Alexandre Bida (French, 1813-1895)The Persian Barber signed 'Bida' (lower right)pencil and chalk46 x 37cm (18 1/8 x 14 9/16in).Footnotes:Alexandre Bida's technique, scratching back the black layer of graphite and creating a multitude of fine hatchings to reveal the white ground beneath, is ably demonstrated in the present lot. Creating a work in chiaroscuro, the work stands in contrast to many of the artist's contemporaries, who opted for rich colours to represent an exotic Orient, full of sensuality and eroticism.The present lot makes an interesting comparison with Café in Constantinople (1847, Cleveland Museum of Art), showing the same objects - a round table, coffee pots, the chibouk pipe- which Bida would have documented during his travels around Greece, Turkey and Syria. It was also the basis of an illustration in the Parisian journal L'Illustration, September, 1849, as well as a popular travel guidebook by Adolphe Laurent Joanne entitled Voyage en Orient, 1850. In both editions, the illustrations were made by a contemporary engraver and the barber is said to be Armenian instead of Persian.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Executed in the early 1980s, the work comes from a seminal decade that would become a definitive period in the artist's oeuvre. His characterful hares have become established as popular landmarks in cities and landscapes worldwide and are included in institutional collections including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., and the Tate Gallery in London, among others. This present work is from an edition of five, the most prominent of which is in the Minneapolis Sculpture Park on permanent display where it is widely visited and admired. 1979 marked Flanagan's departure from his post-minimalist works of the 1960s and 1970s where he used 'soft' materials such as hessian, sand and rope and rediscovered bronze casting in a figurative form. Flanagan began to produce a variety of bronze animals, but the hare emerged as his most recognisable subject. Flanagan grew up in Wales where hunters described to him the dynamism and physicality of hares and how their determination was unparalleled as they bounded through the wilderness. However, it was Flanagan's recollection of seeing a hare majestically leaping through the Sussex Downs and upon reading 'The Leaping Hare' by George Ewart Evans and David Thomson, that first inspired him to explore the motif. His earliest work Leaping Hare was exhibited at Waddington Galleries in 1980; it was the debut of what would lay the foundation for his future artistic practice, and two years later, in 1982, he represented Britain at the Venice Biennale. Flanagan was fascinated by the hare's anthropomorphic potential - its ability to amplify a range of expressive characteristics and convey meaning beyond what he felt possible in the human form. 'I use the hare as a vehicle to entertain. I abstract from the human figure, choosing the hare to behave as a human occasionally.' (The artist in: Enrique Juncosa, Barry Flanagan Sculpture 1965-2005, exh. Cat, Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin, 2006). Harebell on Portland stone piers conceived in 1983, exudes playfulness and bountiful energy. Flanagan was fascinated by the fluidity of the hare's anatomy. The hare, who actually delightfully spins on its axle, is depicted mid leap with its out-stretched limbs fully flexed, its ears pull behind him emphasising the velocity of movement, offering an exceptional sense of drama. The hare appears weightless, defying gravity, as it glides over the bell providing a comical contrast to the weightiness of the medium. The solidity of the bell provides further contrast emphasising a force of gravity, whilst also being a symbol of steadfast solidarity. Upon leaving St Martin's School of Art in 1966 Flanagan had established himself as a leading figure of the avant-garde. He was fascinated by the movement of 'Pataphysics, a theory defined as a 'science of imaginary solutions'. The ideologies represented an escape from reality that challenged academic seriousness and these principles had a profound influence on the Dada and Surrealist movements. An early member of this movement was Joan Miró, who in 1925 produced Landscape (The Hare). Miró depicts a hare in a vibrant imagined landscape adding a spiralled form and crescent shaped object. The hare challenges the viewer with its fixated eyes characterising its bold spirit. Miró, much like Flanagan, was said to have been inspired by seeing a hare dart across a field. It is considered that Flanagan used the motif of the hare as a metaphor for his own elusive, wild character and in response to the ideologies of 'Pataphysics as a tool against strict avant-garde academicism and the over-intellectualised view of art from that period. The present work was acquired by the prominent American collector and philanthropist Gerard L. Cafesjian. Born in 1925 in Brooklyn to Armenian immigrant parents, Mr. Cafesjian became a highly successful editor at West Publishing - a firm specialising in legal materials - and spearheaded the launch of the annual 'Art and the Law' exhibition, for which he received the prestigious Business in the Arts Award. Mr. Cafesjian's passion for collecting began with a childhood fascination with geology and gemstones, which later branched into fine art. Over the years, he patroned and developed personal relationships with world-renowned sculptors and ultimately assembled an impressive collection of both lapidary and fine works of art.Harebell on Portland stone piers is a seamless example of Barry ...

