BOOKS FROM THE LIBRARY OF ARDKINGLAS, ARGYLL Ardkinglas, a beautiful house on banks of Loch Fyne, was designed by renowned Scottish architect Sir Robert Lorimer. Completed in 1907, after a construction period of just 18 months, Ardkinglas was constructed with the finest quality materials — combining traditional skills with Edwardian Britain’s latest technology. Lorimer’s client was Sir Andrew Noble, a wealthy man with a historic estate in the Highlands, who was happy to give the architect free rein. The library is housed on the ground floor of the house, Sir Andrew’s domain, alongside his gun room and oval office. Sir Andrew would spend the holidays at Ardkinglas until his death in 1915. The house then passed to his fourth son, John Henry Brunel Noble, who became the 1st baronet of Ardkinglas. John Noble was a connoisseur and a great silver collector -a selection of volumes on silver from his collection are on offer here. Ardkinglas is still home to the Noble family, after the 1st baronet died in 1972 the house passed to his son Simon John Noble [Johnny]. Johnny Noble began to farm oysters in an attempt to bring the estate back from the snatches of heavy death duties. Loch Fyne Oysters are now a household name. The 2nd baronet’s love of natural history — he was great fan of his arboretum — is reflected in the beautiful botantical volumes such as Caw’s Genus Crocus and Elwes hand coloured work on the lily.

Cobden-Sanderson before 1900, shortly after he invited Sir Emery Walker to join him in partnership. Cobden-Sanderson commissioned the Doves type, based on those used by Nicolas Jensen in the 15th century, and all books produced by the press between 1900-1916 used this type. It is generally thought that the Doves Bible was the greatest masterpiece of the Doves Press. It was issued in five volumes between 1903-1905 to a keen list of subscribers. Each volume of the Bible contains a large number of hand-lettered initials and is a fine example of the use of calligraphy and typography. The print run sold out by the time printing ended. As soon as Walker and CobdenSanderson issued volume five in June 1905 they announced that the Doves Bible, like all other previous Doves Press editions, was out of print. £3,000-5,000

Stevenson’s nanny] A.L.S. to the portrait painter George Fiddes Watt, saying that she is not able to sit for him due to a sore throat, 2 pp., 1 Conniston Place, 1 March 1909, tipped in; Fiddes Watt, George A.L.S. to Lord [Charles John] Guthrie, thanking him for the cheque of 50 guineas for the picture of Cummy [Alison Cunningham], stating that he cannot paint her today as she is not well and that he is enclosing her reply to him, with a signed receipt for the portrait of Cummy, 3pp., 2 Great Stuart Street, Edinburgh, 3rd March 1909, tipped in; Guthrie, Jane A.C. A.L.S. to Lord Guthrie, thanking him for a wonderful teddy bear for Euan, 18 March 1909, tipped in, all present in a copy of A child’s garden of verses. London: John Lane, The Bodley Head, [?1908], illustrated by Charles Robinson, inscribed on first blank leaf by Lord Guthrie to “Frances M. Guthrie from the author’s college friend (out of his slender literary earnings), 2 December 1908”, 8 coloured plates, numerous illustrations & coloured endpapers by Charles Robinson, original pictorial cloth, t.e.g., others uncut, occasional slight spotting, short split at head of joints Note: A fine association copy. W.E. Henley was a close and early friend of R.L. Stevenson and, according to Stevenson, the model for Long John Silver in Treasure Island. He collaborated with Robert Louis Stevenson on various literary works including Deacon Brodie (1897), Beau Austin (1884) and Admiral Guinea, a melodrama (1884). Charles John Guthrie, Lord Guthrie, (1849- 1920), a Scottish lawyer who was the judge in the Oscar Slater trial, was Stevenson’s senior by a year and a fellow student of his during his reading for the Bar. They were Presidents of the Speculative Society in 1872. He was the author of “Cummy”, the nurse of Robert Louis Stevenson : a tribute to the memory of Alison Cunningham (1913) and earned the gratitude of Stevensonians by making Swanston Cottage (Stevenson’s summer home for twelve years), of which he was the tenant, in part a museum in which were collected portraits, manuscripts, and other memorials of the novelist and of his family and associates, including the cabinet made by the notorious Deacon Brodie, which stood in the Stevenson nursery when Robert Louis Stevenson was a child. Lord Guthrie’s collection was bequeathed to the Stevenson museum at the author’s birthplace, 8 Howard Place, before being transferred to Lady Stair’s house, now The Writer’s Museum. Alison Cunningham, “Cummy” (1822-1913), was Robert Louis Stevenson’s nurse. Born in Torryburn, Fife, Cummy was a strict Calvinist. She became Robert Louis Stevenson’s nurse in 1852, remaining in the household until November 1872. She was deeply devoted and loyal to the Stevensons and loved Robert Louis Stevenson. Stevenson was equally fond of her and dedicated A Child’s Garden of Verses (1885) to her to thank her for the nights she spent caring for him when he was ill as a child. Tipped in at the beginning is a compliments slip from the Chief Librarian of Dundee Free Libraries, Museums and Fine Art Galleries stating that the book and the letters were exhibited in the Fine Art Galleries, Dundee, at the exhibition of 1932. £1,000-1,500

