In 1950 the organisers of the Festival of Britain approached him to see if he might create a real-life version of one of his cartoons. The automaton became one of the main attractions at the Festival and made his reputation as a maker of mechanical 'Things'. This led both to numerous commissions such as the present sculpture, and his 'thingamabobs' created for the 1968 movie Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.This sculpture was commissioned in 1964 by a Cheshire engineering company, PI Castings, and delivered in 1965.The lot includes 3 original artworks by Emett:(i) Maquette of a brochure entitled 'The Secret of PI Casting Revealed by Emett' (ink and white paint on blue paper, 285 x 140mm.);(ii) Ink designs for four of the spinning activities within the factory: 'Pouring centrifugally', 'Assembling wax patterns', 'Investing the mould' and 'Final inspection', together on one sheet of artists' board (sheet 285 x 390mm.);(iii) Ink sketch on artists' board for an invitation 'to see Emett's newest un-setpiece, replete with movements, & fraught with messages', with areas of blue wash and overlaying sheet with additional sketch of 'SweetiePI', PI Castings' imaginary work cat (sheet 285 x 390mm.).Also included in the lot is a small archive of correspondence between PI Castings (carbon copies) and Mary Emett as her husband's business manager (mostly typed letters signed, a handful autograph). In one, dated 18 January 1967, she reports that they have been asked 'to work with the Mary Poppins creative team on a new musical with Dick Van Dyke in the lead (a film) of a story for children by Ian Fleming, called Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The hero is a failed inventor and Rowland is to make all his inventions!'Please note that whilst this automaton appears to be fully functioning, some electrical and mechanical parts may not operate or may not comply with current statutory requirements. You should not assume that electrical items designed to operate on mains electricity will be suitable for connection to the mains electricity supply and you should obtain a report from a qualified electrician on their status before doing so. Such items which are unsuitable for connection are sold as items of interest for display purposes only. If you yourself do not have expertise regarding a lot, you should consult someone who does to advise you.

It was built by the renowned 18th century architect James Paine (1717-1789) on behalf of John Monckton, 1st Viscount Galway.However following his inheritance of Serlby Hall in 1751, William Monckton-Arundell, 2nd Viscount Galway, set about replacing the original Palladian building. This second architectural project was not completed until 1773, by which time the 3rd Viscount was the principal resident at Serlby. Further alterations and re-modelling, including the extension of the central block on both sides, took place in 1812 following the instructions of the 5th Viscount.In the 20th century Serlby Hall served as an auxiliary hospital during World War I and then as a prisoner of war camp throughout the Second World War. In 1971 Charlotte, who was the daughter of the 9th Viscount Galway, inherited the estate upon the latter's death and made the decision to sell Serlby. Thus the remaining contents were sold at auction the following year while the Hall itself was purchased privately in 1981.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP Lots denoted with a 'TP' 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.
