The suffragette movement in the United Kingdom was particularly militant, with some of its members committing vandalism and assault: churches were firebombed, windows were smashed, MPs were terrorised, and an axe was even thrown at Prime Minister Asquith. Numerous activists were imprisoned and then force-fed when they went on hunger strikes. Ainslie captures the mood of the time in humorous fashion, with the two Dutch dolls joining the suffrage movement, fighting policemen at Westminster with pots and pans and smashing windows, taking to the skies in a Heath Robinson contraption, falling out onto the Prime Minister’s car, being imprisoned and made to eat chocolates, and finally being released. Four years after Ainslie’s book was published the First World War brought a halt to the public campaign, and at the end of the war women were granted the vote. (1) £200-300

In 1894 Beatrix Potter wrote a picture letter to the publishers Ernest Nister in which she described the adventures of a frog called Jeremy Fisher, wondering if her story could be made into a booklet. Robert Mack wrote back ‘I am doubtful whether we can take it, we certainly cannot make a booklet of it as people do not want frogs now... the days of these booklets are quite gone out, they do not pay to produce, people are so utterly tired of them and want some novelty’. After lengthy negotiations, in which Beatrix Potter stood firm over the sum she wanted for her illustrations, the publishers purchased nine of Potter’s drawings and used them to accompany Clifton Bingham’s verse in their Annual for 1896. Much later Potter was to write ‘Nister was an unattractive German (?) Firm - but it was my first start at anything published’.

THE BOB SMITH COLLECTION OF EDGAR WALLACE Bob Smith (1933-2002). In the early 1950s a young man browsing in a bookshop in Greenwich, London came across a volume of fiction and immediately recognised some of the street names in the story as being in Deptford where he himself lived. The young man purchased the book, his name was Bob Smith, the author of the book was Edgar Wallace. Most probably the title of this book was The Gaunt Stranger, published by Hodder & Stoughton in 1925, and published as The Ringer, by Doubleday Page, New York, in 1926. Nobody could ever have imagined that this first encounter would lead to a lifetime's obsession with the writings of Edgar Wallace. For over 50 years Bob searched with passion, bookshops and websites, always in the hope (like all collectors) that he would stumble across a previously elusive Edgar Wallace treasure! His ambition was to own a complete collection of English and American first editions, it was also his ambition that his collection would one day be passed on and enjoyed by other Edgar Wallace enthusiasts - that day is now. Edgar Wallace (1875-1932). Christened Richard Horatio Edgar Wallace, born to actress Polly Richards but was adopted at the age of nine days, by Billingsgate fish porter Dick Freeman. Wallace began his working life on Fleet Street at the age of 11 selling newspapers at Ludgate Circus. He went on to become one of the best known English crime writers of the early 20th century. He wrote 175 novels, 24 plays and numerous newspaper and magazine articles. Over 160 films have been made from his novels but he is perhaps best known today as the co-creator of King Kong, writing the early screenplay and story for the movie, as well as a short story 'King Kong' (1933) credited to him and Draycott Dell. The Edgar Wallace Appreciation Society was founded in 1969 by his youngest daughter Penelope and is today continued by her daughter, also named Penelope. (www.edgarwallace.org)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 17.5% of the hammer price. Where the lot is marked by an asterisk the premium will be subject to VAT at 17.5% 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 17.5% and assents to the Auctioneer receiving the said commission.

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.

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.

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 for which insurance the Auctioneer will charge a premium of £1.50 per £100. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
