Provenance: Basil Lubbock (1876-1944, yachtsman and maritime author), his signature to front endpaper, dated 1906. A good copy of a scarce collection of voyages by Alexander Dalrymple (1737-1808), Scottish geographer, East India Company employee and first Hydrographer of the Admiralty. He was a passionate believer in the existence of a great Southern Continent, Terra Australis Incognita, and his partial translations of Spanish voyages in volume I (Magellan, Mandana and De Quiros) and Dutch voyages in volume II (Le Maire, Schouten, Tasman and Roggeveen) were made to support his theory. Although disproved by Cook, who at the time commanded the Endeavour voyage to observe the transit of Venus (the command was originally offered to Dalrymple), discovering the east coast of Australia, the work was well-regarded and his reputation as a cartographer enhanced, and he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1771. His disappointment at the Admiralty at being relaced by Cook on the Endeavour voyage (partly as a result on his insistence on being granted a commission) is reflected in his ‘dedication’ in which he attacks previous British explorers of the region. The exceedingly rare author’s edition of volume I was published in 1769 (with the title and dedication both dated 1769), with volume II published in 1771 as above, so the volume I title and dedication are present here as cancels.

While not conclusive, the best suggestion of an atelier (if only one) is that of Gautier Lebaube – see Robert Branner, 'Manuscript Painting in Paris During the Reign of Saint Louis', University of California Press, 1977, esp. pp. 72-5 and figs. 144-162. Provenance: 1) Florid signature of Thomas "Honest Tom" Martin (1697-1771), antiquary, to front pastedown, and a neat note in his hand to front free endpaper:'Altho' this book be imperfect it is well worth preserving for its beautiful handwriting and very fine vellum &c'. In 'A Catalogue of the Library of Mr. Thomas Martin, of Palgrave in Suffolk, Lately Deceased', W. Whittingham, 1772, the bible is identifiable at no. 8 in the octavos: 'Sancti Heronomi, illm. on vellum'. It does not appear to be listed in the sale catalogue for the collection from 1773. 2) Armorial bookplate of T[homas] Barber of [Yarmouth], Norfolk, antiquary, who may have acquired this at that time nonetheless. 3) Emily Bagot 'given me by papa' has inscribed adjacent to Thomas Martin's signature. This is possibly the daughter of Hon. Richard Bagot, Dean of Canterbury, 1827-45, and subsequently bishop of Oxford, and of Bath and Wells. £3000-5000 (1)

In the first place it is only a rude sketch. In the next place to lose the first printed publication of it would be a serious pecuniary loss to me - when I say that I need not say more', signed 'Thomas Campbell' at foot, 1 p. with integral address panel, sl. torn at inner margin with a little loss of text, 4to

Thomas Campbell was taking the waters in Ems and in 'Life and Letters' ed. William Beattie, 1850, vol. 3, pp. 317 ff, Beattie notes that Campbell was busy at this date composing "The Child and Hinds" and that "writing the ballad had fevered him".

