Bernoulli (Johann) Opera omnia, tam antea sparsim edita, 4 vol., first edition, titles in red & black, engraved portraits, title vignettes, head- and tail-pieces and 91 folding engraved plates, Robert Honeyman's bookplate to pastedown, contemporary vellum with red morocco labels to spines, housed in four custom-made red morocco-backed cases (very lightly scuffed), overall a fine set, large 4to, Lausanne & Geneva, Marci-Michaelis Bousquet, 1742.⁂ The exceptionally excellent Honeyman copy of the collected works of Bernoulli, complete with both portraits (often lacking). Virtually all of Bernoulli's work was published in journals: the first edition of Jean Bernoulli's collected works brings together 189 of his papers and 59 of his lectures. Volume I is primarily devoted to problems in geometry and the early calculus, but also contains papers on muscular mechanics, the resistance of solids, and a geometrical demonstration of the motion of pendulums and projectiles in resisting and unresisting media. Volumes II & III are almost totally devoted to problems of mechanics, the first of these containing his theoretical essay on the maneuvering of vessels and related papers, as well as numerous contributions on the analysis of trajectories. His discourse on the laws governing the communication of movement opens volume III, which also contains his essay on celestial mechanics. The final volume contains contributions on the curvature of elastic plates, his mechanico-dynamical propositions, and problems in dynamics. Most important, its appearance in this volume represents the first printing of the Hydraulica, which was written in competition with his son (Bibliotheca Mechanica).

Beautifully prepared by the UK’s favourite BTCC team Motorbase for fast-road or competition use.Fastidiously ground-up restored by the Motorbase Classic Performance Dept. using genuine Heritage body panelsFitted with a fully rebuilt 3.6-ltr, 993 engine delivering a reliable 320bhp through a fresh 915 gearbox with a gripper LSDPreviously a 2.7 RS spec race car with good competition history, purchased by Motorbase in 2018 after recent £33,000 expenditure at Porsche guru, Tech9Once the shell had been checked on a jig the 911 was totally rebuilt to the very high standards of a premier motorsport racing teamSubsequently used as a marketing tool and displayed at prestigious events to showcase the standard of finish from the in-house Classic Performance DepartmentA beautifully finished retro 911 suitable for fast-road driving, track-days or full competition in various eligible seriesDelivered new to Germany in 1977, this Porsche 911 2.7 MFI would later be sourced and imported to the UK by experienced Porsche racer Des Winks. This example had been carefully selected from single ownership due to the excellent condition of the bodyshell. During the early 90s, the car would be converted to 2.7 RS Lightweight specification with the intention of using it for competition. Work included new steel front and rear wings and Kevlar bumpers, bonnet and duck-tail whilst inside the 911 was fitted with full Safety Devices front and rear cage and full lightweight interior trim. Preparation was undertaken by Bob Watson including rebuilding the engine and gearbox to 210bhp, 2.7RS-specification with genuine steel RSL rear trailing arms, RSL brakes and Bilstein suspension to run in the 1993 Pirelli Porsche series. In 1995, the car was sold to Steve Rogers and subsequently in 2004 to Mike Nesbit. Around 2006, the car was fitted with a 993, 3.6-litre engine before competing in the Scottish Classic Sports & Saloons. The Porsche was particularly effective with Mike setting a new track record at Knockhill in 2007.Our vendor, Motorbase Performance, purchased this 911 in 2018 as a project to showcase the standard of workmanship achievable in their newly established Classic Performance department. Motorbase Performance are a UK-based race team with many years of experience and success within the industry including 2010 Porsche Carrera Cup Champions and 2014 British GT Champions.Despite having recently received £30,000+ in attention (mainly from Porsche specialist Tech9), the decision was taken to disassemble the old racer and rebuilt it from the ground up in-house at their motorsport facility near Brands Hatch. Photographs and invoices within the file show the shell stripped and rebuilt using genuine heritage parts and panels purchased from Porsche GB. All mechanical parts were stripped and rebuilt where necessary and all electrical items checked and repaired as required. The shell was then professionally finished inside and out by their expert paint-shop in a stunning shade of grey before reassembly. The suspension geometry, including the Bilstein dampers, was set-up correctly for fast-road or race use. The interior was enhanced with a new set of Corbeau race seats and the exterior finished with new genuine headlamps and 16” Fuchs alloys (a set of 15” wheels and tyres accompany the car for track-day use). Also accompanying the car is a substantial history file including the aforementioned restoration documents, detailed history back to the cars import in 1989, current V5 certificate.Since completion, the car has had light use and has been on display at Porsche Carrera Cup GB and Silverstone Classic events for Motorbase to showcase their Classic Performance department. In summary, this very special Porsche 911 has been lovingly restored by one of the UK’s best-known racing teams using original parts and utilising many years of motorsport knowledge and experience. Built for fast-road, track-day or full competition use this is a very cool versatile classic 911 with current Supercar performance.Viewing of this cracking 911 is highly recommended and, as you would expect, the car fires into life on the first turn of the key, sounds amazing and is described as performing extremely well. SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 CARRERA RSYear: 1977Chassis Number: 9117301723Transmission: ManualEngine Number: TBCDrive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Architecture.