A George III mahogany writing table after a design by Thomas ChippendaleCirca 1760, of rectangular form with canted front angles, with a 'Chinoiserie' blind fretwork frieze incorporating one long drawer, with a baize-lined sliding top inset with an adjustable hinged ratcheted writing surface, enclosing six compartments and a swivel hinged stationery drawer to one side, on twinned columnar front legs and two square section rear legs each headed by interlaced scrolled spandrels, terminating in block feet, on castors, 118cm wide x 66cm deep x 79cm high, (46in wide x 25 1/2in deep x 31in high)Footnotes:The offered lot closely follows a design, originally published in 1754, which was produced by Thomas Chippendale and features in his groundbreaking work, The Gentleman & Cabinet-Maker's Director, No. LXXIII. Although the present lot is virtually identical to this drawing it has not been possible to attribute this table to Chippendale's workshop. This is due to there being no available provenance for the table, combined with an absence of easily identifiable Chippendale characteristics such as S-shaped keyholes, short grain kickers or a thin red wash to give a few relevant examples.Also, because of the huge popularity and influence of all three editions of the 'Director', Chippendale's designs from that publication were widely copied and imitated across Great Britain, particularly during the period 1755-70 making the task of attribution even more arduous.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP Lot will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue. Please note transfer and storage charges will apply to any lots not collected after 14 calendar days from the auction date.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

MIRABILIS LIBER[Mirabilis liber qui prophetias revelationesque... demonstrat], 2 parts in 1 vol., black letter, decorative woodcut initials, first part double column, second part in French, wanting a1, small worm-trail in inner margins of gatherings e-g, some old ink notes on fly-leaf and marginalia on g8-h1, contemporary reversed pigskin, blind rule borders and small centrepiece on sides, chips to spine and one corner of upper cover [ISTC im00615300; Copinger 3573; Moreau III, 1273], Paris, [Jean II du Pré & Ambroise Girault, c.1527]Footnotes:Rare early edition, only one copy listed on ISTC and USTC. The first part includes the prophecies of Ben Echoli, Saint Brigitte of Sweden, Savonarola and others, and was thought to contain references predicting the rise of fascism in Italy and Germany; the second part in French became popular through its perceived allusions to the French revolution.Provenance: Lots 137-170 are the property of Mario Gregorio, a recognised authority on Nostradamus, the author of four books on the subject, and former Archivist of the International Nostradamus Research Group.Mario developed an interest in the prophecies of Nostradamus at an early age, and after arriving from his native Veneto in the 1990s, he began to get heavily involved in collecting, researching and comparing the many variant editions, piracies and spurious works. The result is the website of this self-styled 'crazy collector of old books about renaissance prophecies', an extraordinary resource with thousands of uploaded images not only of the books in his own collection, but also those of many others.Many of the books in the present sale were bought in 2007 at the New York sales of Daniel Ruzo de los Heros (1900-1991), noted Peruvian archaeologist, poet, cryptographer and prophet. Ruzo was perhaps the last of the great Nostradamus collectors, as Mario Gregorio would modestly admit, but Mario now feels the time is right to give younger collectors, researchers and institutions the opportunity to continue his work.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

SHAW (GEORGE BERNARD)Autograph letter signed ('G. Bernard Shaw'), to F.V. Conolly, an English correspondent of the American Press Association, on the reverse of Conolly's typed request for his views on the suitability of black actors to perform serious theatre such as Shakespeare and Shaw rather than just comedy roles ('...How would a negress, for instance, depict 'Eliza Doolittle'...'), Shaw responding 'Negroes act very well, usually with much more delicacy and grace than white actors... The notion that there is anything funny in a man or woman being black is as childish as the notion that there is anything funny in being white... The only difficulty about performances of Shakespear by negroes is that his characters are white Europeans, except for Othello & the Prince of Morocco, neither of whom are negroes. But as English actors have never been prevented from playing Romeo & Juliet by the fact that they are not Italians... so a performance by a black company would be just as enjoyable as a performance by a white one if the acting were equally good...', concluding that '...the chances are that it would be better...', 1 page, foxing and light dust-staining, two filing holes not affecting text, 4to (254 x 203mm.), Parknasilla, Kenmare, Co. Kerry, 18 July 1919Footnotes:'NEGROES ACT VERY WELL, USUALLY WITH MUCH MORE DELICACY AND GRACE THAN WHITE ACTORS': SHAW ON 'COLOUR-BLIND' CASTING IN THE THEATRE. This fine defence of the dignity of black actors appears to have been written in connection with a discussion of 'Coloured Artistes on the Screen' in The Kinematograph and Lantern Weekly, published in 1919 and prompted by the success of the race movie industry and the Chicago-based slapstick 'Ebony Films', to which Shaw's correspondent refers (see Stephen Bourne, Black in the British Frame, 2005, Appendix I, p.223).For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

