For Valour' with gilt tassels at end (detached) loosely inserted, folio (450 x 340mm.), Brunswick, 13 May 1916Footnotes:FINELY BOUND MANUSCRIPT TESTIMONIAL PRESENTED TO AUSTRALIAN VICTORIA CROSS RECIPIENT CAPTAIN WILLIAM JOHN SYMONS BY THE CITIZENS OF BRUNSWICK. 'We are proud of you, and know that you have richly earned this high distinction by your cool self-possession, courage, resource and high resolve in your hand-to-hand encounter with the Turks, who are born fighters... We shall never forget the occasion which won for you the Victoria Cross, when you and your gallant little band of Australian Heroes were sent out on what appeared to be a forlorn hope...'.Captain W.J. Symons (1889-1948) was born at Eaglehawk (where there is a memorial to him). He later lived and worked at Brunswick, Melbourne prior to serving for eight years in the militia (5th and 60th battalions). At the outbreak of the First World War he enlisted in the Australian Imperial Force, landing with his battalion at Gallipoli on 25 April. 'About 5 a.m. on 9 August the Turks made a series of determined attacks on Jacob's Trench at Lone Pine where six Australian officers were killed or severely wounded. Learning that the position had been overrun, Lieutenant-Colonel Harold 'Pompey' Elliott ordered Symons to retake the trench. 'I don't expect to see you again', he said, 'but we must not lose that post' (A. Staunton, Australian Dictionary of Biography). Symons led the counter attack at Lone Pine, Gallipoli for which, together with six of his Australians comrades, he was awarded the Victoria Cross in recognition of his 'conspicuous gallantry'.Having received his V.C. from King George V at Buckingham Palace on 4 December Symons returned to Brunswick to a heroes' welcome. This magnificently presented testimonial was presented to him at a lavish 'welcome home' banquet hosted by Lieutenant Governor Sir John Madden held in May 1916. A copy of an original photograph (retained by the vendor) of the banquet is included in the lot. His medal group is displayed at the Australian War Memorial, Canberra.Provenance: Captain W.J. Symons, V.C.; by descent to the present owner.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

St. Michael's Abbey followed the Hirsau Reforms, which explains the reason they held copies of this version of the Liber ordinarius.

Petri, 1547Footnotes:ONE OF THE FUNDAMENTAL TEXT BOOKS OF THE MUSICAL RENAISSANCE, with over 120 compositions by Josquin des Pres, Obrecht, Ockeghem, Mouton and many others. The Dodekachordon is the work of Heinrich Glarean (1488–1563), the poet and musical theorist described by his friend Erasmus as 'the champion of Swiss humanism'. In it, the author set out his revolutionary system of twelve modes, four of which were newly identified, including the major (Ionian) and minor (Aeolian) modes. These he incorporated into the traditional scheme, and he trumpeted his innovation by listing them on the title-page. The book is divided into three parts, beginning with a study of Boethius, going on to trace the use of the musical modes in plainsong and monophony, and concluding with an extended study of polyphony. It was instrumental in spreading the concept of the emotional appeal of composers such as Josquin, and influenced theorists from Merulo to Morley and Zacconi. Glarean's explanation of the musical modes is still largely accepted today.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

