Danad Design (1958-1962) and Tom Adams (American, 1926-2019)Compass Table, circa 1960 laminate table top designed by Tom Adams and made by DANAD Design, with original metal frame92cm (36 1/4in) long, 92cm (36 1/4in) wide, 40cm (15 3/4in) highUniqueFootnotes:ProvenanceThe DANAD Design ArchiveThe original surface art design by Tom Adams is based on an 18th Century Compass Rose design.DANAD Design (1958-1962) was set up in 1958 by a loose collective of six artists who lived in a dilapidated Georgian country house in Hertfordshire called Marden Hill. The collective's name derived, eponymously, from Barry Daniels and Tom Adams. Together with Peter Blake, Robyn Denny, Bernard Cohen and Edward Wright, as well as the architects Colin Huntley and Peter Adams, the artists worked collaboratively to cross the boundaries between art and design. Heralded as artistic pioneers, their use of everyday objects as their new platform to exhibit their art, is considered widely by many art historians to be one of the defining features of Pop Art. By featuring designs by artists on tables intended for everyday use they strove to bring art into the everyday, just as Pop Art deemed that almost anything from everyday life - such as cuttings from newspapers, collage and commercial advertising techniques - could become art.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP Lot 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.

WEATHERLEY (CAPTAIN CECIL POULETT)Manuscript notebook of Captain Cecil Poulett Weatherley (1860-1932), of the Vigilant, describing his circumnavigation of Lake Bangweolo, 1896-1899, comprising detailed notes of compass bearings, longitude and latitude and notes on the geographical features, interspersed with later additional commentary on the land and its people, and illustrated with some thirty-five fine pencil and watercolour maps and drawings, including two portraits ('...from a sketch made in the Vigilant 23-9-98...'), describing his route from the Isthmus of Fungé ('...a stretch of extremely white sand...'), via Kawendé Country ('...beautifully wooded with tall Mipundu trees...'), Kirui Island ('...out and away, the best wooded of the islands...'), N'Kanga and Kasanga Marshes ('...High papyrus with water ways for canoes...'), Bemba Chifunawuli ('...discovered by me in 1896...'), Luapula ('...a delightful little river...'), Mumbotuta Falls ('...the sight of the Luapula), Mwyangashé River ('...most disappointing in every way...'), Wengé Hills ('...High walls of red sandstone...'), and Mweru, ending by apologising for gaps in the account as he had mislaid the piece of paper on which he wrote his calculations, with extensive notes on the names of African families and the correct pronunciation of the same, c.315 pages, in ink, dust-staining and marks with some water staining, original ruled vellum boards, faded notes in ink and pencil on front board, worn, binding loose, small 4to (200 x 135mm.), [c.1899]Footnotes:'A THUNDERING CHAOS OF GREAT WAVES, HEAPED UP MASSES OF FOAM AND CLOUDS OF SPRAY': POULETT WEATHERLEY'S NOTES ON THE CIRCUMNAVIGATION OF LAKE BANWEOLO.A distinguished and highly respected traveller, Captain Weatherley presented his paper on the 'Circumnavigation of Lake Banweolo' to the Royal Geographical Society in 1898, and an account of the evening was published in the Geographical Journal (vol. XII), that same year. References in the present notebook to his return to the area in 1899 and an apology for losing his notes, would indicate that it was therefore completed in the early years of the twentieth century. Interspersed between the technical data, Weatherley's commentary adds much local colour and reveals a great understanding of and sympathy for the local people, something for which he was renowned. '...The natives in this part... have a love for names - no puddle, no scrap of mud, no tiny collection of reeds of papyrus is too insignificant... This plethora of names gave me much trouble...', he writes - '...The Wéna Kawendé are undoubtedly the best lot of natives on the coast... Their rightful Chief Kawongo is an extremely nice man in many ways but is unfortunately greatly addicted to the undue consumption of Wengura... or native beer...'. There is much on the practice of tattooing by various tribes - '...The Wéna Kawendé file both upper and lower front teeth into sharp points – they tattoo... a line of dots from below each ear to the shoulder and one down the nape of the neck... dots made by a needle (native, which is about twice as thick as a big darning needle... and charcoal rubbed in...' – with other observations such as the consumption of hemp '...the natives are all nerves and fit for nothing...', and evocative descriptions of the landscape - '...As the Vigilant was pushed through it, myriads of tiny bubbles rose up through the mud and exploded on reaching the surface with a hissing sound, emitting a vile stench...'. His sympathy for the locals does not, however, extend to his European predecessors with critical mention here of fellow-explorers Victor Giraud and Alfred Sharpe (whose findings he found '...perfectly inexplicable...').In 1896 Weatherley visited the site of David Livingstone's memorial at Chitambo and it was as a result of his report on the decayed state of the tree marking the spot that forced the R.G.S. to remove the inscribed portion and erect an obelisk as a more lasting memorial (Desmond Clark, J. David Livingstone Memorial at Chitambo's, online article). After his circumnavigation he spent much time in Africa and was noted hunting lions in the Serengeti with Prince Ladislas Radizwill in 1911. In 1914 he was said to be in German East Africa mapping for the British Government. His illustrated diaries of these journeys, Volume 1 (October 1889 to January 1899) and Volume 2 (June to July 1898 and January to March 1899) are held by the R.G.S. (ref. PWE), probably donated by his friend Leslie Sweet, who provided the steel boat, the Vigilant, which enabled Weatherley to undertake his own journey, and who was present at the R.G.S. presentation in 1898. The present notebook derives from the remains of the private library of Ferdinand Stephen Joelson (1893-1979), the bulk of whose collection was sold in these rooms, 19 January 1995. Joelson was a respected writer, broadcaster and publisher on African affairs, and was founder and, for 42 years, editor of the weekly newspaper East Africa & Rhodesia. His papers are held at the Beinecke Library, Yale University (Gen. Mss 634), Rhodes House Library, Oxford and the Bodleian. Provenance: Cecil Poulett Wetherley (1860-1932); Ferdinand Stephen Joelson (1893-1979) of Chetton Grange, Shropshire; and thence by descent to the present owner.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
