° ° Betjeman, Sir John (1906-1984), poet laureate, writer and broadcaster; three letters to Peter Winckworth i. The Mead, Wantage; received 9 April 1954; ‘I am delighted to have the two pamphlets, but I cannot take up the Middle Class one for not being able to put down the Faculty one [A Verification of the Faculty Jurisdiction (1953)]. … I see in my mind’s eye anxious incumbents, the frightened churchwardens, the angry moustached Protestants. What a brute and a fool Lord Penzance was’. Asked [Walter] Taplin editor of the Spectator whether he wanted an article on Easter in Madrid from you. He regretfully declined. The Easter issue is already planned and most of it in type. I am so much in disgrace at Time and Tide now that I have no influence there. … Wasn’t the Honor Tracy case fun?’ii. 43 Cloth Fair, London EC1, 16 October 1957; thanks for ‘a thoroughly enjoyable evening’, with a commentary on the wines – ‘The idea of a little champagne at the beginning was cunning and good’iii. The Athenaeum, 14 March 1962; Thanks for letting us have the Mercers’ hall for the Hawksworth meeting; ‘I am sorry Ian Nairn was so embarrassingly emotional in his speech about Hawksmoor. Not the right kind of thing, I felt, for the City … the excellent hospitality of the Mercers must have enabled them to recover from the speech’In 1937 Betjeman became a devoted member of the Church of England, speaking of it as ‘the only salvation against progress and Fascists on the one side and Marxists of Bloomsbury on the other’ (Betjeman: Letters, 1.171). Betjeman and Peter Winckworth had many things in common – poetry, Anglo-Catholicism, a love of churches, good food and wine – but it is not known which if any of these brought them together. Winckworth’s publication on Faculty jurisdiction – the process by which the Church of England regulates the maintenance and improvement of church buildings – would have been of great importance to Betjeman, whose devotion to the church lay not only in his open admiration for its buildings, its liturgy, and its worshippers, but for its faith.In 1874 James Plaisted Wilde, Baron Penzance (1816–1899) succeeded to the offices of dean of the arches court of Canterbury, master of the faculties, and in 1875 official principal of the chancery court of York. The bishops discouraged recourse to his court, while the laity generally doubted the morality or practical sense of prosecuting ritualists and so converting them into martyrs.In April 1954 Honor Lilbush Wingfield Tracy (1913-1989), journalist and author, had won considerable damages from The Sunday Times, which had published her account of a Canon O’Connell’s attempt to raise funds for a parish house in Doneraile, Co. Cork. O’Connell took exception and the Sunday Times printed an apology, paying £750 to charity. Tracy in turn sued the Sunday Times for damaging her professional integrity by acting without her permission.Ian Douglas Nairn (1930-1983), architectural writer, served in the RAF until 1953, when he resigned his commission and determined to write about architecture. Like Betjeman, he wrote for the Architectural Review, and in 1962 was the first person to be invited by Nikolaus Pevsner to collaborate on The Buildings of England, producing a volume on Surrey and half of the account of Sussex. He was a trenchant critic of both architects and the planning bureaucracy, whom he considered responsible for ruining the towns and countryside of England. His long article in The Observer (13 February 1966), entitled ‘Stop the architects now’, marked a significant step in the growing challenge to the urban policies of the Modern Movement in architecture which resulted in a change in direction the following decade. Nairn's much vaunted affection for public houses combined with his connoisseurship of beer soon proved to be his nemesis, and he only published some short travel guides for the Sunday Times before collapsing into inarticulate melancholia. Nairn described himself as ‘a person who drinks a lot and can’t bear either pretensions or possessiveness’ (Nairn’s Paris, 13). ‘Difficult and intolerant he may have been’, Christopher Hurst concluded, ‘but his heart was warm. This fact shaped his whole world view—his anger was compassionate, on behalf of people and against the impersonal’ (ArchR). During his short, furious, productive career, Ian Nairn had a more beneficial effect on the face of Britain than any other architectural writer of his generation. (ODNB)John Peter Winckworth was born on 2 November 1908, youngest of the three children of Lewis Herbert Winckworth (1864-1940), solicitor, and Ruthella Theodora, elder daughter of the Revd Herbert Clementi-Smith of Holland Park Avenue, Kensington, chaplain to the Mercers’ Company. In September 1922 he entered Grants House at Westminster School (also attended by his father and three uncles) and left in July 1927.Admitted as a solicitor in October 1932, he practised in London, in 1947 with Messrs Trollope and Winckworth of 21 Old Queen Street, Westminster. Winckworth was one of the originators of the Seven Years’ Association, established at the 1933 Anglo-Catholic Congress to form ‘a youth auxiliary to the Church Union’. In 1948 he became Registrar of the Diocese of Oxford, and subsequently served as a Church Commissioner, Master of the Worshipful Company of Mercers 1961-2, a governor of St Paul’s School and Secretary of the Church Union.He joined the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve in August 1940, and was transferred to the Training Progress Section of the Air Ministry in 1941.Winckworth was author of Does Religion Cause War? (1934); Sensible Christians (1935); The Way of War: Verses (1939); A Simple Approach to Canon Law (1951); The Seal of the Confessional and the Law of Evidence (1952); A Verification of the Faculty Jurisdiction (1953); and A History of the Gresham Lectures (1966).He died at Eastbourne on 28 April 1986, and a requiem mass was held at St Matthew’s Church Westminster on 23 June.His portrait, by Richard Aylmer Frost (1905-1995), a Westminster contemporary, 1924, is among the collections of the school (GB 2014 WS-03-PIC-002/29): https://collections.westminster.org.uk/index.php/gb-2014-ws-03-pic-002-29

