JAMES BOND, ‘THE SPY WHO LOVED ME’, 1977 – PHOTOGRAPHAlarge black and white portrait photograph of Lewis Gilbert on the set of TheSpy Who Loved Me, uncredited but taken by Martin Godwin from the GuardianPicture Desk [see Lot 512] - 29.2 x 36.8 cm. The famous set Gilbert is pictured on was known as the “Jonah Set” built specifically for The Spy Who Loved Me to house Ken Adam’s astonishing design for the interior of the villain, Karl Stromberg’s, super tanker the Liparus.  It was the largest soundstage and studio water tank in the world. Adam’s shimmering set contained three five-eighths-scale nuclear attack submarines, seen behind Gilbert in the photograph; also, an armoured control room, catwalks, a monorail, assembly and weapons rooms. $1 million dollars of the film’s $13.5 million budget was spent on building this set which became one of the most celebrated motion picture interiors of all time.Sold Without CopyrightConditionReport: Some light rubbing to edges and corners,crease to lower left corner appox. 14 cm. long; two smaller creases to topedge; small tear to lower edge approx.. 1 cm. long; overall good. Footnote: The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), the tenth in the Eon Productions official 007series, initiated a number of records for the James Bond franchise. It wasCubby Broccoli’s first solo 007 venture without co-producer Harry Saltzman, andhe was determined that it should become the biggest and best Bond yet.  From the outset, the film’s path to successwas beset with numerous difficulties and the screenplay itself went throughmore adaptations and revisions than any production during the 40-year historyof 007 on screen. Problems began with Ian Fleming’s source material for thefilm’s title. Like the movie, it was Fleming’s tenth Bond novel in order,however it represented a departure from Fleming’s usual 007 format in that itis told from the viewpoint of a young Englishwoman who only meets the famousspy in the last few chapters of the book. For this reason, Fleming never wantedthis book to be sold as a film project. His estate, however, gave Broccolipermission to use the novel’s title only. The book and film do also share onesignificant common element – Jaws,  whois loosely based on Fleming’s villain, `Horror’, who had steel-capped teeth.Nevertheless, the screenplay for The Spy Who Loved Me is considered tobe the first Bond film whose story is completely original. After a visit toRussia, Broccoli devised a plot for a new story which suited the film’s title and focused on a beautifulRussian agent who falls in love with James Bond.  It is said that twelve different screenwriters worked on fifteen separate drafts for the screenplay over a period of three years, in one of the most fiendishly complicated film pre-production processes in Eon’s history. Considering the quantity of different variants of the screenplay here in Lewis Gilbert’s personal film script archive, it appears that just over half of the fifteen screenplay versions are represented between lots 13-18.Looking through the different variations of treatments and screenplays for The Spy Who Loved Me, a large proportion of which are represented in this collection, in the words of film historian Steven Jay Rubin they : “…offer a textbook look at script development…the material is priceless, since it allows the reader to see how typical Bondian situations are workshopped…” Literature:RUBIN, Steven Jay Spy Who Loved Me Script Wars in The James Bond Movie Encyclopaedia, Chicago Review Press Incorp.

Attributed to Michael Pacher (German, circa 1435-1498): A carved wood and polychrome and parcel gilt decorated figure of a male saint, possibly St JohnSouth German or Tyrolean, late 15th centurythe figure with rope tied wavy shoulder length fair hair looking slightly to sinister, clad in a draped and folded cloak held about his body, his left hand clutching the upheld hem, raised on a later stained wood rectangular base, the figure, 78cm high, the later base 5cm high Footnotes:ProvenanceWith Reinhold Hofstätter, ViennaThe sculptor, architect and painter Michael Pacher was active during the later part of the 15th century. Cited as perhaps one of the earliest artists to introduce the Renaissance style to a German clientele, he was famous for producing elaborate painted and sculpted works in both wood and stone showing a uniquely personal side incorporating elements of the Italian Renaissance and the Northern Gothic.Producing works including painted structures for altarpieces on an unparalleled scale in North European, his finest work is perhaps the St Wolfgang Altarpiece (1471-1481) in Salzkammergut which is considered to be one of the most outstanding examples of a carved and painted altar shrine illustrating scenes from the life of Christ and the Virgin Mary. Pacher's other great work, the Altarpiece of the Church Fathers was created in 1483 for Neustift Monastery and this also combined painting and sculpture to produce a unique composition. Influenced primarily by North Italian art, Pacher's work however shares characteristics with the work of the Italian artist Andrea Mantegna whilst also reflecting the heritage and tradition of a number of South German carvers.The plump facial features of the present lot with his upturned nose, distinctive waving to the hair and crinkled folds of the drapery compare closely to figures in Pacher's St Wolfgang Altarpiece, see T. Müller, Gotik in Tirol, Bozen, 1976, figs. 122-124 and pl.

