She would produce five pictorial maps (Africa twice, Australia, North America and South America) with the idea of fostering and improving geographical and historical education, as well as generating international cooperation and world peace. Ambitions, no doubt encouraged by her upbringing in the Quaker boarding school in Sibford near Banbury in North Oxfordshire. Her parents emigrated to South Africa and she would eventually follow them in 1904. She settled in South Africa and would produce and illustrate nine books, primarily for children as well as her maps. She lived until 1981, dying at the age of 91, leaving a legacy of vibrancy and vitality to the teaching of geography and history. She lived by a principle, that is encapsulated in her own words “Waterloo may have been won on the playing fields of Eton, but the effect of teaching geography and history intelligently and in correlation in the schoolroom would be far-reaching and would contribute substantially to the avoidance of Waterloos in the future”.

This format saved on weight and bulk and could be presented in a rolled or folded form. Its size seems to have predicated against it surviving in any numbers and today it is a scarce map. Philip Overton and Thomas Bowles acquired the plates in 1712 and under their imprint, it was advertised in the ‘Monthly Catalogue’ of 1717 and copies were also bound up in editions of the ‘English Gentleman’s Guide’ where it was advertised as ‘.... made portable for Cloak-Bag, Portmanteau or Pocket’.

107* Herefordshire. Taylor (Isaac), To my Worthy Subscribers in general but more particularly to those Noblemen, Gentlemen etc; who honoured me with their Assistance, This New Map of the County of Hereford engraved from the Original Drawing made from an Accurate Survey proved by Trigonometry is most Humbly dedicated by their Obedient Humble Servt....., Ross-on-Wye, Jany.

1st. 1754, uncoloured large scale map, engraved by Thomas Kitchin, on four sheets, two conjoined, the margins decorated with 288 shields, but with only 77 allotted (indicating Taylor’s struggle to attract subscribers), compass rose, mileage scale and decorative allegorical cartouche, an inset town plan of Hereford, occasional marginal repaired closed tears, each sheet approximately 610 x 560mm, two conjoined and framed and glazed in 3 uniform frames The first and one of the rarest of Isaac Taylor’s large-scale surveys probably failed on a purely financial basis because the lack of wealth and the sparse population of a largely rural county made it very difficult to raise sufficient support and sponsorship. With only 77 subscribers it is believed that probably less than 100 maps were eventually printed, with only a few surviving to the present day. Taylor’s subsequent maps do not feature sponsor’s coats of arms, probably indicating that he was disappointed with the funds which were raised.

This pack is the second issue of these cards engraved and printed by Stopforth & Son and published by Hodges: the original printing lacked suit signs and comprised 36 pip cards only. H.T. Morley describes this “very carefully engraved, and beautifully finished in colours” pack of cards as being “worth studying, not only for its historical, but also for its artistic value” (see Old and Curious Playing Cards, 137). Catherine Perry Hargrave explains that “the workmanship is beautiful” (see A History of Playing Cards, 212).

109 Hodges (Charles, publisher). Geographical playing cards, London, 1827, the complete deck of 52 hand-coloured engraved playing cards, comprising 4 suits of 13: pike heads (blue), trefoils (green), hearts (red), and diamonds (gold), each suit representing a continent (Europe, America, Asia, Africa), the court cards depicting individuals from that continent and heightened with gold, King of Spades (George Washington) card with hand-painted crown to upper left corner, each pip card numbered 2-10 depicting a map of the named country, and the 4 aces with a map of the relevant continent, no tax stamp or duty ace apparent, gilt edges, plain versos, scarce minor spotting or faint marks, Austria with small brown marks towards right side, each card 96 x 63mm, with original rules booklet entitled ‘A Brief Explanation of the Countries, &c. Represented by the New Geographical Playing Cards’, all edges gilt, original blue watered silk wrapper, mark to rear cover, a little wear to extremities, 12mo, 32 cards corner mounted onto 2 lightweight display boards, encapsulated in clear plastic (these cards not examined out of display boards), the remaining cards and booklet contained together in contemporary dark green morocco slipcase, with lift-off lid, rubbed and lightly marked, with a little wear to extremities, all surfaces blind-tooled, front of lid with gilt-lettered ‘Geographical’, each display board 54.5 x 40cm Hargrave, p.179; Mann, All Cards on the Table, p.134-136; Mann, Collecting Playing Cards, p.161; Morley, p.139; Ortiz-Patino collection, 14.

The accompanying booklet describes the various figures portrayed on the court cards and the countries they represent, for example Saladin (for Egypt) as King of Clubs, and Robespierre (for France) as Knave of Hearts, noting that these characters are depicted “by tasteful and accurate representations”. The booklet takes pains to note that “Washington, though he was in reality the President of a republic, yet, as the principal individual connected with the history of the United States, is here represented as the King of Spades.” The booklet goes on to boast of “the accuracy and beauty of the geographical engravings (which are executed in the first style by an eminent artist)”.

According to Sylvia Mann (All Cards on the Table), this pack of Geographical cards was a copy of a French pack from 1825, and was made for Hodges by Stopforth & Son. Mann states that this pack, together with the related Astronomical pack by Hodges, were “the last of the finely engraved English packs (p.136). H.T. Morley describes these as “a very artistic pack” and the court cards as “very finely engraved and beautifully finished in gold and colours”.

This pack was later reissued by William and Henry Rock. However in their edition the suit signs are initially printed in black and then stencilled in colours, whereas the suit signs in the Hodges set were printed (outlines and hatching) in colour before adding the stencilling - as here. In addition, the Hodges edition has the hand-painted crown added to the King of Spades card, which the Rock edition lacks.

