MORNING SESSION: Commencing 10.30am

TRAVEL The Property of the late Alan and Polly Mitchell The books oﬀered here come from the library of Alan G. Mitchell [1948-2016] and Polly Mitchell [1949-2021]. Alan was a charismatic, bright and unconventional bookseller, with a penchant for fine books and wine. His first independent book catalogue appeared in 1973 and the early bookselling years were spent driving around provincial bookshops (occasionally in the company of David Attenborough). He would return to the capital with a car packed full of books that he would then sell at ‘London’ or ‘international’ prices. He not only sold individual books but also handled large, prestigious collections, travelling widely in search of a deal – South America, Pakistan, Algeria, South Africa and Turkey. Alan much admired the achievements of Capt. Sir Richard Burton and formed collections of Burton’s works – even acquiring Burton’s original tombstone, oﬀered in this sale. He sold books to many notable clients, including Farah Diba, Empress Consort of Persia, receiving one of the final bank transfers to come out of Tehran before the Revolution. In 1979, Alan and his friend, Humphrey Winterton, bought the old firm of Francis Edwards and traded from Marylebone High Street in the building that is now Daunt books. The mid-1980s saw a return to independent bookselling from home, sometimes collaborating with Maggs, Spink and Quaritch, and friends such as Franklin BrookeHitching, John Bonham and Barry McManmon. The last twenty or so years of his life were spent with his very supportive wife, Polly; together they travelled regularly to Turkey, staying for a couple of months each year in the delightful little town of Gumusluk. Colleagues, collectors and friends would visit - many a book was sold on the shores of the Mediterranean. Polly was a wonderful and charming host in their Chelsea flat – there was always excellent conversation, laughter, generosity of bibliographical knowledge and a fascinating selection of rare books & curios to view. The Mitchell books are now ready to embark on the next leg of their journey through the book world. Jenny Allsworth, Allsworth Rare Books

MAUSOLEUM OF SULTAN PURVEIZ, NEAR ALLAHABAD, pencil worked up with watercolour, on laid paper with watermark of a Strasbourg lily, countermarked ‘IV’, and with the artist’s characteristic ruled black ink border, sheet 413 x 630 mm (16¼ x 24¾ in), under glass, some signs of careful restoration to old handling creases and abrasion, faint exposure lines visible at extreme edge, framed, [circa 1790] Engraved: T. and W. Daniell, aquatint engraving, for Oriental Scenery, 1805, vol. 1, no. 22 Literature: cf. Archer, Mildred, Early Views of India, The Picturesque Journeys of Thomas and William daniell 1786-1794, 1980, no. 68 ⁂ ‘The remains of Sultan Purveiz, the son of the Emperor Jehangire, were here deposited about the year 1626. The simplicity of the general design of this Mausoleum, with its judicious and well-executed decorations, rank it among the the most correct examples of Indian architecture’ [The Journal of William Daniell, c. 7, November 1789] An excellent example of a “field drawing” produced by Thomas Daniell and his nephew William while on their journey through India. The distinctive pencil under-drawing would have been produced on the spot, and then once back in England the two artists would have worked up the drawing in watercolour and brush and ink. For a comparative example showing the same handling of pencil crosshatching and jagged delineation of foliage, see the watercolour ‘Main Entrance of the Jami Mosque, Jaunpur’ held in the Yale Centre for British Art (acc. no. B1977.14.6140, - with images here: https://collections.britishart.yale.edu/catalog/tms:9224]. An aquatint based on the drawing was published as Plate 22 in the first volume of Oriental Scenery in 1798. The aquatint was published with the imprint that it was ‘Drawn and Engraved by Thos. Daniell’, however the nature of the under-drawing suggests his nephew William was closely involved; as with many of their finished watercolours, it is difficult to distinguish their individual contributions. £5,000 - 7,000

The present study bears a pencil inscription like that found on the watercolour of Deal Castle, held in the Royal Academy of Arts collection (see object no. 03/3896), which was reproduced in aquatint for the Picturesque Voyage. £300 - 500 45

The first volume contains King’s account of the expedition in the Adventure made between 1826 and 1830, which surveyed the coasts of Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego. The second volume (and its appendix volume) describes the narrative of the Beagle’s second voyage under Capt. Fitzroy made between 1831 and 1836 to South America, the Galapagos Islands, Tahiti, New Zealand, Australia, and other islands and countries. “The five years of the voyage were the most important event in Darwin’s intellectual life and in the history of biological science. Darwin sailed with no formal scientific training. He returned a hard-headed man of science, knowing the importance of evidence, almost convinced that species had not always been as they were since the creation but had undergone change... The experiences of his five years... and what they led to, built up into a process of epoch-making importance in the history of thought”. (DSB) £8,000 - 12,000 22