MINIATURE FURNITURE - A carved walnut armchairpossibly late 17th/early 18th century in the Charles II styleThe frames carved with scrolled acanthus foliage and flowers, the crest rail and fore rail each carved with a Royal crown, with spiral twist-turned stiles, conforming arm terminals and foliate wrapped scrolled arm supports, on ring turned block-and-baluster legs, stamped several times: 'T.I.', 21cm wide x 23cm deep x 50cm high, (8in wide x 9in deep x 19 1/2in high)Footnotes:The offered lot has featured twice on the renowned BBC television program, 'Antiques Roadshow'. The present chair was first inspected on 15 June 1994 and then also subsequently appeared for a second time on 9 July 2019. Copies of this 'Antiques Roadshow' paperwork are available for inspection upon request. Although chairs of this scale have often been cited erroneously as 'apprentice pieces', the existence of two beech armchairs of this scale in The V&A Museum collection, with their accompanying late 18th century wooden dolls, makes the case for these 'miniature chairs' being intended for use as 'toys' all the more likely. The V&A examples (T.846Y-1974 and T.846V-1974) which accompany the celebrated Lord and Lady Clapham dolls (circa 1690-1700) follow the pattern of full sized chairs of the period. The chairs would almost certainly have been made by a professional chair maker and the construction techniques mirror those found on full sized examples from the period. The scarcity of surviving late 17th century dolls, although many were produced, may well reflect the few surviving miniature chairs. Other surviving period miniature chairs, including one of the 'Clapham' chairs are in poor condition implying the likelihood of them having been played with and hence the few surviving examples.The Lord and Lady Clapham dolls are thought to have belonged to the Cockerell family who were descendants of Samuel Pepys. Pepys' nephew John Jackson married a Cockerell and the dolls were named 'Lord' and 'Lady' of the family home in Clapham. The remarkable condition of the Clapham dolls suggests that in this instance they may have been admired by adults rather than being played with by children and were viewed more as decoration for the home.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Registration No: OVU 200Chassis No: B73WGMOT: ExemptSupplied new to a successful button maker and inherited by successive generations of his familyHighly original throughout with a delightful, timewarp interiorRecently recommissioned following nine years' inactivity and running nicelyFirst registered in Manchester and resident in the surrounding areas ever since An obvious evolution of its MKVI predecessor, the Bentley R-Type was introduced at the 1952 Earls Court Motor Show. Subtly reworked from the previous model by in-house stylist John Blatchley, it boasted a notably larger boot and reprofiled rear wings. Switching from riveted to welded frame construction at chassis B349TO, the newcomer featured independent coil-and-wishbone front suspension, a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle and servo-assisted four-wheel drum brakes (hydraulic front / rod rear). Powered by a 'big bore' 4566cc straight-six inlet-over-exhaust engine allied to either four-speed manual or automatic transmission, the R-type was a surprisingly strong performer, able to reach more than 100mph. Praised by the contemporary motoring press for its high-speed handling and well-appointed interior, the model remained in production until 1955 by which time some 2,017 Standard Steel Saloons are thought to have been made.First issued with the Manchester registration number ‘OVU 200’ on April 22nd 1954, chassis B73WG has been in single family custodianship from new. Literally bought for buttons, the first owner was a large-scale manufacturer of clothing fasteners, the Bentley is highly original with a particularly delightful interior. The rich Red leather and polished wood veneers still reek of quality. The gloss Black paintwork has a deep shine but there are some imperfections to the bodywork which are to be expected of an unmolested but still sixty-seven year old car. Recently recommissioned following almost a decade of dry storage, the R-Type started readily upon inspection and is said to ‘drive very well’. A decidedly rare opportunity to acquire a one family owned from new Bentley. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, sundry paperwork and fresh MOT certificate.

