BARRIE (J.M.)The Allahakbarrie Book of Broadway Cricket for 1899, illustrations (mostly full-page), with the pencil signatures of 32 players, literary figures and friends of Barrie on pages 2 and 3, and Barrie's autograph scorecard on page 27, original Japanese vellum wrappers, lettered in gilt on the upper cover (with title and 'Private.'), preserved in fitted half calf solander box with gilt lettered spine [Padwick 1296], square 12mo, [Privately Printed], 1899; The Greenwood Hat. Being a Memoir of James Anon 1885-1887, ONE OF 50 COPIES, INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR TO NICO & MARY LLEWELYN-DAVIES ('Nico and Mary affectionately from JMB 1930'), and then 'Transferred, 1979, by Nico and Mary, with much affection to Andrew Birkin', plates, original olive green morocco lettered in gilt, rebacked preserving original spine, worn, 8vo, Privately Printed, 1930; The Greedy Dwarf: A Moral Tale, by Peter Perkin, 4pp., printed programme for a performance by the Allahakbarrie Cricket Club, 133 Gloucester Road, 7 January 1901, page 1 with a 'Portrait of the Author' (the very young Peter Llewelyn Davies), the cast including Barrie as Cowardly Custard, Gerald du Maurier as Allahakbarrie, and Sylvia du Maurier ('Who has been Brought Back from the year 1892 in a Hansom') as 'The Principled Boy', and featuring Miss Mary Contrairy who 'will spell Allahakbarrie in the last Act', 8vo, Chiswick Press, 1901; and another by Barrie (4)Footnotes:'ALLAHAKBARRIES WON BY 61' - A HAT-TRICK OF J.M. BARRIE RARITIES.The Allahakbarrie Book of Broadway Cricket for 1899 was privately printed for Barrie on the occasion of the third match at Broadway. Two years earlier Barrie had persuaded Mary de Navarro, the former actress Mary Anderson, to host a cricket match with some of his friends taking part. Anderson's team included some of the American artists who had colonised the Cotswold village, such as Frank Millet, Alfred Parsons and Herman G. Herkomer, whilst Barrie's team was the Allahakbarries (derived from 'Allahakbar', meaning 'Heaven help us'). In 1899 Barrie had fifty copies of this booklet printed for presentation to his friends the night before the match, dedicating it to 'Our dear enemy, Mary de Navarro'. It contains a guide to the village, an account of the team and a forecast of the match, all written in a satirical style.In this copy, the space left blank on page 27 ('so that the fortunate possessor of this work may append the scores actually made') has been filled in by Barrie himself with an inked list of the 11 players, their scores and the result - 'Allahakbarries won by 61', possibly making this the copy that Barrie is said to have lost, or less conceivably, the replacement that the de Navarros sent him in 1922 (see Kevin Telfer, Peter Pan's First XI, 2010, which includes a full account of the match).The 32 signatures, a much higher number than found in other copies traced, comprise those of: Mary Barrie, Sylvia Llewellyn Davies, J.M. Barrie, Bernard Partridge, Hesketh Pritchard, Augustine Birrell, Daisy Partridge, Eleanor Birrell, E.H. Gilmour, J.L. Gilmour, D. Meredith, B. Reed, E.J. Reed, Charles Standring, A.J. de Navarro, Owen Seaman, A.E.W. Mason, Sydney S. Pawling, Henry J. Ford, Charles Turley Smith, Philip Carr, Clayton Johns, F.D. Millett, Lily Millett, Alfred Parsons, Louise M. Dale, Herman G. Herkomer, Mary Anderson Navarro, Blanche Griffin, Harry Plunket Greene, William Meredith and Edgar Speyer.The Greenwood Hat, also privately printed in an edition of 50 copies, is inscribed to the youngest of Barrie's 'Lost Boys', Nicholas Llewellyn-Davies, brother of Sylvia (see above). It includes a chapter on the Allahakbarries and two photographic plates ('Mr Birrel batting - A.E.W. Mason at point - Gilmour coaching' and 'The dear enemy of the Allahakbarries'). It also mentions the booklet, which had 'swollen to thirty [pages], just as Wisden grows and grows. They were privately printed in tiny editions, and are rarities now'.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

