He is probably best remembered for his manufacture of inflatable paper globes. This example would appear to have been completed by a pupil at Mr. Pocock’s academy.

Scene from Goethe’s ‘Gotz von Berlichingen’, 1841, uncoloured etching on india, etched signature and date inside plate mark, tipped on to contemporary card, some staining and spotting to margins, image size 200 x 150mm Queen Victoria and Prince Albert took up etching in 1840 under the tutelage of the Royal portrait painter Sir George Hayter. Both were competent artists and over the rest of the decade Queen Victoria etched some sixty-two plates and Prince Albert twenty-five. Most compositions were based on paintings and drawings in their collection, but some were also based on each other’s sketches. The plates were etched at Windsor Castle and some proof impressions were pulled from a small press there. Occasionally, however, the plates were entrusted to a local printer called Brown who had instructions to return all impressions and plates to the Castle. The Queen and Prince Albert never intended these very personal etchings to stray outside of a very tight circle of family and friends. However, in 1847, a local journalist called Jasper Tomsett Judge, who specialised in Royal reportage for the gossip hungry tourist trade, managed to acquire sixty unauthorised prints for £5 from a journeyman employee of Brown’s called Middleton. Intending to launch an exhibition in London with William Strange, Judge produced a catalogue of the prints which was intended for sale. The press releases in the newspapers advertising the event reached the attention of the Queen and Prince Albert who were clearly not amused. A wave of lawsuits and injunctions against Judge, Strange and Middleton quickly followed and the exhibition and catalogue were never to be. As such, very few etchings by either Royal exist outside of the private collections at Windsor (who have a full set) and the British Museum (who were given a set by King George V). Examples are also owned by the Victoria & Albert Museum as well as small numbers in private hands. (1) £200-300

HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS, AUTOGRAPHS & EPHEMERA 264* San Francisco Earthquake. A first-hand eyewitness account of the San Francisco earthquake on 18 April 1906, an autograph letter written by an unidentified man [Peter?] to his brother Julius [?Simon, managing director of Anglo-Californian Bank] from San Francisco, 26 April 1906, beginning 'At last I am sufficiently composed to sit down to write of the appalling calamity which overtook us on the 18th inst. No pen can ever describe the horrible and frightful earthquake which at 5.15 am awoke us. Panic stricken Pauline, Ida, Irene and myself rushed in our night robes into the street, thinking every second that the houses around us would crush us to death. 100 fires started in all parts of the city - the earthquake was terrifying - everything in the house crashed to the floor, chandeliers fell, but the noise of the "quake" drowned all else. We did not safe anything, and rushed back to put on our necessary apparel and thus escaped destruction. The fire now rushed in one tremendous seething mass of flames and one block after another fell a mass of ashes, our Bank burned one of the first on Wednesday morning the 18th. The balance sheets and some books of records outside the vaults were saved - Steinhart is almost prostrated - the responsibility is too much for him – but P.N.L[ilienthal] will be here tomorrow with his son Joe and that will relieve him. Mr L's house though badly damaged inside - and all windows broken - is the temporary executive office of the Bank. No. 1805 Franklin St. we have all reported there for duty - but very little can be done - it will take fully a month before the vaults can be safely opened, as the debris piled up around them is yet intensely hot from the Bay to Van Ness Ave. 2/3 of San Fr. is burned and the sight is one never to be forgotten. As far as the eye can see, miles upon miles, nothing greets you but utter desolation - right opposite Mr L's house all is burned. Steinhart's beautiful mansion on Van Ness Ave. is nothing but a pile of ashes - we walked up five or six miles to the Presidio Military Reservation - there I've got a tent - and spreading a blanket on the ground we camped there for five days - getting rations from the military post - and I had to stand in line for hours to get it - 16000 people camped with us. I do not know how I ever lived through it - I could scarcely walk 3 blocks without hacking and gasping for breath - for since I have the bronchitis some years ago - my chest hurts very much if I walk but the terrible excitement, must have put new life within me - for I walk and walk miles and do not feel any bad consequences. The heavy fogs and cold winds at the Presidio at nights were simply dreadful...', and continuing in the same vein with mentions of Tillies and another brother called Theodore, six pages, a few spots, 8vo, together with another first-hand manuscript account on the aftermath of the San Francisco earthquake, in a letter from Anglo-California bank managers Phillip Lilienthal to Julius Simon, 24 May 1906, relating his efforts to rescue valuables and documents before the bank building caught fire and with hopes that the bank can play a part in rebuilding the city, 6 pp. on Anglo-Californian Bank letterhead with punch holes to upper margin, plus two further related copy letters, one from Simon to Lilienthal dated 21 April 1906, 8 pp. and another to [Ignatz] Steinhart from Simon(?), 13 June 1906, 4 pp. on onion paper, all with minor marginal fraying, 4to, plus Caspar (C.N., publisher), San Francisco Destroyed, Milwaukee, [1906?], black and white illustrations from photos, original printed wrappers, a little rubbed, oblong folio

