convenience of clients who are not present at the auction in person. Execution of Commission bids is a free service provided to help clients and CA Ltd does not accept liability for any failure to execute a Commission bid or for errors and omissions in connection with it.
Commission bids shall be executed at the lowest possible price, subject to competing bids and reserves. Although CA Ltd will endeavour to inform Buyers, it is the Buyer’s responsibility to check if they have been successful in purchasing a Lot.
In the event of multiple commission bids set at the same price, the first registered commission bid will take priority.
2.4 Telephone bids
If a bidder is not able to attend in person an auction, CA Ltd will use reasonable efforts to contact prospective Buyers who make arrangements prior to commencement of the sale to bid by telephone. CA Ltd cannot be held responsible in the event of issues affecting connectivity, resulting in the loss of a chance of purchasing the Lot for the Bidder.
2.5 Internet bids
Some sales may be available to internet bidding, as well as personal attendance. In this event, CA Ltd shall not be held responsible for issues affecting connection. In addition to having our own in-house online bidding platform, some sales are also offered with online live bidding by third party platforms, CA Ltd is not responsible for any issues that may arise during registration or untilising said platforms. CA ltd encourages prospective bidders to bid directly with Chiswick Live or via traditional direct in-house means wherever possible.
2.6 Bidding on behalf of someone
A Buyer may bid by proxy. In this event, proof of identity of both the Buyer and the proxy must be communicated to CA Ltd prior to the sale. A copy of the mandate shall also be required.
2.7 Bidding on an item
Bid incrementation is at the auctioneer’s entire discretion.
2.8 Video transmission
For the purpose of the sale, Lots may be displayed on video during the auction. In the event of transmission issues, CA Ltd shall not be held responsible for any subsequent outcome.
2.9 Online-only auctions
Some auctions may only be available to bidders via an online platform sale. In this event, Buyers have a 14 day period from the receipt of goods to withdraw from the sale, in accordance with EU Consumer Law. This returns policy relates only to lots where physical viewing of lots prior to sale is not offered by CA Ltd.
2.10 Dispute resolution during the auction
Any dispute shall be settled at the auctioneer’s absolute discretion. Under no circumstances will a sale be cancelled after the fall of the hammer, except at the auctioneer’s entire discretion.
3. CONTRACT FORMATION AND EFFECTS
3.1 Contract of sale
The contract of sale is between the Buyer and the Seller.
The Buyer shall be the bidder at the highest price at the fall of the hammer. The sale is deemed complete once the auctioneer announces its completion by the fall of the hammer and the contract shall be binding thereafter between the Buyer and the Seller and CA Ltd.
When a Buyer purchases multiple Lots, each Lot is the subject of a separate contract of sale.
3.2 Transfer of property
Property of the goods shall pass to the Buyer only once CA Ltd has received full payment for the goods, this includes the price at the fall of the hammer as well as Buyer’s premium, relevant taxes, and costs in relation to shipping.
3.3 Transfer of risks
Purchased Lots shall be at the Buyer’s risk in all respects from the fall of the hammer, and neither CA Ltd nor their agents shall be responsible for any loss or damage of any kind, whether caused by negligence or otherwise.
3.4 Cancellation of the sale
At the fall of the hammer, the contract is formed between the Buyer and CA Ltd and is binding thereafter. Under no circumstances can the Buyer cancel the sale.
CA Ltd may at its entire discretion, during or after the auction, cancel the sale of the Lot or reoffer and resell the Lot if it becomes aware of any error or dispute of any nature, whether or not title has passed to the Buyer, and up to a period of 6 months after the said sale.
Grounds for cancellation under the present section shall include but not be limited to any dispute relating to the attribution or provenance of the Lot, ownership and title, fraud or deceit, lack of relevant licences or certificates, any subsequent changes in domestic or international legislations restricting the sale of export of goods etc.
In the event of internet-only auctions (where are no offered advanced physical viewing times), the Buyer shall have a 14 day right to retract, after receipt of the Lot, under EU Consumer Law.
