Dr. Joseph Scheer (German/American, B. 1958) "Samia Cynthia" Digital print on heavy watercolor paper. Pencil signed, dated (2005), titled and numbered (AP) lower margin. Provenance: comes from the collection of Mr William Tippit, friend of Dr Scheer and owned the property that Dr Scheer would visit in Florida and where some of the images were taken for this series.Image Size: 30 x 40 in. Sheet Size: 34 x 46.5 in. Unframed. Joseph Scheer is a Professor of Print Media, and Co-Director/Founder of the Institute for Electronic Arts at the School of Art and Design, Alfred University. His current works, which span print media, video and web based projects, use technology to re-examine nature through interpretive collecting and visual recording. His most recent work has been exhibited at The Brooklyn Museum of Art, Brooklyn, New York and the National Museum of China, Beijing. The National Museum of Sweden, Stockholm and The Field Museum, Chicago, IL, He has published two books about his work; Night Visions, the Secret Designs of Moths, published by Prestel and Night Flyers, published by Nexus Press. To make his astounding prints, artist Joseph Scheer captures incredibly detailed images of moths with a scanner originally designed for film and transparencies. The tiny micro moths are as small as .25 inch and the giant Silkmoths have wings spans up to 5 inches. Using a special scanner that has a programmable focus for different depths of field, he scans each specimen between 7 and 40 times using different points of focus. Then he painstakingly reassembles them choosing only parts from the files that are in focus. The scanner records so much information—67 million data points per square inch—that a single specimen may take a full day to scan. The data files generated are huge: some of his many layered images are up to 10 Gigabytes before processing. With resolution that high, scans can be enlarged 2,700 percent and still be perfectly clear.

Yves Klein (1928–1962) was a French artist known for his pioneering contributions to the development of Post-War European art. He is particularly associated with the Nouveau Réalisme and Zero movements, and he is best known for his exploration of color, space, and his creation of the iconic "International Klein Blue" (IKB).Some key points about Yves Klein and his work:1. **International Klein Blue (IKB):** One of Klein's most famous contributions to the art world is the creation of his own unique ultramarine color known as International Klein Blue. This vivid and intense blue became a signature element of his artworks.2. **Monochromatic Paintings:** Klein is known for his monochromatic paintings, where he applied layers of pigment to create a flat, uniform surface. These works are often associated with the Minimalist movement.3. **Anthropometry:** Klein developed a technique called "Anthropometry," where he used the human body as a paintbrush. He covered models in paint and had them press their bodies against canvas, creating abstract compositions.4. **Sculptures and Installations:** Klein's artistic practice extended beyond paintings. He also created sculptures, often utilizing unconventional materials, and explored ideas related to space, void, and immateriality.5. **Performance Art:** Klein's art often involved performative elements, blurring the lines between traditional art forms. His exhibitions were conceptual and immersive experiences.6. **Spiritual and Philosophical Influences:** Klein's work was influenced by his interest in Eastern spirituality, mysticism, and his belief in the power of art to evoke profound emotions and connections.7. **Legacy:** Yves Klein's artistic innovations have had a lasting impact on the art world. His emphasis on color, materiality, and the relationship between art and viewer influenced subsequent generations of artists.Klein's relatively short life did not hinder the significance of his contributions. His innovative approach to color, material, and his exploration of ideas related to the spiritual and the immaterial continue to inspire and influence contemporary artists and art movements.Yves Klein "Blue Circle" Serigraph. Measures (approx): 23 x 23.