278* Souvenir napkin. Souvenir in Affectionate Remembrance of Miss Emily Wilding Davison, B.A., the first martyr to give her life to the cause of the “Women’s Vote”, [1913], crepe paper napkin, printed with portrait photograph and text in black & white, with white printed lace-effect border incorporating posies of violets in purple and green, slightly creased at edges and a trifle frayed in a few places, 37 x 36.5cm (14.75 x 14.5ins) A rare survival of a fragile piece of suffragette ephemera in very good condition. Emily Wilding Davison (1872-1913) became a member of the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU) in 1906, and soon became known for her daring militant action, which included setting fire to postboxes, breaking windows and throwing stones. On three occasions she hid overnight in the Palace of Westminster, including on the night of the 1911 census. She was arrested nine times, went on hunger strike on seven occasions, and was force-fed forty-nine times. She died after being hit by King George V’s horse, Anmer, at the 1913 Epsom Derby, when she walked onto the track during the race. Davison’s funeral on 14th June 1913 was organised by the WSPU. Her coffin was accompanied by a procession of 5,000 suffragettes and their supporters, and 50,000 people lined the route through London. Afterwards her coffin was taken by train to the family plot in Morpeth, Northumberland. (1) £200-300

279* Suffragettes. Panko or Votes for Women. The Great Card Game Suffragists v. Anti-Suffragists. Pictures by E.T. Reed, of “Punch.” Peter Gurney Ltd., circa 1910, card game consisting of 48 cards (4 Suffragist suits and 4 Anti-Suffragist suits, each consisting of 6 cards) and features Emmeline Pankhurst and Winston Churchill, cards printed in purple, green, and white, folding leaf of game instructions with short closed tear to fold, contained together in original printed box, (lid broken)

277* Souvenir napkins. A collection of twenty-five commemorative napkins, early 20th century, together twenty-five crepe paper napkins, pertaining to sport, British and foreign royalty, WWI, Salvation Army, etc., printed with text and portraits in black, within decorative borders printed in colours, some fraying and creasing, and occasional tears, a few spotted, but generally in good condition, approximately 38 x 38cm (15 x 15ins)

This card game from around 1910 shows pictures of events happening in the suffrage “Votes for Woman” era. The game consists of 48 cards in eight sets of six - “Fourteen Days!”, “Votes for Women.”, “Toot! Toot! Toot!”, “Law! Law! Law!”, “Gaol! Gaol! Gaol!”, “Help! Help! Help!”, “Turn ‘Em Out!”, and “Pank! Pank! Pank!” and illustrated by Edward Tennyson Reed (1860-1933). The name of the game was presumably a rallying call to the followers of Emmeline Pankhurst (1858-1928), the leader of the Suffragettes in their fight for a woman’s right to vote. Among all of the English suffrage card games, the most popular was probably Panko. Manufactured by Peter Gurney of London, it was sold both by the Women’s Social and Political Union at its shops as well as by independent merchants. It was sold just in time for the Christmas season of 1909. (1) £100-150