Lewis' on reverse, 21 x 22mm., [c.1910] (collection)Footnotes:'ONE OF THE BOLD BAD ONES!': A collection of suffragette memorabilia from the Pinner Branch of the WSPU.The collection comes from the family of Phyllis Crome Pearce, née Verden (1889-1981) and her mother Marie Wallis Verden (1866-1956), wife of Mr Mark Verden, who were leading lights of the Pinner branch of the WSPU. The branch was founded in 1908 by five women, all neighbours, including Marie Verden and its Honorary Secretary, Janie Terrero (1848-1944) who, with her husband Manuel, frequently hosted fundraising garden parties in the grounds of their home, Rockstone House. Terrero was arrested for window smashing on 1 March 1912 and was sentenced to four months in Holloway during which she took part in two hunger strikes - her extensive notes describing her experiences in prison are held as part of the Suffragette Fellowship Collection. As well as documenting Terrero's arrest and imprisonment, newspaper cuttings in the album mention Marie Verden's role as Honorary Treasurer of the branch, whilst her daughter Phyllis is also mentioned as being involved in fundraising events. Both Marie and Phyllis held the role of Secretary at one time. Marie is said to have sustained injuries in the deputation to Buckingham Palace on 21 May 1914, the last major act of militancy before the First World War. Whilst training to be a nurse Phyllis met and married Frank Pearce (1878-1946), already a leading dental surgeon and Honorary Secretary of the British Dental Association. In 1936 he was created President of the Royal College of Dental Surgery, their highest honour, and received a knighthood for his contribution to dentistry, although Lady Pearce was said to be uncomfortable with using the title. A letter from the BBC's Woman's Hour Programme from 1964 reveals that Phyllis at one time held the position of 'house parlour maid' to Emmeline Pankhurst, through whom she may well have met leading suffragettes including Ada Wright (see adjacent lot). According to the family, Phyllis was the most active and militant of the Verden family and served in Holloway prison at the same time as Emmeline Pankhurst. They tell of the family house being stoned and windows broken by opponents of the Suffragette movement, with family members being chased up Pinner High Street by anti-suffragists. For more on the Verden family and the suffragette movement in Pinner see Thomas MacIver's article, 'Pinner's Suffragette's', London and Middlesex Archaeological Society Transactions, 69, 2018, pp.269-282. In this article a 'Miss Wright' is mentioned as sharing the responsibility for running the branch with Mrs Verden in 1914 but the connection, if any, to Ada Wright is not known.The photograph of Emmeline Pankhurst was taken in Chicago on a highly successful tour of the USA in the Autumn of 1913. She was on the run from the British authorities after refusing to return to Holloway in June 1913 under the terms of the Cat and Mouse Act and, as a convicted criminal, she should have been refused entry to the USA. She was detained at Ellis Island on arrival but, after pressure from various women's groups, she was allowed to continue her visit on the promise of good behaviour. She was rearrested on her return to the UK in December 1913. Provenance: Phyllis Crome Pearce, née Verden (1889-1981), the present owner's grandmother.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A set of proofs was printed in 1784 but, probably due to the huge expense of the project, no formal publication of the set was made in Banks' lifetime. Shortly before his death in 1820 he bequeathed the plates to the British Museum. In 1905 a limited edition of the Australian plant images was issued, printing the plates from lithographic stones prepared from the eighteenth century proofs, and in 1973 a selection of thirty plates etched in black and white. This Alecto edition, ten years in the making, was the first time the whole set appeared printed from the original copperplates, and has been described as the most important achievement in the graphic arts in the twentieth century.The plates are printed in colours à la poupée, a process in which 'up to ten colours are worked directly into the single plate before each print is pulled, with additional water-colour touches in special cases' (Prospectus).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

Its publication was essentially a political move by Konstantin, 'an ardent supporter, promoter and protector of the Eastern Orthodox Church... To help him fight for his cause' (Anna Vlasova,'The Ostrog Bible', London Library Blog, 13 August 2012). The first printed Cyrillic Bible, it was lavishly decorated with specially-designed headpieces and initials, and copies were sent all over Eastern and Southern Europe, including to Pope Gregory XIII and Ivan the Terrible, who gave a copy to the English ambassador Jerome Horsey. As a text it became a foundational cornerstone of Orthodox Christianity, and was of special importance in Ukraine and Belarus where Catholic pressures were strong. Some 350 copies are thought to survive, and it was not reprinted until 1663.The present copy is Darlow & Moule's variant B, with the colophon in Greek and Slavonic dated 12 August 1581. It has 627 of the 628 leaves, with the list of books neatly supplied in early manuscript, but is otherwise substantially complete.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