Note: A unique collection of material from the Victorian East Renfrewshire amateur photographer A.B. Ovenstone. The collection covers the period 1880-1890 when Ovenstone was at his most active, travelling throughout Scotland producing views of Scottish rural and coastal life. It is clear that Ovenstone possessed an artistic eye and the beautifuly composed landscape and figural studies reflect the Pictorialist influence of the time. Ovenstone was a well respected photographer and a founding member of the Glasgow & West Coast Photographic Association. He won several medals for his work, including a silver medal awarded by Amateur Photographer in 1885 for his piece At the pool. Other accolades include one silver and two bronze medals from the Glasgow & West Coast Photographic Association for his figure studies, including Haymaking and Pushing off. Ovenstone’s involvement in the Scottish art world did stretch beyond photography; as a member of the Glasgow Art Club and of the committee of the Art Union, he was closely associated with the exhibitions of the Royal Glasgow Fine Art Institute. Ovenstone’s carved a life long career out in the Glasgow shipping industry, starting with the firm of Handyside & Henderson he was eventually appointed Atlantic Freight Manager for the Anchor Line in 1880. In his retirement announcement in The Bailie he was remembered for his kindness and geniality, “well known and respected from Liverpool to John o’Groats”. It was well known that Ovenstone devoted much of his spare time to his photography, a passion he continued to pursue during his years of well-earned retirement. His interest in shipping is clearly reflected in his photographs, with several views showing yachting on the Clyde and several steamers. It is thought that a majority of Ovenstone’s views of late 19th century Scotland have never been seen before and, alongside their strong artistic merit, represent an invaluable record of rural and coastal life in Scotland in the 1880’s. £10,000-15,000