MORE (THOMAS)A Frutefull Pleasaunt, & Wittie Worke, of the Beste State of a Publique Weale, and of the Newe Yle, called Utopia... translated into Englishe by Raphe Robynson, second edition in English, undetermined state, black letter, ornamental initials, occasional light soiling and light dampstaining but mostly clean and fresh, lacks the final 5 unnumbered leaves with colophon, contemporary blind-panelled calf, restored with some cracks, wear to lower cover and loss to spine [ESTC S112887 or S103392; Pforzheimer 740], small 8vo (140 x 95mm.), [Richard Tottel for] Abraham Vele, dwellinge in Pauls churchyarde, at the signe of the Lambe, [1556]Footnotes:THE SECOND ENGLISH EDITION OF MORE'S VISIONARY MASTERPIECE, IN A CONTEMPORARY BINDING. Utopia, described in Printing and the Mind of Man as a 'tract for the times', was written in Latin for the benefit of the literati and first published in Louvain in 1516. However, it wasn't until 1551, sixteen years after More's execution, that it was first published in England by Abraham Vele, in a translation by Ralph Robinson. This second edition followed five years later, in the year of Cranmer's execution, and was the one William Morris used for the Kelmscott Press printing. Although the present copy lacks the last five unnumbered leaves (containing dedications and a supplementary verse), it is extremely rare in a contemporary binding, the only other example listed in auction records being a copy bound in vellum which was sold at Bonhams New York on 22 September 2015 ($38,000).The contemporary binder's waste used in this copy provide a tantalising glimpse into the world of the London printing and binding trade. They comprise fragments of an early manuscript on vellum, along with two printed pages (used as front flyleaves and rear pastedown) which appear to be trial or rejected sheets from Girolamo Ruscelli's The Secretes of the Reverende Maister Alexis of Piemount Containyng Excellent Remedies against Divers Diseases, Woundes, and other Accidents (specifically leaves B3 & 4 in the 'First booke of Secretes'), printed 'by John Kingstone for Nicolas Inglande, dwellinge in Poules churchyarde, 1558'. One can only speculate how the sheets may have found their way from one St Paul's printer to the other's shop, or to the binder.Provenance: Private collection, UK.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

Morrison, Perth, sides with single gilt rule and multiple ornamental blind-tooled borders, gilt- and blind-tooled spines, g.e., 8vo, Edinburgh, Archibald Constable, 1820Footnotes:'MY POETICAL TRIFLES... A SLIGHT TESTIMONY OF THE AUTHORS GRATITUDE' - A FINE SET OF SCOTT'S POETICAL WORKS GIVEN TO HIS DOCTOR FOLLOWING RECOVERY.In June of 1819 Scott was suffering very badly with gallstones and his life was even thought to be in danger. But following the calomel treatment prescribed by Dr William Dick (of the East India Company), he gradually recovered, and in a letter to Dick dated 6 August 1819, held by the National Library of Scotland, Scott expresses his gratitude and mentions that he will set aside a set of his forthcoming Poetical Works by way of thanks: 'As to your experience and skill I owe in a great measure my present recoverd state of health I can no longer delay intruding upon you my best and most grateful thanks... I am not only recoverd from the fits of the cramp but am altogether a great deal better than I have been for many years... The Booksellers are making at present a full collection of my poetical trifles as it is not likely that I shall ever again be troublesome to the world in that way. They will be ready I suppose in winter when I will bespeak place for a set of them in your book-room, as a slight testimony of the authors gratitude. Believe me dear Sir Your truly obliged And now convalescent patient Walter Scott'. By the end of the year Scott was fully recovered and Ivanhoe had just been published. On 29 January 1820, the author wrote to thank Dick once again, referring to the doctor's 'acceptance of the volumes'.Provenance: Dr William Dick, inscription on half-title recording the gift from Walter Scott; his son, Robert Henry Dick, Tullimet (Perthshire), bookplate in each volume.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

The colophon states that the work was limited to 300 copies, but it seems possible that the full print run was not issued. The Indian author, Mawjee Purshotam Mawujee, proudly notes in the preface that 'this work has been wholly executed and finished in this country, in the face of several unforeseen difficulties, and that, too, within a limited time'. Published in Bombay, the work was executed in the grand scale expected of such grandiose Durbar 'Princely Portrait' celebratory volumes, the portraits mounted on thick paper, and bound in a gilt-stamped binding, but it is noticeable that the work included, alongside the most major rulers, many minor rulers and regional zamindars not usually represented. The author acknowledges the assistance of 'political officers' who helped source the photographs and historical accounts of these, whilst other images are reproduced from famous photographic studios, including Herzog and Higgins, Bourne and Shepherd, F. Bremner, and Wiele & Klein.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
