Estimates Estimates are printed below each lot and do not include the buyer’s premium. The sale will be conducted in pounds sterling. Dimensions Dimensions are for guidance only; it is the buyer’s responsibility to ensure that they are correct. Buyer’s Premium The buyer shall pay the hammer price together with a premium thereon. 25% up to £50,000 / 20% thereafter. VAT will be charged on the premium at the rate imposed by law. (see our Terms and Conditions of Sale). VAT The symbol † by a lot number indicates that VAT is payable by the purchaser at the standard rate on the hammer price. The symbol * by a lot number indicates that the lot has been temporarily imported from outside the EU and that VAT is payable by the purchaser at the rate of 5% on the hammer price. No VAT is payable on the hammer price or premium for books bought at auction. Droit de Suite This symbol § indicates works which may be subject to the Droit de Suite or Artist’s Resale Right, which took effect in the United Kingdom on 14th February 2006. We are required to collect a royalty payment for all qualifying works of art. Under new legislation which came into effect on 1st January 2012, this applies to living artists and artists who have died in the last 70 years. This royalty will be charged to the buyer on the hammer price and in addition to the buyer’s premium. It will not apply to works where the hammer price is less than €1,000 (euros). The charge for works of art sold at and above €1,000 (euros) and below €50,000 (euros) is 4%. For items selling above €50,000 (euros), charges are calculated on a sliding scale. All royalty charges are paid to the appropriate collecting organisation and no handling costs or additional fees are retained by the auctioneer. Resale royalties are not subject to VAT.

Please note that the royalty payment is calculated on the rate of exchange at the European Central Bank on the date of the sale.

ART & ARCHITECTURE 1 Architectural designs for the Houses of Parliament - Hopper, Thomas Designs for the Houses of Parliament. London: for the Author, [1842]. First edition, oblong elephant folio, 4 plans on india paper, and 28 plates by H. Jones and others after Hopper (27 lithographed, 1 engraved), one plate on india paper, list of subscribers with one name neatly added in pen facsimile, contemporary maroon half morocco, gilt lettering piece on upper cover, preserved in new folding cloth and buckram case, with morocco lettering piece, somewhat spotted, some marginal repairs, one repair just extending into image Note: Despite a lucrative private practice, in the competitions for public buildings that formed such a significant feature of late Georgian architectural activity, Hopper was almost uniformly unsuccessful. Defeated by Barry in the Houses of Parliament competition, 1835–6, Hopper was one of the most persistent and percipient critics of the competition judges, setting out detailed grounds for objection in his Letter to the … First Commissioner of his Majesty’s Works (1837); pursued the controversy in Hopper versus Cust, on the … Rebuilding of the Houses of Parliament (1837); and eventually went to the considerable expense of publishing his own designs in this large sumptuous elephant folio. Rare: only 7 copies recorded on Copac. £1,500-2,000

19 Broadside - Jamaica - Anti-Slavery Society - Gordon and Eyre The Committee of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society have received the following communication from Jamaica. “In a despatch from Mr Eyre... the following paragraph appears “It is also well known out here, that Mr Gordon was universally regarded as a bad man in every sense of the word. Reported to be grossly immoral and an adulterer, a liar, a swindler, dishonest, cruel, vindictive, and a hypocrite...” “The undersigned having resided in the Island many years, and having had very considerable opportunities of knowing and forming an estimate of Mr Gordon’s character do hereby protest against the foregoing allegations as made by Mr Eyre...” Very large poster-size broadside, printed on 2 sheets, total dimensions 1380 x 1090mm. Birmingham: E.C. Osborne, Printer, Bennett’s Hill, [1866], small holes at folds with minor loss Note: Extremely rare survival relating to the Morant Bay Rebellion, Jamaica, and the nemesis of one of Australia’s great explorers. Edward John Eyre (1815-1901), the celebrated explorer of Australia, was posted to Jamaica in 1862, and was appointed Governor in 1864. George William Gordon (born c. 1820) was a ‘man of colour’, able, prosperous, and an elected member of the Assembly and magistrate. In politics he differed from his middle-class peers with his interest in the affairs of the landless , and in religion he was a Baptist.

The white plantation class, with Eyre at their head, had a loathing of the dissenters. Gordon had established his own independent Baptist chapels and pastors around the island, and was a clearly displayed target for Eyre, whose only response to the social and economic challenges that faced the island had been a brutal suppression of the lower orders. In October 1865 matters boiled over at Morant Bay where Paul Bogle, one of Gordon’s deacons, led an armed group against magistrates. Eyre used the unrest as an excuse for widespread repression which cost hundreds of lives. Gordon, who was nowhere near the action, surrendered himself when he knew there was a warrant for his arrest. Eyre handed him over to the Provost Marshal, with the instruction that he be tried for treason and sedition, for which there could be only one possible outcome. Gordon was hanged. The poster offered here is a remarkable survival of the clamour in England for a Royal Commission to investigate Eyre’s administration and actions. Gordon’s champion was John Stuart Mill, while Carlyle, Ruskin, Tennyson and Kingsley supported Eyre, prior to the findings of the Royal Commission which commended Eyre for containing the outbreak of violence condemned him for the excessive severity and cruelty in the aftermath of the ‘rebellion’, as a result of which Eyre was dismissed from the service. Not in BLC, NSTC, COPAC or Worldcat. £300-400

