Darwin (Charles Robert, 1809-1882). Letter signed, ‘Ch. Darwin’, Down, Bromley, Kent, 15 July [1866], to [Charles] Kingsley, in the hand of Emma Darwin, 4 pages, 8vo Provenance: Inherited by family descent from the estate of Lady Mary Colyer-Fergusson (1871-1964) of Ightham Mote, Kent; and gifted to her by Mary Harrison in 1930.

An important and unpublished letter concerning the evolutionary problematic reasons for the migration of the eye in flatfish. It was written in response to the Rev. Kingsley's letter (12 July 1866), referring to the article by Charles Wyville Thomson, ‘Notes on Prof.

Steenstrup’s views on the obliquity of flounders’, in the Annals and Magazine of Natural History for May 1865, in which Thomson gave an abstract, with commentary, of a paper by Japetus Steenstrup on the migration of the eye of flounders.

Kingsley's letter is published in The Correspondence of Charles Darwin, vol. 14 and at The Darwin Correspondence Project [DCPLETT-5154], noting that it was acquired from Mary Harrison in 1930 (as the letter offered here). 'The DCP do not have knowledge of Darwin’s reply yet. The DCP do not have any letters from Darwin on the migration of eyes in flatfish'.

John Nixon was an accomplished amateur caricaturist of Georgian life and friend of Thomas Rowlandson, who exhibited 39 works at the Royal Academy between 1781 and 1815. Astley's Ampitheatre is generally considered to be the first British circus. Opened by Philip Astley as a riding school in 1768, displays of horsemanship to the paying public were soon augmented by acrobatic displays, clown antics, theatrical and musical acts, and dramatic battle re-enactments.

Landscape with figures and ruins on a promontory, pen, black and grey ink and grey wash on laid paper, a few light surface marks, lower left corner verso inscribed in later pencil: Saftleven, possible ownership initials to lower right corner verso: L V F (?), sheet size 130 x 175 mm (5 x 6.9 ins), hinge-mounted in 20th century cream card window mount Born into a family of artists, Herman Saftleven established his studio in Utrecht in 1632.

Once returned to his studio, he transformed these travel sketches into finished drawings and paintings.

23* Circle of Pierfrancesco Mola (Coldrerio, near Lugano 1612-1666 Rome). The Rest on the Flight into Egypt, oil on canvas, framed 50.2 x 67.3 cm (19 3/4 x 26 1/2 ins) Provenance: Christie's, London, 19 March 2020, Chieveley House, Berkshire and Five Private Collections, lot 266; Estate of Michael Jaffé (1923-1997), art historian and former director of the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge.

A recent restoration of this painting removed old, matt and discoloured varnish, and a film of surface dirt, and showed that the figures of Mary and Joseph are a later addition, probably dating from the 18th or early 19th century. When varnish was removed from the figurative group, which remained dark and ill-defined in some areas, a Cupid-like figure started to emerge, followed by a bare female leg. The painting was then xrayed at the request of the current owner (illustrated here) revealing that the composition originally showed a reclining female nude as well as a garlanded Cupid figure, holding up a drape to reveal her beauty. The painting would therefore have originally represented Venus and Cupid in a pastoral landscape. Further restoration will most likely reveal the original composition more clearly, and redress the current imbalance of light and dark.

We are grateful to picture conservator Seonaid Wood for her conservation report.

Andreani published this suite of prints to reproduce the nine canvases of the Triumphs of Caesar by Andrea Mantegna, made for the Gonzaga ducal palace in Mantua between 1484 and 1492, now residing in Hampton Court. The set, his last large-scale publication, took four years to complete and was the first to depict a painted cycle in its entirety.

According to the dedication page, Andreani worked after drawings prepared by the Mantuan painter Bernardo Malpizzi. Each of the nine scenes, including the present woodcut, were printed with four blocks; the key block for outlines and separately carved blocks to apply the different shades of colour.

These woodcuts were probably executed at around this time, by or for Bagford, and are copies of the very rare 1464 woodcut alphabet (see British Museum accession number B,10.1-23). It seems that the copies offered here were cut on seven blocks, the first five with 4 letters each, arranged as two rows of two letters, block six with just two letters in one row (X and Y) and the seventh block with just one letter (Z). One of the woodblocks, for the letters K and I, survives in the British Museum (B, 11.1), probably from Bagford’s collection.

Lot 57

Bartsch 39-71. Third state, after the addition of the publisher's name, Antonio Salamanca (1478–1562).

The original designs are traditionally attributed to Raphael, and were engraved by the "maestro del dado," or Master of the Die. Bartsch notes that "his quality of engraving comes very close to that of Marc Antonio Raimondi whose disciple he would appear to have been. In the suite illustrating the fable of Cupid and Psyche there are many engravings which equal in quality the works of that excellent engraver" (vol. XV, p. 182). Both Veneziano and the Master of the Die worked with Raphael designs frequently and despite the attributions sometimes to Michiel Coxie, an Italian origin seems more likely. These engravings served as models for illustrators of Apuleius throughout the sixteenth century. The Italian paraphrase accompanying the plates is taken from the translation of Apuleius' works published by Boiardo in 1516.

Hans Sebald Beham, along with his brother, Barthel, Georg Pencz, Heinrich Aldegrever, Albrecht Altdorfer, Hans Baldung, Hans Burgkmair and Jakob Binck, formed a group of engravers called the Kleinmeister, or Little Masters, working mostly in Nuremberg (they are also known as the Nürnberg Kleinmeister) in the second quarter of the 16th century. They specialised in very small, exquisitely intricate engravings, many as small as a postage stamp (hence the appellation ‘Little Masters’), whose forms and subjects were influenced by Albrecht Dürer. They drew from classical forms used by Dürer and contemporary, Mannerist Italian artists, transforming German engraving into a classical art form.

76* Villamena (Francisco, 1566-1624). The Roman Antiquary; Johannes Altus (Johann Hoch?) standing before a view of Rome, 1623, engraving on fine laid paper, a very fine, rich and black impression, printing with great clarity and contrasts, on fine laid paper, with thread margins or trimmed on the platemark, in good condition apart from a backed tear (unobtrusive recto) extending from the lower edge to above the mountain top at right, sheet size 37.6 x 51.8 cm (14 3/4 x 20 3/8 ins) together with Allegory of Cardinal Pompeio Arrigoni (15521616), circa 1600, after Francesco Albani, engraving, a very fine impression of this rare engraving, printing with great clarity and contrasts, on fine laid paper, with narrow margins, in excellent, well preserved condiition, sheet size 31 x 46 cm (12.25 x 18.1 ins), hinge-mounted in a card window-mount Literature:Nagler 64: Kühn-Hattenhauer, p. 222.

