"Numa pinx" indicates that the artist, Numa, was the original painter ("pinx" is an abbreviation for the Latin pinxit, meaning "painted it"). The print was published in Paris by H. Gache, an editor and publisher located on Rue de la Victoire, a known center for artistic production in the 19th century. The lithography work, a printing process using a stone or metal plate, was done by Régnier et Bettarmier, a notable lithography firm of the period.The figure of Clorinde, identified as a "SergeantatArms" under Louis XV, suggests this piece is likely a romanticized or theatrical representation of a historical figure, reflecting the popular fascination with French royalty and military history in the 19th century.

Antique S.L. Signed Watercolor A London Harbor Scene
Bring a piece of London's rich history into your home with this stunning antique watercolor, professionally framed by the renowned Stewart & Brown of High Holborn. The piece is signed "S.L.", providing a key detail about its artistic origins. Established in 1847, this prestigious firm of carvers and gilders was known for highclass picture and mirror frames, specializing in French gilding and toning. The label on the back of the frame, which also notes a 1982 auction purchase, is a testament to the piece's authentic provenance and age.
Condition
This watercolor and its frame are in excellent antique condition given their age.

Historical Background
The label on the back of the frame provides a fascinating glimpse into its past. Stewart & Brown was a wellrespected Londonbased firm of "carvers & gilders" that operated out of 55 Eagle St, High Holborn, W.C. (West Central London). The "Established 1847" date indicates the company was in business during the Victorian era, a period known for its skilled craftsmanship and attention to detail. The label also mentions that the piece was purchased at a "Johnson Auction" in 1982, linking it to a specific moment in its ownership history.
The artist's signature, S.L., adds a personal touch and a new dimension to this beautiful work. The style—a detailed marine scene featuring a sailing ship, a steamship, and a light tower—is characteristic of 19thcentury maritime art. These paintings were popular with collectors and were often used to decorate homes and offices, reflecting a strong connection to naval history and trade.

About Staffordshire Military Figurines:
During the 19th century, Staffordshire potteries produced a wide array of figurines for the British middle class, often commemorating royalty, theatrical characters, and soldiers. Militarythemed Staffordshire figures, like this mounted soldier, became especially popular during the Napoleonic Wars and continued through the Victorian era. Their charm lies in their folk artlike quality—handmade, slightly naive, yet full of character and patriotic spirit.
