RICHARD COCKLE LUCAS (BRITISH 1800-1883) WAX BUST OF A GENTLEMAN signed R.C. LUCAS, with an indistinct inscription, raised on a turned and ebonised pedestal and plinth base (Bust 17cm high; overall 40cm) Footnote: Provenance: The Earls of Crawford and Balcarres, Balcarres House, Fife, Scotland Literature : Gunnis, Rupert Forbes A Biographical Dictionary of sculptors in Britain 1660 -1851 , Odhams Press 1953. Note: Born in Winchester, Hampshire, Richard Cockle Lucas discovered his talent as sculptor at the age of twelve, when he was tasked with carving knife handles as an apprentice to his uncle, a cutler. After joining the Royal Academy in 1828, Lucas quickly gained prominence as a sculptor of portraits and medallions, predominantly in wax, marble and ivory. However, he is also noted for his large-scale models of the Elgin Marbles, acquired by the British Museum and much admired today. An eccentric character, Lucas was posthumously placed at the centre of controversy after his son claimed that the Bust of Flora , by Leonardo da Vinci according to the Kaiser Friedrich Museum in Berlin, was in fact by the hand of his father. Lucas detailed how his father conducted such work, by building up layers of wax from old candle ends, before stuffing the hollow centre with fabric rags and debris to stabilise it. Much dubiety still exists, although it is generally thought that Lucas worked on the piece at some stage to restore it, a testament to his skill and reputation as one of the leading British sculptors of the nineteenth century.

Found Melton Mowbray, Lincolnshire, UK; accompanied by a signed copy of British Artefacts, Volume 1 - Early Anglo-Saxon, where it is published on page 38. Brett Hammond wrote the following about English Radiate-Headed Brooches in his book published in 2009: 'Radiate-headed bow brooches are found in the south-east of England, mainly in Kent; they were originally a Gothic fashion copied by the Lombards and Franks, and then transferred to the court at Canterbury. In England, the brooches appear to date from c.525 to c.600. They occur with high-status female burials. There are occassional finds in England of Gothic bow brooches with lozenge-shaped feet, a type which springs from the same background design tradition but this does not appear to have been a common English design, and the finds were probably imported.' Very fine condition. A rare opportunity to acquire a published English Saxon brooch of a rare type.

Viz photocopy 'dummy' No 1 (1984) with four signed letters. Commissioned from Chris Donald in 1984 this prototype 'No 1' was sent to a major publisher who wanted to publish Viz. According to one of the letters signed by Chris Donald they went all 'scared-y-cat' wanting to tone it down and add their own content. Chris refused and this 24 pg photocopy dummy No 1 remained unpublished. A further two signed letters confirm Chris Donald's deal with Virgin Books 'small scale compared to the other rumpus' for Viz to be published every two months. The letters were all addressed to Mick Kidd of Biff Productions whose Cathedrals of Tomorrow strip was central to the dummy No 1. 5 items in total
