McWilliam" by Denise Ferran and Valerie Holmen 2012, Cat. No. 141, p.120 Girl Standing II is part of a series of sculptures made by McWilliam in the mid 1950s of figurative works given recognisable names, e.g. "The Sisters", "Blind Man", "Boy", but made abstract in their elongated bodies and simplification of form. Inspired by his time spent in India during the Second World War, the sculptor used the technique of isolating elements of the body and allowing the viewer to fill in the rest of the details themselves. In this sculpture, the head is emphasized while brief details sketch out the rest of the figure as a girl. Her open stance with head raised and arms bent but outstretched at her side, and the textured bronze surface, were further developed by McWilliam when he was commissioned to make the large public sculpture "Princess Macha".

TWO FINE 16 BORE SILVER-MOUNTED FLINTLOCK SPORTING GUNS MADE FOR PRINCE FREDERICK OF BADEN (1756-1817) BY DURS EGG, LONDON, LONDON SILVER MARK 1789, MAKER`S MARK M.B. almost forming a pair, with browned twist barrels of Spanish form, fitted with silver `spider` fore-sights, chiselled with foliage and engraved at the medians, octagonal breeches stamped with the gold-lined barrelsmith`s mark and three gold-lined fleur-de-lys, stamped with London proof marks beneath, inlaid with a pair of gold lines and gold lined vents, engraved case-hardened tangs incorporating the back-sights, signed engraved stepped case-hardened locks decorated with game birds on the tails, a bouquet and a sunburst behind the pans, fitted with engraved case-hardened cocks, semi-rainproof gold-lined pans, steels with rollers and blued springs, figured walnut half-stocks impressed `41` and `42`, carved with a bouquet behind the tangs, the grips cut with characteristic pineapple chequering, full silver mounts comprising engraved side nail washers, trigger-guards engraved with differing scenes involving hounds on the bows and pineapple finials, numbered butt-plates with further game scenes, rear ramrod-pipes, engraved barrel bolt escutcheons, and escutcheons engraved with the crowned owner`s initial `F` enclosed by the motto of the Polish Order of the White Eagle, Pro Fide Rege et Lege, browned steel ramrod-pipes, sling swivels, each with its horn-tipped ramrod, and with much original finish throughout 96.2 cm; 37 7/8 in and 91.2 cm; 36 in barrels Prince Frederick of Baden (1756-1817) was the second son of Charles-Frederick, Margrave of Baden (1728-1811) by his first wife, Caroline-Louise (1723-1783), only daughter of Louis VIII, Landgrave of Hesse-Darmstadt (1691-1768). Prince Frederick was created a knight of the Polish Order of the White Eagle on 5th September 1772. In 1791 Prince Frederick married Princess Christiane-Louise (1776-1829), eldest daughter of Prince Frederick Augustus of Nassau-Usingen (1738-1816); there were no issue of the marriage. In 1803, when his father was raised to the rank of Elector, Prince Frederick and his younger brother, Prince Louis, became Margraves of Baden. The execution of the engraving and the design of the crown, that of a British monarch and not of a prince of Baden, denotes that the escutcheons were engraved in Britain, almost certainly by the maker. Durs Egg, the son of the gunmaker Leonz, was born in Switzerland in 1748. After a short stay in Paris he came to London and worked for John Twigg at 132 Strand. He was gunmaker to George IV and the Duke of York. He became blind in 1822 and died in 1831. A silver-mounted breech-loading Ferguson rifle by this maker is preserved in the Royal Collection at Windsor Castle. The Royal Collection also includes two very similar guns to the present by this maker, see H. L. Blackmore 1968, (L159, p. 31; L174, p. 34).

Cervantes ( Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra); illustrated by Gustave Dore The History of Don Quixote [de la Mancha] ([1860s]) 300 x 260 x 72; weight 3.5 kg The English text of this single-volume Don Quixote was edited by J W Clark from the originals of Motteau and Jarvis. The volume includes a short biography of Cervantes by T Teignmouth Shore. This edition is famous for Gustave Dore`s engravings. Dore was the leading artist in this genre of his day. There are 118 of his inserted full-page single-sided plates as well as numerous other Dore illustrations in the text. The original tan crushed morocco boards, with gilt-tooled designs and lettering to the upper panel and spine, have been strengthened with matching Skivertex, with the back-strip relaid on the new spine.

Vanderkemp and Philip, and other pioneer missionaries who predated Mr. Moffat. The volume gives a valuable account of mission work among the Bechuanas, with notes on the customs of the natives, and a description of the earlier travels of the author. There are some particulars concerning Dr Andrew Smith`s expedition into the interior in 1835, and there is an ample account of the labours of the various missionary societies engaged amongst the Bechuanas, Matabeles, Basutos and other races at this period`. The coloured frontispiece of the Kuruman Station is one of very few illustrations printed by the Baxter process in books of African interest. This plate was also sold separately as a print to raise funds for the work of the mission. Fair London John Snow 1842 Reserve: $100 Click here to view further details and to bid

Fouche, Leo (editor); (English translation by A C Paterson) The Diary of Adam Tas 1705-1706 (Dutch and English). With an enquiry into the complaints of the Colonists against the Governor, Willem Adriaan van der Stel (1914) 230 x 155 x 40 Adam Tas`s original diary is lost, but two partial copies exist. The first of these, which had been in the Government Archives in the Hague since 1706, covered the two months from 13 June to 14 August 1705. The second copy, which was found in Cape Town only three years before Fouche`s book was published, included a duplication of most of the Hague MS as well as most of December 1705 and January and February 1706. The Trustees of the South African Library, where the second copy was found, commissioned Professor Fouche to prepare an edition of the diary for the press. They agreed that a discussion of the troubles and disputes in which Tas was involved should also appear; this material, though included as an appendix, was longer than the transcript of the diary. In his Preface, Fouche notes: `It was the wish of the Trustees that the edition should include an English translation of the Diary, in the interests of those to whom the original must otherwise have remained a sealed book.` The translator of the diary, as well as the introduction and appendix, was Professor Patterson, a colleague of Fouche`s at the Transvaal University College, Pretoria. It says much for the quality of Fouche`s and Patterson`s work and the speed with which the job was completed - when every communication and proof had to travel by train or ship - that the editing, translation, printing and publishing was completed in less than three years, with the South African Library a thousand miles from the editor, and the printer and publisher another seven thousand miles away. All involved contributed to a great book on an inspiring chapter in the history of the Cape, when the power of Adam Tas`s pen - he was imprisoned for 13 months before being vindicated - led to the toppling of Willem Adriaan van der Stel. So important a part of early South African history was Tas`s diary considered that the Van Riebeeck Society selected it in 1970 to inaugurate its second series, when it was newly edited and translated. Red cloth-boards, blind embossed to the upper panel and gilt lettered to the spine; plain maroon endpapers; xlvii + 366 pp of introduction, text and index; Dutch on the left, English on the right; and two maps - a monochrome map as the frontispiece and a two-colour folding relief map at the back. The spine of this copy is lightly sunned and the top edges are soft. `Paarl Gymnasium` is gilt embossed on the upper panel and the remains of a Gymnasium label are on the front free endpaper. The binding is tight. The top page edge is foxed and there is a small brown stain near the front of the bottom page edge. With no other defects, this remains a handsome copy of a valuable book.