Public auctions are not covered by this right to retract.
4. AFTER THE SALE
4.1 Payment
All purchased lots must be paid for on the day of the auction. Commission bids must be paid for no later than the day after the auction. Payment must be made by cash, debit, credit card or bank transfer. We do not accept cheques. We do not currently accept American Express.
CA ltd adheres strictly to current anti-money laundering regulations and reserves the right to refuse payment or cancel the sale of any lot, should suspicion or evidence of regulation infringement arise. The 2020 guidelines reference ‘Art Works’, but are as yet to be fully defined. As such, CA Ltd reserves the right to adapt buying/selling rules at any time, in order to maintain compliance.
Cash payments shall not be receivable for amounts over €10,000, regardless of the payment being for one or multiple Lots. As of 2020, new directives also extend to other forms of payment where the amount is in excess of €10,000 and this may require further information sharing covering both buyers and sellers.
Should it encounter contravention of said regulations, or is unable to bring buyers/sellers into line with said regulations through advice and support, CA ltd reserves the right to cancel any lot transaction and offer said lots to underbidders and where applicable will notify the relevant authority of the suspected contravention if deemed intentional.
. Payments made by someone other than the registered Buyer shall not be accepted.
Title will not pass to the Buyer until CA Ltd has received all amounts due to them in cleared funds even if the Lot has been released to the Buyer.
4.2 Buyer’s Premium
The Buyer will pay CA Ltd a premium of 26% on the hammer price plus VAT on that premium on the first £500,000 and 12% plus VAT on the balance thereafter. A Buyer’s Premium of 21% plus VAT is charged on Wine & Spirits Lots.

Under EU Regulations related to the trade of cultural goods, export licences may be required for export outside of the European Union if the item’s value exceeds the EU threshold. Under UK Law, a licence may also be required for intra-EU trade.
Licenses are issued by Arts Council England and it is the Buyer’s duty to obtain them. Some countries restrict the import of specific cultural goods. For example, the United States prohibits the import of pre-Columbian monumental or architectural sculpture or murals, as well as any cultural goods in provenance from some countries subject to armed conflicts.
The Buyer must verify local legislation prior to the sale in order to be assured that import or export is possible.
4.12 CITES
Import and export restrictions
Certain endangered species are listed in the CITES Convention. Listed specimens and any parts or products thereof are subject to issuance of an export permit when leaving the European Union.
Appendix I species, are also subject to issuance of a prior import permit from the country in which the goods are to be imported. Such permits are necessary before applying for export permits and it is the Buyer’s duty to initiate the proceedings with the relevant authority.
The Buyer must be aware that certain countries prohibit the import of some species or any parts or products derived thereof. For example, the United States prohibit all import of African elephant ivory, and any item containing parts that may merely resemble African elephant ivory must be accompanied by relevant documentation stating it is not the latter.
Worked items that are dated before 1947 are exempt from import restrictions for intra-EU trade and shall not require export licences.
Please be aware that all Lots marked with the symbol λ are subject to CITES regulations.
4.13 Limitation of liability regarding CITES export licenses
Where licences are required for importing or exporting outside of the European Union, it is the Buyer’s duty to obtain them.
CA Ltd cannot be held responsible if the Buyer’s application for an export permit is unsuccessful. Subsequently, in the event of failure thereof, CA Ltd shall not permit cancellation or rescission of the sale.
4.14 Warranties
CA Ltd does not provide the Buyer with warranties relating to any Lot, unless required by Law.
4.15 Authenticity warranty

The Buyer shall give notice to CA Ltd within 28 days from knowledge or any event giving reasons for suspecting that the item is not authentic, and within one year of the said sale. Any claim thereafter shall not be receivable. For the purposes of the present paragraph, authenticity shall be defined as the state of a Lot that is genuine and not a forgery or a copy.
5. ANTIQUITIES AND TRIBAL ART
5.1 Import and export restrictions and regulations
Archaeological goods over 100 years of age, unless covered by exemption of limited scientific interest, will require an EU Licence for export to a third country, regardless of their value. It is recommended that the Buyer contact the Export Licensing Unit at Arts Council England in order to be assured the good is or not of limited archaeological or scientific interest.
