Howes C-241; Sabin 11536; Wagner-Camp 84. Despite the erratic numbering the 177 plates and three maps in our copy appear to be the full complement. There are no plates numbered 1, 2, 23, 137, 149, 246 and 247. Wagner failed to locate a plate numbered 2, concluding that this was represented by the map, and it is likely that number 1 is represented by the frontispiece. Acording to Howes ‘there were no plates 23, 113, 114, 137, 142, 149, 159, 246 or 247, but numbers 101 1/2, 210 1/2 and 3 unnumbered plates were added’. Our copy has all these added plates as well as a single plate containing two images numbered 113-14. The errata leaf contains the disclaimer: ‘Although it may appear to the reader that there are several of the illustrations wanting, yet he will find that all the plates referred to in the text, are in the book, and in their places, as the author designed them, and the work therefore complete’.

Field, Indian Bibliography 1379 (with a later issue of the first volume, dated 1853). Presentation set of Schoolcraft’s monumental and profusely illustrated survey of the Native American tribes, volumes one to five variously inscribed on behalf of the author, the illustrator Seth Eastman, and two Commissioners of Indian Affairs to Buckingham Smith (1810-1870), diplomat, historian of Spanish exploration in Florida and the Americas, and the first surveyor of the Everglades following Florida’s accession to the United States in 1845. Volume one is a first issue, retaining the chromolithographic plates with the imprints of Ackerman, Bowen or Duval, and the unabbreviated title page. An excellent association. In volume three Schoolcraft acknowledges his use of Smith’s transcripts of documents held in the Archivo-General, Mexico City, which Smith made during his posting as secretary of legation (1850-2), and of Smith’s translation of the 16th-century narrative of Alvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca. In fact, Smith privately supported the criticism directed against Schoolcraft by archaeologist E. G. Squier (1821-1888) from 1854, but Schoolcraft nevertheless helped secure Smith’s next posting as secretary of legation in Madrid (1855-8; see Dippie, Catlin and His Contemporaries, p. 254). Inconsistencies in the numbering of the plates have led to records’ also calling for 327 or 332 plates, this last figure counting ‘plates’ 17, 32, 33 and 36 in volume five as individuals, although they appear on two sheets. Provenance: Buckingham Smith (1810-1870; presentation inscriptions); given by Smith to ‘John Cunningham of Sevilla’ in 1864 (gift inscription to volume one); library of Michelina Gorgolini, Rome (ink-stamps); Jay T.

This is one of the earliest and most important English maps, covering the southeastern part of England and dissected by the Thames River, with London prominently located near the top centre of the map. It is odd that Saxton chose to combine four of the most important counties of England into a single map. Kent, with Canterbury being the centre of the Church of England, Surrey and Middlesex bordering the capital, and Sussex with its maritime importance would all have warranted standing alone as individual maps. What persuaded Saxton to amalgamate these four counties into one map is something of a cartographic conundrum. (1) £2000-3000

It was modelled by his five-year-old grandson William Milbourne James, who went on to become an admiral. The painting was acquired by Sir William Ingram of The Illustrated London News, who wished to reproduce it in his newspaper. When it was reproduced and presented in the weekly newspaper as a colour plate, it was seen by Thomas J. Barratt, managing director of A & F Pears. Barratt purchased the original painting from Ingram for £2,200 which gave him exclusive copyright on the picture. Millais’ permission was sought in order to alter the picture by the addition of a bar of Pears Soap, so that it could be used for the purposes of advertising. At the time Millais was one of the most popular artists in Britain and he was initially apprehensive at the prospect of his work and his grandson being the subject of commercial exploitation. However, when he was shown the proofs of the proposed advertisements he grew to appreciate the idea, which portrayed the soap as if the child had used it to make the bubbles. (1) £200-300

HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS & AUTOGRAPHS 219 Churchill (Winston Spencer, 1874-1965). The Second World War, 6 volumes written out in manuscript longhand into 2 large day books and a ledger, by an unidentified hand, circa 1950s, a rightsloping neat hand in mostly blue or black fountain pen inks with occasional red highlights, etc., seemingly an unabridged and full transcription (except some quoted sources typed up on separate loose sheets in a folder), written on both sides of approximately 800 leaves of 3 ledgers/day books, volumes 1 and 2 of the magnum opus written into one day book, volume 3 into a ledger (damp-frayed at lower margins), volumes 4-6 written into a second day book matching the first (with printed columns for rooms, wines, accounts, etc.), this final volume following straight on with full-length transcriptions of 4 other of Churchill’s works in the same hand, ‘My Early Life’, ‘Thoughts and Adventures’, ‘Great Contemporaries’ and ‘Step by Step’, approximately 150 blank leaves at rear of volume 3, contemporary quarter leather, some soiling and wear, volumes 1 & 3 with printed stationer’s labels of Arthur Wrigley, Leeds, at front, large 4to (49 x 41cm), volume 2 folio (47 x 30cm), together with a folder of related typed leaves supplying many of the quoted sources for which coded references are left in the manuscript