£150 - £200

Intourist was the official Soviet agency for tourism and was established in 1929. Decorative and aesthetically well-designed maps; they are clearly aimed at English speaking tourists. This is somewhat counter-intuitive as Britain did not establish formal relations with Russia until 1929 and the U.S.A. would not do so until 1933 - 34. This was also the period of Stalin’s first five-year plan, the Great Depression was still affecting the world economy and the Soviet Union was a remote and difficult place to reach. It is something of a mystery why these maps were published in English and who the Soviets thought would use them. £300 - £500 (3)

Connack, circa 1627, hand-coloured miniature map, 90 x 120mm, English text on verso (4)

This was to remain the standard form of Japan until the eighteenth century and although replaced by the maps of Reland and Kaempfer, it is in its outline, closer to the true shape of Japan than either of these or indeed any printed map before the nineteenth century. It was compiled by Father Martino Martini, an Italian Jesuit, and appears in Blaeu’s Atlas Sinensis, the first European atlas of China. It is the first map to correctly show Korea as a peninsula.

The engraver, Jan van Somer, worked for Sanson in Paris. Sansom published composite atlases comprised of maps primarily by Mariette and Sanson, and this may be the source for this particular map. This appears to be the second state of the map with the addition of the four cardinal points along the graticule.

Playing Cards of the World p.96. Sylvia Mann Collecting Playing Cards. p.136. Sylvia Mann, All Cards on the Table, p.132. A very scarce item of English cartographic history with very few collections in existence. This John Lenthall edition is a re-issue of Robert Morden’s playing card maps but without the normal foliate borders which identify a Lenthall issue. Extant examples are rare with the Bodleian Library holding eighteen cards, The Beineke Library at Yale has seventeen cards, and the British Library and Cambridge University Library have none. Although advertised for over thirty years very few copies are recorded in existence today. We cannot find any record of a nearcomplete pack in this first state and must conclude that it is probably unique.

Campbell, Tony. “Chronicle for 1991.” Imago Mundi, vol. 44, 1992, p. 140: ‘The Geographical cards of England, John Lenthall [c.1718-44], (40 of 52 cards, each composed of a section of the map of England engraved by James Moxon). Sotheby’s 14 November 1991 [Lot]...210’.

This extremely scarce pack of early geographical playing cards was created from a map of Britain engraved by James Moxon, itself based on an earlier version

by Adair. When Moxon died in 1708, John Lenthall obtained many of the plates Moxon had engraved and reissued them. In this case he reprinted Moxon’s map to be cut into a set of playing cards, with suit signs and numbers added by hand. In All Cards on the Table, Sylvia Mann suggests a date of c.1700 for these cards, which could have been true for earlier copies without a tax stamp. However, in his IPCS journal supplement Taxation on Playing-Cards in England...

John Berry concludes that the ‘crown’ tax stamp, when unnumbered (as here), was used for packs made after August 1712 but before January 1718.

Gill (MacDonald), The Wonderground Map of London Town, published The Westminster Press, circa 1924, photolithographic colour printed map, sectionalised and laid on linen, slight fraying to margins, a few sheets ‘lifting’ away from the linen backing, slight creasing, 740 x 930mm, with part of a largerscale example on the verso This is an example of the slightly smaller and later edition of Gill’s original 1913 map. This is a 1924 edition which is assumed to have been altered to help the promotion of the 1924 British Empire Exhibition that was held at Wembley between April and October of that year. It can be identified by a sign saying:- ‘On To Wembley’ and an empire lion in the top left-hand corner below the man pushing a bus. The map remains highly stylised and whimsical and was held in great affection by Londoners. It was originally commissioned by The London Underground and was designed to be displayed in tube stations. The intense pictorial content of the map caught the public’s imagination and as a result, Gill is often credited with creating a resurgence of the genre of decorative map making. Much work and research has been done by Roderick Barron and Bryars & Bryars on the maps of the Underground and the work of Macdonald Gill and I am also grateful to Claire Dobbins book, London Underground Maps: Art, Design and Cartography.

The map commemorates the first British “nickel” (propaganda leaflet raid) over Berlin during World war II. It took place in early October 1939 and was carried out by planes of RAF10 Squadron. The raid was promoted as a sign of Germany’s weak air defences and its vulnerability to attack. The R. A. F. is represented by numerous putti wearing flying helmets and goggles and being led by a warlike Britannia. In the lower right corner are caricatures of Hitler, Goebbels and Goering, shaking impotent fists at the sky whilst Von Ribbentrop cowers beneath a table. They support a ‘skull and crossbones’ flag with the skull wearing an SS cap. Rex Whistler joined the army in 1939 but was killed in action in 1944 in Normandy at the age of 39.

£300 - £500

The first print described is a scarce depiction of William Henson’s patented Aerial Steam Carriage. The design was one of the first to conceive of what a ‘modern’ aeroplane would look like and although plausible on paper - and several models were made - the finished machine never flew because the steam-powered engine proved too heavy. The prints were produced to encourage investors and there are several variants showing the plane flying over various parts of the world.

The second item illustrates two examples of Gurney’s steam carriages on the road, with a panel of explanations below the image. Influenced by meeting Richard Trevithick, the pioneer of steam propulsion, Cornishman Sir Goldsworthy Gurney (1793-1875) built a steam-powered road vehicle himself in 1823. In 1829, he successfully travelled from Bath to London and back at a sustained speed of 15 mph in his steam carriage, and encouraged by this he envisaged a regular passenger service using steam-driven road vehicles as opposed to a horse-drawn coach. It never materialised, because the influential operators of the mail coaches and associated passenger transport, joined forces to ensure that Gurney was forced out of business.

