Andalusian school, possibly from Seville, ca. 1700."Infant Jesus".Carved and polychrome wood. Eyes in vitreous paste. Hair. Silver base and cross.Measurements: 28 cm (height); 35 cm (total height).Polychrome wood carving representing the Child Jesus full-length and naked, which indicates that he was originally dressed in royal robes. It is a magnificently anatomically worked carving, of extraordinary naturalism, following the baroque canons of the Spanish school. The Child stands on a chiselled silver base, with its upper part reticulated and the corners ornamented with plant motifs. The cross and the child's shoes are made of the same material.Spanish Baroque sculpture is one of the most authentic and personal examples of our art, because its conception and form of expression arose from the people and their deepest feelings. With the economy of the State in ruins, the nobility in decline and the high clergy burdened with heavy taxes, it was the monasteries, parishes and confraternities of clerics and laymen who promoted its development, the works sometimes being financed by popular subscription. Sculpture was thus obliged to express the prevailing ideals in these environments, which were none other than religious ones, at a time when Counter-Reformation doctrine demanded a realistic language from art so that the faithful could understand and identify with what was represented, and an expression endowed with an intense emotional content in order to increase the fervour and devotion of the people. Religious themes were therefore the preferred subject matter of Spanish sculpture of this period, which in the early decades of the century was based on a priority interest in capturing the natural world, gradually intensifying over the course of the century in the depiction of expressive values, which it achieved through movement and the variety of gestures, the use of light resources and the representation of moods and feelings.

ARISTOTLE'S MASTERPIECEAristotle's Compleat Master Piece. In Three Parts: Displaying the Secrets of Nature in the Generation of Man... To Which is Added, a Treasure of Health; or, The Family Physician... The Twenty-fifth Edition, frontispiece with full-page woodcut illustration recto and verso, 7 woodcut illustrations in the text, catchword cropped on 2 pages (p.123, and p.131), without the folding plate (not called for on ESTC), letterpress advertisement of 'William Grigg, Bookseller and Book-binder' of Exeter pasted inside upper cover, small light stain on pp.81/2, corners turned, contemporary sheep, worn with some losses to spine [OCLC 15877677], 8vo, Printed and Sold by the Booksellers, 1753Footnotes:A SCARCE EDITION. First published in 1684 all early editions are rare, presumably due to the book's risqué subject matter of women's bodies, sex, and pregnancy, which led it to be sold by 'country peddlers and in general stores and taverns; regular booksellers seldom advertised it, though they usually had it under the counter' (The Library Company of Philadelphia, 'Treasures', online catalogue). The attribution to Aristotle is totally spurious and was probably a vain attempt to give the work some measure of respectability; but although it was effectively banned until the mid-twentieth century, the prohibition didn't keep it from circulating. Such enduring popularity was partly due to the practical advice on pregnancy and the care of infants, and partly to its rather sensationalised descriptions of the sexual act and forms of monstrosity. ESTC lists an incomplete copy (Texas) of a twenty-fifth edition with a mutilated title-page as dating from 1753, but also 2 copies (Wellcome, and William Andrews Clark Memorial Library) of the twenty-fifth edition dated 1758, calling for a plate.This copy has an eighteenth century letterpress advertisement for 'William Grigg, Bookseller and Book-binder... over against Broad-Gate, Exeter... Printed by Andrew Brice, in Northgate Street, Exon' pasted inside the upper cover. This advertisement is not listed on ESTC, which does cite two similar advertisements (T167895 and N504282, each one copy only). Noting that Brice died in 1773, and Grigg was first known of in 1765 the date of publication is suggested to be c.1770. As well as selling books Griggs also is said to sell 'Dr. Hooper's Female Pills; Dr. Greenoughh's Tinctures for the Teeth' and other such remedies 'all warranted genuine', perhaps suggestive of the audience at which Aristotle's Master Piece was targeted.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

Todd, in The Book Collector, Winter 1961, pp.449-454], 12mo (164 x 100mm.), Chapman & Hall, 1843Footnotes:FIRST EDITION OF DICKENS'S FIRST AND MOST ENDURING CHRISTMAS BOOK. A Christmas Carol was published on 19 December 1843, priced at 5s. Dickens initially requested green endpapers but discarded them due to the colour rubbing off. Demand for the book probably grew at such a pace that the stock of yellow endpapers was soon exhausted, necessitating the use of the discarded green endpapers. So although the green endpapers were produced first, the first copies issued had yellow endpapers. William B. Todd concluded that priority was impossible to determine due to the use of different stocks of text and plates, but that priority could be determined by the state of the binding. This copy appears to be his first impression, first issue, first state, with a gap of 14-15mm. between the closest points of the blind-stamping and gold wreath on the upper cover, and the 'D' of 'Dickens' unbroken, but it is hard to be sure due to the condition.Provenance: W.

