As he did, Breton announced that a revolution between perception and representation was taking place. The exhibition itself comprised of an array of continental and British names and played host to a raucous series of events. It saw Dalí famously don a deep-sea diving suit only narrowly avoiding asphyxiation, Dylan Thomas serve teacups of boiled string and Paul Nash remove a herring that had been attached to a Miró object on account of its smell. The exhibition was open for just a month, yet a staggering 23,000 visitors attended, confirming that an intrigue in Breton's 'revolution' had firmly permeated British shores.The legacy of this famous exhibition, and the associated movement, has at times overlooked the breadth of the British artists who were included. Favour has been focused on the continental contributors and the few larger domestic figures such as Moore and Nash. Yet several artists such as Grace Pailthorpe and Reuben Mednikoff (both 1936 exhibitors) and the associated British Surrealist Group members such as Ithell Colquhoun, Emmy Bridgwater and Conroy Maddox, have been championed by a dogged few.One such champion has been Paul Conran. In the early 1970s, with the aid of Roland Penrose, Conran set about forging connections with the then statesmen generation of British surrealist artists. Picking out names from the phonebook he arranged studio visits with Eileen Agar, Ithell Colquhoun, John Melville and Edith Rimmington (whose iconic Oneiroscpist was the first picture Conran ever bought). Often buying directly from artists Conran loaned works extensively and staged a number of exhibitions including Surrealism at David Ellis Jones in 1975. Conran, along with Andrew Murray at the Mayor Gallery, and the dealer James Birch was one of a small number of advocates who shared enthusiasm for the full range of British artists associated with the movement. In the late 80s in partnership with Birch, Conran opened a gallery in Soho and there exhibited British surrealism in depth (they also gave Grayson Perry four of his earliest exhibitions). The following seven works all hail from Conran's private collection. They include Conroy Maddox's equally disconcerting and amusing readymade Onanistic Typewriter (editioned by Maddox at Conran's suggestion), early 1930s oils by Pailthorpe and Mednikoff and rarities such as Emmy Bridgwater's The Kill. The concise group illustrates the scope of surrealist works produced in Britain in the 20th Century, which as a number of recent exhibitions indicate, including the acclaimed Dulwich Picture Gallery survey British Surrealism and the touring Pailthorpe and Mednikoff exhibition, A Tale of Mother's Bones (which Conran in part instigated), is an area ripe for re-consideration.This 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

The Roman Empire had a sophisticated economy with coinage in gold, silver and bronze. While this system survived to some extent in the Byzantine territories, in most of western Europe silver alone became the staple circulating medium in the ninth century. In Italy, by the 13th century, the increasing volume and importance of trade required increasingly larger amounts of specie. Perhaps due to the influence of the Arabic-inspired gold coinage of the kings of Sicily, the trading republic of Florence introduced the gold florin in 1252 and the neighbouring city state of Genoa quickly followed suit. An unsuccessful attempt was then made in 1257 to introduce a gold penny in England. The Venetians struck the zecchino from 1284, destined to become the staple of eastern Mediterranean trade for the next 500 years. Charles of Anjou, King of Naples, introduced a gold coinage in 1277 with his salut d’or and, not to be outdone by his great-uncle, the king of France ordered the striking of a gold coin in August 1290, the florin d’or à la reine, based on the size and weight of the Florin but showing the power of the monarchy with a seated image of the king holding an orb and fleur-de-lis. These coins sometimes carried a privy mark of a pear with leaves, the badge of the Florentine banking company of Peruzzi, who were involved at the time in operating mints on the king’s behalf. By the mid-13th century in western Europe trade, and later banking and coinage, were increasingly concentrated in the hands of Italians. As more and more goods were bought and sold by merchants, larger and larger sums were required for payment, some offset by the growing use of credits within the merchant societies, but others settled in full with Italian gold. At the time, the English economy was generally in credit, the export of wool creating an inflow of money, silver to facilitate everyday trade and foreign gold coins for the transactions of the king, the