Note: The Battle of Solferino is notable as being the battle which inspired the creation of the Red Cross. In 1862, Henry Dunant published his A Memory of Solferino, proposing the creation of societies of trained volunteers to provide impartial aid to wounded soldiers. The casualty figures displayed on the poster indicate the huge scale of battle-injury, whilst no organised medical division existed within the army and many died needlessly. The publication of the work led to the eventual creation of the International Committee of the Red Cross - the first society being formed in Wuttemberg in 1863, and in Britain in 1870. £350-450 33 Science, technology, military and naval prints, a large collection comprising 344 8vo/12mo sized prints on science & technology (188) and military & naval (156) subjects (3 folders) £120-150 34 Scottish topographical prints, a large collection, comprising 1033 mainly 8vo/12mo-sized prints of locations around Scotland, and small maps, including Glasgow & the Clyde (118), Inverness & northern Scotland (114 sheets, some with several small plates laiddown), Dumfries (140), Aberdeen & north east Scotland (114), Argyll & Bute (66), Fife, Kinross & Perth (125), Scottish Borders (161), Edinburgh & the Lothians (178) and Ayrshire (178); [AND] 113 prints relating to England; [AND] and a large quantity of prints relating to Scottish topography, literature & history, and to European travel (13 folders) £250-350

First edition, 8vo, half-title, original printed wrappers, ink signature to upper cover and first page of introduction, ownership inscription to first blank, some pencil annotations, a little chipping and rubbing, with custom-made box Note: Saussure made the distinction between philology and nonhistorical linguistics and gave it its classic formulation. Saussure can therefore be considered the founding father of the linguistic theory of structuralism and modern linguistics. Saussure saw language as a system which can be viewed in two ways: diachronically (evolving through time and including philology) and synchronically (the system of language existing at a single time, providing a cross-section of its diachronic development). £400-600 60 Trithemius, Dozol, Bernard of Clairvaux and St Bonaventure A volume of uncommon tracts, printed in Paris, c.1501-1506, comprising: Dozol, Laurent Tractatus corporis Christi.

133 Scott, Sir Walter - Robert Scott-Moncrieff, of Fossaway (1793-1869) Pencil portrait of Walter Scott, from life, unsigned, by Robert ScottMoncrieff, [c.1816-20], 9 x 8.1cm., with worn inscription on reverse of frame: “Robert Scott-Moncrieff, born 1793, decd. 18[69], father of Canon William Scott-Moncrieff, also of Fossaway, died in 1901; father of Susan Mary, afterwards, Mrs Herbert L[unn]; her daughter, Constance Lunn, afterwards Mrs Colin Scott-Moncrieff. Pencil portrait of Sir Walter Scott from life, by Robert Scott-Moncrieff of Fossaway. Given by Robert Scott-Moncrieff’s daughter... to George Scott-Moncrieff”; together with 4pp. typed script “An unknown portrait of Scott” by George Scott-Moncrieff Note: A drawing from life of Sir Walter Scott, only once reproduced since it was drawn c. 1816-20. The pencil portrait by Robert Scott-Moncrieff (1793-1869) was reproduced for the first time, with the essay by George ScottMoncrieff , in the Scott Bicentenary Issue of Scotland’s Magazine, in June 1971. In the article George Scott-Moncrieff notes that Robert Scott-Moncrieff was called to the Scottish Bar in 1818, as an advocate was not particularly successful, and accepted, in 1828, the appointment as Chamberlain to the Duke of Buccleuch. He notes that during his early years at the Bar, between 1816 and 1820, Robert amused himself and his friends by doing drawings of his fellowadvocates and the Judges before whom they had to plead. “These drawings had sometimes an edge of caricature to them, but were often serious likenesses. They were highly praised by no less an authority than Sir Henry Raeburn himself... During his lifetime Robert would never agree to having any of his drawings published, but, in 1871, a couple of years after his death, a collection of them appeared in book form under the title The Scottish Bar Fifty Years Ago. Sketches of Scott and his Contemporaries. This volume contains one of two drawings made of Walter Scott by Robert Scott-Moncrieff. It is a drawing in pen and wash..” George ScottMoncrieff states that the original of this picture “now hangs in the National Library [of Scotland]” but the NLS today has no knowledge of this drawing. George Scott-Moncrieff adds “But there was a second drawing he made, in pencil, which has never before been reproduced. It is, I think, the better likeness of the two. Neither drawing is unduly flattering: they are candid portraits made when Scott was still under fifty, Still Clerk of Session, and still the Great Unknown.” George Scott-Moncrieff notes that Sir Henry Raeburn, who painted the magnificent portrait of Scott in his prime for Thomas Constable the publisher, “expressed special approval” of Robert’s portrait of Scott, “and on its being remarked to him that the head looked disproportionately high, his rejoinder was that Scott had a story more in his head than any other man. “Most of the artists who painted Scott seem to have made an effort to conceal the extraordinary height of his head, which is strikingly displayed in the cast taken after death” says the anonymous writer of the biographical notes to The Scottish Bar Fifty Years Ago.”. Robert Scott-Moncrieff was of course a considerably younger man than Scott, but the families, notably that of his wife, were on familiar terms. Robert’s wife was Susan Pringle of the Border family that built