Yves Klein (1928–1962) was a French artist known for his influential contributions to the development of post-war art movements, particularly Nouveau Réalisme and his signature color "International Klein Blue" (IKB). He is recognized for his exploration of color, space, and materiality, as well as his innovative approach to art-making.Key points about Yves Klein and his art:1. **International Klein Blue (IKB):** One of Klein's most notable achievements was the creation of his own unique color known as "International Klein Blue." This intense ultramarine hue became a central element in his artwork and is associated with his distinctive style.2. **Monochromatic Paintings:** Klein is well-known for his monochromatic paintings, particularly those created using IKB. These works often convey a sense of pure color, inviting viewers to focus on the emotional and sensory experience of the artwork.3. **Anthropometry:** Klein developed a technique called "Anthropometry," in which he used the human body as a paintbrush. He would apply paint to the bodies of models and press them against canvases, creating abstract and dynamic compositions.4. **Fire Paintings:** Another unique technique employed by Klein was his "Fire Paintings." He would use a blowtorch to create patterns and textures on the canvas, resulting in artworks that captured the element of chance and transformation.5. **Void (Le Vide):** In 1958, Klein exhibited an empty gallery space titled "The Void" (Le Vide). The exhibition challenged conventional ideas of what art could be and invited viewers to consider the presence of absence.6. **Performance Art and Music:** Klein's artistic interests extended beyond traditional visual art. He was also interested in performance art and music, collaborating with composers and exploring sound as an artistic medium.7. **Nouveau Réalisme:** Along with artists like Arman, Jean Tinguely, and others, Klein was associated with the Nouveau Réalisme movement, which emerged in the early 1960s and sought to blur the lines between art and reality by incorporating everyday objects and experiences into artistic practice.8. **Legacy:** Yves Klein's impact on the art world can be seen in his innovative use of color, materials, and unconventional techniques. His work laid the foundation for later art movements like Minimalism and Conceptual Art.9. **Premature Passing:** Tragically, Klein's life was cut short at the age of 34 due to a heart attack. Despite his relatively short career, his influence and contributions continue to resonate in the realm of contemporary art.Yves Klein's experimental approach to art, his emphasis on color and materiality, and his boundary-pushing techniques have secured his place as a significant figure in the evolution of post-war art. His work challenges traditional notions of art and continues to inspire artists exploring new realms of expression.Measures 16 x 20.

1985 Jaguar XJ-SC (3.6 litre) Transmission: automaticMileage:26743The Jaguar's XJS was launched in 1975, its twenty one year production life was a testimony to the excellence of its basic design. With all round independent, coil sprung suspension, power assisted rack and pinion steering and disc brakes, its excellent ride/handling balance was justly praised by the contemporary motoring press. The XJS's original 5.3 litre developed some 295bhp in later fuel injected form and when allied to automatic transmission gave authoritative 150mph performance but did suffer from very bad fuel consumption. Many would argue the 3.6 litre AJ6 unit is the sweet spot, with ample power and far better fuel economy. The targa element of the XJ-SC was often preferred over the straight convertible as it added more torsional rigidity and so increased performance.This example is a true piece of Jaguar history, it is a pre-production XJ-SC built in 1983 in left hand drive form, then converted to right hand drive by the factory before being delivered to its first owner. Benefitting from the Getrag five-speed manual gearbox, this example is a true driver's car, quite opposite to its V12 powered automatic siblings and offers a very different driving experience. Having covered less than 27,000 miles from new, this XJ-SC presents in very impressive condition throughout and comes to auction with an MoT test certificate valid until September 2024 and is supplied with a comprehensive history file. Although the car is photographed with its factory rear hardtop, the folding rear section is included.

2004 Porsche 911 / 996 Turbo S Transmission: manualMileage:61800The 996 model is a superb car; quick, reliable, well-made and representing the birth of the water-cooled 911. With a wide range of models on offer, the most iconic is, of course, the Turbo. Featuring four-wheel drive and a 3.6 litre, intercooled engine derived from the 1998 Le Mans winning GT-1 car pushing out 420bhp and hitting 60mph in a whisker over four seconds, this is genuine supercar territory. The 996 was seen as a more relaxed and usable 911; however, in Turbo guise, the driver would get the best of both worlds; a luxury leather interior with every creature comfort combined with the ability to drop the hammer and reach a top speed of a claimed 190mph. In 2002, the X50 package was offered as an option on the Turbo that included larger K24 turbochargers and intercoolers, a revised ECU and quad-pipe exhaust which raised power output to 444bhp, however in 2005, Porsche introduced the Turbo S model available as either a coupé or cabriolet. The Turbo S was essentially a 996 turbo with the X50 option but also included PCCB, six-disc CD changer and aluminium-faced instruments. Worldwide production for the 996 Turbo S (including both Coupé and Cabriolet) was 1,563 cars. This makes this model very limited in numbers.A collectable and rare example of the 911 presented in Artic Silver with contrasting black leather trim, this example of the iconic Turbo S was first registered on 4th October 2004. Originally a Porsche Press car and featured in magazines, copies of which can be found in the history file. Costing when new a shade under £100,000, this example has covered a mere 61,800 miles and presents well for a privately owned example. Importantly, a manual example of the ultimate incarnation of the 996 Turbo, this is one of just 1,563 units produced of a desirable Turbo S boasting the X50 engine and believed to be one of less than 60 UK manual cars. Upon inspection it was advised the car would benefit from new tyres and a wheel refurbishment, but our vendor has sensibly taken this into account when pricing the car allowing a new owner to adorn the Turbo S with their own choice. The bodywork and trim are all in very good order and the car recently obtained an MoT test certificate which is valid until July 2024 with the only advisories regarding tyre wear. The car boasts just six former keepers in its 19 years along with the original magazine from its use a press car and a large folder of paperwork and invoices. We are informed the car drives very well and is still eye wateringly fast as it should and, as a flagship Turbo S made at the end of the 996 generation's life, comes with the X50 option pack as factory standard. This includes larger turbochargers and intercoolers that propel the car to 60mph in four seconds and combined with Porsche's excellent stability control, makes for a sensational and satisfying drive. This stunning example is an ideal usable modern classic investment that can be fully enjoyed at a fraction of the original cost.

