Described by Shirley as 'one of the most attractive of its time', the map contains finely engraved and coloured allegorical vignettes depicting the four seasons, the elements and signs of the zodiac. Ours map corresponds to Shirley 451, state 2, with cherubs placed in the cusps and a border added.The map of the Americas, Novissima et accuratissima totius Americae descriptio, dating to around 1675 and replacing De Wit's earlier one of 1660, is notable for its inclusion of the five Great Lakes, which appear for the first time on a Dutch map.

JAMES IIAutograph letter signed as Duke of York ('Votre tres affectionne cousin Jacques'), to 'Mon Cousin' [probably Louis XIV], in French, acknowledging the many proofs of his friendship whilst he was in France and hoping that '...dans cette grande conjonture de la paix...' he will be assured of his correspondent's continued marks of friendship, assuring him of his gratitude and sending his trusted envoy John, Lord Berkeley of Stratton ('Cap: de mes gardes') to appraise him of his situation, ending him by assuring him of his continued friendship, docketed 'Le Duc d'yorck' in another hand upper left, 2 pages with integral blank, light dust-staining, remains of guard, 4to (225 x 174mm.), Brussels, 23 September 1659Footnotes:'I WILL NEVER FORGET THE KINDNESS YOU HAVE SHOWN ME': The future James II writes, as Duke of York, to his French cousin, a year after the death of Oliver Cromwell.Anticipating the success of Sir George Booth's uprising to restore Charles II to the throne a month earlier, James had travelled to Boulogne hoping to be recalled to England but, after the rebellion was crushed, he returned to Brussels where this letter was written. James had previously fought for France under Turenne but, after the French signed a treaty with Cromwell, he was forced to leave and found himself fighting for the Spanish in Flanders against his old allies. By 1659 France's victory over the Spanish brought peace and the possibility, expressed here in the most sincere of terms, of renewed ties of friendship with France at a time when the Restoration of the monarchy in England seemed far from certain.Sir John Berkeley, an ardent Royalist, was appointed Master of the Duke of York's household in 1652, whereupon he assumed full powers and styled himself 'intendant'. Before the civil war he had undertaken an important diplomatic mission to Sweden for Charles I and after assisting the King in his flight to the Isle of Wight, he himself fled to France where he became a close confidant of the Duke of York. He served by James's side under Turenne and in Flanders but despite his position of trust he was an unpopular figure. His arrogance and influence over the Duke '...exacerbated the factionalism at the exiled court...' and caused '...suspicion that his old contacts with Cromwell and the army grandees had not been entirely relinquished...'

Hayton, ODNB).This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

I accept what people call 'materialism' as the only working hypothesis which is of any practical use.

The deluxe edition was published some three months after the trade edition, which itself was preceded by the shorter novella length version which had appeared the year before, in the July 1890 issue of the American periodical Lippincott's Monthly Magazine. The paper's editor, J. M. Stoddart, had removed some 500 words without Wilde's permission, but nonetheless its publication caused a great outcry from some reviewers. Wilde vigorously defended its merits in the press, but made further revisions to the text for the 1891 edition, whilst adding the famous Preface which was effectively a literary and artistic manifesto written as a rebuttal to the criticisms.This copy has a variant form of the title-page with a full stop after the word 'Gray'; the full stop is not present in Mason's reproduction of the title-page but is seemingly often found.Provenance: Private French collection.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

