Galliae Tabule Geographicae . This title page is from the first edition of the Galliae (France) volume of Gerard Mercator`s edition of Ptolemy`s Geographia. The beautifully designed sheet is in the Mannerist style, composed of elaborate scrolls and volutes which are characteristic of this style, as well as decorative fruits, flowers, birds, and masks. At the top of the rectangular centerpiece is the portrait of a king, possibly representing Charlemagne, who was King of the Franks and Emperor of the Romans. For nearly sixty years, during one of the most important periods in cartographic history, Gerard Mercator was the preeminent cartographer - his name is second only to Ptolemy and is now synonymous with the form of map projection still in use today. He devoted much of his life to his maps of Ptolemy`s Geography. Original color with light toning and soiling that are mostly confined to the blank margins. 8.8"" W x 12.5"" H . Mercator, Gerard . 1585

A New and Accurat Map of the World Drawne According to ye Truest Descriptions Lastest Discoveries & Best Observations yt Have Beene Made by English or Strangers . This desirable and beautiful double-hemispheric world map carries the imprint of George Humble. The map is dated 1626 but it was known to be published through 1632 with this imprint. This map is based on William Grent`s rare, separately issued map of 1625 (Shirley #313). It is considered one of the earliest published world maps to be printed in English, and is the first atlas map to show the cartographic curiosity of California as an island, which persisted for nearly 100 years. It was also one of the first to show the settlement of New Plymouth. The coastline in North America is blank east of California and swings wildly to the west in the northern regions of Canada and Alaska. The Straits of Magellan are inaccurately shown and Tierra de Fuego is left open to the west. The Southerne Unknowne Land shows the large conjectured continent covering much of the southern hemisphere. The map is beautifully engraved and highly detailed throughout. The engraver is unknown but Shirley acknowledges it was most likely Abraham Goos. This highly decorative production is surrounded by two celestial hemispheres, figural allegorical representations of Water, Earth, Air and Fire, plus portraits of Ferdinand Magellan, Oliver vander Noort, Thomas Cavendish and Sir Francis Drake. The corners are filled with an astronomical table, an armillary sphere, and eclipses of the sun and moon. With several lengthy notes including comments on the South Pole and the Straits of Magellan, Sir Francis Drake and others. Related English text on verso is ""The generall Description of the World."" Shirley says this map was not as widely disseminated as those from contemporary Dutch cartographers and was uncommon outside the UK. Consequently its ""rarity value"" continues to increase.See also lot 772 for Rodney Shirley`s excellent reference work on world maps, which discusses this map. A fine impression with attractive old color in the oceans and later coloring in the decorative elements. There is a short, professionally repaired crack near Magellan`s portrait, and additional professional repairs to some small chips and tears confined to the blank margins. 20.4"" W x 15.5"" H .

Ile de la Reunion Colonie Francaise (Ocean Indien) . The island of Reunion is a French Possession in the Indian Ocean between Mauritius and Madagascar. Formerly Ile Bourbon, the island is an important sugar producer and home to one of the most active volcanoes in the world. Its capital St. Denis is clearly delineated on the northwest coast, and all principal harbors are noted around the island. The map is bordered on both sides by very finely engraved depictions of foliage, barrels, fruit, fish, and animals. Oval portrait-medallions of Parny and Bertin, the island`s early governors, are engraved on either side. Text at the bottom provides additional statistical information on the island. Original outline color and a hint of toning along the centerfold. 16.5"" W x 11.1"" H . Levasseur, Victor . 1850