A preliminary study for the ‘Roman Antiquary’ is held at the British Museum (accession number 1860,0414.1), with a dedication, dated 1623, to Cassiano dal Pozzo, in which the subject is named as “Joannem Altum, Militem Praetorianum, romanarum antiquitatum indagatorem, monstratoremque”. He is shown standing with his back to the Piazza del Quirinale so that the palace is on his left, and the groups of the ‘Dioscuri’ to his right. Both this drawing and the engraving, which are in the same direction, are on the same scale and correspond closely except for the absence in the former of the crowd of figures and carriages in the piazza and the different arrangement of the foreground. In the engraving the colossal foot is moved to the left hand side, immediately beyond the man’s right foot, and further to the left is an antique altar lying on its side, inscribed with Villamena’s signature and the words “PHOEBO ET MUSIS.S.”.

The inscription on the engraving describes Johannes Altus as one of the Swiss Guard who also acted as cicerone to the antiquities of Rome.

Since the Swiss Guard is recruited solely from the German-speaking cantons of Switzerland, ‘Joannes Altus’ must be a Latinisation of a German name. It seems highly probable that he is to be identified with the Johann Hoch of Lucerne who acted as guide to Dr Kaspar Stein when he visited Rome between 1619 and 1621.

The Allegory of Cardinal Pompeio Arrigoni (1552-1616) is rare; no impression has been traced at auction.

Erasmus of Rotterdam (1466 – 1536) was the most famous Dutch humanist of his day. A noted theologian and classical scholar, he published new editions in Latin and Greek of the New Testament, and his sermons and satirical writings were widely disseminated. Although he was critical of the Catholic Church, he never officially joined Luther and the other reformers, preferring instead to work for change as a priest within the Church. Called the “Prince of Humanists,” Erasmus was widely admired, and portraits of him were in great demand throughout Europe.

Erasmus and Holbein were close friends who become acquainted when both were living in Basel. It was there in 1523 that Holbein painted two important portraits of his friend, one of which is in the Musée du Louvre, Paris, and the other in the collection of the Earl of Radnor, Longford Castle, Salisbury. The latter portrait served as the model for subsequent images, which were produced in three different versions: a half-length view of Erasmus holding a book, either open or closed; a half-length figure with overlapping hands, exemplified by the painting from the Robert Lehman Collection; and a bust-length roundel of which the primary example is in the Kunstmuseum Basel. The Lehman Collection type, the most popular, inspired further copies, namely those from the workshop of Lucas Cranach the Elder after 1535 and others by Georg Pencz dated 1536 – 37. While in the Arundel Collection during the sixteenth century, the Lehman portrait was engraved by Lucas Vorsterman, then exiled in England, and this engraving was copied later by Andries Stock in a print dated 1628 made in The Hague. This particular image of Erasmus also served as the model for a woodcut in Sebastian Münster’s Cosmographia Universalis, the earliest German description of the world, published in Basel in 1550.

International lawyer Arthur Jaffé was an eminent scholar and collector of miniature paintings. He was an authority on John Smart, and spent many years researching the miniaturist, with the intention of writing a catalogue raisonné of the artist’s works. Although he died before the task could be completed, the body of work he had produced formed the basis of Daphne Foskett’s book, John Smart. The Man and his Miniatures, published in 1964. Painter of royalty and the aristocracy, Horace was the son of the Irish artist and miniaturist Nathaniel Hone. He was taught by his father before entering the Royal Academy Schools in 1770, exhibiting his work there between 1772 and 1822. In 1782 Hone moved to Dublin where he had a successful studio, and in 1795 was appoionted miniature painter to the Prince of Wales. However, his career was badly affected by the 1800 Act of Union which resulted in many of his fashionable patrons moving to London. He himself returned to London in 1804, but thereafter struggled financially and suffered from mental instability.

100* Smith (Mrs, early 19th century). Portrait miniature of Jane Elizabeth Booth née Wylde, 1837, watercolour and gouache on ivory, three-quarter length portrait of a young lady with brown hair worn in a plaited bun with curls, wearing a belted black gown with wide puffed sleeves, large drop earrings and a jewelled bangle, her right arm resting on a wooden table, a large vase of flowers to her left, and a view of the sky through an opening behind, some slight surface rubbing in a couple of places, 10.4 x 7.7 cm (4 1/8 x 3 ins), gilt moulded frame (with some loss), glazed (25 x 22 cm), verso with remains of artist’s engraved label and contemporary inscription in brown ink The artist’s label is engraved ‘Mrs Smith, Miniature Painter & Profilist.16 Strand, two doors from Buckingham Street’. The inscription below reads ‘A present from Captain Booth R.N. with dutiful Regards to his Father in Law Sir John Wylde Kt., presented on the 11th of May 1937 being the Anniversary of Sir John’s Birth - Miniature of Jane Elizabeth Daughter of Sir John Wylde, Wife of Captain Richard Boothe R.N.’ Portraits by female artists are uncommon, and we have been unable to discover any information about Mrs Smith.

The sitter, Jane Elizabeth Wylde, however, appears in the annals of history for being at the centre of a scandal which grew to have implications for British colonialism. Her father, Sir John Wylde, accepted the post of judge advocate in New South Wales, Australia, in 1815, and spent the next decade there with his wife and family. By all accounts he was a vain and acquisitive man, with a superficial manner and a quick temper, who lived beyond his means and was widely disliked. In 1825 Wylde returned to England accompanied by Jane and one of his sons, and was subsequently appointed Chief Justice in the Cape Colony of South Africa. He was joined there by the rest of the family, except for his wife who insisted on remaining in NSW (and who herself became mired in scandalous gossip pertaining to incest and adultery). In 1831 rumours started to abound about the unmarried Jane being pregnant. Sir John insisted that Jane had fallen prey to a disease which manifested itself in symptoms akin to pregnancy. However, a subsequent falling out with the physician who was attending his daughter, the fact that the Chief Justice was observed looking at gynaecological books in the public library, and the fact that he and his daughter spent April to August that year residing in seclusion at a country inn, did nothing to quell the rumours, which indeed, grew to include allegations of incest between father and daughter. On their return to society, the gossip continued unabated, and by 1833, a battle concerning the story was playing out between the Governor, Sir Lowry Cole, and the Chief Justice - the two highest officials - provoking a sensation in the press as well as extreme political tension leading to the threat of rebellion against the already unpopular colonial government. Ultimately Sir John appears to have been the victor, remaining Chief Justice until 1855. Jane, whose voice was never heard in the affair, married James Richard Booth in 1834 at St George’s Cathedral, Cape Town, shortly afterwards leaving the Colony for England, and moving to Tasmania in 1843, where she disappeared from historical records altogether.

Provenance: Private Collection, Monmouthshire.

