A modern ring-binder album containing a collection of more than 80 postcard-size images of transport interest ' nearly all trams from the Blackpool and Sheffield areas. There are approximately 44 Blackpool area images, including Fleetwood Terminus, water car (tram) and the famous Blackpool toast rack vehicles, near all on postcard-type card, but some on photographic paper. Many are photographed by D. Tate, but other photographers include H. Luff, MJ O'Connor, RB Parr and Robert Mack ' some of whom photographed trams from around the country. Whilst many images are plain-backed, some include details on the reverse of the tram and/or where it is photographed. The Blackpool area scenes include Blundell Street depot, Horncliffe Road and Rossall Sidings. Of the approximate 39 Sheffield views, scenes include Sheffield Lane, the Prince of Wales Reservation, Tinsley Depot, Walkley Terminus, Brightside and Wadsley Bridge. Again, the majority of photos have been taken by D. Tate, although RB Parr also has a number of examples of his work in this lot. With both the Sheffield and Blackpool cards, there are some streets views of scenes now long gone. The photos are in very good condition, although the album has a fair bit of wear and tear. The first two photos show many of the Sheffield images - and the other two photos show many of the Blackpool area ones.

Ten boxes (see first photo) full of at least 1,000 postcard-size real photographs (and probably many more) of trains and locomotives ' a fair number showing parts of railway stations or sidings or halts; and many identified on the plain-backed reverses (see last photo). Four are larger boxes ' the other six smaller ones. There are approximately 220 images alone in the larger box without a lid in the photo, and a number of examples from this box only are featured in the other images. Two of the bigger boxes are LMS (London Midland and Scottish Railway), the other two are LNER (London and North Eastern Railway) and Southern. Of the six smaller boxes, three are GWR (Great Western Railway), two LNER and the other Southern, though the last box is only around half-full. Most of the images are on postcard-type card, but there are also a higher number on photographic paper, of which some are slightly smaller than standard postcard size. There are a few postcards dotted around in the lot. The condition of the cards is generally very good.

He was taken prisoner at Calais in 1558, when that town was surrendered to the Duke of Guise, and conveyed captive to Boulogne, where, after two months severe confinement, he was ransomed at the price of 374l ... In 1573 he was high sheriff of Rutland ... He much increased his estate, as appears by a rental of it in 1577 ... [His] line of trade, by which this great fortune was raised, was extremely lucrative. The merchants of the Staple had almost a monopoly of all wools exported; nor were the merchant adventurers [of whom Cony was also a member], who trade likewise in wools, a company less respectable' (Turnor, pp. 22-3).

Two manuscript daybooks kept by Ludwig Freyberger (1865-1932) as pathologist to the London South Western District coroner's court, 1902 & 1908. 2 volumes, 4to, contemporary half skiver (volume 1) and sheep (volume 2), backstrips perished, [31] 231, [42] 225 pp. + blanks, written in blue ink in a compact cursive hand, approx. 40-50 lines to the page, mainly in double column, index (arranged by cause of death) to front of each volume, the main text comprising postmortem reports arranged under headings 'Verdict', 'Cause of Death', 'Particulars of Evidence', and analyses of organs, numerous additional notes and letters (typed and autograph) laid in, diagrams of an abdominal tumour found in a young girl (1902 volume p. 63) and of a fatal skull fracture (tipped into 1908 volume p. 217) (qty: 2) The first volume (pp. 51-59) contains Freyberger's report on the death of Maud Marsh, who was poisoned by Polish-born serial killer Seweryn Klosowski, known as George Chapman, one of the prime suspects in the Jack the Ripper murders. The cause of death is recorded as 'antimonial poisoning; poison administered by Geo. Chapman', and the accompanying report is one of, if not the most extensive in either volume. There are numerous other records of poisoning across both volumes, the means being hydrochloric acid, arsenic, cyanide, coalgas, oxalic acid, lead, and even milk. Freyberger, a physician of Austrian origin, was appointed pathologist to the coroner for the London South Western District, Dr John Troutbeck, in 1902; the choice provoked a long-running controversy within the London medical establishment, who viewed it 'as a sinister assault on the medical profession … and English liberties writ large' (Burney, Bodies of Evidence: Medicine and the Politics of the English Inquest, 1830-1926, p. 125). Provenance: bequeathed to the vendor by Ludwig Freyberger's daughter Louise, the vendor's godmother.

Suffragettes. Album of autographs and sketches, 1910-15. 4to (226 x 176 mm), contemporary maroon roan album, marbled endpapers, gilt edges, 75 varicoloured paper leaves (many blank), containing autograph quotations signed by Teresa Billington Greig (1877-1964; quotation reads 'Dare to be free/Aspire, break bounds, I say', dated 14 January 1910), Alison Neilans (1884-1942; 'The woman's cause is a man's. They rise and fall together', from Tennyson, and a longer quotation, apparently original, 'Woman should be the comrade of man and not merely his amusement [...]', 10 November 1910), Charlotte Despard (1844-1939; ' 'Can man be free and woman be a slave? [...]', from Percy Shelley, 10 November 1910), Keir Hardie (1856-1915; 'Were half the power that fills the world with terror [...]', from Longfellow, 27 October 1910), Victor Duval (1885-1945, husband of Una Duva; 'Stand fast and let your tyrants see/That fortitude is victory'), and various others (unrecorded), the album illustrated with some 15 caricatures and sketches in pen-and-ink, watercolour and other media), including a suffragette haranguing a crowd from a rostrum with a 'Votes for Women' banner (signed Geo[rge] Reith Sutherland, 14 May 1910), and several depicting humorous scenes of golf, hockey and cricket, spine defective, front inner hinge broken between front free endpaper and first leaf (qty: 1) The year 1910 was of great significance for the suffragette movement. On 18 November Emmeline Pankhurst led a group of 300 women to the Houses of Parliament in protest at Asquith's announcement of a general election and apparent intention to shelve the first Conciliation Bill, which would have granted limited female suffrage for the first time; the ensuing scenes of violence became known as 'Black Friday'. The names of many of the contributors to this album and the content of some of the illustrations suggest a Scottish provenance. The author of the 'Votes for Women' sketch, George Reith Sutherland, is recorded as an officer in the Gordon Highlanders, receiving his commission while a private in the Canadian Expeditionary Force (London Gazette, 24 March 1916, 3192).

