113 Blome (Richard). Britannia: or a Geographical Description of the Kingdoms of England, Scotland and Ireland with the Isles and Territories thereto belonging..., Illustrated with a map of each county of England besides several general ones. The like never before published, printed Tho. Roycroft for the Undertaker, Richard Blome, 1673, title page printed in red & black, dedication to Charles II, preface and five pages of tables and twenty-four pages displaying 808 heraldic shields, folding engraved map of the British Isles, forty-four double page engraved county maps, a plan of London and five folding maps of North Wales, South Wales, Scotland, Ireland and British Islands (complete as list), title page and dedication detached, upper hinge cracked, near contemporary calf gilt with later morocco gilt label to spine, worn and rubbed, folio Chubb XCIX, Skelton 90. William Nicholson, the Bishop of Carlise condemned Blome’s Britannia ‘as a most entire theft out of Camden and Speed’. Most cartographers borrowed from the works of earlier atlases this makes Nicholson’s condemnation somewhat harsh and certainly overlooks the fact that Blome’s maps have a charming naivety which has never been replicated. The six folding maps in this atlas are often trimmed and damaged. The examples contained in this example are in surprisinly good condition. (1) £3000-5000

The incorrect matching of these largely South American butterflies with Tasmanian/Australian plants would suggest that these highly skilled, unsigned watercolours were drawn by a contemporary of Edward Donovan, possibly someone in his circle, rather than by Donovan himself.

153 Rothamsted Research Station. A large collection of pamphlets and offprints relating to the work carried out at Rothamstead, Hertfordshire, late 19th century onwards, on a diverse number of subjects including oxen, sheep and pigs, leguminous crops, barley, wheat, rotation of crops, breeds of sheep, drought of 1870, etc., including works by Lawes, Gilbert, Fisher, Brenchley, et al, stapled or stitched as issued in original wraps, 4to/8vo, VG The Rothamstead Experimental Station was founded in 1843 by John Bennet Lawes, a noted Victorian era entrepreneur and scientist who had founded one of the first artificial fertilizer manufacturing factories in 1842, on his sixteenth century estate, Rothamstead Manor, to investigate the impact of inorganic and organic fertilizer on crop yield. Appointing a young chemist, Joseph Henry Gilbert, as his scientific collaborator, Lawes launched the first of a series of long-term field experiments, some of which still continue. Over 57 years, Lawes and Gilbert established the foundations of modern scientific agriculture and the principles of crop nutrition. Many distinguished scientists have been associated with Rothamsted. In 1919 Russell hired Ronald Fisher to investigate the possibility of analysing the vast amount of data accumulated from the “Classical Field Experiments”. Many consider Rothamsted to be the most important birthplace of modern statistical theory and practice. Researchers at Rothamsted have made significant contributions to agricultural science, including the discovery and development of systemic herbicides and pyrethroid insecticides, as well as pioneering contributions to the fields of virology, nematology, soil science and pesticide resistance. In 1842 Lawes patented a manure formed by treating phosphates with sulphuric acid, and thus initiated the artificial manure industry and developed a superphosphate that would mark the beginnings of the chemical fertilizer industry.

Bertram began a correspondence with the 18th century British antiquarian William Stukeley and managed to convince him of the authenticity of the document and the map. The document and map were published in 1757 and although initially accepted as genuine the hoax was eventually exposed by the Northumberland historian John Hodgson as a complete work of fiction. The Stukeley-Bertram map is a rare example of a cartographic forgery of a medieval manuscript map which enjoyed a lengthy run of legitimacy, before being debunked. Scarce. (1) £200-300

For a few seconds his fate seemed certain as the parachute retained the collapsed state in which it had originally ascended and fell rapidly. It suddenly however expanded and the rapidity of the descent was at once checked. But because it opened so quickly the parachute began to oscillate violently. The car, which was suspended 20 feet below the parachute seemed to be falling horizontally at times. Luckily Garnerin landed in a field behind St. Pancras Church but he was unable to speak, blood issued from his ears and nose and he was in a state of agitation..., but the consequences were less serious than might have been anticipated and he was well enough to adress the crowds assembled’.

This Noble Lady was eldest daughter of Charles Brandon Duke of Suffolk and Mary the French queen his Dutchess; She was married to Henry Grey, Marquess of Dorset and Duke of Suffolk &c. the mother of Lady Jane Grey who was proclaimed queen, 1748, uncoloured engraved double portrait after Lucas de Heere, very slight staining largely confined to margins, one short marginal closed tear, 470 x 565mm An unusual engraving in that the legend below the image is not correct. The image shows Lady Dacre (1524-circa 1576) and her son Gregory Fiennes, 10th Baron Dacre (1539 - 1594) and not the Duke and Duchess of Suffolk. The engraving is fine enough to illustrate a significant disparity in ages between the two subjects; enough to raise a question to even a casual observer as to any possiblity of a marital union between the stout middle aged woman and the young man.

Martin (1912-2005), a figure described by E. P. Thompson as ‘not just a social historian but a prophet’. In the earliest dated letter, written during his time in London in 1937 and commencing ‘Dear Comrade’, Anand includes a three-page autobiographical sketch for inclusion in Martin’s In Search of Faith, a popular collection of essays published in 1944, and discusses the progress of his latest novel, evidently The Village (1939). In the later letters, written from Bombay between 1978 and 1996, Anand keeps Martin informed about his literary output and expounds on political subjects, variously predicting that ‘there can be no going back to narrow nationalism, but towards a universal one-world culture with Destination Man as the goal of advance’ (1978), proposing to write a piece about his ‘emergence from Indian existentialism or fatalism into the European kind of torment affected by Eliot, Kirkegarde [sic], Pascal and others’ (1979), and railing against American arms sales to Pakistan and accusations of being a communist propagandist (1995).