The later comments on the manuscript may well be his. Thomas Staines (1776-1830) was not the first to discover the mutineers, that credit went to Captain Mayhew Folger of Nantucket on the Boston sealer Topaz who had landed in Pitcairn in October 1808, eighteen years after the mutiny. A Narrative of the Briton's Voyage to Pitcairn Island by its first Lieutenant, John Shillibeer, was published in 1817.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
GOETHE (JOHANN WOLFGANG VON)Autograph sentiment signed ('J.W.v. Goethe'), the second stanza of the poem 'Ilmenau', comprising six lines written in Sütterlinschrift beginning 'Wie kehrt ich oft mit wechselndem Geschicke...' ['How often I return with changing fortunes...'], one page, light dust-staining, remains of red wax seal, one small pin hole not affecting text, remains of marbled paper on reverse where previously mounted, mounted and framed, unexamined out of frame, oblong 8vo (150 x 210mm., with frame 405 x 405mm.), [3 September 1783]Footnotes:'WIE KEHRT ICH OFT MIT WECHSELNDEM GESCHICKE, ERHABNER BERG!'Ilmenau was a private poem written for the twenty-sixth birthday of Karl August, Duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach (1757-1828) on 3 September 1783. In it the Duke escapes courtly society and his wild past into a dream world of the beautiful valley of the Ilm, the poet hoping that he will soon develop his true nature, thus referencing his own 'Sturm und Drang' period. As Goethe explained to Eckermann in his Conversations of Goethe: '...'The poem of 'Ilmenau'... contains, as an episode, an epoch which, in the year 1783, when I wrote it, had happened many years before, so that I could describe myself in it as an historical personage, and could hold a conversation with the self of former years... the Duke soon worked himself out of this 'storm and stress' period into a state of useful clearness, so that on his birthday, in the year 1783, I could well remind him of this image of his earlier days... I will not deny that in the beginning he caused me much trouble and anxiety. Yet his noble nature soon cleared itself, and formed itself to the highest degree of perfection, so that it was a pleasure to live and act with him'...' (23 October 1828). According to Ronald Gray, after a lively and promising start with some reminders of the youthful Goethe, the poem transitions rather unsuccessfully in style and content '...where the peasants and miners who were leading miserable lives at the beginning of the poem are suddenly said to be fully employed and contented. In the end, Goethe seems more concerned to make a tactful suggestion to the Duke about the running of his estates than to pursue his deeper problems any further... Despite several pleasing and amusing passages, Ilmenau marks the beginning of a period when Goethe would only rarely write poetry of distinction...' (Gray, R., Poems of Goethe: A Selection, 1966, p.66).Goethe had been invited to the court at Weimar in 1775 after the success of his first novel The Sorrows of Young Werther and was to remain there for the rest of his life. He held a succession of offices including Commissioner for Mines and Highways which required him to regularly visit the small mining town of Ilmenau, from where he was able to escape into the mountains, away from the pressures of his duties. The surrounding landscape inspired one of his most famous poems, Wanderers Nachtlied which he wrote hurriedly on the walls of a wooden hut on the Kickelhahn mountain, a work which epitomises his love of the natural world and the local landscape.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
TARLETON (SIR BANASTRE) – COMMONPLACE BOOKAutograph poem signed 'Banastre Tarleton' and dated 'January 1825' entitled 'Susan's Abode', comprising eight lines on his house in Lintwardine beginning 'The young, the old, the poor combine, To welcome thee to Lintwardine...' and illustrated by a pen and ink sketch of the house, written in a commonplace book dedicated to 'To/ The Lady Willoughby/ from/ Banastre & Susan Tarleton', with ownership inscription 'Priscilla Tarleton', containing poems and other writings in several hands including that of Susan Tarleton and Banastre Tarleton, a number of verses and illustrations initialled 'B.T.' including a tribute to the