Kircher`s theories included the notion that the world`s oceans were all interconnected and thus this map depicts subterranean tunnels connecting the oceans and seas.

Such atlases were compiled by order of the Shogun Tokugawa and given as gifts to his favoured warlords. Many of the feudal fortresses in Japan were subsequently destroyed by war and fire, their archives were lost, and thus few such examples survive. Further Ino Tadataka material is scarce as most of his surviving maps were assembled in the late 1800s by an imperial functionary and avid Ino collector. They were subsequently stored in the Royal Palace archives which were themselves, tragically, destroyed by fire in 1912.

Provenance: Given to Captain Edward Reginald Kersley DSO (1883-1976) of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers by the younger brother of Winston Churchill, Major John Strange ‘Jack’ Spencer Churchill (1880-1947). The inscription is not in Jack’s hand and would appear to be in the hand of Kersley who along with his own brother and the Churchill brothers attended Harrow School. In the Harrovian War Supplement (September 1918) it is noted that Kersley received his Bar to DSO for when ‘he took command of his battalion at short notice, and organised and launched an attack which was completely successful, capturing the final objective. He showed great initiative and skill throughout’.

Jack Churchill, who had served in the South African Light Horse alongside his war correspondent brother in the second Boer war in 1899-1900, also fought in World War I, where he was again mentioned in Dispatches. He served on the staff of Field Marshal Lord French, General Sir Ian Hamilton and Field Marshal Lord Birdwood, being awarded the DSO in 1918.

In particular he defended the existence of spirits, and their ability to communicate with human beings, against the criticisms of Balthasar Bekker. His efforts were praised by Fowler, and by William Nicolson, bishop of Carlisle, and was said to have converted his old adversary, Thomas Burnet’ (ODNB).

202 Bracton (Henry de). De legibus et consuetudinibus Angliae libri quin[que], 1st edition, London: Richard Tottell, 1569, roman type, woodcut initials (several on criblé ground), shallow tide-mark to head of gutter in first 10 or so quires, closed tear in leaf 3G4 extending into bottom 10 lines of text, light marginal worming from leaf 5K1 to end, contemporary ink annotations to initial blank and head of title-page, near-contemporary blind-ruled calf, manuscript spine-title, worm-tracks to foot of spine, wear to foot of front joint, a little surface-wear to covers, folio (28.9 x 18.5cm) Provenance: Sir Daniel Dun (or Donne, c.1545-1617), ecclesiastical lawyer, with his ownership inscription ‘Daniel Dun, prec [i.e. price] xi[?]6’ (scored through) to the head of the title-page.

Dun was admitted a fellow of All Souls, Oxford, in 1567 and became principal of New Inn Hall in 1580. He rose rapidly through the ecclesiastical courts and from 1598 began also to receive instruction to ‘inquire into delicate and complicated maritime matters’ (ODNB), travelling to Bremen in 1602 to treat with Danish sailors on the Muscovy trade and other matters. He was later a justice of assize in north Wales. ‘Historians habitually assess the importance of members of learned professions by what they wrote ... A moment’s reflection, however, shows how inadequate a test of a lawyer’s importance it is. Most lawyers do not write treatises: they act ... Dun never published a treatise, yet he was responsible for real accomplishments at a critical moment in the history of ecclesiastical law in England. He rose to high office, and he influenced the course of affairs in Church and state’ (Helmholz, ‘Sir Daniel Dun (c 1545-1617)’, Ecclesiastical Law Journal (2014), 16(2), p. 205).

For another example of Dun’s signature see Lambeth Palace Library MS 1748 (‘Statutes of the Court of the Arches’), folio i recto.

Beale T323; ESTC S122159; PMM 89; STC 3475; Sweet & Maxwell I p. 51.6.

The foundational work of English common law and ‘the most ambitious English legal work of the middle ages, apparently conceived on a grand scale as an overall survey and discussion of the whole of the common law as it was being applied in the king’s courts in England, with supporting citations of actual decided cases, and the reproduction of writ and enrolment formulas currently in use’ (ODNB).

Thought to have been written in the late 16th century, the work is habitually described as the first book in English exclusively on the legal rights of women. ‘[B]y the standards of the day, and within the deeply male world of the common law, the author was surprisingly moderate and open-minded in his vision of women and their entitlements’ (Stretton, Women Waging Law in Elizabethan England, p. 47). ‘T. E., who signs the epistle to the reader and may be T. Edgar, is only the editor and does not know who the author is. The preface is signed by I. L. and indicates that the work “was long since collected” and the author is dead’ (STC); it has been plausibly attributed to Sir John Dodderidge (1555-1628).

ESTC S3985; Pforzheimer 494; STC 13568b.

The work was conceived as part of a ‘deliberate movement to elevate the status of England, English letters, and English language through writing and publishing maps, histories, national epics, and theoretical works on English poetry’ (ODNB). It is the single most important chronicle written in English in the 16th century — a secular counterpart to Foxe’s Actes and Monuments (1563) — and the principal source for all of Shakespeare’s conventional English history plays as well as King Lear, Macbeth and Cymbeline.

To which is added, an Appendix, No. III, containing, Considerations on the Points lately brought into Question as to the Parliament’s Right of taxing the Colonies, and of the Measures necessary to be taken at this Crisis, London: for J.

Pownall was governor of Massachusetts from 1757 to 1759, after which ‘he remained an acknowledged expert on Britain’s colonial affairs in general, especially the American colonies that declared independence in 1776.

Pownall’s most influential statement in this respect was his Administration of the Colonies, first published in 1764 ... Pownall consciously sought in this work to identify himself as a supporter of American liberty. Although he feared that Britain was losing control of its colonies, he wrote that the Americans were entitled to the same rights of representative government as their fellow subjects in England, Scotland, and Wales’ (ODNB).

‘The State of France is one of the prettiest of Evelyn’s books, and exhibits in some copies a pleasant personal touch on the title-page in the shape of an engraved vignette of the author’s monogram entwined with oak and bay leaves ... [I]t is possible that those copies with the engraved vignette were specially printed for the author to give to his friends, but the evidence on this point is very scanty’ (Keynes). There was also an issue with Evelyn’s monogram with the letterpress of the title-page; Keynes does not assign priority to either.

Second issue of the first part, with the first quire reset.

Rare. Seven copies traced worldwide, with no copy in the UK. Only one copy traced at auction (Honeyman copy in 1978).

