John Alexander Harvie-Brown (edited): '[A Vertebrate Fauna of Scotland]', complete set of 11 volumes in 12, David Douglas [-Oliver and Boyd], 1887-1935, 1st editions, comprising: 'A Vertebrate Fauna of Sutherland, Caithness and West Cromarty', 'A Fauna of The Outer Hebrides', 'The Birds of Iona and Mull', 'A Fauna of The Orkney Islands', 'A Fauna of Argyll and the Inner Hebrides', 'A Fauna of The Moray Basin', 'A Fauna of The Shetland Islands', 'A Fauna of The North West Highlands and Skye', 'A Fauna of The Tay Basin and Strathmore', 'A Fauna of The Tweed Area', 'A Vertebrate Fauna of Forth', all plates as called for, including pictorial title-pages, photogravures, engravings, hand-coloured lithographs after J. G. Keulemans and others, and folding maps, uniform original cloth gilt, generally VGC, first 3 titles spines faded as usual, Argyll & Inner Hebrides with bookplate of John Morell McWilliam (1883-1968), Scottish Ornithologist. This is all that was apparently published of Harvie-Brown's celebrated series. The preface to The Tweed Area states that 'this volume on the Vertebrate Fauna of Scotland brings us within an appreciable distance of the completion of the series, though the areas of Forth and Clyde and Solway still remain to be undertaken'. The Vertebrate Fauna of Forth appeared in 1935, much later than the Tweed volume in 1911, but the projected accounts of the Clyde and Solway areas do not seem to have followed. '[Harvie-Brown's] contributions to ornithological science are literally legion ... His greatest work, however, and the one that will form an imperishable monument to his name, is the series of volumes on the vertebrate fauna of Scotland, most of which were written either by himself, or in collaboration with other ornithologists' (Mullens & Swann).

Sarah Armstrong-Jones (b.1964) Boundaries 2019 Signed verso Oil on canvas 25.5cm x 20cm Horatio's Garden will receive 100% of the proceeds from this lot. The paintings of Sarah Armstrong-Jones have been described by Patrick Kinmonth as "growing like plants flowering, or landscapes excavated over time from remembered, indistinct horizons. Affirmations beyond their limits are deduced from familiar rooms or the arrangement of a few domestic objects: a bowl, fruit, branches, buds. Her work takes us into a profound contemplation of the world she seeks to know and the method she has mastered. Going ever deeper into the nature of paint, where accident, evidence and respect are allowed full sway". Born in London in 1964, Sarah Armstrong-Jones was educated at Camberwell School of Art (where she did a foundation), and at the Royal Academy Schools. She won the Winsor & Newton Prize in 1988, and the Creswick Landscape Prize in 1990. Armstrong-Jones has had regular solo exhibitions at the Redfern Gallery since 1995, and her work has been selected on many occasions for open exhibitions, including the Discerning Eye, Sunday Times Watercolour Competition, as well as the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. Most recently, the Redfern staged a solo show of new paintings and watercolours, over three-quarters of which were sold. Taking inspiration from the landscape around her, the artist is particularly interested in textures - of the Sussex chalk; rock faces of Dunnet Head; and the granite and peat of Caithness - as well as capturing the atmosphere - of rain, mist or sunlight. In the catalogue foreword, William Feaver wrote how "places and things are absorbed into brimming compositions ... realised with such imaginative precision".