Brett spent the winters of 1861–62 and 1862–63 in Florence, and sent Florence from Bellosguardo (1863), and another painting to the Royal Academy exhibition in 1863, but both were rejected. It is likely that he stayed in rooms let out at the Palazzo Frescobaldi: a letter from Robert Browning to Isa Blagden dated 27 June 1861, states ‘ Miss Haworth writes to Ba [Elizabeth Barrett Browning] “will you find out whether the Rooms in the Palazzo Frescobaldi which used to be let out to Mr and Mrs Agnew are likely to be let this winter” ‘, indicating that the Brownings may have enquired about availablity on behalf of Brett and his family.

While in Florence, Brett was supported by the poet and playwright Robert Browning, who lived in the city in Casa Guidi. Two years earlier, Browning’s wife, the poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning, had died there after a long illness. The painting was also intended as homage to Robert Browning for his help and assistance during this period. Brett wrote to Browning on the 7th April 1863, thanking him for his approbation of the work, and referring to Browning’s poem Old Pictures in Florence as a source of inspiration.

He moved with his parents to London when he was 12, and entered the Royal Academy Schools in 1832. Elmore exhibited at the R.A. from 1834 until 1861, becoming an associate member of the R.A. in 1844 and a full member in 1857. He travelled in Europe between 1840 and 1844, visiting Munich, Venice, Bologna, Rome and Florence. It is thought that Elmore was briefly associated with ‘The Clique’, a group of young artists following in the footsteps of William Hogarth and David Wilkie. Amongst other subjects, Elmore painted scenes from Shakespeare, works relating to the French Revolution, paintings on the theme of technological innovation as opposed to pre-industrialism, and moralistic genre paintings. Later on, by the late 1860s Elmore moved more towards the classicism of artists such as Lawrence Alma-Tadema and Edward Poynter, and dabbled also in the vogue for Orientalism.

One of the last great Victorian travelling artists, in 1872 he made an intensive tour of Italy and Switzerland with John Ruskin, and subsequently travelled beyond Europe to India, the South Seas, Australia, New Zealand and the US. Like Ruskin, Goodwin responded to landscape with a religious fervour and understanding; but he went further in his interpretation, experimenting with the style of James McNeill Whistler, Ruskin’s adversary in the field of aesthetics.

155* Herald (James Watterson, 1859-1914).

Despite the best efforts of the artist’s patron, John Taylor Ewen, he struggled to achieve commercial success in his own lifetime. Ewen invited the leading figure from the Glasgow School, Edward Arthur Walton, to visit Herald’s Arbroath studio in 1904, and a report in the Dundee Evening Telegraph stated that the artist was “very highly complimented” by his fellow Scot.

This drawing is almost certainly one of a number dating from Edward Lear’s tour of Europe in the summer of 1837. On July 10th that year the artist boarded the Antwerp packet, accompanied by his sister, Ann, who travelled with him as far as Brussels. On leaving Belgium Lear travelled through Luxembourg, Germany and Switzerland, reaching the Italian lakes by the autumn, arriving in Florence in November and Rome in December. In 2012 Christie’s sold a drawing of Sion in Switzerland by Lear, dated 17th September 1837, which, like the present work, was annotated with an ‘H’ to the lower right corner (Christie’s, London, Old Master & Early British Drawings and Watercolours, 3rd July 2012, lot 156).

164* Attributed to Tommaso Minardi (1787-1871). Pallas Athene; and Diana, pencil line drawings, circa 1823, both numbered with a decorative flourish in pen and brown ink upper right, Diana ‘126’ and Pallas Athene ‘82(?)’, Pallas Athene further dated and inscribed in pen and brown ink at the upper reverse sheet edge ‘-18(?)20’ / Annata à Lugini’, each on fine laid paper with an Encircled Fleur de Lys watermark, some minor foxing and staining towards the sheet edges, each 33 x 22.5 cm (13 x 8.75 ins), in matching mounts and glazed frames (61 x 45.5 cm)

Lady Susan Georgiana Broun Bourke (1837-1898) was the daughter of James Broun Ramsay and his wife Lady Susan Broun Ramsay, the first Marquess and Marchioness of Dalhousie. She lived at Coulston House, Haddington, where the Brouns still live; it is arguably the oldest house in Scotland, and certainly the oldest to have been inhabited by the same family since the day it was built.

Lord Dalhousie was the youngest Governor-General of India, holding the post between 1848 and 1856. During his tenure, the foundations of the modern educational system in India were established, large territories were conquered and annexed, and there was a vast expansion of the Indian road, railway, canal irrigation and telegraph services. Dalhousie was strongly opposed to the slave trade and suttee (the practice of a Hindu’s widow cremating herself on her husband’s funeral pyre). Despite, or perhaps because of, the progressive nature of many of his policies Dalhousie was blamed by many for fuelling the rebellion which led to the Indian Mutiny of 1857.

A Robert Mecham with the rank of Private is recorded as being stationed in Malta with the the 44th (The East Sussex) Regiment of Foot (1851 Worldwide Army Index). We have also traced a shipping log which mentions passengers on the paddle steamer ‘Feroze’ which left for Rangoon on 15th November 1856, among them ‘The Most Noble the Governor General, Lady Susan Ramsay, Mademoiselle Roulet ... A.D.C. Capt. Mecham’ (Indian Mail ... January-December 1856, published by William H. Allen, 1856).

Provenance: With Crispian Riley-Smith Fine Art Ltd, his labels verso; Private Collection, Herefordshire, England.

It is likely that the artist produced these neoclassical line drawings to be reproduced as etchings with aquatint by Lodovico Prosseda (flourished 1823), whose neoclassical, frieze like etching with aquatint, Hector, was executed after a drawing by Minardi and dated 1823, now in the British Museum (accession number 1872,1012.4721). The stylised, linear treatment of the etching is strongly akin to the present stylised drawing.

Minardi was an influential figure in the academic world of 19th century Italian art, who was appointed to the chair of drawing at the Accademia di San Luca, in 1822, a position he held until 1868.

In Feb 1806 the Monthly Mirror writes of Mr Bowles playing Richard, Macbeth, Hamlet and Shylock.

A collection of early 19th century plaster intaglios, known in Italian as 'impronte', manufactured by the Paoletti family, which became highly popular amongst aristocratic and fashionable travellers on the Grand Tour during the early part of the 19th century, especially from England.

176* Stephanoff (James, 1787-1874). Country Customs, six pencil drawings, pen and grey ink, with grey wash, depicting various country customs, comprising: Villagers gathering for the Beating the Bounds ceremony; The Dunmow Flitch; Riding the Stang; Laying a Ghost; Smock Racing; Heaving and Blessing the Wine, versos with Christies’ stencil WY732, sheet size 9.4 x 13.4 cm (3 3/4 x 5 1/4 ins), mounted, matching frames, glazed (26.2 x 29 cm) Provenance: Collection of Denis Gamberoni; Christie’s, London, British Art on Paper, 21st November 2007, lot 189.