The first letter is an especially eloquent statement of the famous resolve demonstrated by Mrs Thatcher in the wake of the Brighton bombing.

Watts (George Frederic, 1817-1904). Memorial volume produced by Christopher Hatton Turner (1873-1940), architect of the Watts Gallery, c.1904. Folio (400 x 270 mm), finely bound by the Guild of Handicraft in green sheep (with their stamp gilt to rear turn-in), pewter panel mounted to front cover with elaborate repoussé decoration comprising outer frame with foliate cornerpieces around central laurel wreath enclosing lettering '1817 Watts 1904', numerous red and orange glass cabochons inset, 100 heavy blue-green wove paper leaves, with various material mounted to rectos and versos including 5 photographs of the interior of the Watts Gallery and 4 portrait photographs of G. F. Watts (probably platinum prints), one of the portraits signed by Watts in black ink ('G. F. Watts, 1902'), another (depicting Watts at work on his statue of Tennyson) annotated on mount 'September 1903, C Turnor phot.', 18 numbered leaves of manuscript notes by Turnor (beginning 'The following imperfect notes of conversations I had with Mr Watts, from 1902 when I first had the privilege of meeting him to 1904 ...'), and about 50 prints of paintings by Watts (mixed media), many leaves left blank, spine slightly sunned, rubbing and some stripping to spine-bands, joints and board-edges (qty: 1) Christopher Hatton Turnor (1873-1940) was a relatively inexperienced young architect living near Compton with his parents when he was selected by Watts to design what became the Watts Gallery; the choice was evidently informed by the artist's Arts and Crafts ethos of working with local craftsmen and designers. Turnor's design was inspired by Voysey and Lutyens, and Watts lived just long enough to see the finished product, dying on 1 July 1904 three months after its completion. Turnor had unexpectedly succeeded to the family estate at Stoke Rochford, Lincolnshire, in 1903, and went on to become an ardent campaigner for rural reform. 'Unlike many of his contemporaries Turnor was not prepared simply to enjoy the social amenities of his new position or to accept the prevailing view that there was little future for British agriculture. Instead, committed to the belief that land ownership was a trust, he helped to pioneer a new and more dynamic approach to estate management' (ODNB).

'Barbara Mary Campbell spent her childhood in London and Jersey. She studied at Clapham School of Art, St Martin's School of Art, and [the] Central School of Arts and Crafts. Her first book, Barbara Lamb, about a lamb who [becomes] an opera singer, was written and drawn as a diversion ... while in the Land Army ...

Errington A14(a). First edition, Ariana Dumbledore's copy, inscribed by the author 'To Hebe (also known as Ariana!), with lots of love, J K Rowling' on the title-page. The recipient was Hebe Beardsall (1993-), who played Ariana, the sister of Albus Dumbledore, in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (2010-11). Ariana Dumbledore was accidentally killed while trying to intervene in a three-way duel between Albus Dumbledore, their brother Aberforth, and Albus's friend, the future Dark Wizard revolutionary Gellert Grindelwald. Her existence is first revealed in an extract from Rita Skeeter's scurrilous biography of Albus published in the Daily Prophet, which alleges that she was a squib kept hidden by the Dumbledore family out of shame; in fact her magical powers were too powerful for her to control, and in a rage at the age of fourteen she caused an explosion in which the Dumbledores' mother Kendra was killed. Ariana's portrait above the fireplace in the Hog's Head Inn, Hogsmeade, conceals a secret passage back into the Room of Requirement, and it is Ariana who leads Harry, Ron and Hermione back into Hogwarts for the final battle against the forces of Lord Voldemort. Harry Potter was Hebe Beardsall's first screen role. She has recently been cast in the forthcoming instalment of a major space fantasy franchise, and her other roles have included Happy Valley (2016), Victoria (2017) and The Alienist (2020), and feature films How to Talk to Girls at Parties (2017) and Funny Cow (2017). 'Aberforth remained fixed in his chair, gazing at Harry with the eyes that were so extraordinarily like his brother's. At last he cleared his throat, got to his feet, walked around the little table and approached the portrait of Ariana. ''You know what to do,'' he said.'

A hugely evocative literary artefact and a fascinating insight into C. S. Lewis's meticulous reading habits; in his spiritual autobiography Surprised By Joy (1955) Lewis attached great significance to the 'imaginative Renaissance' which sprung from his first encounter with Norse mythology as a young schoolboy. Provenance: Laurence Harwood OBE (1933-2020), regional director, National Trust, and godson of C. S. Lewis. Laurence's father (Albert) Cecil Harwood (1898-1975) met Lewis at Oxford in Hilary term of 1919.
