Registration - PJI 6757 Chassis No. - SCBZS0007HCH21188 M.O.T. - March 2025 Odometer - 124,000 ‘PJI6757’ hails from 1987, the first model year of the “S” variant. The “S” carried through many enhancements from the range topping Turbo R, to give the Mulsanne a mid-life glow-up. ‘PJI6757’ showcases these, including the alloy wheels, interior upgrades and sportier handling courtesy of stiffer suspension. ‘PJI6757’ has covered 131,226 miles to date which is moderate for a 37-year old car with what Bentley described as “unstressed” mechanicals. Offered here with NO RESERVE. The current MOT is valid until March 2025 to allow for immediate, elegant wafting by the next owner. ‘PJI6757’ holds a category N – non-structural – insurance marker from 2018. Given the regal nature of ‘PJI6757,’ its Georgian Silver livery seems highly appropriate. Whilst ostensibly a rebadged Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit on the SZ platform, ‘PJI6757’ offers plenty of Bentley specific differentiators. First there is big, matrix meshed radiator cowl complete with “flying B” emblem. The 15-inch, “S” specific alloy wheels with big “B” inscribed centre plates also catch the eye, shod as they are with deep 70 profile tyres with subtle white-wall details. The paint and bodywork are rated “average” by the vendor with the bulk of the imperfections being located around the sills and wheel arches. ‘PJI6757’ seems to have been well cared for mechanically, throughout its life. Its mechanical provenance includes a new engine at around 34,500 miles, a conversion to unleaded fuel friendly valve seats in 1991 and a new gearbox and torque converter at 80,000 miles in 1995. The spacious, leather clad, Oyster hued cabin seems to have lost none of its “special occasion” grandeur for which the marque is known. Just the right level of patina appears to grace the commodious and well padded seats and accompanying contrasting piping. Deep lambswool rugs are present, except for the driver’s footwell where it is noted that the carpet is worn through in places. Surely this represents an enticing opportunity to acquire an honest and delightful Bentley at a merest fraction of its original £90,000 plus cost. In summary: · An honest and original example of the enhanced Mulsanne S model · In a very regal and Bentley appropriate colourway

An Omani Thaler -Silver / White metal necklace. Circa 1900 This Omani necklace comprises a round silver and overlaid-gold sunburst disk, eight silver Maria Theresa thaler coins, and twenty seven silver double barrel-shaped beads. Maria Theresa thalers have been struck in Austria since the reign of Empress Maria Theresa of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The Empress died in 1780 and since that time, all thalers that were subsequently struck were minted with that date regardless of the actual year that they were produced. The coins achieved such a level of trust for their silver content (which is 83.3% silver) in the Middle East that neither the design nor the date was varied, and so for more than 200 years the coins were used as an international currency among the tribes and the states of the Middle East, in much the same was as the Spanish dollar was used as an international currency at the time elsewhere. The thalers were used to complete most important transactions locally and were also given as dowries. They were also an important source of silver and were melted locally for jewellery. The coins made their way to the ports of the Red Sea, Egypt and northern Africa from the ports of Genoa, Trieste, Livorno and Marseille. European traders used the coins to buy precious materials from the Gulf and northern Africa which it desired – commodities such as spices, coffee, gum Arabic, indigo, pearls, and tortoise shell. The importance and the beauty of the coins saw them incorporated into local jewellery most particularly in Oman and Yemen. Approx. 50cm length. The necklace is in good condition. Wear commensurate with age.  References Al-Jadir, S., Arab & Islamic Silver, Stacey International, 1981. Harrigan, P., ‘Tales of a Thaler’, Saudi Aramco World, January/February 2003.

THOMAS BARDWELL (BRITISH 1704-1767) VIEWS OF ADLINGTON HALL AND PARK Oil on canvas, a set of four Each 61.5 x 101cm (24 x 39.3⁄4 in.) (4) Provenance: Charles Legh, descent to current ownerLiterature: County Life, 28 November 1952, p.1734, fig. 1; 12 December 1952, p. 165, fig.9. J.

