Est: $6,000 - $10,000
James Fulton Pringle (American, 1788–1847) The Ohio Oil on canvas 24 1/8 x 36 1/4 in. (61.3 x 92.1cm) Executed circa 1830-35. Provenance Collection of Henry Suydam, New York (by the late 1800s). Collection of William H. Pearse, Hughsonville, New York. Caldwell Galleries, Manlius, New York. John L. Giegerich, Jr., Wayne, Pennsylvania, until 1989. By descent in the family. Private Collection, Pennsylvania. Note The Ohio was a bark and packet ship of 373 tons exactly, built and owned in 1830 by Joseph Holmes from Kingston, Massachusetts. The ship occupies an important place in Philadelphia Maritime history, as it often ran between Philadelphia and European ports in the 1830s. Captain John Patterson Levy debuted his commandment on the Ohio at the young age of 21. Another portrait of the transatlantic ship, executed by Thomas Birch, is in the collection of the Philadelphia Maritime Museum in Center City. Frame: 29 x 41 x 2 in. The wax-lined canvas in overall XX condition. With promnent crazing throughout the work, for the most part stabilized as relatively flat. The surface of the canvas appears slightly dirty and would likely benefit from a light cleaning. With evidence of a repair at bottom right above the ship, which examination under UV light confirms. It also reveals a series of small pinhead-sized dots of inpainting throughout the canvas (mostly concentrated on the mid horizontal line across the ships), which is a sign of old inpainted losses, thus suggesting a past flaking condition issue. With some of the aforementioned craquelure also inpainted (very thinly) at bottom left corner.

H.M. FRIGATE PHOENIX LEAVING ST HELENA WITH JAMESTOWN OFF HER STERN measurements note 76 by 120 cm., 30 by 47 in. signed l.l.:J.Pringle Sydenham oil on canvas NOTE Phoenix is seen here off St Helena, with Jamestown in the background. This is likely to be the 5th Rate 36-gun vessel which was built at Parsons, Burlesdon, on 15th July 1783, and which was finally wrecked in 1816 near Smyrna (see J.J. Colledge's, Ships of the Royal Navy) St Helena was settled by the English East India Company between 1645 and 1659, and the capital of Jamestown, was named after James Duke of York, later King James II. In 1815 the British government selected Saint Helena as the place of detention of Napoleon Bonaparte; he was brought to the island in October 1815 and was lodged just outside Jamestown, and he remained on the Island until he died in May 1821. The Island was also used as a port of call on the long route to the Cape Colonies and India.

Est: $15,500 - $23,250
H.M. frigate Phoenix leaving St. Helena with Jamestown off her stern signed and inscribed 'J. Pringle. Sydenham' (lower left) oil on canvas 301/2 x 481/2 in. (77.4 x 123.2 cm.) NOTES Phoenix was an ancient name in the Royal Navy and the tenth ship to bear it was a frigate of 36 guns laid down in August 1781 to replace her namesake lost in the great West Indian hurricane of October 1780. The new vessel, one of the "Perseverance" class, was built in Parsons' Yard at Bursledon, Southampton, and launched on 15 th July 1783. By this time, the American War of Independence was effectively over and it was ten years before her active service began in earnest with the outbreak of the French Revolutionary Wars in 1793. During this conflict, she was responsible for the capture of several enemy ships including the Dutch frigate Argo, on 12 th May 1796, north of the Texel, an action which also resulted in the recapture of the Duke of York, an English merchantman which the Dutch had taken earlier as a prize. More famously, on 10 th August 1805, she captured the French 44-gun frigate Didon west of Cape Finisterre in a duel which even saw the men from Phoenix's sickberth pressed into service against the larger adversary. Before the War began however, her first taste of action had been off Mangalore, on the west coast of India, where she had taken the French Resolue in a skirmish on 19 th November 1791. It seems probable that the incident depicted here dates from an undoubted call at St. Helena which she would have made whilst on her way to or from Indian waters in the last years of peace. In the event, she survived the lengthy French Wars only to be lost in a violent storm off Smyrna, in the Aegean, on 20 th February 1816 whilst under the command of Captain Charles Austen, the younger brother of the novelist Jane Austen.
