176* After Aqa Mirak (active 1520-1576). The Physicians’ Duel (from the Makhzan al-Asrar section of the Khamsa of Nizami), circa 1575-1600, opaque watercolour, gold and ink on paper, with nasta’liq calligraphy in single compartment to upper right of the miniature, image size 315 198 mm (12.4 x 7.75 inches), within an illuminated ruled frame and outer border decorated in gold with pastoral scenes of animals and plants, sheet size 406 x 291 mm (16 x 11.45 inches), some flaking and loss, mainly to the upper sky, the areas of trees and below the prostrate figure, archival mount, modern museum-quality frame, conservation glass In this story from the Makhzan al-Asrar (Treasury of Mysteries), two rival court physicians take part in a medicinal duel. One offers his opponent a poison pill which is taken but rendered harmless with an antidote. Then the other picks a rose, and with his rival looking on anxiously, breathes a spell onto it and hands it to him to smell. The latter falls dead to the ground, thus symbolizing the greater power of fear. The present work is a copy of the painting contributed by Aqa Mirak to the famous Khamsa of Nizami commissioned by Shah Tahmasp at Tabriz between 1539 and 1543 (British Library , inventory number OR. 2265, verso of folio 15). The details of the composition are nearly identical , with the exception of several small details and some variations in colour, as well as the script, which in the earlier version is placed in two rectangular frames to upper right and two further framed rectangles at the bottom of the scene (the latter not present in this later version). The miniature in the earlier Tahmasp Khamsa measures 292 x 196 mm. This fine Mughal miniature of the late 16th century bears some comparison to another important manuscript Khamsa of Nizami also in the British Library (inventory number OR. 12208), which was created for the Mughal Emperor Akbar in the 1590’s by various artists and a single scribe, most likely in Lahore, the Emperor’s new capital. This British Library manuscript Khamsa consists of 325 folios, of “light brown polished paper”, containing 37 single-page miniatures and one double-page miniature, and was bequeathed to the library by the collector C.H. Dyson Perrins (who had purchased it in 1909) on his death in 1958. A further 39 leaves from this manuscript, containing four miniatures, including one double-page, are held at the Walters Art Museum, Baltimore (MS W.613). This masterpiece has been described as “one of the finest examples of the Indo-Muslim arts of the book” and “one of the most perfect of the de luxe type of manuscripts made for Akbar”. Provenance: Reverend Edward James Clifton of Hawick, Roxburghshire in the Scottish Borders, Army Chaplain in Persia during the First World War with the Mesopotamian and North-Western Persia Expeditionary Forces, and author of Bible illustrations from Persia of to-day, Marshall Brothers [1914]; Sale, Mainstreet Trading auction, Saint Boswells, Melrose, March 4, circa 1995, where purchased by the current owner.

The brothers began experimenting with colour photography during the 1890s, and in 1895 introduced and patented a subtractive colour process which used sheets of paper coated with bichromated gelatin glue and small amounts of silver bromide. By 1907 they had begun commercial production of their colour plates using the autochrome process and the stereo slide here probably dates before then.

The early, and previously unknown, cricket photograph in this album probably dates from circa 1862, some five years after the earliest photograph of a cricket match so far identified: a cricket match between the Royal Artillery and the Hunsdonbury Cricket Club at the Honourable Artillery Ground in Islington, London, 25 July 1857. That photograph was taken by Roger Fenton, founding member of the Royal Photographic Society and famous for his photographs of the Crimean War. Victor Albert Prout (1835-1877), a celebrated photographer and artist worked both in London and Australia. He was the first person to photograph the interior of Westminster Abbey (1860) and was photographing along the River Thames from 1857 onwards. Prout had been commissioned to illustrated Mr and Mrs S.G. Hall's The Book of the Thames: From its Rise to its Fall (1859) but for unknown reasons the book was published a year early using wood engravings and without Prout's photographs. The first edition of Prout's The Thames from London to Oxford in Forty Photographs was printed in two series in 1862 by Virtue & Co. The photographs in this rare work (which saw a second edition with thirty-six photographs) features panoramic photographs, each measuring circa 12 x 27cm. The three photographs in this album are not panoramic (unless cropped) and do not feature in his published work. Prout's boat, however, does feature in a number of photographs and the two unsigned photographs must also be by Prout. For further information see Joan Osmond, Victor Albert Prout: A Mid-Victorian Photographer (1835-1877), published J. & J. Osmond, 2013. However, the cricket photograph here is unknown to the author.