- Serlio (Sebastiano) Il terzo libro...nel qual si figurano, e descrivono le antiquita di Roma..., Venice, Francesco Marcolini, 1540; Regole generali di architettura, Venice, Francesco Marcolini, 1540, together 2 works in 1, first work collation: A2, B-V4, lacking H1 and H4, probably replaced by the first recorded owner with leaves from an ordinary copy, also lacking R2 and R3, supplied with two manuscript leaves, printed on blue paper, Roman and italic type, woodcut title, printer's device and colophon framed by cartouche on verso of final leaf, 120 woodcuts, including 32 full-page and 4 double-page, woodcut animated initials throughout, second work collation: A-T4, lacking B1, supplied with a manuscript leaf, Roman and italic type, woodcut architectural title, printer's device and colophon framed by a cartouche on verso of final leaf, 126 woodcuts, including 56 full-page and 6 plates on 3 leaves (fols. S4-T2), woodcut animated initials throughout, both works printed on blue paper, a few repairs and some ink stains, 18th-century brown half morocco, folio (342 x 240mm.)⁂ Serlio's monumental work represents the first treatise on architecture in which the illustrations assumed primary importance, leading to its becoming one of the most important architectural books to disseminate knowledge of antique heritage and invention throughout Europe during the Italian Renaissance. This copy, printed on blue paper, contains the first edition of Book iii and is followed by the second edition of Book iv, which originally appeared in Venice in 1537. The work is made up of seven Books, which were published separately according to an order explained by Serlio in his preface to Book iv, although in reality the order was only partially followed. Book iii, on ancient monuments, is dedicated to the King of France, François I, and appeared in Venice in 1540, while Books i and ii, on geometry and perspective, respectively, were published simultaneously in bilingual Italian-French editions in Paris in 1545, after Serlio's move to Fontainebleau. Book v, containing twelve temple designs, followed in 1547; it was the last to be published during Serlio's lifetime, once again in Paris in a bilingual version. Book vi, on domestic architecture, was never published, and survives only in two manuscript versions and a series of trial woodcuts. Finally, Book vii was edited posthumously by Jacopo Strada and published in Frankfurt in 1575. By the early 17th century, Serlio's treatise and its various parts, had been translated into several languages, some as unauthorised editions. Book iii is especially important, and the layout Serlio adopted for it, with its well-balanced blocks of text and images, was later copied by Palladio in his Quattro Libri dell'Architettura of 1570. "The first genuine advance in architectural illustration seems to have been made by Serlio, and his Libro Terzo set the type of architectural illustration in Italy for the rest of the Century" (Fowler). The printer Marcolini, born in Forlì and active in Venice until 1559, issued a handful of copies of his editions published between 1539 and 1540 on large blue paper as presentation or special copies, including Serlio's Book iii and Book iv. These were intended for patrons or very distinguished clientele, as the copy on blue paper of both Books, bound together as they are here, once owned by the Prince of Bibliophiles Jean Grolier (1479-1565) and now in the Bibliothèque nationale de France well attests. The Walters Art Gallery in Baltimore has a copy of each of these Books, while a copy of Book iii only is preserved at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, bequeathed by the great collector W. Gedney Beatty (1869-1942). Copies printed on blue paper of the other Books belonging to Serlio's 'architectural encyclopedia' are not recorded. The early owner of this volume might be identified as the Bolognese antiquarian Francesco Bartoli (1675-1733), who drew numerous copies after antiques, and played a notable role in the reception of the classical tradition during the eighteenth-century, particularly in Britain. It is also likewise possible to attribute to his hand the finely drawn leaves on white paper which replace those lacking on blue paper. Some of Bartoli's drawings preserved in the Eton College Library show plans and decorative elements featured by Serlio in his Book iii, relating to, among other things, the Tempio di Bacco and the decorative mosaics in the vaulting of the Roman Church of S. Costanza, considered by Serlio the ancient Temple of Baccus (see Il terzo libro, fols. C4v-D1r). Provenance: Francesco Bartoli, possibly the Bolognese antiquarian (1675-1733; early ownership inscription on the first title and margins of fol. V3 in first work as well as fol. A4v of second work, partially legible under UV lamp). The marginalia as well as the drawings that replace the missing leaves are attributed to the skilled hand of this early owner.

Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret'Committee' table, model no. LC/PJ-TAT-14-B, designed for the Assembly and Administrative Buildings, Chandigarh, 1963-1964Teak-veneered wood, teak.74 x 362 x 137 cmFootnotes:ProvenanceThe Assembly, ChandigarhLiteratureEric Touchaleaume and Gerald Moreau, Le Corbusier Pierre Jeanneret, The Indian Adventure, Design-Art-Architeture, Paris, 2010, pp. 246-47, 582A UNIQUE HARMONY by architect John O'SheaBuilding the future'It was a matter of occupying the plain. The geometrical event was, in truth, a sculpture of the intellect ... It was a tension ... a battle of space, fought within the mind. Arithmetic, texturique,1 geometrics: it would all be there when the whole was finished' (Le Corbusier, Modulor 2).Following Indian Independence and the resulting partition of India and Pakistan in 1947, a new administrative capital was needed for the Indian Punjab. Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru proclaimed that the building of the new city of Chandigarh was to be 'symbolic of the freedom of India, unfettered by the traditions of the past ... an expression of the nation's faith in the future'. The commission was originally awarded to the American architect Albert Mayer, but after he withdrew from the project, Le Corbusier was approached to work on a masterplan for the new city. Here was the opportunity the great architect had been waiting for since the 1920s: to construct an entire city and thus fully realize his thesis on urban design. After complex negotiations, Le Corbusier agreed to accept the commission on condition that his cousin, and collaborator since 1922, Pierre Jeanneret serve as project architect: 'In 1922 I joined forces with my cousin, Pierre Jeanneret. With loyalty, optimism, initiative and persistence, with good humour ... and in league with the resistance forces of the age we set to work. Two men who understand each other are worth three who stand alone. By never pursuing lucrative goals, by refusing to make compromises, but, rather, being in love with our passionate quest, which is what makes life worth living, we have managed to occupy the entire field of architecture, from the minutest detail to the vast plans of a city' (Le Corbusier, Design 3).The team had a colossal task: to deliver the masterplan, which included infrastructure, landscaping and buildings for uses related to education, government, healthcare and recreation, as well as housing for all of the city's new inhabitants. Le Corbusier saw himself as the 'Spiritual Director' of the project and appointed himself two main tasks: shaping the masterplan and designing the Capitol Complex, the group of buildings dedicated to governance. Jeanneret's role was to run the site office at Chandigarh, overseeing the design and construction of the city as an integrated whole. The MasterplanFaced with the challenge of planning a new city for 500,000 people on a vast rural site, Le Corbusier turned to geometry and his recently patented invention, the Modulor, a proportional system for design based on a set of measurements – relating to the 'golden section' (a ratio of approximately 1:618) – taken from a 'universal' human form, Modulor Man. 