Music and dance, 1817-1843i. John Sale (1758-1827), secretary of the Catch Club; letter to Terrail, unanimously elected a member of the club; 30 Arundel Street, to 28 January 1817The Noblemen and Gentlemen’s Catch Club was established in 1761, and met at the Thatched House Tavern in St James’s Street. John Sale served as secretary between 1812 and 1827. A history of the Club, still in existence, by Viscount Gladstone, Guy Boas and Harald Christopherson, was published in 1996. For John Sale, singer and conductor, see ODNB. For a reminiscence of Terrail, a counter-tenor, see The Musical Times and Singing Class Circular4 (1852) 208.ii. Catherine [Kitty] Stephens (1794-1882), singer and actress; letter to Mr Moore, requesting one of his men to bring ‘one pair of the very thin silk stockings’; Friday, c1820With a cut-down engraving [by Cooke, from a painting in the possession of Thomas Walsh], of Miss Stephens [in the role of Diana Vernon in Rob Roy MacGregor; published by Simpkin and Marshall, stationers, 1820]Daughter of a London carver and gilder, her opera career lasted from 1812 until 1838, when she married the octogenarian Earl of Essex. Following his death the following year she continued to live at 9 Belgrave Square until her own death in 1882. A testament to her reputation was her reception at court by Queen Victoria, who recorded in her journal that Lord Essex had been ‘excessively pleased’ by her ‘having called up Lady Essex … at the Ball and having spoken to her’.The addressee is perhaps Joseph Moore (1766-1851), entrepreneur and promoter of musical and choral festivals at Birmingham, Malvern and York (ODNB).iii. Cipriani Hambley Potter (1792–1871), composer and pianist, 30 York Buildings; letter to W[illiam] Watts, esquire, 45 Cirencester Place, Fitzroy Square; has Watts succeeded with the directors respecting the two additional rehearsal tickets? 20 May 1828Potter was one of the leading composers and pianists of the 1820s and 1830s. At the end of 1817 he left England to study composition abroad. His first destination was Vienna, where he met Beethoven, who commented favourably on him in a letter of 5 March 1818. He taught at the Royal Academy of Music, the establishment of which was proposed at a meeting at the Thatched House Tavern in 1822; he became principal of the College in 1832.William Watts, a violinist, was secretary of the Philharmonic Society between 1815 and 1847.iv. Maria (signs Marietta) Malibran (1808-1836), mezzo-soprano; letter. La tua buona amica, to Monsieur le Chevalier Ferdinando Paër; undated, 1830sRequests something for La sorella di Minette, who deserves reward being charged with a familyMalibran was born in Paris as María Felicitas García Sitches into a famous Spanish musical family. Her mother was Joaquina Sitches, an actress and operatic singer. Her father Manuel García was a celebrated tenor much admired by Rossini, having created the role of Count Almaviva in his The Barber of Seville. At the age of eight she appeared on stage at Naples with her father in Ferdinando Paër’s Agnese. She made her début at the Paris Opéra in 1828. Triumphs followed in London (Covent Garden début 1833), Naples, Rome, Bologna, Venice, Lucca, and Milan (La Scala début 1834). In 1836 married the Belgian violinist Charles de Bériot with whom she had lived since 1830. Malibran moved to England in 1834 and began to perform in London and the continent. In April 1836 she fell from horse in London, while pregnant, her injuries leading to her death in September, when she collapsed after singing a duet at a Manchester festival.Ferdinando Paer (1771-1839) was an Italian composer known for his operas. In 1812, he became conductor of the Opéra-Italien in Paris. He retained this post after theRestoration while accepting those of chamber composer to the king and conductor of the private orchestra of the Duke of Orléans. In 1823, he retired from the Opéra-Italien and was succeeded by Rossini.v. Marie Taglioni (1804-1884), ballet dancer; letter to Monsieur Dupouchet; requests a box and some tickets for this evening; Monday, c1840With a lithograph of a portrait of Taglioni by François Séraphin Delpech (1778-1825); [Paris, 1832]Born in Sweden, Taglioni was one of the most celebrated dancers of the romantic ballet, which was cultivated primarily at Her Majesty’s Theatre in London and at the Théâtre de l’Académie Royale de Musique of the Paris Opera Ballet. She is credited with (though not confirmed as) being the first ballerina to truly dance en pointe. It was in Russia after her last performance in the country (1842) and at the height of the ‘cult of the ballerina’, that a pair of her pointe shoes were sold for two hundred roubles, reportedly to be cooked, served with a sauce and eaten by a group of balletomanes.vi. Joseph Alfred Novello (1810-1896), music publisher; letter to Joshua French, Gentleman of Her Majesty’s Chapels Royal, Windsor; 69 Dean Street Place, 3 May 1843Thanks to his note they put off their visit to Windsor, as well on account of the rain; encloses a letter of Rossini [not present] ‘whose letters are scarce as he generally write [sic] by his secretary’; many thanks for the facsimilesThe letter was written as Novello embarked on a project to publish cheap music for the mass singing-class movement, enthusiastically supported by those concerned with working-class morality in an age of political and industrial radicalism. In 1842 he published Joseph Mainzer's sight-singing manual Singing for the Million and the weekly Mainzer's Musical Times and Singing-Class Circular.

