National Maritime Museum Catalogue I, 1149a. Norman 1335.The present work, largely composed by Alexandre-Gui Pingre (1711-1796) and Charles Messier (1730-1817) is the report of a voyage in the frigate l’Aurore, fitted out by Courtanvaux at his own expense, to assess the various competitors for the prize offered by the French Academie des Sciences for the first successful method of accurately measuring longitude. The main contender was the Horloger du Roi, Pierre Le Roy (1717-1785). He had invented a completely original marine chronometer in the 1750s, which he perfected over the next decade and presented to Louis XV in 1766. In 1767 Le Roy entered his machine, which “embodied all the principles upon which later marine chronometers were constructed”, in the competition. The voyage between Le Havre and Amsterdam was the first practical trial to which it was subjected. Le Roy was awarded a double prize in 1768 for his chronometer and for his memoir describing it. The first four chapters give a detailed account of the different methods employed from the 15th to the 18th centuries to determine longitude. The rest of the work describes the voyages and the experiments carried out, and finishes with a description of Le Roy’s marine clocks. (1) £400-600

Abbey, Travel 728. Sabin 72125. In December 1817, James Robinson, surgeon, joined an expedition to Venezuela in support of the South American patriots, during the time when Bolivar’s armies were fighting the Spanish for independence. The account was published posthumously after the author died from illness while still in South America, and the editor’s preface states: “The author has traversed the interior of Venezuela by its most interesting route; has borne a part in the sanguinary war which at this moment devastates it; has gone through scenes of extraordinary suffering; and has throughout, described domestic manners and public events with a freshness and a force which are rarely evinced by the professed writers of similar works. Perhaps no book of travels, since that of Mr. Parke, exhibits a journey of such event, such suffering, and such interest; and certainly no work gives views of the people of Venezuela and of the present war which devastates that country, at all approaching to these in accuracy or in interest”.

BOOKS FROM THE LIBRARY OF JOHN HARE OBE FRGS During the 1960s John Hare spent seven years in one of the remotest areas in Africa on the Nigeria/Cameroon border working for the British and Nigerian governments in an administrative capacity. His practical experience of working with camels led to his selection to join expeditions in 1993, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1999, 2005 and 2011 into the Mongolian and Chinese Gobi and the Lop Nur region of Xinjiang Province (China’s former nuclear test area) to study and survey the habitat of the critically endangered Wild Camel (Camelus ferus), an animal more endangered than the Giant Panda. In 1995 he was the first foreigner to visit Lop Nur for over 45 years and the first foreigner in recorded history to cross the Gashun Gobi from north to south. In 1999, on an expedition mounted on domestic camels, supported by the Royal Geographical Society and National Geographic, the expedition members discovered two previously unmapped valleys and a spring holding native populations of wildlife which had never seen man. In 1997 he established the Wild Camel Protection Foundation, a UK registered charity - and in 2002 the Chinese government approved the establishment of the Lop Nur Wild Camel National Nature Reserve.

Places visited include: Gibralter, Malta, Suez canal, Yemen, Portugal, Spain, Ireland, Scotland. H.M.S. Canopus was a pre-dreadnought battleship of the British Royal Navy and the lead ship of the Canopus class, H.M.S. Glory was also a member of the Canopus class. Canopus was commissioned into the fleet in December 1899, and Glory in November 1900. Both ships were assigned to the China Station, Glory from 1901-1905, and Canopus in 1905. However, Canopus was recalled partway through her journey to East Asia, due to an improvement in the political situation. Both ships then served with various fleet commands in British waters until 1907/8. After service with the Mediterranean Fleet, each was placed on reserve until the outbreak of the First World War when they were mobilised for service. The author is believed to be Clement Rolfe Ingleby, only son of Mr Holcome Ingelby MP for Kings Lynn, Norfolk. Clement left the Navy in 1906, after which he returned as an RNVR officer in 1914. A few months after becoming a prisoner of war in Holland he escaped, and on returning to England transferred to the Royal Flying Corps, becoming one of the first officers appointed to the newly formed Royal Air Force on 1st April 1918. Soon afterwards he wrote a poem ‘Per Ardua ad Astra’, published in Flight magazine June 6th 1918, in which he describes taking-off in a biplane. This becomes poignant in the light of an aeroplane accident the previous year, which resulted in a foot amputation, meaning Clement could no longer fly and became desk-bound in his work. In addition to his military career Clement is known for compiling ‘A Supplement to Blomefield’s Norfolk’, published in 1929. (1) £150-200