'On the 28th March, 1951, at Chandigarh, at sunset, we had set off in a jeep across the still empty site of the capital – Varma, Fry, Pierre Jeanneret and myself. Never had spring been so lovely, the air so pure after a storm the day before, the horizons so clear, the mango trees so gigantic and magnificent. We were at the end of our task (the first): we had created the city (the town plan). I had noticed then that I had lost the box of the Modulor, of the only Modulor strip in existence, made by Soltan in 1945, which had not left my pocket in six years ... A grubby box splitting at the edge.4 During that last visit of the site before my return to Paris, the Modulor had fallen from the jeep onto the soil of the fields that were to disappear to make way for the capital. It is there now, in the very heart of the place, integrated in the soil. Soon it will flower in all the measurements of the first city of the world to be organized all of a piece in accordance with the harmonious scale' (Le Corbusier, Modulor 2).The principles of Albert Mayer's original plan for Chandigarh that aligned with Le Corbusier's theories on urban planning were retained: differentiated zones for civic functions, with residential, industrial, business and governance activities separated by a circulatory transport system. The most radical of Le Corbusier's departures from Mayer's plan was the implementation of an ordered rectilinearity to the masterplan grid. This ordering was governed by the dimensions of a residential sector, a basic unit of 800 x 1200 meters derived from his mathematical system. Each of these sectors was designed as a self-sufficient neighborhood for living, working and leisure, and whose dimensions meant a person could walk to its centre from any point within ten minutes. The sectors were subdivided into 'villages' of around 150 houses – the size of a typical Punjabi village. At Chandigarh, the polemic plans of Le Corbusier's early speculations are tempered by the realities of the site and local context. The iconic towers of the utopian model are replaced with low-slung residential superblocks, and the traffic systems are designed to accommodate native modes of transport including rickshaws and camels. The Capitol ComplexWe are in a plain; the chain of the Himalayas locks the landscape magnificently to the north. The smallest buildings appear tall and commanding. The government buildings are conjugated with one another in a strict ratio of heights and sizes ...' (Le Corbusier, Modulor 2).Le Corbusier envisioned the city as an organism and articulated the layout of Chandigarh accordingly. The Capitol Complex was analogous to the head, the commercial centre to the heart; the university and industrial areas at the city's peripheries were conceived as the limbs, and the green spaces the lungs, with everything connected by the 'arteries' of the transport network. A Complete Work of Art'I say it with pride. Finally, here at 67 years of age ... I was able to erect an architecture which fulfils day to day functions, but which leads to jubilation' (Le Corbusier, Sketchbook 3). The Chandigarh project was Le Corbusier's most important commission, a rare opportunity to create a Gesamtkunstwerk: a 'total work of art' encompassing masterplan, neighborhood layout, landscaping, construction, interiors and furnishings. In the very fabric of the city, and at every scale, lie Le Corbusier 's two great inspirations and disciplines: geometry and symbolism. The arithmetical ratios of the Modulor ensure a harmonious relationship between elements, but it is at the intimate human scale of Chandigarh's furniture, its interior 'equipment', that we can most directly experience the exactitudes and harmony of elegant proportions.The Committee TableThe other great source of Le Corbusier's inspiration was symbolism. Le Corbusier often distilled his design philosophy into elemental symbols. The recurring forms found in the architect's art and buildings were often inspired or directly generated by metaphor, symbol or figurative reference. The enamel-clad doors that form the entra...

