He failed, in fact, inthe primary object, which was to produce intelligible speech at the receivingend. This seems to have been due to his use of an interrupted transmissioncurrent which seriously affected the quality of reception."

His work on the Non-Euclidean geometry and mathematics 'for the most part paralleled that of other European mathematicians. It is, for example, worth noting that in his algebra Lobachevsky suggested a method for separating roots of equation by their repeated squaring, a method coincident with that suggested by Dandelin in 1826 and by Gräffe in 1837' (DSB).

Mizer had founded his photography studio and publishing house, Athletic Model Guild (AMG), in 1945; within two years, he was convicted of distributing obscene material in the form of black and white photographs of young bodybuilders wearing 'posing straps' made by his mother. He continued his work nonetheless.Physique Pictorial, which ran from 1951 to 1990, was packed with Mizer's photographs of soldiers, sailors, hopeful actors, and later on pure street hustlers - each accompanied by light-hearted biographies: Jim is 'an active gymnast... [he] plays the piano and does tricks (magician tricks, that is)'. In addition, the periodical included Tom of Finland's extraordinary run of drawings, usually in sets of six per theme. They functioned as 'teen photo stories' which Mizer published and then sold as photographic copies to his ever-growing readership.Together, Tom and Mizer codified a new form of male erotica, exploding the charged sexuality under the surface of American life. In Tom's extravagantly romantic images - a potent mix of exaggerated physicality and emotional truth - bikers handle attempted thieves a little too roughly, a strapping TV repairman is cornered against the set by its owner, and the sailors taking a novice to a tattoo parlour are all high-tensile teeth and smiles. It was precisely Tom who developed a new set of subcultural codes (leatherman, cowboy, biker, cop), turning the workwear and uniforms of blue-collar America into a set of cross-cultural fantasy signals that have become globally recognised - permeating the imagery of Robert Mapplethorpe, the Village People, and Queen.On the back cover of the December 1974 issue of Physique Pictorial was this rare and fine finished drawing from Tom's golden age, part of Mizer's 'Set S', where a standing nude makes a possessive/protective gesture to his crouching friend, both regarding the onlooker, direct but enigmatic.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

An electro-magnetic 'Jubilee' longcase regulator timepieceJohn Wilding, Petworth, 1992Built to a design by E.T. Wesbury with Scott's notched escapewheel shunted by a detent attached to the shaft of the seconds pendulum incorporating heavy cylindrical iron bob and T-bar suspension and impulsed by a second detent driven by a twin coil solenoid activated by electrical contacts opened and closed by the escapement, the mechanism applied to a shaped cast iron backplate incorporating wide-jaw pendulum suspension bracket and posts to support the brass plates for the dial motionwork driven by worm take-off from the escapement, with skeletonised Roman numeral chapter ring signed John Wilding, Petworth 1992 to inner margin and brass hands, the case with moulded cornice above tall rectangular glazed front door and conforming windows to sides, on plinth base with moulded skirt, 163cm (64.25ins) high. Provenance: The property of a private collector, Hertfordshire; purchased from a selection of clocks consigned by John Wilding offered at Bonhams Knightsbridge, London in their sale of Clocks and Watches 24th May 2011 (lot 279) for £660.  John Wilding initially worked as an agricultural engineer after WWII whilst making clocks from articles published in Model Engineer in his spare time. This led to him devising horological projects which became the subject of instructional articles in the same periodical as well as the Horological Journal. For a short period John Wilding worked in a London horological workshop managed by Ron Rose and as a wheel cutter which provided him with the additional skills and knowledge to publish no less than 29 books on either individual clock making projects or horological techniques. For his contribution to the field he was made a fellow of the British Horological Institute in 1986 and was awarded the Institute's Barrett Silver Medal in 1998.The current lot is built to the design originally published as a series in Model Engineer during 1958 and latterly in his book entitled The Construction of the M. E. Jubilee Clock. In the Bonhams catalogue description for the current lot John Wilding notes:This timepiece was originally designed by E.T.Westbury for the Jubilee issue of Model Engineer. It employs the Scott's notched tooth count wheel. There were one or two difficulties with the design and I rectified these. It has become a very popular clock.Condition Report: Timepiece is in sound original condition and is in working condition (was running when removed from the vendors house). The battery has been substituted by a mains operated DC power supply which is present with the lot. The dial is in god original unrestored condition with one or two very minor age related patches of discolouration in places; the chapter ring is very slightly bowed but can be very easily straightened. The case also is in good condition with a few minor bumps and scuffs only. The timepiece is complete with pendulum and two case keys. Condition Report Disclaimer