Niccolo Aggiunti (1600-1635) was an eminent scholar, scientist and disciple of Galileo. He studied geometry and astronomy under Bernardo Castelli, and subsequently succeeded him to the chair of mathematics at the University of Pisa. After receiving his degree in philosophy and law, he became tutor to Ferdinand II de Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany, in 1621, the year in which Ferdinand acceeded to the dukedom. During this period he became a friend and pupil of Galileo (1564-1642). His only published work is this short oration In Praise of Mathematics, in which the author refers several times to Galileo, the telescope and astronomy. Recent scholarship has even suggested that the work may have been written by Galileo himself, so closely aligned is the text with Galileo’s preoccupations and style of writing. See Mark A. Peterson, Galileo’s Muse, Renaissance Mathematics and the Arts, Harvard University Press, 2011, where the author states that Aggiunti’s publication is ‘entirely Galilean in so many details that even if it is derivative, it must represent his thought’.

Rare early edition of Erasmus’s work, which was first printed by Froben at Basel in 1531. This edition was printed by Christian Wechel and copies are also known with the imprint ‘excudebat Christanus Wechelus’ and Roigny’s name omitted; OCLC traces three institutional locations only for the present imprint (British Library, Rotterdam and University of Missouri). Raffaele Regio’s translation of Plutarch was first printed in 1508, with another edition appearing in 1510. Apart from a copy noted at the Bibliothèque municipale du Mans (in the letter from Brigitte Moreau of the Bibliothèque nationale de France, accompanying this copy), this edition is untraced in libraries but has a similar collation to an edition with the imprint of Parisian bookseller Nicolas Crispin and dated 1523, itself represented by one institutional copy world-wide (University of Illinois). Erasmus became acquainted with Regio while living in Padua and was ‘plainly impressed with him ... Erasmus clearly knew Regio’s translations from Plutarch and compared them with Filelfo’s version’ (Bietenholz et al., Contemporaries of Erasmus, vols. 1-3, p. 134).

Johnson’s Works were originally published in eleven volumes, with Stockdale subsequently publishing the Debates as volumes twelve and thirteen, here with the general title-pages reading ‘in XIII volumes’, and a fourteenth volume, here with the notice ‘in XIV volumes’ (often suppressed) on the general title. Courtney & Smith note that the fourteenth volume of Johnson’s Works, issued by Stockdale, ‘appears to be very rare. Not the least point of interest is that it reprints in part the Proposals for the edition of Shakespeare which were issued with the Miscellaneous Observations on Macbeth in 1745, and have recently been rediscovered’. Stockdale later issued a fifteenth volume containing Lobo’s Abyssinia.

Zachary Clifton returned with his family to England in 1651 during the Commonwealth era, and died in 1671.

Puritan radical Richard Clifton (circa 1553-1616) was the guiding light of the separatist church established at Scrooby Manor House in Nottinghamshire, now recognised as the congregation from which emerged the first Pilgrim Fathers. In 1586, Clifton became rector of All Saints Church, Badsworth, and continued in this role until 1605, during which time he provided spiritual guidance to William Brewster and William Bradford, both passengers on board The Mayflower in 1620, as well as John Robinson. Following an edict

by King James I, in 1605, Clifton was declared non-conformist and expelled from the parsonage at Badsworth, and given refuge at William Brewster’s home, the Manor House at Scrooby in Yorkshire. When the Authorities caught up with him, Clifton was ex-communicated, and he escaped persecution by emigrating, along with many of his followers, to Amsterdam in August 1608.

Rare: no copy traced at auction. This copy particularly significant given the Clifton family provenance.

Drawing on Hobbes and French Augustinian thinkers including Bayle, Pascal and La Rochefoucauld, Mandeville’s allegory presents human nature as essentially self-interested, ‘alleging that their “vilest and most hateful Qualities”, their passions, render humans sociable animals and make them “fit for the largest, and according to the World, the happiest and most flourishing Societies”’ (ODNB). ‘A celebrated work, which through Adam Smith, had an immense influence ... It is, in fact ... the only possible justification of individualism and laissez-faire’ (Foxwell, cited in Kress).

326 Rheticus (Georg Joachim, 1514-1574; former owner). Procli, De sphaera liber I. Cleomedis, De mundo ... Arati Solensis Phaeonomena ...

Dionysii Afri, Descriptio orbis habitabilis. Omnia Graece et Latine ita coniuncta ... una cum Ioan. Honteri Coronensis De Cosmographiae rudimentis, Basel: Sebastian Henricpetri, 1561, 5 parts in 1 volume, Proclus’s work with woodcut illustrations in text including an armillary sphere, astronomical diagrams and a vignette of Proclus teaching, Honter’s work with 12 double-page woodcut maps each with additional single-page woodcut map to conjugate leaf verso, complete with the final leaf (blank except for publisher’s woodcut device verso), browning, damp-staining to lower margins, concomitant holes to first 4 leaves including title-page, title-page with central 4cm diagonal closed tear, contemporary inscription ‘Ioachimo Rhaetico’ in ink to head with initial ‘I’ just trimmed (see note), and later inscriptions including ‘Seminarii Studiosoru[m] Religios[orum] Vienna, Anno 1620 12 April’, later half morocco, rebacked retaining most of original spine, crudely recoloured, 8vo (15 x 9cm) Provenance: Georg Joachim Rheticus (1514-1574), inscribed ‘Ioachimo Rhaetico’ (‘From Joachim Rheticus’) at the head of the titlepage, in Rheticus’s hand.

An extraordinary and newly discovered association copy throwing light on the career of one the principal actors in the scientific revolution of the 16th century.

Rheticus was the sole pupil of Nicolaus Copernicus, and the meeting between the two at Frombork in 1539 is considered without question to mark ‘the beginning of modern astronomy’ (DSB XI p. 359). He is perhaps remembered chiefly for encouraging Copernicus finally to consent to the publication of De Revolutionibus (1543), and for seeing the work through the press at Nuremberg while Copernicus lay dying; but it was in fact Rheticus’s own account of his teacher’s system, the Narratio prima (1540), which was the first published exposition of Copernican heliocentrism.

Basel printers Heinrich Petri (1508-1579) and son Sebastian (1546-1626) were distant relatives of Johann Petreius, printer of the first edition of De Revolutionibus. In 1566, five years after their printing of the present compilation, they issued the second edition of De Revolutionibus, which was the first also to contain the Narratio Prima.