1959 Raleigh 49cc RM1 MopedRegistration no. USK 279Frame no. MA07886Engine no. 10-59-2 6600Britain's best-known and longest-surviving bicycle maker, Raleigh also manufactured motorcycles from 1899 to 1905, and from 1919 to 1933. More recently, the Nottingham company offered a range of mopeds plus a scooter in the late 1950s/1960s, the majority of the moped range being built-under-license Mobylettes. Before the arrival of the Mobylette range however, Raleigh produced the RM1 moped using an own-brand Sturmey-Archer two-stroke engine. Built ONLY between May and December 1959, the grey-finished RM1 featured a lady's-style bicycle frame, fixed drive (no clutch) and drum brakes.This Raleigh was purchased by the late vendor in 1995 and was laid up in his workshop as a long term project to restore. Offered for restoration, it is offered with a V5 and service manual.Key not requiredFootnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Property of a deceased's estate1954 Triumph 649cc ThunderbirdRegistration no. OLN 805Frame no. 48992 (see text)Engine no. 6T 48992Always a step ahead of their rivals, Triumph followed up the trend-setting Speed Twin 500 of pre-war days by being first in the field with a 650cc parallel twin. Announced in September 1949, the 650 Thunderbird was Triumph's response to demands for more power emanating from American racers and British sidecarists alike. When displayed at the Earls Court Show in October, the new 650cc twin featured the headlamp nacelle and fuel tank with luggage grid first seen on Triumphs the previous year. An interesting change to the Thunderbird for 1952 was the adoption of an SU carburettor in place of the original Amal, a specially prepared machine managing a staggering 155mpg at a steady 30mph on a factory organised economy run. The model remained in production in fundamentally its original form, though with progressively updated cycle parts, until the arrival of the unitary construction 650 range in 1962. One of the most significant developments along the way was the introduction of a swinging arm frame for 1955, but prior to that time Triumph twins could be ordered with the optional 'sprung hub' - designed by the Speed Twin's creator Edward Turner - that offered a limited amount of rear suspension movement.This Thunderbird was purchased by the late vendor in 2014 (purchase receipt on file) where it was used occasionally for summer runs and dry stored. It should be noted that the frame number has been restamped therefore prospective bidders must satisfy themselves to the originality of this machine. Accompanying paperwork consists of the aforementioned purchase receipt, current V5C and BMS maintenance and instruction manual.Key not requiredFootnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Property of a deceased's estate1960 Francis Barnett 197cc PloverRegistration no. CAS 916Frame no. B-10756REngine no. 15T 1776Founded by Gordon Francis and Arthur Barnett in 1919, Francis-Barnett became part of Associated Motor Cycles in 1947 and was joined there in 1951 by James. The two marques' model ranges became ever more similar until the transfer of Francis-Barnett production to the James factory in 1962 ushered in an era of unashamed 'badge engineering'. Francis-Barnett concentrated on the production of lightweight two-strokes powered by Villiers engines at first, though from 1957 AMC's own engine was fitted to many models. Purchased in 2012 by the late vendor, little is known of this Plover's history but is sold for restoration and sold as seen.

