Bulwer addresses a foreword to George Stoddart Esq. of Madeira (in French): ‘I send you a series of drawings intended to represent some of the more remarkable spots in your beautiful island... For the drawings themselves, the only merit I can claim is that of faithful representation. In the selection of some of the subjects, I have been guided by the comparative celebrity of the place, rather than by a consideration of its purely picturesque attraction. But the collection will, I hope, be found to include all the scenes most interesting under either point of view’. This work was issued in two forms: ‘on India Paper’ at 4 guineas, or ‘on Plain or Tinted Paper’ at 3 guineas. (1) £1000-1500

The rare first edition: many copies were lost in a fire at the printer’s house in Whitefriars on January 30th 1712. Upcott notes that a similar fate befell copies of the second edition. Sir Robert Atkyns, MP and topographer was somewhat overshadowed by his father, who as chief baron of the exchequer was speaker of the House of Lords between 1689 and 1693. Atkyns refused to take the oath of allegiance to William III and retired to Pinbury Park in Gloucestershire. The first of the three major Gloucestershire antiquaries, the other two being Ralph Bigland (1712-1784) and Samuel Rudder (17261801), Atkyns collected material for parish histories in an attempt to record the population of each parish, based on the number of houses therein and the yearly birth and burial numbers. Pinbury Park, a medieval manor house, was later remodelled and renovated by Ernest Gimson and Ernest and Sidney Barnsley who lived there from 1894-1901. (1) £1500-2000

222 World. Gill (Macdonald), La Carta del Atlantico, published George Philip & Son Ltd in collaboration with the Time and Tide Publishing Company Ltd, circa 1943, decorative colour lithographic map of the world on a Mercator projection with Spanish text, old folds, small tape repairs to verso, slight creasing, occasional marginal repaired closed tears, 820 x 1100mm A scarce Spanish edition of Gill’s ‘Time and Tide’ map. Commissioned by Time and Tide magazine, it never enjoyed a large circulation and is therefore one of the scarcest of Gill’s pictorial maps. The map celebrates the joint declaration released by Churchill and Roosevelt in August 1941 after the Atlantic Conference. The Atlantic Charter was a gesture of solidarity at a moment when Nazi Germany had just turned against the USSR and looked all but invincible. In time the charter would form the basis for Allied war aims and the postwar foundation of the United Nations. Gill takes an optimistic view of the Charter and of the future. He shows a muscled worker taking a sledgehammer to tanks and munitions in the foreground, while in the distance is an idyllic scene of ploughing and reaping. A nod to the book of Isiah and the turning of ‘swords to ploughshares’. The map is adorned with quotes by Cicero, Emerson, Pope and Aristotle on the virtues of peace. Gill is probably best known for his 1913 ‘Wonderground map of London’ and this map is still very much in the decorative and pictorial style that Gill became famous for. I am grateful to the research and blogs conducted and written by Rod Barron and Bryars & Bryars. (1) £2000-3000

"Come along, this way now, are you coming?" from the passage I was taken to a corridor, which is fitted up with little watch-box-likestalls. I was ordered in a very gruff manner to enter one of them; and then a large skip was brought and placed before me, with the order to strip. "Now, take all your clothes off"... I was taken naked on the cold flags, barefoot, and put under a strong light to undergo a rigid examination, and a graphic portrait taken; during the airy performance on the cold flags, and standing up, it becomes rather sensational. He whirled me round, then back again, up and down with a keen eye he skirres me... Next a large rug was thrown over me, there conducted to another apartment and invited to take a bath...', 31 pages written to rectos only, one pen & ink and watercolour illustration of Youdan coat of arms, some browning, contemporary roan-backed boards, heavily rubbed, small 4to, plus six related family documents