nobility and the wealthy merchant classes. An attempt was made to introduce a large silver coin in England in 1280 with the limited striking of Edward I’s groat. This proved unsuccessful and may have delayed a similar attempt to create a bi-metallic system. By the mid-1330s, however, the situation had changed. There was a dearth of circulating coin in England to the detriment of everyday trade. As Mavis Mate tells us, ‘In 1339 the situation appeared so serious that the magnates in Parliament voiced a fear that the shortage of silver coins might bring internal trade to a halt’. This was coupled with Edward III’s war with France which drained any remaining money from England and sent it overseas in an attempt to gain allies in his dispute with Philip VI of France. These incentives were mainly paid to the princes in the Low Countries, including Edward’s brothers-in-law, Renaud, Duke of Gelderland and William, Margrave of Jülich, amongst others. These payments were sometimes made in English wool which the recipient could then sell on the European market, but more often was facilitated and paid by the Italian banking houses such as the Bardi and Peruzzi. This was normally done in gold florins, usually of Florentine origin. For example, by the end of 1339, Edward owed Duke John of Brabant a staggering 307,000 florins and a further 52,750 florins were due to the Duke of Gelderland. At around the same time, he promised to pay the Margrave of Jülich 7,000 florins a l’écu and 20,000 small gold florins for military assistance rendered during the previous months. For a man with pretensions like Edward, seeking to unite the thrones of England and France, transactions like these must have made him acutely aware of the irony of not having his own economically and politically prestigious international currency in gold. A truce in the war with France, brokered at Malestroit in January 1343, gave the King a chance to turn his attention to matters other than the war. At the request of Parliament he sought to restore the domestic silver coinage. In early 1343, Edward received a letter from a little-known Italian moneyer called Peter Circos offering to undertake a reform of the currency. Catherine Eagleton and Richard Kelleher explain ‘The petition relates primarily to silver coinage but, almost as an afterthought, Circos added a final line mentioning that if the king wanted to have gold money, he knew how to make that as well’. Circos was not given the appointment, but in December 1343 the task of introducing a gold coinage went to the mintmasters George Kirkyn and Lotto Niccolyn of Florence. The Proclamation, reprinted in NC 1900 by Sir John Evans, translates from Norman-French thus: “The King to the Sheriffs of London, Greeting. As it has been accorded and agreed by our prelates and other great persons of our Kingdom of England, for the common profit of our people of the said kingdom that three coins of gold be made in our Tower of London, that is to say:- One coin of two Leopards, the piece current for six shillings, which shall be of the weight of two small florins of Florence of good weight; and one coin of gold of one Leopard, weighing the half of the other aforesaid coin, the piece current for three shillings. And one coin of gold of a Helmet, weighing the fourth part of the aforesaid first coin, the piece current for eighteen pence. The which coins of gold ought to have course among all manner of persons within the said realm of England. Given at Westminster on the 27th day of January” [1343 O.S]. T...

° ° A Collection of deeds and documents relating chiefly to Kent, 1264-1654, from the collection of Thomas Godfrey Godfrey-Faussett (1829-1877)Thomas Godfrey Godfrey-Faussett (for whom see the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography), the son of the professor of divinity at Oxford, was a barrister who in 1866 moved to Canterbury as auditor to the Dean and Chapter; in 1871 he became District Registrar of the probate court in the city. Godfrey-Faussett was the great-grandson of the Kentish clergyman-antiquary Bryan Faussett (1720-1776), and it was to the study of the antiquities of the county that he devoted his leisure time.The 85 documents forming this collection can be divided into two groups – 36 charters relating to Pluckley and Little Chart, mostly with intact seals, and ranging in date from 1290 to 1469; and 49 charters and other documents relating to Kent (45), Essex (2) and London (2).The endorsements on both groups demonstrate that the entirety of the first and the majority of the second had formed part of the archive of the Dering family of Surrenden in Pluckley.The charters in the first group have place-names and personal names underlined in red ink, and are endorsed