Srirangapatna was the scene of the last and decisive battle fought between Tipu Sultan and a combined force of 50,000 men provided equally by the Nizam of Hyderabad and the East India Company under the overall command of General George Harris. This battle was the last engagement of the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War. The Battle of Seringapatam, 1799, was truly momentous in its historic effects. At the battle’s climax, Tipu Sultan was killed within the fort of Seringapatam, betrayed by one of his own confidants; the spot where he ultimately fell is marked by a memorial.

Much of the site of the Battle is still intact including the ramparts, the Water Gate, the place where the Tipu Sultan’s body was found, the area where the British prisoners were held and the site of the destroyed palace. £200-300 (1)

Appendix leaves at front and rear somewhat frayed and with a little loss, minor soiling and some edge fraying, single butterfly clip to upper left corner, 4to Victor Emile Marsden (1866-1920) was a journalist and translator, known for translating what became the most read English language version of ‘The Protocols of the Elders of Zion’. This, apparently unpublished work, was written by Marsden while acting as correspondent in Russia for the Morning Post. The work which was originally titled ‘Revolution in Russia’ has several of Marsden’s name and address ink stamps and is signed by him at the end. The author’s note ‘to come after Commander O. Locker-Lampson’s preface’ begins: ‘Petrograd is not Russia and the Russian Revolution is still to come. In offering this sketch of the Petrograd revolt to the reading public of the English-speaking world I would beg strongly to emphasise this cardinal fact of the situation which has arisen in Russia. What the end of that situation will be no man can say. But to my mind there is not a vestige of doubt that the Petrograd revolt was in its inception an act of war by Germany, to be compared to similar but aborted movements attempted by the common foe of humanity elsewhere in the world... ‘.

392 The Olaf Chedzoy Collection of Ready Reckoners and Mathematical Books. A collection of over 260 items, dating from 1757 to 1971, including ready reckoners, tables, logarithms, works on algebra, arithmetic, commercial arithmetic, calculus, and geometry; school books and other works for children, as well, works and tables connected with agriculture, commerce, engineering, trades and industry. The collection emphasises the social side of mathematics and how it was used by people in different walks of life. One theme which recurs is the proposal to use the decimal system for coinage and measurement. The genesis of this collection was the realisation that with the ubiquity of pocket calculators there would little need for printed ready reckoners, and they would cease to be produced in any significant numbers Olaf Chedzoy is a distinguished statistician who was a lecturer at Bath University. In 1952, he started his career at Ferranti, becoming one of the original programmers of the Ferranti ‘Mark I’, arguably the first general purpose electronic digital computer. Alan Turing who was in the Mathematics Department at Manchester University contributed to the software of the ‘Mark 1’ computers. The books include: ANON. The Hay & Cattle Measurer. Glasgow, 1860.

A collection of four finely drawn watercolours by one of the most popular British book illustrators of the Victorian era. Kate Greenaway studied art at the Islington School, Heatherley’s and at the Slade under Legros, and began to exhibit at the RA in 1877. In the same year she began to work for Edmund Evans, the printer and publisher, who recognised her talent for capturing a world of child-like innocence and Regency charm. She admired the work of Stothard and was a contemporary of Randolph Caldecott, whom she became friendly with, and Walter Crane. Ruskin liked her work, but although he was often lavish with his praise, his criticism could be harsh. Ruskin encouraged Kate to do nature studies in watercolour, as well as larger-scale watercolours, but her attempts to follow his advice were less than successful, and her forte remained her meticulous small-scale watercolours of whimsical children playing in an idyllic countryside, with their delicate colouring and enchanting evocation of the rural life of earlier times. £700-1000 (2)

658* Nielsen (Kay Rasmus, 1886-1957). ‘The Nightingale and when I go back, I hear the nightingale, sing - ‘, 1923, watercolour on artist’s board, with traces of pencil, showing a Chinese maiden standing entranced at the foot of a willow tree beside a river, listening to the song of a nightingale, within a decorative foliate border in pencil, signed and dated in pencil to lower right border, board size 37 x 27cm (14.5 x 10.75ins), mounted, together with backboard from original frame bearing large manuscript title label in Nielsen’s hand (rubbed but entirely legible), and other labels denoting provenance, including Leicester Gallery and Gillian Jason Gallery labels
Provenance: Purchased by Lady Headley from the Leicester Galleries, London, in 1924 (Exhibition of Kay Nielsen Drawings, February-March 1924, No.5); in the possession of Beryl Fiona Roberts in 1977; purchased by Benny Lee from the Gillian Jason Gallery, London, in 1987; from thence by descent to his niece, the current vendor. Danish artist Kay Nielsen is one of the greatest illustrators of the golden age of book design and illustration in the first half of the twentieth century. Nielsen produced this original watercolour as an illustration for ‘The Nightingale’, one of the stories in an edition of “Fairy Tales” by Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875), published by Hodder & Stoughton in 1924. The delicate and luminous qualities of his best work is arguably nowhere better seen than in this exquisitely drawn picture. ‘Nattergalen’, first published in 1843, tells of the Emperor of China’s preference for the tinkling of a bejewelled mechanical bird over the song of a real nightingale, which flies away and is banished from the land. When the Emperor is near death, the nightingale returns, and his song restores the Emperor to health. Well received upon its publication, the tale is believed to have been inspired by the author’s unrequited love for opera singer Johanna Maria Lind (1820-1887), better known as Jenny Lind, and in turn was the inspiration for her nickname, the ‘Swedish Nightingale’. The story has been adapted for opera, ballet, musicals, television dramas and films. Barbara Janet Ainsleigh Baynton, Lady Headley (1857-1929) was an Australian writer, most noted for her short stories ‘Bush Studies’. She married three times and her second husband left his entire estate to her, enabling her to invest in the stock and art market, buy and sell antiques, and collect black opals. During World War I Mrs. Baynton was living in England and in 1921 she married her third husband Rowland George Allanson Allanson-Winn, 5th Baron Headley (18551935). Baron Headley, an Irish peer and prominent convert to Islam, was also known as Shaikh Rahmatullah al-Farooq. He was one of the leading members of the Woking Muslim Mission, and presided for a time over the British Muslim Society. In 1921 he married Barbara Baynton, becoming bankrupt the following year. He was offered the throne of Albania in 1925, along with $500,000 and $50,000 per year, an offer he refused, upon which Lady Headley returned to Melbourne, where she died in 1929. Benny Lee was a prominent film lighting engineer who worked with, amongst others, director, producer and screenwriter Sir Alan Parker, whose credits include ‘Bugsy Malone’, ‘Evita’ and ‘Fame’. In 1961 he established Lee Electric (Lighting) Ltd with his brother John Lee. In 1987 Lee International PLC, as it had become, announced that it had made an offer of $100 million for Panavision, the Hollywood manufacturer and rental company for motion picture cameras and lenses. A highly desirable piece by Kay Nielsen, with a fascinating provenance which begins with the work’s first owner the year following its creation. (1) £30000-50000 128

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 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. 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 the Auctioneer 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 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. 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.
