A rare Napoleonic model guillotine made by a French prisoner-of-war who was captured by the British at the battle of Trafalgar.
The creator had a specialty in making miniature guillotines and made this one for a British soldier who had a particular morbid fascination with the reign of terror, or la Terreur. (Bonhams)

wish i was there - Deborah Nicholls [watercolor on paper]
Deb Nicholls lost all of her 3 children in a housefire in 2003. She was wrongly convicted in 2008, and awaited a new court date. Painting with watercolors has helped to give her strength to move forward through grief and the justice system. There is love in creating something which is beautiful.

A WRITTEN GUARANTEE
I Had To Learn To Trust And Believe In A Promise A Word Sent Down By One Most Powerful And Just What Was Asked Of Me Was All Well And Good But That Goal Seemed Unreachable When I Checked Out Where I Stood But Included With That Promise Was A Written Guarantee That Any Who Does Good And Believed Had A Seat In Paradise For Eternity His Word Became My Cacoon And I Feel Myself Coming Anew In His Word…

A Napoleonic 'Prisoner Of War' Bone Model Of A First Rate Ship Of The Line, French, Early 19th century,
the pinned and planked hull with horn whales, three decks with 112 guns, carved figurehead, planked decking with carved deck details, pierced hammock netting, three masts with standing and running rigging and ship's boats slung out between fore and main masts, galleried stern, mounted on rectangular parquetry base and in modern glazed display case,
Ship models, gaming pieces and automata were made by French prisoners of war during the First Coalition and the Napoleonic Wars (1792-1815). The models were mainly made from the leftover beef bones on their plates. The prisoners were interned on de-rigged war ships, so-called Hulks, which were anchored off the south coast of England or in prisons such as Norman's Cross near Peterborough and Princetown in Devon. Prisoners were allowed to attend local markets to sell these wares and used the proceeds to supplement their meagre food rations.