128 Allegorical map. Ellis (J.), A new map of the Land of Matrimony drawn from the latest surveys, [published J.

The poster was one of a series of three wartime maps by Gill, the others depicting New Zealand and Canada, distributed as propaganda to demonstrate the contribution of the Commonwealth countries to the Allied war effort. It is worth noting that, though Australia had long since achieved self governing status within the Commonwealth, the map largely reflects an imperial mindset: Aside from the note about its industrial resources, the country is shown primarily as a source of commodities needed for the war effort, with little attempt to depict its distinctive cultural, geographical or political characteristics. (1) £500-800
The map shows how a potential ‘traveller’ who is sailing on the Ocean of Love can follow a track indicating “...., vessels bound to the Land of Matrimony.” The ‘ship’ has to navigate past the Rocks of Jealousy and through the Straits of Uncertainty, while avoiding Danglers Island and Cape Shilly Shally. The far northern reaches of the map contain Henpeck Bay and the Dead Lake of Indifference, whilst the southern shores have Cuckolds point and Divorce Island. However if the true path is followed it leads to Brides Bay, with its Honeymoon Island, and the final journey past the Temple of Hymen and up the L’Amour River into the Land of Matrimony. A significant and scarce example of Georgian allegorical and matrimonial cartography. (1) £400-600

204 Spain & Portugal. Nantiat (Jaspar), A new Map of Spain and Portugal, Exhibiting the Chains of Mountains With their Passes The Principal & Cross Roads, With Other Details requisite for the Intelligence of Military Operations, William Faden, 1810, large engraved map with contemporary hand colouring, sectionalised and laid on linen, table of the distances from Madrid, table of explanation and an ‘advertisement’ explaining the topography, slight staining and offsetting, 1130 x 1570mm, contained in a contemporary marbled card slipcase with publisher’s label to upper board, some wear to extremities A large and detailed folding map, published during the Peninsular War. Probably because of the war Nantiat is most exercised with the borders between Spain and Portugal, especially the passes through which it was expected that Napoleon’s army might come when the campaign season started in the spring. It is probable that Faden saw an opportunity to sell this detailed and large scale map to officers in Wellington’s army in Portugal, with the idea that it could be used as a reference for the campaign. In July of 1810 - six months after the publication of the map - the French military commander, Marshal Masséna led an army of 65,000 troops into Portugal, pushing on towards Lisbon, but was held back by the Lines of Torres Vedras a set of earthworks that had been built on the orders of Wellington. The campaign - significant for the emergence of large-scale guerrilla warfare was eventually won by the British under the command of Lt. Gen. Sir Arthur Wellesley, later the 1st Duke of Wellington. It could be argued that the French defeat was sealed when Napoleon set out with a massive army on what proved to be the disastrous French invasion of Russia. This seriously depeleted the French forces with the result that a combined allied army under Wellesley pushed into Spain, defeating the French at Salamanca and taking Madrid. In the following year Wellington scored a decisive victory over King Joseph Bonaparte’s army in the Battle of Vitoria. Pursued by the armies of Britain, Spain and Portugal, Marshal Jean-de-Dieu Soult, no longer able to get sufficient support from a depleted France, led the exhausted and demoralized French forces in a fighting withdrawal across the Pyrenees during the winter of 1813/1814. France, Napoleon and its European dominance would finally fall the following year at the battle of Waterloo. (1) £100-200

Abbey, Life, 506. The panorama shows the north bank of the Thames from the new Houses of Parliament downstream to the Isle of Dogs followed by the south bank upstream to Deptford. It originated as a promotional gift for subscribers to the Illustrated London News in January 1843. This copy must be one of the later editions as it clearly shows the completed St. Stephen’s tower (Big Ben) which wasn’t finished until 1859. Earlier states show an unfinished Hungerford bridge hidden by a wooden jetty. This example shows the bridge finished and apparently open. Hyde states ‘Some copies were issued on rollers with either pink or green wrapper titles, these being sold by Mr. Azulay. Azulay occupied three booths at the entrance to the Thames tunnel and was a prolific producer and vendor of ‘peep shows’ and perspective views. Abbey gives the date as 1830 and running from Essex street to Deptford, but this is clearly a much altered and ‘modernised’ later state. (1) £200-300

Fores had tried something similar in the early 1800s, paying the jobbing caricaturist Charles Williams to engrave a number of copies of popular Gillray designs which were then sold at less than the cost of the original. Miller & Blackwood simply took the scale of this piracy a step further, copying whole swathes of Gillrays back-catalogue and selling them in cheaply bound and coloured volumes. The secret of their success is financially obvious, as a customer walking into George Humphreys’ printshop in 1824 would have been expected to pay between 2 and 5 shillings for a coloured copy of one of Gillrays famous caricatures. Miller & Blackwood on the other hand, could offer the same customer a bound edition of 80 coloured images for 10s 6d. It is a comparison which neatly illustrates the changing nature of the market for printed satire in this period and explains why so many of the older West End printshops began to diversify or disappear from 1820 onward.

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.