QUEEN VICTORIA & VISCOUNT CROSS Richard Assheton Cross, 1st Viscount Cross, (1823-1914) was born in Eccle Riggs, Broughton-in-Furness, Lancashire. A lawyer and banker, Cross was a Conservative member of the House of Commons from 1857 to 1862 and from 1868 (when he defeated Gladstone for a Lancashire constituency) until 1886. In 1874 Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli appointed him home secretary. The Cross Act of 1875 empowered municipalities to buy and demolish slums and to build housing for rental. In the same year Cross carried through Parliament the Factory Act, regulating the employment of women and children in textile mills; the Public Health Act, a comprehensive sanitary code; and two statutes reinterpreting Gladstone’s trade-union legislation of 1871. Cross left office with Disraeli in 1880, served again as home secretary in the 3rd Marquess of Salisbury’s brief ministry of 1885-86, was created viscount in 1886, and held the secretaryship for India from that year until 1892. From 1895 to 1900 he was lord privy seal.

Cross was a fellow of the Royal Society, a bencher of the Inner Temple, and an ecclesiastical commissioner, and was keenly interested in the affairs of the church. His honours included, besides the viscountcy, the GCB (1880) and GCSI (1892). He was among the small band of her ministers to whom Queen Victoria gave her close personal friendship, and he was a trustee of more than one royal marriage settlement' (ODNB online). Cross may now be best remembered as one of the country's outstanding home secretaries but some of the material offered here, by direct descent from the family, reveals his close relationship with Queen Victoria. He is mentioned frequently in her journals (online) from 1877 until 1900, often as a guest at the royal residences of Balmoral, Windsor and Osborne.

209* Victoria (1819-1901). Queen of Great Britain & Ireland, 18371901. A pair of albumen print cabinet cards, c. 1888, the first by G.P.

208* Victoria (1819-1901). Queen of Great Britain & Ireland, 18371901.

Brown - the Queen’s truest friend’, set in a contemporary silverplated desk frame with plush-lined backing and original inlaid hinged morocco case with fastener by Edwards & Jones, 161 Regent Street, [London], 19 x 15cm overall

Richard Assheton Cross, 1st Viscount Cross (1823-1914), British statesman and Conservative politician who served as Home Secretary 1874-1880 & 1885-1886.

The subjects of both photographs are very neatly identified in blue ink by Queen Victoria to lower imprint area of mount and dated 1888. ‘Ahmed Husin’ was engaged as one of the Queen’s Indian attendants in 1888 and accompanied her to Balmoral that June. ‘Hafiz Abdul Karim’ was recruited as an Indian servant for Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee. The Queen became interested in learning Hindustani in order to converse with Abdul and as a loyal friendship ensued, Abdul was promoted to ‘munshi’ in August 1888. ‘Muhamed Bukksh’ was engaged as one of the Queen’s attendants in 1887 and left her service in 1895.

John Brown (1826-1883) was a Scottish gillie and a favourite servant of Queen Victoria. Though unliked by most other members of the royal family the exact nature of his relationship with Victoria has been the subject of great speculation. Brown became a strong friend and supporter of Victoria after the death of Prince Albert in 1861 and she was known to have given him numerous gifts as well as creating two medals for him, the Faithful Servant Medal and the Devoted Service Medal, both of which he is seen wearing in this portrait.

Tableaux vivants were particularly popular during the Victorian era.

In the event, believing that French titles sold better, they published as Chanson de Nuit’ (www.Elgar.org/3chanson.hgm).

He gained an MA at Trinity College, Cambridge and later studied theology at Ripon College Cuddesdon. Shortly after ordination, he became Vicar of Hilperthorne, York, 1881-91 and the Rector of All Saints Church, Roos, Yorkshire from 1891-1921. The interior of the church was reordered by the renowned architect, Temple Moore in the early 20th century. He designed the striking chancel screen and rood figures which were given by Milsom in thanksgiving for his rescue from a dangerous situation whilst climbing in the Alps. The Revd. Milsom built and lived at the Old Rectory which was also designed by Temple Moore. The author J.R.R. Tolkien spent 18 months during 1917-1918 in East Yorkshire convalescing from the effects of Trench Fever after acting as a signalling officer in the Battle of the Somme. He is believed to have resided at Roos and there in the early summer of 1917 his newly-pregnant wife Edith danced and sang in a “hemlock” glade on the edge of the village. After the Revd. Milson’s death at Rusthall, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, a memorial window was put in the Baptistery at Roos Church in commemoration of him.

The company later became part of English Electric Company where the same team developed the faster LEO 360 and 326 models. Its final company that it was passed on to was Fujitsu and LEO series computers were used until 1981.

The first LEO III was completed in 1961, it was a solid-state machine with a 13.2 µs cycle time ferrite core memory. One of the features that LEO III shared with many computers of the day was a loudspeaker connected to the central processor which enabled operators to tell whether a program was looping by the distinctive sound it made. Some LEO III machines purchased in the mid-to-late 1960s remained in commercial use at GPO Telephones, primarily producing telephone bills.

Inscribed by Queen Victoria to the Maharaja Sir Duleep Singh: “To the Maharajah Duleep Singh from his affectionate friend Victoria R.I., Windsor Castle, March 1868”. Duleep Singh (1838-1893) was the last Maharaja of the Sikh Empire. He succeeded his father Ranjit Singh (17801839) aged five in 1843, the youngest son of Ranjit Singh with his mother as regent, before being deposed after the Second Anglo-Sikh War of 1848-49 and subsequently exiled to Britain in 1854. Queen Victoria befriended the young Maharaja and invited him to stay at Osborne House, where Prince Albert photographed him and royal painter Franz Xaver Winterhalter painted his portrait. After converting to Christianity, he moved to Elveden Hall in Suffolk in 1863. Queen Victoria was godmother to several of his eight children from his two marriages, including Princess Sophia Duleep Singh (1876-1948) who became a suffragette and women’s rights campaigner. He reconverted back to the Sikh Faith in 1886 and attempted to return to India but the British, fearing a mutiny, placed him under house arrest in Aden before he died in Paris in 1893, aged 55.