Registration OU56 KVSChassis Number SAJAC73R97TH13622Engine Number 0606170912TGOdometer reading 95,500 milesEstimateNo ReserveJaguar's long-standing commitment to creating beautiful, contemporary, fast cars was reinforced once again with the unveiling of the special edition 400bhp XJR Portfolio. The Concept Eight was the first time that Jaguar had shown its new performance styling to the public and the reaction was so positive that many of its key design details, such as the eye-catching polished wheels, side power vents and Satin American Walnut trim, were soon to grace a special edition XJ produced for the USA and other key European and global markets. Both front and rear seats have variable heating and the driver's seat includes lumbar and cushion length power adjust with full memory function. To add to that unique performance feel, the XJR Portfolio also sports an aluminium J-gate gear lever surround and chrome and leather gear knob. The all-aluminium construction methods that Jaguar introduced with the latest generation XJ saloon in 2003 broke new ground in the volume automotive industry. Unlike other aluminium-bodied cars, the XJ family uses full stressed-skin monocoque construction including all the outer panels, is manufactured from aluminium. As a result, the XJR Portfolio is around 200kg lighter than before with significant benefits in performance, safety, economy and emissions performance. The XJR Portfolio's immense performance capabilities stem not just from its lightweight body but from its renowned 400bhp supercharged, 4.2 litre V8 engine. That excellent engine is matched by the superb six-speed ZF automatic transmission and gives an electronically limited maximum speed of 155mph and 0-60mph in exactly 5.0 seconds.This very nice example is presented in Midnight Metallic with an ivory leather interior, pressed aluminium dash, gear console surround and door cappings and is one of the 100 limited edition cars produced for the UK market. It comes with previous V5C registration documents, Press kit, sales brochure, previous MoT test certificates and service history. There is also a Jaguar Heritage Certificate and the wheels (with Heritage wheel centres) have been refurbished which included powder coating. The car also comes with its original bookpack which is complete, one set of keys, one chauffeur key and a first aid kit. These are rare, quick saloons which provide luxury and speed at a fraction of the cost today from when it was first manufactured.

1978 Matra Simca Bagheera XTransmission: manualMileage:60120The Matra Bagheera was built by the automotive division of the French engineering group Matra in co-operation with Simca. Marketed as the Matra-Simca Bagheera until its final year of production, when its designation was changed to the Talbot-Matra Bagheera following Chrysler Europe's demise and subsequent takeover by PSA. Chrysler-Simca's planners also wanted a car with more than just two seats. Guédon agreed, but he was also not satisfied with the 2+2 arrangement used in the M530, feeling that the rear seats were too small to be really useful. The solution came to him on a lengthy trip he took in a Ford Taunus station wagon with two colleagues. The back of the car was so full that the travellers sat three across in the front of the car. The Bagheera was unveiled to the press at an event held at Lake Annecy on April 14th 1973. The public release of the car took place at the 1973 24 Heures du Mans. At the same time Simca had arranged to have 500 yellow Bagheeras available at their dealers across France. Towards the end of 1973, production levels had reached 65 cars per day.First registered on 3rd December 1982, this original and rare right hand drive conversion, carried out by Walchry Motors of Walton-on-Thames (official Peugeot Talbot dealers), is one of only 57 cars that were built by Walchry, and this example is believed to be one of only four remaining. Subject to a complete restoration and rebuild from 2014-2020, the car was completely stripped, the chassis fully plated, welded and coated. The composite bodywork has been repainted to a very high standard and mechanical components have been restored or replaced as necessary. The interior has been retrimmed to an equally high standard in black leather, with a black suede headlining. This has left the structure of the car as better than new and fully protected against the elements with full chassis rust proofing. The restoration has been finished off with bespoke Minilite-style alloy wheels. The history file boasts detailed photos of the restoration and upon purchase an extensive spares package is also available including the original alloy wheels and many body panels with collection near London. the odometer is in kms reading 98,363 which equates to just 60,120 miles.The standard electric windows have been enhanced with the addition of remote central locking and immobiliser. The engine has been upgraded to a more modern and reliable Peugeot EW12 2.2 unit, effectively a modern version of the 2.2 engine fitted to the Bagheera's successor, the Murena. Whilst in need of some mechanical fettling to the running and gear change to finish, the car now has a modern level of performance to suit the considerable style offered by this rare and beautiful three-seater. Registered as historic with the DVLA, so MoT and tax exempt, this three-seater is rarer than the Mclaren F1 so very collectable, rare and certainly a conversation starter.Guide Price £12,000-£17,000Spares parts available as follows which can be collected from London post sale;Front and rear bumpersBoth doorsRear glass, both sides,Rear light lensesUndertraysFuel tankRare original wheelsOriginal steering wheelVarious other bits, mostly exterior items

