EARLY PLAYING CARDS FROM THE COLLECTION OF THE LATE JAIME ORTIZ-PATINO Jaime Ortiz-Patino (1930–2013) created one of the greatest collections of playing cards ever held in private hands. His lifelong fascination with cards and card games eventually led to his appointment as President Emeritus of the World Bridge Federation, an office he held at the time of his death. He had previously served as President of the same organisation no less than three times during the 1970s and 1980s. His vast collection contains many extremely rare and remarkable sets of cards from all over the world, and includes early 18th & 19th century manuscript, hand-coloured and printed playing cards, depicting European costume, historical figures, heraldry and tarot symbols, including one set previously in the renowned Schreiber Collection. Transformation cards, often relating to a specific theme, such as the story of Beatrice, the French Second Empire, Munchner Bilderbogen, nursery rhymes, etc., are especially well-represented in a variety of examples from the early 19th century onwards. Unusual editions from the late Victorian era include fine advertising, anthropomorphic, circus and American harlequin sets.

French-suited tarot packs most commonly comprise seventy-eight, fifty-four, or fifty-two cards, although there are examples of 56-card packs in the British Museum. Sylvia Mann says that she is not wholly convinced that the latter are not simply tarot packs which lack the twenty-two trump cards, although she does concede that ‘the many versions of tarot games in southern Germany may well account for the absence of the trump cards and the presence of the knight’.

Beatrix Potter (1866-1943)

A miniature autograph letter signed “Peter Rabbit”, early 1900s, written in a tiny hand ‘Dear Madam, The last little girl that wrote was Miss Joan Perkins of Leeds & she wanted a Teddy Bear! I want spring cabbages. I am turned into a gardener myself. Peter Rabbit’, rectangular, with two folds and a triangular flap at the top, to form an envelope when folded, the verso addressed to ‘Miss M.E. Lockhart, The Hewk’, and with a hand-drawn ‘postage stamp’ in red, overall size 61 x 20mm (approx. 2.5 x 1ins)

written between March 1892 and August 1912; miniature letters written between the early 1900s and her marriage in 1913; and more conventional letters written between 1906 and 1942. Her miniature letters were written on a narrow slip of paper that either folded into the shape of an envelope, or fitted into its own tiny envelope, and they were all written as if from one of her characters: ‘They mark a change of gear in her letter-writing to children, almost as if, conscious of her young friends getting older, she felt she should provide them with more than just news. A full appreciation of the miniature letters is enhanced by a knowledge of the books.’ One family who were recipients of such letters - though few now survive - were the Moores. Annie Carter, Beatrix’s last governess, and close friend, married Edwin Moore and had eight children. Beatrix made a small cloth post bag lettered in ink ‘G.P.O.’ in which she sent her letters to the Moore children. Similarly, Lucie and Kathleen Carr, the daughters of a Lake District clergyman received their miniature letters posted in tiny red tin letter boxes. Lucie Carr said: ‘“As we played postmen with them for hours, it is wonderful that any of them have survived”‘. Indeed, such letters rarely come onto the market and of those which have been preserved, the majority are in institutions. The two letters offered here have been kept for over a century by the family of the original recipient, and therefore have never before been on the open market. (Judy Taylor, Letters to Children from Beatrix Potter, Frederick Warne, 1992) (1) £2000-3000

Provenance: from the daughter of Margaret Elliot-Lockhart, the recipient of the letter. Margaret, born in 1894, was the daughter of Colonel Robert ElliotLockhart, who served with the Indian Army and lived at The Hewke, near Lockerbie. As a child Margaret wrote to Beatrix Potter and this was one of two miniature letters she had in reply. Margaret later married and had two children. In 1947 the family left their Gloucestershire home and emigrated to Kenya. The letters went into storage where they stayed until their daughter returned to live in England in 1965. For nearly fifty years the letters have been kept by her and shown only to family, appearing here in public for the first time. Beatrix Potter wrote to children who were known to her as well as those who were not, but who wrote simply because they loved her books. She received letters from children all over the world, and she appeared always to write back. Her letters fall into three categories: picture letters which were

Helena Mott’s father was Joseph Mott, the art director at Royal Doulton from 1897. Around 1908 Beatrix Potter began modelling the characters from her tales in clay, and her friend, Katherine Smallfield, a director at the Lambeth Studio of Royal Doulton, recommended that she contact Joseph Mott to determine if Royal Doulton would like to produce her beautiful tiny clay figures, and so Beatrix came to know the Mott family.

