Williams asking Herwinn to take photographs of apparatus he now owns but formerly in the possession of Professor Hoffmann (Angelo Lewis) and enclosing an A.L.s. from Lewis on the matter, dated 2nd and 3rd August 1907 respectively; conjuring trade catalogue of Gilbert Stout sent to Herwinn in original envelope; envelope with James Stevens-Cox's note reading "Hartz's cards given to me by Prof Herwin (Mr Humpage) Nov. 9th 1928" with an assortment of playing cards; another envelope with pencil note (not JSC) reading Hartz's Champagne labels and 4 labels inserted; another envelope with pencil note by JSC reading "Hartz's Cab. The original photograph found in Hartz's box after his death by Prof Herwin, who bought much of his apparatus" with 2 photographs inserted, v.d. (small bundle)⁂ An excellent group of ephemera. Herwinn (born William Humpage, 1861-1946) was an early member of the Magic Circle and devised the first Thumb Tip around 1885. The spelling of his name is inconsistent. Christopher Charlton (1887-1963) was known as the Royal Illusionist and his collection of books and periodicals forms part of the Magic Circle library. Joseph Michael Hartz (1836-1903) was a pioneer Vaudeville performer who had also opened what was possibly the first American magic shop, the 'Magical Repository' in New York, c.1870. Chris Van Bern (1872-1950) was a Life Member of the Inner Magic Circle and held high positions in numerous other magic societies.
Card-Playing.- [?Hawkins (William)], "Gyles Smith". Serious Reflections on the Dangerous Tendency Of the Common Practice of Card-Playing; Especially of the Game of All-Fours, as it hath been Publickly play'd at Oxford..., 24pp., first edition with "price fourpence" at foot of title, title browned, modern boards, W.Owen, [1755] § [Bolton (Robert)] A Letter to a Lady, on Card-Playing on the Lord's Day, first edition, half-title, modern wrappers, for J.Leake at Bath [&] M. Cooper & R. Dodsley, 1748 § Beaufort (James) Hoyle's Games Improved, being practical treatises on...Whist, Quadrille, Piquet, Back-gammon, Chess, Billiard and Tennis, first edition, contemporary sheep, a little worn, S.Bladon, 1775, 8vo & 12mo (3)⁂ The first was written as a response to the increasing popularity of card games, brought about by the numerous publications of Edmond Hoyle. Hawkins was a clergyman, poet, dramatist and the Professor of Poetry at Oxford. Unsurprisingly there are many copies in various Oxford colleges but it is rare in commerce. The last is a reworking and simplification of Hoyle's guides to games with billiards and tennis (i.e. real tennis) added and which Hoyle had "never touched upon".

FLEMING (IAN)Dr. No, FIRST EDITION, FIRST IMPRESSION, FIRST STATE, with the plain black publisher's cloth binding, spine lettered in silver, FINE IN A NEAR MINT PROOF DUST-JACKET, slightly taller than the book and with wider flaps [cf. Gilbert A6a(1.1 or 1.2)], 8vo, Jonathan Cape, 1958Footnotes:A FINE COPY IN A PROOF DUST-JACKET ORIGINATING FROM THE ESTATE OF THE DESIGNER PAT MARRIOTT.The proof dust-jacket corresponds to Gilbert's description of the first impression jacket, but differs slightly in so far as it is some 2mm. taller (196mm.), and has much wider inner flaps which have not been clipped, so that the price appears nearer to the centre of the front flap. A comparison alongside a published jacket also shows that the design and colours appear an exact match except for one small detail, the 'Greek urn' circular device on the spine being bright white as opposed to off-white as described by Gilbert.The design for Dr. No 'shows in a beautifully understated but provocative way, Honeychile Rider nude on the beach... Marriott's initial idea for Dr No was not to Fleming's liking and so she produced an entirely different idea and the result was the jacket that we know and love... This is the most extraordinary jacket for its time not least because Fleming's name, by being printed in black, is barely visible. And then the subdued colours, and indistinct figure and background are contrary to any designs of the period. In its own way, it would have stood out as much as any Chopping cover' (Graham Thomas, 'Pat Marriott - Bond illustrator', on Mid-Century Bond website, 2019).Provenance: Pat Marriott (Patricia Marriott, 1920-2002), designer of the dust-jackets of the first editions of Diamonds Are Forever and Dr. No, and the 1957 'playing card' edition of Casino Royale. Marriott was known as an illustrator of children's books and in 1954 had married Fleming's literary advisor and a director at Cape, Michael Howard, who drew the author's attention to her work; by descent until purchased by the present owner.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
