Particularly perplexing is Mary Rundal's Domestic Cookery Book, as neither the title nor its author appear to be recorded anywhere. Library Hub does record one copy an edition of Gordon's New Domestic Cookery (Dublin, 1849), and two editions of The New London Cookery (Joseph Smith, 1835 and c.1840). Although these editions give 'A Lady' as the author rather than 'S.W'., the one dated 1835 matches the collation of our work, so we can presume they are one and the same, although earlier editions have also been attributed to Esther Copley.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

Bitting pp.78-79; Maclean pp.23-24; Oxford p.122-123, all describing other editions], 12mo, F. Newbery, [c.1775-1780]Footnotes:UNRECORDED EARLY EDITION OF THIS POPULAR AND INFLUENTIAL COOKBOOK, THE AUTHOR'S ONLY PUBLICATION. Little is known of Susannah Carter, other than the fact that she hailed from Clerkenwell as mentioned on the title-page. The work was first published in 1765 by Francis Newbery in London, and some two or three years later by James Hoey in Dublin (Maclean located 3 copies of the 1765 edition in America, but none are now listed on ESTC or in auction records). In 1772 the book was reprinted in London and Boston, the American edition being only the second cookbook printed in America, following Eliza Smith's Compleat Housewife (Williamsburg, 1742). Carter went on to become extremely well-known across the Atlantic as subsequent editions were expanded and adapted to include American recipes.The date of the present copy is uncertain. The fact that the imprint is that of 'F. Newbery' indicates that it was printed before Francis Newbery's death in 1780, whereupon his widow Elizabeth carried on the business under the imprint 'E. Newbery'. However, the editions prior to and including a Dublin edition of around 1775 comprise 168 or 180 pages, whereas ours, and later editions, were expanded to 192 pages. All of this would tend to suggest that our copy is dated between 1775 and 1780. As no collation has been found, it is not clear if there should be only one plate in this copy but other editions generally have two.Provenance: 'Catherine Jones, her book 1785', inscription on front paste-down; manuscript recipes in a nineteenth century hand below inscription and on rear free endpaper; Cardiff Public Libraries, old ink stamps on paste-downs and on verso of title (with shelf number in ink).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

The very elaborate perspective figures were designed by the master goldsmith Hans or Johannes Lencker (1523-1585), and engraved by his colleague Matthias Zündt. Lencker was the eldest of a dynasty of goldsmiths and engravers from Nuremberg. He worked in many fields, including the design of tableware, glass cutting and the art of bookbinding, helping to inspire a whole generation of 'perspective' artists, including the renowned Jamnitzer.The Perspectiva literaria is extremely scarce, only two or three copies recorded as having sold at auction in the post-war period. USTC and World Cat locate a total of 8 copies, all in European institutions, mostly in Germany. The present copy, uniquely hand-coloured, contains 21 plates (of 22, a geometric figure plate is missing), comprising a frontispiece using the letters of the word 'perspectiva', 12 plates of intricate letters of the alphabet in various perspective arrangements, and 8 plates of geometric figures.

* AVRIL PATON (SCOTTISH b 1941), TOPPING OUT DAY (c1995) watercolour on paper 80cm x 100cm Framed and under glass. Label verso: Gatehouse Gallery, Rouken Glen Road, Giffnock, where acquired by the vendor. Note: a remarkably rare work by Avril Paton, the artist who painted "Windows in the West", one of Scotland's best known and most popular contemporary paintings which was acquired for the nation by the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art and is currently on display at Kelvingrove Gallery, Glasgow. There has been much written about Paton's work from the 1990's explaining the meticulous detail and the many months it took to complete a single picture. Paton eventually moved on to a more spontaneous abstract style of work and consequently her paintings from the 1990's are a distinct isolated body of work and the examples from this time are few and rarely, if ever, appear at auction. Avril Paton's work from this period has been studied as part of the curriculum for many of the nation's youth and there are talks and discussions on YouTube which include "Topping Out Day". Private collection, England.

* JAMES ORR (SCOTTISH 1931 - 2019), QUIET DAY AT THE BEACH oil on board, signed 30cm x 35cm Framed Label verso: Gatehouse Gallery, Giffnock. Inscribed with title, artist's name and dated 1999.

Renowned for his kindness and generosity, he also nurtured many budding artists and gave his time generously through artist demonstrations for many art clubs across Scotland.

* PETER GRAHAM ROI (SCOTTISH b 1959), HONFLEUR, FRANCE oil on canvas, signed 60cm x 65cm Framed. Note: Peter Graham was born in Glasgow in 1959. He attended the Glasgow School of Art, graduating in 1980. In 2000 Peter was elected to Full Membership of The Royal Institute of Oil Painters, R.O.I. Peter has earned a reputation as one of Britain’s most gifted and distinctive Modern Colourists. His work is often related to the Modern Scottish School but Peter has a flamboyant style which is unique, – detailed brush work combined with loose fluid strokes creating vibrant contrasts of pure colour, line and tone. In the winter months within his studio he delves deeply into the still life genre, creating some of his most stunning compositions, always with colour the dominant theme but reflecting the heightened sense of atmosphere and passion that comes directly from painting in the beauty of the Mediterranean. Recently, hugely successful exhibitions in London have allowed Peter to take on extra studio space and his work is being enthusiastically exhibited by many of the UK's most prestigious galleries. Impressive recent auction prices include a slightly smaller example "Decorations with Flowers" which was sold at McTear's in The Scottish Contemporary Art Auction for £2800 (lot 580, 26th May 2019).

* BANKSY (BRITISH b 1974), RAT RADAR DIRTY FUNKER (BROWN) screenprint on record sleeve, vinyl record housed inside sleeve 30.5cm x 30.5cm Framed and under glass. Note: Banksy is a contemporary British street artist, activist, and film director who has maintained an anonymity, despite his international fame. Although details of the artist’s life are largely unknown, it is thought that Banksy was born in Bristol, c. 1974, and began his career as a graffiti artist in the city in the 1990s. His work traditionally acts a form of cultural criticism; a political and social commentary through satirical street art and stencilled works. His work, which mysteriously appears on location, combines graffiti and epigrams and has been featured publicly on streets, walls, and bridges of major cities throughout the world. Although Banksy no longer sells photographs or reproductions of his street graffiti, his public installation pieces are regularly offered for sale, even if it means removing the wall they were painted on. A small number of Banksy's works are also officially, non-publicly, sold through Pest Control, a handling service acting on behalf of Banksy. Banksy's documentary film Exit Through the Gift Shop (2010) debuted at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival and he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary the following year. Banksy continues to create work worldwide, winning awards and notoriety. He was awarded Person of the Year at the 2014 Webby Awards and, in 2015, opened Dismaland Bemusement Park, a temporary art exhibition that functioned as a theme park and included collaborations with fellow artists. One of the artist's most famous stunts was his shredded painting in 2018. As a painting by Banksy was sold at auction for $1.4 million, a mechanism was triggered that caused the artwork to partially shred, resulting in a new piece titled Love in the Bin (2018).