1990 Maserati Karif Transmission: manualMileage:39699The Karif or Tipo AM339 is a luxury coupé produced by Maserati between 1988 and 1991. Designed to mix luxury with sporty looks and agile handling, the Karif was announced with a limited production run of 255 examples. This is exactly what modern manufacturers do now and with great success, however only 221 Karif's were sold with late cars being sold long after this build date. Built on the same shortened chassis as the Zagato-bodied Maserati Spyder, they added a fixed notchback roof and used a more powerful iteration of their 'Bi-turbo engine', a 2.9 litre V6, giving around 260bhp. Reviewed in the motoring press at the time as having 'sawn off looks, shotgun performance'.This is a rather special example, we are informed it was originally built for the Managing Director of Maserati in the UK, but the company went into receivership in 1990 and the car was never delivered. The car is therefore painted in Dark Aquamarine, which is understood to be a unique colour, the other Karif's were all in either black, red or white. Our vendor has owned several Karif's, including owning this example on two separate occasions. The car presents in excellent condition, commensurate with its low mileage. The car comes with a good history detailing various works over the years, and has spent recent years in dry storage, only covering very minimal mileage during our vendors current ownership. The Maserati Karif is an extremely rare car already, but the opportunity to own one of just 25 right hand drive examples, in a unique colour is something which should not be missed.

A WWI First World War period (1915 onwards) Nurse / Nursing member's ditty or autograph book. Noted to inner page as belonging to one ' F.K Stroud'. The autograph book filled with various poems, some illustrations, good wishes, thank you's, signatures of various 'patients' and fellow servicemen with other such entries. Appears to be have been serving within King George Hospital, 1915. At the outbreak of WW1 the War Office commandeered the newly built 5-storey warehouse for the H.M. Stationery Office in Stamford Street and Cornwall Road for use as a Red Cross military hospital. Within a fortnight, by December 1914, all 1650 beds had been subscribed for - at a cost of £25 per bed - thus raising £41,250. Queen Alexandra, the mother of King George V, had provided the first one. Reputedly the largest hospital in the United Kingdom, the King George Hospital finally opened at the end of May 1915 (labour disputes and strikes had delayed its opening). The first convoys of wounded men were brought by boat train to Waterloo station nearby (tunnels built as an integral part of the warehouse connected the building to the station so as to facilitate movement of supplies, and these enabled badly wounded men to be conveyed to the Hospital out of sight of the public). Some 200 men a day were admitted over three days to the two uppermost ward floors, whilst carpentry work continued on the lower floors. The Hospital's medical and surgical staff comprised 149 clinicians, both resident and visiting (the Hospital was criticised in the medical press for having such a high number of medical staff members at a time of shortage of doctors to serve in the Army - women doctors were not eligible to apply for a post at the Hospital). Nursing staff consisted of a Matron, 3 Principal Sisters, 10 Senior Sisters, 37 Sisters, 228 Staff Nurses and 80 female orderlies (members of Voluntary Aid Detachments), as well as male orderlies. One of the Principal Sisters acted as Assistant Matron, one as Home Sister, and the third as the Housekeeping Sister for the medical and nursing staff. The ten Senior Sisters mostly belonged to the military service or had military experience, as it would have been impossible to run such a large hospital on military lines with an entirely civilian nursing staff. Each Senior Sister was in charge of a floor (five by day and five by night), each responsible for supervision of the wards and cleanliness of the corridors on her floor. The first floor was for medical cases and the other four for surgical ones. Each floor - the majority contained 324 beds - extended over an acre and a half (it was said that eight and a half acres of green linoleum had been used to cover the floors). Of the five floors, four had seven Ward Sisters each, while on the fifth there were five Ward Sisters, each in charge of at least 59 beds (or in one instance, 91 beds). The wards varied in size from 3 to 65 beds.