On the recto of the last leaf the anonymous scribe has copied the text of the Epitaphium Achillis (see Riese, Anthologia Latina, I, 2, no. 630), which is attested in two other manuscripts dating from the late fourteenth century, respectively in the Biblioteca Riccardiana in Florence (ms 1223.C) and in the Biblioteca Universitaria in Genoa (ms E.II.8). A further point of interest of the present codex lies in its copious marginalia, glosses and scholia, which oﬀer numerous variant readings. The provenance of this manuscript has an interesting Genoese connection: between the end of the fifteenth and the beginning of the seventeenth century the manuscript passed through the hands of members of the first families of the Genoa Republic: the D’oria (or Doria), Spinola and Grimaldi families. Among these owners the name of Giovanni Battista Grimaldi is especially noteworthy. In his palace in Genoa he assembled a beautiful library, which included Latin classical texts as well as contemporary vernacular works, and his humanist preceptor Claudio Tolomei (ca. 1492-1556) had an important role in forming the collection. He paid great attention to the bindings of his volumes, and employed the best and most sought after binders such as Niccolò Franzese and Marcantonio Guillery. Grimaldi was a friend of Niccolò Spinola, whose ownership inscription is also to be found in this manuscript: it is therefore possible to hypothesise an exchange of books between these two distinguished Genoese patricians. Provenance: Andreolo D’Oria (fifteenth-century ownership inscription on recto of front flyleaf ‘Nobili Domino Andriolo de Auria’; Niccolò Spinola (sixteenth-century ownership inscription on recto of front flyleaf ‘Nicolaus Spinula me possidet’; Giovanni Battista Grimaldi (1524-1612; ownership inscription on verso of fol. 33 ‘Gio: Batt[ist]a Grimaldo’; Alessandro [Grimaldi ?] (ownership inscription on verso of fol. 34 ‘Alexandro’, maybe the son of Giovanni Battista Grimaldi).

ENGLISH LITERATURE AND HISTORY CAXTON PRINTING

407 Chaucer (Geoﬀrey) CANTERBURY TALES, single leaf from the first edition, 29 lines, lettre bâtarde, window-mounted, small folio (227 x 154mm.), Westminster, William Caxton, 1478. ⁂ From “The Tale of Melibee” in which three men break into Melibee’s house while he is away, beat his wife Prudence and attack his daughter, leaving her for dead. On his return Melibee and Prudence discuss what action to take. On this leaf we have Prudence’s advocation of the attributes of womankind: “What is better than Jasper. Wisedom. And What is better than Wisedom, Woman, and What is better than good Woman, no thing...” In Caxton’s bâtarde type, which he had utilised at his press in Bruges, 1473-75, modelled on the book-hands used there in highclass vernacular manuscripts for the Burgundian court.

Caxton printed his Cicero in the second, slightly refined version of the same bâtarde type whose first version he had used for Chaucer’s Boethius and the Dicts, and for the Latin names here he used the gothic type that first saw proper service in the Boethius two years before. The last substantially complete copy at auction (108 of 120 leaves, bound with a few leaves of Caxton’s The Knight of the Tower, 1484) sold last year for £320,000 £600 - 800

422 [Shakespeare (William)] TWELFE NIGHT, OR WHAT YOU WILL, from the Second Folio, 21pp., numbered 255-275 (265 misnumbered 273), double column, woodcut head-piece and decorative initial, scattered faint spotting and staining, mostly marginal but aﬀecting odd word, trimmed, aﬀecting signatures and odd catch-word, modern black morocco, spine titled in gilt, overall a crisp tight copy, folio (295 x 205mm.), [Printed by Thomas Coates], [1632].

⁂ One of Shakespeare's most famous comedies - hailed as "the climax of Shakespeare's early achievement in comedy" - Twelfe Night is Shakespeare's most gender-fluid play, its plot dependent on cross-dressing and the erotic possibilities between same-sex pairs.

⁂ Shakespeare at his most comic: an elaborate farce based in the misperception of identity, and driven by puns, buﬀoonery and improbable situations. Involving two sets of identical twin with multiple identity confusions, the Comedy of Errors is perhaps the most complicated plotline of any of Shakespeare’s plays.

The play opens with one of Shakespeare's most famous lines: "If music be the food of love, play on!"

This decorative tradition is accepted as having taken-oﬀ in the 1650s, in a London bookbindery.

In 1757 Bridges was commissioned to draw up designs for improve the medieval bridge over the river Avon in Bristol. He advocated a bridge of three arches using the existing piers but many wanted a completely new bridge, a much more expensive option. Designs were sought from other sources and much argument ensued but Bridges was appointed surveyor in November 1760 to build a single arch bridge. Before he started the commissioners consulted engineers’ opinions, one advising that a single-arch was too risky and John Smeaton saying the opposite, hence this pamphlet from Bridges in defence of his original design. The confused commissioners then co-appointed Bridges and another architect to construct a three-arch bridge, at considerable more expense, but Bridges was so fed up by this time that he left for the West Indies. The bridge was finally built to his original plan by Thomas Paty in 1763-68.

Parker was elected ‘President of the Delegates of the Fleet’, which according to him was done without his knowledge. The Admiralty were furious with the grievances presented and in return oﬀered nothing but a pardon, assuming the mutineers returned to duty immediately. This was rebuﬀed.

THE AUTHOR’S REPUTATION IN THIS COUNTRY.

The inscriptions are mostly signed as either Robert or the author’s nickname of “Red” and are indicative of the close friendship the two men enjoyed.

Rosenthal (1935-2014) became head of Secker & Warburg in 1971 and identified Warren as a writer longneglected in the UK. During a weekend at the author’s house in Connecticut, Rosenthal raised his criticism of the author’s most famous work All the King’s Men. The author noted that it was likely that Rosenthal had read the English rather than US edition which had cut a key chapter. Warren found a copy of the book on his shelves, inscribed it to Rosenthal and left him to read it (this copy included in the lot). Rosenthal realised the error made in publishing shortened version and promptly undertook to published the full version in the UK.