24

Smailholm, the splendidly defiant old tower which, standing near Scott’s grandfather’s farm of Sandyknow, six miles from Kelso, proved an early inspiration to the young Walter, in his epistle to William Erskine. The Pringles at Yair became great friends of Scott when he was their neighbour on the adjacent property of Ashiesteel, and remained so after he moved a short way down the river to Abbotsford. Scott wrote of Yair in his Introduction to Canto II of Marmion, and indirectly refers to the [Pringle] boys having left Yair [for schooling in Edinburgh]. Later the family at Yair guessed the identity of Scott as author when he named the pony in Guy Mannering after their own favourite old pony, Dumple.” The typescript also details the descent of the picture within the family to George Scott-Moncrieff. Russell, Francis. Portaits of Sir Walter Scott. 1987. No. 133, incorrectly stating that this image was reproduced in The Scottish Bar Fifty Years Ago . The image reproduced in that work is a very similar portrait, also a half-length study of Scott in profile to the the left, but pen and wash, not pencil, and does show Scott wearing his robes as a Clerk of Session.

156 156 Dey, William Duthie, Lance Corporal - 92nd Gordon Highlanders [2nd Batallion] Manuscript book of poems dated 14th April 1897-c.1930?, 8vo, 161 hand-written pages, many poems apparently composed by Dey, with others being copies, subjects include the 1881 Battle of Majuba Hill, a tribute to ‘George Stewart [George Stewart McLennan?] (late Pipe Major)’, love, reminiscences of schooldays and other works concerning the regiment’s history Note: The title-page of the book reads: “Lance Corpl William Duthie Dey, “H.” coy. 92nd Gordon Highlanders. Aldershot 14th April 1897”. However, the text seems to have been written over many years, hence the poem dedicated to George McLennan, who died in 1929. William Duthie Dey possibly died in Johannesburg in 1936, having reached the rank of sergeant - this would have made him a man in his late fifties at least at his time of death, if he were an adult when the journal was begun. £600-800

London: 1730. Folio, engraved frontispiece, 21 coloured plates, 18 after Jacob van Huysum, original grey/blue boards rebacked onto modern card with modern card spine, some occasional light dampstaining, final plate a little damaged and repaired [Hunt 485, ESTC T103712] Note: “The Catalogus plantarum is notable as one of the earliest flower books to contain plates printed in colours. It is perhaps unique in that one third of its plates are so printed, in mezzotint from a single plate, while two thirds are engraved and handcoloured in the usual way...The seven ‘mezzotints’ are printed mainly in green and brown, with some small use of a third or fourth colour. Presumably all this was done through dabbing the colours on a single plate; but it should still be noted that Kirkall, the engraver, had previously experimented with woodblocks for laying on the second and third colours...” [Hunt, pp.136-7] This is the first of a planned three or four volume set, which would have been a broader catalogue of ‘Trees, Shrubs, Plants and Flowers’, however this was the only volume to be produced. £1,500-2,500

247 Thelwell, Norman 6 caricatures of military personnel by Norman Thelwell, all ink and wash on paper, possibly 1940s, each signed ‘Thelwell’, each c.25x20cm, 4 framed and glazed (6) Note: Norman Thelwell (1923-2004) is perhaps best recognised as the creator of cartoons depicting small round girls on rather rotund ponies, a phase in his work which began in 1953. However, Thelwell’s artistic career predates this considerably. An obituary of Thelwell which appeared in The Daily Telegraph on the 9th February 2004 explains: “He went to Rock Ferry High School, which had no art room, and left aged 16 to become a junior clerk in an office. The Second World War had already broken out and at 18 he joined the East Yorkshire Regiment as an infantryman. Happy to carry extra weight in the form of his sketchbook and paints, he dashed off extraordinary pen-andink drawings of his fellow soldiers.” £500-700