Bike magazine reckoned the racy-looking RD125LC was 'the kind of machine H M Government wants to warn 17-year-olds about. Moreover, it behaves in much the same all-or-nothing manner as its bigger LC sisters, albeit in a decidedly 12 horsepower fashion.' There was also a derestricted version available with all of 20bhp on tap, and in this form the diminutive Yamaha was good for nearly 85mph. Imported from Switzerland, this is the 63rd customer RD125LC supplied by Yamaha (machines with frame and engine numbers below '101' were prototypes and are thought to have been destroyed by Yamaha). This machine has been restored/rebuilt by the vendor using 'new old stock' parts wherever available, having hunted for them worldwide.

The Anthony R. East Classic Motorcycle Collection1992 Honda C90 Cub MopedRegistration no. GMN-641-D (Isle of Man)Frame no. 1449005Engine no. HA02E 1449084Introduced in 1958, Honda's classic Cub 'step-thru' moped gave millions of people the world over their first taste of two-wheeled mobility. Larger-engined versions of the original 50cc Super Cub were soon made available, the nominally 90cc C90 arriving in 1965. Better built, more powerful and more reliable than most contemporary mopeds, while endowed with handling superior to that of the small-wheeled scooter, the Cub family set new sales records for motorcycle production and continues to be immensely popular today. Tony purchased this C90 from his local Honda dealer Gordon Farley of Guildford and it was first registered in the UK as 'J921 RPE' in May 1992; and in the Isle of Man in 2003. Currently displaying a total of 832 miles on odometer, the Honda is presented in nice original condition, albeit with mirrors missing and crankcases peeling. Last taxed in March 2012, the machine is offered with an IoM Vehicle Registration Certificate and an original owner's manual. Two keys present.Footnotes:If purchased by a UK resident, this machine will be subject to a NOVA Declaration, which Bonhams will undertake at no cost to the buyer.

1985 Honda MBX80Registration no. B572 PLWFrame no. to be advisedEngine no. HC04E5012581Successor to Honda's first 50cc two-stroke sports moped, the MB50, the MBX50 was produced in restricted 'Sixteener Special' form for the UK market where it was sold alongside the almost identical MBX80. Although many 17-year-olds would have seen the 125 class as the next step up from their Sixteener Special, the rationale behind the 80s was cheaper insurance. Honda's well equipped MBX80 certainly looked the part, boasting twin front disc brakes, 12-volt electrics, rising-rate rear suspension and Comstar wheels. The 79.7cc engine produced 9.6bhp, which was good enough to propel the lightweight (225lb) MBX80 to a top speed of around 65mph. This Honda MBX80 was bought by the vendor with the intention of using it, but with other projects on the go he has not been able to find the time. The machine is presented in good original condition and comes with a V5C document.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.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The Anthony R. East Classic Motorcycle Collection1956 Triumph 650cc ThunderbirdRegistration no. 848 HMLFrame no. 79626Engine no. 6T 79626Always a step ahead of their rivals, Triumph followed up the trend-setting Speed Twin 500 of pre-war days by being first in the field with a 650cc parallel twin. Announced in September 1949, the 650 Thunderbird was Triumph's response to demands for more power emanating from American racers and British sidecarists alike. A spectacular launch stunt saw three Thunderbirds lap the Montlhery circuit at over 90mph for 500 miles, after which they each achieved a flying lap of 100mph-plus and were ridden back to the Meriden factory. When displayed at the Earls Court Show in October, the new twin featured the headlamp nacelle and fuel tank with luggage grid first seen the previous year. An interesting change to the Thunderbird for 1952 was the adoption of an SU carburettor in place of the original Amal, a specially prepared machine managing a staggering 155mpg at a steady 30mph on a factory organised economy run. Tony East purchased this Thunderbird in June 2008. An older restoration, the Triumph displays a total of 1,861 miles on the odometer and was last taxed in July 2015. Featured on the front cover of Classic Motorcycles by Roland Brown, the machine is offered with an original instruction manual and parts catalogue; SORN paperwork; expired MoT (2011); Bryan Small restoration invoice (£10,097); and old/current V5/V5C documents (please note there are typographical errors on the V5C).