Danny LaneUnique and monumental 'Mandorla' sculpture, 2003Hand-cut float glass, stainless steel. 312.5 x 82 x 25 cmFootnotes:Sacred Geometry by Nick WrightBy defacing the surface of glass Danny Lane invites one to look inside a material designed to be seen through. He makes the invisible visible. It began with a visit to Ron Arad's first shop, an old bicycle store, on Endell Street. Arad was showing tables made with scaffold bases and seeing the glass tops Lane felt he 'could do more'. He noticed a chipped sheet and, with Arad's agreement, took it back to his Hackney studio and polished the broken edge. The safe but still fractured line drew the eye into the seemingly infinite green breadth. Having used pliers to replicate accidental breakage, Lane set about the surface. He sandblasted swirls, whorls, scratches and stabs into the glass creating a 'sand blasted drawing'. The jagged pieces, redolent of industrial decline and social facture, sat well on Arad's scaffold bases – and with buyers. French critics coined the term 'ruinism'. Arad, an AA educated architect dislikes it. 'Destruction wasn't on the flag', he says. Lane is less resistant. 'Though the techniques were destructive, they opened up the material to reveal the beauty inherent, its soul'. Both shared a Duchampian quest for what Arad called 'the perfect line'. Designed in its entirety by Lane in 1985, the RSJ table comes close to describing that line. A massive steel RSJ serves as a cross-member. Bolted to one end is a plate of pliered glass, welded to the other an even larger steel. The rusted RSJ was sheared using a torch, ripped apart, then hammered by the industrial machinery that Lane was even then salvaging from London's bankrupt engineering industry.The RSJ table is elegant despite its scale, avant-garde despite his pillaging of a redundant industrial past for materials. Indeed, when his contemporaries were using scrap Victorian ornament to make whimsical, sometimes historicist, even New Romantic forms, Danny Lane created a brutalist monster piece that remains timeless because it is 'right'. Most designers would have produced a sizable edition. Lane made five, all different – of course - before continuing his own quest; to divine the depth of glass. He talks of a conscious break too from making furniture; 'How well I was misplaced'. An American, he had travelled throughout Europe as a young man, entranced by the stained-glass saints illuminating the windows of the great cathedrals. He came to the UK to study glass making under Patrick Reyntiens, took a degree in painting at the Central School of Art and Design, and only though a chance meeting with Ron Arad was he diverted into furniture. Design and art are, despite the protestations of many designers, not equivalent; why limit expression to the representation of a chair or lamp when the imagination is, or feels to be, limitless? That said, there is continuity between, and Danny Lane's career demonstrates this.Mandorla (a medieval architectural frame enclosing a sacred figure) has no utility beyond the aesthetic. Like any artwork its success must be measured in its ability to 'move' as David Hockney put it 'Art has to move you, design does not, unless it's a good design for a bus'. That and its originality. Mandorla succeeds when judged by the first criterion. The pliared edge of each plate draws the eye inside an interior seemingly illuminated by the cold light of a distant sun. Stood before the shard one sees one's reflection as if frozen within. Stand further back and the fall of layered glass awes, not with its scale or technicality of construction, but its elegance despite them. In aesthetic terms Mandorla is a success.In terms of originality the sculpture has antecedents; Danny Lane has done this before. The stacked glass sculptures that grace Canary Wharf, The General motors HQ, make up the balustrade in the Victoria and Albert Museum, and Mandorla itself, were prototyped in chairs he made in the 1980s. Danny Lane did not break with furniture design. He used techniques developed in furniture to continue his quest. That quest is to divine the depth of a material that has entranced him all his life, glass. It is by his own account a spiritual quest and one his work, furniture and sculpture, permits us to accompany him on. His work moves.

(Ital Design).That was a direct quote from the advanced publicity for the Brera Concept in 2003 and could easily be dismissed as 'marketing-speak', however, we all know that when the boys at Alfa dip into their pencil box, the result is usually rather special and, when the production version of the Brera arrived late in 2005, it was met with uniform praise for its exterior and interior styling.It was never meant to be a road-going car - it actually started life as an Ital Design concept car based around a Maserati in 2003, however, Alfa submitted to demand and went ahead with a production version. Developed alongside the 159, the Brera shares exterior and interior styling cues, as well as engines and gearboxes.Launch engines were a choice of 182bhp 2.2-litre and a spine-tingling 256bhp 3.2 V6 petrol engines (utilising GM blocks with Alfa's magic added and bespoke heads) or a 2.4 diesel with 200bhp and 295lb ft of torque. The standard gearbox was a six-speed manual, although the 2.2 could be specified with optional Q-Tronic auto. The 3.2 V6 was very much the performance option and featured four-wheel drive with a Torsen diff, unlike the front-wheel-drive 4 cylinder cars.The fabulous example on offer from the SA30 Collection is