Lot 1
A fossil Pecten plaqueMiocene80cm.; 31½ins wideProvenance: Emmen Zoo CollectionThe following 183 Lots are being offered for sale on behalf of the celebrated Emmen Zoo in the far north of Holland. Alongside its living inhabitants, the zoo established a museum to chart the evolution of life through the fossil record, and this museum contained a remarkably wide range of specimens. Formed primarily in the 1980’s and early 90’s, many of the exhibits were acquired when certain fossils were more freely available than they are today. Indeed, some of the specimens being offered represent a chance to acquire fossils that are no longer allowed to be exported from their native countries. Backed by the financial power of the zoo, the museum was able to buy the best specimens that could be found. Today, a new much larger and far more modern zoo has been built on the edge of the Emmen city centre where the animals are re-housed in more spacious and more natural surroundings. With this change in focus, the museum - sadly - did not fit into a new ‘wildlands’ concept, and so a reluctant decision was made to sell its contents along with many of the watercolour illustrations that were used for the production of literature and museum signs. These extraordinary watercolour and pen and ink drawings will be offered in two parts, the first in this auction and the remainder in September. Most of the lots, unless otherwise stated, are being offered on a no reserve basis which will add to the excitement of this extraordinary auction with its collection of truly rare and important specimens.
Lot 199
John van Nost: A rare lead sundial in the form of a kneeling figure of North Americaearly 18th centurywith associated 18th century bronze dial signed George Adams, London with Portland stone surround and on and on Portland stone base155cm.; 61ins highThe van Nosts were a family of sculptors of Flemish descent. The eldest, John van Nost, is first recorded working at Windsor Castle circa 1678. He had his own yard by about 1687 and there manufactured ‘Marble and Leaden figures, Busto’s and noble Vases, Marble chimneypieces and curious Marble tables’. He is best remembered as a supplier of lead garden statues. Records from Melbourne Hall, Derbyshire show that each of the supplied statues cost between £20-30. After his death (circa 1712) his yard at Hyde Park Corner was taken over by his nephew Gerard and then by John van Nost the younger in 1729 who continued until the mid-18th Century. A Blackamoor and similar North American Indian were originally made for Hampton Court by John Van Nost the Elder in 1701. They were perhaps originally intended as part of a larger set representing the Continents but for the death of William III two months after the erection of the first two.For a similar figure see Lawrence Weaver, English Leadwork 1909, reissued 1972, page 160, figure 251.

Garden Statues: A rare Portland stone bulldogcirca 190045cm.; 17½ins high by 56cm.; 22ins longThe oldest single breed specialty club is The Bulldog Club (England), which was formed in 1878. Members of this club met frequently at the Blue Post pub on Oxford Street in London. There they wrote the first standard of perfection for the breed. In 1894 the two top Bulldogs, King Orry and Dockleaf, competed in a contest to see which dog could walk 20 miles (32 km). King Orry was reminiscent of the original Bulldogs, lighter boned and very athletic. Dockleaf was smaller and heavier set, more like modern Bulldogs. King Orry was declared the winner that year, finishing the 20-mile (32 km) walk while Dockleaf collapsed. The Bulldog was officially recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1886. At the turn of the 20th century, Ch. Rodney Stone became the first Bulldog to command a price of $5,000 when he was bought by controversial Irish American political figure Richard Croker.

First described by Othniel C. Marsh in 1876.Provenance: Emmen Zoo Collection. See footnote to lot 1 for more information.
Lot 82
Fossil skeleton: A rare fossilised Sabre tooth cat, probably Hoplophoneus primaevusNorth America, late Eocene/early Oligocene120cm.; 47ins longProvenance: Emmen Zoo Collection. See footnote to lot 1 for more information.Sabre toothed cats evolved over a considerable period of time and several different genus’ the principle ones being the Nimravids and the Smilodons, producing 6 and three species respectively. Confusingly none were closely related to present day cats The most famous |Smilodon| or the sabre tooth tiger is now recognized as three different species each being termed sabre toothed cats and evolved much later in the Pleistocene (2.5 m.y.a. -10,000 years ago).The Nimravids were a much earlier genus of sabre tooth cats dating from the middle Eocene to late Miocene. They have now been classified in their own family the Barbourofelids. The Nimravids were first described by Edward Drinker Cope in 1880. It is believed the Nimravids were forest dwellers and probably lead similar lives to modern day leopards. Their disappearance from the fossil record follows the change in north America from forest to a more savanna like landscape, the family surviving longest in Europe.Hoplophoneus was the largest toothed of the Nimravids and lived in North America between the late Eocene and early Oligocene. Its limbs were shorter than modern day cats and like the smilodons it had a pronounced flange on the lower jaw.

A 19th Century manuscript copy of the Koran in West African Arabic script (probably Nigerian), the 9ins x 6.75ins pages enhanced in red and applied with amber gum highlights, some pages with decorative additional design in the "African" manner, all contained in embossed leather wrap-around binding, and contained in conforming leather satchel (some pages still stuck together, worn and rubbed around edges) Provenance : Purchased by Thomas Charlton (1887-1950) whilst working in Africa. By profession he became a Mining Engineer spending much of his time working abroad. He was commissioned into the Royal Engineers during First World War serving as a Tunneller under enemy lines. During his time in France he was wounded twice between 1916 and 1917 and also severely gassed in May 1918, resulting in him being sent home. Latterly he worked in South America where he lost his wife to Yellow Fever but prior to that he travelled in Africa and the Koran was amongst the few precious items that came home with him. He died on 20th December 1950, having never fully recovered from his experiences in the First World War. The Koran has passed by family descent to the Great Nephew of Thomas Charlton and has never been on the market before. Note : This comes with a letter from the British Museum dated 27th September 1961 regarding the copy of the Koran, who also identified the watermark on the paper as having been made by Andrea Galvani.
