‡ Henry Moore OM, CH (1898-1986) Hand Relief No. 1 Bronze, with green patination, conceived in 1952 and cast in 1956 in an edition of nine plus one artist's proof 33.5 x 35 cm This work is registered with the Henry Moore Foundation, no. LH 354 Provenance: Either Laing Gallery, Toronto or Marlborough Gallery, Montreal; where purchased by Benjamin Luxenberg Q.C., Toronto; by descent to Leon Root, New York Literature: Alan Bowness, ed., Henry Moore, Complete Sculpture, 1949-54, vol. 2, (Lund Humphries, London), no. 354 (another cast illustrated but incorrectly labelled as no. 355) According to Moore the present work is a 'study for the hands on a larger work, actually of the King and Queen, 1952/53. When I was making the large version of the King and Queen, and getting to working on the hands in detail, I got a little stuck with them, and contrary to any previous practice, I felt I needed to have a model of a real hand. And so I asked my wife to come into the studio and hold her hand in the position I required - she posed for about a quarter of an hour and then said she couldn't stay any longer as the lunch she was cooking needed her attention. I then asked Mary, my daughter who was six years old, to come and hold her hand in the position I wanted, and in this way I was helped in completing the hands of the full-size sculpture.' (Henry Moore, letter to Allan D. Emil, 21 October 1966, reprinted in Alan Wilkinson (ed.), Henry Moore: Writings and Conversations, Aldershot 2002, p.283)

The work provides 'a valuable record of 170 standard English dishes of the day, accompanied by attractive designs for pie shapes and decorations. The first recipe for puff pastry (identical to the standard commercial product of today) to appear in print is Kidder's' (ODNB). In Old Cook Books: An Illustrated History Eric Quayle devotes several pages to Kidder and his work.Our copy, enriched with some manuscript recipes, is the issue with 2 additional leaves (one of recipes and the plate of 'Lamb Pastey' and 'Wild Boar Pye'). ESTC describes it as 'a reissue of the 1740 edition', but this is almost certanly erroneous since Kidder died in 1739 and a copy sold at auction in 2016 bore an ownership inscription dated 1733/34. Maclean ventures a publication date of around 1725, Bitting slightly earlier.Provenance: Mary Edwards, early ownership signature ('her book') on verso of portrait; Fraser-Hickson Institute, Montreal, faint stamps and inked name on edges (their online sale, 2016).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

BERRY': an extensive and comprehensive volume of culinary, household and medicinal receipts originally from the collection of the renowned Chicago food writer and restauranteur Arnold Shircliffe. A major figure in American food and dining circles, Shircliffe is best known for the Edgewater Beach Hotel Salad Book, published in 1926, and for his large collection of early culinary printed books and manuscripts which was sold after his death in 1952. H. B. Meeks' preface to the sale catalogue describes him as 'an early and avid albeit a well-informed and discriminating collector. His every selection should stand as personally endorsed by one of the great epicures of our day'. His collection of some 14,000 menus was donated to the New York Historical Society.Together with the sheer number and variety of receipts, what is also striking about this volume is the inclusion of at least eight remedies for cholera, contemporary with the epidemic of 1853-1854. The years 1846-1860 saw the third worldwide cholera pandemic and the 1853 outbreak claimed 10,000 lives in London alone. An extract from the London News, 19 November 1853 written out in this volume reads '...during the time the cholera was at its height here I was suddenly attacked with violent pains in the bowels which I succeeded in removing after taking in about thirty minutes three doses of the above... This was not the only cure that came under my immediate knowledge during the trying time the pestilence was here among us...', another urges that on the onset of symptoms one should '...send off for medical men immediately... people disregard the incipient stage and then the Disease often soon becomes too powerful to counteract by medicine...'.Provenance: Arnold Shircliffe, bookplate; sale of his cookery book collection, Parke-Bernet Galleries, New York, 9 and 10 November 1954, lot 434.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
