COOK (JAMES)[MAGRA (JAMES)] A Journal of a Voyage Round the World, in His Majesty's Ship Endeavour, in the Years 1768, 1769, 1770, and 1771... To which is added a Concise Vocabulary of the Language of Otahitee, FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE, with the dedication leaf to Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander, early half calf over marbled boards, spine label lettered in gilt ('Cooke's Journal'), slightly rubbed [Hill 1066, without dedication; Holmes 3], 4to (265 x 200mm.), T. Becket and P.A. De Hondt, 1771Footnotes:THE FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE OF THE FIRST PUBLISHED ACCOUNT OF COOK'S FIRST VOYAGE TO THE PACIFIC, AND THE FIRST TO DESCRIBE THE DISCOVERY OF THE EAST COAST OF AUSTRALIA. This account was surreptitiously edited and published less than three months after the return of the expedition, and nearly two years before John Hawkesworth's official account. The dedication leaf to the Admiralty, Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander (with note 'Place this next to the Title' in lower margin) implied their approval of its publication. However these parties immediately published an advertisement denying all knowledge of this work and the dedication was quickly removed - the result being that very few copies exist with this suppressed leaf. The authorship of the work is still not confirmed, but it generally attributed to James Magra, an American-born midshipman on board the Endeavour.Provenance: Thomas Wickins (1767-1842) of Bath, ownership inscription dated 1805 on the front free endpaper; probably bequeathed with the rest of his library to his friend John Williams (1794-1859), 2nd Baronet Williams of Bodelwyddan; thence to his daughter Margaret Maria Hay-Williams (1844-1930); thence by descent to the present owner.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

* WILLIAM BIRNIE RSW RGI (SCOTTISH 1929 - 2006), THE CAMPSIES FROM BALFRON oil on board, signed and dated '56, titled label verso image size 58.5cm x 71.5cm, overall size 65.5cm x 78.5cm Framed. Handwritten artist's label verso. Note: A relatively rare early work, completed when the artist was in his mid-twenties. Not obvious at first is the bull lurking behind the tree and looking with interest as a small herd of cows are arriving in the field below. Note 2: Bill Birnie studied at Glasgow School of Art under Gilbert Spencer and then at Hospitalfield under Ian Fleming. After graduating, he joined the staff at Hyndland Secondary School in 1952. That same year he was also elected a member of the Society of Scottish Artists (SSA). In 1958, he became a founder member of the Glasgow Group and formed the Glasgow Group Society, of which he was Vice-President for 32 years. In 1965, he was elected a member of the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour (RSW), a society of which he also became Vice-President and Treasurer. He became Principal Art Teacher at Douglas Academy, near Bearsden, and later at Gryffe High, near Kilbarchan. Bill's abilities not only as a teacher but also as an administrator were noticed by the Department of Education and he was soon appointed Head Examiner in Art for Scotland. He still managed to maintain a very active exhibiting schedule, and showed in all the main public galleries and many of Scotland's best commercial galleries. His work was enthusiastically collected and increasingly sought after. He was elected a member of the Royal Glasgow Institute of Fine Art (RGI) and of the Paisley Art Institute (PAI). In the early years, he painted from his garden, showing the village of Kilbarchan in its changing seasons, under a quiet blanket of winter snow, or framed in a blazing sunset through autumnal trees. Later visits to France and Italy with his artist wife, Cynthia Wall, whom he married in 1953, brought new subject matter, cafe scenes, vine groves, Italian clifftop villages, and the crumbling facades of palaces and churches of Venice. It was characteristic of the man that when told that his illness was terminal, he calmly put his affairs in order and started work for a final one-man show at the Open Eye Gallery (Edinburgh) the scene of so many of his successful shows. Unsurprisingly, the exhibition was a complete sell-out. In recent years there has been a widely acknowledged acceleration in the prices achieved at auctions around the UK for William Birnie's paintings. In the Scottish Contemporary Art Auction of 8th November 2020 lot 567 "The Red House" a 60 x 90cm oil sold for £3000 (hammer) which, not for the first time in recent years, set a new auction record for a painting by William Birnie.
