I remember her well when I was a little Girl, and even then she could play and sing and act! You and I and Graham, and Mary Hope all derive our names from General Hope, whose memorial is in the Abbey. This little Book was written and bound by your Great Grand Aunt Anne Hope Lowry, the Daughter of the Revd. James Graham,- and niece of General Hope”.

The Tale of Peter Rabbit, 2nd privately printed edition, [Strangeways], February 1902, col. frontis., line drawings throughout, occn. light foxing, mostly to title-page, endpapers, and edges, recto of rear free endpaper with small red ink mark, orig. olive-green boards (mottled fading to brown), with rounded spine (sl. rubbed at head), upper cover with printed lettering and vignette of Peter and siblings, small biro note above title ‘7 to 9’, 16mo, contained in brown cloth solander box, gilt titled on spine Linder, p.420; Quinby 1A. Exceptionally rare, one of only 200 copies. The character of Peter Rabbit was based on Beatrix’s own pet rabbit, and he made his first appearance in a letter written in 1893 to Noel, the five-year-old offspring of her former governess, Annie Carter. Noel and his siblings so enjoyed this and subsequent letters that Beatrix thought about having the story published. In 1900 she sent the story to at least six different publishers, all of whom rejected it, including Frederick Warne, who later decided to take the book on. Undeterred, Beatrix decided to have her little book privately printed, and in 1901 250 copies were published priced at 1/6 each. They sold so well that in February 1902 she had a further 200 copies printed with slightly amended text, of which the copy offered here is one.

193 Potter (Beatrix). The Tailor of Gloucester, 1st privately printed edition, [Strangeways], December 1902, col. frontis and fifteen fullpage col. plts., free endpapers browned, upper hinge partially split, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, orig. pink boards, with mottled fading, spine worn and repaired at head, upper cover with printed lettering and vignette of three mice sewing, 16mo Quinby 4. Rare: only 500 copies printed. Inscribed on the front free endpaper: ‘To Cicely Roscoe from Beatrix Potter Jan 16th. 03’. The chemist Sir Henry Enfield Roscoe was Beatrix’s uncle, and so Cicely was probably related to Beatrix. The story of the Tailor of Gloucester was first told in a letter from Beatrix to Freda Moore, daughter of her former governess, Annie Carter. Although Frederick Warne had taken up Beatrix’s ‘Bunny Book’, as they referred to ‘Peter Rabbit’, and published it in October 1902, the author felt that they might not wish to publish a second book so soon, or that they might want to alter it too much. So she returned to Strangeways, the original printers of ‘Peter Rabbit’, and herself paid for a private edition of 500 copies to be printed. The book differs considerably in both text and illustration from Warne’s later edition of 1903. Of all her books ‘The Tailor of Gloucester’ remained Beatrix Potter’s own favourite.

Traditionally, Rupert always had a brown face on the front cover (and continued to do so after 1973). For the year of 1973 Bestall gave Rupert a brown face as usual, but the editor of the Express thought that this blended into the background too much, so decided to change Rupert to a white bear without consulting Bestall. When Bestall realised, he left in protest and never drew another cover for a Rupert annual. He was incensed at not being consulted about the decision, and also annoyed that the editor didn’t think to reintroduce the shading and shadows present in his version. To appease Bestall, his signature was disguised on the covers of the white-faced annual. There is thought to be about half a dozen of the brown-faced annual produced, and to our knowledge only four have come to light. The holy grail of any Rupert collection!

PAUL MCCARTNEY AND THE BRUCE MCMOUSE SHOW

'The Bruce McMouse Show' is a topic of much mythmaking and hearsay among Paul McCartney fans. Intended as a one-hour part-animated film for ITV with two commercial advert breaks the film was made but never shown. Paul McCartney owns the master copy of the film and the idea for the film seems to have been entirely his own. Paul's interest in animation can be traced back to at least the involvement he had with, and the enjoyment he got from, the making of 'Yellow Submarine' (1968). The idea of this film was to show concert footage from the Wings Over Europe tour of 1972 interspersed with animation action relating to cartoon character Bruce McMouse and family living under the floorboards of the stage.

The first fifteen lots here are drawings and sketches which are largely attributable to Paul and it is possible to trace the development of the characters as Paul finds ways of expressing his ideas for a family of cartoon mice with individual characters.

How the concept of the story changed from initial idea to finished film is unknown but this helps answer many of those questions and put to rest the rumour that the film was never made. The drawings are all undated but would seem to date from an intense short period in early 1973. Paul with his wife Linda and her daughter Heather, then aged ten, went to Antigua for a few days in April that year and it is here that Paul, with some family help it would seem, worked hard on developing the characters to take the project forward. Linda was not as artistic as Paul and there are some drawings that appear therefore to be in Linda's or Heather's hand; a few appear to be joint efforts. For comparisons with many known Paul McCartney drawings see the book 'Paul McCartney Composer/Artist' (Pavilion Books, 1981).