1970 Honda ST70 Dax 'Monkey Bike' ProjectRegistration no. DXD 13JFrame no. ST70-1031441With the launch of the CZ100 In 1960, Honda created the class of machine known as 'Monkey Bikes', so called because of their diminutive stature. The power unit was the C100 step-thru's reliable four-stroke single, and an ultra-short wheelbase, small wheels and a vestigial fuel tank were all features of a machine which, in the case of the folding handlebar version, could be fitted into the boot of car. The vendor has owned this Dax for many years and it was just sitting 'in bits' at the back of his workshop. During 'lockdown' he decided to put it back together and return to the road. The vendor rode the Honda for a year and then the engine failed. He has now decided to sell it as a project (without the engine) for someone else to rebuild and have fun with. Offered with a V5C document.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.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1927 Harley-Davidson 61ci 'Model J' Motorcycle CombinationRegistration no. BF 9642Frame no. 27F11968Engine no. 27J12205 (see text)• Present family ownership since 2012• First registered in the UK in 2021• An older restoration• Requires recommissioning1909 marked the appearance of Harley-Davidson's first v-twin motorcycle, though it was not until the adoption of mechanically operated inlet valves in 1911 (replacing the 'atmospheric' type inherited from the single) that production really took off. Known by the sobriquet 'pocket valve', this 'F-head' (inlet-over-exhaust) engine - built in 61ci and 74ci capacities (1,000cc and 1,200cc respectively) - would remain in production for the next 20 years. The Harley single's transmission arrangements - direct drive by means of a leather belt - were continued at first on the twin, but the need to make better use of the engine's power characteristics, particularly for sidecar pulling, prompted the introduction of a two-speed rear hub for 1914, by which time chain drive and a proper clutch had been adopted. Later that same year a conventional, three-speed, sliding-gear transmission with 'step starter' was introduced on the top-of-the-range version of the twin which, with full electrical equipment, was listed from now on as the 'Model J'. Periodically revised and up-dated, the 'J' had gained a front brake, stronger fork and pumped lubrication by the time production ceased in 1929.Imported by a previous owner (date unknown), this Model J was purchased by the vendor's late relative in 2012 but not first registered in the UK until 2021. It was in its current restored condition when purchased but has been unused for many years since. We are advised that the deceased owner had the sidecar manufactured to accommodate family members. It is fitted with a brake but otherwise the sidecar's origin and specification are not known. It is not known when the machine last ran, and recommissioning to a greater or lesser extent will be required before further use (the engine turns over, with compression). Sold strictly as viewed, the machine comes with a 2012 V62 Application to Register an Imported Vehicle; a 2013 receipt for various electrical works; and a current V5C document. It should be noted that the frame and engine numbers listed suggest that the motorcycle is made up of both Model F and Model J components. Furthermore, the engine number is not an original factory stamping (per the AMCA dating letter); accordingly, prospective bidders must satisfy themselves with regard to the condition, completeness, authenticity and correctness of the machine's components prior to bidding. The machine also comes with a quantity of photocopied parts listings; a photocopied rider's handbook; and keys for the ignition and sidecar boot.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.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

An interesting change to the Thunderbird for 1952 was the adoption of an SU carburettor in place of the original Amal, a specially prepared machine managing a staggering 155mpg at a steady 30mph on a factory organised economy run. The model remained in production in fundamentally its original form, though with progressively updated cycle parts, until the arrival of the unitary construction 650 range in 1962. One of the most significant developments along the way was the introduction of a swinging arm frame for 1955, but prior to that time Triumph twins could be ordered with the optional 'sprung hub' - designed by the Speed Twin's creator Edward Turner - that offered a limited amount of rear suspension movement.This Thunderbird was purchased by the late vendor in 2014 (purchase receipt on file) where it was used occasionally for summer runs and dry stored. It should be noted that the frame number has been restamped therefore prospective bidders must satisfy themselves to the originality of this machine. Accompanying paperwork consists of the aforementioned purchase receipt, current V5C and BMS maintenance and instruction manual.Key not requiredFootnotes: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.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

C200E-47448Introduced in 1958, Honda's classic C100 Super Cub 'step-thru' moped gave millions the world over their first taste of two-wheeled mobility. Larger-engined versions of the original 50cc Cub were soon made available alongside sports models that were proper small motorcycles. The first nominally 90cc sports model, the C200, arrived in 1963 boasting an overhead-valve engine of 86.7cc that produced 6.5bhp at 8,000rpm. Its cycle parts were typically Honda, consisting of a pressed steel spine frame with swinging-arm rear suspension and leading-link front fork. The C200 lasted in production until 1967, latterly alongside the overhead-camshaft CS90. This Honda C200 comes with a Honda range brochure and numerous invoices totalling almost £6,000 relating to its restoration circa 2020, many issued by marque specialists David Silver Spares.

