treat to the children of Wellow School, 140 of whom attended. Some visitors and several of the mothers of the children were kindly invited to join, making the party 170. A beautiful day added to the enjoyment of all. Some very good photographic views were taken of the happy group by Mr Galton, of West Wellow. After enjoying various games and again partaking of refreshment, the majority of the children were started In a conveyance provided for the purpose, and left the grounds with cheers and merry singing.’ This ‘Mr Galton’ is in fact John Thomas Gaulton of West Wellow.

He appears as a ‘Photographer’ living in West Wellow on both the 1871 and 1881 censuses.

Towards the back of the album, there are several photographic reproductions of paintings of the family, including the 1828 watercolour of Frances Nightingale with her two daughters. There is also an albumen print portrait of Florence Nightingale by Henry Hering, a larger version of a photograph usually only seen in carte-de-visite format.

The album was compiled by a member of Florence Nightingale’s family while living at Embley Park during the seven years following the death in 1874 of Florence Nightingale’s father, when the house passed to his wife’s brother, Samuel Smith.

Inscriptions on the inside front cover indicate that the album was compiled

by Mary Urith Coltman, the young daughter of Florence Nightingale’s first cousin, Bertha Coltman. On the death of Mary Coltman’s grandmother Mary (‘Mai’) Smith in 1881, the house passed to William Shore Smith and Mary Coltman went to live elsewhere, but before her departure she gave the album she had compiled to her friend Caroline Long, daughter of local woodsman George Long of Thorpwood Cottage in East Willow. According to the 1881 census, Caroline was a ‘charwoman,’ so it seems likely that the girls’ friendship came about through Caroline’s employment at Embley Park.

The album contains numerous views of the house, its grounds, members of the family, the servants at Embley Park, Embley Farm, the local church, St Margaret of Antioch, and its churchyard where Florence Nightingale was later buried. Of particular interest are three good views showing the interior of the house as Florence Nightingale would have known it. Members of the family represented in the album include: Mary (‘Mai’) Smith, Beatrice Lushington, Blanche Clough, Mary Urith Coltman and her brother Arthur Francis Coltman (the five members of the family at the house on the night of the 1881 census); Florence Nightingale’s uncle Samuel Smith (Mai’s husband who died in 1880); Florence Nightingale’s cousin Bertha Coltman, her husband William Bacheler Coltman and their four children. The album also includes a previous unknown outdoor portrait of Parthenope Nightingale and her husband Sir Harry Verney with Parthenope and Florence’s father, William Edward Nightingale. Two photographs show an outside lunch given for the children of the local school. According to the Hampshire Advertiser (27 September 1879): ‘ SCHOOL TREAT - On Monday, the 15th inst., Mr and Mrs Samuel Smith, of Embley Park, gave their usual

On 12 February 1893 Caroline married Albert George Harris, a ‘Labourer,’ at All Saints Church in Upper Norwood. The 1911 census shows Caroline and husband Albert Harris, now a ‘Bricklayer,’ living in Upper Norwood with their seven children. The first few pages of the album present various views of Combe Hurst at Kingston-upon-Thames, the Coltman residence in Surrey where Mary Coltman lived before she came to Embley Park in 1874. These have been misidentified by Caroline Long as Embley Park.

Many of the smaller photographs are similar in composition and content and are possibly also by Saché; the final 40 or so photographs in the second album are apparently from a variety of sources and seem intended to depict the homeward journey of the compiler, probably a soldier in the 105th Regiment of Foot (Madras Light Infantry).

This is one of only 25 prints made in 1890 from the original negative, the earliest surviving photograph on glass. This was the only image recorded of the 40-foot telescope in Slough, Berkshire, assembled in 1787 by William Herschel (1738-1822), and dismantled in 1839. The massive reflecting telescope used a metal mirror four feet in diameter and weighed over a ton, and became a much-visited wonder of the age. By the time Herschel’s son John took this photograph, the telescope structure had become unsafe through neglect. The photograph is mounted in a frame using the rungs from John Herschel’s telescope used at Slough and Cape Town, South Africa. The negative, now faded almost beyond recognition, is preserved in the collections of the Science Museum, London.

Visible at the foot of the image and lower down the pillar from the Golden Virgin is an advertising broadside for a book titled ‘Description de la Chapelle Sainte Theudosie, par M. Ad. [Adolphe Dutille]’, published in 1854.

Herschel (Bart)', gilt-ruled border, image 303 x 242mm, mount 359 x 298mm An excellent print of one of Julia Margaret Cameron's most iconic portraits. Sir John Herschel, son of the astronomer Sir William Herschel, was a polymath who took a very active interest in photography from its earliest days. A friend of Fox Talbot, and an early correspondent of Mrs Cameron, he invented the photographic use of sensitised paper (1839), introduced hyposulphate of soda (hypo) as a fixing agent, and coined the terms 'photograph', 'negative', 'positive' and 'snapshot'. This portrait of him was one of a series of four taken at his home Collingwood at Hawkhurst, Kent.

Provenance: From the family of Sir John Herschel, by direct descent through his daughter Amelia and her husband Sir Thomas Wade. See also preceding lot.

228* Hill (Alexander Wilson, 1867-1949). A rare group of 5 bromoil transfer studies of central Scotland, c.1905-1940, printed on various paper and cardstock, titled and signed in pencil to lower margin (two untitled and one unsigned), largest size 310 x 212mm, smallest size 155 x 120mm Alexander Wilson Hill FRPS (1867-1949) was one of the acknowledged masters of pictorial photography in the period 1905-1940, using the bromoil transfer process. A keen amateur photographer, he lectured widely on the process, and his work was highly respected even in his lifetime. Shortly before his death, he ruthlessly edited his huge collection of images, burning those he believed were not to his exacting standards. Thus, the prints which survive, are those with which he was completely satisfied. His work can be found in the collections of, amongst others, the National Library of Scotland, the National Galleries of Scotland and St Andrews University Special Collections. The images offered here were gifted to John Hannavy from two sources: Hill’s son, Professor Sir Iain George Wilson Hill (1905-1982) in the late 1970s, and art and photography collector Erich Sommer (d. 2004) in the mid 1980s.

THE JOHN HANNAVY COLLECTION OF CASED IMAGES Professor John Hannavy started collecting Victorian photography in the early 1970s, and as his collection grew, so did requests for him to write and illustrate historical articles for the photographic press. He curated The Camera Goes to War – the first exhibition devoted to the photography of the Crimean War – for the Scottish Arts Council in 1974, and his first monograph Roger Fenton of Crimble Hall was published by Gordon Fraser in the UK and David R. Godine in Boston in 1975. Masters of Victorian Photography was published the following year in the UK, US and Australia. His first book on Thomas Keith was published by Canongate in 1981. John wrote and appeared in the BBC Scotland tv series A Moment in Time in 1983, and the BBC North West series The Past in Focus in 1986. Amongst his recent major works are Case Histories – the presentation of the Victorian photographic portrait (Antique Collectors’ Club, 2005), Great Photographic Journeys – in the footsteps of pioneer British photographers abroad (Dewi Lewis, 2006) and, as Editor and contributor, The Encyclopedia of Nineteenth-Century Photography. His most recent book, The Victorian Photographs of Dr Thomas Keith and John Forbes White was published in 2015.

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.

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.