Very rare Swindon Town winner’s medal from the inaugural Anglo-Italian Cup competition of 1970. The Anglo-Italian Cup was a European competition between English and Italian clubs, and came about as the winners of the Football League Cup, from 1967 received a place in the InterCities Fairs Cup, but UEFA rules excluded Third Division winners of the League Cup, i.e. Swindon Town in 1969. As a way of compensating League Cup winners Swindon’s exclusion from the Fairs Cup, the Anglo-Italian Cup was inaugurated the following year, with six English and six Italian clubs in the competition, with the teams with the highest points from each country contesting the final, which was played on 28 May 1970 in Naples between Napoli and Swindon.

Swindon were winning 2-0 and when Arthur Horsfield scored the third goal for Swindon in the 63rd minute, disgruntled home fans began throwing rocks and bottles onto the pitch and, following two pitch invasions, the referee abandoned the game in the 79th minute, when Swindon were awarded the trophy.

An impressive large-scale illuminated leaf from a 15th-century German conventual mass antiphoner, undoubtedly executed by a nun, in the style known as Nonnenarbeit (nun’s work), the imagery usually characterised by doll-like faces with pink cheeks and fair hair and exaggeratedly grassy foregrounds with flowers. Such works would tend to emphasise the role of women at the Resurrection, consistent with use by nuns. The antiphoner, or antiphonal, contained the choral parts sung during the celebration of the Divine Office or Mass celebrated by a monastic or other community, and was usually written in large format so that the (often small) choir could read the music together.

The text begins with excerpts from Psalm 3, line 6, and Psalm 4, line 9: Ego dormivi et somnum cepi et resurrexi quoniam Dominus suscepit me (I was asleep and took my rest, and I have arisen, for the Lord sustains me), and from the Book of Matthew, chapter 28, line 2: Angelus Domini descendit de coelo, et accedens revolvit lapidem, et super eum sedit (An angel of the Lord came down from heaven, and rolled back the stone, and sat on it).

An impressive large-scale illuminated leaf from a 15th-century German conventual mass antiphoner, undoubtedly executed by a nun, in the style known as Nonnenarbeit (nun’s work), the imagery usually characterised by doll-like faces with pink cheeks and fair hair and exaggeratedly grassy foregrounds with flowers. Such works would tend to emphasise the role of women at the Resurrection, consistent with use by nuns: here the lion with its cubs and the pelican in her piety are both symbols of the Resurrection from the medieval bestiary: lion cubs are born dead and on the third day the father lion licks them into shape (literally) and they come alive; the pelican plucks her own breast to bring her dead chicks back to life with her own blood.

The text on the recto is taken from the Book of Matthew, chapter 28, verse 1 (often used for Holy Saturday): Vespere autem Sabbati, quae lucescit in prima sabbati: venit Maria Magdalene, et altera Maria, videre sepulchrum, Alleluia (And in the end of the sabbath, when it began to dawn towards the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalen and the other Mary, to see the sepulchre, Alleluia). The verso contains the cantus from Psalm 1, verse 1, line 2: Ego sum qui sum, et consilium meum non est cum impiis; sed in lege Domini voluntas mea est (I am what I am, and my counsel is not with the wicked, but my will is in the law of the Lord).

Fortescue (c.1397-1479) was a jurist and influential Lancastrian propagandist - he recanted his views and saved his neck when Edward IV ascended the throne. “With the possible exception of Sir Thomas More, Fortescue is the English common lawyer who until the days of Coke and Bratton had most to say of importance to a reading public outside his own profession “ (ODNB). His De laudibus legum Angliæ is “an exposition of the advantages of English common law over the Roman law of the continent, and contains a uniquely valuable description of the inns of court and the legal profession” (ibid).

Jean-Dominique Cassini IV (1748-1845) was the fourth generation of the Cassini family to engage in important astronomical work as director of the Paris Observatory, his great-grandfather being Giovanni Domenico Cassini (or Jean Dominique after he was granted French citizenship, 1625-1712), who discovered four of Jupiter's moons, and correctly identified the rings of Saturn as divided into two parts (the 'Cassini Division'). Cassini IV, as the younger Cassini is known, set up a perpetual course of observations at the Royal Observatory in Paris, with the assistance of three students (Jacques Perny de Villeneuve, Nicolas-Antoine Nouet and Alexandre Ruelle) who worked under his direction from 1785, taking turns continuously day and night; their observations were drawn up, calculated and published each year in the form of a report inserted in the Memoires de l'Academie Royale des Sciences. 100 separately-issued copies of each extract were distributed to fellow astronomers across Europe (this copy presumably one of these). See Charles Wolf, Histoire de l'Observatoire de Paris de sa fondation à 1793, Paris, 1902, pp. 265-269).

These cards, designed by Benjamin W. Hitchcock, were produced during the American Civil War and clearly were intended for sale in the Union states. Willshire rather amusingly describes them as 'of very vulgar character'. The king and knave cards depict the officers in front of a suitable background - in 1863 the American Card Company produced another pack of these cards, but here the kings and knaves lacked a background.

Rare: we have been unable to trace another copy. Although the title suggests a publication date of 1799, the imprint of Langley & Belch on the front cover indicates that the work was reissued after the formation of the partnership in 1807. The attractive engravings show, for example, children at play and at school, animals and birds, including the polecat (mentioning Bewick’s History of Quadrupeds) and the petterel (relating how it is prized by the people of the Hebridean island of St. Kilda), and a slave who was “forced from his home in Africa, carried across the sea like a felon, and sold to his master like a dog”.

First two items: Abbey, Life, 539 & 534 respectively.

