Harold Harvey (1874-1941) - Oil painting - "The Village Farrier" - River landscape with a farrier and working horse to foreground and figure and cottage to background, canvas 16ins x 12ins, signed in full in black and dated '06, in gilt moulded and fluted frame £12000-15000
Provenance: Purchased by the Great Aunt of the present owner, circa 1910. It is known in the family that the figure by the cottage was thought to be their Grandfather. The location is thought to be the River Coombe which rises above Newlyn and flows through a wooded area down to the sea between the fishing port of Newlyn and Penzance. It bears similarities to Stanhope Forbes oil painting - "Across the Stream" painted in 1897 which also shows this location.

Richard Caton Woodville (1856-1927) - Oil painting - "The Defence of Hougoumont", showing a British Guardsman defending the Chateau from the attack of the French (1st Brigade of the 6th Division) mounted on bay horses, canvas 30ins x 20ins, signed R.Caton Woodville (19)'01 to lower left, in gilt moulded oak leaf and acorn pattern frame and glazed £6000-8000
Provenance: From the collection of the late Dr John A. McDonald, Bilsington, Ashford, Kent and thence by family decent
Note: The assault on Hougoumont, a key position on the battlefield commenced at 11am June 18th 1815 when the French artillery began pounding the Chateau and farm. The British artillery ranged on the ridge behind, replied and fired on the French infantry arrayed in their columns preparing to advance. The Chateau and the farm complex were defended by Guardsmen of the Light Companies of the British 2nd (Coldstream) and the 3rd Foot (now Scots Guards). Wellington had ordered Lt Colonel McDonnell to "Defend the post to the last extremity". As the French (1st Brigade of the 6th Division) came charging through the main gates the British Guardsman counter-attacked to drive them back. In the struggle the gates were damaged, but Lieutenant Colonel McDonnell's men forced it shut and Sergeant Graham of the Coldstreams dropped the bar in place. The first French attack on Hougoumont had been repelled. What had begun as a diversionary attack by the French on Hougoumont escalated into a pitched battle which drew in more and more French troops as the day wore on. Napoleon had hoped that the assault would draw in Wellington's reserves, but just a handful of those were committed. By the end of the day two British Guards Battalions that had defended Hougoumont suffered roughly 500 dead and wounded out of the strength of nearly 2000. The French had been unable to capture Hougoumont and their casualties filled the woods and fields around.