Brindle, Country Houses of England, 1994, pp.84-85. J. Harris, The Artist and the Country House. London, 1995, p.84-5, fig. 57-8.  Exhibition: Sotheby's London, The Artist and the Country House, no.57 and 58. The present lot is a striking example of English country house portraiture, commissioned as a painterly record of a generation's contribution to the family seat. The tradition of estate painting arrived in England relatively late in comparison with the continent, where Renaissance rulers and aristocrats sought to document their palaces and homes. While oil paintings on canvas of a standalone property are unrecorded in England before 1600, the tradition was taken up with great enthusiasm and the art form reached its zenith in the eighteenth-century.Born in Suffolk in 1704, Thomas Bardwell was a painter with a varied oeuvre; he travelled across England and Scotland executing country house views, portraits and conversation pieces. He began his artistic career decorating house interiors and initially owned a paint supply business. Although he lacked formal training, in the 1720s he was employed by the successful country house painter Peter Tillemans (c. 1684-1734) to paint Livermere Hall in Bardwell's native East Anglia. Tillemans' influence on Bardwell is discernible from his earliest topographical pictures. Notably, his painting of Hedenham Hall (1735) adopts Tillemans' distinctive equine staffage, shown most prominently in his view of Chatsworth (1720s). Though charmingly naïve, this early work is also notable for its sensitive observation of detail and miniature-like quality.Previously attributed to James Shrigley, The Adlington views demonstrate how Bardwell's proficiency in country house painting evolved in his mature years. First and foremost, the works memorialise the architectural achievements of Charles Legh (1697-1781), including the south wing portico, detached stable block, domed Temple of Diana and garden follies. Although early continental estate pictures certainly display a keen interest in preserving specific details, decorative concerns often came at the expense of accuracy and views were compressed to create broad pictorial maps. By the turn of the 18th century, however, artists and patrons responded to the growing study of topography and sets of elevational views proliferated to provide a comprehensive record.Bardwell's interest in perspectival accuracy therefore made him a fitting choice for the commission. Published in 1756, his study The Practice of Painting and Perspective Made Easy offers the reader a guide to the principles of perspective using illustrations of buildings, gardens and avenues. His principles are brought to fruition in the present works, through geometric precision, carefully manipulated areas of light and shadow and the incisive rendering of architectural detail.Bardwell's views also act as a celebration of the English estate, with its bucolic scenery and rural pleasures. Following Charles Legh as he strolls around the grounds, the paintings provide a pictorial tour of the landscape. The parkland is characteristic of the mid eighteenth-century designs popularised by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown, with rolling pastures and clusters of trees. Horses graze, deer and rabbits frolic, and Charles Legh is accompanied by a crowd of his cherished dogs. Indeed, the lines between portraiture, landscape, sporting and country house painting blurred in English eighteenth-century conversation pieces and works began to speak to the symbiotic relationship between the home and family. Thomas Bardwell's portraits, for instance, often include the sitter's home in the background and his estate views show figures riding or promenading through the grounds.John Steegman wrote that 'a house may be called Castle, Abbey, Priory, Park, Hall, Court, Manor, or just a House...But they are all houses, which have been born-in, lived-in and died-in by the family, and which are centred the family's affections and pride'. Bardwell's pictures animate the country house by reflecting the delight and fulfilment of those who inhabit it. In one view, Charles Legh stands proudly before the imposing new facade. Another shows him looking across his sweeping vista and admiring Adlington Hall from a distance. In each picture, however, the figure moves unobtrusively across the landscape; there is an awareness of his transience. While one generation travels through, the home and park remain the constant focus, a testament to one family's enduring legacy.

An extremely rare Second World War ‘Burma’ D.F.C., Venezuelan Cross of Las Fuerzas Aereas, group of seven awarded to Wellington, Dakota and Liberator pilot Wing Commander C. V. Beadon, 215 Squadron, Royal Air Force, who carried out 3 tours of operations, including 2 over Burma. The latter proving particularly hazardous, when on 1 January 1945, Beadon’s aircraft was described as trailing ‘Rivers of flame. The plane was hit when making an attack from only 150 feet above the Burma-Siam railway. The shell blasted a hole two feet square in the fuselage and tore away the tail gun turret doors, starting rivulets of flame in the turret as the hydraulic oil gushed from a broken pip and caught alight...’ Using ‘the tea and water in their flasks, as well as fire extinguishers... to fight the blaze in the rear-gun turret. They flew 500 miles over the Bay of Bengal with the turret aflame then, exhausted by their struggles, flew another 500 miles before reaching the base in India... they had survived one of the most hazardous journeys experienced by Eastern Air Command Liberators.’ Surviving the war, and on the orders of Churchill, Beadon took part in the ‘kidnapping’ of the King of Buganda in November 1953. Arriving in Entebbe, Beadon kept the engines of his Hastings aircraft running as King “Freddie” was dragged screaming across the tarmac and bundled in the back with a blanket of his head. Beadon served as British Air Attaché in Caracas, 1954-57, and later became an authority on Dowsing - pinpointing large deposits of oil in Africa and South America Distinguished Flying Cross, G.VI.R., reverse officially dated ‘1945’; 1939-45 Star; Atlantic Star; Burma Star; Defence and War Medals 1939-45; Coronation 1953, unnamed as issued; Venezuela, 2nd Class Cross of Las Fuerzas Aereas, 18 ct gold and enamel, in Huguenin case of issue, with related dress miniature also in 18 ct. gold and enamel, British awards mounted as originally worn but lacking retaining pin, generally very fine or better (lot) £4,000-£5,000 --- Provenance: Spink Circular 1999. D.F.C. London Gazette 17 August 1945. The recommendation states: ‘This Flight Commander has recently completed his third tour of operations, and his second in this theatre. His cheerfulness, undoubted courage and devotion to duty have been of the highest order, and have contributed largely to the success of numerous operations. His sorties during this tour have been on Wellington, Dakota and Liberator aircraft, and have included daylight attacks on Rangoon, Bangkok and Mbulmein, supply dropping to the 14th Army during the monsoon period of 1944, and as Pathfinder for the Group attacks on Bangkok. He was recently awarded a Command Mention for bringing back his badly damaged aircraft a distance of over 1000 miles after attacking successfully at extremely low level, trains on the Bangkok-Chiengmei railway. He has led the Squadron on several occasions with outstanding success. Station Commander’s Remarks: I concur. The actions, which gained S/Ldr. Beadon a Command Mention, illustrate his outstanding qualities which have prevailed throughout this tour as Captain of a Heavy Bomber and a leader both in the air and on the ground. Remarks of Group Commander: I very strongly endorse the Remarks of the Station Commander and the Squadron Commander. S/Ldr. Beadon’s work has been quite outstanding. He has proved himself an exceptionally able and courageous Flight Commander and his enthusiasm, coupled with sound judgement, have been an inspiration to the other members of his Squadron.’ Clive Vernon Beadon was born in Coonor, near Poona, India in April 1919. He was the son of Colonel V. Beadon, M.C. 9th Gurkhas, and was educated at the Imperial Service College, Windsor. Beadon was awarded a scholarship to Sandhurst, but elected to go to Royal Air Force College, Cranwell instead. He carried out training as a pilot, was commissioned in 1939, and was posted to 101 Squadron - a Blenheim training unit. Beadon was posted for operational flying, with the outbreak of the Second World War, to 502 Squadron (Whitleys) at St. Eval. The Squadron was part of Coastal Command, and was employed on convoy duties on the Western approaches. In September 1940 Beadon qualified as a flying instructor at the Central Flying School and spent the next two years training pilots. He was posted to No. 1 Middle East Ferry Control in September 1942, and three months later moved on to India where he flew Wellingtons (and later Liberators) with 215 Squadron against the Japanese in Burma. This was the beginning of a long and hazardous two tour stint on the Burma front - with his log book recording varying targets, engine break ups, crash landings and damage by rifle fire! With perhaps the pinnacle of his flying exploits occurring during an attack on the Siam Railway, 1 January 1945, ‘Loco Strike. Thanbulyat to Milestone 42. Photography of Milestone 6 & M8 North & South town. Milestone 37 direct hit by flack. R/G Killed. A/C write off. Bombs finally jettisoned.’ (Log Book refers) More detail is added to Beadon’s rather laconic entry above, by the following press article: ‘With its rear gun turret aflame, a RAF Liberator bomber flew for 500 miles over the Bay of Bengal and then, the fire quelled, covered another 500 miles before reaching base in India. The nose-heavy bomber, its elevators almost shattered by a Japanese A/A shell over Siam, was brought down safely on its home airfield four hours after nightfall by S/Ldr Clive Beadon, of Wokingham-road, Reading, and his second pilot, W/O A. C. Combe, of Endfield-road, Acton, London. Embers were still glowing in the metal turret when the first aid squad reached it. The gunner had been killed, but the rest of the crew were safe. The plane was hit when making an attack from only 150 feet above the Burma-Siam railway. The shell blasted a hole two feet square in the fuselage and tore away the tail gun turret doors, starting rivulets of flame in the turret as the hydraulic oil gushed from a broken pip and caught alight. Gaining height to avoid more attacks while over Japanese-held territory, S/Ldr Beadon made for the coast 40 miles away. Five hours flight over the sea faced the crew before they could hope to reach friendly coast. Tea and water in their vacuum flasks, as well as all fire extinguishers, were used to fight the flames. Sgt. R. Handson, of St. Ivian’s Drive, Gidea Park, Romford, Essex, and Sgt. T. Bennet, of Wakefield-street, Warrington, Lancs., who had been knocked down by the blast of the explosion while manning the beam guns, helped to fight the fire and Sgt. D. J. Morgan, of High-street, Cefmcoed, Merthyr, South Wales climbed from the gunner’s turret to help. Fuel was transferred from the bomb bay tanks, in the middle of the bomber, to reduce the danger if the fire spread, and burning material was thrown from the back of the aircraft. After three hours the flames were put out. The red hot gun turret hung precariously on the bomber’s tails, and the controls were sluggish, the Indian coast still far away but “H for Harry” got back.’ Beadon had advanced to Temporary Squadron Leader in July 1944, and was been appointed a Flight Commander. Still on active service when his well-merited D.F.C. was gazette in August 1945, but now on the Operations Staff of H.Q. Air Command, South East Asia, Beadon was unable to attend an Investiture back in the U.K. He did, however, meet King George VI at a later date, the latter telling him that it was to men like him “that we owe our freedom”.