with a numerical reference in violet ink characteristic of the Dering sale at Puttick and Simpson on 13 July 1865; in that they closely resemble Dering charters at Kent Archives, U350 and U1823.Many of the deeds and documents in the second group must also have originated in the Dering archive – many have endorsements in the hands of Sir Edward Dering (1598-1644), antiquary and religious controversialist (see ODNB), relating both to the contents of the documents themselves but also to his antiquarian, religious and topographical research; in one case he has stitched together two unrelated documents to serve as a medium for a pedigree of the descendants of John Johnson of the Isle of Thanet.The collection has many highlights, the first of which must be the rare opportunity to acquire ten intact lots, amounting to 36 medieval charters, from the renowned Surrenden Dering archive. The second group includes two counterpart leases by Thomas Chillenden, prior of Christ Church Canterbury, one of two tenements with solars attached on the west side of the great gate of the prior and convent in the parish of St Bartholomew, London, 1406. There are five original wills with notes of probate endorsed, 1416-1471, one of which was granted by peculiar jurisdiction of Wingham College in 1450 and bears a fine impression of its seal, which is also appended to a lease by the provost (archbishop Thomas Cranmer’s younger brother Edmund) and canons of Wingham of a farm in Wingham, 1542. An inventory of the goods of Robert Jull of Denton, appraised at £39 17s 1d on 13 April 1585, is also included in the collection.No manorial documents are included in the collection; a complete list of all 85 documents is available.Dering saleCW #Pencil #Ink #Parties and placeSeal?Date1.603363/3William ate Bure to William de Stonforde; Pluckley, held of Little ChartN1290-12912.12363/3John son of William de Plukele kt to William son of Warin de Brochell; PluckleyYJan 12923.602363/3John son of William de Plukele kt to William son of Warin de Brochell; PluckleyNMay 12924.39365/4John Malemeys exchange with John Lambyn of Pluckley; Pluckley, owing suit to the manor of PluckleyYFeb 13075.178365/4Robert de Hardres to John Malemeins of Waldershare, his wife Eleanor and their son John; Caldecote in PluckleyY22 Mar 13076.599365/4Gilbert le Pylecherre to William de Plukele and his wife Agnes; acknowledgement of a rent of three hens for Lotekyneland in Pluckley, previously charged on ClerkeslandN1301-13027.24367/3William son of John de Plokele to John Malemeyns; PluckleyYOct 13088.413/1367/3John Malemeyns to William son of John de Plokele; PluckleyYOct 13089.413/2367/3Thomas son of Simon de Brunesforde to William son of John de Plokele; PluckleyYMar 131110.595368/4William de Brochelle son of W de B kt deceased to William son of John de Plukele and his wife Isabel and to William’s heirs; PluckleyY1313-131411.594368/4John Malemeyns of Waldeshare, kt, to his (named) tenants of the manor of Pluke of the offices of reeve and beadleN1 Feb 131512.593368/4Thomas Smith of Little Chart to William son of John de Plukele; PluckleyY24 Feb 131713.591368/4John de Querstede to John de Sellyngge, citizen and apothecary of London; PluckleyYOct 131714.140370/4Robert Ive to John de Sellyng and his son John; PluckleyY1 Sep 133115.80370/4William son of John de Toniforde to William son of John de Plukele and his wife Isabel; capital messuage in Pluckley and lands Y16 Dec 133216.48370/4William son of Eudo de Shillingheld to John son of Thomas Chicche and John’s wife Katherine; the manor of Everingeecre in Pluckley and BethersdenY2 Apr 133317.1000370/4William son of Eudo de Shillingheld to John son of Thomas Chicche of Canterbury and John’s wife Katherine; the manor of Everingeecre in Pluckley and BethersdenYApr 133318.276371/3William son of Eudo de Shillinghelde to John son of Thomas Chicche of Canterbury and John’s wife Katherine; the manor of Everingeecre in Pluckley and BethersdenYApr 133319.589371/3William son of John de Tunyforde deceased to Joan, Alice, Scholastica, Eleanor, Isabel and Katherine daughters of William de Plukele; Pluckley and ChartY19 May 134920.328371/3Eleanor daughter of William de Plukele to John son of Robert de Okenfolde; Chart and PluckleyYJun 134921.053376/4John Pyrefeld of Pluckley to John Frend and William Baker; Pluckley, Smarden and Little ChartY29 Dec 137322.587376/4Theobald de Surinden of Smarden to his brother John; Pluckley and Little ChartY6 Jan 137923.1376/4Michael Smyth of Playford to John de Surrindene and his sons Harvey and Roger; PluckleyYOct 137924.137376/4Harvey and Roger sons of Michael atte Lee of Playford to John Surinden of Fordmelle; PluckleyY14 Feb 138025.295381/4Margaret daughter of John Haute of Pluckley