Rheticus was a prolific correspondent at the centre of European intellectual life in the mid-16th century, and a handful of books with his inscription are known to exist in libraries or are attested in surviving letters and other sources. The National Library of Sweden holds a copy of Sacrobosco’s Sphera mundi and other texts (Venice: Giunta, 1518) which contains the similar inscription ‘Ioachimo Rhaetico’, also in Rheticus’s hand (shelfmark Stockholm K. Bibl., 106A, Fol, RAR; see further Goddu, ‘Copernicus’s Annotations: Revisions of Czartoryski’s “Copernicana”’, Scriptorium, 58 (2), 2004. p. 207).

The only other example of a book inscribed by Rheticus we trace in commercial records is the legendary Horblit-O’More-Beltrame copy of De Revolutionibus, presented to Andreas Aurifarber, which achieved a record price for a printed book relating to the history of science when it realised $473,000 at auction in 1989 (see Gingerich, An Annotated Census of Copernicus’ De revolutionibus, I.117).

Heinrich Petri had previously issued a compendium containing Proclus’s work together with those of Cleomedes and Aratus in 1547; the present iteration, containing Honter’s text, was reprinted in 1585.

The first two volumes of Vasari’s three-volume work. The first volume consisting of the Prima e Seconda Parte, and the second volume containing the Primo Volume della Terza Parte. The third volume, not present here, is entitled Secondo et ultimo volume della Terza Parte.

Vasari’s Lives was first published in 1550, but without portrait illustrations.

This second edition was significantly expanded, and is the first to include the woodcut illustrations. In this copy, the title page to the first volume does not include an inset view of Florence at the foot, and the image of dead artists rising from the ground is placed at the centre of the woodcut title, rather than printed on the verso.

Flaxman lived in Rome between 1787 and 1794, and went on sketching expeditions with William Young Ottley in 1792. Flaxman was an assiduous student of so-called Italian ‘primitives’ such as Ghiberti, Botticelli and Signorelli, and it is no surprise that he owned a copy of this illustrated edition of Vasari’s Lives, the ‘first modern history of art’ (Printing and the Mind of Man).

A wreck of his former self - but still alive - and that, after all, is something to be thankful for’, written in eight lines above a pen and ink portrait of Baden-Powell with pith helmet and unshaven look leaning decrepitly on his sword, a few minor spots, the whole of a narrow strip of off-white laid paper with slightly roughened edges and a small tear to upper blank area of left margin, overall 34 x 10.5cm From the Pamela Dugdale collection. Mrs Dugdale and Baden-Powell had been in amateur dramatics together while Baden-Powell was in Meerut in 1897. Baden-Powell had played the part of a Chinese man called ‘Wunhi’ in the play of The Geisha, a late Victorian Edwardian musical comedy by Sidney Jones, Lionel Monckton and Harry Greenbank. Baden-Powell remained friends with the Dugdales and often signed himself ‘Wunhi’ when writing to Mrs Dugdale. This characterful pen and ink self portrait and note may have been sent by Baden-Powell when he was briefly back in the United Kingdom in October 1901 following the Second Boer War. (1) £200 - £300

I have been civil to all the other officers, as far as they have come within my reach; and they have been treated with great attention by all the General Officers of the army; and their men are as well, if not better off than our own. But I always doubt a Spaniard being satisfied with anything; and I should not be surprised if O’Donnell particularly, and possibly others, expressed dissatisfaction at being here’.

The letter concerns the Portuguese Government food supplies on the British Commissariat ‘I have received you letter of 7th, it believe, save you, and certainly me, a good deal of trouble if you would be so kind as to send me the requisitions for the supplies by the Portuguese Government on our Commissariat. It is impossible for me to allow Mr. Pippon of anybody else to grant them without my consent, and it would save a great deal of useless correspondence if they were to come in the regular form to me. This becomes the more necessary, as there is a prospect that the supply of corn, &c., will not be so plentiful as it has lately’ Gurwood, Dispatches of Field Marshal the Duke of Wellington, 1838.

395* Frost Fair Broadside. Mr. John Mugeridge Born October, the 12th, 1737. Printed on the Thames, February the 9th 1739/40, printed broadside on laid paper, the full sheet, giving the name and date of birth of the purchaser, eight lines of letterpress verse above with decorative printed outer border incorporating text on the history of printing, beginning ‘The Noble Art and Mystery of Printing’, some creases and associated wear, light soiling, sheet size 18 x 22.5cm (7 x8.9ins) The winter of 1739, known as ‘the hard winter’, brought a severe frost starting on Christmas Day and continuing into February. During this time, numerous tents and booths were erected on the frozen Thames, with games and entertainments including football, rides on the ice, food stalls and temporary pubs. As a keepsake or memento of this remarkable occurrence, a printing press was set up on the ice to print letterpress souvenirs for visitors, as in the present example. The printed verse reads: ‘Behold the liquid Thames now frozen o’er/That lately Ships of mighty Burden bore/Here Watermen for want to row in boats/Make use of bouze to get them Pence and Groats/Here you may print your Name, tho’ cannot write/’Cause numm’d with Cold: ‘Tis done with great delight!/And lay it by, that Ages yet to come/May see what Things upon the ice are done’.

A John Mugeridge married Anne Nash 25/12/1754 at Albury in Surrey; a John Muggeridge, stationer and bookseller, traded between 1770 and 1809 at 92 St Margaret’s Hill, Borough, South London.

394* Faraday (Michael, 1791-1867). An iron filings diagram fixed on waxed blue paper, circa 1850s, 9.5 x 14cm, tipped onto a contemporary album leaf and neatly inscribed in ink beneath, ‘Lines of magnetic [force] by Faraday given me by Mr Sydney on my visit to him on June 21st 1872’ The Royal Institution own a laboratory notebook of Michael Faraday’s which contains similar iron filing diagrams produced by him in 1851 to demonstrate magnetic lines of force. He demonstrated their existence by coating sheets of paper with a thin layer of melted wax, pulling the iron filings poured over the top with bar magnets held beneath the paper. The iron filings were attracted to the magnetic forces around each magnet. The example offered here shows two circles with line patterns between and around them.