295 Westminster Abbey Epitaphs. ‘Epitaphs in Westminster Abbey. With translations of the Latin inscriptions into English’, by Joseph Gibbs, circa 1750, 115 pages [2 index], manuscript on paper, neatly written in brown ink, in Latin and English with a little Hebrew and Greek, contents loose in contemporary marbled wrappers, ‘Joseph Gibbs’ inscribed to upper wrapper verso, a little wear, small 4to (20 x 16cm) An attractive manuscript comprising transcriptions of over 120 epitaphs in Westminster Abbey, with English translations where required, with an emphasis on those of the 17th and 18th centuries, the latest apparently dating from 1748. Included are epitaphs for Samuel Butler, William Cavendish Duke of Newcastle, Geoffrey Chaucer, John Gay, Isaac Newton, and Matthew Prior. The compiler would seem to be the Joseph Gibbs whose name appears inside the upper wrapper; perhaps a relative of the influential architect James Gibbs (1682-1754), who designed several memorials in Westminster Abbey, including those of Dryden, Jonson and Prior. Joseph was evidently well educated, having no difficulty in providing translations from Latin and other languages. Provenance: Christopher Hogwood CBE (1941-2014). (1)

Thomas and John Youdan had three other brothers, one of whom was George who had a daughter called Harriett. For reasons unknown Harriet lived with Thomas and when he died he left his extensive estate to Harriet in 1877. Harriet decided to erect a monument to her uncle and benefactor, employing the inscription: 'Erected by his adopted daughter, Harriette Youdan', and it was this line that led her uncle John to chisel out the words 'adopted daughter'. Thomas Youdan was a theatre proprietor in Sheffield and is best known for sponsoring the Youdan Cup, the first ever competition in the history of association football. (7) £200-300

The first edition of this work was published in Latin in 1616. The physician, alchemist and philosopher Michael Maier (1569-1622), was at one time physician to the Emperor Rudolph II. His works reflected an expansive knowledge of alchemical, magical and philosophical matters. In the present treatise Mercurius, the God of metals, is presented to a court consisting of a goose, bee, bull, silkworm, sheep, oyster and linen, with a “rational man” as supreme judge. All these consider their qualities, to which Mercurius is judged King of the World. Mercurius’ oration contains interesting remarks on the properties of various metals, lead, gold, silver etc., and an allusion to typography and the invention of printing in Germany, and other curiosities.

The World Crisis, 6 volumes, 1st editions, 1923-31, black & white plates and maps including some folding, scattered pencil annotations and marginalia to volume 1 by Sir Frederick Whyte, a few notes shaved, author’s signed presentation inscription to front flyleaf of volume 1, ‘Inscribed for Frederick Whyte by Winston S.

While MP for Perth, Whyte served as parliamentary private secretary (1910-15) to Winston Churchill, who was Home Secretary (1910-11) and then First Lord of the Admiralty (1911-15). Whyte’s letter is dated 24th September 1948 and refers to some notes he was belatedly sending him regarding the events of 29 July to 4 August 1914. Evidently, Whyte has used these notes and memories to annotate the relevant pages of volume 1 where he was personally involved and sent the notes on to Churchill. Whyte’s letter states that these notes ‘might be material for an authentic footnote throwing some light on the awkward predicament of Asquith’s cabinet in the last days of peace in 1914’. Whyte also adds a request that if he were to send the first volume of Churchill’s ‘World Crisis’ to him would he ‘write on the fly-leaf a word or two about those days in which I was “pars minima” to your “maxima”?’. Churchill’s reply, Chartwell, 8 October 1948, thanks Whyte for his note and for sending him copies of the records of ‘our conversations and of events just before the outbreak of the 1914-18 war. It seems to strike some notes in my memory’, and agreeing to inscribe the book for him. (8) £3000-5000

