Sylvanus, Bernardus Prima Europae Tabula. [Venice, 1511]. Map on two engraved sheets, printed in red and black, margins worn and repaired with some loss of marginal text and scale at base, 42 by 50cm., world map on verso, some discolouration along inner edge of maps Note: From "Claudi Ptholemaei Alexandrini liber geographicae cum tabulis..." [Colophon] "Venetus per Jacobum Pentium... MDXI". The earliest Venetian edition of Ptolemy is of significance because of the innovative approach of its editor, Bernard Sylvanus of Eboli, who extensively re-drew some of the Ptolemaic maps according to more up-to-date information. The map of the British Isles shows, for the first time, a more correct north-south orientation, Scotland and Ireland become recognisable and the outlines of the south coast of England and Cornwall are much improved.

Alfred Wallis (1855-1942) Harbour Approaches signed in pencil bottom right A.WALLIS oil on card 18.5 x 29.5cm, unframed. Provenance: Ben Nicholson. Gifted to the vendor by Ben Nicholson in 1958; the present owner was a close personal friend of Ben and Felicitas Nicholson. Alfred Wallis was a Cornish fisherman and artist. In the early 1870s he became a mariner in the Merchant Service. He married in 1876, when he was 20 and his wife 41, and became step father to her five children. The family moved to St Ives in 1890 where he established himself as `Wallis, Alfred. Marine Stores Dealer`. Following his wife`s death in 1922 Wallis took-up painting, as he later told Jim Ede `for company`. His paintings are a fine example of naive art; perspective is ignored and an objects scale is often based on its relative importance, and this gives his paintings a map-like quality. Wallis painted his seascapes from memory in large part because the world of sail, which he knew, was in transition and being replaced by steamships. As he said, his subjects were "what use to bee out of my memery what we may never see again". Having little money Wallis improvised with materials, mostly painting on cardboard ripped from packing boxes and using a limited palette of paint bought from ship`s chandlers. In 1928 Ben Nicholson and Kitt Wood came to St Ives where they were delighted to discover Wallis and celebrated his direct approach to image making. Wallis was propelled into the circle of some of the most progressive artists working in Britain in the 1930s.