The recipient from Faraday was the Reverend Edwin Sidney (c.1798-1872), Rector of Little Cornard, 1847-1872, and lecturer at the Royal Institution and elsewhere. Sidney knew Faraday quite well and a number of letters from Faraday to Sidney are in Michael Faraday’s Correspondence, edited by Frank James at the Royal Institution, and now available online. Faraday gave these iron filing diagrams to friends and colleagues and there are many examples in the Royal Institution archives and others elsewhere. However, the identity of the recipient of this example from Sidney is unknown and examples offered for sale are very rare.

401* Medieval deed: Gropecunt Lane, Bristol. Deed of sale and quitclaim for 4 marks (£2 13s 4d) and half a mark (6s 8d) with warranty; circa 1240, vellum deed in Latin written in a very neat court hand, John son of Roger Bat to William de Kent, all his land with the buildings in Gropecunttelana at Bristol (Bristolla) (S: land of William Bardolf; E: land of Julian who was the daughter of John the son of Jacob; from the street in front (29 feet) to the town wall behind, where it is 30 feet broad), paying a yearly quitrent of 12 pence to Julian who was the daughter of John the son of Jacob as John the grantor has been accustomed to pay of the consideration, 4 marks (£2 13s 4d) paid to John and and half a mark (6s 8d) to Julian; Witnesses: James le Warre, Thomas Long, Richard Ailard, Simon the clerk, William de Bellomonte, Gilbert de Marleberge, Roger Tarleys, Richard de Pesia, William Bardolf, William Ruffo, tanner, Nicholas the chaplain, Robert Hod, some dust-soiling but ink dark and clear, 88 x 190mm, with partially restored armorial seal on vellum tag, [S’IOHANNIS FILII] ROGERIBAT[T], charge indistinct, 3cm diameter, mounted to a wooden board with six small pins, three related 20th-century manuscript paper labels pasted to board, framed and glazed, overall 32 x 32cm The first-named witness was James le Warre, Mayor of Bristol, 1236; William de Bellemonte, Prepositor of Bristol, 1240; Robert Hod would have been known to his friends as Robin Hood.

A very rare early documentation of the place name ‘Gropecunt Lane’, the compounded street name found in about twenty English towns and cities during the Middle Ages, and believed to be a reference to organised prostitution centred on those areas. The earliest reference documented is to a Gropecuntelane in Oxford, c. 1230, now Grove Passage and Magpie Lane. All the original names have since changed or been bowdlerised to the more innocuous Grape Lane or similar, or have been completely lost; the latest documentation of Gropecuntlane traced being in Newcastle, 1588.

The Gropecunt Lane in Bristol referred to in this deed later became Hallier’s Lane and after the Battle of Trafalgar was given the name Nelson Street, which is still current. The street runs through the Broadmead district of the city centre and is home to the Central Police Station. The English chronicler, topographer and antiquary William Worcestre (c. 1415-c. 1482) references Gropecountlane in Bristol in his manuscript of 1480 (Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, MS. 210), and this undated deed, from the reign of King Henry III, proves it was in use much earlier than Worcestre records.

One suggestion for the street name’s origin made by Richard Coates (2011) is that as the name is concentrated in major ecclesiastical centres that would have been likely destinations of Oxford-educated clerics the name may have originated as academic slang. The etymology of cunt is a matter of debate, but in common usage does not appear to have been taboo in the medieval period, even being used in an openly bawdy context several times by Chaucer in his Canterbury Tales (c. 1390). The word only becomes taboo towards the end of the eighteenth century, and was then not generally admissible in print until the end of the twentieth century.

Hood later became naval attaché in Washington, commanded the RN College at Osborne, and in June 1914 was appointed Naval Secretary to Sir Winston Churchill as First Lord of the Admiralty.

However, the ink note above suggests Velly was a pharmacist at Vire, a town in Normandy. The inscription appears to be in the same hand as that of the later owner, the mathematician Auguste Boutin who was a professor at the College of Vire.

Provenance: By direct family descent from John Shelley (1806-1866), of Avington Park House, Winchester, Hampshire. John was the younger and only brother of Percy Bysshe Shelley, (1792-1822), the celebrated poet and husband of Mary Wollstonecraft. Percy and John had four sisters, Elizabeth, Mary, Hellen and Margaret, their parents being Timothy and Elizabeth Shelley.

Judging by the styles of these watercolours they are the work of at least two hands, and likely dating from 1820/1830s, and so may have been drawn

by John and/or some of his sisters. What is known is that these drawings were passed from John to his son George Ernest Shelley (1840-1910) and, in turn, to his son George Edward Shelley (1891-1961), the current owner’s grandfather.

George Edward Shelley was prevailed upon to part with a variety of Shelley memorabilia, some of which went to the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford.

Other items including these drawings went to a Shelley museum that occupied part of Shelley Manor, Boscombe, Bournemouth, Dorset.

(Shelley’s widow Mary had bought a cliff-top home at Boscombe in 1851, intending to live there with her son Percy, and his wife Jane. The property is now known as Shelley Manor). It seems that for a period these drawings were displayed as a framed montage there, but following the closure of the museum in 2001, the items were returned to their respective Shelley heirs.

Smith envelope embossed on flap ‘34 & 35 New Bond Street, London, W.1.’ and with ‘WHS’ monogram, note in early manuscript on front pertaining to contents Charles Dickens, renowned for his powerful theatrical public readings of his own novels, embarked on a series of twelve “farewell” performances at St. James’s Hall, from 11th January to 15th March 1870. The readings, given despite Dickens’s fragile state of health, included episodes from Pickwick Papers, Oliver Twist and the perennial favourite A Christmas Carol. The tickets for these Final Readings were hugely sought after and on 15th March Dickens faced an audience of some two thousand people, with many more having been turned away. After the final performance Dickens made an emotional speech which ended: ‘’... from these garish lights I vanish now for evermore... ‘’, words which were inscribed on his funeral card distributed at Westminster Abbey three months later.

A rare and significant piece of Dickensiana in excellent condition.

Lot 528 529 Dumas (Alexandre). The Count of Monte Christo, 3 volumes, Belfast: Simms and McIntyre, 1846, [2] 400, [2] 5448, [2] 5-464, signatures [pi]2 A-2B8 (2B8=blank?), A7 B-2E8, A7 B-2F8, without engraved series-title and letterpress half-title to each volume (see Sadleir) and preface leaf to volume 1, light staining to volume 1 pp. 3-5, volume 3 pp. 446-7 sometime stuck together and now separated obscuring a few letters, a few other trivial marks, contemporary ownership inscriptions ‘Mrs Wm Bowie’ and ‘Douglas S Brown’ to front free endpapers, contemporary half calf, rubbed overall, spines worn with loss to ends, joints cracked, volume 1 front board near detached (just held by top cord), 8vo (16.3 x 9.6cm) Sadleir 3754.