Fore’s Coronation Procession: This copy is without the final (approximately) 17cm. Although the item describes itself as being ‘sixty feet long’ (1828 cm), the length of other copies found (those that appear to have been actually measured) varies between 1645-1800cm, with several copies measuring around 1700-1727cm. Therefore our copy, despite lacking the final short portion containing the English title and a very small portion at the front hinge, nevertheless appears to be similar to or only a few centimetres short of the expected length. Comparing to online images, this copy lacks just the final two groups of life guards at the right end, with the English imprint.

The small missing portion (approximately 2cm) at the front hinge was likely lost when the left half of the panorama was sometime affixed to the front pastedown, presumably because the strip had split at the front hinge.

Charles X was consecrated as king of France at Rheims on 29 May 1825 in a highly theatrical service.

His crown, sceptre and robe of state can be seen on the alter behind.

SELECTED ANTIQUE PLAYING CARDS & GAMES FROM THE DUDLEY OLLIS COLLECTION A member of the International Playing Card Society, Dudley Ollis formed his magnificent collection of antique playing cards over a period of more than fifty years. A dedicated, knowledgeable, and shrewd collector, Dudley bought from dealers as well as auction houses, and was a frequent visitor to the London street markets Portobello Road and Camden Passage.

The Ollis Collection is perhaps the most important English private collection of playing cards created in the last 100 years, and is impressive both for its rarities as well as its range. This first offering of items from the collection will be followed by further portions in the autumn of 2022, as well as the December 2022 specialist sale of illustrated books and games, to be held by Dominic Winter Auctioneers.

Lot 448 448* Athalin (Baron Louis). Transformation cards, [Paris, France, 1815], the complete deck of 52 etched transformation playing cards, comprising 4 suits of 13 cards (French suits), the court cards portraying events relating to named historical figures, with suit-signs (uncoloured) to upper right corners, the pip cards 1-10 depicting a wide variety of scenes, including bear-baiting, Turks smoking pipes, circus dogs, a battle scene, carpenters at work, etc., the suit-signs hand-coloured in either black or red, the plain verso of each card has a near contemporary ink manuscript description (in French) of the scene or event depicted, in a neat calligraphic hand, occasional light toning or minor marks (mainly to edges), each card approximately 95 x 66mm, contained together in 5 ringbinder album leaves with clear pockets, each album leaf 33 x 32cm Field 31; Hoffmann, p.50; Morley, pp.118-119; Ortiz-Patino collection, 64.

A rare deck of transformation cards in remarkably good condition, and made unique by the fine calligraphic inscriptions on the versos.

Field describes these cards as showing ‘a high level of artistic ability ... with considerable detail’, and the Ortiz-Patino collection states that ‘this pack has been considered to be one of the most elegant and finely drawn of all the artistic transformation cards ...’. Apparently Baron Athalin (sometimes Atthalin) designed these cards during a sea crossing from Palermo to Marseilles in 1814, and they were engraved the following year. The knave of clubs has the name ‘Ja[que]min Gringonneur’, an artist who is known to have painted packs of cards for the French king Charles VI in 1392. It is believed that the figure used to depict Gringonneur is actually that of Athalin himself. The king of spades represents David cutting off Goliath’s head with his own sword, after slaying him with the sling stone (although it does appear that Goliath is still living in this portrayal).

449* Brianville (Claude Oronce Finéde). Jeu d’Armoiries des Souverains et Estats d’Europe, pour apprendre le Blason, la Geographie & l’Histoire curieuse ..., 2nd edition, Lyon: Benoist Coral, 1660, printed title card, 47 (of 52) engraved playing cards (French suits), depicting coats-of arms of European states and provinces, with a short description (or blazonment) beneath, each upper left corner with the suit-sign, the court cards are marked R (roi), D (dame) and P (prince), and the aces have been replaced by chevalier cards (marked C), hearts and diamonds with red stencilled suitsigns, dusty with spotting, some brown marks or stains (particularly affecting chavelier of spades), one corner a trifle creased, queen of spades with near contemporary ink deletion of few words, plain versos, each card approximately 89 x 55mm, contained together in 3 ringbinder album leaves with clear pockets, each album leaf 33 x 32cm Hargrave pp.61-62; Hoffmann, p.38; Mann, Collecting Playing Cards p.122; Tilley, pp.73-74; Willshire pp.88-90; Wowk p.64.

This set is without queen and six of hearts (coeurs), king of clubs (trèfles), nine and two of diamonds (carreaux).

When Monsieur de Brianville originally produced these cards in 1659, they had kings, queens, knaves and aces. Apparently this caused outrage amongst some princes and nobles, who felt that their royal blood had been snubbed. The copper plates were seized by the City Council, who only returned them to de Brianville when he agreed to replace the knaves and aces with princes and chevaliers, as here. The suits are arranged thus: hearts for France, clubs for Italy, spades for Northern Europe, diamonds for Spain.

In All Cards on the Table, Mann describes these (and other similar French fashion-plate packs) as ‘well-engraved’ and ‘much sought after’. The printed title card states Publication des Costumes historiques français et étrangers, 1re série: France: Gibert (sometimes incorrectly spelt Gilbert) also produced similar packs with court cards depicting British historical characters, for an example see Hoffman 52b.

451* Costume playing cards. Costumes du Temps de Louis 13, Les Mousquetaires, Paris, France: B.P.

The court cards include portrayals of D’Artagnan, Porthos, Aramis and Athos as the kings, Mme Bonacieux and Lady Winter as queens, and Planchet & Mousequeton as knaves. Willshire states these figures are well and picturesquely designed ... in bright and positive colours, and in parts illuminated in gold. Rather appropriately the knave of clubs depicts Grimaud. In the British Museum copy of this deck, the knave of clubs has the publisher’s imprint at the foot. However, both the WCMPC and BNF sets agree with ours in not having this imprint.