"Early in 1965, Eduardo Paolozzi began work on a massive project to create from his eclectic and unique collection of twentieth century ephemera a definitive statement of modern man and his dilemma, in the form of a 500 page book. The first volume of this project, 'Moonstrips Empire News', comprising 100 pages of images and text, was screenprinted at Kelpra Studios, London, and published by Editions Alecto in 1967. In the second volume, 'General Dynamic F.U.N.', Eduardo Paolozzi has broken still further away from accepted fine art printing techniques by brilliantly exploiting the potential of photolithography as well as screenprinting" (from the general introduction). "... Here the familiar materials of our everyday lives, the jostling iconographies of mass advertising and consumer goods, are manipulated to reveal their true identities. For those who can read its pages, 'General Dynamic F.U.N.' is a unique guidebook to the electric garden of our minds" (from J. G. Ballard's introduction).

LiteratureDiary of Christine Bicknell, 1842-55 (National Library of Scotland, Edinburgh, acc. 7663).Helen Guiterman and Briony Llewellyn, David Roberts, London and Oxford, 1986, p. 103.PublishedLithograph by Robert Carrick published by John Harvey, Sidmouth, c.1845, as Sidmouth. From Salcombe Hill. Edinburgh-born David Roberts lived in London from 1822 but travelled extensively in Britain and abroad throughout his life. Many of his sketches, notably those of Spain and the Near East, became well known through engraved or lithographed reproductions. Among the latter are three views of Sidmouth, lithographed by Robert Carrick after drawings by Roberts and first published by the local 'Printer, Bookbinder and Librarian' John Harvey of Sidmouth, then republished in London.Sidmouth, on the south-west coast of England in Devon, lies at the mouth of the River Sid between two commanding cliffs, Peak Hill and Salcombe Hill. It developed as a fashionable resort and 'sea bathing' health spa in the early 19th century. Although it never became as popular as Brighton (which was closer to London and connected by train thirty years earlier), Sidmouth has similar elegant Regency buildings, many of which were available to rent. Roberts visited Sidmouth in June 1845 to stay with his daughter and son-in-law, Christine and Henry Sanford Bicknell, who were on a six-week holiday with their young children. 'I have no doubt the Attic will do famously,' he wrote to Henry on 27 May, 'so tell Christen [sic] not to put herself out of the way.' Henry must have mentioned the publishing proposal for views of Sidmouth, as Roberts added: 'My respects to the worthy Publisher, and if the subject is a good one tell him if he is a good fellow – I will do it for love but not all the houses' (Letter from Roberts to Henry Sanford Bicknell, 27 May 1845, private collection).After arriving on 12 June, Roberts found himself 'quite fascinated with the place,' according to Christine's diary note. On the following day Roberts made a sketch of Sidmouth looking eastwards 'from the verandah of Beacon Place, Peak Hill' (Yale Center for British Art, New Haven). This is likely the house where they were staying, as on similar holiday in 1848, when Roberts again visited, the family rented Beacon Cottage (probably the house now known as The Beacon). Carrick made an almost exact lithographic copy of Roberts's drawing. A similar view looking westwards along the beachfront (whereabouts unknown) was lithographed by Carrick and published by Harvey as Sidmouth. Western View. To get a more extensive view westwards and encompass 'the houses' that publisher Harvey appears to have requested, Roberts climbed up Salcombe Hill a week later and made the present lot. Christine and Henry accompanied him, and Christine also drew or painted. 