The first volume is the first edition in English of any part of Le Comte de Monte-Cristo; Sadleir concluded that the second and third volumes ‘in all likelihood post-dated the Chapman & Hall edition [but the first volume] pre-dated it by two or three months’. Rare: OCLC traces seven copies for the first volume, and four sets of the second and third.

The three volumes were all issued as part of Simms and McIntyre’s Parlour Novelist series, a ‘revolution in cheap-novel publishing’ (Sadleir). The first appeared in April 1846 with the title-page reading ‘Chateau d’If. A Romance ... translated from the French by Emma Hardy’, with volumes two and three following in September and October, with title-pages reading ‘The Count of Monte Christo ...

In Two Volumes, being a Sequel to “The Chateau d’If”’. This set appears to contain uniform cancel title-pages which are otherwise unrecorded; volume one retains the caption-title ‘The Chateau d’If’ on page 1 and colophon ‘End of the Chateau d’If’; volume two retains the colophon ‘End of volume the first’. It is evidently not an example of the 1848 re-issue under the Parlour Library series, which is easily distinguishable by its pagination (319, 320, 363 pp.).

Melville’s fifth novel, published a year before Moby Dick, drew on his experiences aboard the frigate USS United States from 1843-44, the title derived from the main character’s coat which he had fashioned to withstand the rounding of Cape Horn. The novel, with its graphic depictions of the harshness of naval life and arbitrary use of flogging was very influential in the abolition of flogging as a punishment in the US navy by the US Congress in September 1850.

The pencil manuscript descriptions on the verso of some girl’s dresses and hats possibly indicate a proof copy, as they state for example ‘Green instead of pink’ or ‘Blue jacket instead of Pink’, the dresses or hats themselves being mostly identical to the previous versions except in colouring. Perhaps they suggest a re-issue of this handsome paper dolls series, which saw life under various publishers including Selchow & Righter, in addition to the two companies represented here. A rare set with these colour variants appearing together.

These moveable cards, which probably date from the Biedermeier period, appear to represent a variety of characters from works of fiction and the theatre. For example, Voltaire’s Candide (1759) is represented by the characters Mademoiselle Cunegonde and La Baronne de Thunder-TenTronckh, Le Vieux Chasseur is a character from Han d’Islande (1823) by Victor Hugo, and Vaporine is from the 1822 theatre production Les Femmes Romantiques by Theaulon and Ramond de la Croisette. Pamela is probably taken from the popular English novel by Samuel Richardson, which was translated into French by the Abbe Prevost in 1741 and was staged at the Comedie-Francaise in 1793. The other characters represented are: Le Verre de Punch, L’Officier Hongrois, Le Beau Parleur, and Le Poupard. The French movable cards of this period were the predecessors of the famous movable books by Meggendorfer, Nister and others.

The British Museum has two sets, one incomplete (missing the ace of spades) and the other, a complete set, bequeathed by Lady Schreiber in 1896.

Rare complete set of early proverb playing cards. This set of cards was first issued on 23rd November 1698 by William Warter, but because of various somewhat offensive scenes the deck was quickly withdrawn. William Warter was a London stationer whose shop was at the ‘Signe of the Talbott, over against Fetter Lane End of Fleet Street, London’ at least as early as 1682.

John Lenthall was apprenticed to Warter in 1699, and took over the business around 1708/9.

Some of the cards issued by Lenthall were educational, others political, geographical, or arithmetical, but these proverb cards were designed simply to entertain and amuse. There are scenes, for example, of defecating humans and dogs, amorous liaisons, and hangings and beheadings, with captions such as ‘Where there are women and Geese there wants noe Noise’, ‘He that is hang’d Shall nere be drown’d, and ‘Men and Dogs may goe Abroad but women and Catts, must stay at home’.

An unusual collection of objects pertaining to love and marriage.

The first item is particularly curious; we have been unable to trace anything similar. We can only speculate what it was used for; perhaps holding accoutrements of a gentleman’s dress (collar studs etc.), for storing dice, or maybe for holding sugared almonds or similar comfits. Whatever its ostensible use, its true purpose is clearly to amuse and titilate.

The second item might appeal to anyone involved in the sale or management of property: “I have a little heart to let,/Depicted just above,/The fixtures are unvarying truth,/The Rent is - Constant Love...”.

John Marshall - who continued as ‘John Marshall and Co.’ after dissolving his initial partnership with two of his family members (James and Eleanor) in 1789 and continuing with just Eleanor as his business partner (London Gazette 30 March 1790) - operated from these premises concurrently during the years 1787-1798.

Rare first separate edition of this classic children’s tale. The Osborne Collection has only the later edition of 1841, which combines the story with two others.The Story of the Three Bears was first recorded in narrative form and published by English author and poet Robert Southey, appearing in a volume of his writings in 1837. The same year, George Nicol published this version in rhyme based on Southey’s prose tale, having obtained Southey’s blessing to try and bring the story more exposure. Both versions tell of three bears and an old woman who trespasses upon their property. It wasn’t until twelve years after the publication of Southey’s tale that Joseph Cundall transformed the antagonist from an ugly old woman to a pretty little girl in his Treasury of Pleasure Books for Young Children published in 1849.

I am telling you all this quite frankly, as I would like to hear what you may have to say, before I discuss the matter with my husband (a doctor!) and see what he says! In any case I should have visited the exhibition incognito during the week.

Undoubtedly through this connection, Dodgson developed a lasting friendship with Jacob’s sister Elizabeth, her husband Robert Hussey (then Regius Professor of Ecclesiastical History and also based at Christ Church), and their daughter Elizabeth or ‘Bessie’, who was born in the same year as Alice Liddell. Bessie was the subject of a portrait photograph taken by Dodgson in 1864, when she was 12. When Robert died, in 1856, Elizabeth and her daughter moved to Brighton, where it is known that Dodgson visited them at least once (in 1880).