270 J.M. Barrie interest - Sylvia Llewelyn Davies memorial album by Lizzie Caswall Smith Album of 54 copy prints relating to Sylvia Llewelyn Davies, the Llewelyn Davies children and J.M. Barrie, prints between c.23x18.5 and 5x5cm in size, 8 of the prints are copies of paintings and drawings, whilst the remainder are copies of photographs, all mounted in calf album with stamp of Lizzie Caswall Smith, Gainsborough Studios, 309, Oxford Street, to final page, no date given Provenance: Possibly Crompton and Moya Llewelyn Davies, brother and sister-in-law to Arthur Llewelyn Davies, Sylvia’s husband and father of the Llewelyn Davies children. An accompanying letter from Bulmer’s Cider Makers, dated 1911, thanks Crompton for help he has offered to ‘the widow’, whose identity is unknown. Likewise, an accompanying cheque from the National Bank Limited, dated 1911, is signed by Moya Llewelyn Davies. Neither document references the album, however. Note: Sylvia Jocelyn Llewelyn Davies, 1866-1910, née Sylvia Du Maurier, was the daughter of George Du Maurier and the aunt of the novelist Daphne Du Maurier. She married Arthur Llewelyn Davies in 1892 and the couple had five sons: George, Jack, Peter, Michael and Nicholas (Nico). Sylvia Llewelyn Davies is best known for being the ‘mother of Peter Pan’. In fact, the entire family can be seen as character models for Peter Pan, the ‘Lost Boys’ and the Darling family. J.M. Barrie met Sylvia Llewelyn Davies at a dinner party in 1898, and during the course of the meal, realised that he had met her sons whilst walking his dog in Kensington Gardens. The pair formed a close friendship and, when Arthur Llewelyn Davies died in 1906, Barrie supported Sylvia both emotionally and financially. Tragedy struck the family again in 1910, when Sylvia died of cancer. Before her death, Sylvia appointed guardians to care for the children, including her mother and J.M. Barrie. By this point, Barrie was a well-established household name, having written Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens in 1906. Andrew Birkin

writes, “...the bizarre story of ‘Barrie and his Lost Boys’, and their inevitable parallel with Peter Pan, made excellent fodder for society gossip and speculation.” Peter Llewelyn Davies was teased mercilessly during his schooldays at Eton for being ‘the real Peter Pan’, and later dubbed Barrie’s work ‘that terrible masterpiece’. Barrie and others had taken various photographs of the family. It also seems that Barrie made several copies of a memorial album for Sylvia Llewelyn Davies following her death, which were issued to members of the family. An album held by the National Portrait Gallery in London is almost identical to this copy, apart from an inscription from Barrie to the recipient. The National Portrait Gallery’s copy has an accompanying letter, in which Barrie mentions that he made several copies of the album for friends and family members. Although lacking an inscription, the album for sale could be one of these, given to Crompton and Moya Llewelyn Davies. It is also known that the photographer Lizzie Caswall Smith made various sepi-toned platinotype copies of the Llewelyn Davies family photographs. It is Smith’s stamp which features on the final page of both this album, and the copy belonging to the National Portrait Gallery. Copies of photographs and drawings include: The ‘memorial album’ title plate, depicting Grove House - the Du Maurier family home in Hamstead, with the photographed signatures ‘Sylvia Llewelyn Davies’ and ‘Sylvia Du Maurier’; Sylvia Llewelyn Davies drawn by George Du Maurier, c.1885; Sylvia and Arthur Llewelyn Davies holding Peter as a baby, 1897; Various photographs taken at L’Hostellerie de Guillaume le Conquérant, Dives, France, April 1905; Sylvia Llewelyn Davies playing tennis at Cudlow House, Rustington, 1906; Sylvia Llewelyn Davies fishing in the River Dart near Postbridge, September 1909 (thought to be the last known photograph of Sylvia Llewelyn Davies; and many others. Crompton and Moya Llewelyn Davies (née O’Connor) are also notable in their own right. Whilst Crompton acted as an election agent for David Lloyd George, Moya was the daughter of an Irish member of parliament and had family links to the 1798 Irish Rebellion. The couple were friends with George Bernard Shaw and Sir John Lavery, amongst others. In 1921, Moya was jailed for her involvement in Irish republican affairs and is rumoured to have had an illicit relationship with Irish revolutionary leader, Michael Collins. £2,500-3,500

PROPERTY FROM THE ESTATE OF THE LATE LADY MARY STEWART Born Mary Florence Elinor Rainbow in Sunderland in the north of England in 1928, Lady Mary Stewart would later enchant generations of readers with her unique brand of romantic and historical suspense novels. The daughter of a country curate, after receiving offers to study at Oxford and Cambridge, Stewart read English at Durham University, and after graduating with a First, she became a lecturer before her passion for writing took over. Following a three month romance, she married Frederick Stewart, a geology professor who was later knighted for his contributions to the field. They were married for almost 60 years before his death in 2001. Famous for her Merlin Trilogy, she was also responsible for memorable novels such as Nine Coaches Waiting, My Brother Michael and The Moonspinners, just a sample of the many works she produced during a prolific career. Not one to court fame or accolade, Lady Stewart’s independent and capable heroines were a refreshing change for the genre and were often believed to be reflections of her own personality. Indeed, the novels are peppered with references to flowers bringing to mind her beloved garden on the shores of Loch Awe in the Scottish Highlands. So personal were her novels that she even asked her publisher not to release her first book; “It felt like walking naked down the street,” she said, “so much of oneself goes into a book.” Lady Stewart’s passion for literature extended beyond writing to collecting books. She developed an interest in the fine illustrated, deluxe edition works of Arthur Rackham, Edmund

70

Dulac and Kay Nielsen. Each purchase was made in careful consultation with London booksellers, who would specially look out impressive copies of these coveted works, which reflect an interest in the myths and legends of the past. These books are accompanied by a first edition of Darwin’s On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection (see lot 402). As Lady Mary Stewart explained in a letter to a London bookseller, her great-grandfather sailed on board the Beagle, leading her to add one of the most sought-after works of natural history to her library. The overall result is a very carefully compiled, personal collection of important works.