370 Owen, Hugh FSA (1808-1897). An album of 79 albumen prints, circa 1870s, from waxed and unwaxed paper negatives, circa 1851-54, beginning with a photograph of a marble statue of Eve [exhibit at the Great Exhibition, 1851] with initials H.O. in the negative lower right, the remainder a selection of views including Bristol street views, churches and other buildings and interiors, plus rural photographs featuring studies of trees, vegetation, cornfields with stooks, farm buildings and ruins, still lifes, oyster boats and two of a derailed train, photographed largely in the South West, mostly in Bristol and Leigh Woods, plus some in South Wales including the Gower, but including at least one photographed in Portugal, mounted to album leaf rectos only with occasional pencil captions in a later unidentified hand [?Canon Cole], numbered in pencil (1-78 plus 12a) by Reece Winstone, tonal ranges mostly very good to excellent, all 222 x 172mm (or very similar) and the reverse, binding now missing but with one marbled endpaper plus front and rear flyleaves present (detached), 4to (283 x 252mm) An important and historic photograph album recording a large body of work of this revered early Bristol photographer, most of the photographs not known or published. Best-known for his Bristol views this fine collection features a wider variety of subjects and provides great insight into Owen’s photographic skills and to his aesthetic ideas about photography as art. His careful compositions find shapes, patterns, lines, reflections and textures in woodlands, vegetation, crumbling buildings, rocks and water. Owen was the first person to successfully photograph a cornfield (the early emulsions rendered yellow as black) and the album includes three photographs of a cornfield. In these photographs as with the derailed train photographs, the photographs of oyster boats, the still lifes whether composed or found, there is a desire not to just document but to make a beautiful photograph. All the photographs were taken before 1855 to be made into calotypes, but these prints were not made until circa 1870s and using the albumen process which Owen experimented with but never took to. By this time Owen had long since given up photography and whether Owen supervised or was involved in the printing and compilation of this album remains unknown. Whoever did compile the album had access to Owen’s original paper negatives and knew what they were doing but the seeming lack of ordering of the photographs (the first 33 are portrait shapes, the remainder landscape shapes) and the fact that one study of ivy is bound upside down suggests that Owen was not directly involved in putting the album together. Hugh Owen, who worked as chief cashier for Brunel’s Great Western Railway, was making daguerreotypes before 1845. From around 1846, following correspondence with Fox Talbot, he started using Talbot's calotype process to make paper negatives. He quickly became a master of the process and in 1847 was singled out for special praise by the Athenaeum during an exhibition of photographs by members of the Calotype Club (also known as the Photographic Club) in London. The commissioners for the Great Exhibition of 1851, at which Owen exhibited his calotypes, were impressed enough to invite him to make photographs of some of the displays. Of the 154 photographs used in the resulting monumental four-volume Reports by the Juries, 32 were made from calotype negatives by Hugh Owen, the remaining 132 albumen prints from photographs by Claude-Marie Ferrier of France. In January 1853 Owen became a founding council member of the Photographic Society (later the Royal Photographic Society); other founding members included Roger Fenton (honorary secretary) and John Dillwyn Llewelyn. In the same year Joseph Cundall published two volumes of Owen’s Photographic Pictures. In spite of some experiments with the albumen print process Owen continued to favour the paper negative process, arguing for its convenience and superiority in its delineation of nature. Following an exhibition in 1855, featuring his views from Portugal, his interest in photography seems to have waned as he gave up the fight against the increasing dominance of albumen prints using wet collodion on glass. By the time of his death in 1897 this formerly prolific and highly regarded photographer seems to have been all but forgotten by the photographic fraternity. Provenance: The family of Reece Winstone, by direct descent. Reece Winstone FRPS, a Bristol photographer and photographic historian, was a champion of Hugh Owen and his short photographically illustrated essay on Owen in his book, Bristol’s Earliest Photographs (1970), remains one of the best sources of information on the enigmatic and elusive photographer. (See also Roger Taylor & Larry J. Schaaf, Impressed by Light: British Photographs from Paper Negatives, 1840-1860, 2007; James Belsey, A Small Light in the Far West: Victorian Photographers in Bristol, 1996). In the essay Winstone describes how this album came into his possession in 1962 by way of Mr. W.L. Venn ‘who had served as a handy-man to the well-known cleric-archaeologist, Canon R.T. Cole [1874-1948], of Christ Church (who gave the Georgian House to the city). Mr. Venn purchased the album at an auction sale of Canon Cole’s effects, looked after it, and then was kind enough to pass it on to the author. Many of the photographs are of woodland subjects, others duplicate subjects already in the author’s collection, but a good number were new to him, and others confirmed that Owen had indeed taken some of hitherto doubtful origin … Canon Cole’s album is a veritable Rosetta Stone of local history’. Further information and a full and detailed listing of all the photographs is available from the auctioneers. (1)

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.