632 McKee (David). Elmer, Dennis Dobson, circa 1970, colour illustrations throughout, including rear endpapers, original glazed colour illustrated boards, spine a trifle sunned, lower cover with small residue from sticker to upper outer corner, 4to A very good copy of a rare early printing of Elmer, in which David McKee’s endearing multi-coloured elephant makes his first appearance. The book was first published in 1968, and went out of print quite quickly. It was not until it was republished in 1989 that Elmer become the international success he is today. Although the 1989 edition appears in commerce quite readily, we have not traced another copy of a Dennis Dobson issue at auction. COPAC lists only one copy of the first edition (British Library), and just four copies of this early reprint (Exeter University, Oxford University, Trinity College Dublin, and the V&A).

The story, with its message of inclusivity, is arguably just as relevant now as when it was first published, perhaps accounting in part for its enduring popularity. The author went on to write and illustrate at least another 40 books about Elmer, a TV series was produced giving rise the the inevitable attendant range of merchandise, and Elmer is now published in more than 20 languages. More recently a musical puppet show, Elmer The Patchwork Elephant Show, has been touring Britian (in the first few months of 2019), celebrating the elephant that stands out, and embracing the message that it is always best to be yourself.

ORIGINAL ILLUSTRATIONS & ARTWORK All lots unframed unless otherwise stated

659 Wain (Louis). Great Big Midget Book, Dean & Son, Ltd., [1934], numerous full-page black & white illustrations, including frontispiece, latter with short tear in blank fore-edge and inscribed by the artist on reverse ‘Yours sincerely Louis Wain’ (with some pencilled numbers above and a date of 1933 in pink ink beside), generally toned, original pictorial boards, lacking spine, and upper cover detached, square 16mo

661* [Andersen, Hans Christian]. The Nightingale, 1924, watercolour on wove paper, depicting a scene from The Nightingale, showing Death being dissuaded from taking the Emperor of China’s life, by the nightingale singing outside the window, title and date in contemporary pencil manuscript on verso, 33.5 x 24cm (13.25 x 9.5ins), window mounted and with loose back mount

Dale 132; Gant 71.

Louis Wain’s last book printed in his lifetime; it was done with the assistance of his sister, Claire, whilst he was a patient at Napsbury Hospital, near St. Albans in Hertfordshire, a psychiatric establishment where he spent the final 15 years of his life. Due to the binding and paper quality, this book is rarely found without damage, and inscribed copies of any of his books are scarce.

(1) £100 - £150

It is possible that this apparently unpublished original illustration is by Edward Julius Detmold (1883-1957). It was evidently executed to accompany the Hans Andersen story ‘The Nightingale’, first published in Nye Eventyr (New Fairy Tales) in 1844. Detmold apparently produced a set of colour plates for a Hodder & Stoughton edition of Andersen’s Fairy Tales which were never used. It is said that, being such a meticulous worker, Detmold took too long over the work, and the publisher, having already issued editions of the same work illustrated by Edmund Dulac, William Heath Robinson and Kay Nielsen (the latter in 1924), clearly decided to forgo producing a further edition and Detmold’s plates remained unused. It is not inconceivable, then, that this watercolour is one of the paintings Detmold produced for Hodder, showing as it does similarities in palette and technique to other illustrative work by the artist.

(1) £150 - £200

662* Barker (Cicely Mary, 1895-1973). Study for Mary Magdalene, 13th April 1935, watercolour and pencil on paper, full-length portrait of a young woman wearing a multi-coloured striped robe and white head covering, gazing sideways and with hands clasped, two jars beside her sandalled feet, pencilled title lower left and monogram with date below lower right, slightly marked and dusty, right hand margin with vertical crease 1.5cm in from edge, short closed tear in upper blank margin (repaired on verso), two pin holes to lower right corner, sheet size 48 x 28.5cm (19 x 11.25ins)

660 Wain (Louis, illustrator). Ping-Pong, Told by Clifton Bingham, [cover-title], Raphael Tuck, [1903], 6 full-page colour illustrations, vignettes to text printed in red and black, first and final pages toned, original pictorial wrappers, detached and split along spine (with some consequent edge-fraying), small area of surface rubbing on rear cover, oblong 8vo

A study for a work entitled Jesus Calls to Mary, in which the resurrected Christ appears to Mary beside the tomb.

Best known for her ‘flower fairies’, Cicely Mary Barker’s oeuvre was certainly not confined to such images. She was deeply religious and believed that her artistic gifts should be used to reflect and interpret the truths that were central to her life. Thus, a significant body of her output was of a spiritual nature, and this was the work on which she placed the greatest importance.

For example she produced books for children such as The Little Picture Hymn Book, He Leadeth Me, and Bible Stories, as well as commissioned works such as stained glass designs. She donated a number of artworks to charities and missionary organisations, and Queen Mary purchased her painting of the Christ Child, The Darling of the World Has Come.

£200 - £300

Provenance: From the artist’s studio and thence by descent.

This striking painting, so typical of Folkard’s style, with its meticulous line, fantastical subject and atmospheric palette, was probably never published.

Folkard may well have used his own visage as a starting point for that of the wizard; the bearded Pre-Raphaelite appearance of the artist in his early days translated well into such subjects, which could then be worked up to greater heights of fantasy. The subject of magic and wizardry itself would have had a special interest and meaning for the artist as he worked for a period of time as a magician under the name ‘Professor Volkard’ after attending a show at the Egyptian Hall in London. It was only when designing his own conjuring show programmes that his artistic genius became apparent.

Charles Folkard produced a similar illustration - one of twelve drawings commissioned - for Songs for Alice in Wonderland and Through the LookingGlass first published by A. & C. Black in 1921. The version in the published book differs substantially from that offered here, the gentleman being positioned on a punt in the river and accompanied by a youth fishing, captioned: ‘“You are old,” said the youth; “one would hardly suppose that your eye was as steady as ever.”

Provenance: From the artist’s studio and thence by descent.

The artist’s grandson remembers Teddy Tail with Apple hanging in his bedroom when he was a young boy, and subsequently hung it in his house to entertain his own children when they were younger.

Teddy Tail, a comic strip in the Daily Mail, was the first daily cartoon strip in a British newspaper, paving the way eventually for the likes of Rupert Bear and Pip, Squeak and Wilfred. Charles Folkard based the mouse Teddy Tail on his son Edward, who became a sculptor, and was three when his father invented the character in 1915. Folkard continued to draw the strip until 1926, when his brother, Harry, took it over, followed eventually by a number of other artists.

