Arguably the best known of all the large scale county maps due to the 100 guineas award from the Royal Society of Arts. Donn’s map of Devon was the first map to receive the award which had been conceived by the society in 1762. Donn had taken five years to survey the county and claimed to have measured over 6000 miles of roads and rivers. Highly accurate and exhaustively detailed, the map clearly benefits from Donn’s training as a mathematician, but the skill ofThomas Jefferys as an engraver cannot be understated. Although we have catalogued the map as lacking the key plate, it can be considered complete because it was published and sold in this simple twelve sheet format for one and a half guineas with an extra five shillings for colouring. It was also available in a bound state with a title page, printed index, subscribers list and index map for two guineas plus extra for colouring. Scarce. Brian Kentish.

Linda Hall, ‘Out of this World’, 22. Hevelius’s ‘Prodromus astonomiae exhibens fundamenta..’ was a monumental atlas in which 1,564 stars were all catalogued and arranged alphabetically under the name of the constellation and how bright each star shone within that particular constellation; he also noted the stars longitude and latitude. Hevelius’s research and rigorous scientific approach resulted in the discovery of eleven completely new constellations. Hevelius also approached the mapping of the stars from a new prospective, in that he showed them as if you were viewing them from space rather than from the earth. Such brilliance was much copied and plaguerised, but these original Hevelius star charts remain one of the landmarks in celestial cartography. (1) £12000-15000

One of series of caricatures published betwenn 1825 and 1829.The series lampooned the political and social issues of the day. Here, fantastical modes of transport, gas lights, the Thames Tunnel and a proposed bridge across the English channel are all satirised. Workers are seen relaxing in the street with a butcher and a coalman playing chess, an apple seller is reading Byron and the coach driver is deeply engrossed in a copy of ‘The Times’. The implication is that if the working classes aquired knowledge through education they would then neglect their duties. (1) £70-100

The Dillon Regiment was first raised in Ireland in 1688 by Theobald, 7th Viscount Dillon.

From 1777 to 1782 the Regiment fought as part of the French expeditionary force in the American Revolution. It remained faithful to France after the French Revolution. The Regiment's commander at this time Arthur Dillon (1750-1794) was guillotined during the Reign of Terror. Camille Desmoulins (1760-1794) was a French journalist and politician who played an important role in the French Revolution, being closely associated with Georges Danton. While awaiting his trial and execution, Desmoulins wrote love letters to his wife Lucile, not knowing that she had been arrested and that these letters would never be received. According to some accounts, he only learned of his wife's arrest on his way to his own execution along with a group that included Danton (5th April 1794). As he was being led to the guillotine he fought to resist his captors, crying out to his wife and reciting passages from the letters he had written to her. Lucile was herself guillotined eight days after her husband. (a folder and a book) ÂŁ700-1000

It wasn’t published again in the UK until it was included in ‘A Changed Man’ in 1913. This copy belonged to Hardy’s friend, the journalist and literary critic Clement K. Shorter. (1) £300-500

THE ROWLEY ATTERBURY COLLECTION OF TYPOGRAPHY & ILLUSTRATION Rowley Streatfeild Atterbury was born in 1920 and grew up on the Suffolk/Essex borders. His mother was a sister of the writer Noel Streatfeild. He joined the RAF in 1936 and served through WW2, working mostly as an armourer/fitter. In 1943 the RAF ordered him to prepare instruction manuals for various types of armaments, working with an illustrator, Edward Price, a former Royal College of Art student. This experience gave Rowley the life direction he had been seeking. In 1944 he was released briefly by the RAF and worked with the publishers, Faber & Faber. He returned to Fabers full time after the war, and trained as a designer and in book production. At this point he met Bertold Wolpe, Faber's Art Director, who became his mentor and lifelong friend.

In 1950 Rowley set up the Westerham Press, working initially from a garden shed at his home. The business grew rapidly, and many of Rowley's friendships and working relationships with artists and designers date from this period. Charles Mozley, Barnett Freeman, Lynton Lamb, Richard Beer, John Piper, Paul Sharp, David Gentleman, Roger Nicholson and many others came into his life, along with other printers and printing enthusiasts such as Ruari McLean and Robert Harling. Under Rowley's dynamic direction, the Westerham Press soon became well known as one of Britain's best printers, specialising initially in books, publishing and fine art, as well as commercial work. It was an adventurous company, pioneering four colour printing and computer typesetting and in the early 1960s moved into a striking new factory in Westerham that even met with Pevsner's approval. After a long, successful and sometimes turbulent existence, Westerham Press was sold in 1984. Rowley's interest in books and the history of printing and graphic arts was initially stimulated by Berthold Wolpe, other members of Faber & Faber, and artist friends such as Charles Mozley. His collection is a reflection of his wide ranging taste, his knowledge and his enthusiasm. It is also a record of the many friendships he has enjoyed with artists and designers throughout his life 488 Caesar (Julius). Caii Julii Caesaris opera omnia, [ed.

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.