ALBUM – NAPOLEONIC ERA & NOBILITYAlbum titled 'Lady/ Emily/ Bathurst's/ Scrap/ Book/ 1818', comprising some 20 watercolours and 70 drawings in pencil, pen, ink and wash, with silhouettes and other printed ephemera, the majority affixed to the album page, others tipped in, including: small group of watercolours of Napoleonic interest (including 'Lord Anglesey had his leg amputated in this House at Waterloo June 18th', dated 'Sept. 19 1815'; 'View of the Bugio Fort & Light House entering the Tagus' (initialled G.B.); Napoleon in profile (after Ibbetson); 'Longwood' (initialled G.H.B. and dated 1818); and two pencil drawings, 'Waterloo Church' and 'Hougemont' by Lady Georgiana Fane, 1820); other subjects include views of houses ('Earl of Bristol's Villa at Putney Heath', 'Lord Bathursts House at Cirencester'), 'The Landing of the Cesar at Plymouth', 'The Diving Bell at Plymouth Docks'; six silhouettes by Lady Hardy including that of a Napoleonic soldier; two pen drawings 'made by an automaton'; group of pencil drawings and caricatures by Sir Henry Bunbury (son of the caricaturist) and two drawings captioned 'By Sir T. Lawrence'; with further contributions by Vice Admiral Lord Mark Robert Kerr (five), his daughter the silhouette artist Lady Letitia Louisa Kerr (pen drawings taken 'from an old print'), her brother the Hon. Seymour Bathurst, the Hon. Charles Percy (two playing cards), the Hon J. Stanhope, Captain Napier ('Mr W... On his return from his travels giving an account of them at dinner in Stanhope Street, 1820'), Thomas Hyde Villiers, Peregrine Maitland (whose maternal aunt married the brother of Jane Austen), and many others; interspersed with manuscript poems, charades, riddles and anagrams in several hands ('What does Honor est a Nilo make?/ Horatio Nelson' and 'Thus the English have gout, & the Frenchman has goüt/ And what fills a French heart fills an Englishman's shoe'), cut signatures and a note from Mr Gore sending 'the Queen's footman to enquire if the Countess of Bathurst is in London & has been at Court within the twelvemonth' dated 9 March 1818; printed ephemera including three theatre bills from the Theatre, Mont St Martin, 1817; and two linen-backed printed and embossed tickets for the coronation of George IV issued to The Lady Emily Bathurst, one signed by Frederick Duke of York, c.90 leaves, contemporary black morocco gilt with brass clasp, titled in gilt on red spine label, g.e., 4to (234 x 178mm.), c.1818-1823Footnotes:'AN ENIGMA SUPPOSED TO BE WRITTEN BY LORD BYRON': WATERCOLOURS OF NAPOLEON AND A MENTION OF JANE AUSTEN.This charming album was compiled by the young Lady Emily Charlotte Bathurst (1798-1877), daughter of Henry Bathurst, 3rd Earl Bathurst (1762-1834) and Lady Georgina Lennox (1765-1841) of Cirencester Park. Begun in 1818, a postscript indicates it was completed in 1823 prior to her marriage to Major-General Hon. Sir Frederick Cavendish Ponsonby in 1825. Contributors to the album reflect a complicated web of aristocratic family connections and include accomplished amateur watercolourists such as Vice Admiral Lord Mark Kerr (1776-1840), his daughter Lady Louisa Kerr (1800-1885), who later became well-known for her finely executed silhouettes, although here she offers delicate pen and ink drawings, Sir Henry Bunbury (1778-1860), son of the famous caricaturist, and members of the Lennox family. The contents reflect the English obsession with Napoleon, now safely in exile on St Helena, with several watercolours and drawings of scenes around Waterloo and at Longwood – the initials 'G.H.B.' on the latter could possibly be those of Lady Emily's mother.An enjoyment of puzzles and parlour games is evident here, and the album is filled with clever riddles, charades and anagrams. Of particular note is the inclusion of a celebrated riddle on the letter 'H' by Catherine Maria Fanshawe, entitled 'An Enigma supposed to be written by Lord Byron' and beginning ''Twas whispered in heaven, 'twas muttered in hell,/ And echo caught faintly the sound as it fell'. As the title suggests these verses were often attributed to Byron: 'These lines thus first introduced were soon well-known and admired throughout the country, and from their style and curious felicity were attributed to Byron, the popular poet of the age. They afterwards crept into some foreign editions of his works, and are even at the present day often ascribed to him.' (The Rev. A.G. L'Estrange, Literary Life of the Rev. William Harness, 1871, p.101-102.). L'Estrange writes that Harness, a friend of Byron, noted that the original commenced 'Twas in Heaven pronounced'. Our version also has the word 'pronounced' as in the original but crossed out and replaced with 'whispered'. A playful note below the poem includes an early mention of Jane Austen but concludes that Fanshawe was indeed the author: 'not by Lord Byron but by Miss Fanshawe not by Miss Fanshawe but by Miss Austen – It was by Miss Fanshawe'. The name of Jane Austen had not long been in the public domain when this album was begun. Prior to her death in July 1817 her publications, although best-sellers, had not included her name on the title page and it was not until December 1817 in a biographical note by Henry Austen that she had been identified as the author of Persuasion and Northanger Abbey.

TSAR NICHOLAS II & GEORGE VTwo autograph notes, one in the hand of Nicholas II, in pencil, the other by George V, in pen, in German, proposing a toast to the health of the Emperor and their respective German regiments beginning 'Seine Majestät des Kaiser und König er lebe hoch!...', 2 pages affixed to an album leaf, dust staining and browning, creased, each 8vo (186 x 130mm. and smaller); with explanatory letter on paper bearing the royal crest, affixed to an album leaf and captioned by Major-General Sir John Ponsonby 'Explanatory note by my brother Sir Frederick Ponsonby Equerry to His Majesty King George V, one page affixed to an album leaf, light dusting, 8vo (183 x 116mm.), Berlin, 1913Footnotes:The letter which explains the circumstances under which these notes were written was penned by George V's equerry, Sir Frederick Ponsonby, and reads 'When the King and the Emperor of Russia were in Berlin they went to luncheon with their respective German Regiments and agreed to use the same words when proposing the health of the Emperor and the Regiment. They each took down the toast on slips of paper.' As a matter of courtesy it was customary for monarchs to wear the uniforms of the host country's regiments, and a photograph taken at the time (a copy of which is in the Royal Collection) shows Tsar Nicholas in the uniform of the 8th (1st Westphalian) Hussar 'Emperor Nicholas II of Russia' regiment and George V in the uniform of the 8th (Rhenish) Cuirassiers 'Count Geßler' regiment. The King had been appointed the honorary role of Colonel-in-Chief of the regiment in January 1902 whilst Prince of Wales and served as such until the outbreak of war in 1914 (www.rct.co.uk).The cousins, who bore an uncanny physical resemblance, were in Berlin to celebrate the wedding of Kaiser Wilhelm's daughter Princess Victoria Louise of Prussia to Prince Ernest Augustus of Hanover on 24 May 1913. It was a sumptuous affair and brought together the crowned heads of Europe in what was to be the last great social gathering of European royalty before the outbreak of the first world war just fourteen months later.
