Watts (George Frederic, 1817-1904). Memorial volume produced by Christopher Hatton Turner (1873-1940), architect of the Watts Gallery, c.1904. Folio (400 x 270 mm), finely bound by the Guild of Handicraft in green sheep (with their stamp gilt to rear turn-in), pewter panel mounted to front cover with elaborate repoussé decoration comprising outer frame with foliate cornerpieces around central laurel wreath enclosing lettering '1817 Watts 1904', numerous red and orange glass cabochons inset, 100 heavy blue-green wove paper leaves, with various material mounted to rectos and versos including 5 photographs of the interior of the Watts Gallery and 4 portrait photographs of G. F. Watts (probably platinum prints), one of the portraits signed by Watts in black ink ('G. F. Watts, 1902'), another (depicting Watts at work on his statue of Tennyson) annotated on mount 'September 1903, C Turnor phot.', 18 numbered leaves of manuscript notes by Turnor (beginning 'The following imperfect notes of conversations I had with Mr Watts, from 1902 when I first had the privilege of meeting him to 1904 ...'), and about 50 prints of paintings by Watts (mixed media), many leaves left blank, spine slightly sunned, rubbing and some stripping to spine-bands, joints and board-edges (qty: 1) Christopher Hatton Turnor (1873-1940) was a relatively inexperienced young architect living near Compton with his parents when he was selected by Watts to design what became the Watts Gallery; the choice was evidently informed by the artist's Arts and Crafts ethos of working with local craftsmen and designers. Turnor's design was inspired by Voysey and Lutyens, and Watts lived just long enough to see the finished product, dying on 1 July 1904 three months after its completion. Turnor had unexpectedly succeeded to the family estate at Stoke Rochford, Lincolnshire, in 1903, and went on to become an ardent campaigner for rural reform. 'Unlike many of his contemporaries Turnor was not prepared simply to enjoy the social amenities of his new position or to accept the prevailing view that there was little future for British agriculture. Instead, committed to the belief that land ownership was a trust, he helped to pioneer a new and more dynamic approach to estate management' (ODNB).

'Barbara Mary Campbell spent her childhood in London and Jersey. She studied at Clapham School of Art, St Martin's School of Art, and [the] Central School of Arts and Crafts. Her first book, Barbara Lamb, about a lamb who [becomes] an opera singer, was written and drawn as a diversion ... while in the Land Army ...

Rowling (J. K., 1965-). Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, London: Bloomsbury, 2007. 8vo, original pictorial boards, dust jacket, spine rolled, a few marks to front free endpaper, a little spotting to fore margins of pp. 552-65 (also visible on fore edge), dust jacket slightly rumpled along top edge (qty: 1) 'The stairs opened on to a sitting room with a threadbare carpet and a small fireplace, above which hung a single large oil painting of a blonde girl who gazed out at the room with a kind of vacant sweetness ...' Errington A14(a). First edition, Ariana Dumbledore's copy, inscribed by the author 'To Hebe (also known as Ariana!), with lots of love, J K Rowling' on the title-page. The recipient was Hebe Beardsall (1993-), who played Ariana, the sister of Albus Dumbledore, in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (2010-11). Ariana Dumbledore was accidentally killed while trying to intervene in a three-way duel between Albus Dumbledore, their brother Aberforth, and Albus's friend, the future Dark Wizard revolutionary Gellert Grindelwald. Her existence is first revealed in an extract from Rita Skeeter's scurrilous biography of Albus published in the Daily Prophet, which alleges that she was a squib kept hidden by the Dumbledore family out of shame; in fact her magical powers were too powerful for her to control, and in a rage at the age of fourteen she caused an explosion in which the Dumbledores' mother Kendra was killed. Ariana's portrait above the fireplace in the Hog's Head Inn, Hogsmeade, conceals a secret passage back into the Room of Requirement, and it is Ariana who leads Harry, Ron and Hermione back into Hogwarts for the final battle against the forces of Lord Voldemort. Harry Potter was Hebe Beardsall's first screen role. She has recently been cast in the forthcoming instalment of a major space fantasy franchise, and her other roles have included Happy Valley (2016), Victoria (2017) and The Alienist (2020), and feature films How to Talk to Girls at Parties (2017) and Funny Cow (2017). 'Aberforth remained fixed in his chair, gazing at Harry with the eyes that were so extraordinarily like his brother's. At last he cleared his throat, got to his feet, walked around the little table and approached the portrait of Ariana. ''You know what to do,'' he said.'
