Thomas Horner (1785-1844) sketched this panorama from a specially constructed hut on top of the dome of St Paul’s Cathedral, while the ball and cross were being replaced. The rotunda required to house this monumental work, which was a major London landmark for around half a century, was designed by Decimus Burton, based on the Pantheon in Rome. Completion of the painting ran over schedule and the attraction was forced to open prematurely, in March 1829, in order to bring in revenue as a consequence of the principal financial backer Rowland Stephenson having fled to America the previous year, with debts of £200,000. Horner himself, also fled to America, for different reasons in 1829. The Colosseum was demolished in 1875.

273 [Royal Banquet Broadside]. Dedicated to the Right Hon. the Lady Mayoress, (without Permission) by a Ragged Scholar, n.p., [York?], n.d., [1850], drop title, twelve-verse poem in double columns, light offsetting and fold creases, 25.5 x 19cm The occasion of, and target for, this anonymous satirical poem of four-line stanzas was a royal banquet which took place on 25th October 1850 in the Guildhall of York. The poem refers to the Lord Mayor of York, [George Hicks] Seymour, and makes reference to the other mayors of Great Britain and Ireland who were there present, also with references to the banquet’s chef, [Alexis] Soyer. In part: ‘The guildhall is deck’d/in magnificent taste,/and Soyer has cooked/all his frogs and his paste. ... They’re guzzling and grunting/and gobbling with jest,/and yet when all’s over/tis but a mayor’s nest... I’d give you their speeches/if I were but there,/but I’m a ragged scholar,/and not yet a mayor... I had hoped the spare grub/would have come to our school,/but Soyer will bone it,/I’m told - ain’t this cool?’. George Hicks Seymour was a solicitor of Seymour and Blyth, of Lendal, and director of the North Eastern Railway. Inspired by a dinner he had attended in London to organise the then forthcoming Great Exhibition of 1851, and as mayor of York he gave one of the sumptuous feasts ever seen in York. He invited the lord mayor of London to a return meal which included a choice of seventy-two dishes and a royal table, with a ‘100 guinea’ dish including turtle heads and all kind of birds, from turkeys to larks. Prince Albert was the guest of honour and among the guests were the prime minister, Lord Russell and no fewer than eighty-seven heads of corporations from other towns and cities in the British Isles. Presumably the anonymous author was local and the only ragged school in York at the time would appear to have been the York Industrial Ragged School, begun in 1847. Mr T.B. Smithies, writer and editor, was connected with it, but more notoriously it was opened by the parish beadle George Pimm, an alcoholic in whose care many children died and were secretly buried.

THE BOOKBINDING WORKSHOP OF IVOR ROBINSON MBE (1924-2014) Ivor Robinson was one of the outstanding artistic bookbinders of the 20th century. Born in Bournemouth, the son of a chauffeur and a former housemaid, he was apprenticed at the age of 14 with the bookbinder S.E. Bray & Co. He volunteered to enlist in the Navy during the second world war, where he was present at D-Day. After the war he returned to Bray’s to finish his apprenticeship. In 1946 Robinson moved to Salisbury to work with binder Harry Bailey, eventually going into partnership with him. He taught at the London School of Printing and Graphic Arts from 1953, where he encountered Edgar Mansfield, and then in 1958 moved to Oxford to teach at the Oxford College of Technology, retiring in 1989.

Working for much of his life as a teacher, Robinson confined himself to three fine binding commissions per year. Consequently there are only around 150 in existence, making them comparatively rare and very collectable. Public collections with examples of his work include the British Library, the Bodleian Library, Oxford, the Pierpont Morgan Library, New York.

NAVAL LIBRARY OF THE LATE ROY ALBERT STANLEY DUNN Roy Dunn was born in 1927 into a working-class family in Kingston upon Thames. His life was to be marked by several lifelong passions which he pursued with a remarkable intensity. His first passion was education. He attended a primary school in Kingston where expectations were low, indeed so low that nobody from the school had ever passed the 11 plus exam. Roy was the first and took his place at Tiffin Boys’ Grammar School, a school that he always maintained was the best in the country. Roy worked hard and achieved the examination results he needed to pursue his second great lifelong passion, the study and practice of medicine. However, fate was to intervene in the form of the Second World War and Roy was called up in 1945 age 18. He chose the Navy and his third great lifelong passion for ships and the sea was born. After initial training in the new radar technology at Malvern he joined the aircraft carrier HMS Theseus and sailed around the world impressing the natives and the girls of many countries.

On completion of his naval service the gratitude of King and Country enabled him to gain the long desired place at University College to study medicine and, following qualification, Roy chose to enter General Practice and began a career he loved and at which he excelled.

Roy was always a collector. Passing passions over the years included collections of stamps, medals, bayonets; hat tally bands, treen, and postcards; and ceramic lighthouses, Dinky toys, and waterline ship models. However, his overriding and lifelong interest remained the navy and its associated literature and he was often to be found in the second-hand bookshops of England in pursuit of naval books. He was also well known to many of the leading dealers in naval books over many years. The resulting unique collection was accumulated over a sixty-year period and Roy was still actively collecting right up to his death on Christmas Day 2013.

Conditions of Sale and Business 1. The Seller warrants to the Auctioneer and the buyer that he is the true owner or is properly authorised to sell the property by the true owner and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims.

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

3. The buyer shall pay the price at which a lot is knocked down by the Auctioneer to the buyer (“the hammer price”) together with a premium of 19.5% of the hammer price. Where the lot is marked by an asterisk the premium will be subject to VAT at 23.40% which under the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme will form part of the buyer’s premium on our invoice and will not be separately identified (the premium added to the hammer price will hereafter collectively be referred to as “the total sum due”). By making any bid the buyer acknowledges that his attention has been drawn to the fact that on the sale of any lot the Auctioneer will receive from the seller commission at its usual rates in addition to the said premium of 19.5% and assents to the Auctioneer receiving the said commission.

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

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

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

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

8. (a) Notwithstanding any other terms of these conditions, if within fourteen days of the sale the Auctioneer has received from the buyer of any lot notice in writing that in his view the lot is a deliberate forgery and within fourteen days after such notification the buyer returns the same to the Auctioneer in the same condition as at the time of the sale and satisfies the Auctioneer that considered in the light of the entry in the catalogue the lot is a deliberate forgery then the sale of the lot will be rescinded and the purchase price of the same refunded. "A deliberate forgery" means a lot made with intention to deceive. (b) A buyer's claim under this condition shall be limited to any amount paid to the Auctioneer for the lot and for the purpose of this condition the buyer shall be the person to whom the original invoice was made out by the Auctioneer.

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

10. All goods delivered to the Auctioneer's premises will be deemed to be delivered for sale by auction unless otherwise stated in writing and will be catalogued and sold at the Auctioneer's discretion and accepted by the Auctioneer subject to all these conditions. In the case of miscellaneous books, the Auctioneer reserves the right to extract and dispose of books that, in the opinion of the Auctioneer at his absolute discretion, have no saleable value and, therefore, might detract from the saleability of the rest of the lot and the Auctioneer shall incur no liability to the seller, in respect of the books disposed of. By delivering the goods to the Auctioneer for inclusion in his auction sales each seller acknowledges that he/she accepts and agrees to all the conditions.

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

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

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

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

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

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