Wawa-Wood, in color. Height: 56 cm (22 in). Including base: 166,5 cm (65,6 in). More works from the collection are available in our Online Sale (ends December 15, 2024). • Characteristic woodwork of high recognition value. • The base puts the work at eye level with the observer and lends it an impressive spatial presence. • Man is a central theme in Balkenhol's work. Not to represent the human being as a unique individual, but as an anonymous yet strangely familiar person. • Using traditional tools such as gouges, carving knives and mallets, the figures are hewn and cut out of the wood. • Balkenhol uses the classic form of wood carving and returns to the original technique of this genre. • The artist juxtaposes the traditional technique with exceptionally contemporary apparel. PROVENANCE: Galerie Löhrl, Mönchengladbach. Hans Braun Collection, Baden-Württemberg (acquired from the above). “My works are not portraits in a narrow sense, they do not represent anyone in particular, but they are also not just signs or symbols [..].” Stephan Balkenhol, 1988, in a conversation with Rainer Krone, quoted in: ex. cat. “BINATIONALE”. Deutsche Kunst der späten 80er Jahre, Cologne 1988. “I want everything at once: sensuality, expression, but not too much, liveliness, but no shallow banter, immediacy, but no anecdotes, wit, but no corny jokes, self-irony, but no cynicism. And first and foremost, a beautiful, silent, emotional figure that says a lot and nothing. The figure should transcend itself, tell about itself and about other things without contorting or grimacing.” Stephan Balkenhol, quoted in: Hans Werner Schmidt (ed.), Stephan Balkenhol, Museum der bildenden Künste, Leipzig 2001, p. 2.

The particularly fine Second War immediate ‘Augsburg Raid’ D.F.C., D.F.M. group of seven awarded to Hampden and Lancaster navigator, Warrant Officer F. S. Kirke, Royal New Zealand Air Force, a veteran of at least 41 operational sorties prior to taking part in the Augsburg Raid, including on one, 5 November 1941, when he suffered a fractured skull and severe burns. Kirke distinguished himself during the famous low-level unescorted daylight raid on the M.A.N. diesel factory at Augsburg, 17 April 1942, when in a Lancaster piloted by ‘Ginger’ Garwell. Their Lancaster was the only one of 44 Squadron to reach the target - other than the one flown by Squadron Leader J. D. Nettleton, who was awarded the Victoria Cross for the raid. Garwell’s ‘aircraft was hit badly in the fuselage as it ran in towards the target, but Kirke, lying face down over the bomb sight in the nose, cooly directed his pilot. The aircraft lifted as its bombs went but it was streaming fire and doomed. A couple of miles out of the city Garwell found an open field and accomplished a masterly crash-landing. Four of the stunned and shaken crew, Kirke among them, stumbled from the blazing wreck. The other three died. The survivors were captured.’ Kirke was taken prisoner of war, and interned at the infamous Stalag Luft III, Sagan. He became, ‘the first member of the RNZAF to wear the dual ribbons of the D.F.C. and D.F.M...’ Distinguished Flying Cross, G.VI.R., reverse officially dated ‘1942’, and reverse additionally engraved ‘N.Z.39864 Sgt. F. S. Kirke RNZAF’; Distinguished Flying Medal, G.VI.R. (N.Z.39864. Sgt. F. S. Kirke. R.N.Z.A.F.) suspension claw re-pinned, and loose; 1939-45 Star; Air Crew Europe Star; Defence and War Medals 1939-45; New Zealand War Service Medal, mounted as worn - the DFM in reverse, cleaned, generally nearly very fine or better (lot) £4,000-£6,000 --- D.F.C. London Gazette 5 June 1942. Jointly listed with Flying Officer 65503 A. J. Garwell, D.F.M. (for the award of the DFC), and Sergeants 778173 L. L. Dando and 999625 J. Watson (both for the award of the D.F..M.): ‘On 17th April, 1942, Flying Officer Garwell, Warrant Officer Kirke and Sergeants Dando and Watson were members of the crew of a Lancaster aircraft which took part in the daring daylight attack on Augsburg, involving a flight of some 1,000 miles across enemy territory. Soon after crossing the enemy's coast their aircraft was damaged in a running fight with 25 to 30 enemy fighters. Despite this they pressed on until the target area was reached. In the face off fierce and accurate anti-aircraft fire which further damaged the bomber and set it on fire the bombs were released on the objective. The task accomplished, it was necessary to make a forced landing in a field some 2 miles from the target. In the most harassing circumstances this very gallant crew displayed great fortitude and skill which has set a magnificent example.’ D.F.M. London Gazette 6 June 1941. The original recommendation states: ‘This N.C.O. has carried out a total of 24 operations against the enemy during the course of which he has completed 172 hours flying as Navigator. He has always shown the greatest keenness at his work. His navigation in all kinds of weather has been of the very highest order. Throughout all these operations, he has shown outstanding ability, determination and devotion to duty.’ Frank Skipworth Kirke was born in Wellington, New Zealand in March 1917, and was educated at Marlborough College, Blenheim. He enlisted in the Royal New Zealand Air Force at Ohakea as a Leading Aircraftman in October 1939, advanced to Temporary Sergeant, and embarked for the UK in April 1940. Kirke was posted for training as a Navigator to No. 12 O.T.U. in June 1940, before briefly being posted to 106 Squadron in September 1940. He was posted for operational flying to 83 Squadron, 6 October 1940, and then on to 61 Squadron, 17 March 1941. Kirke was awarded the D.F.M. for his service with 83 Squadron, and the following is given in Night After Night: New Zealanders in Bomber Command by M. Lambert: ‘On the otherhand, Kirke, 25, was vastly experienced [by the time he joined 44 Squadron - February 1942] and held the D.F.M. He’d enlisted in the RNZAF in October 1939, and by May 1941 had flown 34 ops on Hampdens, 25 with 83 Squadron, the rest with 61 Squadron. He’d been decorated after all that, the citation saying his navigation ‘has been of the very highest order’. After five months instructing he was posted to 455 Squadron, RAAF, also on Hampdens. He did four trips with 455 before surviving a nasty crash on Guy Fawkes Day 1941, which left him with a fractured skull and burns. Recovered after four months, he joined 44, completing three ops on Lancasters before the Augsburg raid.’ Kirke wrote to his sister about his investiture at Buckingham Palace, 5 October 1941: ‘There was nothing in it really. I just staggered up to the King, he stuck the medal on my chest and away I went... There was the usual crowd of sightseers floating around outside the main gates so I sailed passed in lordly disdain inside the taxi... Naturally all the women were staring at the heroes and all the fellows were wish it was over so they could go and have a beer.... All the crowd cheered and created hell so I sneaked smartly into the nearest pub and did a spot of steady drinking....’ Kirke had advanced to Flight Sergeant in September 1941, and to Warrant Officer in April 1942. He served as an instructor at No. 25 O.T.U., Finningley, at the same time as A. J. Garwell [whose D.F.C., D.F.M. group was sold as part of the Ron Penhall Collection, in these rooms in September 2006]- whom he was to be later crewed up with at 44 (Rhodesia) Squadron for the Augsburg Raid. In November 1941, Garwell joined the ‘Intensive Flying (Lancaster) Flight’ at Boscombe Down, at which establishment he flew on occasion as 2nd Pilot to Squadron Leader J. D. Nettleton, a timely encounter for before too long they would be flying alongside each other in the Lancasters of 44 Squadron and, more significantly, in the famous daylight raid on Augsburg. By that stage - April 1942 - the recently commissioned Garwell had flown two further sorties to Germany with his new unit and had very much become Nettleton’s right-hand man. On the way out to dispersal in a squadron truck for the Augsburg raid, the pair of them agreed that they would not take evasive action if attacked by fighters, but rather hold their course. As Garwell put it, “The only thing to do is press straight on and keep flat on the ground. If anyone gets crippled I suggest he throttles back and belly-lands straight ahead.” Kirke was one of two Kiwis to fly on the Augsburg Raid. The Augsburg Daylight Raid, 17 April 1942 No better account of this extremely gallant enterprise may be quoted than that written by Chaz Bowyer in For Valour, The Air VCs: ‘At 3.12 p.m. John Nettleton lifted Lancaster R5508 ‘B’ off the Waddington runway, followed by six other Lancasters from 44 Squadron. Once all were airborne and beginning to close up in tight formation, the last Lancaster to leave circled and returned to base, being simply a reserve machine to slot into any gap at the start of the sortie. The remaining six aircraft settled into two Vics of three as they drummed low across Lincolnshire heading southwards. In front Nettleton had Warrant Officer G. T. Rhodes in Lancaster L7536 ‘H’ to his left, and Flying Officer J. Garwell, D.F.M. in R5510 ‘A’ to starboard. The second Vic close behind was led by Flight Lieutenant N. Sandford in R5506 ‘P’...