“Stephanoff was among the first to paint historical scenes as pictures rather than as engravers material. His paintings show a good eye for costume and ceremonial detail and are elegant and highly finished.” (Mallalieu, Dictionary of British Watercolour Artists up to 1920, p.322) These drawings are illustrative of rural customs and country life. The Dunmow Flitch is a custom which is continued today and requires couples to demonstrate their marital harmony through a series of trials, the successful couple winning a flitch of bacon (half a pig). Riding the Stang was a New Years Day custom of making a man ride a pole called a cowlstaff or a woman ride in a basket, payment being demanded for release. Laying a Ghost is a celebration of All Hallows Eve (Halloween) on the 31st October, a festival rooted in pagan times. Smock Racing was a custom which allowed girls and women to race against each other for the chance to win a smock of fine linen. Heaving was a custom which took place at Easter: on Easter Monday the men would be lifted in a chair in turn and kissed by the womenfolk, whereupon the following day the roles would be reversed, payment being demanded for the treat. Blessing the Wine has origins from the pagan tradition of ‘wassailing’ a twelfth night tradition of visiting orchards to sing to the trees and spirits in the hope of ensuring a good harvest the following season.

Burrard (The Royal Engineers Journal, vol.14 no.3, pp.163– 186) his pictures "sold readily and they fetched high prices". Burrard quotes a lady visiting an exhibition and viewing Strahan's work as saying, "Strahan is no draftsman, and no colourist, yet he is a poet: all his paintings are poetry". Indeed, Burrard himself goes on to say that "no other painter has touched the Anglo-Indian public so profoundly as George Strahan. By means of his paintings he has taught that public to appreciate the poetic beauties of Indian scenery."

Bringing in the harvest, 1933, oil on canvas board, depicting a sunlit scene of a loaded haywain being drawn by a brown horse and a pair of grey horses, another horse-drawn cart in the background, signed and indistinctly dated with the end of the brush into the pigment lower left (‘27?), 49.7 x 60.2 cm (19 1/2 x 23 5/8 ins), framed (65.5 x 74.2 cm) Herbert Royle showed an early talent for painting, and he trained at the Harris Institute, Preston and the Southport School of Art, as well as taking lessons from John Buxton Knight, whose style greatly influenced him. He was a member of the Manchester Academy of Fine Arts, exhibiting there annually from 1894 for almost fifty years. From 1900, he also exhibited regularly at the Royal Scottish Academy, the Glasgow Institute, the Royal Society of Painters in Oils, and the Liverpool Academy, and his paintings are now held in a number of institutions, including the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool and Manchester City Art Gallery. As a painter of landscapes mainly in oils, Herbert Royle worked in an impressionistic style characterised by strong brush strokes, heavy impasto and bold vibrant colours. His romantic scenes of English haymaking, now so nostalgic, are particularly sought after.

Having moved to Nesfield near Ikley in 1924 he is often thought of as a Yorkshire artist. It was apparently a common sight for Royle’s contemporaries to see him cycling through the Dales, his easel strapped to his back, in search of suitable scenes to paint, in winter a hot potato in his pocket for the dual purchase of warming his hands and quelling his hunger at lunchtime.

The exhibition catalogue lists this painting as number 11 of the 15 works exhibited.

Sallie White, also known as Sally White Robinson, was born Sarah Lancashire White in Beverly Farms, Massachusetts. Sallie started painting seriously in 1936, and in 1942 she married the navigator-adventurer and writer William Albert Robinson. Although she sailed with him to Tahiti, living and painting there for some years, she missed the activity of city life and in 1951 returned alone to New York to pursue her career in art, exhibiting at the Carstairs Gallery, New York. A year later she travelled to Italy and remained there for many years, painting local landscapes and exhibiting at venus including the Obelisco Gallery and the Schneider Gallery. White had an especial love of horses, both riding and painting them. The Italian art magazine Eco di Roma, in November 1956 mentioned that “... her Cavalli (horses) painted with great talent are seemingly of life, giving the impression that they are in movement, thus showing the great ability of the artist.” Many of her paintings are in private collections in the United States of America.

Exhibited: Paintings by Nadia Benois, London: Arthur Tooth & Sons 1947, 24 September-18 October 1947.

Nadezhda Leontievna Ustinova (Russian: Надежда Леонтьевна Устинова; 27 April 1896 – 8 December 1975), née Benois (Бенуа), better known as Nadia Benois, painter, stage designer and writer, was born near St Petersburg, Russia, into a cosmopolitan family that included a number of distinguished artists. Her father was Louis Benois, architect to the Tsar; her uncle, who taught her, was the great stage designer Alexandre Benois. She studied at the St Petersburg Academy, and married the journalist Iona Ustinov, their son being the actor-playwright Peter Ustinov. Nadia Benois settled in England (from the early years of World War II the family lived in Gloucestershire). She had early successful shows at the Little Gallery, 1924, and with Arthur Tooth in 1929. She also showed with Goupil, Leicester and Matthiesen Galleries and widely abroad. Tate Gallery and Manchester City Art Gallery hold examples of her work. Michael Parkin Fine Art included Benois in an exhibition entitled ‘Three Women Painters’ in 1975.

Hertha Israel (1900-1962) married Maximilian Morgenstern (1883-1946) in 1922, and this picture was painted just prior to their marriage, presumably as a formal engagement portrait. Wealthy owner of a textile mill, Max Morgenstern was a bibliophile and art collector particularly known for his patronage and mentorship of Alfred Kubin, whose works he began collecting in the early 1900s. He and his wife had two children, both sons Charles Peter (Curt Peter) Morton and Robert William (Wolgang Robert) Morton. At the outbreak of WWII Max and Hertha were forced to flee their opulent home in Vienna, to England, where their sons were being educated.

The couple took very little with them, and most of their possessions were seized by the Nazis.

Max Liebermann lived and worked for a time in Munich, but in 1884 returned to Berlin where he remained for the rest of his life. Prior to the Second World War he was lauded by high society; noted particularly for his portraiture, it is not surprising that he was chosen to portray Hertha, a relation of the wealthy Rothschild family. However, as for his fellow-Jews the Morgensterns, the rise of Hitler sounded the death knell to life as he knew it. Liebermann withdrew from public life in 1933 and two years later, at the age of 87, he died.

Bought 1952 from an S.P.G exhibition in L’pool’ (1)

£300 - £500

Provenance: From the artist and thence by descent.

The smocking on the coat is believed by the family to have been stitched by the artist’s daughter, Janet (born 1917). The photograph of Charles Folkard wearing the smock and leaning over a garden gate was taken in the 1950s in Winchelsea, Sussex, where he and his son built a cottage on the Ridge near the beach.