Middleton Massey, MD (dated 11 June 1729) to first leaf and that of Thomas Martin to verso, old half calf over marbled boards, some loss of paper, some old damp staining and dust soiling, but all shields and captions clear and bright, plain calf reback, oblong folio (25 x 35cm), housed in a purpose-made modern quarter morocco gilt slipcase, folio A UNIQUE HERALDIC ROLL BASED ON FIELD TINCTURE. This Roll called the ‘Aynsworth Roll’ [bearing the date 1546] measured 20 feet 3 inches x 17 inches. As presented here, the roll has been cut into strips of four rows of 9 shields, and further cut vertically to have four columns on each left sheet and five columns on each facing sheet, some sheets with old backing paper. The manuscript was owned by R. Middleton Massey, M.D. (1678-1743), sub-librarian of the Ashmolean Museum and Secretary to the Society of Antiquities in 1725/6; Peter le Neve (1662-1729), Norroy King of Arms (1704-1729); and later, Thomas Martin of Palgrave (1697-1771), the noted antiquary and collector, who married le Neve’s widow, whose signature appears on first folio verso, with a note in his holograph to first leaf recto concerning the date 1546. This note repeats a similar note in le Neve’s holograph pasted to the margin of the second leaf recto. This roll comprises numerous examples of arms which do not appear in the heraldic dictionaries, and some fifty examples of Royal arms (with the emphasis on Plantagenet Dukes) differenced with varied labels and bordures. It was made into a folio volume before 1729, maintaining the integrity of the original Roll, and may have been lot 445 in le Neve’s sale catalogue dated 22 February 1731 by John Wilcox; see ‘An Old Roll of Arms Painted’ included under Manuscripts, Folio Books. Later it was lot 608 at the Sotheby’s sale of Arthur Wakerley’s effects in July 1951, and was bought by Edward Mars Elmhirst F.S.A. (1915-1957), a noted collector of important artefacts and one of the compilers of the ‘Dictionary of British Arms’; his armorial bookplate appears under Massey’s ownership signature and adjacent to Martin’s note on the first folio recto. Peter le Neve evidently used this manuscript since it contains some 110 annotations and notes in his holograph. It is thought to be a unique example of an armorial alphabet based purely on field tincture. The manuscript is of historical importance and seems to come out of a similar school to Wriothesley’s in the sense of being a stage in the evolution of the concept of administration and organisation of materials held by heralds. Indeed, in both style and script there is a recognisable similarity to parts of College of Arms Ms L10, in which the paint appears to be the same litmus-based pigment of this manuscript, and the script of the scribe there (those pages not in Wriothesley’s own hand) is very similar. The manuscript can be seen therefore as a step in the development and classification of heraldic knowledge, perhaps as the prototype of an Ordinary, based not on the charge but on the field tincture.

The armorial shields and crests are finely executed in black ink and tricked, with many quarted and some including 6 to 18 quarterings.

One of the witnesses, Octavian, Cardinal of Santa Maria in Via Lata, was in correspondence with Henry III concerning his Sicilian interests in 1258. The First General Council of Lyon opened on 28 June 1245. It was presided over by Pope Innocent IV. Innocent IV, threatened by Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II, arrived at Lyon December 2, 1244, and early the following year he summoned the Church’s bishops to the council later that same year. Some two hundred and fifty prelates responded including the Latin Patriarchs of Constantinople, Antioch, and Aquileia (Venice) and 140 bishops. The Latin emperor Baldwin II of Constantinople, Raymond VII, Count of Toulouse, and Raymond Bérenger IV, Count of Provence were among those who participated. With Rome under siege by Emperor Frederick II, the pope used the council to excommunicate and depose the emperor with Ad Apostolicae Dignitatis Apicem, as well as the Portuguese King Sancho II. The council also directed a new crusade (the Seventh Crusade), under the command of Louis IX of France, to reconquer the Holy Land. At the opening, June 28, after the signing of the Veni Creator, Spiritu, Innocent IV preached on the subject of the five wounds of the Church and compared them to his own five sorrows: (1) the poor behaviour of both clergy and laity; (2) the insolence of the Saracens who occupied the Holy Land; (3) the Great East-West Schism; (4) the cruelties of the Tatars in Hungary; and (5) the persecution of the Church by the Emperor Frederick. £700-1000 (1)

Giovanni Francesco Straparola (c.1480-c.1557) was an Italian writer and collector of fairy tales, from Caravaggio, Italy. His ‘Piacevolissime Notti’ is one of the earliest and most important collections of traditional tales. The work contains a series of novellas that were later used as source material by William Shakespeare, Molière, Charles Perrault and others; it introduced into European literature a number of folk tales, among them ‘Beauty and the Beast’ and ‘Puss in Boots’. Using a technique borrowed from Boccaccio’s ‘Decameron’, Straparola set his stories within a frame; each one is told on a successive night by a party of men and women relaxing at Murano in Venice.

British book illustrator and stained-glass artist Paul Woodroffe trained at the Slade School of Fine Art in Bloomsbury, and his first illustrated book ‘Ye Booke of Nursery Rhymes’ was published in 1895 while he was still a student.

