Kyle (Hedi, b.1937). Alphabet flag book, 1990, flag book bound concertina style, opening out to reveal twenty-seven card leaves in three horizontal rows, each leaf illustrating a letter of the alphabet in colour on one side and in black & white on the other, final leaf illustrating the whole alphabet, signed and dated in pencil at rear hinge, original white boards printed in black with letters and illustrations, 31.5 x 16.5cm (12.5 x 6.5ins) Limited edition, 50/65 copies, signed by Hedi Kyle. Generally regarded as one of the most significant innovators and makers of artist's books during the 1970s and 1980s, Hedi Kyle is credited with creating the first flag book in 1979 with 'April Diary'. The structure of her innovation is deceptively simple, consisting of an accordion folded spine, with rows of tabs attached to opposing sides of each of the folds to allow the artist to fragment and layer a number of complementary or contrasting images and narratives. When read page by page, the viewer sees disjointed fragments of image and text. When the spine is pulled fully open, these fragments assemble a panoramic spread, accompanied by a flapping sound, to give a scuptural form. (1)

TITANIC DISASTER; White Star Line 1st Class Saloon Steward A highly important collection of historic documents, photograph and other items relating to Edward William Peter BARROWS. Born in London in 1880, Barrows went to sea at an early age as a steward and made several sailings in the employ of various shipping lines, serving in the P&O liner SS India and the Canadian Pacific liner Empress of Britain before joining the White Star Line in April 1912. He was appointed to Titanic by John Bartholomew, the company's Victualing Superintendent at Southampton, signing joining papers on the 9th April 1912 as a 1st Class Saloon Steward for her maiden voyage. His monthly wages were £3 15s. William Barrows gave his address as 34 Hanover Street, Islington, London N., which was a public house called the 'Island Queen', the landlord, Richard Harman, was Barrows' stepfather. Barrows died in the sinking of Titanic, his body, if recovered, was never identified. Important manuscript letter to Barrows' sister in detailing his preparations for the maiden voyage of Titanic, dated 9 April 1912: 'My dear Mary I am glad to say that I signed on this afternoon on the "Titanic". I am sleeping aboard the ship tonight, we sail tomorrow all being well. I managed to get a waiting jacket but I shall have to order a new uniform the next time home, as the new jacket is a little bit short but it will have to do this time. I hope everything is all right at home. I have dropped in for a side job which will earn another couple of quid extra a voyage. We are due home next Saturday fortnight Love & Best Wishes to all, Your affectionate Brother Will Place all laundry and things in middle draw in the chest of drawers in my room' Photograph of Edward William Peter Barrows in stewards' whites on board unidentified vessel. Photograph mounted on card.

Bartholomew'. J. Bruce Ismay was the Chairman and Managing Director of the White Star Line and in his name important telegrams like this would be signed. Ismay himself was a passenger on board Titanic. John Bartholomew, former chief steward in Oceanic, was the White Star Line's first Victualing Superintendent at Southampton. He knew all his staff personally and for Titanic had the responsibility of selecting the most experienced and best stewards to work in First Class. One of these was William Barrows. Part of his work was the employment of stewards, cooks, bakers etc. and his task in the weeks and months following the disaster was to send out telegrams like this example informing relatives about their loved ones. Of the 322 stewards on board only about 60 survived.

A 1971 Mini Cooper S Mk III, registration number XLV 106J, chassis number XAD1 308242A, engine number 12H397F 909, Glacier white. Direct from the executors of the Keith Nash estate deceased. The Mk III Cooper S was manufactured for a very short period between March 1970 and June 1971, with a relatively small number of 1,570 being made. This in effect makes it a limited edition run, and in the process making it one of the rarest Mini Cooper variants. The outward appearance of the Cooper S was virtually indistinguishable from a humble Mini 1000. This made the car a quintessential Q-car which did not go unnoticed. The Liverpool Constabulary ordered 27 Glacier white examples to add to their fleet and this is one of them, and was first registered to the Chief Constable of Liverpool and West Mercia Constabulary on the 11 September 1971. The Mini has come from a long term ownership and has formed part of a West Country collection for a number of years. The Cooper was used to attend many local classic car events. Due to the worsening health of Mr Nash, the Cooper had not been used for some time and kept in store so now will require some re-commissioning before going back into regular use. The Mini is offered for sale with DVLA history and some spares including various sets of wheels. V5C, no MOT See front cover and other illustrations Please note that there is a £60+VAT minimum premium on this lot