WWII. German Prototype Missile Designs, March 1945, contemporary typescript report in German on the prototype designs for the Fire Lily, or Orange Lily (Feuerlilie) F55 surface-to-air missile (Flakrakete), in development at the Hermann Goering Research Institute, near Braunschweig (Brunswick) in central Germany, consisting of 8 single-sided typescript leaves containing a general description and overview, numbered 1-8, plus 5 leaves of single-sided typescript describing the means of jet propulsion (Antrieb) with minor pencil annotations (with an additional copy of the first four leaves on propulsion, heavily corrected and augmented in German by a contemporary hand in pencil), an additional leaf entitled Zusammenstellung der Forderlichen Teile fur ein Gerät SG20 (Compilation of required parts for a SG20 device), 5 handwritten tables of data on the various prototypes (pages numbered 1-4 and 4a), and Roneo copies of 6 folding technical drawings (of the M-62, SC50, M62-1, M62-2, M61-1, and M62, dated 28.2.45, 9.3.45, 8.3.45, 6.3.45, 6.3.45, 28.2.45 respectively), minor fraying to extreme margins of one or two leaves, without loss, hole-punched to left margins, text leaves 30 x 20.5 cm or slightly smaller, technical drawings measuring 29 x 85 cms or smaller, all now contained in modern soft plastic binderQty: (1)Footnote: Provenance: Private collection, Wiltshire. This typewritten and photocopied document describes secret research carried out at the Hermann Goering Institute, also known as the Aeronautical Research Insitute, near Brunswick (or Braunschweig), in the early months of 1945. The research institute facilities consisted of wind tunnels to test scale models and focused on issues such as directing missiles and identifying the best means of propulsion. The site was carefully camouflaged and never bombed directly; by the end of the war about 1500 people were working there, including around 150 scientists. The American army occupied this site on the 11th of April 1945, and, contrary to prior orders from Berlin to destroy all documentation, thousands of pages of aeronautical research were handed over to the Allies. In July 1945 the Americans transferred the site to the British, who questioned the remaining scientists and brought some of the remaining apparatus back into use under the control of the Ministry of Aircraft Production. The author of the initial portion of the document is not given, but it was very likely composed during the period of Allied control sometime in 1945. The six technical drawings are dated February and March 1945 and were thus created during the war itself. The information provided is highly technical and concerned principally with questions of propulsion. Of the seven prototypes suggested, A1 was driven by powder (perhaps saltpetre or ammonium nitrate), and A2-7 by a mixture of liquid oxygen and alcohol, subsequent to a powder ignition. A scale model was tested in the wind tunnel, and then A1 and A2 prototypes were actually tested, although A2, the first use of complex fuel, stalled immediately due to instability. A3 was never tested due to war circumstances. Feuerlilie, or 'Orange Lily', a two-stage supersonic surface-to-air missile, never came into production. It would have been a weapon of great strategic importance, designed for easy mass production, and planned to reach a height of 20km with a range of 50km, and a payload of 150kg of explosives. Its operation was simple, under the radio control of an observer. The mass production of such a weapon would have made it possible to shoot down Flying Fortresses and Lancasters and could have transformed the balance of power in the sky over Germany. As a defensive weapon, Orange Lily was given less attention by Goering (and the Third Reich leadership in general), than aggressive weapons such as the V1 and V2, which were more in tune with Nazi ideology. This document offers a tantalizing glimpse of a weapon whose prompt and effective development might well have changed the course of the war. We are grateful to E. D. R. Harrison, former lecturer in Modern History at the University of Salford for his important contribution to this catalogue note.
