Lecons sur les Moteurs d'Automobiles, 1902-1903, by M. L. Marchis. A substantial treatise in French on the subject, appearing to be the author's handwritten thesis, issued by the University of Bordeaux's Science Faculty. A small quarto hardbound volume with marbled board covers and marbled end-papers, and with a leather spine with gilt lettering and raised bands, the cover being somewhat rubbed and worn, especially at the edges and around the spine. The title page and dedication page are both printed, indicating that the volume was presented by the Librairie Joseph Gibert, Paris, while the text amounts to 539 apparently closely handwritten pages, plus 16 pages of Annexes and a further 9 pages of Notes/Index, similarly handwritten. There are also numerous elaborate and carefully drawn text figures, tables, chemical formulae, etcetera. The full title of the volume translates as: Lessons on Automotive Engines and the Industrial Application of Alcohol in Heating, Lighting and Motive Power. Apart from browning of the pages through age, the contents of the volume remain clean, sound, complete and probably unique (1)
*A very rare c1897 Union Lamp Co., 'Williams Globe' kerosene-powered bicycle lamp. Manufactured under the patents of E. L. Williams, the 'Globe' series of lamps were designed for boulevard riding at night with sixteen coloured multi-faceted red, green, blue and opaque, glasses, giving, when lit, a sparkling and colourful effect. Much admired by lady riders who took their exercise riding in public parks of an evening and wanted to be noticed! Several different versions were manufactured, (see Early Cycle Lighting pages 70 & 71) and this lamp is an example of the rarest found today, retaining its original bail, suspension arm and mounting bracket, the object of the lamp design being for it to appear to float and bounce in front of the bicycle. Indeed, this is only example that the writer knows, that has retained its original bracket. In very sound condition, the lamp has not been molested and retains much of its original nickel-plating, undamaged glasses, opening side window for lighting, winding burner and the aforementioned suspension bracket (1)

§ Angus McBean (British, 1994-1990) Black-and-white fashion photographs for Vogue magazine, 1980s photographs (11) 26 x 20cm (10 x 8in) Angus McBean was born in Monmouthshire, South Wales, in 1904. After moving to West Acton, London, in 1925 and working at Liberty’s department store, he began his career as a theatre mask-maker and scenery designer. Upon leaving Liberty’s he decided to grow an impressive beard, symbolic of the fact he was no longer, and would never again be, a ‘wage-slave’. His photographic career started with pictures of theatrical performances, later moving onto portraits of dance and theatre personalities. He developed his distinct tenebristic style of hard lenses, harsh lighting and imposing shadows. After learning the technical aspects of photography during his apprenticeship under Hugh Cecil, he set up his own studio on Belgrave Road in c.1934. In 1936, he attended the Surrealist Exhibition at the New Burlington Galleries which was perhaps the biggest influence on his career, twinning the skill of a master photographer with the surrealist characteristics of fantasy, drama and humour. This style revolutionised portraiture in the 1930s and as a result, McBean is one of the biggest influences on theatrical, portrait, creative and commercial photography in the last century. During the Second World War, McBean moved away from London to Bath as he could no longer justify photographing ‘pretty girls’ with the destruction happening around him during the Blitz. After the war, he returned to London where he would successfully resume his career, becoming the official photographer at Stratford, The Royal Opera House, Sadlers Wells and the Old Vic. McBean’s work focussed on the beauty and glamour of celebrities and west-end stars rather than showing a ‘deeper meaning’ behind the façade. His iconic portrait of Audrey Hepburn is perhaps his most recognisable work worldwide - but the list of names he has worked with is extremely extensive, including the likes of Elizabeth Taylor, Vivien Leigh, Tilda Swinton, Agatha Christie, Vivienne Westwood, Jean Paul Gaultier and many more. In 1966 he retired from full-time work, but he continued with his self-portrait Christmas cards that ran from 1936 until 1989. All unframed and fine - unsigned.