Beatrix Potter wrote of the real Benjamin Bunny that he was ‘extremely fond of hot buttered toast... [and] used to hurry into the drawing-room when he heard the tea-bell!’ (Elizabth Buchan, Beatrix Potter, The Story of the Creator of Peter Rabbit, Warne, 1998).

Rare: only 500 copies printed. Inscribed on the front free endpaper: ‘To Nellie Wilkinson Christmas Day 1902 With best wishes from Beatrix Potter’. Nellie was the niece of the two sisters, Hannah and Elizabeth Harper, whom Beatrix’s mother brought from her childhood home in Stalybridge to work at the Potter family house in Bolton Gardens, Kensington. Beatrix was very fond of Nellie and apparently gave her a copy of each new book as it was published (Judy Taylor, The Beatrix Potter Society Newsletter No. 61, p.18). The story of the Tailor of Gloucester was first told in a letter from Beatrix to Freda Moore, daughter of her former governess, Annie Carter. Although Frederick Warne had taken up Beatrix’s ‘Bunny Book’, as they referred to ‘Peter Rabbit’, and published it in October 1902, the author felt that they might not wish to publish a second book so soon, or that they might want to alter it too much. So she returned to Strangeways, the original printers of ‘Peter Rabbit’, and herself paid for a private edition of 500 copies to be printed. The book differs considerably in both text and illustration from Warne’s later edition of 1903. Of all her books ‘The Tailor of Gloucester’ remained Beatrix Potter’s own favourite.

Richard Jefferies (1848-1887) The Hugoe Matthews Collection An eminent and pioneering thoracic surgeon who specialised in diseases of the oesophagus, Hugoe Matthews (1938-2011) was also an authority on the Victorian novelist and nature writer Richard Jefferies, of whose works he created probably the finest collection in private hands. In collaboration with George Miller, Matthews wrote the definitive bibliography of Jefferies’ works, published by Scolar Press in 1993 and served for many years as President of the Richard Jefferies Society.

Despite his full-time work as a consultant surgeon at East Birmingham Hospital, and as a Professor of Thoracic Surgery at the University of Warwick, he was still able to write a number of books on his favourite author, including The Forward Life of Richard Jefferies (1994), Richard Jefferies: An Index of Themes, Thoughts and Observations (2008), Richard Jefferies: An Anthology (2010, with Rebecca Welshman), as well as a bibliography of the early 20th century nature writer Henry Williamson (2004).

All of the major works of Richard Jefferies are represented by first editions in the original cloth, often in remarkably fine condition. Also present are many scarce pamphlets or tracts issued by Jefferies in his early years, rare photographs of the author and documentation covering his life and family, including eighteen original letters in his hand.

312 Eliot (Thomas Stearns, 1888-1965). A Sketch of T. S.

Eliot from their first meeting in 1937 until an unfortunate falling out over a ‘trivial misunderstanding’ in 1964, with frequent mentions of Eliot’s and Duncan’s various poetry and play projects, anecdotes concerning their shared friend Ezra Pound, encounters with other artists, evidence of Eliot’s homophobia with reference to Benjamin Britten, Jean Cocteau and Oscar Wilde (pp. 24 & 30), many conversations reported in speech form, orig. spiral-bound card covers with literary agents’ label to upper cover, slim folio Ronald Duncan (1914-1982, writer, poet and playwright) is perhaps best remembered now as librettist for Benjamin Britten’s Opera ‘The Rape of Lucretia’ (anecdotes about which appear in this brief biography). T. S. Eliot became Duncan’s mentor and publisher while working for Faber in the 1940s and 1950s. The relationship seems to have been close and ended when Eliot read of their first meeting in a proof of Duncan’s autobiography : ‘I was impressed by his immaculate clean collar and carefully manicured fingernails’.

In the margin ‘Eliot has scribbled the angry comment “Does Ronnie think I’m effeminate?”. Of course that was not my intention I was merely contrasting a genuine poet’s appearance with a grubbiness which many poetasters employed as a uniform to indicate their artiness. I wrote and gave Eliot this explanation ... But he did not accept my apology. We have tripped up over a tiddly-wink. I never heard from him again. That was sad. When we lose a friend we are in exile from ourself.’ Provenance: Given to the vendor by Duncan as a potential publishing project thirty years ago.

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 19.5% of the hammer price. Where the lot is marked by an asterisk the premium will be subject to VAT at 23.40% 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 19.5% 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. All goods delivered to the Auctioneer's premises will be deemed to be delivered for sale by auction unless otherwise stated in writing and will be catalogued and sold at the Auctioneer's discretion and accepted by the Auctioneer subject to all these conditions. 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 the Auctioneer 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 best bid, 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.