1969 Laverda 750 GT 'American Eagle'Registration no. PFJ 320GFrame no. LAV750 1648Engine no. 750 1648•One of only some 150 made•First registered in the UK in 2021•Most collectible and sought after modelsShortly after the Laverda 750GT went on sale in Europe, McCormack International Motors Incorporated, a vehicle importing business, concluded a deal with the Italian factory to market the model in the USA under the 'American Eagle' brand name. Unfortunately for Jack McCormack, Laverda's 750 twins were soon upstaged by the four-cylinder Honda CB750, which was not only better specified but cheaper too, and only some 150 had been imported when McCormack went bust. With relatively few made and even fewer still in existence, the American Eagle is now one of Laverda's most collectible and sought after models. American Eagle is also famous as having kick-started Evel Knievel's career. The brand sponsored the American stunt rider, who wore a distinctive jumpsuit and cape with the American Eagle logo across the front of his leathers and on his helmet. He used a modified American Eagle 750 to complete several record-breaking jumps, suffering some spectacular crashes. Eventually Harley-Davidson realised the marketing potential and provided Knievel with a Harley-Davidson XR750 for his jumps. This very early US-market American Eagle 750 GT was first registered in the UK on 1st September 2021 and has had one former keeper in this country. Its history in the USA is unknown. There is a video of the machine running, available to view on the Bonhams website. The machine is offered with sundry invoices; photocopied technical literature; suspension instructions; owner's manual/parts list; repair guide; copy online advertisement; and a current V5C document. A 4' round brake light lamp lens is included in the sale.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The Anthony R. East Classic Motorcycle Collection1962 BSA 649cc A10Registration no. 105 FATFrame no. GA7 21287Engine no. DA10 9293A letter on file from a former owner, Charles Rigby of RAF Catterick, dated 26th of February 1984 and addressed to a Mr Williams of Kings Lynn, Norfolk, states that Rigby bought it from a Michael Share of Ushaw Moor in the spring of 1977. Rigby purchased the BSA as a solo in poor condition and rebuilt it, attaching a Busmar sidecar (see photographs on file). He also fitted a reconditioned bottom-end (as currently installed) and beautified 'everything'. It would appear that Mr Rigby sold the BSA to Mr Fred Church of RAF Cranwell. In late 1983/early 1984 a Mr Williams bought the machine from an owner on the outskirts of Sleaford, Lincolnshire. He restored it during 1984 and kept it for four years. Purchased Tony East in 1990, the BSA has since been restored throughout and comes with restorer Bryan Small's invoice for £3,900. The odometer reading of 558 miles is believed to be the distance covered since restoration. Additional documentation includes a quantity of invoices relating to Mr Williams' restoration of 1984; an invoice for a rebuilt magneto in 1997; Motor Cycle data book; instruction manual; service sheets; a quantity of old MoTs; and old/current V5/V5C documents.

The Anthony R. East Classic Motorcycle Collection1956 BSA 646cc Golden FlashRegistration no. FMN-560-L (Isle of Man)Frame no. BA7S 19685 (see text)Engine no. BA10 15490Previously registered as 'RSY 233' on the UK mainland (see MoTs on file), this BSA Golden Flash was first registered in the Isle of Man in September 2001. The machine was purchased in the Isle of Man in 2008 and came with a single-seater Watsonian sports sidecar attached. Both were in poor condition. The sidecar was removed and sold, and the BSA fully restored to 'as new' condition, with particular attention paid to obtaining the correct paint colour – something less fastidious restorers often get wrong. In 2014 Tony's BSA Golden Flash featured in The Classic MotorCycle's November edition, described as a local bike once belonging to the late Tony Cook, who used it as a combination. To quote Tony East: 'It is a sweet, strong engine, I haven't done much to it'.

The Anthony R. East Classic Motorcycle Collection1950 BSA 348cc B31Registration no. B31 MAN (Isle of Man, see text)Frame no. ZB31 11543Engine no. ZB31 25912BSA's rugged, workaday B31 was manufactured from 1945 to the end of 1959, its overhead-valve engine providing the basis for the renowned Gold Star sports roadster. At the time of its introduction, the B31 was BSA's sole all-new model, joining the lightweight 'C' and heavyweight 'M' ranges carried over from pre-war days. Produced initially with rigid frame and telescopic front fork, the B31 gained (optional) plunger rear suspension in 1949 and an all-new swinging-arm frame in '54. A good all-round performer by the standards of its time, the B31 could cruise comfortably all day at 60mph while returning 75-plus miles per gallon, virtues that endeared it to private owners and police forces alike. This much loved and highly successful model was last produced in 1959, its place in the BSA range being taken by the unitary construction B40. This BSA B31 was first registered in the UK in March 1950 as 'YFF 749', which is still on the DVLA database with no 'export' marker showing. Restored throughout and very nicely presented, the BSA was last taxed to 31st May 2022 and at time of cataloguing had 2,898 miles showing on the odometer. The machine is offered with a BSA motorcycle service chart; an instruction manual; and an Isle of Man registration certificate (missing its lower half).Footnotes:If purchased by a UK resident, this machine will be subject to a NOVA Declaration, which Bonhams will undertake at no cost to the buyer.