PASTEUR LOUIS: (1822-1895) French chemist and microbiologist, renowned for his discoveries of the principles of vaccination and pasteurisation. A significant A.L.S., L. Pasteur, three pages, 8vo, Paris, 19th July 1888, to [Charles Bouchard] (´Mon cher confrere´), in French. Pasteur commences his letter stating ´Mardi prochain, M. Proust fera le rapport sur les candidats étrangers au titre de correspondant de l’Académie de médecine. Permettez-moi de vous informer de tous les vœux que je fais en faveur du professeur Cantani de Naples, non seulement pour sa valeur personnelle et ses titres scientifiques, mais parce qu’il a été et est encore en butte à toutes sortes d’oppositions et d’avanies de Semmola et autres qui sont irrités de l’initiative qu’il a prise dès le début de l’application de ma méthode de prophylaxie de la rage après morsure´ (Translation: ´Next Tuesday, Mr Proust will report on the foreign candidates for the title of correspondent to the Académie de médecine. Allow me to inform you of all the good wishes I have for Professor Cantani of Naples, not only because of his personal merit and scientific qualifications, but also because he has been and still is subject to all sorts of opposition and abuse from Semmola and others who are irritated by the initiative he has taken since the beginning of the application of my method of rabies prophylaxis after bites´) and explains ´Cantani avait institué à ses frais le laboratoire antirabique que dirigeait un de ses élèves le docteur di Vestea. Cela ne pouvait durer, dans ces conditions. Il y a donc eu cessation de service de la rage jusqu’à ce que l’état et la municipalité se fussent décidé à des subsides à Cantani. Plusieurs cas de rage humaines s’étant produits pendant l’interruption du service, une allocation de 9.000 fr a été enfin accordée et les Dr Vestea et Zagari s’occupent présentement de refaire la série des lapins trépanés et des moules´ (Translation: ´Cantani had set up, at his own expense, an anti-rabies laboratory run by one of his students, Dr di Vestea. Under the circumstances, this could not continue. The rabies service was therefore discontinued until the state and the municipality decided to provide Cantani with subsidies. As several cases of human rabies had occurred during the interruption of the service, an allocation of 9,000 fr was finally granted and Dr Vestea and Zagari are now busy redoing the series of trepanned rabbits and moulds´), further writing ´En ce moment on répand le bruit que Cantani et anti français, très favorable à l’école allemande etc etc. Vous pourrez en être informé par M. Charcot qui, à Milan, a eu de piquants entretiens avec Semmola lequel a desservi Cantani comme il a pu. J’en sais long sur ce Semmola et je suis persuadé que M. Charcot n’a pas tardé à le juger. J’ai de Semmola plusieurs lettres, auxquelles je n’ai pas répondu, et par lesquelles il voulait m’obliger à une discussion publique avec lui pendant que j’étais à Bordighera. Ces lettres n’ont fait que me confirmer dans l’opinion que m’ont suggéré à son sujet plusieurs médecins et savants de l’Italie´ (Translation: ´At the moment there are rumours that Cantani is anti-French and very favourable to the German school etc etc. You can find out about this from Mr Charcot who, in Milan, had some lively discussions with Semmola, who did Cantani all he could. I know a lot about this Semmola and I am convinced that Mr Charcot was quick to judge him. I have several letters from Semmola, to which I did not reply, and by which he wanted to force me into a public discussion with him while I was in Bordighera. These letters only confirmed the opinion that several Italian doctors and scholars had suggested to me about him´). Pasteur concludes his letter stating ´Bref, je vous le répète, je forme les vœux les plus légitimes en faveur de M. Cantani. L’Académie de médecine lui doit en quelques sortes une réparation. À la sollicitation de ses ennemis de Naples, Peter a déposé, le 23 fév[rier] 1887 sur le bureau de l’académie de Paris, un document reconnu apocryphe, signé faussement du président de l’académie de médecine de Naples et dirigé contre Cantani, qui à la nouvelle de cette infamie, donna immédiatement sa démission de membre de cette académie. 