Then they held my head back and forced this Nasal tube, which was most agonising... I did not know how to breathe... What I went through all that night I cannot tell... pains in my head, pains in my ears, and my nose was pouring all night through and I was vomiting all night through... I simply felt mad to think that anybody could be so cruel... 'Now take my advice and take the cup' [the Doctor said] 'I tell you I won't; you shall carry me out a corpse first'... With that the gag was put in my mouth. The same performance gone through... I could see that tears were in the eyes of many of the wardresses...'), 7 leaves, 3 on lined paper, dust-staining, creases and marks, folio (335 x 210mm.), Birmingham, 30 June 1912ii) Correspondence from Emmeline Pethick Lawrence and Lady Constance Lytton to Emily Duval, including: Autograph letter signed ('Emmeline Pethick Lawrence') to Emily Duval ('My dear Mrs Duval'), paying tribute to her work for the cause ('...I see you now clearly in that Hospital Ward at Holloway... all those troubles are forgotten now and we rejoice together at what they won for others... I think of Lady Constance & Emily Davidson... I have been having letters lately from Christabel in Canada. She is very well & happy & so is Mrs Pankhurst. They have four adopted children... I had the great pleasure of being at Mrs Despard's birthday party... The longer I live, the more thankful I am that I was allowed to be one of that great fighting comradeship that changed the status of women...'), 9 pages, creased, some marks, 8vo (180 x 118mm.), Gomshall, Surrey, 15 October 1924; Autograph letter signed 'Constance Lytton' to Mrs Duval ('Dear Mrs Duval') sending a photograph of herself and asking for one in return '...as a remembrance of our time together in Holloway Remand Hospital...

She was imprisoned several times, notably in February 1909 when she served six weeks in Holloway. It is there she met Constance Lytton, who makes mention of her in Prison and Prisoners and later, as seen here, wrote to her reminiscing about their time together: '...I wish people who scoff at our imprisonments could know more of what you have had to suffer in Holloway...' she writes. In 1911 Emily rejoined the WSPU, preferring their more militant stance, and threw herself into their campaign of window smashing and was arrested and imprisoned several times. On 26 March 1912 she began a six month's sentence at Winson Green Prison in Birmingham. At the end of four months in prison she joined in the hunger strike and was forcibly fed. Her harrowing account of this ordeal is included here and she received an illuminated scroll in recognition (see lot....). Amongst her papers is a letter dated 1924 from Emmeline Pethick Lawrence who gives news of Emmeline and Christabel Pankhurst and writes in gratitude '...I think of Lady Constance & Emily Davidson & of you & many others... whose lives have helped to make our present work possible...'.Her husband Ernest and children Victor, Elsie, Norah, Laura, Winifred and Barbara were all involved in the cause, some also going to prison, their names included in the Roll of Honour. Also included in the lot is a photograph of three of the Duval sisters reading a copy of Votes for Women and a newspaper cutting from the Daily Sketch of 1912 reporting on the wedding of Una Dugdale and Victor Duval in which the caption speculates controversially on whether the bride agreed to 'obey' her husband. Tragically, three of the Duval daughters – Winifred, Elsie and Barbara - did not live long enough to see the vote (see Crawford, E., The Women's Suffrage Movement: A Reference Guide 1866-1928, 1999, for detailed information on the Duval family). Provenance: Sotheby's, 15 December 1987, lot 244 (part).For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The history of the Sportster in the Harley Davidson range can be traced back to the introduction of the side valve K series machines introduced in 1952. Intended to compete with the overhead valve 500cc British machines on both the track and the road, the new models were considerably lighter than their overhead valve brothers. The next major step in the evolution of the range came in 1957 when the overhead valve 883cc XL series of machines was introduced to be joined at the beginning of the 1970's by a larger capacity variant initially displacing 997cc. Whilst the 883cc engine size would remain a constant, continuing to this day, the larger variant would undergo two further increases in capacity, the first coming in 1986 with the introduction of the Evo 1100cc the second in 1988 when the 1200cc engine was adopted. Throughout production the Sportster, in both capacities, has retained its slim, stripped down appearance, with the 883 proving to be particularly popular with riders purchasing their first Harley.This iconic motorcycle is presented in metallic grey and has only covered a mere 9,940 miles from new. The present owner had the bike fully recommissioned in 2020 which included a new drivebelt, new battery and serviced. It has covered zero miles since 2020 and has been stored carefully. A great touring bike with low mileage, ready to use!

10,000 KMS from new2006 Buell XB12R Firebolt 1203ccFrame no. 5MZAX14J053100510Footnotes:Buell 1,203cc XB12R Firebolt – 2006Cadre n° 5MZAX14J053100510Pour une marque qui n'existait pas il y a quarante ans, Buell a effectué un beau parcours en relativement peu de temps, avant sa triste disparition survenue il y a peu. Fondée par Erik Buell, cette firme s'était forgé une image de marque originale en construisant une gamme de motos sportives à moteur Harley-Davidson, qui alliait le traditionnel couple 'de tracteur' des bicylindres du Milwaukee à un châssis à l'état de l'art, dessiné avec les dimensions et la géométrie d'une 250 de Grand Prix. La production de Buell augmentant régulièrement, Harley-Davidson s'impliqua de plus en plus dans l'entreprise, jusqu'à en prendre le contrôle. Désormais soutenu par les ressources de H-D, Erik Buell fut en mesure de pousser un cran plus loin son concept, et il lança en 2002 la Série XB au tout nouveau cadre poutre en alliage d'aluminium. Toujours à la pointe de l'innovation, ce dernier stockait l'essence dans ses longerons principaux et l'huile dans son bras oscillant.Cette Buell XB12R de sport affiche 10 029 km au compteur ; elle est munie d'un certificat de conformité émis par le constructeur et de documents d'immatriculation belges.2006 Buell 1,203cc XB12R FireboltFrame no. 5MZAX14J053100510A marque that didn't exist 40 years ago, Buell travelled a long way in a relatively short time before its recent sad demise. Founded by Erik Buell, the company established its own unique brand image, building a range of Harley-Davidson-powered sports bikes combining the Milwaukee twin's traditional 'stump pulling' torque with a state-of-the art chassis possessing the dimensions and geometry of a Grand Prix 250. As Buell production steadily increased so did Harley-Davidson's stake in the company, which would come to own outright. With H-D's resources behind him, Erik Buell was able to take his unique concept a stage further, introducing an entirely new aluminium-alloy beam chassis on the XB Series in 2002. Innovative as ever, the latter contained fuel within its main spars and oil in the swinging arm.Currently displaying a total of 10,029km, this Buell XB12R sports roadster comes with a manufacturer's Certificate of Conformity and Belgian registration papers.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