late Robert, 4th Duke of Ancaster and Kesteven ('...An eye witness of his conduct in America submits this inadequate testimonial to the noble family of Grimsthorpe Castle...'), also including tributes to Lady Willoughby and the Marchioness of Cholmondeley, 'An acrostic written in a storm on the 8th of February 1816... to the Baroness Willoughby de Eresby, on her birthday...', 'Lines supposed to be written at Waterloo', 'To Lady Tarleton', 'On Women', interspersed with historical notes on the great deeds of the Willoughby family and copies of verses by Byron, Burns, Lady Caroline Lamb, Moore, Scott, Mary Tighe and others; illustrated throughout with some 50 pen, ink and watercolour illustrations and delicate vignettes by the Tarletons to complement the verses, including a decorative floral and foliate frontispiece dedicated to Lady Willoughby depicting her portrait surrounded by putti holding the accoutrements of the Arts, c.130 leaves (c.40 blank), watermark W Turner & Son, a few minor tears and offsetting, contemporary russia blindstamped and gilt with etched brass clasp, silk endpapers, g.e., rebacked preserving original spine, 4to (225 x 180mm.), c.1820'sFootnotes:'THE YOUNG, THE OLD, THE POOR COMBINE, TO WELCOME THEE TO LINTWARDINE': A fine commonplace book of verses and drawings, a joint collaboration between Sir Banastre Tarleton (1754-1833), notorious army officer and politician, made infamous through his exploits in the American Revolutionary Wars as leader of the 'Tarleton Raiders', and his wife Priscilla Susan Bertie Tarleton (1778-1864), fondly dedicated to Priscilla Tarleton's aunt Lady Willoughby,Banastre Tarleton married Priscilla Bertie, the wealthy illegitimate daughter of his friend Robert Bertie, 4th Duke of Ancaster and Kesteven and 20th Baron Willoughby de Eresby (1756-1779), after a whirlwind romance in 1798. After having gambled away his inheritance, Tarleton had purchased a commission in the 1st Dragoon Guards and served with Bertie during the occupation of Philadelphia in the American Wars of Independence, where his ruthless reputation earned him the sobriquet 'Bloody Ban'. When Bertie died young at the age of 22, the young Susan was taken in by her paternal grandmother, Mary Bertie the dowager Duchess of Ancaster and Kesteven at Grimsthorpe Castle. A sketch of the castle accompanied by a verse titled 'An Epilogue' comprises the first item in the book. The couple met in 1798 at Houghton Hall in Norfolk then, as now, the seat of Lord Cholmondeley, Susan's uncle by marriage, and were married three months later. Well-educated, pretty, accomplished in drawing, music and languages, reckless in many ways but disapproving of drinking and gambling, she was a vivacious and popular member of London society. Her marriage to the virtually penniless soldier older than her own father and with a notorious reputation raised many eyebrows at the time but their thirty-five year marriage stood the test. She accompanied him to Portugal, Ireland and throughout postings in England until his retirement and they ended their married life at Leintwardine in Herefordshire, which features several times in our book as an earthly paradise ('...A ray of heav'nly light is thine, Seen in thy works at Lintwardine...'). Their fondness for each other is also evident in several of the verses –- in 'To Lady Tarleton' he writes 'By ambition tormented, by fortune sore crossed/ Without little Sue, I had paradise lost/ Although deep sunk in debt, yet my fame was unstained/ And winning Sweet Susan, I paradise gained/ B.T.', but a flash of the old rake is still evident in his verse 'On Women' - 'You are stars of the night, you are gems of the morn... Her smile is our need, or her bosom our pillow' he writes.As the ownership inscription shows, Susan Tarleton often varied the use of her names. Whilst official documents, including the parish records of her birth and marriage, give it as Susan Priscilla, she also used Susan or Priscilla, as in this volume. Her drawings are highly accomplished and she is also known to have contributed illustrations to be engraved for an anthology of Romantic poetry The Wild Wreath (1804) by Mary Elizabeth Robinson, the daughter of her husband's ex-mistress Mary (Perdita) Robinson. Despite losing two fingers from a musket ball received in his right hand during the Battle of Guildford Courthouse in North Carolina, Banastre Tarleton also appears to have lent his artistic talents to our volume, with many illustrations initialled 'B.T.'