Charles Folkard is best-known for his imaginative illustrative work for children’s books, as well as for creating the influential strip cartoon ‘Teddy Tail’. Before becoming an artist, Folkard was a magician and performed Punch and Judy shows, appearing under the pseudonym ‘Professor Volkard’. It is thought that he probably wore a velvet jacket and velvet smoking hat when in this guise. He only realised his artistic talents when he began designing programmes for his conjuring shows. Family reminiscences recall that at least one of his small grandsons found Folkard’s Punch and Judy shows quite terrifying, whilst later he cut quite a figure in his smock.

After leaving school he studied at Harrow Technical College and School of Art, subsequently spending five years working as an assistant in Arthur Orr’s stained glass workshop. In 1911 he began studying at the Central School of Arts and Crafts under Christopher Whall, where he was influenced by the Arts and Crafts Movement, and specifically by the philosophy and art of William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones. Nuttgens went on to produce stained glass designs for famous firms such as James Powell and Sons, as well as working for artists such as Paul Woodroffe in Chipping Campden. He later set up his own studio at Piggott’s Hill near High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, where he was influenced by his neighbour Eric Gill, contributing an East Window to the only church designed by Gill, the church of St Peter, Gorleston, in Norfolk. Nuttgens was associated with the Art Workers Guild and the Warham Guild, and was a Fellow of the British Society of Master Glass Painters. In turn he influenced other stained glass makers, including John Piper and Patrick Reyntiens, whose collaboration began in Nuttgens’s studio, and a number of his offspring followed him into the arts or decorative arts. His son, Joseph Ambrose Nuttgens, completed a window depicting wild flowers commissioned by Linda McCartney, one of the last designs his father worked on before his death in 1982. Nuttgens was prolific, producing around 300 stained glass windows, as well as executing designs and carrying out glasswork for other workshops and artists. The majority of his output is found in Britain, but his work can be found in churches as far flung as Hong Kong and Canada. The window executed from the design offered here can still be seen in Christ Church Anglican Church, in the remote rural community of Alert Bay on Cormorant Island, northeast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

Evangelist and religious writer Hannah Tatum Whitall Smith (1832-1911) was born into an influential Quaker family in Philadelphia. She married Robert Pearsall Smith who was also descended from a long line of Quakers. After struggles with her beliefs and the exploration of various other Christian doctrines and denoninations, Hannah came to a deep faith following the loss of her 5 year old daughter. She and her husband became speakers in the Holiness movement in the United States and the Higher Life movement in the UK, and they travelled to various countries in Europe to hold meetings and preach. Hannah wrote a widely-read book on the subject of Christian mysticism and practical Holiness theology entitled The Christian’s Secret of a Happy Life, published in 1875. She was also active in the women’s suffrage movement as well as the temperance movement. One of her daughters, Mary, married the art historian Bernard Berensen.

Ray Strachey, born Rachel Pearsall Conn Costelloe (1887-1940), was the daughter of Mary Berenson by her first husband Frank Costelloe. She was a feminist politician, mathematician, engineer, artist and writer, and, like her grandmother Hannah, worked tirelessly for the suffrage cause, publishing a number of writings on the subject, including The Cause published in 1928.

She married Oliver Strachey, brother of Lytton Strachey, in 1911.

The National Portrait Gallery holds a bromide print after Rothenstein’s portrait by an unknown photographer (NPG Ax160542). It was given to the NPG in 1999 by Barbara Strachey, daughter of Ray and Oliver, who also donated a platinum print of Hannah and Robert outside Friday’s Hill House (NPG Ax160670), their home in Fernhurst near Hazlemere, where they entertained artists, writers, musicians and intellectuals, William Rothenstein amongst them.

Margaret Stones (1920-2018) Australian born Margaret Stones started her formal art training at Swinburne Technical College in 1936 and continued it at the National Gallery of Victoria School from 1940 to 1942. The outbreak of war brought an uncertain future so Margaret decided to train as a nurse. Shortly after completing her nursing exams she was struck down by tuberculosis. During her eighteen month recovery she rediscovered the therapeutic value of drawing. Sir Clive Fitts, a hospital doctor who was also an art collector and patron, mentioned her work to the Director of the National Gallery of Victoria and encouraged Margaret to take up botanical drawing seriously. In 1951 Margaret arrived in London to work with botanists and develop her art, working for more than fifty years as a freelance botanical illustrator for the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew. She also illustrated The Endemic Flora of Tasmania, published as six vols in 1967-78, and completed The Flora of Louisiana for the Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge. She retired to Australia in 2001.

KATHLEEN HALE (1898-2000) Kathleen Hale is best known for writing and illustrating a series of books about Orlando, the Marmalade Cat. She started drawing at a young age, and as a teenager attended life-drawing classes at Manchester School of Art under M. Adolphe Valette, before studying under Allen Seaby as a scholarship student at Reading University College. Living in London, Hale became part of Jacob Epstein's set, having been initially invited to his parties by Meum Stuart - Epstein's favourite model. During the latter part of the First World War she joined the Land Army as a carter, producing many sketches of horses as a result.

Once the War ended, Hale obtained work designing dust-jackets for W.H. Smith.

As a member of the Studio Club in Regent Street, Hale met the artist Frank Potter with whom she had a love affair that lasted several years. In her autobiography A Slender Reputation Hale describes how Potter introduced her to the work of the Post-Impressionists which "opened my eyes and my mind" (p.78). Potter worked at the Slade School of Art, while Hale took various menial jobs. In 1920, struggling to make ends meet, Kathleen met Augustus John who asked what art project she was working on.

When Hale described her various paid occupations, John exclaimed that they were "a monstrous misuse of [her] talents", offering her work as his secretary (p.85). During this time Kathleen became great friends not only with Augustus himself, but also his wife Dorelia, or 'Dodo', and their family and friends.

Hale worked for John for around 16 months, after which she left to join Frank Potter in Étaples, France, where she drew many of the local characters: poor fisherwomen, their babies and children. Encouraged

by Augustus John, Hale exhibited some of the pencil drawings she had produced during this time. They sold well at the Grosvenor Gallery and the New English Art Club and were reproduced in a number of art journals. She began to receive a wide variety of commissions, and became part of the artistic circle known as Fitzrovia. Hale became friends with many other artists, for example she met Arthur Lett-Haines and Cedric Morris in Paris in the 1920s, and she later frequented the bohemian Benton End community where they had established the East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing.

In 1923, while sick in hospital, Hale met Dr John McClean, eventually marrying his son Douglas, a young doctor himself. Having gained greater financial security, she studied under Bernard Meninsky at the Central School of Arts and Crafts, taking formal lessons in oil painting for the first time. She also experimented in collage and assemblage, exhibiting at the Lefèvre Gallery, amongst other places. When Douglas and Kathleen's first son, Peregrine, was born, they left the smoke of London and moved to Rabley Willow in Hertfordshire, which would appear in many of her paintings, as did scenes garnered on holidays, such as a "working" holiday in Spain taken with Vyvyan Holland and a family holiday to Sneem in County Kerry, Ireland. Hale began her most famous project, the adventures of Orlando the Marmalade Cat, as bedtime stories for her sons, and in 1976 she received an OBE for her work as an illustrator.

