B.S.A. B21 Registration Number: FTU 679 First Registered: 1938 Engine Size: 250cc Colour: Black and Silver Engine Number: KB 21701 Frame Number: KB 211093 V5C present Val Page, chief designer and engineer at B.S.A. designed a new range of bikes in the late 1930s, with the war fast approaching and fuel rationing on the cards page used just one engine design for his new range, split into the light B model and the heavier M range, both with much in common in their manner of construction. All had a vertical cylinder, gear-driven camshafts, rear magneto and dry sump lubrication. They were simple and robust, also affordable. Even though this model had a smaller 250cc side valve engine, the bike was still physically imposing with sporting looks and like all B.S.A. motorcycles of their day, incredibly well engineered. This example offered is an extremely original machine, with correct numbers and tin ware. The current owner has stated that at some time in its long history it has had been owned by a B.S.A. works rider. Mechanically the bike is said to be in good order with good compression and still sports a positive degree and patina. A nice prewar lightweight machine capable of keeping up with modern traffic, eligible for many of the vintage motorcycle events annually up and down the country. Buyer's premium of 10% (+VAT) applies to this lot. Later restoration, paint ok with some micro blistering. Chrome good. Engine and gearbox casings tarnished but good. Dry stored for recommissioning.

Advertising Art Nouveau original vintage poster The Fine Art Society's Exhibition - Water Colours of Flower Time. In the Austrian Tyrol Italy & England by Rosa Wallis. The Fine Art Society are art dealers with two premises, one in New Bond Street, London occupied since February 1876, and given a new entrance facade in 1881 by Edward William Godwin (1833–1886), and most recently fully refurbished in 2004–05, with a new gallery created for contemporary work. The other gallery is in Dundas Street in Edinburgh's New Town (originally Bourne Fine Art, established 1978). The gallery is also known as the pioneer of the one-man exhibition, most famously that of James McNeill Whistler's First Venice Set of etchings in December 1880; the gallery having sent Whistler to Venice in 1879 in part to enable him to escape from the issues following his libel action against John Ruskin. The commission was for Whistler to travel to Venice for three months to create a series of twelve etchings. Beguiled by the city, he stayed for fourteen months and completed approximately fifty etchings. Venice also inspired Whistler to make some hundred works in pastel, of which 53 were shown in the Venice Pastels exhibition in 1881. During Whistler's absence in Venice, the gallery showed his antagonist John Ruskin's private Collection of Watercolours by J. M. W. Turner, and ran a subscription to pay for Ruskin's legal costs: a supreme exhibition of political sleight of hand. Other living exhibitors at the London premises included Sir John Everett Millais, John Singer Sargent, Burne-Jones, Frank Brangwyn, Walter Richard Sickert, Walter Crane, George Washington Lambert, Henry Charles Brewer and Joseph Southall, and more recently Leonard Rosoman, Emma Sargent, Emily Young, John Byrne, Alexander Stoddart and Geoffrey Clarke.

Septimus Edwin Scott (1879-1965), who signed his name Sept E. Scott, was a British painter, illustrator and comics artist. Scott was born in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, England, on 19 March 1879, and studied at the Royal College of Art in London. By 1903 he was exhibiting his landscape and portrait paintings at the Royal Academy. He was elected an associate of the Royal Society of British Artists in 1919, the Royal Institute of Oil Painters in 1920 and Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours in 1927. As an illustrator, Scott contributed to periodicals including The Graphic and The Red Magazine, painted colour plates for editions of Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities and R. M. Ballantyne's The Coral Island, and illustrated a number of Ladybird Books. He also illustrated the book An Incurable Disease written under the pseudonym Roland Dunster by Lord Stevenson. During the First World War he painted propaganda posters for the Ministry of Munitions, and from the 1920s he worked in advertising, painting posters for Lifebuoy soap, Mars chocolate bars and Players cigarettes, among many other products. His art was probably most widely known through railway company posters such as one for the London & North Eastern Railway to advertise rail services to Newcastle's North East Coast Exhibition, which was open from May to October 1929. In 1948 he was recruited by Amalgamated Press comics editor Leonard Matthews to draw historical adventure comic strips. He illustrated the pirate series "Captain Flame" for Knockout from 1948 to 1953, and "The King's Captain" for Comet from 1951 to 1952, both strips written by Matthews. He drew five issues of Thriller Comics Library, which also reprinted his "Captain Flame" and "King's Captain" serials, and painted 108 covers for the title, and several for Cowboy Comics Library, War Picture Library and Swift. He also drew strips for the nursery titles Playhour and Jack and Jill, and contributed illustrations to the educational magazine Look and Learn.