218* Australia; penal transportation. Four letters from convict William Henry Kerslake to his family at Tiverton, Devon, written from Chatham Prison and the ship Racehorse (Portland Roads), 1864-5, 4 bifolia of sized light blue paper, each with printed instructions to first leaf recto, Kerslake’s letters in a clerk’s hand to the internal 2 pages (2 signed with Kerslake’s autograph ‘mark’), and manuscript address, Penny Red postage stamp and ink date stamps to second leaf verso, each letter creased where folded for posting, externally rubbed and soiled, seal tears causing partial loss of text in one letter (10 May 1865), another letter (29 July 1864) separated along central fold and with marginal section excised to no loss of text, 4to (23.6 x 18.8cm)

A truly bizarre Churchill archive, this three-volume manuscript raises unanswerable questions of authorship and appropriation. The Second World War alone totals over 1.5 million words and what person would voluntarily, (or otherwise), attempt to rewrite all this verbatim in longhand defies all logic and explanation. The handwriting is not Churchill’s, nor any of his known secretaries, according to the Churchill Archives, Cambridge. Besides which Churchill’s modus operandi for writing was dictation to typists in the first instance, which was then hand corrected by Churchill, retyped and corrected once more. Even with the large team of researchers involved in the preparation of The Second World War there would have been no call for such a manuscript. The inclusion of full transcriptions of four further and earlier works by Churchill adds to the bafflement. The ledgers were acquired around 20 years ago from a large house clearance near York. There are two clues as to who the author may be, both possibly in the same hand as the manuscript itself: The name ‘Philip H. [?]Richings’ appears on the front free endpaper of the second day book, and a threepage manuscript poem (‘An Ode to Sir Barnes [Wallis]’), included with the folder of typed quoted sources, is initialled ‘P.H.R.’ at the end. (3 ledgers & a folder) £500-800

Kerslake (1842-1922), a Devon labourer convicted for ‘carnal knowledge of a girl under ten years’, was one of 279 prisoners transported to Fremantle on the convict ship Racehorse (Convict Records of Australia, online). His letters enquire after his family’s attempts to mitigate his sentence and one describes a gruesome accident ‘which squeezed the top off one of my fingers’. (4) £200-300

Two Autograph Letters Signed (‘Kitchener’), Whitehall Court and Balmoral Castle, 20 August and 7 September [?1911], to [H.C.] Marillier, asking his opinion on the coverings of chairs (for his new home, Broome Park), discussing the possibility of having his arms embroidered on the backs, and suggesting that he might himself source material in Egypt; ‘... There is no hurry for the chair as my house is not yet ready for furniture. In Egypt I might find some old stuff suitable to cover it. ... If I had my arms embroidered in dull colours on the back without much gold what would it cost approximately? I rather like the P of Wales’ chair at Carnarvon would it be very expensive in the untrecht velvet or in stuff I might be able to collect...’; ‘I think I know all I require about the chairs. If I can find some suitable old stuff in Cairo I daresay later I shall ask you to make me a chair and cover it...’, in all 5 pages, 8vo Henry Currie Marillier (1865-1951) was a distinguished writer and expert on tapestries. In 1897 he had purchased Kelmscott House, Hammersmith, William Morris’s old home and he joined the Morris company as managing director. It was presumably the Morris company that would have been responsible for actually making the chair (or chairs). The present letters almost certianly date from 1911, as Kitchener would have been aware from about July onwards that he was to go to Egypt as governor. He arrived there on 29 September. The reverse of one letter is covered in pencilled calculations of the cost of the chair(s) and coverings. (2) £200-300

Lot 234

Princess Louise, the fourth daughter of Queen Victoria, known as the rebellious royal, was a sculptor, painter and campaigner for the rights of women from whom scandal was never far away. Her marriage to the Marquis of Lorne gave her a certain amount of freedom from her mother’s watchful and reproachful eye, most obviously when Lorne was appointed Governor General of Canada and the pair moved away from England. These letters date from after her marriage. Though the Princess’s artistic talents are well known, her musical interests are less so. Even her critical mother acknowledged her expertise in dancing, though little is known of her singing prowess. These letters depict a keen and sensitive singer, eager to join Miss Holland’s choir and to promote their concerts. ‘Many thanks for sending me the copy of ‘Joshua’. I have been looking it over, but of course doing so alone is not of much use. There are only two or three little bits which seem difficult. Your marks I do not all understand, at present, but shall when I am singing with the others, I dare say. ... I shall be dreadfully shy at first, that I must tell you. ...’. Private concerts to support the Princess’s charities were undertaken by Miss Holland’s choir. ‘Mr Sullivan is most tiresome not to have sent in his part of the programme. I will send off to him again for the 4th time. Mr Chappell will have the tickets to sell, & to be got also at 31 Sloane Street & at two of the Gentlemen’s houses belonging to the Work Society. ...’. The collection includes five letters from the Marquess of Lorne to Miss Holland and two letters from Louise’s younger sister Princess Helena (18461923, fifth child of Queen Victoria), indicating that Miss Holland was a close friend of all the family. ‘... May God comfort & support you dear Miss Holland in this your bitter sorrow. Alas, I know too well what it is to lose a loving & tender Father. ...’. (27) £600-800

