The project was restarted in the 1980s and the hydroelectric Three Gorges Dam began full operation in 2012, becoming the world's largest power station in terms of installed capacity.(Qty: 1)

This tour is recognised as the first to represent a bona fide British team and the first to be widely dubbed the 'Lions', after the nickname was used by journalists during the 1924 tour of South Africa. Led by England's Doug Prentice and managed by James Baxter the tour took in 28 matches, seven in Australia and 21 in New Zealand. Of the 28 games, 24 were against club or invitational teams and four were test matches against New Zealand (the Lions won only one). The photographic negatives offered here are from the one test match against Australia which the Lions lost 6-5. Copyright is not transferred to the buyer of this lot.(Qty: 15)
* The Cottingley Fairies. Frances Griffiths’ folding quarter-plate `Cameo' camera manufactured by W. Butcher & Sons, London, 1915-1920, with Lukos II symmetrical lens back, some signs of age wear, back missing, 14 x 11 x 5 cm (folded)Provenance: Mrs Christine Lynch, daughter of Frances Griffiths. ‘Two good quarter-plate [‘Cameo’] cameras were bought, one for each of the girls, and then I went to Illingworth’s factory for the supply of two dozen plates … I went off, too, to Cottingley again, taking the two camera and plates from London, and met the family and explained to the two girls the simple working of the cameras, giving one to each to keep’, Edward L. Gardner, Fairies: The Cottingley Fairies and their Sequel , 4th revised edition, Theosophical Publishing House, 1966, pp. 24-5. This historic camera was given to Frances Griffiths by Edward Gardner and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in 1920. In 1972 Elsie sold her father’s ‘Midg’ camera (used for taking the first two Cottingley Fairies photographs in 1917) and the ‘Cameo’ camera (used in 1920) through Sotheby’s. The cameras now both reside at the National Media Museum, Bradford. It had been thought that this camera was the one used for at least one of the photographs taken by Frances in 1920, ‘The Fairy Bower’; and possibly the one of Elsie receiving a bouquet of flowers. However, from family papers it now appears probable that this camera was not received by Frances until October 1920, so shortly after these three final fairy photographs were taken in August 1920. Subsequently, Frances used this camera for family snapshots. This does contradict Gardner’s own versions of events as noted above and the intriguing possibility that this did take the fifth photograph in the series, and the one that Frances maintained was genuine right up until her death.(Qty: 1)

* Epson R-D1 early digital rangefinder (Leica M-mount). Rare Epson R-D1, the first digital rangefinder camera ever made, Leica M-mount, model G911A, Serial Number x002285, near mint condition and in good working order, original near mint box with manuals, software, Epson battery charger, battery, body cap, original receipt from 2005 for £2101.92, no lens included.This was the first digital rangefinder camera made. The R-D1 was jointly developed by Seiko Epson and Cosina and manufactured by the latter. It uses Leica M-mount lenses or earlier Leica screw mount lenses with an adapter. An unusual feature to note on the R-D1 is that it is a digital camera that has a manually wound shutter with a rapid wind lever. The controls operate in the same way as film-based rangefinder cameras. Data such as white balance, shutter speed, picture quality, and shots remaining are all displayed with servo driven indicators on a dial like a watch face (made by Epson's parent company Seiko). With the rear screen folded away, it is not obvious this is a digital camera.(Qty: 1)

It would be the last Leica M camera made at Midland before the factory was sold to Howard Hughes Aircraft, and later to Raytheon. Only a few of the German employees at Midland chose to move back to Germany when the Midland factory was sold. The factory arguably developed Leica's best optics, including the 50/1 and 75/1.4.

Ernst Leitz was hired as an engineer in 1865 and was running the company by 1869 when he reorganized it as the Optical Institute of Ernst Leitz. In the first 20 years the company produced 15,000 microscopes. The company was at the forefront of polarized light microscopy with one of its engineers, Dr. Max Berek, discovering how to mathematically compute the depth of field in microscope imagery. Through the years, Leitz microscopes have continued to evolve as cameras and other products have assumed greater prominence in its product mix.(Qty: 1)
