Rare first and only edition of this curious Blake item. Gilchrist, in his 'Life of Blake' published in 1863, referred to the volume as 'that singular and now very scarce book'. William Blake painted a miniature in tempera of his vision of the ghost of a flea (1819-20, Tate, London). John Varley records how Blake came to depict the strange apparition (pp.54/55): 'This spirit visited his imagination in such a figure as he never anticipated in an insect. As I was anxious to make the most correct investigation in my power, of the truth of these visions, on hearing of this spiritual apparition of a Flea, I asked him if he could draw for me the resemblance of what he saw: he instantly said, "I see him now before me." I therefore gave him paper and a pencil, with which he drew the portrait... I felt convinced by his mode of proceeding, that he had a real image before him, for he left off, and began on another part of the paper, to make a separate drawing of the mouth of the Flea, which the spirit having opened, he was prevented from proceeding with the first sketch, till he had closed it. During the time occupied in completing the drawing, the Flea told him that all fleas were inhabited by the souls of such men, as were by nature blood-thirsty to excess...' (1)

Chatelain (Jean Baptiste Claude). [Fifty Views of Villages &c. Drawn by the celebrated M. Chatelaine, from the most agreeable Prospects near London], published Robert Sayer, circa 1775, lacking title, fifty uncoloured engraved views, a few leaves trimmed within lower platemark, stab sewn to inner margin, contemporary blue paper wrappers, neatly rebacked paper spine, binding measures 95 x 160 mm Rare. The work consists of small views of churches and villages that surrounded early Georgian London; these include, among others, Chelsea, Battersea, Highgate, Hampstead, Barnes, Kew, and St Pancras. The views were the work of the topographical draughtsman Jean Chatelain (1710-1758), and engraved by James Roberts (1725-1799), most probably Henry's brother. The set was first published by Henry Roberts in around 1750 under the title: 'Fifty small original, and elegant views of the most splendid churches, villages, rural prospects. and masterly pieces of architecture, adjacent to London'. The present example can be dated to around 1775 as eight of the views bear the imprint of Robert Sayer. Sayer and his business partner John Bennett had acquired the plates sometime before 1775, as they appear in their sales catalogue of that year under the title: 'Fifty Views of Villages, &c. from the most agreeable Prospects near London,drawn by the celebrated M. Chatelain, may be had in the following Numbers, for the Amusement of Youth in drawing after Nature. Priced 6d. each'. The catalogue divides the views into eight numbered sections: the first three containing views of villages to the south and west; numbers 4 and 5 villages to the west and north; 6 and 7 north and east; and 8 the south; with the view at the beginning of each section bearing the imprint of Robert Sayer. We are only able to trace four complete examples, which bear the Sayer imprint: The New York Historical Society; the Folger Shakespeare Library; and the Yale Institute of British Art. The present example, without the title page - which would appear to never have been bound in with the present set -conforms to the example in the British Library; both the Folger, and N.Y.H.S. example bear a printed title page; with the Yale example bearing a title in manuscript.

A 1985 Peugeot 205 GTi 1.6, registration number B30 XWL, black. Launched in 1983, Peugeot's 205 GTi has become one of, if not the definitive 80s hot hatchback. What Car declared it car of the year in 1983 and Car Magazine declared it the car of the decade in 1990. This exceedingly original, low mileage and unmolested example was originally supplied by Bristol Street Motors (Bambury) Ltd to Mrs S Rogers from St Albans, Hertfordshire for £6,320 (original receipt on file). The Peugeot is finished in possibly the best colour combination of black with a half black and grey cloth interior with contrasting red carpets. With all matching numbers, the 205 comes to auction with a detailed history file outlining expenditure and its time on the Isle of Man with it's second owner, sales brochures, original bill of sale, expired MOTs and receipts. This wonderful original GTi has been in its third and current ownership since 2013, forming part of a private collection. The car is now regretfully for sale due to the vendor's impending emigration to New Zealand. With only 30,000 miles on the clock and a detailed history this extremely original GTi must now offer a rare opportunity to purchase an iconic hot hatch and what is now one of the hottest rising value cars in today's market.

A 1972 Alfa Romeo 1300 GT Junior (105 Series), registration number JDS 969K, yellow. First registered in March 1972, this example is a rare, original right hand drive car. It has spent all of its life in a dry, hot climate until being repatriated to these shores a few years ago. Unfortunately the paint had suffered from fade due to the hot climate, and the body was completely stripped to parts, including engine and gearbox and then the car was fully repainted to a high standard in its original colour. The vendor describes the 1300cc twin cam engine as free revving and having very lively performance, together with a five speed gearbox. The Alfa is offered for auction with a history file including the original handbook and service book. V5C, MOT to January 2017 See illustrations

The original paintwork has faded in various places (especially the bonnet). The bodywork would appear generally sound commensurate with the low mileage. The Rover SDI Vanden Plas and Vitesse models have become very collectable in today's classic car market and this original low mileage example offers a sound car to use and improve. The Rover is offered for auction with a comprehensive history file. V5C, MOT to July 2017 See illustration

The vendor has recently restored the Mini but has retained as much originality as possible, as can be seen by the original windscreen wiper motor and correct brake and clutch Servo cylinders in the engine bay. The interior still retains its original red and grey brocade upholstered seats and internal fuel tank. The body has been rebuilt and resprayed in the original colour by Cotswold Classic Car Restoration (receipt on file for £7,200) and the woodwork has been repaired and revarnished. The finished car now presents extremely well with just the right amount of patina.
