The Beggar’s Benison (or Bennison) was a Scottish Society of an erotic and convivial nature composed of the nobility and gentry of Anstruther and surrounding districts. The club was formally founded in 1739, original founders including Philip Paton (merchant comptroller of the customs at Kirkcaldy), Robert Hunter (customs clerk) and John McNachtane (customs officer at Anstruther). The recipient of this diploma is most likely the book collector George Paton (1721-1807). He spent most of his life as a customs clerk but built up an extensive library which took its origins in the bookseller’s stock of his father John Paton, a prominent Edinburgh bookseller and George Mosman, his maternal grandfather. Most of Paton’s books were sold by auction in 1809 and his manuscripts at a sale in 1811. The most substantial holdings of his correspondence are held in the National Library of Scotland.

I have attended four such conferences during the last six months and I can say with certainty that there is a widespread and deep anxiety concerning the future. With the change of policy at the RCA and the closing of art schools now in progress the feeling amongst craftsmen is that the difficulty of getting an adequate training has increased’, continuing to lay out his thoughts concerning training and concluding, ‘Apprentice students are usually a liability during their first year in a workshop, whatever school they come from, which in itself strengthens the argument for this further practical training.The first concern of craftsmen, who can afford to do any training at all, is to train another generation of craftsmen, some of these will become part-time teachers who will set standards and give example. ...’, recipient’s ink note at head of first page and deletion of the first line concerning a banker’s order, Leach Pottery letterhead and continuation leaf, a little spotting and soiling and pinhole marks to upper left corner, 2 pp. on two leaves, 4to

John Ruskin first met and became close friends with the Simons in 1856. Dr. John Simon was one of his favourite physicians who later treated him after his first nervous breakdown. The ‘Golden Water’ watercolour by Rossetti referred to was leant to Miss Bell, principal of Winnington Hall School, 1863-5, and caused some friction between Ruskin and Rossetti who thought it had been sold. Ruskin later gave it to Mrs. Constance Churchill and it now hangs in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge. Ruskin’s affection for the young ‘Boo’ was not unique and it is with the young Jane Faulkner that the poet Algenon Charles Swinburne is said to have had the only genuine romance of his life. He impossibly proposed to her in 1862 and following his mocking rejection at the hands of the Simon household, fled to Northumberland. Here he wrote some of his noblest poetry, but never again attained a normal emotional life, the precocious and attractive Jane ending her own days as a degenerate wreck.

During 1957 and 1958 Britain conducted nuclear tests in the Pacific including six at Christmas Island, then a British colony. British, Australian, New Zealand and Fijian servicemen were exposed to risks of radiation, as were the indigenous Gilbertese in the test zones. For decades personnel exposed to the radiation have sought compensation from Britain’s Ministry of Defence who deny negligence or that sickness is caused by exposure to the radiation.

These fine photographs were probably taken by the British RAF to demonstrate how life was unaffected by the nuclear tests.

ALBERTO KORDA (1928-2001) Alberto Korda was born Alberto Diaz Gutierrez in Havana in 1928, the same year as Ernesto Che Guevara.

He began his career as a photographer taking photographs at banquets, baptisims and weddings. In the early years, Korda was most interested in fashion because it allowed him to pursue his two favourite things, photography and beautiful women. He became Cuba's premier fashion photographer. The Cuban Revolution was the turning point in Korda's career. He became a photographer for the Cuban newspaper Revolucion in March 1960 and went on to become Fidel's personal photographer. He died in Paris in 2001 while presenting an exhibition of his work, and is buried in Havana.

At the start of March 1960, more than a year after taking power, the French cargo vessel La Coubre from the General Transatlantic Company arrived in port at Havana. It was carrying a second load of munitions that the Cubans had succeeded in buying from Belgium, inspite of Washington's opposition. But on March 4, two enormous explosions shook the city. The attack killed 81 port workers and wounded another 200. Fidel blamed the CIA and this carnage ended any hope of reconciliation with the United States.The next stage during the funeral service for the victims at Havana Cemetery, Korda was there for the newspaper Revolucion. He took photos of Fidel Castro during his angry speech, some of Che Guevara, and others of Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoire, the French intellectuals who had just arrived in Cuba.

By reflex, I snapped twice - one horizontal shot and one vertical. I didn't have enough time to take a third photo, as he stepped back discreetly into the second row. Back in my studio, I developed the film and made a few prints for Revolucion. Because there was a head showing over his shoulder in the vertical shot, I cropped the horizontal photo. The editor-in-chief chose to publish a photo of Fidel on the front page instead, but I liked the Che portrait so much I later made a bigger print, 11 x 14 ins, and hung it in my studio' (Cuba by Korda, 2006).

Scarce fantasy tale in verse about a trip to the moon, planets and stars in a balloon.

The rare 1973 annual depicting Rupert with a brown face. Traditionally, Rupert always had a brown face on the front cover (and continued to do so after 1973). For the year of 1973 Bestall gave Rupert a brown face as usual, but the editor of the Express thought that this blended into the background too much, so decided to change Rupert to a white bear without consulting Bestall. When Bestall realised, he left in protest and never drew another cover for a Rupert annual. He was incensed at not being consulted about the decision, and also annoyed that the editor didn’t think to reintroduce the shading and shadows present in his version. To appease Bestall, his signature was disguised on the covers of the white-faced annual. There is thought to be less than half a dozen of the brown-faced annual produced, and to our knowledge only four have come to light. The holy grail of any Rupert collection!

1055* Noddy - Harmsen van der Beek, 1897-1953. “You should just have seen Noddy and Little Tubby dancing together”, original illustration for Noddy Goes to School, 1952, pen, ink and watercolour, signed by Beek in lower left-hand corner, on card mounted on board, image size 173 x 125mm (6.75 x 5ins) ‘Noddy Goes to School’ is the sixth title in the Noddy series. It is for Enid Blyton’s Noddy characters that Beek is most remembered. Noddy came into being when David White, the managing director of Sampson Low and Company, suggested beginning a new series of books with Enid Blyton. He wanted to create a popular character for younger children with bright and colourful illustrations. Enid selected the Dutch artist Harmsen van der Beek from a number of illustrators, insisting on meeting the artist before considering ideas for the new series. Beek travelled from Amsterdam for the arranged meeting with Enid and within two hours they had imagined Noddy goes to Toyland through words and sketches. Within four days Enid had sent off her first two Noddy book manuscripts to David White with the accompanying note: ‘I have finished the first two little Noddy books and here they are. I have written them with a view to give van der Beek all the scope possible for his particular genius - toys - pixies, goblins, Toyland, brick-houses, dolls houses, toadstool houses, market-places - he’ll really enjoy himself! I don’t want to tell him how to interpret anything because he’ll do it much better if he has a perfectly free hand...’. When Enid Blyton saw Beek’s work she was delighted, saying that the artist had created Noddy and his environment exactly as she had visualised. Unlike Blyton, whose prolific output is an indicator of how quickly she wrote, Beek often struggled to meet his deadlines, and must have spent many hours on the pictures of each book.

He confessed that at times, working late into the night, he saw little Noddys crawling all over his desk.

It came as something of a reproach to me, as I had meant to send you a copy of my book. What is it that deters one in these good intentions? Partly, perhaps, the feeling that a friend ought not to be put in the embarrassing position of having to reply. That is particularly so with books of poetry as tastes differ very widely, and the first review of this book that I read was so terribly scathing that I thought several of my friends would blush.

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.
