First published in French in 1638 as Perspective Curieuse ou Magie Artificielle, this Latin edition is an expanded version with more illustrations. Niceron was an artist and a Minim friar and was interested in the use of anamorphosis in religious art. In attempting to find a scientific solution to the problems presented by perspective he worked out the geometrical algorithms for producing anamorphic art. Several of the plates depict artists using perspective machines for painting murals and plate 2 includes an early illustration of a camera obscura.

Churchill (Sir Winston Spencer).- [Mellish (Florence Vivienne, photographer)] "Vivienne". Photographic portrait of Sir Winston Churchill, signed by Churchill on mount 'Winston S. Churchill | 1955', 130 x 160mm, photographer's stamp to verso, small amount of spotting at top edge of mount, framed, [c.1950].⁂ One of Churchill's favourite portraits, which was used for his 1950 election campaign. The photograph was taken by Churchill's daughter Sarah's mother-in-law, 'Vivienne', who was known as the "Grand Old Lady of the Camera", due to her insistence that all subjects come to her studio rather than she to them. Churchill, however, was the exception and during their ten minute session, Vivienne produced nine studies of which this is one. The present photograph belonged to the de Blanck family - Ambassador Count Guillermo de Blanck y Menocal was a friend of Churchill's and his son the artist, Dario de Blanck, was introduced to painting by Churchill. The photograph is accompanied by certificate of authentication from reputable autograph expert Garry King (Autographica Ltd). The lot also includes another signed photograph, of classical guitarist Andrès Segovia, dedicated to Guillermo de Blanck.

The Hoe copy.- De Rossi (Giovanni Gherardo) Pitture di Antonio Allegri detto Il Correggio esistenti in Parma nel Monistero di San Paolo, 3 parts in 1, text in Italian, French and Spanish, 35 stipple-engraved plates, all but one in sepia, by Francesco Rosaspina after Francisco Vieira, some light foxing, later red half morocco over marbled boards, spine gilt in compartments, t.e.g., extremities rubbed, upper joint cracked at foot, [Brooks 774], folio, Parma, Bodoni, 1800.⁂ One of Bodoni's most sophisticated and distinguished works, dedicated to the recently married Louis of Bourbon-Parma and the Infanta Maria Luisa of Spain. The work describes and the plates depict the frescoes by Renaissance painter Correggio in the Monastery of San Paolo, Parma. Although the Duke of Parma approved the project in 1790, the artists were not allowed into the Camera di San Paolo until 1795 where they spent one full day recording the frescoes before their drawings were supposed to be sent to Rome for engraving by Raffaello Sanzio Morghen. Much to the dissatisfaction of Bodoni's patron, Morghen could not undertake the project so Bodoni selected his friend Rosaspina, one of the artists allowed into the Camera in 1795. The resultant work is an exceptional one and this copy comes from the distinguished collection of Robert Hoe, with his bookplate and that of his son Arthur.