ORIGINAL ILLUSTRATIONS BY CHARLES WILLIAM STEWART (1915-2001) Charles William Stewart was an artist, designer, teacher, landowner, ballet dancer, conscientious objector and, in his own words, “that obsessed and demented being, a collector”. He was born in 1915 on Ilo-Ilo, an island in the Philippines where his father worked for a merchant company. When the First World War ended in 1918, his mother brought him back the UK to live with his grandparents in Sussex and with his uncle at Shambellie, near Dumfries. Charles studied at the Byam Shaw School of Drawing and Painting in London, while at the same time dancing at Covent Garden as a member of the Corps de ballet. Over the years, his creativity and an innate “romantic and nostalgic interest in the past” would find an outlet on the printed page and through his collection of historical costume. As a conscientious objector Stewart joined the ARP in London as a stretcher bearer in 1940. Early in the war he began drawing with a pen. It was during this period that he received his first book-illustration commission, for Hob and Bob, by Rose Fyleman, which appeared in 1944. A big opportunity came in 1946, when the Bodley Head commissioned Stewart to illustrate Sheridan Le Fanu’s Uncle Silas. After demobilisation Stewart worked on this for 18 months, but publication was postponed indefinitely for technical and financial reasons. Post-war Stewart embarked on a career illustrating calendars, magazines and books; publishers appreciating his ability with pen, pencil and wash to evoke vanished worlds. The wood engraver Thomas Bewick and the Victorian illustrators George Cruikshank and “Phiz” were influences. In 1950, Stewart returned to Byam Shaw to teach life drawing and illustration, and in 1958, a few years before retiring, became a joint principal. He was still illustrating, being especially proud of his work on Edward Fitzgerald’s translation of The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám (1955), and was excited when the Limited Editions Club, New York, commissioned him to illustrate W.M. Thackeray’s Pendennis (1961). Stewart’s interest in historical costume is greatly reflected in his work. To aid his illustrating, Stewart bought a dummy, supplanted eventually by a good 19th-century life-size lay model, named Rosie, able to take almost any pose. “We travelled home in a taxi and the driver remarked in a confidential tone, ‘You’re like me, Sir, you likes ‘em quiet!’ “ When Stewart learned that Pietro Annigoni needed a lay-figure to use for his 1956 portrait of the Queen, he offered Rosie. “She drove to Buckingham Palace, seated demurely in a taxi, holding her head in her lap.” Annigoni rewarded Stewart with a drawing of Rosie in the Queen’s Garter Robes. Rosie appeared in many guises in Stewart’s illustrations, in works including Sheridan Le Fanu’s Uncle Silas, William Thackeray’s Pendennis and Edward FitzGerald’s translation of Omar Khayyam’s poetry. Stewart grew concerned that his collection of costumes, fashion plates and stage designs should not be dispersed when he died. In 1977, he handed over the responsibility for over 2,000 costumes and accessories to the Royal Scottish Museum and for Shambellie to the Department of the Environment. It opened in 1982 as Shambellie House Museum of Costume. Stewart continued to illustrate late on into his life. For the Folio Society he did three notable books, Uncle Silas, an ambition at last achieved (1988); Mistress Masham’s Repose, by T.H. White (1989); and Ghost Stories and Other Horrid Tales (1997).

BOOKS FROM THE LIBRARY OF KINROSS HOUSE Kinross House was built between 1685-1693 by one of Scotland’s premier architects, Sir William Bruce (1630-1710), to be his new home on the Loch Leven estate which he bought in 1675 from the Earls of Morton. The Palladian mansion became one of Bruce’s triumphs and is still regarded as one of Scotland’s most important country houses. The house remained in Bruce family ownership until it was bought by George Graham in 1777 and came into the Montgomery family ownership in 1823 through marriage. The library at Kinross House was largely formed by Sir James Montgomery Bart (1721-1803), first Baronet of Stanhope, Lord Chief Baron and Chancellor of the Exchequer in Scotland whose family home was Stobo castle in the Borders. Many of the books contain his armorial bookplate which also appears to have been used by his son, Sir James Montgomery, 2nd Bart.

10. COMMISSION BIDS While prospective buyers are strongly advised to attend the auction and are always responsible for any decision to bid for a particular lot and shall be assumed to have carefully inspected and satisfied themselves as to its condition we shall if so instructed clearly and in writing execute bids on their behalf. Neither the auctioneer or our employees or agents shall be responsible for any failure to do so.

We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the auctioneer or our employees or agents or the seller accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and all conditions and warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of lots, express, implied or statutory, are hereby excluded. This Condition is subject to the next following Condition concerning deliberate forgeries and applies save as provided for in paragraph 6 “information to buyers”. (2) Private treaty sales made under these Conditions are deemed to be sales by auction for purposes of consumer legislation. 16. FORGERIES Notwithstanding the preceding Condition, any Lot which proves to be a deliberate forgery (as defined) may be returned to us by you within 21 days of the auction provided it is in the same condition as when bought, and is accompanied by particulars identifying it from the relevant catalogue description and a written statement of defects. If we are satisfied from the evidence presented that the lot is a deliberate forgery we shall refund the money paid by you for the lot including any buyer’s premium provided that (1) if the catalogue description reflected the accepted view of scholars and experts as at the date of sale or (2) you personally are not able to transfer a good and marketable title to us, you shall have no rights under this condition. The right of return provided by this Condition is additional to any right or remedy provided by law or by these Conditions of Sale.
12. AGENCY