GEORGE RICHMOND, RA (1809-1896) PORTRAIT OF RICHARD HOARE three quarter length in a landscape, his left hand on a blue cap, signed and dated (in gold) 1835, watercolour, 37 x 26cm Provenance: The sitter; thence by descent to his son, William Douro Hoare (1862-1928) and in turn to his daughter Bridget Margaret Hoare who, in 1924 married Francis Savile Crossley, MC, 2nd Baron Somerleyton; their daughter Mary, Mrs William Birkbeck (1926-2014) of Bainton House, Stamford, Lincolnshire. Exhibited: Royal Academy, 1836, No 585. The sitter, Richard Hoare was born in 1824, son of the banker Samuel Hoare (1783-1847) and his wife Louisa née Gurney (1784-1836). She was a daughter of John Gurney a Quaker and partner in Gurney`s bank. She grew up at Earlham Hall, Norwich. Her siblings included the prison reformer Elizabeth Fry (1780-1845) and John Joseph Gurney (1788-1847) the influential and equally committed social reformer. Louisa Hoare held enlightened views on the education of children, which she practiced and published. Wilberforce, Wordsworth and Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton were some of the eminent visitors to the family`s Hampstead home. Richard Hoare, an `India Merchant` married in 1861 Susan Tomkinson and lived at Marden Hill, Hertfordshire and North Lodge, Cromer. He died in 1901. The present early sensitive portrait of the eleven year old Richard Hoare is one of five or six of the Hoares and their children that Richmond painted in 1835-36. The present work is listed in his "Index Catalogue", compiled by Raymond Lister; see his George Richmond, 1981, p161, No 140. ++In fine condition laid down on an old card mount removed from the late 19th c frame for the present sale

† CONRAD FELIXMULLER (1897-1977) PORTRAIT OF MR ROWLAND ABSALOM AT OXHEY GRANGE WITH "GAY DAWN" AND "DINA" signed and dated 1939, 141 x 101cm Gv. no 779 in Felixmuller`s catalogue (Gemaldeverrzeichnis). Provenance: The sitter; thence by descent to the present vendor. Exhibited: Leicester, Leicestershire Museum and Art Gallery, Conrad Felixmuller 1897-1977 Between Politics and the Studio, 17 September to 30 October 1994, Catalogue No.56. The German Expressionist artist Condrad Felix Muller (as he was originally named) was born in Dresden. After training as a painter, the young Felixmuller`s artistic development was rapid and mirrored by an acute political awareness, both in the 1914-18 war when he was a conscientious objector and during the Weimar Republic (1919-1938). Many of his pictures were shown in the 1933 Dresden exhibition of so called decadent art and also later, in the notorious 1937 Munich exhibition of "degenerate" art when 151 of his works were confiscated by the Nazis. Such persecution led him to leave Germany, travelling firstly to Norway and in 1939 to England at the invitation of Hilmar and Gonda von Stamford, nee Neale, whose double portrait (Gv. no 776) he had painted in Berlin in 1938. During the three months he spent in England, staying in Cardiff and London he painted several views of London and two or three portraits, including the present lot, of friends of the Stamfords. Felixmuller`s bravura portrait of Rowland Absalom holding his unsaddled horse `Grey Dawn` is set on the gently sloping parkland of Oxley Grange, his Hertfordshire estate. His black Labrador `Dina` completes the trio. The typical expressive use of several compositional devices result in a striking, dynamic image. This, when combined with the quintessential Englishness of the setting, is highly unusual. The leaden skies is an obvious portent of the imminent outbreak of total war as felt then by all sensible people and is especially poignant being in the hand of an anti-Nazi artist straight from Germany. The portrait also typifies the fully developed cool detachment or `Neue Sachlichkeit` (new objectivity) that marks the culmination of an approach to portraiture that Felixmuller had first experimented with on the late 1920s. To the National Socialists such discernment, with its less obviously distorted and blatantly subversive imagery might seem marginally less repugnant. Felixmuller returned to Berlin and only narrowly escaped with his life, loosing both his work and Berlin studio during the terror that was about to descend. ++In beautifully preserved untouched condition requiring only a light clean, the support not lined, holed, torn or restored, no overpainting, on the original stretchers.

Those which I formerly bought from Rome were a failure upon the whole. Of all the books containing natural history, I recommend to your constant perusal, White’s delightful history of Selborne. This will form your style:- and Montague’s Ornithological dictionary will afford you most excellent matter for that style”, and some articles, posters, pamphlets, correspondence etc. Charles Waterton was born at Walton Hall, Wakefield, Yorkshire and whilst taking charge of his uncle’s estates in British Guiana he described his explorations in Wanderings in South America, first published in 1825 The book inspired the young Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace (Charles Darwin was taught taxidermy by a freed slave, John Edmonstone, who in turn was taught taxidermy by Waterton in British Guiana). He bought back curare, a powerful muscle relaxant (now used in modern anaesthesia), created the world’s first nature reserve at Walton Hall and was an early enviromental campaigner, sucessfully removing the nearby soapworks, as he proved in court that chemicals from the works had polluted the lake and trees on the estate.
