Fergusson 842. Not in Abbey, Travel. The first printed book of views engraved in Australia, in original publisher’s boards, containing views of Sydney, Newcastle, and the Hawkesbury River, an Aboriginal corroboree, kangaroos and black swans. This justly famous work by Major James Wallis, Commander of the Convict Settlement at Newcastle (a place described by Lieutenant Purcell as ‘the Hell of New South Wales’), required the participation of several convicts under his command, notably Walter Preston and Joseph Lycett, to produce a series of remarkable views of the colony. Preston and Lycett were both pardoned by Governor Macquarie on the recommendation of James Wallis, mainly because of their work on this publication. Wallis left Australia in 1819, taking the original copper plates to London where they were published by Ackermann, together with an introductory history of the colony, and a plan of Port Macquarie by the surveyor John Oxley. This copy includes the publisher’s preliminary leaf containing extracts from the Sydney Gazette in praise of Wallis’ success as commander of the Newcastle settlement. James Wallis retired from the Army in 1826, and lived in Douglas, Isle of Man, and later in Prestbury near Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. (1) £7000-10000

Lot 45 The sculptor and poet Thomas Woolner was a prominent member of the PreRaphaelite Brotherhood, and contributed poetry to its first journal, The Germ, in 1850. He was also the subject of the famous Pre-Raphaelite painting by Ford Madox Brown entitled The Last of England (1855). He sailed to Australia in 1852, to seek his fortune in the Gold Rush, though without success. Through his friendship with Dr. Godfrey Howitt of Melbourne, Woolner instead obtained commissions for a number of medallion portraits, and was subsequently able to secure further commissions from Sir Charles Nicholson in Sydney. At least five medallions were commissioned by Nicholson: Sir Charles Nicholson himself, the University donor Thomas Barker, Sir James Martin, Chief Justice and Member of the University Senate, William Charles Wentworth and Sir Charles Augustus Fitzroy, Governor of the Colony. Woolner’s portraits in bronze represent one of the earliest forms of PreRaphaelite sculpture, and the attention to physiognomy and phrenological character evident in this work attest to the Pre-Raphaelite concern for a scientific ‘truth to nature’.

The statesman, physician and man of business Sir Charles Nicholson (18081903) was the first Vice-Chancellor and second Chancellor of the University of Sydney, a position he obtained in 1854. He was speaker of the first legislative council of New South Wales three times between 1843 and 1856. He was also a man of letters, and together with William Charles Wentworth, helped to establish the University of Sydney. The Nicholson Museum in the University of Sydney, to which he donated his own collection, was named after him, and he has been described as Australia’s first great collector and patron of the arts and sciences.

Provenance: sold at Christies, 30 November 2006, sale 7284, lot 626. George IV’s coronation was notable for its pomp and extravagance. Coming so soon after the defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo in 1815, the King was determined that his power should be further reinforced by a coronation to surpass the lavish ceremony held for the former emperor in 1804. The result was the most expensive coronation ever held in Britain (costing over £9.5 million in today’s money). The costumes worn by the participants in the procession from Westminster Hall to the Abbey were one of the most notable aspects of the coronation. King George, with his personal interest in costume, assisted with the design of some of the outfits, which were loosely based on the clothing of the Elizabethan and Stuart periods. John Fane, 10th Earl of Westmorland (1759-1841), was a British Tory politician who served in most of the cabinets of the period, primarily as Lord Privy Seal, a position which he held for thirtyfive years from 1798 (except for the years 1806 and 1807). He is shown wearing his coronation robes, alongside three other peers, in an aquatint in Nayler’s ‘History of the Coronation 1821’, published in 1824. (1) £8000-12000

SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL & GENERAL SIR HASTINGS LIONEL ‘PUG’ ISMAYFROM A PRIVATE COLLECTION Hastings Lionel Ismay, first and last Baron Ismay, first Secretary-General of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) 1952-57, was born 21 June 1887 in Naini Tal, India. He was the son of Sir Stanley Ismay, a member of the Viceroy's Legislative Council and later Chief Justice of the Court in Mysore in India. In 1921 he married Laura Kathleen Clegg, with whom he had three daughters. In 1947 he was made a Baron, taking the title Baron Ismay, of Wormington, Gloucester and his wife received the title Baroness Ismay. Throughout his life Ismay was known as Pug because of his heavy, bulldog jaw. During his distinguished military career and especially during World War II his nickname was often used to disguise his identity. Following education at Charterhouse, and the Royal Military College Sandhurst he was first commissioned in the Gloucestershire Regiment in 1905. Much of his military time thereafter and before World War II was spent in India, but with much time spent as bon viveur and playing polo, tennis and bridge. From 1933 he was back in London serving in the War Office and later was involved in the planning for possible British war involvement. When Winston Churchill became Prime Minister and Minister of Defence in May 1940 he selected Ismay as his chief staff officer. Throughout the Second World War, Ismay was responsible for dealing with Churchill's draft orders and minutes, the repository of his most secret matters, and had to be ready to depart on important missions abroad, including almost all of the wartime conferences. Ismay retired from the Army in 1946, but when Lord Louis Mountbatten was appointed Viceroy of India he insisted on having Ismay as his Chief of Staff. From 1948 to 1951 Ismay worked with Mountbatten but never had the same attachment to Mountbatten that he had with Churchill and did not sympathise with the policy of partition. When Churchill again became Prime Minister in 1951, he appointed Ismay as Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations. The same year he was appointed to the Privy Council. Even though Ismay was responsible for Commonwealth relations, Churchill continued to seek his advice on defence matters. Ismay resigned after six months having been selected to be the first Secretary-General of NATO. He served in this role with great vision, hard work and determination to influence world public opinion. After his retirement from NATO in May 1957, Queen Elizabeth II invested Ismay as King of the Garter, Britain's highest order. He was finally able to publish his own memoirs in 1960, having earlier assisted Churchill with writing his six volumes, 'The Second World War'. As such these Churchill items are some of the most poignant and important association copies to have ever come to auction. For Ismay's advice and aid, Churchill ‘admitted that he owed more to Ismay than to anybody else, military or civilian, in the whole of the war’: John Colville, ‘Winston Churchill and His Inner Circle’ (1981). Provenance: The following books are the property of Lord Ismay's granddaughter and have remained, until now, in the library at Lord Ismay's home at Wormington Grange, near Broadway, Worcestershire, since his death in 1965.

ink doodle of a pug dog by Churchill beneath. As chief military advisor to Churchill during World War II, Ismay is referred to frequently in all volumes of the text, and noted in the acknowledgements at the start of the first volume: ‘Lord Ismay has also given me his invaluable aid, and with my other friends will continue to do so in the future’. Lord Ismay began his distinguished military career in India, both before and after the first world war. At the outbreak of the second world war, he was appointed Deputy Secretary to the British War Cabinet, becoming Chief of Staff to Churchill. He took part in all three of the major conferences in Moscow, Tehran and Yalta. A prize association copy of this important work. (6) £10000-15000

Referring to Churchill’s wartime speeches, Ismay writes: ‘It is extraordinary that Churchill could find the time in those days of turmoil for the preparation of these masterpieces. They were dictated without the aid of a note; they came straight from the heart. Some three months later [1940] I was walking with him in the garden at Chequers, after dinner. London was under bombardment, and we could see the glow of the fires from afar. Churchill was sad at all the suffering and said that he wished that he could do more “for the poor people”. I reminded him that whatever the future held, nothing could rob him of the credit of having inspired the country by his speeches. “Not at all,” he retorted, almost angrily. “It was given to me to express what was in the hearts of the British people. If I had said anything else, they would have hurled me from office.” (Footnote: Churchill put the same thought into other words on his eightieth birthday. “It was the nation and the race living all around the globe that had the lion’s heart. I had the luck to be called on to give the roar.”). I had never attributed to him the quality of humility, and it struck me as odd that he failed to realise that the upsurge of the national spirit was largely his own creation. The great qualities of the British race had seemed almost dormant until he had aroused them. The people then saw themselves as he portrayed them. They put their trust in him. They were ready to do anything that he asked, make any sacrifice that he demanded, and follow wherever he led.’ (‘Memoirs’, p. 155). (9) £3000-5000

chance of active service in any part of the globe, and that in the meantime I must do my best to educate myself, particularly in the use of the English language. I began to read voraciously, my favourites being Gibbon’s ‘Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire’, Henderson’s ‘Stonewall Jackson’, Kipling of all kinds, and Winston Churchill’s ‘River War’. I got so attached to them that I read them again and again, and soon knew long passages by heart. There came a day, over thirty years later, when I thought that my memory might come in useful. Churchill and I were alone one evening in 1942, when he started a tirade against the astronomical number of vehicles that were being shipped to the Middle East. “Will the War Office never cease adding to the interminable tail?” he asked. I thought to pour oil on troubled waters by reminding him that in the long-distant past he himself had thought up this striking metaphor: “Victory is the beautiful bright-coloured flower: transport is the stem without which it would never have blossomed” (‘The River War’, p. 162). My intervention passed unheeded.’ (The Memoirs of General the Lord Ismay (Heinemann: 1960), pp. 15-16). (4) £500-800

He had, as a junior cavalry officer, contrived to see a remarkable amount of active service ... I felt that, on the whole, I could not do better than try to emulate the example of his early years.