a super rare UK-supplied, right-hand drive, top of the Brera range 3.2 V6 JTS Q4 with a 6-speed manual gearbox. It dates from 2006 and is finished in classic Alfa Red with a black leather interior and optioned with 18",7-hole design, alloys.From the comprehensive history file, we can see that it was first registered on 1/09/2006 and joined our vendor's collection on the 24/03/2009 with the one previous owners listed. We understand from our vendor that such was the demand for these sought after Alfas that he had to scour the UK to find one with only three being available at the time.In addition to always being comprehensively maintained by our vendor's in house team, the service record is fully stamped and shows the following;23/08/06 Pre-delivery services23/05/08 1st Service @ 8,732 miles16/03/09 2nd Service @ 12,345 miles19/08/10 Steering and geometry check8/11/14 Oil and Filter change @ 29,995 miles17/12/15 Oil and Filter service @ 32,082 milesThe mileage at the time of cataloguing was 34,338 miles. Within the file are older MOTs going back to the very first, on 8/09/09 @14,814 and the most recent which was issued on 11/06/20 with No Advisories. The original Alfa Romeo Book Pack is immaculate and contains the Service and Warranty Booklet, the Owner's Manual and the Sound System Manual. Pleasingly there is a mint copy of the original Brera/Spider brochure.As you can see from the other cars in the SA30 Collection, over vendor is particularly fastidious when it comes to the condition of his cars and this Alfa is no exception. It presents beautifully outside, inside, under the bonnet, in the boot - everywhere and we think that you would have to go a long way to find a better one. There can be no doubt that this must be a guaranteed 'future classic', with so many great ingredients.NB; The car is VAT qualifying, so 20% needs to be added to the hammer price.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

A great practical classic with occasional four seats and the joy that is a big HealeyOriginally left-hand drive and destined for Miami, FloridaRepatriated to the UK in 2012. Fully restored and converted to right-hand driveClassically finished in gleaming British Racing Green, Black tonneauSilver wire wheels, fresh chrome and a chrome luggage rackSmart black leather interior, Wood rim steering wheel. OverdriveHeritage Certificate, US paperwork, details and photos of the restorationIntroduced in 1956 to replace the Austin-Healey 100 (later known as the 100-4), the 100-6 was a two-seat roadster produced by the British Motor Corporation, initially at Longbridge and later at Abingdon, and remained in production until 1959 when it was replaced by the 3000. Over the years, all three models have become known collectively as "The Big Healeys". A couple of inches longer than its predecessor, the Healey 100, the new model was fitted with a more powerful straight-six engine (BMC-C series previously fitted to the Austin Westminster) producing 102bhp which in 1957 was improved to 117bhp. Externally, the car differed by being slightly more streamlined, having a smaller, wider grille, an air scoop on the bonnet and a fixed windscreen. The car was marketed as being more luxurious than its predecessor, however, the luxury was obviously comparative as the 1957 brochure claims "To suit individual needs, there are numerous items of equipment such as a heater, overdrive and wire wheels which can be fitted at extra cost". Another "Wow" factor from the brochure is the availability of "Aluminium framed side-screens which have one fixed and one sliding panel for ventilation or hand signalling" The 100/6's performance was quite exciting for the period, roaring up to 60mph in just over 10 seconds and going on to 104 miles an hour at a time when a Ford Popular would struggle to reach 70mph. This latest Healey was available in two model designations, the 2+2 BN4 from 1956 onwards and 2 seat BN6 in 1958/9 and was listed in 1958 at £1,307 including purchase tax.Amongst Big Healey aficionados, the 100/6 is the one to have in terms of purity. The earlier 100/4s, whilst gorgeous to look at were a bit "agricultural" and are now becoming very expensive whilst the later 3000s were being adorned with more and more creature comforts with the consequential increase in weight. As long as the 100/6 was properly set up with attention to camber and castor and all the other factors in suspension geometry, they handled superbly and were a dream to drive. With the top down, the burble from the exhaust note was a delight in a 1950s, six-cylinder, down a country lane in a black and white movie, sort of way and on the overrun had more 'snap, crackle and pop' than a box of Rice Crispies. Offered here from the Antony Hamilton Collection is an Austin Healey 100-Six 2+2 (BN4) finished in British Racing Green with a black leather interior. The Heritage Certificate confirms that it was destined for the North American market originally finished in Ivory White and delivered to a dealer in Miami, Florida. The specification included wire wheels, overdrive and a heater. It was repatriated to the UK in 2012 when it was fully restored and professionally converted to right-hand drive. The history file contains various receipts and sales invoices from a dealer in Birmingham, Alabama from 1995. There is also a photographic record of the restoration showing the original state and the finished article.This is a great practical classic with occasional four seats and the joy that is a big Healey.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.