The items offered here are from the family archive. The photograph shown, taken circa 1934/35, portrays Kathleen Hale with her youngest son Nicholas, and Orlando, the 'original' marmalade cat.

291* Hale (Kathleen, 1898-2000). An archive collection of 44 drawings and sketches, most on paper, a few on thin card or board, several laid down, many signed, several inscribed or annotated on recto or verso, some numbered on verso, comprising: 9 pencil sketches, subjects include Bill, the family’s black poodle, Frank Potter, Ronald Moody, and Jane Peers; 21 watercolours, most with pencil or pen & black ink, generally landscapes, a few abstract or still-life, a couple of nudes; 14 pen & ink sketches, including many humorous scenes, and a rough sketch of Celia Johnson, plus some later reworkings of two sketches reproduced in her autobiography, and a framed and glazed humorous pencil sketch produced in 1913, when Hale was just 15 years old, various conditions and sizes, contained together in a large drop-spine box (63.7 x 51.5 cm) Bill, the black poodle, was the McClean’s first family dog. In her autobiography A Slender Reputation, Kathleen Hale describes how “Bill became the boisterous anti-hero of my next book, Orlando Keeps a Dog”. The watercolour landscapes include scenes in Spain, Portugal, Ireland, France, and Yorkshire. The reworked sketches reproduced in A Slender Reputation can be found on pages 174 & 219.

John Broadwood (1732-1812) produced his first piano in 1771. He traded as John Broadwood & Son from 1795 and when his third son joined in 1808, the firm assumed the name of John Broadwood & Sons Ltd. Characteristically for Broadwoods of the early 1820s, this one has the wrestpins for the top notes moved to the right, which reduces crowding at the narrow end of the main wrestplank. Soon after this, the divided bridge was introduced, but this one is still single. A handsome piano with a crossbanded case and motifs on the front corners. Brass inlay to the rosewood nameboard, and brass embellishments on the legs and around the lower edge of the case.

It has been suggested that the present example might once have been in the collection of Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), third President of the United States. Certainly, he visited Broadwood’s London showroom in Great Pulteney Street, Soho in 1785, to discuss musical instruments with the proprietor.

After 1793, when James Shudi Broadwood was made a partner in the firm, the inscription was changed to read ‘John Broadwood & Son’. The serial number inside the piano is 1720, which is correct for 1792, and the Latinized inscription. With thanks to David Hackett (Friends of Square Pianos) for this additional information.

HISTORIC TEXTILES

527* Bag. A bag made of seeds, probably Southeast Asia, late 19th/early 20th century, pentagon-shaped bag composed entirely of seeds strung together with black cotton thread, mainly of ipil seeds, but also incorporating details in larger brown seeds, with flap and loop closure, pendants hanging from the 3 lower corners, and a short handle, overall size (including handle and pendants) 36 x 28 cm (14.25 x 11 ins) A most unusual and intriguing object.

Occasionally such bags (as well as necklaces of similar construction) have appeared at auction, often classified as Tasmanian apple seed bags.

However, research has since suggested that not only is there no evidence of these items having been made by Aboriginal Tasmanians, but also that the seeds are not apple pips, but ipil seeds, which come from a tropical plant which does not grow in Tasmania.

Two pieces of early French linen of exceptional quality, of the sort that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. Each sheet is hand-woven from yarn that was hand-spun, giving a quality of texture which can never be reproduced via commercial means, and producing a final product which is amazingly durable. The handstitched centre seams are a particular sign of early sheets, as hand-woven fabrics were produced in much narrower widths than could be produced on wide machine looms. These sheets will have been washed many times, and are therefore unsusceptible to shrinking, and they can be beautifully enhanced using vegetable dyes. Each farm in France had its own field of flax, and so these sheets are almost certain to have been spun and woven on the site where the raw material was grown. Such linen formed an important part of a young girl’s trousseau, and hence would often be embroidered with the initials of the bride and her betrothed. More rarely pieces of linen would be dated, as here.

A large and important redwork panel, British, circa 1620, embroidered in very fine wool thread dyed with cochineal beetle red, on a cream twilled fustian ground, with all-over pattern of flora and fauna, the former comprising: pomegranates, magnolia flowers, daffodils, harebells, aquilegia, lilies, and the latter: leopards, parrots, stags, squirrels, hounds, hares, and an elephant carrying a three-turreted castle on its back, fine line border to long sides, the outlines worked in stem stitch, with details in seeding, back, running, and lazy daisy stitches, 2 hand-stitched vertical joins with imagery continuous (each of the 3 widths approximately 49cm), handstitched horizontal join 35 cm up from lower edge (embroidery not continuous), side and lower edges bound with linen tape (that to left hand edge largely frayed), neatly stitch-mounted to a double layer cream backing, with velcro along top edge, some loss to embroidery and consequently pencil outlines visible in places, but stitching largely intact (although renewed in 1 or 2 small areas with pale brown thread), occasional small marks and some perishing of fustian ground (with stitched areas of consolidation), 2 areas of embroidery carefully cut round and re-mounted on new backing (approximately 23 x 9 cm and 59 x 16cm), overall size 216 x 149 cm (85 x 58.5 ins) Provenance: Private collection.

Exhibited: Royal School of Needlework Exhibition, Irish Linen Centre in Lisburn Museum, May 2009-May 2010. The piece has also been displayed at the Royal School of Needlework at Hampton Court Palace on a number of occasions.

Redwork embroidery of the early 17th century is rarely offered for sale even in small fragments, and therefore the importance of this large-scale piece new to the market - cannot be overstated. Redwork typically features detached but lively motifs regularly spaced in an organised design over a white linen or cotton ground, and was usually carried out by women who used it to decorate domestic furnishings such as bedcovers and hangings, cushions, workbags and curtains, as well as articles of dress.

This substantial piece of embroidery, and its two companion pieces (see following lot) are likely to have been originally part of a set of bed hangings. Elaborate hand-work was treasured and handed down, and these pieces may have been modified in the 17th or 18th century in order to repurpose and infuse new life into them. Certainly they were subjected to a quite radical alteration, perhaps by a prudish Victorian owner, when the appendages protruding from the dogs were unstitched, in order to protect the sensibilities of the viewer! The outlines of tiny holes where the needle went through the fabric are still clearly visible, testament to a fascinating tale in the history of this panel.

The broadly, but not perfectly, repeating design depicts stylised fruit and flowers, mostly of similar size, and a variety of beasts whose dimensions bear no relation to each other. This lack of proportional scale and freedom of distribution of motifs is typical of other work of the time. Both domestic and professional embroiderers took inspiration from pattern books, such as Richard Schorleyker’s A Schole-House for the Needle published in 1624, although other publications such as emblem books, herbals, illuminated manuscripts and bestiaries would also have provided imagery which could be copied or modified for transfer onto cloth. Thus the variation found within the all-encompassing term of ‘redwork’ is wide, each piece reflecting the individuality of the stitcher.