Teddy Tail became enormously popular and the creation of Rupert Bear for the Daily Mirror was a direct result of this. There was an abundance of spin-off merchandise, such as annuals, badges, soft toys, jigsaws, biscuits, etc., and by the mid 1930s, the ‘Teddy Tail League’ boasted around 750,000 members.

675* [Folkard, Charles]. The artist’s painting smock coat, earlymid 20th century, long smock coat, handmade in linen, with collar, long sleeves with cuffs, and two patch pockets, machine stitched seams, yoke, pockets, and sleeves smocked by hand in cream thread, hand-stitched button holes to front opening and cuffs (lacking buttons), some staining and marks, one 6” drip of white paint to right-hand smocked area of yoke, linen hanging loop inside neck broken, length 109cm (43ins), sleeve length 59cm (23.25ins) Provenance: From the artist and thence by descent.

The smocking 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.

Before becoming an artist, Charles 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.

First item is a preparatory drawing for ‘Faithful John’, one of the tales contained in the first Folkard edition of Grimm’s Fairy Tales, which was published by A. & C. Black in 1911.

The Folkard Font was designed by the artist and used extensively both by him and others, its popularity resulting in a version which is still in use today.

The Folkard Font has swashed capital letters and variant forms of a number of the letters and has become popular as a font for book covers and merchandising, particularly in association with fairy and fantasy subject matter.

Charles Folkard owned a seaside cottage, which he and his son built, at Winchelsea in Sussex, and the clapperboard house drawings in this lot were almost certainly executed there.

‘The Japanese Village in Knightsbridge’ was an exhibition held at Humphrey’s Hall aimed at showing Japanese life and culture by placing skilled Japanese men and women attired in national costume in a setting built to resemble a traditional Japanese village. The mania for all things oriental which had begun in the middle of the century was reaching a peak by the 1880s, and the exhibition was visited by over a million visitors by the time it closed in June 1887, having run for 18 months.

Louis Wain was commissioned, over a period of four years, to do various illustrative work for The Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News, a high class weekly journal featuring sports, arts, literature, music and drama. These two drawings for the paper, showing scenes from the aforementioned exhibition, were executed early in the artist’s career, before he had published any drawings of the large-eyed cats and dogs for which he is famed. Indeed, it wasn’t until the following year, in 1886, that Wain’s first drawings of cats engaged in human pursuits appeared, firstly in a children’s book entitled Madame Tabby’s Establishment and then in an 11-panel narrative titled ‘A Kittens’ Christmas Party’, published in the Christmas issue of the Illustrated London News. Even then, the felines are depicted on all fours, unclothed, and without the variety of human-like expression that would characterize Wain’s later work. It is interesting to note that in one of the early works offered here the artist couldn’t resist the inclusion of a group of distinctly anthropomorphic frogs, two apparently dancing and wearing grass skirts.

MORRIS COX (1903-1998)

Lot 702 702 Cox (Morris). March Demon, A Collage Novel, author’s original ‘manuscript’ copy, London, 1938, [12], 232 leaves, the titlepage and text a collage cut up from ten 19th-century works, the composite text pasted centrally to recto of each hand-numbered leaf, occasional use of whitener, versos blank, original canvascovered boards with two screwed spine pegs, the two covers hand-coloured by Cox in a magic square design, small typed label to upper cover, 4to (26 x 20cm) Provenance: Alan Tucker, from the author. From the Library of Alan and Joan Tucker, Stroud, Gloucestershire.

A typed note on the leaf following the title-page explains: ‘This collage is altogether made up of the following short and (most likely) forgotten works’. The following eight leaves have the title-pages of the eight works from which Cox composed this work: 1) The Maiden Monarch; Or, Island Queen, vol. 1, R. Hastings, 1840; 2) The Tell-Tale: An Original Collection of Moral and Amusing Stories, Harris and Son, 1823; 3) Louisa Featherington, and Other Tales, Religious Tract Society, [1866]; 4) The Child’s Guide to Knowledge; Being a Collection of Useful and Familiar Questions and Answers on Every-Day Subjects..., by a Lady, 48th edition, Simpkin, Marshall, & Co., 1874 5) The Girls’ Reading-Book or Chapters on Home Work and Duties by Mrs Henry Sandford, W. & R. Chambers, 1877; 6) A Guide to the Knowledge of Life, Vegetable and Animal..., by Robert James Mann, 3rd edition, Jarrold & Sons, circa 1860s; 7) The World’s Birthday. A Book for the Young by Professor L. Gaussen, T. Nelson, 1865; 8) Model Lessons for Infant School Teachers and Nursery Governesses, Prepared for the Home and Colonial Infant School Society, by the Author of ‘Lessons on Objects’, R.B. Seeley and W. Burnside, 1838.

According to Alan Tucker all the books were bought for a few pence on Faringdon Road or at chapel fetes. ‘Note the seventh title devoted to the Sabbath, the 8th to objects. Why eight books? Maybe an arbitrary number, though the first title is out of character with the rest, and probably indicates Victoria, eight letters to her name, still a maiden in Vol. 1. Solomon of course was born (and buried) on a Monday. On the last page the hero gets married and imagines he’s arrived in heaven.’ Cox’s inspiration for collage came from Kurt Schwitters and Max Ernst and was submitted to Faber who rejected it ‘just as they were about to publish (with some misgivings) Finnegans Wake.

Cox used to say Faber turned him down from a natural reaction to [James] Joyce: Enough already. They have taken one chance and were not in the mood to promote another uncommercial book, particularly from a totally unknown writer’ (Alan Tucker, ‘Finnegans Wake and March Demon: A collage text by Morris Cox’, flashpointmag.com, 28 July 2009.

THE LIBRARY OF EDUARD ROSENBAUM (1887-1979) Eduard Rosenbaum (1887-1979), economist and librarian, was born into a Jewish family in Hamburg and held various academic posts before his appointment in 1919 as syndic of the Hamburg chamber of commerce (Handelskammer) and director of its famous Commerzbibliothek. In the same year he was part of the German delegation at Versailles, and published an account of the negotiations shortly after (Der Vertrag von Versailles, 1921). He was removed from his position by the Nazi party in April 1933, and in 1934 emigrated to England with the assistance John Maynard Keynes, whom he had met at Versailles, and whose papers he had helped publish through the Hamburg economics journal Wirtschaftsdienst.

