Brunel... 1827'), text comprising an Introduction, dated January 1828 ('...The present undertaking was projected by M.I. Brunel Esq: F.R.S. whose works for Government have been equally creditable to his scientific abilities and to his personal character...'), and detailed commentary accompanying the illustrations on versos, 30 leaves, 'F & Z' watermark, some light dust-staining and small tears, original half calf with marbled boards, label with manuscript title 'SKETCHES relating to the TUNNEL.' on upper cover, oblong 8vo (102 x 175mm.), 1828Footnotes:MANUSCRIPT GUIDEBOOK FOR BRUNEL'S PIONEERING THAMES TUNNEL, 'THE EIGHTH WONDER OF THE WORLD', SEEMINGLY DERIVING FROM HIS WORKSHOP. A handsome manuscript version of Marc Brunel's popular publication.Despite the proliferation of printed editions of Brunel's guide to the Thames Tunnel project, we have hitherto traced no other manuscript version of the guidebook. Printed guidebooks were produced from early 1827, in order to keep the project in the public eye over the long construction period and also to raise money from visitors to the works, and ran to some seventeen editions over the next thirty-five years, the last appearing in 1863 (for a detailed bibliography see Chrimes, Elton, May & Millet, The Triumphant Bore: A Celebration of Marc Brunel's Thames Tunnel, James Howden, [n.d.]). Marc Brunel himself was responsible for the composing the text, and the engraved plates were taken from drawings supplied by his workshop. Julia Elton in her essay 'The Tunnel in Print' notes that the first edition of March 1827 consisted of plates only, the text and introduction appearing the following August with the title as per our manuscript, Sketches and Memoranda of the works for the tunnel under the Thames. Regular updated editions followed, including translations in the major European languages, with the text constantly rewritten and updated. A month after our version, in February 1828, the printed book had a new title Sketches of the Works for the Tunnel under the Thames which it retained until 1830. Our fine manuscript version would seem to sit between the printed editions of December 1827 (cat. no. 58) and that of January 1828 (cat. no. 59), incorporating several amendments to the text made after 1827 - for example the reference to 'Mr Brunel' in the 1827 Introduction becomes the more formal 'M.I. Brunel Esq. F.R.S.' in both our version and the printed 1828 edition, as well as incorporating extra descriptive text, which might at first suggest that ours is a copy of the later edition. However, the possibility that ours came after the 1828 edition is ruled out by comparison of the meticulously executed illustrations. On comparison, it is noticeable that our drawings are largely unpopulated apart from the figures of workers in the shield. A recognisable top-hatted figure appears in two of the engravings but not in our drawings, that of the brick shaft and again in the longitudinal section of the tunnel, where the same figure observes the work from a niche in the tunnel wall. Similarly, the figure with the pickaxe is absent from our drawing of the shield, as are the figures and carriages from the plan showing the long transverse section of the tunnel. Our exquisite drawings would seem to bear more relation to the originals produced in the workshop (sold in these rooms, 15 November 2017, lot 78) where there is also favourable comparison of the handwriting here to that on a plan ascribed to Brunel's chief engineer, Joseph Pinchbeck. The paper bears the watermark 'F & Z', which is also seen on German paper of the same period.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

1977 Triumph Bonneville 750cc Jubilee limited edition (of 1000) motorcycle, produced for the Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II in 1977, each with a certificate, of which two examples are present with this bike, perhaps suggesting two examples were originally purchased. This motorcycle has covered fewer than 10 miles (9.2 currently recorded) since new, having been bought originally as an investment for display in a window, it is believed to have never been ridden on the road though is fully road registered and the engine has been run regularly. The original owner S.J.Bradbury, a director of KD Thermoplastics kept the bike as an investment until 2015 at which point it was purchased by a friend, being taken for its first MOT in 2018, at which time it had new tyres, new front brake cylinder, new battery etc. On October 3rd 2018 it was purchased by our vendor with the idea of riding it but in the end he decided not to do so. A friend persuaded him to sell it but when he became unwell our vendor purchased it back, placing the logbook in his son's name with the idea of perhaps it being used by his son. Now he has reluctantly decided they're both unlikely to ride it so it is being offered for auction. The history file contains two certificates, original owner's handbook, V5c, various paperwork including receipt dated 3/10/2018 to our vendor, Haynes manual etc10%+VAT buyer's premium on this lot

FIRST EDITION THE NEW GATE CALANDER & OTHER BOOKS & MAP

Andalusian school, late 19th century."Selling the turkey. After Juan Bautista Guzmán (Granada, c.1850 - Barcelona, 1898).Oil on panel.Signed "R. de Guzmán" and dated in the lower right corner.Measurements: 30 x 17 cm; 50,5 x 37 cm (frame).This Andalusian genre painting is based on a painting by the Granada painter Juan Bautista de Guzmán, entitled "El recovero" (1883), although it also appears under the title "Vendiendo el pavo" ("Selling the turkey"). If the signature of this new version is anything to go by, the author could be related to Bautista de Guzmán. Produced fifteen years later, it remains faithful to the original and is a tribute to his mentor. In a rustic corner of an Andalusian courtyard, under a staircase, a salesman displays the bird to a woman, who in turn adopts an amused and flirtatious attitude.Juan Bautista de Guzmán y Orantes (Granada, c 1850 - Barcelona, 1898) grew up in Malaga, where he began working as a printer's clerk and later as a civil servant in the city council. The Malaga painter Leoncio Talavera (1851-1878) passed on his love of painting to him. At first, without much knowledge, he produced his first painting, which was a copy of a painting by his friend Talavera, which he sold for 125 pesetas. After making rapid progress, the Malaga provincial council wanted to grant him a pension but was prevented from doing so as the painter was not a native of that province. He then decided to go to Granada, where he devoted himself entirely to painting. He won his first prize at his first exhibition in Granada in 1876. In 1879 he took part in the Cadiz Exhibition, winning a silver medal, and in 1881 he exhibited his works at the National Exhibition in Madrid. After settling in Barcelona, he took part with two paintings in the Fine Arts Exhibition of the Catalan capital in 1888 and 1891 with Garden, A Wrong Way (or the Open-Air Library), A Hungarian Family Begging for Charity, A Dead Donkey's Barley at the Tail and Sensibility, as well as in the 1896 edition. The subject matter of his paintings is reminiscent of the typical Andalusian style, taking place in taverns and courtyards of Granada, with peasants, bullfighters and manolas. When the critic García Llansó visited his studio in Barcelona's Calle Balmes in 1891, he noted that the artist was always in the habit of painting several at a time.