The five characters are not named in the film but were voiced by Deryck Guyler [Bruce McMouse], Pat Coombes [his wife Yvonne], plus Derek Nimmo, Paul and Linda voicing the children, the musically hip teenage son Soily [to become the title of a Wings song in 1974], teenage daughter Swooney, and kid brother Swat.

Eric Wylam was the director of animation and other members of the animation team included Eddie Radage, Richard Cox and George Jackson, with backgrounds by Alan Gray. The film was edited by Barry Chattington and produced by Paul McCartney's company MPL Communications Ltd. Whatever the reasons for shelving the project it did not kill Paul McCartney's interest and love for the medium of animation.

He has worked on many successfully released projects since then, most notably perhaps being 'Rupert and the Frog Song' from 1984, now available as part of the DVD 'Paul McCartney – Music & Animation Collection'.

Provenance: From the estate of the film's animation director Eric Wylam by family descent. Eric was given the drawings by Paul at a meeting held to discuss Paul's ideas for the part-animated film. Eric "Ric" Wylam's (1919-1997) artistic career began in the second world war when seconded to XXX Corps drawing maps and making large-scale models for various campaigns, including the bridge at Arnhem and Operation Market Garden (the D-Day Landings). After the war Ric joined the staff at Gaumont British Animation Ltd at Moor Hall in Berkshire, working as an animation artist and trainer alongside David Hand, director of Walt Disney’s 'Snow White' and 'Bambi'.

Ric left Moor Hall for Kenya to work on the “Groundnut Scheme”, then starting a printing and advertising company in Nairobi.

He returned to England in 1950 to work as a freelance illustrator, working on the magazine 'Butterfly' and for Longmans, Green & Co. illustrating 'The Progressive Atlas' and other geographical books.

He joined World Wide Animation in 1953. As an animation director he made educational films for Unilever and Philips Research Laboratories as well as adverts for television and cinema. He made one short animation for ITN explaining how colour television worked. Other projects included animating the Bayeux Tapestry in a film called 'After the Arrow' (1971) made for the Post Office. A 'Golden Arrow' was awarded to him for his 1970s Milk Marketing Board advert “Watch out, Watch out, there’s a Humphrey about”. Ric always let it be known to family and friends that he was very proud of the animation made for 'The Bruce McMouse Show' and was disappointed it was never publicly released. He treasured these Paul McCartney drawings and animation artwork until his death in 1997.

The leg has strong overtones of ‘Yellow Submarine’ (1968) from which Paul McCartney’s interest in pursuing animated projects had stemmed.

528* McCartney (Paul, b. 1942, attrib.). Cartoon character studies of a walrus and a mouse’s head for ‘The Bruce McMouse Show’, c.

April 1973, the walrus drawn in black ballpoint pen with a watercolour blue wash, drawn in landscape format to the recto of Curtain Bluff Hotel Antigua letterhead, a female cartoon mouse’s head with buck teeth drawn above right in black ballpoint pen, also attributed to Paul McCartney, the character name ‘Swoon[e]y’ written in pencil beneath (probably one of the animation team’s holograph), small green felt-tip mark to upper left corner and very light yellow brown tinge along lower outline of the walrus’s back, one sheet of off-white onionskin paper, 153 x 242mm An astonishing and cute study of a cartoon walrus. It was John Lennon who wrote the Beatles song ‘I am the Walrus’ in 1967 and much has been speculated about the meaning of it ever since. Lennon admitted that the idea partly germinated from Lewis Carroll’s ‘The Walrus and the Carpenter’, with Lennon later expressing dismay when he realised that the Walrus was the villain in the poem. To add humorous confusion Lennon then wrote in the 1968 Beatles song ‘Glass Onion’: “now here’s another clue for y’all - the walrus was Paul”. In 1970 in his solo song ‘God’ he wrote again ‘I was the walrus, but now I’m John’.

529* McCartney (Paul, b. 1942, attrib.). Three cartoon character studies believed to be for ‘The Bruce McMouse Show’, c. April 1973, the first of a furry creature with whiskers and an open mouth showing irregular teeth, black ballpoint pen with grey and brown wash, drawn in landscape format to the recto of Curtain Bluff Hotel Antigua letterhead, the second and third drawings in black ballpoint pen drawn to hotel letterhead versos with yellow, purple, green and brown felt-tip colouring, one of a full-length mouse singing ‘LA LA’ and foot tapping ‘TAP TAP’, the other of a long mouse head, with a small cartoon mouse head figure (in Heather’s hand?) beneath, the three main figures on these sheets not as recognisably Paul McCartney’s hand and may be largely or completely drawn by Linda and her daughter Heather, all three sheets with the versos blank, off-white onionskin paper, 242 x 153mm or the reverse Paul, Linda and Heather McCartney had a brief holiday in Antigua, leaving the 12th April and returning the 15th April 1973. As these were all submitted to the animation director Eric Wylam as character studies for the film it seems likely that Paul, whose brainchild this project this, had at least some involvement in each drawing.