453* Fullwood (Samuel, publisher). Queen Anne’s Cards, [London], circa 1705, a deck of 51 (of 52, without no.25: 2 of Hearts) playing cards, engraved by Robert Spofforth, each depicting an event in England or Europe at the beginning of the reign of Queen Anne, with printed caption below, and a ruled-off space above containing the suit sign and card value, and a Roman numeral showing the chronological order, the engraver’s name appearing on both the 10 of Diamonds and the 4 of Clubs, ‘Stock in Hand’ red tax stamp to Knave of Clubs, some cards with generally minor brown marks or spots, mainly affecting edges/corners, 3 of Clubs stained, Queen of Spades with 4mm closed edge tear, 5 of Clubs & 8 of Spades with minor wear to a corner, 4 of Spades with old (previously repaired) tear to printed surface (at foot), each card approximately 89 x 59mm, contained together in 3 album leaves with clear pockets, each leaf 33 x 32cm Fournier, British Isles 31; Hargrave, p.197; Ortiz-Patino collection, no.25; Schreiber collection, English 64; Wowk, p.94.

This is the first issue of these cards, with the engraver’s name on both 10 of Diamonds and 4 of Clubs. An advertisement for these cards appeared in The Post Man (for 30 December 1704-2 January 1705) and also in the Daily Courant (for 1 January 1705), in which was listed various sellers. The last named was Samuel Fullwood, who being a liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Makers of Playing Cards was the only person mentioned who was actually entitled to make (as opposed to sell) playing cards. The ‘Stock in Hand’ tax stamp indicates this particular pack was made before June 1711 (see John Berry, Taxation on PlayingCards in England..., p.23). These cards were later re-issued by John Lenthall and advertised in his lists of 1713 and onwards as no.XXI ‘Royal Cards...’ (see also Sylvia Mann, Collecting Playing Cards, p.143).

454* Lenthall (John, publisher). Love Cards, or the Intrigues and Amusements of that Passion Merrily Display’d, London, circa 1712-1717, the complete deck of 52 uncoloured engraved playing cards, each with an illustration on the theme of love, accompanied by two lines of verse below, each upper corner with miniature playing card incorporating suit sign and value, King of Hearts with red tax stamp of crown within filigree border, dust-soiled with some spotting or brown marks, 5 of Hearts somewhat creased with previously repaired short tear (associated slight surface loss), Knave of Hearts minor wear to lower left corner, 10 of Spades with few faintly impressed short lines centrally, plain versos, each card approximately 95 x 61mm, plus an additional defective 2 of Spades, contained together in 3 ringbinder album leaves with clear pockets, each album leaf 33 x 32.cm Fournier, British Isles 30; Hargrave p.201; Mann, All Cards on the Table, p.342 (mention only); Mann, Collecting Playing Cards, p.145 (Lenthall’s advertisement no.XXIV), illustrated plate III; Ortiz-Patino collection, 9.

There appears to be some uncertainty regarding the publishing history of this pack. Several sources name this pack as above, which is the title given to a pack advertised by John Lenthall in 1714, following on from a similarly-named (but probably different) pack advertised in 1709. Some sources also date their packs to circa 1700: although this pack has a ‘crown’ tax stamp, there are decks in existance which have no tax stamp, indicating that packs identical to this one were made before tax stamps were required in 1711. Finally, in his IPCS journal supplement Taxation on Playing-Cards in England... John Berry concludes that the ‘crown’ tax stamp, when unnumbered (as here), was used for packs made after August 1712 and before January 1718. £4,000 - £6,000 (3)

455* Music playing cards. Pack of New Cotillons variation, [London], circa 1775, the complete deck of 52 engraved playing cards in landscape format, each with several staves of music, the dance name above, with miniature hand-coloured playing card to upper right (in portrait format), variable spotting, mainly to versos and edges, blank versos, each card 63 x 93mm, 18 cards corner mounted onto a display board, encapsulated in clear plastic (not examined out of mount board), the remainder loosely contained in a clear plastic bag, the board 54.5 x 40cm Ortiz-Patino collection, no.21. Also see Fournier, British Isles 60 (for the New Cotillons cards, by Longman and Lukey, 1782).

Rare: this set is unusual, compared to the more commonly found Longman & Lukey set, in that while the music is in landscape format, the miniature playing cards are in portrait. Most of the tunes represented are for the Cotillon, but also included are tunes for The Cossack’s Dance, The Roman Dance, The Coventry Dance, The Lango Lee, etc.

457* Pâris (Louis-Michel). Cartes Élémentaires d’Astronomie et de Géographie, par M. l’Abbé Pâris, Falaise: chez Brée frères, Paris: chez Marcilly, Rouen: chez le Lecrêne-Labbey, [1807], 40 (of 42) hand-coloured engraved numbered cards (lacking cards 41 & 42), depicting various astronomical and geographical diagrams, plans and instruments, each verso with explanatory note in French, some light spotting, occasional generally minor marks, card 23 (a volvelle card) without its moving part, card 1 a little rubbed to blank area, each card 97 x 62mm, with original folded sheet of printed rules, contained together in original card slipcase with lift-off lid (rubbed with some wear), printed paper label to front, with engraved vignette of a globe, telescope and octant (browned and rubbed with some loss to edges) Louis-Michel Pâris (1740-1806) was a French priest and teacher who produced these cards as a teaching-aid for his pupils. He first engraved and coloured the almost identical (although slightly smaller) set published by John Wallis in London in 1795: Pâris lived there for several years at the end of the 18th century before returning to France. He then had this French set produced ‘chez Brée frères’, which additionally contained three volvelles: cards 23 (here present but without the moving part), 41 & 42 (neither present here).

Bibliothèque Nationale de France, FRBNF40918552; Fournier, Germanic 76; Tilley, p.150.

This rare deck of musical playing cards is cleverly designed so that, as the instruction card explains plusieurs milliers de valses can be obtained. If any eight cards are laid out in order from king down to 7 (ace between knave and 10), disregarding the suits, a waltz tune will be formed, with thousands of combinations possible each forming a slightly different tune.

