A Victorian horse drawn Bowman carriage, original upholstery, brass hubs marked KEITES & SONS, 183cm long overall, c.1850The Brougham was a light, four-wheeled horse-drawn carriage popular during the nineteenth century and named after the politician and jurist Lord Brougham, who had a carriage built to his particular specifications by London coachbuilder Robinson & Cook in about 1838. The vehicle was to be enclosed, able to seat two passengers in luxury, with occasional seats for two more, plus a driver and a groom. It also had to be light and require just a single horse and have a full cut-under fore carriage to allow it to turn in its own length in the narrow streets of London’s business district. The design quickly became popular and was copied in Paris and in New York by bespoke coachbuilders. Variations included an extension-front Brougham, which had four full seats inside a longer body, square-front Broughams referencing the shape, and the bow-front Brougham***This lot is contained at a property in Kegworth, North West Leicestershire (approximately 12 miles from the saleroom) and is to be sold in situ. Viewing can be arranged by appointment with the auctioneers, and successful bidders will have until Wednesday 14th August to remove. Payment and collection MUST be made by this date.

(Early golf) Thomas Mathison The Goff. An Heroi-Comical Poem. In three Cantos...With an appendix, Containing Two Poems in Praise of Goff, and a Few Notes and Illustrations Third edition, though described as the second on the title page, it was enlarged by a dedication 'To all the lovers of Goff in Europe, Asia, Africa and America', and by two short poems, later blue half calf rubbed to extremities, marbled endpapers with the ex libris label for Samuel Chick (a copy of William Faques the first printer to the king, 1504) and booksellers label for Henry Sotheran & Co to front pastedown, some light staining to the head of the title page, pp.32 runs true, pp.22, 23 and 25 previously dog eared, a very good copy, scarce, Printed for Peter Hill, Edinburgh, 1793.One of the cornerstones of golfing literature, the third edition of the first printed book devoted entirely to golf, is Thomas Mathison's "The Goff." Born in Edinburgh in 1721 and trained as a legal writer, Mathison first published this work in 1743. The poem humorously depicts a game of golf played on Leith Links and provides significant insights into how golf was played at that time, including details on the equipment used and the layout of the course. It also mentions prominent golfers of the era, referred to as the 'Caledonian Chiefs,' who were regulars at Leith Links. These players, drawn from Edinburgh's professional elite, were the founding members of the first golf club, the Company of Gentlemen Golfers.Peter Hill, the publisher, typically printed in the hundreds rather than thousands. This scarce volume, with WorldCat listing only seven editions in eleven libraries worldwide and none in the British Library, is in remarkable condition. The slightly later binding, bearing the label of the esteemed Henry Sotheran & Co booksellers, further attests to its distinguished provenance. The identity of Samuel Chick, as noted on the ex libris label, remains a mystery. An important work, rarely sold on the open market.