'My Father made a beautiful sk[etch],' she noted in her diary on 20 June, '& H[enr]y read to us.' Whereas the other two lithographed views were contained on a single sketchbook page, Roberts here used a double-page spread: the join at the sketchbook seam is clearly visible (off-centre, as the right-hand page has been trimmed). This view extends from the English Channel across the town and inland, taking in the beach and Esplanade, with Chit Rocks jutting into the sea. Peak Hill is in the centre distance; behind are the highland of Otterton, and the eroded cliff stacks Big Picket Rock and Little Picket Rock. Along the central Esplanade are 'comfortable lodging houses, with every accommodation for large and small families,' as described in a mid-19th-century guidebook published by Harvey. 'The amphitheatre of ocean and mountain scenery, presented from this long and beautiful walk, where the pure and fresh breezes sweeping over the sea are inhaled, is . . . a favourite promenade of fashionable parties.' Some of the Regency buildings have copper-roofed balconies. 'The York, Bedford and Marine Hotels, together with a Library, Billiard, Reading, and Concert Rooms,' were situated in this part of the town, as well as 'shops of almost every description' and the London Hotel, in which were the Assembly Rooms.On the far right of the drawing is the distinctive tower of St Giles and St Nicholas church, which would be almost all that remained of the building when it was much altered and extended in 1859-60. Peak Hill behind is dotted with some of the 'mansions, villas and cottages' that 'form an attractive part of Sidmouth', according to the Victorian guidebook. Many were 'let as lodging houses ready furnished, with coach-houses, stables, &c.,' forming 'delightful abodes for small and genteel families' like the Bicknells.Harvey sold, printed and published many prints of Sidmouth and books relating to the area. Henry Sanford Bicknell may have been a customer and Harvey would have leapt at the opportunity of inviting Roberts to make images that were certain to be popular souvenirs. In addition to their publication in Sidmouth, the lithographs by Carrick after Roberts's drawings were hand-tinted and published by Harvey in London, in partnership with D. Bogue of Fleet Street. Smaller uncoloured versions were also published by Day & Haghe.We are grateful to Krystyna Matyjaszkiewicz for compiling this catalogue entry.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

18th CENTURY PROVENANCE ROMAN LEAD "PIG" / INGOT YORKSHIRE, UNITED KINGDOM, 81 A.D. cast lead, of rectangular form, with a raised inscription which reads: 'IMPERATORE CAESARE DOMITIANO AUGUSTO CONSULE SEPTIMUM’ referring to the Emperor Domitian's seventh consulate, inscribed on one side with the word: ‘BRIG’ indicating the ingot was produced in the territory of the Brigantes tribe(58.5 x 10.5 x 13.5cm, weight approximately 69.8kg)Footnote: Provenance: Sir Thomas Ingilby Baronet, Ripley Castle, North Yorkshire. The piece is accompanied by a copy of a document dated to 1768 saying that this ingot and another similar one were discovered c. 1731 in a peat bog on Hayshaw Moor, near Greenho' Hill, close to Pately Bridge, North Yorkshire. The item was subsequently recorded in the Ripley Castle Guidebook as having been kept on a radiator shelf. It has been documented since its discovery in various inventories, including the inventory of the effects of Sir Henry Day Ingilby, dated 29th April 1890. The other ingot discovered alongside this piece was bequeathed to the British Museum in 1772, where it still resides (accession no. 1772.9-11.1). Bonhams, London, Antiquities, 26 th April 2007, lot 303, sold for £36,000 including premium. Note: The inscription on this ingot allows us to date it quite precisely, it records the Emperor Domitian’s seventh consulate, placing the making of this lead ingot to the latter part of 81 AD. The word ‘BRIG’ indicates it was produced in the territory of the Brigantes, a tribe that was settled across much of modern-day northern England. This would fit well given the ingots discovery location near Pateley Bridge and its proximity to the ancient lead mines at Wharfedale. The political situation in Britain at the time was highly volatile. The Brigantes were riven by a split between the pro and anti-Roman factions. Following the chaos of the Year of Four Emperors in 69 AD, the pro Roman Queen of the Brigantes, Cartimandua (from the Celtic ‘Sleek Pony’) was deposed by her former husband and leader of the anti-Roman faction, Venutius. The chroniclers are not entirely clear, but it appears large swathes of Britain had to be abandoned by the Romans in the chaos that followed. Clawing back the northern territories they had lost took a number of years, with the Brigantes resorting to their superior knowledge of the hills, forests and valleys, striking at the invading forces with hit and run tactics. In 79 AD the governor Agricola came north with an overwhelming force, pushing through the Brigantes territory into Caledonia, potentially as far north as the Firth of Tay, all the while building forts and forward operating bases. Though this appears to have quietened the situation somewhat, pockets of resistance throughout the Brigantes nominal territory remained for several decades. By 81 AD, at the time this ingot was produced, Agricola was campaigning in the Southern Uplands of modern Scotland and the situation remained fragile. It is therefore likely that the location where this precious material was being mined was heavily guarded and remained at risk of attack. Such was the value of lead to the Romans, they pushed ahead with its production through this volatile period. The mines of ancient Britain were crucial to the Roman Empire. Indeed, the local Celtic tribes had traded raw metals across the continent for millennia and the mineral wealth of Britain had been famous all around the Classical World prior to its invasion by the Emperor Claudius in 43 AD. After the subjugation, British lead was exported all over the Empire, used in the aqueducts and plumbing that allowed Rome to grow its cities and to develop its agriculture.

James Dunbar was the custodian of the Castle when he wrote and published this guidebook. James Clerk Rattray (known by his second name) served with the 90th Light Infantry in the Crimea from the 4th December 1854, including the siege and fall of Sebastopol, and was severely wounded at the assault of the Redan on the 8th September (Medal with Clasp and Turkish Medal). He served also during the Indian campaign of 1857-58, and was present with Havelock's Column at the relief and subsequent defence of Lucknow (twice mentioned in despatches), defence of the Alumbagh under Outram, and capture of Lucknow by Lord Clyde (Medal with Clasp).

MAURO, LUCIOLE ANTICHITÀ DELLA CITTÀ DI ROMA BREVISSIMAMENTE RACCOLTE DA CHIUNQUE HÀ SCRITTO, Ò ANTICO, Ò MODERNO Venice: appresso Giordano Ziletti, 1562. 8vo., printer's device on the title page, 19th century blind stamped and ruled calf, arms stamped in blind on the upper cover, by Christie, title page a little dusty and with early repairs to the outer edges, lacking last two leaves (the first with a device on the verso, the second a blank) with the bookplates of John and Michael BuryProvenance: From the Library of the Late John Bernard Bury Note: USTC 841614. First published in 1542, this guidebook also contains Ulisse Androvandi's Delle statue antiche. The arms on the upper cover are the Marital Arms of Sir George Granville Leveson-Gower, KG, the 1st Duke of Sutherland and Elizabeth Sutherland, the Countess of Sutherland. Sir George was the eldest son of Granville Leveson-Gower, the 1st Marquess of Stafford and his second wife, Lady Louisa Egerton, the daughter and eventual co-heiress of Scroop Egerton, the 1st Duke of Bridgwater, whilst Elizabeth was the second and surviving daughter of William Sutherland, the 18th Earl of Sutherland and his wife, Mary Maxwell, the daughter and co-heiress of William Maxwell, of Preston in the County of Kirkcudbrightshire. George was appointed a Knight of the Garter when the 2nd Marquess of Stafford on the 22nd March 1805. Given the date of George's elevation within the peerage and his death we may presume that he commissioned the binding of this book (undoubtedly with others) sometime between January 1833, the month of his creation as the Duke of Sutherland and July 1833 the month of his death. It has not been not possible to identify the particular Christie from the Scottish Book Trade Index.