ALEX JAMES VAUGHAN (1887-1960) Master binder Alex James Vaughan (1887-1960) studied under Douglas Cockerell, Peter and Charles MacLeish, and won a scholarship to the Central School of Arts and Crafts. He went on to teach at Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts, as well as becoming a City & Guilds bookbinding examiner in later years. In retirement, Vaughan continued as a visiting teacher and taught binding apprentices at Hazell, Watson & Viney of Aylesbury. Royal bookbinders Sangorski & Sutcliffe employed Alex Vaughan for a time, and during his period there he designed and made miniature bindings for Queen Mary's dolls house. He executed many other prestigious commissions, including a sumptuous jewelled binding with a peacock design for a wealthy American client. The design still exists but the book is thought to have been lost on the Titanic. Vaughan wrote one of the key texts on his craft, ‘Modern Bookbinding’, published in 1929 and recently reissued. He worked on it during the interruption of his studies during the First World War, making full use of any leisure time whilst serving in Egypt in the Royal Army Flying Corps. The book was, and is, a standard work. Provenance: The collection of Alex James Vaughan and thence by descent to his grandsons.

The recipient of the book was Leonard George Rowntree (1883-1959) was born in Canada, moving to Camden later where he opened a practice in the city’s Cramer Hill section. He left Camden in 1907 to study medical research with Professor John Jacob Abel at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. In 1912, John J. Abel, Leonard Rowntree and colleague Benjamin Turner built the first functioning dialysis machine, and created the first artificial kidney in 1914. During World War Two, when this book was signed, Rowntree was serving as chief of the Medical Service of the Selective Service System. The connection with Einstein is most likely through their shared interest in dialysis. In 1855 the German physiologist Adolf Fick had published a quantitative description of the diffusion process, and through their observations Fick and Thomas Graham discovered the underlying principles of dialysis. It was only in 1905 that Albert Einstein was able to turn these theories into practice, defining diffusion laws thermodynamically as related to molecular motion. The concept of Brownian movement is discussed in this book on pages 63-67. The Albert Einstein Archives hold the autograph draft of a letter written by Einstein to Wilbur Swingle in 1940, in which Rowntree is mentioned: ‘Durch Herrn Dr. Rowntree habe ich erfahren, dass...’. Provenance: Given to the owner’s father in the early 1960s while working as a doctor and living in Miami, Florida. Rowntree retired to Florida, where he helped found the University of Miami School of Medicine. (1) £1500-2000

Motoring, Cycling, Maritime & Railway History Motoring Collectables, Literature, Bicycles & Models IN ASSOCIATION WITH TRANSPORT COLLECTOR AUCTIONS

17 MAY 2018

A Linley & Biggs sprung-frame ‘Whippet’ solid tyred bicycle, circa 1888. Estimate: £22,000-27,000 Manufactured by the London company of Linley & Biggs in an effort to supply a more comfortable ride, this model was soon made redundant by the introduction of the pneumatic tyre. With a retail price of £22 (about £1500 today) they were expensive, and it is believed less than 500 were produced. Due to their unique and picturesque design, most examples are held by museums; to find an example still in private hands is extremely rare.

The amount is calculated as follows: Royalty For the Portion of the Hammer Price (in Euros) 4.00% up to 50,000 3.00% between 50,000.01 and 200,000 1.00% between 200,000.01 and 350,000 0.50% between 350,000.01 and 500,000 Invoices will, as usual, be issued in Pounds Sterling. For the purposes of calculating the resale royalty the Pounds Sterling/Euro rate of exchange will be the European Central Bank reference rate on the day of the sale.

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. 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. 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 20% of the hammer price. Where the lot is marked by an asterisk the premium will be subject to VAT at 20% 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 20% and assents to the Auctioneer receiving the said commission. 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. 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. 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.

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. 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. 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 theAuctioneer for inclusion in his auction sales each seller acknowledges that he/she accepts and agrees to all the conditions. 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 lower estimate, 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. 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. 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.
