Lot 122

House of Commons. Proceedings...on the Liverpool and Manchester Railroad Bill. Sessions 1825, 12 hand-coloured lithographed plans, most folding, folding lithographed view of Black Brook House (a villa endangered by the railway), 2 folding warehouse plans, errata slip, lithographed view water-stained, folding plan of part of Manchester at p.593 torn and repaired, contemporary half green morocco, rubbed, folio, 1825.⁂ The Liverpool & Manchester railway was the first intended for passenger as well as goods traffic. The establishment forces of peers and vested turnpike interests combined to defeat this bill, and in so doing George Stephenson was to some extent damaged by the severe grilling he received under cross examination. Issues of access, denied to him by dissenting landowners, led to the submission of inaccurate surveys; these and other matters led to the bill's downfall. The Company reassigned the survey to George Rennie and his brother, and the bill, with a few changes mollifying the noble landlords, achieved Royal Assent in 1826. The company then took no time, to Rennie's chagrin, in reappointing Stephenson as the engineer to build the line.A pencil note at beginning states that this was from the library of Sir George Armytage, chairman of the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Co. 1887-1918.

Morton's Book 1789" to head of title, plates 30 & 66 lacking lower portion where poorly trimmed, old pencil or ink sketches to verso of a few plates and endpapers, rather soiled, for C. & R.Ware, 1763 § Neve (Richard) The City and Country Purchaser's and Builder's Dictionary..., third edition, engraved frontispiece of Chiswick House, for B.Sprint, 1736 § Salmon (William) The London and Country Builder's Vade Mecum: Or, The Complete and Universal Estimator, fifth edition, engraved frontispiece, a little soiled and damp-stained, contemporary ink inscription to front free endpaper, modern calf, S. Crowder and B. Collins, 1773 § Building Act (The)...shewing the proper thickness of party-walls, external-walls, and chimnies, 3 engraved plates, 16pp. publisher's catalogue at end, spotted, modern calf-backed boards, Cambridge, J.Archdeacon for Taylor's Architectural Library, 1791, the first three all contemporary calf or sheep, rubbed, rebacked, [Harris 430, 436, 597, 792 & 92]; and 4 others, similar, including a defective first edition of The Builder's Price-Book of 1776, 8vo (9)

The plates depict a wide selection of designs in the late Baroque or Louis XIV style for classical scenes and landscapes, triumphal arches, doorways, gates & ironwork, theatre set designs, tombs, painted rooms & staircases, ceilings, panelling & windows, chimneypieces, ornaments, gold & silverwork, clocks, furnishings, bed, embroidery, parterres, garden ornaments, vases etc.

Lot 248

Soane (Sir John, 1753-1837), Attributed to. Study of an architectural detail from a door in the Temple of the Sun, Campus Agrippae, Rome, pen and brown ink with brown wash over traces of pencil, inscribed 'Frieze of a Door in a Temple of ye Sun', on 18th century cream laid paper with Pro Patria watermark with lion shown within two concentric circles, with text 'libertate pro patria eiusque', surmounted by a crown, sheet 130 x 310 mm (5 1/8 x 12 1/4 in), inset at edges onto window mount, some handling creases, browning and surface dirt, unframed, [c.1779-1782]; together with an elevation study of a unidentified public building, by an artist working in the circle of Sir John Soane and his Office, pencil, brush and ink, on laid paper with partial text-based watermark '[?]LL', pencil and ink studies for architectural decoration verso, sheet 115 x 410 mm (4 1/2 x 16 1/8 in), minor exposure lines and light browning, unframed, [probably late 18th century] (2)⁂ This architectural detail appears to relate to the group of drawings that Soane and Henry Holland produced during their tour of Italy in 1779-1782. However, the present sheet seems more worked up and finished than the examples found in the sketchbooks held in the Soane Museum [see for instance 'Miscellaneous Sketches', 1780-2 (SM volume 40), and 'Miscellaneous Sketches 1777', largely by Henry Holland (SM volume 38)].

Lot 279

Vitruvius Pollio (Marcus) [Architettura], fragment only, lacking all before A4 (f.4) and all after M8 (f.96), with 11ff. of Index (Aa3-Bb5; Anatoni- Pariete) bound at end, numerous woodcut illustrations and initials, soiled and stained, tears to C1 & E8, leaves towards end of text frayed by damp with some loss, modern boards, [?Perugia, G.Bigazzini], [?1536]; The Civil Architecture..., translated by William Wilkins, 41 engraved plates, with final otherwise blank imprint leaf, some foxing, bookplate of James O'Byrne, contemporary half calf, rubbed, rebacked & recornered preserving old gilt spine, new label, [Fowler 429], 1812-[17]; and another later edition of Vitruvius, folio & 4to (3)⁂ A pencil note by Gibson on front pastedown of the first identifies the fragment as being from the 1536 Perugia edition but reference to Fowler 400 & Millard Italian 159 suggests that this is incorrect.

Lot 293

Lot 36

Brettingham (Matthew) The Plans, Elevations and Sections, of Holkham in Norfolk, the seat of the Earl of Leicester, to which are added, the Ceilings and Chimney-pieces..., second edition, 66 engraved plates & plans on 65 sheets, 7 folding and/or double-page, without the 4 additional plates sometimes found at end (as in the Millard copy), old ink signature of John P.Boileau to head of title and another later pencil inscription "James Fletcher Watson 18 April 1957", a few plates lightly browned or with marginal soiling but generally clean, some lightly water-stained at upper edge, contemporary half calf, uncut, rubbed, spine worn at foot, [Berlin Kat. 2336; Harris 48; Millard British 8], folio, T.Spilsbury for B.White and S.Leacroft, 1773.⁂ Greatly enlarged second edition of this architectural record of Holkham Hall, Norfolk, the seat of Thomas Coke, 1st Earl of Leicester, built by Brettingham to designs by William Kent under Lord Burlington's supervision. It was first published in 1761 in a similar format to Isaac Ware's work on Houghton Hall (see lot 285), but omitted to mention Kent as the architect. After Brettingham's death in 1769 his son Matthew issued this second edition in which he admits that Holkham was designed by William Kent, and not his father as had been claimed in the first edition. It includes many more plates, mostly of ceilings and chimney-pieces.Sir John Peter Boileau, Bt., FRS, DL, JP (1794-1869), of Norfolk, archaeologist.James Fletcher-Watson (1913-2004), watercolourist and architect.

Lot 4

Adam (Robert, 1728-1792), Attributed to. Three sheets of vaulted interiors, architectural facades and capriccio, pen and brown & grey inks over pencil, with grey wash, on laid paper without visible watermarks, sheets between 210 x 190 mm (8 1/4 x 7 1/2 in) and 200 x 250 mm (7 7/8 x 9 7/8 in), affixed at corners onto mount support, some damp-stains and browning, minor handling creases, unframed, [c.1754-1757] (3)⁂ Traditionally thought to be by an Italian artist active in the early 18th century working in the circle of Ferdinando Galli-Bibiena (1657-1743). However, the distinctly British penmanship and character suggests an attribution to the Adam brothers, and the drawings closely relate to work by Robert Adam found in the travel albums from his Grand Tour of 1754 to 1757. [For close comparative studies held in the Soane Museum, see "http://collections.soane.org/OBJECT1093", "http://collections.soane.org/OBJECT758", and "http://collections.soane.org/OBJECT776"].