Limitation page with additional signed presentation inscription from the author: ‘To Pug Ismay who typifies all that is best in the fighting forces of a democracy. With admiration and lasting regard from his comrade of World War II and devoted friend Ike Eisenhower’. Eisenhower makes warm reference to Ismay within the text of his book on p. 446: ‘Another Briton, with whom I still had occasional conferences and who had been a stalwart support in the most trying days of war, was General Sir Hastings Ismay. One of the prominent military figures in Great Britain, he was the immediate associate of Mr Churchill in the latter’s capacity as Defense Minister. Ismay’s position as head of the secretarial staff to the War Cabinet and the British Chiefs of Staff was, from the American point of view, a critical one because it was through him that any subject could at any moment be brought to the attention of the Prime Minister and his principal assistants. It was fortunate, therefore, that he was devoted to the principle of Allied unity and that his personality was such as to win the confidence and friendship of his American associates. He was one of those men whose great ability condemned him throughout the war to a staff position. Consequently his name may be forgotten; but the contributions he made to the winning of the war were equal to those of many whose names became household words.’ A splendid association item.

the Second World War. In this two-volume work Ismay is referred to often and in glowing terms: ‘And so I walked out, marvelling, as I was never to cease doing throughout the war, at the amazing self-control, balance, good temper, grasp and poise of this man who undoubtedly turned out to be one of the most remarkable figures of the war. He was lovable too, and universally popular. It was impossible not to like him. There aren’t many men I can say I love, but I grew to love Pug Ismay for qualities of mind, heart and character seldom met within the same individual. Big, burly, active, square-headed, this former Indian Cavalry officer’s movement suggested that he was a good hardhitting polo player, as indeed he had been. His expression explained his nickname “Pug”. It was a natural. One could not have thought of another name for him. His rather prominent eyes had the quality which makes men love dogs, for in them you read complete incapacity for anything but unfaltering trust in his friends, unwavering loyalty, complete shadowless, unswerving rectitude. Some dogs smile with a broad disarming grin. So did Pug’, volume 1, pp. 160-161. (2) £200-300

All the Marines’ rifles are in good condition. A proportion of the Seamen’s rifles are rather worn. It will not be possible for us to have onboard ships of the main fleets in Home Waters two patterns of rifles requiring different kinds of ammunition. It is therefore necessary for you to replace in these ships not only the 12,000 Marines’ rifles, but the 8,000 Seamen’s rifles, with the Japanese weapon; and these will be handed over to you within four weeks of the delivery to us of the 20,000 Japanese rifles. With regard to ships abroad, a further statement will be made as soon as possible; and we are quite prepared as soon as it can be arranged, to replace all Admiralty rifles now afloat by Japanese weapons, if you desire it’, folded letterhead bifolium with text to first and third pages, versos blank, saluation, sentiment and signature in Churchill’s holograph in black ink, pinholes to upper left margin, pencil notes in an unidentified clerical hand to lower left margins of first page, some light dust-soiling and light crease marks to upper right corners, 4to At this time, Churchill was First Lord of the Admiralty and Kitchener was the Secretary of State for War. Theirs was a frosty relationship, though Kitchener was eventually persuaded to support Winston Churchill’s disastrous Gallipoli Campaign in 1915-16. Churchill lost his post at the Admiralty on 27 May 1915 over the Campaign, while Kitchener died in 1916, his ship HMS Hampshire striking a mine off the Orkney Islands. The British Authorities ordered over 150,000 Japanese guns shortly after World War One began in August 1914, a mixed batch of 30th and 38th Year type rifles. Most of these rifles were used by training battalions but T. E. Lawrence suggests that at least a few reached the Middle East and were likely ‘part of a 20,000-gun consignment of Arisaka rifles issued to the Royal Navy from June 15 1915 to free LeeEnfields for land service. Japanese rifles also served the Royal Flying Corps. and its 1918-vintage successor, the Royal Air Force. The Arisakas were soon recalled, the Navy guns being replaced by Canadian Ross-rifles in April-June 1917. About 128,000 assorted Japanese guns were subsequently sent from Britain to Russia, and the patterns were declared obsolete in British service in 1921’ (John Walter, Rifles of the World, 3rd ed., 2006, p.33).

Born in Vienna in 1882, Ornstein worked during the inter-war years for OLEX, an Austrian company that was gradually taken over by British Petroleum during the years 1928 to 1932. He converted to Christianity when he married but, knowing that to the Nazis he would still be Jewish he left Germany for Paris in 1933 and enlisted in the French army in 1939. He was serving in Algeria when France surrendered. His background in the petroleum industry made him too valuable to be treated by the Vichy authorities as mere slave labour (the fate of many anti-Nazi refugees in North Africa), and he was given the job of running two small refineries producing oil and petrol from olives, cotton seed and even grape seeds. His position remained precarious and when Rommel seemed on the verge of victory he made plans to flee with his family to Chad. However, the Allied success at Alamein and the landings in North Africa produced a dramatic change in his fortunes. He continued for a time to run the refineries, and it may have been during this period that he met de Gaulle. Later, as a logisitics officer concerned with fuel and oil supplies, the war took him through Tunisia, Sicily and Italy to the Austrian Tyrol. It seems that during much of this time, although in British uniform, he was with the Free French Forces, and may possibly have been known to de Gaulle while serving at the headquarters of General de Lattre de Tassigny.

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.