The lone elephant shown to the lower left of the panel is an unusual, and therefore unexpected, inclusion, although the elephant and castle motif was widely known at the time. Indeed, in the mid-14th century the symbol was included on the coat of arms of the city of Coventry. The elephant is associated with a number of attributes, including wisdom, loyalty, chastity, strength and power, so perhaps it is not so surprising that the maker here branched out to include such a magnificent creature.

Early redwork pieces, particularly of this size, are few and far between in institutions, but there are two notable examples which bear a strong resemblance to the piece offered here: a bedcover held by The Art Institute of Chicago (reference number 1986.988); and a bed curtain housed in The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (40.88a-f). Smaller pieces are held by the Royal School of Needlework, the Embroiderers’ Guild, and the V&A. (1) £10,000 - £15,000

Lot 558 meticulously-stitched items of needlework also appear sometimes to have been used to carry small objects such as a pair of gloves, a handkerchief, an almanac, or a small Bible or Book of Prayer, or as gift bags for items such as gold coins. Sometimes a matching pincushion is attached, suggesting the bag was used to contain sewing tools. Such gifts were frequently bestowed on Queen Elizabeth I, for example, to mark the New Year in 1565, William Huggans, Keeper of the Gardens at Hampton Court, gave “twelve sweete bags of taphata enbrauderid with flowers of Venice golde and silver” to the Queen as part of the festive celebrations.

The needlework of the 16th and early 17th century invariably looked to nature for its motifs. Both domestic and professional embroiderers used not only pattern books such as Richard Schorleyker’s A Schole-House for the Needle published in 1624, but also herbals, emblem books and bestiaries to provide inspiration. A sweet bag of this fineness and delicacy would have been owned by someone of affluence and social standing, and the materials used, as well as the images depicted, would have been chosen to make a statement about the wealth of the owner. At a time when the tulip was prized above all other flowers, it is not surprising that it is given prominence here. Furthermore, striped tulips were the rarest, and therefore the most sought after and expensive. In particular the redfeathered Semper Augustus tulip, which our embroiderer has chosen to dominate the design, was the rarest and most valuable of them all.

Provenance: Private collection.

A beautiful example of an early 17th century embroidered reticule in exceptionally good condition. The term ‘sweete bag’ was used in inventories in the 16th and 17th centuries to describe such a receptacle, usually embroidered, which could be filled with dried flowers, aromatic herbs, or scented powder, and thereby used to perfume clothing or stored linens, as well as deter moths and other insects. It is thought that such bags might also have been carried by ladies and used in the same way as a pomander, to ward off infection and unpleasant odours. These

(2) £100 - £150

A fascinating piece of social ephemera revealing the wide variety of goods supplied to the firm of Bryan & Thomas J. Reynolds in Faringdon (then in Berkshire, now in Oxfordshire), from cloth of all kinds (linen, wool, silk, cotton) to ribbons, laces, needles, buttons, trimmings, slops, hats, parasols and umbrellas. Reynolds sourced their stock from both London and the English textile manufacturing towns and districts, such as Yorkshire, Wiltshire, Manchester, Redditch, Norwich, and Bristol. The majority of the bills detail purchases and costs, although some also include additional notes of goods sent on approval.

We have been unable to find any other documentation concerning the Reynolds' enterprise in the busy market town of Faringdon, although the proprietors are mentioned in a lease and release document dated 1804 concerning The Five Alls (a public house at Filkins, Oxfordshire, still in existence), as two of the five parties listed: "Bryan Reynolds the younger of Great Faringdon, Berks., mercer" and "Thomas Reynolds of Highworth, Wilts., mercer". Another document, a release and assignment concerning deeds of land and property in the area of Clanfield, Oxfordshire, lists "Thomas Reynolds of Highworth, Wilts, linen draper and others" amongst the protagonists.

Some of the supplying firms are: 'Gillman, Lucas, & Copling, 72, Newgate Street, Lacemen, Ribbon & Silk Manufacturers, Importers of French Cambrics'; 'Francis & Samuel Eveleigh, 58, Union Street, Southwark, Manufacturers of Light Water Proof Beaver Hats, On an entirely new principle, warranted to resist the effects of all kinds of damp, and the Nap to wear free to the last'; 'J.W. Robberds & Sons, St Saviour's, Norwich, Manufacturers of Bombazines, Plaids, Camblets &c. &c.; 'Adams & Son, Manufacturers of Umbrellas & Parasols, No. 207, High Holborn, nearly opposite Bloomsbury Square, Hat Covers, Bathing Caps, Black painted Cloth, Oil'd Silk & Linen'; and 'James Thomas, and Samuel Fossick, Flannel, Baize and Blanket Warehousemen, Mumford Court, Milk Street, A Large Assortment of Calamancoes and Bombazets'.

The wealth of detail contained in these invoices gives an intriguing insight into the operation of a busy draper’s shop during the Regency period.

Just over two years before Margot Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev embarked on their remarkable partnership, on 20th December 1959 the BBC, in collaboration with The Royal Ballet, transmitted a live production of Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty starring Margot Fonteyn and Michael Somes. It was shown only once, and received great acclaim. In 2014 edited highlights of the production were shown again, presented by Darcey Bussell, including footage, thought lost, which had been recently found. The rediscovered reel contained not only the famous Kiss Scene in which Princess Aurora is awakened by the Prince, but also the Vision Scene (Act II) in which the Princess is attired in this tutu. Throughout her long career Dame Margot Fonteyn, the only English prima ballerina assoluta, was particularly lauded for her interpretations of Aurora in Tchaikovsky's iconic ballet. As well as starring one of the greatest ballerinas of all time in one of her key roles, the BBC production also featured prima ballerina Antoinette Sibley, and Judith Sinclair, who became a soloist with The Royal Ballet. Sibley and Sinclair played two of the fairy godmothers, Fairy Crystal and Fire Fairy respectively (the latter name apparently chosen specifically for this production). The three tutus, designed by Jane Scrase Dickins, evidently found their way into a costume hire business shortly after the production, from where they were rescued by the present owner over 50 years ago.

In 1905, the Museum held its first exhibition of Paisley shawls in recognition of the impact the textiles had had on the town’s fortunes, and with the hope of further donations of shawls to enhance the collections.

The exhibition, showcasing 650 shawls, attracted around 16,000 visitors over a 3 week period and 3,000 catalogues were sold; it was so popular the closing date had to be extended.

Many contributers gifted their shawls to the museum permanently when the exhibition concluded. Much of the organization of the event, along with the writing of a commemorative volume, was undertaken by Matthew Blair, a former weaver and local historian. He thanked the many ladies who had attended, but also suggested that they should be helping to uphold the industry by wearing their shawls more in public. Indeed, one elderly lady was praised for attending in her white centred Paisley shawl, thereby becoming a “walking exhibit”.

