Lot 428
Europe ([Europa Regina]), Munster, Cosmographia, Basel, ca. 1588. 6.5 x 10”. (HC) This is one of the most famous of cartographic oddities, showing Europe in the shape of a woman. The representation of Europa Regina or Queen of the World was first drawn by Jonannes Bucius in 1537. This simplified version appeared in several editions of Munster`s Cosmography from 1580 onwards. West is shown at top with Spain forming the crown and head, France and Germany the neck and bust, Bohemia the heart, Italy the left arm holding an orb (Sicily) and Denmark the right arm holding a scepter with Britain as the flag. The remainder of the figure is a flowing robe with Greece and Russia at the feet. It has been argued that instead of a woman, the map represents Charles V of Spain, modeling a Europe that had Spain as its crown, or that it symbolizes a Habsburg-dominated Europe. Whatever the source, this is an extraordinary example of the art of mapmaking. German text on verso. Ref: Tooley (MCC-1) no.6, Plt. V; Manasek no.3.21. Light show-through of text on verso and marginal soiling. (+B)

Lot 798
*Ireland, Orange Association, Silver Medal, 1798, by W Mossop, laureate and armoured bust of William III left, The Glorious & Immortal Memory 1690 around, the reverse Royal arms and supporters, 34mm, broken suspension, scratches to obverse, good very fine (probably a later striking) The Loyal Orange Institution was founded after the Battle of the Diamond on 21st September 1795, a skirmish between the Roman Catholic Defenders and the Protesants. When the battle ended the Protestants formed a circle and joined hands and declared their brotherhood in loyalty to the Crown, the country and the Reformed religion. The first Orange parades were held in 1796 and in 1798 a large parade was held at Lurgan. It was after quashing the Rebellion in 1798, when Orangemen sided with the crown, that the English government decided to unite the London and Dublin governments, though this decision was deeply resented by most Orangemen.

Å Ronald Cameron, born 1930 The Diver bronze signed R Cameron variegated brown patination 210cm.; 83ins high This lot is sold with a certificate of authenticity signed by the sculptor stating that it is number 4 out of an edition of 4. Ronald Cameron was born in London in 1930 and studied at the Camberwell College of Art from 1947- 53. After working as a graphic artist he was asked to make the TV puppets for Gerry Anderson’s films of Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and Joe 90, producing 60 heads in all. Commissions for soldiers and farm animals followed for Britain’s and Airfix, which in turn lead to work modelling miniature figures as promotional gifts for companies such as Kelloggs and Shell Oil, together with sports trophies for events like Batsman of the Year, won by Clive Lord and the Professional Snooker championship won by Steve Davis. Commercial success meant that in the 1980’s he was able to concentrate more on producing larger scale sculpture for commissions and galleries including the Alwin Gallery in Mayfair London, where his work was exhibited alongside works by Elisabeth Frink and Henry Moore. Other exhibitions and commissions included: Whitford Gallery in Duke St., St James’s, London; Three relief figures for the Athens Olympics; Giant Panda collection boxes commissioned by Sir Peter Scott for the World Wildlife Fund; Miniature figures for the Chapman brothers |Holocaust|; A Nude figure which won the sculpture prize in the 2002 Royal Academy Summer Exhibition; An over life size bust of the Lord Chief Justice, Lord Woolf for the National Portrait Gallery