The Golden Age of Illustration What has become known as the ‘golden age of illustration’ spanned from the 1880s to the 1920s, ignited by Daniel Vierge and other pioneers who developed printing techniques that allowed reproduction of drawings and paintings with reasonable facility. Stylistically there was a prominent influence from the PreRaphaelites and Art Nouveau period. Over this bright era there was an abundance of talent, with Kay Nielsen, Edmund Dulac and Arthur Rackham all prominent figures.

405 Dulac, Edmund A fairy garland, being fairy tales from the old French. London...: Cassell & Company, Limited/New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1928. 4to, half-title signed by Dulac, dated 1928, alongside an original watercolour sketch of a fairy, 12 coloured plates, original quarter vellum gilt Note: One of 1000 copies Edmund Dulac, born in Toulouse in 1884, abandoned his legal studies to pursue art at the Ecole des Beaux Arts. He studied briefly in Paris before moving to London where he gained his first job from J. M. Dent, illustrating an edition of the collected works of the Brontë sisters consisting of 60 coloured plates, a huge commission for a young man. Dulac’s arrival in London coincided with developments in the printing technique that not only suited but also enhanced his style. The advancements led to improved colour reproduction which artists then defined in black ink lines. Arthur Rackham’s Rip van Winkle (see lot 444) being an early example, just as Dulac was coming to London. However, unlike Rackham, Dulac had not endured the previous decade, that required a black ink line to mask blurred colours and provide definition. So as Rackham continued to approach the new medium as an ink drawing, Dulac felt free to approach it as a watercolour. 1913 saw a stylistic change for Dulac, his dreamy, mellow blues gave way to a more vibrant colour spectrum. This oriental inspiration was never to leave him but as the next year saw the outbreak of the First World War he dedicated himself to relief effort books. At the end of the war Dulac found himself in an obsolete profession and was forced to diversify. During the rest of his life he found work designing theatre sets and graphics, postage stamps and bookplates. In the course of his career he illustrated famous works including Sleeping Beauty, Stories of Hans Christian Andersen and The Bells and Other Poems by Edgar Allan Poe. Though capable of using pen and ink, it was his uninhibited use of watercolour that set him apart from his contemporaries. £500-700

London: Hodder and Stoughton, [1924]. 4to, number 34 of 500 edition de luxe copies signed by Kay Nielsen, 12 tipped-in colour plates by Nielsen, original vellum gilt Note: Also to follow along the path paved by Dulac and Rackham was Kay Nielsen. Born in Copenhagen to creative parents, he studied at the Acadamie Julian and Acadamie Colarossi in Paris. As with Rackham and Dulac, Nielsen was most comfortable with the subject of fantasy and received his first commission in 1913 illustrating In Powder and Crinoline, Fairytales Retold. Embracing bolder rather than muted colours, Nielsen created fantastical worlds with impact as opposed to dreamy grace. The following year was the most fruitful of his career with 21 colour and 21 monochrome plates for East of the Sun, West of the Moon and illustrations The Monk of Fire. After an exhibition in New York, Nielsen spent time in Copenhagen designing scenery for the Royal Danish Theatre before returning to illustration in 1924. Over the next two years he established his place in the arena of fantasy illustration with artwork for fairytales by Hans Andersen and Hansel and Gretel. In 1939 he applied his talent to the new medium of storytelling and was employed by the Walt Disney Company. He became renowned within the company for his concept art and contributed to many films, most notably the Ave Maria and Night on a Bald Mountain sequences in Fantasia. ÂŁ600-900

416 Rackham, Arthur Arthur Rackham’s book of pictures... London: William Heinemann, [1913] 4to, number 726 of 1030 copies signed by Arthur Rackham, 44 tipped-in colour plates by Rackham, original cloth gilt Note: The most famous and arguably the most important figure in the ‘golden age of illustration’ was Arthur Rackham, born in London in 1876. Despite displaying artistic talent at school, he became a clerk at the age of 18, studying at the Lambeth School of Art in his spare time. In 1829 he left this employment for the uncertain world of illustrating; working regularly as a reporter for the Westminster Budget he was able to tackle the burgeoning book market. His first illustrations, which were for non-fantasy subjects, were distinctly traditional. During the 1890s several books followed on subjects such as hunting, fishing and sports, as well as two children’s books, but all were executed without the wonderful style he was to become famous for. Then in 1900 he illustrated The Fairytales of the Brothers Grimm, a work in which he evidently pushed himself and imparted his personality. It would be another five years before he could truly unleash his unique expression, and although projects during these years were for mundane subjects, his style was developing. His work then blossomed with 51 painted colour plates for Rip van Winkle (see lot 444), filled with the traits he was to become renowned for. Possessing a form of expression perfectly suited to the Victorian society, he was able to convey a sense of thrill without an unnerving threat and beauty that was not lewd. His techniques had a deft touch that gave his work a mischievous charm: forests of looming trees and grasping roots; sensuous yet chaste fairy maidens; backgrounds steeped with hidden imagery, and all executed with soft muted watercolours defined by a black ink line.

