Adams L735; Borba de Moraes I p. 418; Sabin 41366; cf. Lipperheide 1454-5. Rare first edition in Latin, the second overall, and the first to contain the important Barentsz map of the Arctic regions, 'Deliniatio cartae trium navigationum per Batavos, ad Septentrionalem plagam', populated by imaginary sea-monsters. The plates, which include views, city plans, local costumes and customs, and botanical subjects, are the same as those in the Dutch first edition of 1596 with Latin captions added. 'Linschoten was born in Haarlem, Holland, in 1563. In 1583 he sailed to India with Vicente da Fonseca, archbishop of Goa. He remained there until 1589, the year of his master's death, when he returned to Holland. Later, in 1594, he joined the expedition which, under the command of Nay, Brandt and Barentz, made discoveries in the China Sea. Linschoten died in Holland in 1633' (Borba de Moraes). His wide-ranging account is considered 'the real starting point of Dutch overseas expansion' (Helmers & Jannsen, eds., The Cambridge Companion to the Dutch Golden Age, p. 168). This copy notably retains the two large folding plans of Goa and Angra by Jan van Doetechem after Linschoten, and the two folding views of St Helena. (The list of plates lists one plan of St Helena but the two present are evidently separate engravings.) The other folding plate is 'Forum seu praeconium Goae'. The extant maps are: Delineatio orarum maritimarum, terrae vulgo indigetatae terra do Natal, item Sofalae, Mozambicae, et Melindae ... ad Indiam ...

Borba de Moares notes that copies rarely contain all the maps as the book was widely used by explorers long after publication.

Boats: A cedar strip canoe by the Lakefield Canoe Company, with two pairs of paddles and applied makers’ plaques , length 485cm; beam 82cm Lakefield Canoe was a Canadian canoe company established in 1858 in Lakefield, Ontario. One of the leading makers was Walter Walker, born 1907. From 1937 to 1942, he built cedar-strip sail boats for George Cook at Sail-Craft in Lakefield. When that company closed as a result of the demands of war production, he found work with the Peterborough Canoe Company and spent the next 20 years there, from 1942 to 1961. In 1959, at the age of 52, he was appointed foreman, overseeing the work of 100 men in the factory. The Peterborough Canoe Company closed in late 1961. The following year, Walker returned to another Lakefield company, RILCO Industries, to build canoes for Jack Richardson, who had been manager of the Peterborough Canoe Company. Walter eventually became plant manager at RILCO, a position he held until 1967 when that company also closed its doors. As he had done many times before, driven by his passion to build boats, Walter moved on to Peel Marine in Lakefield where he built and repaired canoes until he retired in 1986. Many of the canoes Walker built at Peel Marine are treasured by their owners to this day; they are visible and distinctive at the various annual regattas in and around the Kawartha Lakes and farther afield. One such craft, built in 1977, was commissioned by the Village of Lakefield as a gift to HRH Prince Andrew, at the time a Lakefield College School student and now Patron of the Canadian Canoe Museum. That item is presently part of Royal Canoes exhibit at the Canadian Canoe Museum, on loan from its owner.

A robot "daggit", Muffit II, from Glen A. Larson's sci-fi television show Battlestar Galactica. In the Twelve Colonies, dogs were called "daggits". Boxey's (Noah Hathaway) daggit, Muffit, was lost during the destruction of Caprica after the Cylons invaded. He received a robotic version, Muffit II, from Dr. Wilker (John Dullaghan) while on board the Galactica during the first episode, "Saga of a Star World". This is one of two Muffit IIs known to exist from the original show. The daggit was portrayed by a chimpanzee wearing the costume. It comprises a foam core with faux-fur and silver foam panels. The body, legs, arms, feet and head are all separate pieces. The creature features electronic components in the form of rotating ears and an opening mouth driven by servos that would have been operated on set via a remote control, which is no longer present. The item has been previously restored and features new interior foam in places under the fur and new eye spheres that colour-match the originals. Both ears are replicas, and some of the silver tabs that adorn the side of the neck and arms have been repaired and restored. Given the age of the costume, no attempt has been made to operate the electronic components and the piece does not come with a controller. Muffit II has some wear from production use, age and storage, including some scratching and scuffing, most notably on the feet. The joints on the feet, arms and neck exhibit glue residue from repair. Dimensions: 101.5 cm x 68.5 cm x 46 cm (40" x 27" x 18")£15000-25000 M *Contains electronics; see electronics notice in the Buyer's Guide
An animatronic Predator shoulder cannon from Paul W.S. Anderson's sci-fi action film AVP: Alien vs. Predator. The Yautja, more commonly known as Predators, wore their shoulder weapons as they performed their rites of passage, battling xenomorphs in an ancient, submerged pyramid. Alexa Woods (Sanaa Lathan) was saved by the Predator Scar (Ian Whyte) after his cannon was returned to him, and he used it to kill numerous xenomorphs during her desperate escape. The shoulder cannon (also known as a Plasmacaster) is one of the Predator's signature weapons. It fires plasma bolts (typically pale blue in colour) which explode on contact with a target. While the plasma in the film was achieved through the use of visual effects, the motion of the cannon was practical, achieved using animatronics. This item is largely made of fibreglass and resin, painted faux silver and grey to give the impression of tarnished metal. The cannon features Yautja lettering throughout, faux vents and buttons on the front shoulder panel, a crosshatch design on the front chest support, faux cables on the back-left side and faux wires and circuit designs on the lever arm of the cannon. It shows some signs of age and production use. Dimensions: 64 cm x 35 cm x 47 cm (25 1/4" x 13 3/4" x 18 1/2")£4000-6000 Ω *Contains electronics; see electronics notice in the Buyer's Guide