Died 30th November 1917. Aged 28'. By his Mother', manuscript, c.130 pages, ink on lined paper, 20 photographs of Townsend (one loose) and several newspaper cuttings pasted in, contemporary half morocco gilt, by Maclehose of Glasgow, t.e.g., slightly rubbed, 4to (285 x 220mm.), [1921] (3)Footnotes:Finely presented memorials, written up by their mother, to two Scottish brothers who died within three weeks of each other fighting on different fronts during the First World War. Both were born in Scotland and educated at Rugby School (where they served in the cadets). The youngest, Eric, (born 1894), joined the 5th Highland Light Infantry on leaving school and was mobilized for action on 5 August 1914, the day after war was declared. His letters home, at times sent almost daily, provide a vivid account of his war from departure at Devonport Docks aboard the Transylvania (2 June 1915), to Malta, action in Gallipoli, transfer to Egypt (action and hospitalisation), to Palestine where - a few weeks after jokingly asking his mother 'Is Haggis postable?' for Christmas - he noted in his last letter on 4 November 1917 'Dear Mother... The war has started again here, but we are entirely out of it... in fact enjoying bathes in the sea!' Just four days later he died in combat, battling with the Highlanders for a Ridge, 'taken and re-taken four times, and it was in one of these advances that Eric was killed, I think by a machine gun' according to a note from a Captain of his company. He was first buried at the village of Deir Sineid, prior to removal to the Military Cemetery at Gaza. Handsomely presented in a Riviere binding, the album includes upwards of 100 photographs, some depicting Townsend, the Highlanders, street scenes and antiquities.Eric's elder brother Ronald (born 1889) had emigrated to Canada in 1913, but at the outbreak of war jointed the 50th Gordon Highlanders. Due to his training in accountancy he was assigned to a desk-bound position at the Pay Office to the Canadian Expeditionary Force. Desperate to take a more active role in the war (he pictured a situation that when asked by his children what he had done in the war his reply would be 'Signed Cheques!'), he resigned in April 1917, gained his 'Wings' with the Royal Air Force by mid-June, and was sent in mid-October to France. Here, just 22 days after the death of his brother Eric in Palestine, his aeroplane was hit 'when leading a flight over the enemy's line at Lesdain, near Cambrai... and he made the supreme sacrifice'. A memorial plaque to the brothers is to be found at St. Ninian's Church, Troon, Argyll.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

In the year of our letter, not only did he embark on an ambitious project to landscape the grounds to include the lily ponds that he would so famously depict in later life, Monet also completed his series of paintings of Rouen Cathedral. Helleu's own work would be strongly influenced by his close friendship with Monet, whom he met at the Second Impressionist Exhibition of 1876. At the time this invitation was issued, Helleu was a highly-regarded society portrait painter at home in the elite cultural and literary salons of Paris, counting Marcel Proust and his patron and biographer Robert de Montesquiou amongst his friends.Provenance: Baron Max Fould-Springer (1906-1999); by descent to his nephew the author David Pryce-Jones.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Strahan and T. Cadell,, 1776-1787-1788Footnotes:GIBBON'S MASTERPIECE OF ENGLISH LETERATURE - EXTREMELY RARE SET, UNTRIMMED, UNPRESSED AND UNREPAIRED IN THE ORIGINAL BOARDS. The vast majority of copies were rebound in leather, either soon after or more commonly in the nineteenth century, so to find such a set, with full margins and free of any sophistication, is almost without precedent - the survival of three of the fragile paper backstrips is particularly remarkable. The only two entries for sets in original boards listed on ABPC since 1995 are in fact for the same rebacked set, with volume 1 variously described as second state (Christies, 2001, sold for $65,000) and first state (Sotheby's, 2004, £40,000).The printing history of Decline and Fall led to various combinations of editions and printings being assembled as sets. 500 copies of volume one were initially printed, and a further 500 were ordered before the day of publication, 17 February 1776. The two printings were issued simultaneously and sold out in two weeks. The present set is very unusual in so far as volume one is a first edition, whereas it is much more common, for obvious reasons, to find second editions of the first volume in combination with first editions of the others. Volumes 2 and 3 in the present set were reissued without the other volumes in 1787, and have their own separate entry on ESTC. The portrait frontispiece found in many sets is therefore not called for here as it was issued with the first edition of volume two, along with the 12 pages of contents.Provenance: Countess of Hopetoun (Elizabeth Hope-Johnstone, née Carnegie), late eighteenth century bookplates; private UK 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