to her father; lands and tenements formerly John Surrynden which descended to her on the death of her mother JoanY18 May 142126.433381/4John Mounte, citizen and cutler of London, to Henry Malmayns of Pluckley; his rights in the manors of Pluckley and Waldershare in which he and others was enfeoffed by HM Y10 Aug 142127.432381/4Henry Malmayns of Pluckley esq to feoffees (named); manors of Pluckley and Waldershare in Pluckley, Hothfield and SmardenY22 Dec 142128.584381/4John Haute of Pluckley esq to his daughters Christine wife of John Deryng and Elizabeth Haute; tenement late Surrenden in Pluckley and Little Chart; details of buildingsY10 Jun 142529.53382/3John Haute of Pluckley esq to Reynold Dreylond and JH’s daughter Christine, formerly wife of John Deryng, and to her heirs; tenement formerly John Surrenden in Pluckley and Little ChartY10 Feb 142730.143382/3John Haute of Pluckley esq to Reynold Dreylond and JH’s daughter Christine, formerly wife of John Deryng, and to her heirs; tenement formerly John Surrenden in Pluckley and Little ChartY10 Feb 142731.41382/3John Seyntleger and William Norton to Richard Malmayns and Alic

Max Miller signed 6x4 vintage black and white photograph. Thomas Henry Sargent (21 November 1894 - 7 May 1963), known professionally by his stage name Max Miller and billed as The Cheeky Chappie, was an English comedian who was widely regarded as the greatest stand-up of his generation. He came from humble beginnings and left school at the age of 12. At the outbreak of the First World War, he volunteered for the army. During his time in the forces, he started a troupe concert party. On leaving the army, he took up work as a light comedian, dancer, and singer. He toured extensively, appearing in variety, revues and by the early 1930s reached the top of the bill in the large music halls including the London Palladium. He recorded many songs, some of which he wrote. He appeared frequently on radio, but television did not really suit his style. He appeared and starred in 14 feature films. He was known for his flamboyant suits, his wicked charm, and his risqué jokes which often got him into trouble with the censors. He made his last recording in January 1963 and died four months later.

Sir Michael Caine's Rolex. An 18K gold quartz calendar bracelet watchModel: Oysterquartz Day-DateReference: 19018/19000Date: Circa 1979Movement: 11-jewel Cal.5055 quartz, adjusted to temperature, No.0018239Dial: Sunburst champagne, applied gilt baton hour markers, black outer minute track with Roman numeral and luminous dot five minute markers, magnified date aperture at 3, day at 12, gilt tapering faceted baton hands with luminous inserts, centre secondsCase: Brushed and polished tonneau form, screw down back and crown, fluted bezel, No.5874610Strap/Bracelet: Brushed and polished 18K gold linkBuckle/Clasp: Signed folding clasp stamped VCA 7H164-2Signed: Case, dial & movementSize: 36mmFootnotes:With a watch almost always prominently upon his wrist, Sir Michael Caine has become quite the watch style icon. It is no surprise therefore that within Sir Michael's collection there have been several Rolex with each of them contributing to some of the most iconic images put forward of this phenomenal actor. As his career ascended with successes such as the hit movies Get Carter (1971) and Sleuth (1972), Sir Michael can frequently be pictured wearing one of his gold Rolex. The current lot represents his third notable foray into the world of Rolex with his purchase of an 18K gold Oysterquartz Datejust. Ever the trailblazer rather than crowd follower, Sir Michael was an early convert to the Oysterquartz acquiring his model not long after they first launched in the late 1970s. Sir Michael has confirmed that he wore this watch during numerous roles but, perhaps, most famously as Lawrence Jamieson in the 1988 movie Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. The gold bracelet can be seen nestled within Sir Michaels crisp white suit as he toasts with Steve Martin upon the promotional posters for the film. As with all of his watches, Sir Michael did not distinguish what was exclusive for the movie set versus his private life. Captured in 1982 is a fantastic image by the celebrated American photographer Steve Schapiro (via Getty Images Ⓒ) where Sir Michael can be seen sat at his home in LA. With cigar in one hand, wine in the other, iconic glasses on - there is no other way to describe this portrait of Sir Michael than cool. Visible upon his wrist and balancing the gold hues given off by his glass of wine is his Rolex Oysterquartz, distinct from other Rolex Day-Dates by the crisp faceted edges that make this design so recognisable.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
