KANDINSKY (WASSILY)Klänge, FIRST EDITION, NUMBER 64 OF 300 COPIES SIGNED BY THE ARTIST, on vergé de Hollande paper watermarked Van Gelder Zonen, 56 woodcuts (12 in colour), light offsetting to text, publisher's burgundy linen-backed red boards with large gilt-stamped design on covers, spine faded, 4to, Munich, R. Piper & Co., [1913]Footnotes:'LA PALETTE DE CÔTÉ ET À SA PLACE LA MACHINE À ÉCRIRE': ONE OF 300 SIGNED COPIES OF KANDINSKY'S MASTERPIECE OF ARTISTIC AND POETICAL EXPRESSIONISM. Klänge ('Sounds' or 'Resonances'), defined by Kandinsky as an 'album musical', comprises thiry-eight prose poems accompanied by fifty-six woodcuts in black and white and colours. It was one of the earliest artist's books to contain non-representational art, and Kandinsky's stated aim was to break down artistic barriers: 'Nous combattions pour la peinture, mais peindre seulement n'est pas suffisant. J'ai eu l'idée d'un livre synthétique qui balayera la moitié des conceptions anciennes, étroites, en brisant les murs qui séparent les arts'.Kandinsky himself saw the work as an important turning point in his artistic journey, the repetitions and alliterations foreshadowing dada and zaoum poetry: 'Dans les bois et dans le reste – les bois et les poèmes – on peut découvrir les traces de mon passage du 'figuratif' à l'abstrait'. He had begun work on the woodcuts in 1907, and later on he would explain that he had been writing the poems for a long time too: 'C'est depuis de longues années que j'écris de temps en temps des 'poèmes en prose' et parfois même des 'vers'. Ce qui est pour moi un 'changement d'instrument' — la palette de côté et à sa place la machine à écrire [...] [Ce livre] est un petit exemple de travail synthétique' (XXe siècle, n° 3, 1938).Kandinsky's genius is probably best summed up by Hans (or Jean) Arp: 'Kandinsky s'est livré dans ces poèmes aux recherches spirituelles les plus rares. De 'l'être à l'étant pur' il a fait surgir à la lumière des beautés que jamais personne n'avait encore contemplées. Les poèmes de Kandinsky révèlent la vacuité des apparences et de la raison'. Arp also remarked that the sonorous quality of the poetry in Klänge was very influential in modern literature and was recited by the Dadaists in the Cabaret Voltaire in Zürich.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

YOU MAY PUT ME DOWN AS AN ODD CHARACTER': Tolkien rebukes a young admirer.Richard Potts sent Professor Tolkien a questionnaire whilst working on his dissertation on children's literature, hoping that the bestselling author would shed some light on his craft. A copy of the questions that caused so much ire does not survive but Potts remembers 'I was taken back by his letter. It was not what I had expected. I had asked a number of questions, how and when he wrote, what was the source of his writing. I greatly admired his work but found the length daunting. I may have made reference to this reservation and it was perhaps this that prompted the angry tone of his letter'. Potts went on to be a successful children's author in his own right, with titles such as A Boy and his Bike, Haunted Mine and Tod's Owl. This letter is sold by his family to benefit the Birth Companions charity.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

He was then a very delicate looking youth and pathetically pale', 4 pages, recto only, [c.1918]Footnotes:PROOF SHEETS OF THE LAST BOOK TO BE PUBLISHED BEFORE WILDE'S FALL. In the summer of 1894, Constance Wilde was discussing with Arthur Humphreys, the manager of Hatchard's, the possibility of publishing a small book of Oscar's aphorisms which she would select. A separate publication of 'The Soul of Man under Socialism' was also arranged. A contract was signed on 14 August by Humphreys and Wilde, with Lord Alfred Douglas as witness (Ellmann, p.401). However, in November, Wilde wrote to Humphreys that 'The book is, as it stands, so bad, so disappointing, that I am writing a set of new aphorisms, and will have to alter much of the printed matter' (Letters, ed. Hart-Davis, p.378). He may have resented the increasingly close relationship between Humphreys and Constance—an intimacy that only came to light when her letters to him were sold at auction in 1985 by one of his descendants. The changing nature of Constance's involvement in Oscariana can be seen here in the removal of her name from the title page during the proofing process.According to Ellmann, Oscariana was 'privately printed in January 1895', and Mason provides the detail that fifty copies were printed at that time by John Strangeways and Sons (cf. Mason 628). It was the last book by Wilde to be published before his fall.Provenance: Arthur Lee Humphreys (1865-1946); 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.comPLEASE NOTE: There are 8 pages of "Fragments" in this lot as stated, comprising of 7 pages of page "7" in 3 settings, and one page of page "15" not 8 pages of page "7".