Ablade Glover (Ghanaian, born 1934)Town Aerial View Abstract signed and dated 'Glo/ 94' (lower right)oil on canvas 100.5 x 150.5cm (39 9/16 x 59 1/4in).(framed)Footnotes:Professor Glover's paintings shift between abstraction and detailed realism depending on the viewer's precise distance from the canvas.When viewed up close, the present work appears to be a constellation of random shapes. Take a step back however, and the inchoate array comes into focus. The abstract shapes transform into a townscape, captured under particular conditions of light and weather.The birds-eye view utilises Western perspectival techniques; the repeated squares of colour that represent the roofs of these Accra dwellings gradually shrink in size towards a horizon positioned beyond the top frame edge.The present lot demonstrates Glover's fascination with the restless dynamics of the urban environment and the opportunities it offers for human interaction and exchange. He locates the precise point where the random events of daily life are resolved into a harmonious order: each roof blends into the townscape and the flux of the present is revealed as an intense instance of eternity.BibliographyJ.Castellone, Contemporary Nigerian Art in Lagos Private Collections, (Ibadan, 2012), pp.14 & 89.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Burkhauser, Glasgow Girls: Women in Art and Design, 1880-1920, Canongate Books, 2001, p. 216.The issue of granting women art students access to nude models was a controversial one when Fra Newbery assumed his post as director of the Glasgow School of Art in the late 19th Century. Considered morally degrading by the most conservative, and an absolute necessity by the then liberal, access to live nude models (although in separate classes with chaperones) appears to be firmly established at the School by at least 1903. By 1919, study from nude models was commonplace, but May was one step bolder, by photographically documenting the nudes from her studio to use in completing this graduation piece, Night and Day. Burkhauser refers to Reid's diploma piece as 'a competent large-scale oil study of two winged 'presences' which echoes Pre-Raphaelitism' (J. Burkhauser, Glasgow Girls: Women in Art and Design, 1880-1920, Canongate Books, 2001, p. 214).Copies of these studio photographs have kindly been provided by the artist's family and reproduced in this catalogue..A small collection of life sketches that relate to this work can be seen in her student portfolio, lot 39This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A BRONZE DEATH MASK, GOA MADE, EAST JAVA, INDONESIA, 1ST MILLENNIUM BC - 1ST MILLENNIUM ADPublished: Claudio Giardino, Massimo Vidale, and Gian Luca Bonora (editors), Goa Made - An Archeological Discovery, Rome, 2012, page 220, no. 112.Indonesia. Finely cast from thin bronze, the mask is realistically styled with thin arched brows above heavy-lidded pierced eyes, a broad nose, and full butterfly lips curling into a calm smile. The face has finely aged, covered overall in a solid layer of malachite green encrustation.Provenance: A private collector in London, United Kingdom, and thence by descent to his daughter Amanda Torri. Alex Torri, Bologna, Italy, inherited from the above. Paolo Bertuzzi, acquired from the above in 2002. A copy of the original invoice from Alex Torri, dated 7 October 2002, showing an image of the present lot, and stating a purchase price of ITL 8,000,000 or approx. EUR 6,300 (converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing), accompanies this lot. Paolo Bertuzzi (1943-2022) was a fashion stylist from Bologna, Italy, and the son of Enrichetta Bertuzzi, founder of Hettabretz, a noted Italian fashion company with customers such as the Rothschild family, Audrey Hepburn, and Elizabeth Taylor. Paolo Bertuzzi later took over his mother's business and designed exclusive pieces, some of which were exhibited in the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum in New York, USA. He was also an avid collector of antiques for more than 60 years. His collection includes both archaic and contemporary art, and he edited two important books about Asian art, Goa Made - An Archaeological Discovery, about a large-scale archaeological project carried out with the Italian and Indonesian governments, and Majapahit, Masterpieces from a Forgotten Kingdom.Condition: Excellent condition commensurate with age. The shape has remained in its original form. As expected, the bronze has corroded overall and there are a soil encrustations. Minor losses and