A extremely rare 1847 Daguerreotype of Giuseppe Mazzini (1805-1872) taken by Antoine Claudet (1797-1867), depicting Mazzini posed with his head in his hand whilst leaning on a book upon a table beside him, gazing at the viewer, a note pinned to velvet lining of case reads 'Daguerreotype of Mazzini taken by Claudet in 1847 ("Mazzini's letters to an English family" Vol 1. p.60)', photo 7 x 6cm, case 9.5 x 8.5cm. Provenance: Giuseppe Mazzini was an Italian politician, journalist, and activist for the unification of Italy (Risorgimento) and spearhead of the Italian revolutionary movement. His efforts helped bring about the independent and unified Italy in place of the several separate states, many dominated by foreign powers, that existed until the 19th century. The photographer of this portrait, Antoine Claudet, became one of England's first commercial photographers using the daguerreotype process for portraiture, improving the sensitising process by using chlorine (instead of bromine) in addition to iodine, thus gaining greater rapidity of action. In addition to this, he also invented the red darkroom safelight, and photographed significant figures such as Michael Faraday and Charles Babbage. His daguerreotype of Hemi Pomara, in the National Library of Australia, is the oldest known photograph of any Māori person. This item belongs to the Estate of the late William Lloyd George, 3rd Viscount Tenby (1927-2023), the grandson of David Lloyd George, 1st Earl of Dwyfor (1863-1945) the British Prime Minister from 1916 to 1922 during WWI, who was known to be influenced by Giuseppe Mazzini. Condition Report:
c.1980 Bultaco 350cc Sherpa TrialsRegistration no. UnregisteredFrame no. JB-19905458Engine no. JM-19905458There had been outright victories by lightweights in major events before, but it was the arrival of the Bultaco Sherpa in the mid-1960s that drove the final nail into the coffin of the heavyweight four-strokes in national and international trials. Bultaco's meteoric rise to supremacy would surely have taken much longer had the Spanish manufacturer not had the foresight to recruit the world's greatest trials rider, Sammy Miller, to spearhead development. Bultaco already possessed enormous experience of building competition two-strokes for road racing and moto-cross, and a 250cc single-cylinder 'stroker' was the natural choice for the new Sherpa trials model that made its debut at Earls Court in the autumn of 1964. Little is known about this Sherpa, which appears to have seen minimal use in recent years and is sold strictly as seen, its engine turns over. A good opportunity for a classic off-road collector or 'twin-shock' trials competitor to revive. Offered without documents.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Saturday 12 October starting at 2pm GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
