BRUNEL – THAMES TUNNELManuscript guidebook to Marc Isambard Brunel's Thames Tunnel, entitled 'Sketches and Memoranda/ of the/ Works/ for the/ Tunnel under the Thames/ from/ Rotherhithe to Wapping/ Published and sold at the Tunnel Works Rotherhithe and by/ Messrs Harvey and Darton, 55, Gracechurch St:/ Printed by the Philanthropic Society St.G's F:/ 1828', entitled 'Sketches and Memoranda/ of the/ Works/ for the/ Tunnel under the Thames/ from/ Rotherhithe to Wapping/ Published and sold at the Tunnel Works Rotherhithe and by/ Messrs Harvey and Darton, 55, Gracechurch St:/ Printed by the Philanthropic Society St.G's F:/ 1828', written in a neat attractive hand and illustrated with thirteen finely-drawn vignettes and plans in pen, ink and wash, comprising nine one-page illustrations (including '...View of Wapping... and a transverse section of the Tunnel...', The Shaft, 'Dimensions of the Brickwork', Workmen in the Shield [with cut-out overlay showing the entrance to the Tunnel]), three double-page plans ('A Transverse Section of the Thames', 'Plan of the Premises at Rotherhithe and Wapping', and a cross-section showing the strata of the river) and one pull-down map ('Plan of the Roads and main Objects on the Eastern Part of London... projected by M.I. 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

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.

Piston loading.No box.Measurements: 14 cm. length, 14 mm. diameter.This is the first fountain pen with which the Hiroshima-based brand inaugurates the Ancient Script collection.The Sailor The Pharaohs Limited Edition is dedicated to Ancient Egypt and therefore, as many of the hieroglyphs are related to the rulers of the time, directly to the pharaohs.It should be noted that in addition to possessing more than 2,000 hieroglyphic characters, each of which had an associated sound, the ancient Egyptians perfected writing instruments, ink and the base on which to record their writings, papyrus. It should also be remembered that it was thanks to the discovery of the Rosetta Stone in 1799 and the studies carried out for 19 years by Jean-Francois Champollion, that we can know the meaning of these writings.The fountain pen has a cap, nozzle and barrel in solid 925 sterling silver.On the cap, the crown has a conical or tapered finish, followed by a gold-plated ring that leads to the clip, which is also plated in the same way; on the surface of the cap we can see the engravings of 14 cartouches representing the names of 14 pharaohs; a gold-plated end ring is engraved around it with "SAILOR", "JAPAN", "THE PHARAOHS" and the drawing of a hieroglyphic.On the body is a cone-shaped false butt separated from the body by a gold-plated ring; Between it and the one near the mouthpiece we find a series of hieroglyphs that correspond to those found on a limestone stele in the tomb of the pharaoh Inyotef, praising the pharaoh, his reign and achievements, and asking the gods Khentamentiu and Wepwawet, both depicted in the form of jackals, guardians of the dead and tombs, who oversee the journey to the afterlife, for protection of his body; The number of the piece is also shown near the butt of the pen, and the nib, made by master craftsman Nobuyoshi Nagahara and called Naginata Togi, is made of 21K gold, and the nib is black with a gold-plated ring., In addition to the ornamental drawing we can see engraved "1911", the drawing of an anchor, anagram of the brand, "21K", "875" and "SAILOR"; the loading system is through the use of cartridges and / or converter.