Lot 559 558 Darton, (William, publisher). Lectures At My School, or Play Ground Conversations. By a Friend to Youth, 2nd edition, circa 1818, engraved frontispiece and 58 engraved plates, some with engraved initial ‘W’, lacking G5 (pp.81/2), 3pp. publisher’s advertisements at rear, toned, some staining and fingermarks, mostly to first and final leaves, one or two short edge-tears, lacking free endpapers, original red roan-backed pastepaper-covered boards, some minor wear to extremities, 12mo in 6s Darton H942(2). Provenance: from the library of Lawrence Darton, a descendant of the publisher William Darton, with his book ticket. Both the first and the second editions are rare, and when they do appear, are seldom complete. The later edition has an additional eight engravings not present in the first. However, it is the fifty original fine engravings which are intriguing, and the question of the artist, who has long been unidentified. There is a clear initial ‘W’ on some of the plates, which can also be seen in other Darton publications illustrated in the same style. Recent research by the vendor indicates that ‘W’ may well be William Darton Junior. There is an illustration of a Cooper in this work which in the first edition bears the initial ‘T...’, whilst in the second edition the initial has been obscured. William’s younger brother, Thomas, joined him in business in 1806, and it seems feasible that Thomas engraved his brother’s design for the Cooper plate, adding his own initial as engraver (particularly as, unlike his more reticent father and brother, he was more disposed to promoting himself). By the time the second edition was published, Thomas had left the firm to become an independent engraver, and so it seems quite plausible that William ‘reclaimed’ his design by removing his brother’s initial.

Lot 627
Mary Wheelhouse was both a successful artist and illustrator, and a maker and seller of toys, particularly of wooden dolls. She studied at the Scarborough School of Art in the mid 1890s, during which time she began to exhibit at The Royal Academy, and she went on to attend the Academie Delecture in Paris. By 1899 she was sharing a house with three other artists in London - 3 Pomona Studios, 111 New King’s Road - and exhibiting regularly in London, the provinces and the Paris Salon. A competition win led to commissions as a book illustrator, and particularly to a long working relationship with the publisher George Bell. In 1910 she illustrated an edition of ‘Silas Marner’ for George Bell, and illustrations were commissioned for an edition of ‘The Mill on the Floss’ by publishers Herbert & Daniel in 1913, but the book was never published. In 1915 Wheelhouse teamed up first with fellow artist Louise Jacobs, and then later with sculptor A.B. Ellis, to make a range of wooden toys, and she had a shop, Pomona Toys, at 64 Cheyne Walk in Chelsea from around 1916 until 1927. After this time the shop moved to 14 Holland Street, with a workshop at 28 Gunter Grove, and it continued trading until the outbreak of World War II. The company supplied the likes of Fortnum & Mason, Harrods, and Liberty’s, and its most prestigious commission was the supply of toys to the royal family, including miniature items for Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House, such as a tiny merry-go-round for the Day Nursery (one of the photographs included in this lot shows just such a miniature carousel). ‘Everybody’s Book of the Queen’s Dolls’ House’, published in 1924, makes mention of some of the items supplied: “...and then please, if you were ever a child, squeak with joy over the precious Pomona toys! Amongst these a Sedan chair with lady all complete, a Dutch cradle with child, and a swinging bird...”. (an archive) £300-500

An unrestored copy of Beatrix Potter’s extremely rare first book: one of only 250 copies, and this copy inscribed by Beatrix Potter. The character of Peter Rabbit was based on Beatrix’s own pet rabbit, and he made his first appearance in a letter written in 1893 to Noel, the five-year-old offspring of her former governess, Annie Carter. Noel and his siblings so enjoyed this and subsequent letters that Beatrix thought about having the story published. In 1900 she sent the story to at least six different publishers, all of whom rejected it, including Frederick Warne, who later decided to take the book on. Undeterred, Beatrix decided to have her little book privately printed, and in 1901 250 copies were published priced at 1/6 each, of which this is one. They sold so well that in February 1902 she had a further 200 copies printed with slightly amended text. (1) £8000-12000

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. Please refer to the DACS website www.dacs.org.uk and the Artists’ Collecting Society website www.artistscollectingsociety.org for further details.

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.