After Rip van Winkle his career was hugely successful, notably with Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens (se lot 432) and Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (see lot 418). His pages have preserved a sense of Victorian society: its ethos and nostalgia for childlike magic. The antithesis of the industrial advances that would enable mass production of illustrated books, his work is a reminder of the innocence that would be lost after the First World War. £250-350 417 Rackham, Arthur - ‘Ingoldsby, Thomas’ [Richard Harris Barham] The Ingoldsby legends, mirth & marvels.

(c) If any loss or damage should occur to the lot during the period identified in paragraphs (a) above, Lyon & Turnbull’s liability to compensate the Seller in respect of that loss shall be restricted to a maximum of the upper estimate, or actual loss incurred, whichever is lower. This compensation will be subject to a deduction of a 1.5% loss & warranty fee (subject to VAT).

The Seller acknowledges that lots are sold subject to these Conditions and on the Terms of Consignment as notified to the consignor at the time of the entry of the lot. 5. STANDARD SELLER FEES AND CHARGES (Subject to VAT) (1) Commission: 15% is charged on the selling price of each lot, (subject to a minimum charge of £30). Loss and damage warranty: 1.5% on value of lots sold. Photography: min charge £30. Online Listing: £10 per lot. (2) Transport: Items for sale must be consigned to the sale room by any stated deadline and at your expense. We may be able to assist you with this process. When organised on the Seller’s behalf the provision of transport will be contracted to third parties. Fees for transport will be deducted at the initial settlement.

(iii) 6 months from the date of delivery to Lyon & Turnbull for items still in the possession of Lyon & Turnbull but not consigned for sale (unless part of a long-term storage agreement). (b) Lyon & Turnbull shall charge a loss and damage warranty fee of 1.5% of the hammer price, plus VAT.

8. UNSOLD ITEMS (1) If an item is unsold it may, with your consent, be re-offered at a future sale. Where in our opinion an item is not suitable for a future sale we may either request (a) you collect such items from the saleroom promptly on being so informed. We shall be entitled to charge you for storage costs, charges shall be made at a reasonable daily rate; or (b) suggest that the item be transferred to a secondary saleroom for sale without reserve. All transferred lots will be sold for the best price on the day, this may not bear

any reflection on the item’s original estimate. Lyon & Turnbull are not liable for any items (whether it be selling price or loss & damage) when transferred. (2) Aftersales: We reserve the right to accept an after-auction offer on a lot on behalf of the seller, at the agreed reserve price or above, for up to 48 hours after the original auction. In which case the same charges will be payable as if such lots had been sold at auction and so far as appropriate these Conditions apply. 9. LOT WITHDRAWAL If a Seller wishes to withdraw a lot organised for sale, a withdrawal fee will apply; (a) if withdrawn over 28 working days prior to the sale, this will be charged at 10% of the mid estimate along with any ancillary charges incurred (such as photography), all subject to VAT at the current rate. (b) if withdrawn within 28 working days of the sale, this will be charged at 20% of the mid estimate along with any ancillary charges incurred (such as photography), all subject to VAT at the current rate. (c) Lyon & Turnbull may withdraw a lot from the proposed sale without any liability if: (i) Lyon & Turnbull reasonably believes that there is any doubt as to the lot‘s authenticity or attribution; or (ii) it reasonably doubts the accuracy of any of the Seller’s warranties; or (iii) the Seller breaches any provisions of the Conditions of Sale in any material respect; or (iv) the lot suffers from loss or damage so that it is not in the state in which it was when Lyon & Turnbull took delivery of it. (d) if an item is withdrawn from sale under Condition 9(c) (i), or (iv), the Seller shall not be charged a withdrawal fee and the item shall be returned to the Seller or dealt with pursuant to Clause 8, as the Seller decides. 10. AUTHORITY TO DEDUCT COMMISSION AND EXPENSES AND RETAIN PREMIUM AND INTEREST. The Seller authorises us to deduct commission at the stated rate, and all expenses incurred for your account from the hammer price, and consents to our right to retain beneficially the premium paid by the Buyer in accordance with these Conditions of Sale and any interest earned on the sale proceeds until the date of settlement. 11. NON-PAYMENT BY THE BUYER (a) Lyon & Turnbull will, where it considers appropriate, take reasonable steps to investigate the ability of bidders to pay for lots and will use reasonable endeavours, in consultation with the Seller, to enforce payment of the Hammer Price by any Buyer. (b) Lyon & Turnbull, in consultation with the Seller, will decide whether to pursue any of the remedies available to it, including those set out in Condition 10 of theCondition of Sale (Buyers) including the right to cancel the sale and return the property to the Seller. 14/5

When Lyon & Turnbull make a statement about a lot it is doing so on

86

The Auctioneer normally acts as agent only and disclaims any responsibility for default by Sellers or Buyers. 3. BIDDING PROCEDURES AND THE BUYER

we will use reasonable efforts to contact them to enable them to participate in bidding by telephone. We do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and omissions in connections. (h) Online Bidding: We will use reasonable efforts to carry out online bids and do not accept liability for equipment failure, inability to access the internet or software malfunctions related to execution of online bids/ live bidding.

