Lot 66
James Bond Goldfinger (1964) Irish trimmed British Quad film poster, United Artists, linen backed, 16 x 30 inches Unusual partial quad poster from Ireland. The Irish authorities took exception to the image of a bikini clad model covered in gold leaf for the Irish advertising campaign and an alternative design was commissioned featuring a golden hand. Those cinemas that didn't receive one of the new 'hand' designs simply cut the offending image off the standard poster and showed the credits section by itself, as seen here. This is from the first release in 1964, linen backed with retouching to folds and borders.

STORY (Wm.) A Journal kept in France, during a Captivity of more than Nine Years, commencing . . . April 1805, and ending . . . May, 1814. First Edition. iv, 116pp.; newly rebound half calf & marbled boards, gilt decorated & panelled spine with red label. Sunderland: printed and sold by George Garbutt . . . 1815. * a detailed, first-hand account by a Sunderland merchant of life as a civilian prisoner. Bound for Quebec in his own vessel (with an Admiralty licence to sail without convoy), they were brought up off the west coast of Scotland by a Dunkirk fast corvette privateer (of eighteen guns), the passengers & crew made prisoners and the ship scuttled. Witnessing further depredations as they sailed southwards (apparently the Royal Navy was conspicuous by its absence), they were eventually landed in Spain, there beginning a long journey of almost three months across France to Verdun - their appointed place of incarceration. Much of interest on the various places of imprisonment en route - officers & passengers having higher status than sailors, who were treated as prisoners-of war. By dint of selling possessions & a French government daily allowance they were often able to rent private accomodation or hire a cart for journeying, and sometimes dine out quite well. Much also on the long imprisonment at Verdun & Valenciennes - correspondence with homeland via bankers, help from Lloyds 'Patriotic Fund' (evidently something of a Red Cross forerunner) which apparently funded churches, schools, dispensaries, etc.; as well as the attitudes of the various prison staff, & some social intercourse with the local populations - most of the time was spent in private lodgings; finally, on his return, the behavior of customs officials at Dover seeming to ring a familiar bell.