THE BEATLES

539* The Beatles “Mad Day Out”. A group of twenty six b & w 35mm negatives on five strips, photographs taken at the Mercury Theatre, Notting Hill, Sunday 28 July 1968, the photographs taken by the photographer Frazer Pearce during the “Mad Day Out” with the Beatles day, one strip of six negatives showing the Beatles holding an ‘International Theatre Club’ sign board while standing outside the theatre and with Mal Evans’s son Gary appearing in front in all but one of these negatives, the remaining strips all interior shots, the second strip showing George, John, Paul and Ringo in various combinations in conversation with each other, Mal Evans, Tom Murray(?) and one other unidentified person also visible, the third strip including photographs of George and Ringo in conversation with Don McCullin; John and Yoko Ono seated; George and Ringo; plus George, Ringo and Paul, the two remaining strips partly overexposed due to the poor lighting and showing the Beatles photographed from further away and probably with a different camera, the action largely concerning the Beatles on stage posing for Don McCullin and the other photographers, with Mal and Gary Evans appearing in one negative with Francie Schwartz [McCartney’s then girlfriend], the final two images of one strip largely lost through overexposure, (plus two further strips of ten negatives of props relating to the International Theatre Club show ‘Theatre is dead - We must act!’ unconnected to the Beatles but believed to have been photographed on the same day) Known as ‘Mad Day Out’ with the Beatles the photographs taken here are all unpublished and previously unknown. At this point in time the Beatles were in the midst of fractious recording of the ‘White Album’ and at the height of their fame, riding high on the success of their latest album ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’. Taking time out from recording for a day’s photo shoot at various unusual London locations they took along photographers Don McCullin, Steven Goldblatt, Tom Murray, Tony Bramwell and Ronald Fitzgibbon. Also in the small entourage were Mal and Gary Evans, Yoko Ono, and Francie Schwartz, Paul McCartney’s then girlfriend. At each location they were spotted and hunted out by hordes of fans and autograph hunters meaning they had to move on to the next location quickly. It was at the end of this day that Don McCullin took the celebrated photographs of the Beatles looking over the railings that later adorned the red and blue gatefold covers for both ‘1962-1966’ and ‘1967-1970’ double albums. After this day it was increasingly rare for all the Beatles to be found together as relationships within the band began to disintegrate.

Frazer Pearce, a photographer for the actors’ casting directory Spotlight, was then involved with the Notting Hill Mercury Theatre (the original home of the Ballet Rambert and featured in the Powell & Pressburger film ‘The Red Shoes’, 1948). It was at this time the home of the International Theatre Club run by director Jean Pierre Voos. Frazer was by chance working at the theatre when the Beatles turned up on this impromptu visit as part of the day’s photo shoot. As a thank you for the use of the venue, and before fleeing fans to the next location, the Beatles posed for Frazer outside with the Theatre Club sign. Interestingly, the previously known photographs of the same posed situation taken by the other photographers present are from an angle. For these striking photographs Frazer Pearce took centre stage as the primary photographer.

Don McCullin recalls this location briefly in the preface to his recently published ‘A Day in the Life of the Beatles’ (2010): ‘We found ourselves in a strange community hall somewhere in the East End. Somebody produced a parrot. The light was terrible and I was struggling with reloading my cameras. There was an old upright piano and they started fooling around with it.’

A letter of transference of full copyright from the photographer will be made available to the buyer of the lot, along with a two-page note with Frazer’s memories of the day’s events.

The lights turned green and both cars set off. At the next of red lights the autographed scrap of paper was returned through the window and the two cars drove on. On this day at 7pm the Beatles recorded the backing track for Paul McCartney’s song ‘For No-one’ which involved on Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr. A typed note from the owner accompanies this lot describing the way in which he obtained the autographs.

However, like the British one-sheet poster with artwork by Vic Fair, James Bond wears a white tuxedo and the printed titles are centred at the head and foot. As in the Dan Gouzee poster Roger Moore stands precariously high above the Golden Gate Bridge, but here Tanya Roberts clings to his legs while trying not to slip off with one foot dangling into the letterpress beneath. Christopher Walken is closing in with a stick of dynamite from the left while Grace Jones is leaping in from a spaceship above two other approaching attackers behind James Bond’s back. A marvellous and dynamic piece of original and unique James Bond artwork.

(1) £3000-5000

Lewis Gilbert, 1967, starring Sean Connery, UK quad poster, style C bath house scene, some rubbing and creasing to margins with chipping to corners and one long closed tear from right margin into image, 30 x 40 ins, very good, together with rolled one-sheet posters for A View to a Kill, For Your Eyes Only and Octopussy, plus two issues of Photoplay with Goldfinger and Thunderball front covers (6)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 17.5% 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 17.5% and assents to the Auctioneer receiving the said commission.

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.

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.

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 for which insurance the Auctioneer will charge a premium of £1.50 per £100. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