. Our volume would appear to be presented to Susan's aunt, Priscilla Barbara Elizabeth Bertie (1761-1828) who became 21st Baroness Willoughby de Eresby in 1780 after her brother Robert's death. It contains many historical tributes to the Willoughby and Bertie families and references the family name in a finely-drawn frontispiece. Susan's other aunt Georgiana Charlotte Bertie (1764-1838) married George Cholmondeley, 1st Marquess of Cholmondeley at whose country seat she met her future husband. It was through this marriage that the Cholmondeleys acquired the hereditary office of Lord Great Chamberlain which had been previously been held by Robert Bertie.Provenance: Private UK Collection.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
TIGHE (MARY)Psyche, or The Legend of Love, FIRST EDITION, AUTHOR'S PRESENTATION COPY TO THE PAINTER JAMES BARRY, inscribed on title-page 'To James Barry Esq., from M Tighe 1805', wide margins, title slightly stained at foot, contemporary green straight-grained morocco, sides gilt ruled and panelled, with floral corner-pieces and outer border, agate on-lays to each cover, spine in five separate compartments with raised bands, tooled and lettered in gilt and blind, gilt clasp set with gems, very light rubbing to foot of spine, gilt turn-ins, yellow watered silk endpapers, g.e., housed in a contemporary velvet-lined, gilt-tooled diced russia box, with gilt lettering on spine, rubbed, to joints split [P.R. Feldman and B.C. Cooney, Collected Poetry of Mary Tighe, p. 590, citing this copy], 16mo (250 x 94mm.), [C. Whittingham for James Carpenter], 1805Footnotes:A SEMINAL WORK OF IRISH ROMANTICISM INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR IN AN EXQUISITE OPULENT CONTEMPORARY BINDING. According to Paula Feldman, joint editor of The Collected Poetry of Mary Tighe, the binding is far more ornate than any of the other copies she has examined, and is especially unusual for the addition of the Wedgwood style cameo, ornate metal lock, semi-precious stones, and agate onset, which she believes may have been added by a subsequent owner to the original binding and endpapers especially commissioned by the author.Irish poet Mary Tighe (1772-1810) '...was a crucial force in shaping British Romanticism. With remarkable vitality and virtuosity, her poetry engaged the central issues of the period, often in advance of writers now considered canonical, and commanded the attention and respect of her contemporaries.... These poems demonstrate the technical virtuosity with which Tighe movingly wrote about the tensions between love and loss, duty and desire, the spiritual and the sensuous, loyalty and betrayal, nation and family, the Irish and the British, and much more, while struggling with debilitating illness...' (Paula R. Feldman & Brian C. Cooney, The Collected Poetry of Mary Tighe, 2016, p.1).Tighe published only one work in her lifetime, Psyche; or, the Legend of Love, which was put out in a private edition of fifty copies for the benefit of family and friends in 1805. However, whilst having many admirers amongst her literary circle (including Thomas Moore, Joseph Cooper Walker and the Ladies of Llangollen) it was the posthumous publication of Psyche, with Other Poems, in 1811 and in several later editions, that made her name widely known and established her literary reputation.The decorative on-lay on the upper cover is a copy of a Wedgwood design by John Flaxman of 1776 depicting a procession of putti guiding the bound and draped Cupid and Psyche to their wedding. Here, however, one figure on the far right hand-side has been omitted. The decorative on-lay on the lower board is a cameo of a female figure in profile, possibly the author herself. Although the binding is unsigned, according to Philippa Marks of the British Library, it can be attributed to the workshop of Rodwell, Golden Square, London. In fact, the British Library holds a copy of a work by Juan de Flores (G102030) with a binding signed by Rodwell which is characterised by identical floral corner pieces to those on this book (Law, E., 'Psyche: or the Legend of Love, 1805', Old Kilkenny Review, 65 (2013), p.45).For a manuscript notebook of her poems, see our Women Through History sale on 23rd March 2022, lot 153.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