old wear.Weight: 191.1 g Dimensions: Height 18.5 cm Goa (or Gua) Made (Made Cave) is a site north of the Brantas River in East Java. Its importance was first discovered by Anacleto Spazzapan, an Italian archeologist, designer, and collector of ethnographic and folk art who frequently traveled to Indonesia. He was first introduced to the site in 1999. He brought back several sample fragments of fired clay, which he sent to Arcadia labs in Milan for thermoluminescence testing. The first official excavations were subsequently conducted in an underground temple by the Bureau for the Archaeological Conservation of East Java (BACEJ) in 2001 and 2006, the latter funded by Paolo Bertuzzi (the last owner of the present lot), who had developed a profound interest in the site. Finds included imported glazed pottery, Chinese copper or bronze coins, and highly distinct bronze heads such as the present lot. Thermoluminescence analysis of terracotta bricks found in the excavations indicated a date in the early 1st millennium BC. This would not only suggest the discovery of a lost civilization but also challenge widely held notions of Southeast Asian history. The earliest uncontested architectural remains in East Java are two temples dating from the 8th - 9th century AD.In 2007, larger-scale excavations were carried out by a team of Italian and Indonesian archeologists, which revealed a previously overlooked shaft, a complex subterranean structure displaying a sophisticated integrated design that would have required mass community involvement in both its construction and usage. In the following years, disagreements between archeologists involved in the Goa Made project began to emerge. A 2010 article by Andreas M. Steiner and Massimo Vidale in the renowned Italian magazine Archeo supported the dating of to the early 1st millennium BC. In the same year, however, Fiorella Rispoli wrote an article for World Archeology Magazine wherein she questions the accuracy of the thermoluminescence analysis and instead proposed a post-10th century AD dating for the bronze heads. Rispoli suggested that the underground temple was most likely a water control system but offers no explanation as to why or how the heads, a clear part of East Java religious practices, came to be placed there. Most scholars disagree with Rispoli's arguments, especially given that it is primarily based off a single faulty thermoluminescence test she discovered.Cultural acculturation, the mixture of elements from various cultures over various ages implemented in religious contexts is a well-known practice in Indonesia. Settlers of the Indonesian archipelago had consistent contact with Indian traders which led to the adoption of many foreign religious practices. Unsurprisingly, this had a direct effect on the cultural material of Indonesia. Dong Son, the earliest bronze culture in Southeast Asia, was likely introduced to Indonesia by traders during the 1st millennium BC. More than 100 objects from Goa Made are bronze objects, and the majority of these are bronze masks. Many of the masks have characteristics elements which reflect the style of face common to the Majapahit period (13th-16th century). However, the masks which do not illustrate Indonesian facial styles, like the Malayan-Mongoloid face of this lot, are similar to nekara bronzes. This suggests a far earlier dating for these masks. Given the origin of bronze working in Indonesia came from the Don Son culture, these masks can be dated as far back as 2000 BC. However, archeologists are still not unified on this dating. In his 2016 book Hitawasana, Studies on Indonesian Archeology (where the present lot is illustrated, page 55), Prof. Dr. Agus Aris Munandar from the University of Indonesia wrote that further scientific studies remain necessary, and that additional research is expected to step-by-step resolve the questions regarding this important archeological site.

The Art of the Illustrator, The Press Art School, Forest Hill, London 1918Note: In 1918 Percy Bradshaw contacted 20 of the leading illustrators of the day and commissioned each of them for a special illustration. Each artist was given an entirely free hand as to the subject, the only stipulation being that the painting or drawing should be representative of his/her technique and that each stage in its composition should be shown. Bradshaw then reproduced in 6 plates each step in the artistic process and published the 6 lithographs in a portfolio with a 12-page introduction and description of the process within a card folder.