'The recipes offer an illuminating glimpse of French 'nouvelle cuisine', with its light, simple dishes, as it was practised in England in the 1730s and 1740s... Today Verral is remembered for his cookery book, one of the very few to give a true picture of French cookery in England in the middle of the eighteenth century. Verral's recipes are clear and well explained, with comments on the relative merits of French and English cookery, and on the success of particular dishes. Such a balanced discussion of the two cuisines is extremely rare among the mass of xenophobic comment which characterizes English cookery books of the period' (ODNB).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

Bitting pp.78-79; Maclean pp.23-24; Oxford p.122-123, all describing other editions], 12mo, F. Newbery, [c.1775-1780]Footnotes:UNRECORDED EARLY EDITION OF THIS POPULAR AND INFLUENTIAL COOKBOOK, THE AUTHOR'S ONLY PUBLICATION. Little is known of Susannah Carter, other than the fact that she hailed from Clerkenwell as mentioned on the title-page. The work was first published in 1765 by Francis Newbery in London, and some two or three years later by James Hoey in Dublin (Maclean located 3 copies of the 1765 edition in America, but none are now listed on ESTC or in auction records). In 1772 the book was reprinted in London and Boston, the American edition being only the second cookbook printed in America, following Eliza Smith's Compleat Housewife (Williamsburg, 1742). Carter went on to become extremely well-known across the Atlantic as subsequent editions were expanded and adapted to include American recipes.The date of the present copy is uncertain. The fact that the imprint is that of 'F. Newbery' indicates that it was printed before Francis Newbery's death in 1780, whereupon his widow Elizabeth carried on the business under the imprint 'E. Newbery'. However, the editions prior to and including a Dublin edition of around 1775 comprise 168 or 180 pages, whereas ours, and later editions, were expanded to 192 pages. All of this would tend to suggest that our copy is dated between 1775 and 1780. As no collation has been found, it is not clear if there should be only one plate in this copy but other editions generally have two.Provenance: 'Catherine Jones, her book 1785', inscription on front paste-down; manuscript recipes in a nineteenth century hand below inscription and on rear free endpaper; Cardiff Public Libraries, old ink stamps on paste-downs and on verso of title (with shelf number in ink).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

The very elaborate perspective figures were designed by the master goldsmith Hans or Johannes Lencker (1523-1585), and engraved by his colleague Matthias Zündt. Lencker was the eldest of a dynasty of goldsmiths and engravers from Nuremberg. He worked in many fields, including the design of tableware, glass cutting and the art of bookbinding, helping to inspire a whole generation of 'perspective' artists, including the renowned Jamnitzer.The Perspectiva literaria is extremely scarce, only two or three copies recorded as having sold at auction in the post-war period. USTC and World Cat locate a total of 8 copies, all in European institutions, mostly in Germany. The present copy, uniquely hand-coloured, contains 21 plates (of 22, a geometric figure plate is missing), comprising a frontispiece using the letters of the word 'perspectiva', 12 plates of intricate letters of the alphabet in various perspective arrangements, and 8 plates of geometric figures. Some of the latter are very complex, such as a spiral-shaped faceted shell, a cone made of triangular faces, a knot of twisted cylinders, and a hollow cube surrounded by a polyhedron.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