(b) The maker of the highest bid accepted by the Auctioneer conducting the sale shall be the Buyer and any dispute shall be settled at the Auctioneer’s absolute discretion.

4. INCREMENTS

(c) Once made, no bid may be withdrawn.

For each lot purchased a Buyer‘s Premium of 25% is payable on the first £50,000 of the hammer price, 20% thereafter. VAT at the appropriate rate is charged on the Buyer‘s Premium. No VAT is payable on the hammer price or premium for printed books or unframed maps bought at auction.

(d) Our right to bid on behalf of Sellers is expressly reserved up to the amount of any reserve. (e) The right to refuse any bid is also reserved. (f) Commission Bids: While prospective Buyers are strongly advised to attend the auction and are always responsible for any decision to bid for a particular lot and shall be assumed to have carefully inspected and satisfied themselves as to its condition we shall, if so instructed, clearly and in writing execute bids on their behalf. Neither the Auctioneer nor our employees nor agents shall be responsible for any failure to do so. Where two or more commission bids at the same level are recorded we reserve the right in our absolute discretion to prefer the first bid so made. (g) Telephone Bids: If a prospective Buyer makes arrangements with us prior to the commencement of the sale

Bidding increments shall be at the Auctioneer’s sole discretion. 5. THE PURCHASE PRICE

Live online bidding is subject to an additional 3% premium (charged by the live bidding service provider Invaluable). This additional premium is subject to VAT at the appropriate rate as above. 6. VALUE ADDED TAX Value Added Tax is charged at the appropriate rate prevailing by law at the date of sale and is payable by Buyers of relevant lots. (1) Lots affixed with (†): Value Added Tax on the hammer price is imposed by law on all items affixed with a dagger (†). This imposition of VAT maybe because the Seller is registered for VAT within the European Union and is not

operating under a Margin Scheme. (2) Lots affixed with (*): A reduced rate of Value Added Tax on the hammer price of 5% is payable. This indicates that a lot has been imported from outwith the European Union. This reduced rate is applicable to Antique items. (3) Lots affixed with [Ω]: Standard rate of Value Added Tax on the hammer price and premium is payable. This applies to items that have been imported from outwith the European Union and do not fall within the reduced rate category outlined above. 7. DROIT de SUITE This symbol § indicates works which may be subject to the Droit de Suite or Artist’s Resale Right, which took effect in the United Kingdom on 14th February 2006. We are required to collect a royalty payment for all qualifying works of art. Under new legislation which came into effect on 1st January 2012 this applies to living artists and artists who have died in the last 70 years. This royalty will be charged to the Buyer on the hammer price and in addition to the Buyer’s premium. It will not apply to works where the hammer price is less than €1,000 (euros). The charge for works of art sold at and above ¤1,000 (euros) and below €50,000 (euros) is 4%. For items selling above €50,000 (euros), charges are calculated on a sliding scale. All royalty charges are paid to the Design and Artists Copyright Society (‘DACS’) and no handling costs or additional fees are retained by the auctioneer. Resale royalties are not subject to VAT. Please note that the royalty payment is calculated on the rate of exchange at the European Central Bank on the date of the sale.

More information on Droit de Suite is available at www.dacs.org.uk. 8. PAYMENT (1) Within 7 days of a lot being sold you will: (a) Pay to us the total amount due in cash or by such other method as is agreed by us. We accept cash, bank transfer (details on request), debit cards and Visa or MasterCard credit cards. We do not accept American Express. (b) Please note there is a surcharge of 2% when using credit cards. (c) Please note that under The Money Laundering Regulations 2007 we cannot accept cash payments over ¤15,000 (euros). (2) Any payments by you to us may be applied by us towards any sums owing by you to us howsoever incurred and without agreement by you or your agent, whether express or implied. 9. TITLE AND COLLECTION OF PURCHASES (1) The ownership of any lots purchased shall not pass to you until you have made payment in full to us of the total amount due. (2) You shall at your own risk and expense take away any lots that you have purchased and paid for not later than 7 working days following the day of the auction or upon the clearance of any cheque used for payment whichever is later. We can provide you with a list of shippers. However, we will not be responsible for the acts or omissions of carriers or packers whether or not recommended by us. (3) No purchase can be claimed or removed until it has been paid for. (4) It is the Buyer’s responsibility to ascertain collection procedures, particularly if the sale is not being held at our main sale room and the potential storage charges for lots not collected by the appropriate time. (5) Export of goods: Buyers intending to export goods should ascertain (a) whether an export licence is required and (b) whether there is any specific prohibition on importing goods of that character, e.g. items that may contain prohibited materials such as ivory or rhino horn. It is the buyer’s sole responsibility to obtain any relevant export or import licence. The denial of any licence or any delay in obtaining licences shall neither justify the recession of any sale not any delay in making full payment for the lot. 10. REMEDIES FOR NON·PAYMENT OR FAILURE TO COLLECT PURCHASES (1) If any lot is not paid for in full and taken away in accordance with these Conditions or if there is any other breach of these Conditions, we, as agent for the Sellers and on their behalf, shall at our absolute discretion and without prejudice to any other rights we may have, be entitled to exercise one or more of the following rights and remedies: (a) to proceed against you for damages for breach of contract; (b) to rescind the contract for sale of that lot and/or any other lots sold by us to you; (c) to resell the lot (by auction or private treaty) in which case you shall be responsible for any resulting deficiency in the total amount due (after crediting any part payment and adding any resale costs).

