Original binding relaid.Saltash was a ‘’Rotten Borough’’ in Cornwall, which returned two members of parliament to the House of Commons in the English and later British parliament from 1552 to 1832 When it was abolished by the Great Reform Act. Like most of the Cornish boroughs enfranchised or re-enfranchised during the tudor period, it wad a rotten borough from the start. Saltast was a Burgage Borough, meaning that the right to vote rested with the tenants of certain specified properties. For a long period in the 18th century there was a contest for control of the borough between the Government and the Buller family of Morval (some 14 miles away). Depending partly on legal uncertainities over the precise number and identity of the burgage properties, to which vote were attached. In the 1760’s it was considered an entirely secure Admiralty Borough, where the naval influence could sway all the voters, but by 1831 the Bullers owned all the tenancies and considered them the patrons.

He was also a society, portrait and catwalk photographer for Ritz Newspaper, Avant Garde Magazine, Root, Fashion Weekly & POL and freelanced for daily newspapers during this time. In 1985 Robert returned to Australia and continued his work with Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, Mode & Elle and the Sunday Telegraph, Sydney.Robert Rosen is one of Australia's foremost social photographers and an astute observer of Sydney and London society. He has covered social events for the past 30 years and through his lens brings us tantalizing shots of global celebrities. These are not the stiff poses and uncomfortable smiles captured by most social photographers. It is clear Rosen's subjects are willing participants, resulting in images that exude warmth and wit. This fascinating series of Polaroid photographs records the glamour, the personalities, the drama and the fun of London, Paris and Sydney social events. The images are also important social documents, recording key personalities among the world's social set‚ a mix of actors, rockstars, stage and screen stars and creatives. A visual history of his work appears in his latest book Glitterati. David Bowie Polaroid, London, 1981.'This polaroid was taken at a party at Regine's nightclub on top of a building in Kensington London. I spotted Bowie in the garden and nervously went up to him and asked if I could take his photo and do a Polaroid of him. He agreed but wanted us to go somewhere a little more secluded. I took the Polaroid and all the while I'm thinking, he's going to remember me as the photographer who'd taken his photo at the Blitz Club without his permission about six months before. He was asking me questions about my attire, especially the Andrew Logan mirror bowtie I was wearing. He then said ' Ahh, Robert Rosen with the looking glass bowtie.' I smiled and showed him the Polaroid that by now had fully developed. But it had my fingerprints across the top of it as I'd been nervously holding it too hard whilst talking to David. I suggested we take another one, but he said 'No I like it, it's art' and he signed it.'- Robert RosenThe Charlie Watts Polaroid is the only unsigned photograph in the collection. When Rosen asked Watts to sign it, his excuse for not doing so was because John Lennon had passed away that day.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

An Important Collection of 18 Papers documenting The History of DNA, An important collection of 18 papers documenting one of the most important scientific milestones of the twentieth century, recording the discovery of the molecular structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), the early research that lead to its discovery as well as later papers on the DNA, the main component of chromosomes and the material that transfers genetic characteristics in all life forms. From ‘One Hundred Books Famous in Medicine, p. 362’, “Forty years after Watson and Crick's discovery, so much of the basic understanding of medicine and disease has advanced to the molecular level that their paper may be considered the most significant single contribution to biology and medicine in the twentieth century”. The double helix describing the molecular structure of DNA has not only reshaped biology, it has become a cultural icon, represented in sculpture, visual art, jewellery, and toys. In 1962, Watson, Crick, and Wilkins shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine "for their discoveries concerning the molecular structure of nucleic acids and its significance for information transfer in living material." By the early 1950s DNA had become one of the most important questions in biology. Maurice Wilkins of King's College London and his colleague Rosalind Franklin were both working on DNA, with Franklin producing X-ray diffraction images of its structure. Wilkins also introduced his friend Francis Crick to the subject, and Crick and his partner James Watson began their own investigation at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, focusing on building molecular models. After one failed attempt in which they postulated a triple-helix structure, they were banned by the Cavendish from spending any additional time on the subject. But a year later, after seeing new X-ray diffraction images taken by Franklin (notably the famous 'Photo 51'), they resumed their work and soon announced that not only had they discovered the double-helix structure of DNA, but even more importantly, that "the specific pairing we have postulated immediately suggests a possible copying mechanism for the genetic material."1. 1952 - Letters To The Editor: Evidence for the Pauling-Cory α-Helix in Synthetic Polypeptides, W.