RARE An unusual Victorian bound music book autographed by some very wellknown Victorian Entertainers including Fred Robson (1821 1864), Edwin Pearce Christy (1815 1862) and Eliza Cook (1818 1889). This is a Victorian hard bound book containing 22 popular music scores. The opening score is The Postman's Knock Song and this starts with a stunning colour title page (please see photographs). The book has a number of these beautiful title pages at the start of the music scores and it is unusual to find them still in a Victorian music book today as most were cut out and framed in the past. The title page for "Vilikens and his Dinah. Sung by Mr F Robson in the Musical Farce of The Wandering Minstrel" is autographed by Fred Robson (1821 1864) born Thomas Brownbill he was an English comedian, actor and ballad singer. During his acting career, he combined outstanding comic gifts with the power of moving an audience to a sense of tragedy or pathos. He was well known for performing as a Cockney streetsinger, in The Wandering Minstrel, a oneact farce by Henry Mayhew, performing the role from around 1852 with revivals in many towns and at the Olympic Theatre in the West End of London until not long before his death in 1864. The title page for "Christy's Minstrels I'm off to Charlestown" is autographed by Edwin Pearce Christy (1815 1862) was an American composer, singer, actor, stage producer and was the founder of the blackface minstrel group Christy's Minstrels. He was an influential person in the history of Minstrelsy and theatre in American history. His career in minstrelsy began in New York in the 1840s and from there he became a sensation. He and six other performers performed around the country in blackface and eventually he began composing his own minstrel songs and sketches. In 1855 he retired as a performer, but he continued to be involved in the theatre as he managed his original group Christy's Minstrels. Edwin Christy committed suicide during the American Civil War for fear of money troubles. The title page for "Spring, Spring, Beautiful Spring" composed by Eliza Cook is autographed by Eliza Cook (1818 1889) was an English author and poet associated with the Chartist movement. She was a proponent of political freedom for women, and believed in the ideology of selfimprovement through education, something she called "levelling up." This made her hugely popular with the workingclass public in both England and America. Her poem The Old Armchair (1838) made her a household name for a generation, both in England and the United States. In that year, she published Melaia and Other Poems. From 1849 to 1854 she wrote, edited, and published Eliza Cook's Journal, a weekly periodical she described as one of "utility and amusement. The full list of the 22 music scores bound in the book are as follow: The Postman's Knock Song, Campton Races, Britannia The Pride of the Ocean, Will You Come to My Mountain Home, The Wishing Gate, What Are The Wild Waves Saying, Bonnie Dundee, Oh Charming May, Hearts and Homes (signed but unidentified), Shells of Ocean, Ever of Thee, Goodbye Sweetheart Goodbye, Vilikens and his Dinah, I'm off to Charlestown, Spring Spring Beautiful Spring, The Scotch Polka, The Royal English March, Annen Polka, The Albion Schottisch, The Royal Irish Quadrilles (signed but unidentified), Polka Elegante and La Reine Des Roses.

Sir David Young Cameron ( 1865-1945) Scottish Etching ? Perth Bridge ? on the River Tay 1889. Titled and signed within the plate lower right Plate aperture 7 1/8 x 10 3/8 " ( 18.2 x 26.3cm) Ref. National Gallery Scotland, ?Cameron was encouraged to take up etching in 1887 by the collector and amateur etcher George Stevenson, who had seen a couple of the young artist?s drawings in a shop window. Stevenson introduced him to the etching technique, financed him, presented him to dealers, and published Cameron?s first series of etchings, including the ?Clyde Set? in 1889. This print, showing Perth Bridge on the River Tay, was published in the influental periodical 'The Portfolio' in 1889. Cameron skilfully constructed an atmospheric perspective by creating a tonal transition from deeply etched dark areas in the foreground, to a light background with outlines of distant hills hardly touched by acid.?
