**A RARE 25 BORE ENGLISH FLINTLOCK BREECH-LOADING REPEATING MAGAZINE GUN ON THE LORENZONI PRINCIPLE, CIRCA 1690 with three-stage barrel formed with a pronounced octagonal moulding incorporating a silver fore-sight at the muzzle, etched with foliage (previously damascened) behind, faceted breech retaining traces of damascened ornament including leafy foliage, grooved for sighting and fitted with rotating brass breech block operated by a moulded lever on the left, the tang damascened with a green man mask, rounded lock engraved in the French taste with a scroll inscribed 'God save the King' carried by a cherub, fitted with engraved cock decorated with a serpent and foliage (top-jaw and screw replaced), powder magazine with engraved cover, the opposite side of the lock with a trap door for the ball magazine figured walnut half-stock (a working replacement) carved with a moulding about the tang, moulded iron trigger-guard damascened en suite with the breech, and iron butt-cap (patch box cover replaced) 67.5 cm; 26 ½ in barrel Provenance The Gill family, Hale, Liverpool until circa 1965. The present system is named after the Florentine gunsmith Michelle Lorenzoni though there is no evidence to suggest that he was the inventor of it. This system seems to have enjoyed some popularity in England, as evidenced by the frequently quoted text of Samuel Pepys who wrote on 3rd July 1662 'A gun to discharge seven times, the best of all devices I ever saw, and very serviceable, and not a bauble; for it is much approved of, and many made thereof'. However, given the design it is likely that a number of the powder magazines exploded thus accounting for the rarity of such arms today. For an account of Lorenzoni see J. F. Hayward 1963, pp. 141-143.

An Ivory Admissions Token to Vauxhall Gardens, 1808, to hear Miss Fearon, the oval token engraved and stained with date and 'Two' denoting the fact that the ticket admitted two people, and 'Miss Fearon' to the reverse 5½cm (2in) Provenance: From the collection of the late Christopher Hogwood CBE Miss Fearon (or Feron) was a famous soloist who sang at the Vauxhall Gardens. There is a delightful engraving held at the Victoria & Albert Museum illustrating Miss Fearon on the stage entitled "The Romp, or the Great Catalani: Sung, with unprecedented applause by Miss Feron at the Vauxhall Gardens". (Museum No S294-1997). A contemporary diary records 'On the evening of the 2d ult. we were regaled with the imitative powers of Miss Feron; but, while they excite our admiration, we cannot help lamenting that those exertions will infallibly, in the end, ruin her voice'. (Minet V, f.82) She studied under the violinist Charles Cobham and also in Italy. Her admission ticket for the 1808 season is held at the Foundling Museum, part of the Gerald Coke Handel Collection. The Vauxhall Gardens stood on the south side of the Thames, a short distance east of Vauxhall Bridge. It was one of the leading venues for public entertainment from the reign of Charles II almost to the end of the 19th century. Samuel Pepys recorded many trips to the gardens in his diaries. The artist William Hogarth is credited with encouraging the owner, William Tyler, to transform the gardens into a leafy pleasure garden and was given a lifetime pass. The Gardens drew all manner of people and supported enormous crowds, with the paths being noted for romantic assignations and entertainment being provided by concerts, firework displays, tightrope walkers and hot-air balloon ascents. The gardens closed in 1859.