CONDITIONS OF SALE AND BUSINESS 1. The Seller warrants to the Auctioneer and the buyer that he is the true owner or is properly authorised to sell the property by the true owner and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims.

2. (a) The highest bidder to be the buyer. If during the auction the Auctioneer considers that a dispute has arisen he has absolute authority to settle it or re-offer the lot. The Auctioneer may at his sole discretion determine the advance of bidding or refuse a bid, divide any lot, combine any two or more lots or withdraw any lot without prior notice. (b) Where goods are bought at auction by a buyer who has entered into an agreement with another or others that the other or others (or some of them) shall abstain from bidding for the goods and the buyer or other party or one of the other parties is a dealer (as defined in the Auction Biddings Agreement Act 1927) the buyer warrants that the goods are bought bona fide on joint account.

3. The buyer shall pay the price at which a lot is knocked down by the Auctioneer to the buyer (“the hammer price”) together with a premium of 20% of the hammer price. Where the lot is marked by an asterisk the premium will be subject to VAT at 20% which under the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme will form part of the buyer’s premium on our invoice and will not be separately identified (the premium added to the hammer price will hereafter collectively be referred to as “the total sum due”). By making any bid the buyer acknowledges that his attention has been drawn to the fact that on the sale of any lot the Auctioneer will receive from the seller commission at its usual rates in addition to the said premium of 20% and assents to the Auctioneer receiving the said commission.

4. (a) The buyer shall forthwith upon the purchase give in his name and permanent address and pay to the Auctioneer immediately after the conclusion of the auction the total sum due. (b) The buyer may be required to pay down during the course of the sale the whole or any part of the total sum due, and if he fails to do so after such request the lot or lots may at the Auctioneer's absolute discretion be put up again and resold immediately. (c) The buyer shall at his own expense take away any lot or lots purchased no later than five working days after the auction day. (d) The Auctioneer may at his own discretion agree credit terms with a buyer and extend the time limits for collection in special cases but otherwise payment shall be deemed to have been made only after the Auctioneer has received cash or a sterling banker’s draft or the buyer's cheque has been cleared.

5. (a) If the buyer fails to pay for or take away any lot or lots pursuant to clause 4 or breaches any other condition of that clause the Auctioneer as agent for the seller shall be entitled after consultation with the seller to exercise one or other of the following rights: (i) Rescind the sale of that or any other lots sold to the buyer who defaults and re-sell the lot or lots whereupon the defaulting buyer shall pay to the Auctioneer any shortfall between the proceeds of that sale after deduction of costs of re-sale and the total sum due. Any surplus shall belong to the seller. (ii) Proceed for damages for breach of contract. (b) Without prejudice to the Auctioneer's rights hereunder if any lots or lots are not collected within five days or such longer period as the Auctioneer may have agreed otherwise, the Auctioneer may charge the buyer a storage charge of £1.00 + VAT at the current rate per lot per day. (c) Ownership of the lot purchased shall not pass to the buyer until he has paid to the Auctioneer the total sum due.

6. (a) The seller shall be entitled to place a reserve on any lot and the Auctioneer shall have the right to bid on behalf of the seller for any lot on which a reserve has been placed. A seller may not bid on any lot on which a reserve has been placed. (b) Where any lot fails to sell, the Auctioneer shall notify the seller accordingly. The seller shall make arrangements either to re-offer the lot for sale or to collect the lot and may be asked to pay a commission not exceeding 50% of the selling commission and any special expenses incurred in cataloguing the lot. (c) If such arrangements are not made within seven days of the notification the Auctioneer is empowered to sell the lot by auction or by private treaty at not less than the reserve price and to receive from the seller the normal selling commission and special expenses.

7. Any representation or statement by the Auctioneer in any catalogue, brochure or advertisement of forthcoming sales as to authorship, attribution, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price is a statement of opinion only. Every person interested should exercise and rely on his own judgement as to such matters and neither the Auctioneer nor his servants or agents are responsible for the correctness of such opinions. No warranty whatsoever is given by the Auctioneer or the seller in respect of any lot and any express or implied warranties are hereby excluded.

8. (a) Notwithstanding any other terms of these conditions, if within fourteen days of the sale the Auctioneer has received from the buyer of any lot notice in writing that in his view the lot is a deliberate forgery and within fourteen days after such notification the buyer returns the same to the Auctioneer in the same condition as at the time of the sale and satisfies the Auctioneer that considered in the light of the entry in the catalogue the lot is a deliberate forgery then the sale of the lot will be rescinded and the purchase price of the same refunded.

"A deliberate forgery" means a lot made with intention to deceive. (b) A buyer's claim under this condition shall be limited to any amount paid to the Auctioneer for the lot and for the purpose of this condition the buyer shall be the person to whom the original invoice was made out by the Auctioneer.

9. Lots may be removed during the sale after full settlement in accordance with 4(d) hereof.

10.

In the case of miscellaneous books, the Auctioneer reserves the right to extract and dispose of books that, in the opinion of the Auctioneer at his absolute discretion, have no saleable value and, therefore, might detract from the saleability of the rest of the lot and the Auctioneer shall incur no liability to the seller, in respect of the books disposed of. By delivering the goods to theAuctioneer for inclusion in his auction sales each seller acknowledges that he/she accepts and agrees to all the conditions.

11. (a) Unless otherwise instructed in writing all goods on the Auctioneer's premises and in their custody will be held insured against the risks of fire, burglary, water damage and accidental breakage or damage.

The value of the goods so covered will be the hammer price, or in the case of unsold lots the lower estimate, or in the case of loss or damage prior to the sale that which the specialised staff of the Auctioneer shall in their absolute discretion estimate to be the auction value of such goods. (b) The Auctioneer shall not be responsible for damage to or the loss, theft, or destruction of any goods not so insured because of the owner’s written instructions.

12. The Auctioneer shall remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller thirty days after the day of the auction provided that the Auctioneer has received the total sum due from the buyer. In all other cases the Auctioneer will remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller within seven days of the receipt by the Auctioneer of the total sum due. The Auctioneer will not be deemed to have received the total sum due until after any cheque delivered by the buyer has been cleared. In the event of the Auctioneer exercising his right to rescind the sale his obligation to the seller hereunder lapses.

13. In the case of the seller withdrawing instructions to the Auctioneer to sell any lot or lots, the Auctioneer may charge a fee of 12.5% of the Auctioneer's middle estimate of the auction price of the lot withdrawn together with Value Added Tax thereon and any expenses incurred in respect of the lot or lots.

14. The Auctioneer’s current standard notices and information (i.e. Collation and Amendments) will apply to any contract with the Auctioneer as if incorporated herein.

15. These conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English Law.