8 jours après excuses et hommages à Cantani par le président Tommasi et refus d’acceptation de cette démission etc. etc.´ (Translation: ´In short, I repeat, I have the most legitimate wishes for Mr Cantani. The Académie de Médecine owes him a reparation of sorts. At the request of his enemies in Naples, Peter deposited, on 23 Feb[ruary] 1887 on the desk of the Paris Academy, a document acknowledged to be apocryphal, falsely signed by the President of the Naples Academy of Medicine and directed against Cantani, who on hearing of this infamy immediately resigned as a member of the Academy. 8 days later the president Tommasi apologised to Cantani and refused to accept his resignation etc. etc.´). In a lengthy postscript Pasteur refers to the specifica case of a dog and the method (inspired by Roux's experiments) of inoculating increasingly virulent rabies marrow by trepanning, in order to make the dog resistant to the rabies virus, ´Je passe quelques jours chaque semaine à Villeneuve-l‘Etang où je trouve votre chien. Dans cette inaction du chenil de Villeneuve il a pris un embonpoint inquiétant. Je vous engage beaucoup à le reprendre. Vous savez qu’après sa vaccination on a éprouvé son immunité par inoculation à la surface du cerveau et qu’il y a résisté parfaitement´ (Translation: ´I spend a few days each week in Villeneuve-l'Etang where I find your dog. In this inactivity at the Villeneuve kennels he has become worryingly overweight. I urge you to take him back. You know that after his vaccination his immunity was tested by inoculation on the surface of the brain and that he resisted perfectly´). A letter of important content demonstrating the high level of tension within the Franco-Italian scientific community and also illustrating Pasteur´s exasperation at the means used by his detractors to hinder the work of his colleagues on rabies prophylaxis. VGCharles Bouchard (1837-1915) French physician, anatomopathologist, prolific biologist and renowned clinician. He is known, among other things, for the concept of auto-intoxication and medical antisepsis.Adrien Proust (1834-1903) French doctor, the father of Marcel and Robert Proust. He was elected a full member of the Académie Nationale de Médecine in 1879, where he served as annual secretary from 1883-88, and inaugurated the Pasteur monument in Chartres shortly before his death in 1903.Pasteur´s discovery of the rabies vaccine in 1885 earned the scientist worldwide acclaim. Subsequently, the Académie des Sciences proposed that he set up an establishment to treat rabies: the Institut Pasteur opened its doors in 1888, the same year as the present letter.OWING TO LIMITATIONS IMPOSED BY THE SALEROOM THE COMPLETE DESCRIPTION FOR THIS LOT CAN NOT BE DISPLAYED - PLEASE CONTACT IAA EUROPE DIRECTLY FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.

Icon of the Lord Pantocrator, made in 1891 in Moscow. The icon shows a half-length image of the Lord Pantocrator in traditional iconography: with an open book in his left hand and a blessing gesture of his right hand. The image was painted by a professional master in the academic style typical of Moscow workshops of the late 19th century. The silver gilded frame is decorated with shining enamels on the crowns, fields and corners, emphasizing the high artistic level of the icon. The icon is a striking example of the neo-Russian style, combining the features of historicism and modernism in Russian art at the turn of the 19th-20th centuries. Hallmarks: silversmith`s marks in Cyrillic AM, presumably Mukhin Alexander Alekseevich, hallmarks of the Moscow assayer - Oleks Lev Fedorovich - initials L.O - 1891. Dimensions: 27x22.5 cm. Historical background: Mukhin Alexander Alekseevich - owner of a silver products factory in the 2nd half of the 19th century. In 1879 there were 12 workers. He made 100 pounds of various silver items, totaling 112,000 rubles. Including salt shakers, gospel frames, church utensils.