KENNEDY (JOHN F.)Colour portrait photograph depicting John F. Kennedy sitting behind the Resolute desk in the Oval Office, by Robert LeRoy Knudsen, signed and inscribed in black ink on the mount to his brother-in-law Peter Lawford ('For Peter – who helped make this picture possible – with all of the best – Jack – '), light toning, slight discolouration to mount, image c.440 x 370mm., framed and glazed, overall 660 x 580mm., unexamined out of frame, Washington, [2 November 1961]Footnotes:'FOR PETER – WHO HELPED MAKE THIS PICTURE POSSIBLE': PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY'S GRATEFUL DEDICATION TO HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW PETER LAWFORD.Glamorous British actor Peter Lawford (1923-1984) married Kennedy's younger sister Patricia in 1954 and became a US citizen in 1960 in time to vote and campaign for his brother-in-law and the Democrats in the presidential election of the same year. Friends with the Rat Pack 'board members' Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis, Jr., he garnered their support for Kennedy and was instrumental in coaching Kennedy for his crucial debate against Richard Nixon. Lawford (affectionately known as 'brother-in-Lawford') therefore held a unique position at the intersection of politics and showbusiness, to the mutual benefit of both. It was through Lawford, via Sinatra, that Kennedy met Marilyn Monroe and he has been dubbed 'the man who kept the secrets' for his discretion and connections. Robert LeRoy Knudsen (1929-1989) served as the White House photographer during the administrations of five Presidents from Truman to Nixon. Among his most famous photographs were the series of John Kennedy, Jr. as a toddler in the Oval Office of May 1962, and he was also to take Kennedy's autopsy photographs a year later. A smaller copy of this photograph is held in the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, accession no. KN.C19364, which confirms the date of the sitting and photographer.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

In an accompanying autograph letter letter addressed to the buyer of the present lot ('Dear owner'), Dame Hilary Mantel writes, 'This desk was made for me in Holt, in Norfolk,' before she moved to Woking. 'Soon after, its real work began - 15 years on the Wolf Hall trilogy, beginning in Surrey, continued in Devon, & concluded here, in the room from which I write to you.'Mantel wrote all her novels since the 1994 A Change of Climate on this desk, including Wolf Hall, Bring Up the Bodies and The Mirror and the Light. Elsewhere, she has remarked that the desk 'has served me well and has a great record of turning out prize winners' - Wolf Hall won both the Man Booker Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award. In the present letter, she concludes that she is relocating to Ireland, so 'It's time for the desk to move on - battered tho' it is, it still has life in it... The proceeds of the sale will buy books for children who need them.'The desk is being sold to support the work of the prestigious Budleigh Salterton Literary Festival in local schools. The Festival takes authors free of charge into schools to engage children in reading for pleasure, and this year is also providing as many children as it can in the region with a free book.Provenance: Hilary Mantel.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Whilst Napoleon was defeated by Nelson at sea at Aboukir in August 1798, the Battle of the Pyramids in July had been a resounding victory for the French and consolidated their position on land, thus allowing Napoleon to establish his own colonial administration in the country. As part of his campaign, he brought with him a group of scientists, mathematicians, naturalists and artists – the Commission des Sciences et des Arts d'Egypte – to provide comprehensive information on the country they had conquered, culminating in his monumental encyclopaedia Description de l'Egypte and creating a renewed interest in ancient Egyptian culture.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
