A group of drawings by Bonomi from this collection was sold in these rooms 1 June 2000 lots 80-87. Arthur Chichester Baron Fisherwick later 1st Marquess of Donegal (1739-1799) bought the Tudor manor house of Fisherwick and rebuilt it as a grand Palladian mansion. Bonomi was engaged in 1787 and designed a summer house for the Park as well as furniture and this ceiling for the principal drawing room of the house. The design provides alternatives for the cornice frieze and borders surrounding the three painted panels. The project was a collaboration between Bonomi and his friend J.F.Rigaud whose paintings with its centrepiece of Apollo in his Chariot completed the ceiling. The stucco work was by Joseph Rose and the colouring and gilding by Pastorini and Borgnis. The house was demolished 1814-1816. The present drawing is illustrated in Peter Meadows Joseph Bonomi Architect 1739-1808 An Exhibition of Drawings from Private Collections London RIBA 1988 Fig.19.

Scott`s Expedition to the South Pole 1910-13 An important Collection of Documents and artefacts relating to the Terra Nova and Robert Falcon Scott`s Final Expedition to Conquer the South Pole. The British Antarctic Expedition of 1910-13 led by Robert Falcon Scott aimed to be the first group to reach the South Pole. The party travelled on board the supply ship Terra Nova. The items offered here were obtained by direct descent from Leading Stoker R.N. Edward Archibald McKenzie and include items given to him when he lectured after returning from the Expedition. The Expedition comprised seven officers, including the Captain of the Terra Nova, Edward R. G. R. Evans, twelve scientists and fourteen men; with an additional ship`s complement of thirty two including McKenzie, making sixty five in total. After returning from the Antarctic McKenzie was a Policeman for 25 years. In the Great War he served briefly in the Grenadier Guards before transferring to the Navy. He qualified for the Antarctic Medal and the British War Medal. He was interested in Amateur Dramatics and was a good musician. He was a very competent model maker producing the scale model of the Terra Nova which has been on display at the Science Museum. The 1/42nd scale model was used by the makers of the film `Scott of the Antarctic` in 1948. One of the most poignant items is the diary or log written by McKenzie which includes an entry for February 4th 1911 when they encountered the Norwegian ship Fram in McMurdo Sound and berthed three yards to the south…. A later entry relates the return of the Terra Nova to McMurdo sound to receive the news of the death of the final party led by Scott. Scott`s heroic failure has passed into legend as he reached the Pole only to discover that the Norwegian team led by Roald Amundsen had preceded him by 33 days. Among items sold are McKenzie`s personal log; a cruet set and milk jug from the Terra Nova; letters and a loose postage stamp used by the expedition; signed and dedicated photographs by Herbert George Ponting, FRGS (1870-1935); Terra Nova Naval hat bands; a postcard signed by the Captain of the Terra Nova to McKenzie; a dedicated copy of Ponting`s seminal work; two naïve but remarkable water colours of the scene at McMurdo sound painted on the voyage; an autograph album started at the founding of the Antarctic Club in 1929 containing the names of many Antarctic Explorers including some twenty members of the fatal expedition. The Terra Nova sailed from Cardiff on the 15th July 1910 with Scott joining the ship in South Africa. On reaching Melbourne Scott left the ship to raise funds. Waiting for Scott was a telegram informing him that he was in a race with the Norwegians. Arriving off Ross Island on 4 January 1911, the Terra Nova proceeded to McMurdo Sound, where both Discovery and Nimrod had previously landed. The rest of the story has passed into folklore. The South Pole, Scott`s Antarctic Expedition 1910-13, The Terra Nova, Edward A. McKenzie Collection, an attractive hand carved hard wood picture of the Terra Nova with to left the hand carved device of the British Antarctic Expedition 22"x13", with written to back E.A.McKenzie British Antarctic Expedition 1910-13, carved by McKenzie, minor faults

Mexico -- Arrowsmith, Aaron A new map of Mexico and adjacent provinces compiled from original documents. London: A. Arrowsmith, 1810. Large engraved map on 4 sheets, each sheet 663 x 830mm., joined as two, hand-coloured in outlineNote: A rare and important map of Texas and the southwest. Arrowsmith`s map was bitterly criticized by Baron Alexander von Humboldt as a blatant plagiarism of his own maps. This was the first large-scale map to depict the important discoveries of Pike and Humboldt in the Southwest, and it became the most influential and widely copied map of the region in the era. . By combining the best parts of Humboldt`s and Pike`s maps and avoiding their errors, and by adding his own new information, Arrowsmith contributed a significantly improved depiction of the region.