Archaeological goods found on United-Kingdom soil or in UK territorial waters over 50 years of age shall require a UK Licence regardless of their value and regardless of the export destination. Other archaeological objects regardless of their origin will require an Individual Licence or OGEL depending on their value. Both European-Union and UK Licences may be required simultaneously for some items. It is the Buyer’s duty to undertake the necessary steps. CA Ltd cannot be held responsible and the sale cannot be cancelled in the event of failure to obtain the relevant licences.
6. JEWELLERY
6.1 Gemstone treatment and estimates
Many gemstones on the market have been treated so as to augment their appearance, in a reversible or
permanent manner. Treatments under the present section may be but not limited to:
• Heat treatment to enhance sapphires and rubies’ clarity and colour
• Oil and resin treatments for emeralds applied in different ways, to enhance clarity of the stone
• Staining
• Irradiation
• Coating
Estimates provided by CA Ltd are deemed to be based on the fact that the gemstone may have been subject to any type of treatment in the past. CA Ltd shall not be responsible in the absence of mention thereof. A certificate may be issued by a laboratory, providing with detailed information on the condition of the gemstone and any treatment applied thereto. The Buyer must be aware that different laboratories have different approaches as to the degree or type of treatment for a particular gemstone.
If a certificate accompanies the Lot, the Buyer must be aware that it is merely a statement of the laboratory’s opinion and in no way can CA Ltd be held responsible for any mentions therein. Such certificates are deemed to be delivered with the Lot for informative purposes only.
6.2 Estimated weights
If a stone’s exact weight appears within the body of the description, the stone has been un-mounted and weighed by CA Ltd. If the weight of a stone is stated to be approximate, the stone has been assessed by CA Ltd within its setting, and the defined weight is a statement of opinion only. This information is given as a guide and bidders should satisfy themselves with regard to this information as to its accuracy.
6.3 Signatures
‘A diamond ring, by X’: When the maker’s name appears in the title, in Chiswick Auctions’ opinion the piece is by that maker.
‘A diamond ring, signed X’: Has a signature that, in Chiswick Auctions’ opinion, is authentic but may contain gemstones that are not original, or the piece may have been altered.
‘A diamond ring, mounted by X’: Has been created by the jeweller, in Chiswick Auctions’ opinion, but using stones or designs supplied by the client.
‘Maker’s mark for X’: Has a maker’s mark which in Chiswick Auctions’ opinion is authentic. Some items may include parts or products derived from endangered species, such as ivory or coral. Such items may be subject to import or export restrictions. See section on CITES regulations for more details.
7. CLOCKS AND WATCHES
All Lots are sold as seen. Clocks and watches are therefore not deemed to be sold in working condition. Absence of reference thereof in the description does not imply that the Lot is in good condition and without defects, or has been subject to repair or restoration.
CA Ltd makes no representation or warranty that any clock or watch is in working order. As clocks and watches often contain fine and complex mechanisms, bidders should be aware that a general service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary.
Most clocks and watches are likely to have been repaired in the past, and as a result may include parts that are not original thereto.
The United-States restrict the importation of watches such as Rolex, Frank Muller or Corum. Such models can only be imported personally by the Buyer and CA Ltd cannot assist with shipping thereof.
Some watches may include leather straps derived from endangered species. Buyers may be required to obtain appropriate permits for import or export purposes in accordance with CITES regulations.
CA Ltd acts in compliance with such legislations and shall take necessary steps where required. Subsequently, watches may be deemed sold without their straps.
8.1 Upholstered furniture after 1950
According to The Furniture and Furnishings (Fire Safety) Regulations 1988, furniture that was upholstered after the 1st of January 1950 is subject to restrictions in the United-Kingdom. Exempt upholstered furniture that does not meet such requirements is deemed sold for purely aesthetic purposes. CA Ltd shall not be responsible for later alterations to the furniture, making it unfit for sale.