Scott Fitzgerald (‘It is an American book I think, but published over here also’) for himself and then again for his son David in Malaysia a few weeks later. He was a devotée of Nevil Shute, ordering his complete works, and of Somerset Maugham. His son was treated to Giovanni Guareschi’s Don Camillo series, Daphne du Maurier’s My Cousin Rachel and Nancy Mitford’s The Blessing. Most surprising is an order for Women’s Life and Labour by Ferdynand Zweig (a left-wing political rather than medical treatise). (21) £800-1200

239* Motoring History. An archive of the correspondence of Charles Stewart Rolls (1877-1910, motor car promoter and aviator), with F. Howard Mercer, pioneering motorist and motoring photographer, principally dated 1900, comprising a series of seventeen Autograph Letters Signed (15 pages 8vo, 9 on correspondence cards), a few signed with initials, with four envelopes, all from South Lodge, Rutland Gate, London, November 1899 to October 1901, with two signed receipts, five carbon copy letters and three secretarially-signed letters, a group of five photographs (including three of Rolls driving three different cars, mounted on card, two annotated in pencil on reverse by Mercer; two others of Chauffeur driving ‘An old Panhard / Property of Hon. C.S. Rolls’), and further related material including a facsimile letter from Lord & Lady Llangattock, Rolls’s parents, thanking Mercer for condolences on the death of their son, 23 July 1910 (he died 12 July, the first Briton to be killed in a powered aircraft); two long letters and two cards from C[harles] R[oberts] D’Esterre (c. 1876-1943) an associated of Rolls, discussing problems with his (Peugeot) car; receipt for a £1 8s 6d speeding find incurred by Mercer (‘exceeding 10 mile limit in Richmond Road’), April 1906; long Typewritten Letter Signed with manuscript insertions and corrections to Mercer from C[laude] Johnson, 1½ pages folio, The Automobile Club, 18 April 1900, giving detailed instruction for marshalling Section 2, Classes A, B and C (private owners) at the start of the 1,000 Mile Trial from Grosvenor Place, together with a (blank) ‘Joint Report of Timekeepers’, headed ‘Red Flag Control’, 6 pages, and two further ‘Red Flag’ instruction sheets, one giving directions for stopping vehicles and the other (blank) to be completed by the marshal(s) The correspondence, written before Rolls formed his motor company, C.S. Rolls & Co. in 1903, and before he met Henry Royce (on 4 May 1904), is largely concerned with Mercer’s purchase of a Peugeot car, Rolls being an enthusiast for the French manufacturer, having imported a 3.75-hp Peugeot into England in 1896, becoming one of the first English motorists. The letters show that Rolls was on friendly terms with Mercer, and frequently invited him dinner, he also made much use of him as a photographer, asking for copies of prints, of motor cars and on one occasion of a picture taken at the funeral of Queen Victoria. The purchase of Mercer’s Peugeot was quite long drawn out affair, with frequent references to the preferred ignition system (hot tube or electric) and to other technical matters including the deliberate frangibility of a key component designed to fail in some circumstances ‘when car going astern’), although Rolls appears to have forgotten Mercer’s preferences on the ignition front from time to time. On one occasion he invites Mercer to visit him and adds that ‘an inner tube and oil’ would await him. Also under discussion were the usual matters of the size and type of tyres to be fitted or prepared for, and the inevitable question of the colour. It is also evident that Rolls was acting as agent for the sale of the model, and there are various references to the financial aspect, and receipts signed by Rolls for various sums. Rolls also tells his friend of his own activities, notably his intention to take part in the Paris-Toulouse race ‘on the new Napier’, and invites Mercer and a friend to view his stables (horses still being an important part of his life, as was yachting, which also gets a mention). The 1,000 Mile Trial lasted from 23 to 12 May, starting and finishing in London and taking in Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester, Derby, Kendal, Carlisle, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Leeds, Sheffield, and Nottingham en route. There were speed tests and hill-climbs included in the competition. Sixty-five competitors started the race, of whom 35 returned to London. Overall the most successful entrant was C.S. Rolls in his 12-hp Panhard (he also entered a Daimler driven by J.A. Hodder). The Panhard was awarded the gold medal for the best car in any class. (a folder) £4000-6000

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. 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.