336* Irish National Land League Broadside. ‘Our Clergy and Tenant Wrights and Down with Rack Renting Agents and Exterminating Landlords God Save Ireland’, circa 1870, a broadside printed in black stencil, twelve lines in block capitals, centred and decorated with black stencilled sprigs of shamrock, printed on two sheets of adjoined wove paper, some general soiling, a little spotting and slight marginal fraying, two old closed tear repairs to verso, 84 x 60cm A rare, and possibly unique, survival of this political broadside concerning land-holding in Ireland. Rack-renting, i.e. the practice of charging extortionate rent, became very common in Ireland after 1780 due to the population growth. Estates were often poorly managed and the tenants had no incentive to improve their land or houses because then the rent would be raised; or if they could not pay, they would be evicted without compensation for the work they had done. The wording of this particular broadside was published in several newspapers in January 1870, e.g. Glasgow Herald, Tuesday 25 January 1870: ‘The Reign of Terror in Ireland. The Clonmel Chronicle reports that Mr Leopold Cust, J.P., Agent on the Smith-Barry Estate in Tipperary, received on Sunday week, through the post, a threatening letter, of which the following is a copy: “Tipperary, Jan 15, 1870. Cust the —, you’ll be shot if you ever interfere with the Tenant League. We will let you see you cannot bullock Tipperary. The quicker you leave this place the better. Warn all those — that signed the thing against Dr O’Neill they will be shot. A sixounce ball in a thing of this make” [here was a rude representation of a pistol]. The same journal states that a notice in the following terms was posted on Sunday on a wall or gateway in Tipperary: “Our clergy and tenantrights, and down with rack-renting agents and exterminating landlords. God save Ireland”’. Sir Leopold Cust acted as land agent to Arthur Smith-Barry MP, an absentee landlord, who owned half the local town of Tipperary and 28,000 acres. Cust was a magistrate and listed among the gentry but received many threatening letters and insults, and by 1873 he carried a revolver in fear of his life. He died of heart failure, aged 46, in 1878, but local opinion was that this was divine retribution. The Tipperary Free Press, 9 March 1878 reported: ‘On Sunday evening last Sir Leopold Cust died of a combination of diseases, and, strange to say, immediately after his death became known, the Tipperary Brass Band turned out and paraded the streets, playing airs of rejoiceful character. The hills around blazed with bonfires, and there was quite a demonstration of an extraordinary character because of this event. It was understood that the deceased was very unpopular in the capacity of agent to A.H. Smith-Barry, Esq., which was the cause of this demonstration’. (1) £500-800

They embarked for Bengal at Sydney in January 1841, and were initially stationed at Chinsurah and Fort William before a difficult journey to Cawnpore in July 1842. In late 1843 they fought in the Gwalior Campaign. Their time in India was blighted by cholera, which accounts for the overwhelming majority of the 280 or so deaths listed. (1) £200-300

She committed her most notorious militant act for the cause in March 1914, slashing Velazquez’s ‘Rokeby Venus’ in the National Gallery in London. This was the day after Mrs Pankhurst was arrested in St. Andrew’s Hall in Glasgow and Mary Richardson wished to draw attention to “the public’s indifference to Mrs Pankhurst’s slow destruction” and wished to draw a parallel between this and “the destruction of some financially valuable object”. She was sentenced to six months’ imprisonment, went on hunger strike and was forcibly fed. This volume appears to have been with her at this time. (1) £100-150

The poet and writer Ann Yearsley, née Cromartie (1753-1806), was born in Bristol and married John Yearsley, a yeoman, in 1774. She bore six children in only seven years. A decade later the family were rescued from destitution by the charity of Hannah More and others. Hannah More organized subscriptions for Yearsley to publish Poems, on Several Occasions (1785). The success of the volume led to a quarrel between More and Yearsley over access to the trust in which profits from the undertaking were held. Yearsley was later supported by Frederick Hervey, 4th Earl of Bristol, Yearsley published Poems, on Various Subjects in 1787. Yearsley was one of many Bristol women who campaigned against the Bristol slave trade and published A Poem on the Inhumanity of the Slave-Trade in 1788.

The Pembroke Collection was one of the most important art collections in Britain of the 17th century, formed by Thomas Howard, 8th Earl of Pembroke (1656-1733). In 1746 Numismata Pembrochiana was published, consisting solely of over 300 plates. It is attributed to Nicola Haym, author of Il Tesoro Britannico (1719-20), an account of the previously unknown ancient coins in English collections, including that of Pembroke. The Pembroke collection was later offered to the British Museum who declined on grounds of cost. The collection was subsequently broken up at the Sothebys auction sale of 1848, where a number of items were consequently acquired by the British Museum. (4) £150-200

ARTIST'S RESALE RIGHT LAW ("DROIT DE SUITE") Lots marked with AR next to the lot number may be subject to Droit de Suite. Droit de Suite is payable on the hammer price of any artwork sold in the lifetime of the artist, or within 70 years of the artist's death. The buyer agrees to pay Dominic Winter Auctioneers Ltd. an amount equal to the resale royalty and we will pay such amount to the artist's collecting agent. Resale royalty applies where the Hammer price is 1,000 Euros or more and the amount cannot be more than 12,500 Euros per lot. 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.