Early on in the period, Ashbee was responsible for redesigning Woodroffe’s cottage and adapting it to include an artist’s studio. (1) £700-1000

PAUL S. SHARP (1921-1998) A pioneering graphic designer who came to prominence in the early 1960s when the profession emerged combining the elements of typography, illustration and commercial art, Paul Sharp was born in Sowerby Bridge, West Yorkshire where he attended Queen Elizabeth Grammar School followed by Wakefield School of Arts and Crafts in 1937, and Leeds College of Art in 1940-41. He served in the RAF from 1941 to 1946 as a Radar Technician located in Scotland, Lincolnshire and Surrey. Following his demobilisation he studied at the Royal College of Art, from May 1946 to 1949, obtaining an ARCA Diploma, and then began teaching at Farnham College of Art ultimately as Head of the Department of Design. During this time he developed a reputation as a gifted watercolour illustrator, artist and printmaker. His distinct images of the British countryside and of London date from the early 1950s to the early 1970s. In 1960 he left teaching and became a full-time graphic designer. He was introduced to Westerham Press by Ruari McLean and encouraged by Rowley Atterbury, founder of the Press, he soon became their artist in situ working on a great variety of projects. A major task was the creation of a series of guide books for National Benzole Petroleum in which he produced a series of colour illustrations in the manner of John Piper. This was the first paperback printed in full colour offset litho throughout. Rowley Atterbury writes ‘Paul Sharp’s masterpiece was the 1973 two-volume Inigo Jones: The Theatre of the Stuart Court by Stephen Orgel and Roy Strong for Sotheby Parke-Bernet. It included the complete designs for productions at Court, mostly from the collection of the Duke of Devonshire, together with their texts and historical documentation. This major work, designed by Paul, totalled 843 pages size 13” x 9”. ‘ His reputation grew and he provided work for clients as diverse as the Paul Mellon Foundation, The National Gallery, The British Road Federation, Sotheby’s, Taylor Woodrow, Royal Doulton, The Mermaid Theatre, The Science Museum, Findlaters, Spink, Mallets –all marked by his well ordered graphic style. Paul Sharp’s formal sense of proportion, careful use of white space and preference for sans serif typefaces became a personal trademark, characterising the books and catalogues he designed, and illustrates the continuing impact of Bauhaus on midtwentieth century British design. As a designer he worked frequently with photographers, but his most distinctive work was always that which drew upon his ability to catch in a few lines and a few minutes the essence of a building, a landscape or an industrial scene. He could draw through a car window, or under an umbrella in a howling gale. For Nicholson’s Guide to the Thames, he drew all of London’s bridges in one day. He was artist first and designer second and loved the chance to bring the two skills together. He carried the British tradition of watercolour, illustration and formal design, in which every detail was meticulously and precisely planned on paper, into the modern world of desktop publishing. He remained a one man design group all his life imposing a sense of order on books, catalogues, brochures and advertising material of extraordinary diversity.

An interesting correspondence giving detailed information and updates on Gibbings’s current work, broadcasts, and exhibitions. For example, he writes of his book illustration: ‘I am so glad you liked “Blue Angels”... Yes, I think you’re right that it is better than Typee, being very much more complete as an entity and much richer in illustration. I only wish the writing was up to Melville’s’. Gibbings also discusses his scuptural work, in March 1938: ‘Herewith a photo of the torso which was bought by A. Crooks-Ripley. The big one is meant to represent “Earth”, holding up her hands for the rain which will fertilize her. The figure itself has many phallic forms so that it will combine both male and female. I wish to Heaven I had time to get on and finish it’. Gibbings mentions the sculpture again in December 1940: ‘I am afraid “Earth” is still unfinished as my studio got overlaid with prams and mowing machines but when the war is over I may be able to make a clearance and get down to it again.’, and he goes on to say ‘At the moment I am planning a book on the Wye. As I seem to be incompetent for any form of war service I may as well help the home morale by distracting their thoughts’. The artist also gives news of his involvement at Reading University: ‘we are developing what I hope is going to be a very important school of Book-production. I have Frank Young, my G.C.P compositor, as demonstrator under me and gradually we are building up this branch of “learning”. The Univeristy have even accepted Typography as a subject for the B.A.’ (11) £200-300

Conditions of Sale and Business 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.

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.

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 19.5% of the hammer price. Where the lot is marked by an asterisk the premium will be subject to VAT at 23.40% 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 19.5% 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. 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.