Registration No: WC 1431 Chassis No: GS 138 MOT: ExemptRare Vintage-era French cycle carSubject to an extensive restoration during the 1980sFitted with an upgraded 1,098cc OHV Chapuis-Dornier engine and four-speed gearboxEligible for events such as Vintage Montlhery and VSCC hillclimbsFounded in 1912 by Bertrand Montet, Derby was initially engaged in general engineering and after the Great War dealt in War-surplus Harley-Davidson motorcycles. From 1921, the firm began producing lightweight Voiturettes (Cyclecars) that were fitted with the Harley Davidson V-Twin motorcycle engines with which they had become so familiar. Very quickly the marque started to produce larger models and would fit these chassis with four-cylinder, overhead valve 1,098cc engines sourced from Chapuis-Dornier. Competing with the likes of Amilcar and Salmson, Automobiles Derby exhibited a British bodied 9hp 'Sports' model at the 1923 Olympia Motor Show which was a direct descendant of their 9hp Racer that had competed in the Brooklands 200 mile race. Unfortunately, Derby failed to attract much interest at the show, but it would inspire the imagination of one Vernon Balls. Balls was a Gentleman motor racer who had trained as a motor engineer and made a name for himself by purchasing the remaining stock of Mors spares, and his business would handle all repairs and servicing for the firm right up until 1923. Later in that year, on a business trip to Paris, Balls purchased an Amilcar for sporting use and saw great potential in French cyclecars in British sporting events, and merely a few years later, his firm would become the main sales agent for Derby and market them under the name 'Vernon-Derby' from 1927. The 9hp Grand Sports Special was a slightly more updated version of the 9hp Sports Model, and featured more elegant bodystyling with louvred side-panels upon the chassis, wrap-around cycle wings and a four-speed gearbox in place of the earlier three-speed unit.Dated to 1926, little is known about the early life of chassis ‘GS 138’, but it managed to survive some fifty years before its discovery by the previous owner in France in a dilapidated state during the late 1970s. According to the vendor, the previous owner was a very good friend of his who was responsible for the restoration of several interesting pre-war sports cars; but was particularly fanatical about the Derby marque. The rare sports car is said to have been found to be remarkably complete despite having been disassembled, so the decision was made to perform a full restoration which would continue throughout the 1980’s and 1990’s. A chemical engineer by trade, the previous owner had nearly every steel part treated by dipping them in vats of Jenolite Rust Converter, a process that he had sworn by on previous restorations. After treatment, the chassis and body were prepared in Red Oxide and painted in its resplendent red by a professional coach working firm, which has survived in very fine form to this day, testament to the rust treating process that the restorer swore by.Mechanically, the Derby was treated to the same level of attention and a full overhaul was performed on the four-cylinder Chapuis Dornier engine, which was re-bored and fitted with new pistons whilst the crankshaft was re-ground and mounted within freshly white-metalled bearing shells. The cooling system was uprated with the addition of a water pump instead of the original thermo-syphon arrangement, which fed a freshly re-cored radiator. The gearbox, front axle and back axle were completely overhauled with new components made up where necessary and the electrics were also subject to attention, with a new wiring loom fitted to power the reconditioned lighting system and period gauges set into the dashboard. Finally, a complete replacement interior was constructed with a high-quality black leather used to trim the off-set seats which is pleasingly complimentary to the red panel work.Having completed the restoration, the Derby would remain in the previous owner’s possession up until 2019 as part of his private collection and was used sparingly whilst being maintained to a very high standard. The vendor, a long-term fan of pre-war cars and motorcycles himself would acquire it directly from the previous owner to join several interesting stablemates (including another Derby). Described by the present owner as having survived in ‘very good to excellent’ condition all round, old age has unfortunately now forced his hand with his decision to sell.A rarity on the open market, this Derby 9hp Gran Sport is fully registered for use in the UK and presents as an interesting alternative to better known French cyclecar brands for either competition use in the many events that it is eligible for, or perhaps it would make a very eye-catching talking point as part of a private collection.

Registration No: T916 BPO Chassis No: WDB2020262F839319 MOT: October 2025Residing in single ownership since 2002Just c.72,000 miles from newFinished in the vibrant and attractive colour combination of Vivianite Green paintwork with Black cloth interiorDesirable Sport modelMercedes-Benz's internal designation for its compact saloon from 1993-2000, was W202. As the first generation of the C-Class, replacing the 190 series/W201 in June 1993, the C-Class sedan was Mercedes' entry-level model until 1997, when the company launched the A-Class. Production reached 1,847,382 over model years 1994–2000. The C240's displacement was enlarged from 2.4L to 2.6L in the last four years of production, but output remained at 168hp. Four distinctive trim levels were offered, Classic, Elegance, Esprit and Sport. The Sport featured lowered and uprated suspension, alloy wheels, sport seats, a carbon effect dash, leather rimmed steering wheel and a sunroof, being aimed at the more sporting driver.Manufactured in 1999, the C240 Sport offered was supplied new to the United Kingdom, being registered on the 30th June that year. Specified from new with the air conditioning, outside temperature sensor, electric windows all round, speakers front and rear, outside temperature indicator, front folding armrest and the Sports package, the Mercedes is finished in the rare and desirable Vivianite Green with Black cloth interior upholstery.