Page 87

(d) to remove, store and insure the lot in the case of storage, either at our premises or elsewhere and to recover from you all costs incurred in respect thereof; (e) to charge interest at a rate not exceeding 1.5% per month above the current base rate on all sums outstanding for more than 7 working days after the sale; (f) to retain that or any other lot sold to you until you pay the total amount due; (g) to reject or ignore bids from you or your agent at future auctions or to impose conditions before any such bids shall be accepted; (h) to apply any proceeds of sale of other lots due or which become due to you towards the settlement of the total amount due by you and to exercise a lien over any of your property in our possession for any purpose until the debt due is satisfied. 11. DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITION (1) whilst we seek to describe lots accurately, it may be impractical for us to carry out exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Prospective Buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description applied to a lot. Prospective Buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and only accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the auctioneer or our employees or agents accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and no warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of lots, express, implied or statutory, are given. (2) Condition reports: Condition reports are provided on our website or upon request. The absence of a report does not imply that a lot is without imperfections. Large numbers of such requests are received shortly before each sale and department specialists and administration will endeavor to respond to all requests although we offer no guarantee. Any statement in relation to the lot is merely an expression of opinion of the Seller or Lyon & Turnbull and should not be relied upon as an inducement to bid on the lot. Lots are available for inspection prior to the sale and you are strongly advised to examine any lot in which you are interested prior to the sale. Our condition reports are not prepared by professional conservators, restorers or engineers. (3) Estimates: Estimates are placed on each lot to help Buyers gauge the sums involved for the purchase of a particular lot. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT. Estimates are a matter of opinion and prepared in advance. Estimates may be subject to change are for guidance only and should not be relied upon. (4) Catalogue Alterations: Lot descriptions and estimates are prepared in advance of the sale and may be subject to change. Any alterations will be announced on the catalogue alteration sheet, made available prior to the sale. (5) Electrical Goods: are sold as

“works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations by a qualified electrician first. Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given. (6) Upholstered items: are sold as “works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations (items manufactured prior to 1950 are exempt from any regulations). Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given. (7) Special terms may be used in catalogue descriptions of particular classes of items (Books, Jewellery, Paintings, Guns, Firearms etc.) in which case the descriptions must be interpreted in accordance with any glossary appearing in the catalogue. These notices and terms will also form part of our terms and conditions of sales. 12. BOOKS, CLOCKS & WATCHES (1) Books-Collation: If on collation any NAMED item in the sale catalogue proves defective, in text or illustration the Buyer may reject the lot provided he returns it within 21 days of the sale stating the defect in writing. This, however, shall not apply in the case of unnamed items, periodicals, autographed letters, music M.M.S., maps, drawings NOR in respect of damage to bindings, stains, foxing, marginal worm holes or other defects not affecting the completeness of the text NOR in respect of Defects mentioned in the catalogue, or at the time of sale, NOR in respect of lots sold for less than £300. (2) Clocks & Watches: All lots are sold “as seen”, and the absence of any reference to the condition of a clock or watch does not imply that the lot is in good condition and without defects, repairs or restorations. Most clocks and watches have been repaired in the course of their normal lifetime and may now incorporate parts not original to them. Furthermore, Lyon & Turnbull makes no representation or warranty that any clock or watch is in working order. As clocks and watches often contain fine and complex mechanisms, bidders should be aware that a general service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary. Bidders should also be aware that Lyon & Turnbull cannot guarantee a watch will remain waterproof if the back is removed. Bidders should be aware that the importation of watches such as Rolex, Frank Muller and Corum into the United States is highly restricted. These watches may not be shipped to the USA and can only be imported personally. 13. CITES

Accordingly, neither the Auctioneer nor our employees or agents shall incur liability for death or personal injury or similarly for the safety of the property of persons visiting prior to, or at, a sale. 16.

Lyon & Turnbull will not give out personal information except as may be required by law.
