John Postle Heseltine (L. 1508) Collector Sotheby's London 3-5 June 1935 1935. Heseltine died in 1929 but the estate sale of his prints was not held until 1935. It is presumed that this print was sold not in the Sotheby's print sale held during Heseltine's lifetime because Lugt specifies that his mark #1507 was applied by Sotheby's to those prints and #1508 to the ones that Heseltine kept. The posthumous sale catalog lot no. 64 lists a print by Short "Moonrise on the Bure" (S. 324) a mezzotint on vellum. That is a different title and a mysterious catalog number since the Strange catalog of Short's works does not rise above the 200s but the description fits the print exactly and so this is probably that lot which sold for 15s.