This set is suspiciously similar to a pack produced circa 1820 in London

by Edward Wallis, with the title Musical Transformations or Protean Dances. In Wallis’s pack the instructions were printed on a label adhered inside the sliding lid of a wooden box. However, what can be recognised of the title label on the box accompanying the pack offered here appears to be almost identical to the Wallis box label: indeed in an image of the only other set of Bermann’s cards found with an intact box (see https://www.antiquetoys.nl/2.musical.1.gif) the strong similarities can be clearly seen with only the text altered, the label still depicting the layout of 8 cards in order (as instructed) above a vignette of some dancers.

Fournier, British Isles 65; Hamilton 141; Hoffmann 55b (illustrated); Mann, All Cards on the Table, p.134; Mann, Collecting Playing Cards, p.163; Tilley, p.129; Willshire E.169 & 170.

A scarce and unusual pack of playing cards with an innovative design, it can be dated to between 1765 and 1776 from the duty ace which is of the type A1 (modified) printed at the Stamp Office between those dates (see John Berry, Taxation on Playing-cards in England from 1711 to 1960, IPCS Papers No.3, 2001). The pack in the Victoria and Albert Museum has been dated to between 1774 and 1776, but it is not clear how they arrived at this narrower date range.

This attractive deck was an attempt by Rowley & Co. to introduce an alternative to the traditional suit signs and imagery, but it did not prove popular. The intention was clearly to make the French suit-signs more consistent with the Italian origins of their names, with pikeheads for piques, clovers for trèfles, faceted diamonds for carreaux, and hearts on chalices (or cups) for coeurs. The cups were probably included to connect with the early Italian suit of cups, which was believed to represent the clergy, as is explicitly the case here with the ace depicting a bishop’s mitre, staff and cross.

460* Translucent Playing Cards. Translucent playing cards with hidden erotic illustrations, c.1865, a complete deck of 52 colourstencilled playing cards, the court cards with wood-engraved images, each card with hidden erotic image visible when backlit, the hidden pictures in the court cards being mis-matched with the visible court characters, plain versos, rounded corners, lightly dusty, few number cards with spotting or marks, some corner tips creased, 3 of Clubs creased, Jack of Spades with 1cm closed tear from upper edge, 8 of Hearts lacking upper left corner tip, each card 90 x 57mm, the cards corner mounted onto 3 display boards with cutouts (in such a way as to enable backlighting of the cards), encapsulated in clear plastic, (not examined out of display boards), each board 54.5 x 40cm Scarce. Translucent playing cards became popular in mid-19th century France. Mainly created cheaply as novelties, few complete decks have survived. The cards were created from two layers, instead of the usual three, and appear as normal cards when simply viewed. The upper layer is printed with the traditional face design on the recto, and an additional erotic image on the verso, while the lower layer is blank. The lack of a third layer allows enough light to penetrate the card, when strongly backlit, to view the hidden images. On the court cards, the hidden images were designed to align with the court card image. However in this set, because the upper and lower layers have been mis-matched, the hidden images do not correspond to the court images, creating somewhat incongruous scenes.

It clearly a reprint of the booklet that was first issued with this game edition (as indicated by the title and by the phrase on page [7] ‘... ending with the Accession of George the Third’). However, the final paragraph on page 47, which originally simply read ‘Son of Frederick, Prince of Wales, and grandson of George the Second, ascended to the throne in 1760’ has been updated by the addition of a description of George III’s reign. In 1810, John Harris published ‘The Jubilee’, a new game which focused on the years of George the Third’s reign, therefore this updated Rules booklet must have had a very short lifespan, as it was almost immediately superseded by the new game (see below).

Second item: This variation on Harris’s Historical Pastime games was designed as a sequel to their first game of that name, picking-up where that game ended at the ascension of George III and continuing through the 50 years of his reign until the date of publication.

The Rummy-Tummy Book by Samuel Walkey (1871-1953) appears to be an unpublished work. Samuel Walkey was born at Kilkhampton, Cornwall and became a bank inspector in the West Country in the 1890s. Encouraged by his wife he took up writing adventure stories for boys and romantic fiction for adults, many of his juvenile fiction stories were first serialised in Chums and Boy's Own annuals and other periodicals, from 1907-1939, before being published in book form. His many stories in these publications were illustrated by Paul Hardy, Charles Lane Vicary and others and he had a large and devoted readership, The Cornishman, a weekly newspaper noted that his stories 'were read with zest by the boys of England'.

Warwick Brookes (1808-1882) was a Manchester artist on the fringe of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. The photographs in this portfolio may have been produced by the artist's nephew, also named Warwick Brookes (1843-1929). The latter was active in a Manchester studio at 350 Oxford Road. The portfolio is mentioned in two letters from Dante Gabriel Rossetti to Warwick Brookes in 1868. In the first, dated February 21, Rossetti orders the set (for £4) and sends his regrets for Brookes' poor state of health. In the second, dated February 28, Rossetti thanks Brookes for the "beautiful portfolio of photographs ... The babies in particular seem to me triumphs ..." (Correspondence of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, edited by William E. Fredeman, volume 4, 2010, pages 35-36 (letters 68.39 and 68.41).

The Manchester Guardian described his drawings in April 1, 1871: “... We have repeatedly alluded with great pleasure to the beautiful drawings in pencil and pen and ink by Mr. Warwick Brookes of this city, of single figures and groups of children. They have been seen at various local exhibitions. Recently Mr. Gladstone saw some of these drawings at the residence of Sir Walter James, and borrowed them to show to the Princess Louise. The Princess, who is known to be an accomplished amateur artist, showed them to the Queen, who expressed a desire to purchase some of Mr. Brookes's drawings. Her Majesty has selected four, and characterized them as 'really charming'. ... Portfolios of photographs from his sketches have also been purchased for The Royal Academy and for The South Kensington Museum ...".