In 1935 he became the first holder of the newly created position of acquisitions librarian at the London School of Economics, where he remained until his retirement in 1952. His internment on the Isle of Man in 1940 provided an introduction to Italian economist Piero Sraffa; after the war he helped Sraffa compile the Royal Economic Society’s edition of the works of David Ricardo (1951) and himself wrote a history of the Hamburg merchant bank M. M. Warburg & Co. (1976).

The library of Eduard Rosenbaum comes to the market direct from the family, and the sale coincides with a recent exhibition at the Hamburg Handelskammer to commemorate the centenary of his appointment (July-October 2019), and a special lecture at the London School of Economics (October 2019). His remarkable collection provides an engrossing snapshot of the cultural milieu of interwar Germany that the Nazi party set out to destroy.

730 Felixmüller (Conrad). ABC. Ein geschütteltes geknütteltes Alphabet in Bildern mit Versen von Londa und Conrad Felixmuller, Dresden: F. Emil Boden for the artist, 1925, 16 full-page hand-coloured woodcut illustrations, original wrappers, stitched as issued, with title design to upper cover printed in red and blue, slightly rubbed to edges, and some minor marks and light spots, oblong folio (26 x 34cm) Jentsch 154; Rifkind 617; Söhn 348-363.

One of perhaps 10 copies hand-coloured by the artist, from the total edition of 350, comprising 100 copies on Bütten paper, numbered and signed by the artist, and bound in cloth, and 250 copies on Ingres paper and bound in wrappers. This copy is from the Ingres issue, and is inscribed by the artist ‘Eigenhandig coloriert C. Felixmüller’ on the title-page, though the few other hand-coloured copies traced have all been on Bütten. Eduard Rosenbaum was a close friend of Felixmüller, and his son was born in 1925, the year in which the ABC was published; Felixmüller later painted a portrait of Rosenbaum's son and daughter.

Created for his sons Luca and Titus and the children of his friends, and printed by master printer Zielinski in December 1925 under the supervision of the artist, Felixmüller’s glowingly hand-coloured picture book is one of the most significant artist’s books of German Expressionism. Partly as a result of the straightened circumstances brought on by the catastrophic economic decline in Germany in the 1920’s, Felixmüller took overall control of all aspects of the production of this book, thereby keeping costs to a minimum, but at the same time enhancing significantly the quality and harmony of all aspects of production.

Number 164 of 200 copies. A lavish poetic tribute to the young Munich student, gymnast and budding poet Maximilian Kronberger (1888-1904), who died of meningitis a day after his sixteenth birthday. Kronberger joined the literary circle around Stefan George in 1902, and developed an intense homoerotic friendship with George, who idolised the youth and beauty of the young man. Following his death, George immortalised Maximin in this collection of poems by Kronberger himself, Stefan George, Friedrich Gundolf, Karl Wolfskehl, Lothar Treuge and Oskar Dietrich, and the ensuing myth of the doomed young poet became a central theme of the George Kreis or Circle.

The book was originally published on 29 May but Gide was dissatisfied with various errors in printing and demanded that the edition be destroyed (see Cahiers André Gide, issue 18, 2003, p. 60n.).

Provenance: Presentation copy, inscribed by the author ‘à Joseph Conrad, avec l’amical souvenir d’André Gide, juillet 11’ on the half-title.

A major association. Gide’s frustration at reading an inept French translation of The Nigger of the Narcissus was his first spur to the dedicated study of English. He initiated a correspondence with Conrad in 1910 or 1911, and visited him twice at Capel House, Kent, in 1911 and 1912. He soon became director of the Gallimard Oeuvres complètes de Joseph Conrad, and himself produced the French translation of Typhoon, which appeared in 1918. Gide’s Voyage au Congo (1927) was dedicated to the memory of Conrad, and much has been written since on the relationship and mutual influence of these two giants of modernist fiction.

Provenance: Ernest [Ernst] Philip Goldschmidt (1887-1954), legendary antiquarian bookseller specialising in medieval manuscripts, incunabula and sixteenth century printed books, based at 45 Old Bond Street.

With a letter from E. P. Goldschmidt to Eduard Rosenbaum dated June 15, 1944, presenting this volume as a gift ‘which however I hope you will accept en homage devoué et reconnaissant. You will at least gather from it that this great man was quite mad. Also, as I gather from re-reading the Preface, that he could explain what Joyce was trying to do thirty years later... this volume carries my earliest bookplate in its first form, which is a great rarity...’.

Andel, Avant-Garde Page Design 1900-1950, 46. Castleman, A Century of Artists Books, pages 21-22 and 142.

Les Minutes de Sable Memorial is Jarry’s first collection of poetry and prose, and thus his first public and radical challenge to the accepted norms of accepted literary style, soon to find its most famous incarnation in the grotesque figure of Ubu in Jarry’s play Ubu Roi, first performed in Paris on 9th and 10th December 1896, when the audience rioted in reaction to the author’s outrageous use of absurd and scatological language. Jarry himself designed the typography of the title page, which in its dislocation of letters and legibility anticipates the modernist typography of Apollinaire, the Italian futurists and Russian constructivists. The important preface, entitled Linteau (Lintel) presents Jarry’s aesthetic theory centred on the deliberate subversion of poetic language and meaning.

The two saw a great deal of each other, particularly during the period between her marriages, when these books were inscribed. Hardy’s marriage to Emma Gifford had become increasingly troubled, and it is telling that it was Susan with whom Hardy dined on his birthday in 1892, not his wife. Hardy’s second wife, Florence, in her biography of her husband, relates an anecdote of April 1894: “At Lady Malmesbury’s one of her green linnets escaped from its cage, and he [Hardy] caught it - reluctantly, but feeling that a green linnet at large in London would be in a worse predicament than as a prisoner.”

Mason 347. Only 1000 copies of this edition were printed.

The volume includes Shannon’s four “Delicate and Lovely” plates and Ricketts’ “Completely Beautiful” Designs. Although Wilde remained effusive about the decoration of his book (and defended it from public criticism), the printing of Shannon’s four plates had been difficult. As a result of some fault in the printing process, a dusty deposit appeared on each plate, which was only noticed after the book was bound. Unfortunately, the solution to the problem (by wiping each plate with a flannel) removed the surface of the print and left the images rather faint, and in some cases, almost invisible.

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. 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 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.