A makeup reference cast and archive photos used to create the prosthetics for John Merrick's (John Hurt) head, from the production of David Lynch's biopic drama The Elephant Man. The film was nominated for eight Academy Awards, but there was no category for makeup at the time. The intricate prosthetics created by Christopher Tucker was so admired that there was widespread criticism of the Academy for failing to honour his team's work. Such was the impact and influence of the film's makeup effects that the next year the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences created an award category for Best Makeup and Hairstyling.The lot consists of a painted plaster cast of John Merrick's head from Tucker's production workshop; 40 Polaroids depicting the creative and experimental process behind assembling the unique shape of Merrick's skull, teeth, face and jaw (one of which shows Tucker in his workshop face to face with a plaster cast); 16 large photographs, 10 of which depict headshots of Merrick, and six depicting Tucker working on and maintaining the prosthetics in his studio. This plaster head cast can be seen in the images, between Tucker and Hurt in the workshop. The photographs provide a rare glimpse behind the scenes of The Elephant Man and Tucker himself has stated that the colour photographs are the only ones of the Elephant Man that exist. The item shows minimal signs of wear and aging, and the 16 large photos and Polaroids show printer and exposure faults. However, the plaster makeup reference remains in very good condition. Dimensions (cast): 76 cm x 61 cm x 50 cm (29 3/4" x 24" x 19 3/4"); (large photos): 61 cm x 51 cm (24" x 20"); (medium photos): 21 cm x 25 cm (8 1/2" x 9 3/4")£5000-7000 M
A production-used clapperboard from the production of Steven Spielberg's action-adventure sequel Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade.

Multiple lines have been painted on it to create fields for slate, take and date. "Vistavision" and "23rd July 88, Interior" have been handwritten in black on two strips of adhesive canvas tape. The back of the board features additional strips of tape, creating five filled-in sections titled lens, distance, stop, height and angle. The clapperboard exhibits wear, including corrosion on the metal hinge, scratched surfaces and evidence of chalk marks. Several marks are present on the lot and the edges of the tape have begun to peel away in the bottom-right corner. Dimensions: 1.5 cm x 38 cm x 35 cm (3/4" x 15" x 13 3/4")£4000-6000 M

Superman's (Christopher Reeve) tunic, leggings and pants from Sidney J. Furie's superhero sequel Superman IV: The Quest for Peace. Superman wore his costume throughout the film as he fought against Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman) and his powerful "son" Nuclear Man (Mark Pillow), who was born in the Sun after Superman's "genetic matrix" was attached to a nuclear weapon and launched into the star. This instantly recognisable and iconic costume was custom-made for Reeve, and each item features a label from the costumiers Burman's & Nathan's, which reads, "Christopher Reeve 4913 Flying Superman IV", indicating that this costume was designed for the scenes in which Superman is airborne. All three parts of the costume feature slits down the sides for a harness to be attached to Reeve, allowing him to easily achieve his iconic flying pose. Superman's long-sleeved tunic is made of polyamide, a specially blended synthetic fabric designed to provide some stretch, while limiting visible signs of sweat during use under the heat of production lighting. The fabric was also designed to create a shimmering effect when illuminated. The tunic displays Superman's classic "S" logo in red and gold on the chest, and has a hidden zipper at the back, with four black metal poppers running along the shoulders to attach the cape. The leggings and pants are made of the same material and feature elasticated waistbands. "C.F.1." and "C.F.3" have been handwritten in black pen in the waistbands of the leggings and pants respectively. The lot displays wear from production use and age. On the front of the tunic there are four long strips where the fabric has been damaged, and attempts have been made to stitch it back together. Some of the stitching has become plucked and loose, and there are small areas of staining and discolouration.£15000-20000 M

Greg Winters-illustrated advertising concept artwork from the promotion of Richard Donner's family adventure The Goonies. The artwork was hand-drawn by Winters, who created promotional art for The Goonies and drew from life on set, even posing the actors for specific set-ups. The finished artwork featured on promotional Goonies merchandise and depicts the scene in which the titular adventurers fell down a waterslide into the lagoon, landing in the sea near One Eyed Willy's pirate ship, the Inferno. The art is rendered in pencil on illustration board. There is a tracing paper cover sheet, which indicates the colours to be used on the finished piece. This item shows some signs of age on the delicate cover sheet, which is discoloured, and there is a little curling at the edges.

An original watercolour design of Mola Ram's (Amrish Puri) costume from the production of Steven Spielberg's action-adventure sequel Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. This item comes from the personal collection of legendary producer Robert Watts. Created by Academy Award-winning costume designer Anthony Powell, the piece features five alternative designs for the costume of Mola Ram, the Thuggee high priest and leader of the death cult of Kali. The design at the bottom left most closely resembles the costume ultimately created for the character: black and red draped fabric with one bare shoulder. All the costumes share a limited palette of red, black and cream colours ۠the same as the Thuggee guards. Powell devised this colour scheme to exemplify these characters' allegiance to Kali and their dedication to the cult. The artwork displays slight signs of age in the faint yellowing of the paper. Dimensions: 41 cm x 32 cm (16 1/4" x 12 3/4")£2000-3000 M