However in order to obtain the English copyright she requested one hundred sheets to be sent over to have them bound privately, by George Middleton, printers and publishers of Ambleside, Westmorland.

“In the privately bound copies of The Fairy Caravan, the first eighteen pages of the American edition, including the preface and dedication page, were discarded, and a new set of pages printed at Ambleside. An additional page was added on which were sketches of dogs she knew, with their names written underneath. On the title page, Beatrix Potter used her married name, Beatrix Heelis.” (Linder pp. 292-295).

A.M.H.’ For the first edition of 1908 see Linder, p.427; Quinby 14.

Annie Maria Armitt (1850-1933), one of three gifted and well-educated sisters, was a novelist, poet, short story writer, and essayist. Unusually for the time Mr Armitt wanted to give his talented daughters a first class education, but in 1867 this plan went awry when their father died suddenly leaving the trio facing severe financial difficulties. Undaunted however, together they opened a school in Eccles, Lancashire, which thrived, allowing them to travel and continue their own studies.

In 1912 the youngest sister, Mary Louisa, founded The Armitt Library, now known as The Armitt, a museum, library and gallery, devoted to preserving and sharing the cultural heritage of the Lake District. Beatrix Potter was one of the Armitt’s earliest supporters, and the collection holds a number of her family’s books, her own first edition copies of her books, and a large number of botanical watercolours by her. Annie Armitt married Stanford Harris in 1877 and went to live near Hawkshead in the Lake District. In 1882 Mary and Sophia received a substantial legacy and in 1894 they moved to Rydal, where they lived with Annie, now widowed, for the rest of their lives.

Here the sisters enjoyed socialising with a large circle of distinguished friends, including John Ruskin as well as Beatrix Potter.

Yeats’s Poems, 2nd edition, 1899 Provenance: Lota Law, for whom the books were inscribed by George William Russell. She was the wife of Hugh Alexander Law, nationalist MP for West Donegal from 1902-1918. Their family home at Marble Hill House, Sheephaven Bay, Donegal was frequented by George Russell and he stayed in the children’s house in the grounds, known as the ‘Fairy House’, and where he received his strongest pyschic insights. Other visitors included W.B. Yeats, Jack Yeats, P.H. Pearse, William Orpen, G.K. Chesterton and Hilaire Belloc.

George William Russell was a leading figure in the Irish literary renaissance of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and much influenced W.B. Yeats after they met at the Metropolitan School of Art in Dublin, both sharing a belief in ancient Ireland’s spiritual qualities, Russell joining the Theosophical Society to pursue the path of mysticism, and his interest in Hindu and Buddhist philosophy. He left Ireland in 1933 after becoming disillusioned with the political situation following independence and literary censorship and died in Bournemouth in 1935.

Together with Patrick Trevor-Roper and Peter Wildeblood, Carl Winter gave evidence to the Wolfenden Committee, whose report led to the decriminalisation of homosexuality in 1967.

The author's first novel, with his own illustrations, in the dust jacket also designed by him. After the book was rejected for indecency by Duckworth (the publisher of his earlier biography of Rossetti), Waugh offered the manuscript to Chapman & Hall, but he did so while his father, who was the managing director of the firm, was away on holiday. The acting-director agreed to publish the novel and Arthur Waugh returned to London to discover that his son was his firm's newest author. When Arthur Waugh's biography was published three years later, however, Decline and Fall and Vile Bodies, the two novels published under his directorship of Chapman & Hall, were not mentioned.

ARTIST'S RESALE RIGHT LAW ("DROIT DE SUITE") Lots marked with AR next to the lot number may be subject to Droit de Suite.

Droit de Suite is payable on the hammer price of any artwork sold in the lifetime of the artist, or within 70 years of the artist's death. The buyer agrees to pay Dominic Winter Auctioneers Ltd. an amount equal to the resale royalty and we will pay such amount to the artist's collecting agent. Resale royalty applies where the Hammer price is 1,000 Euros or more and the amount cannot be more than 12,500 Euros per lot.

The amount is calculated as follows: Royalty For the Portion of the Hammer Price (in Euros) 4.00% up to 50,000 3.00% between 50,000.01 and 200,000 1.00% between 200,000.01 and 350,000 0.50% between 350,000.01 and 500,000 Invoices will, as usual, be issued in Pounds Sterling. For the purposes of calculating the resale royalty the Pounds Sterling/Euro rate of exchange will be the European Central Bank reference rate on the day of the sale.

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.

FINE ART including British Portraits Old Master & Modern Prints & Drawings

21 JULY 2022

Tilly Kettle (London 1734-1786 Aleppo). Portrait of Josias du Pré (1721-1780) of Wilton Park, Governor of Madras, oil on canvas, 127 x 101 cm (50 x 40 inches), fine period recessed moulded gilt frame Provenance: Colonel Grenfell; Christie’s London, Fine English Portraits & Landscape Paintings, March 22 1968, lot 55; Bellman’s Billingshurst, Sussex, Antiques & Interiors, August 2017, lot 1655; Private Collection, London.

Estimate £3000-5000 The golden age of Anglo-Indian art, and the surge in popularity of portraiture in India, dates from the arrival of Tilly Kettle (1735-1786) in Madras (Chennai) in 1768. A British painter who had gained renown in England during the 1760s as a portraitist working in the style of Sir Joshua Reynolds (1723-1792), Kettle lived in Madras for three years before leaving for Calcutta (now Kolkata) in 1771. He remained there for five years until 1776, the year of his return to London.

During this time, sometimes called his ‘Indian’ period, Kettle painted the portraits of many important Nawabs, merchants, governors and military officers.
