Indeed, his favourite treat as a child was to be taken to St Paul's Cathedral, where he would wander for hours.In 1944 he entered the Architectural Association and qualified at a time of rapid post-war reconstruction, when the lack of building materials forced architects to use industrialised prefabrication techniques and poor design, (in Barker's opinion) prevailed. Frustrated, he drifted into working for MGM, creating film sets. He finally found his niche at the Historic Buildings Division of what was then the London County Council (LCC). After years of working with modernists it was a relief to Barker to find an office where his "young fogeyism" was welcome. He enjoyed working under WA Eden, the Surveyor of Historic Buildings, who was dedicated completing the work of the architect and reformer CR Ashbee, who had listed all the buildings that should be preserved within 20 miles of the Aldgate Pump. This idea became the 'Survey of London' and Barker took over when Eden retired in 1970. The LCC became the GLC and Barker became the head of the Historic Building Commission, working on an advisory committee with notables such as Sir John Betjeman, Sir John Summerson, Sir Osbert Lancaster and Sir Hugh Casson.In 1986, he was appointed head of the London Division of English Heritage.

Love, John Geodaesia: or, the Art of Surveying and measuring of Land Made Easie. Printed for John Taylor, at the Ship in S. Paul's Church-Yard, 1688. 8vo, full early calf, paper label to spine; pp. [4 (Title, verso blank, Dedication, Licence)], [8 (Preface)], [10 (Contents)], [2 (Catalogue)], 196, [10 (Table of the Northing, Southing, Easting or Westing of every Degree from the Meridian)], [24 (Table of Sines and Tangents)], [8 (Log Tables)]; title printed in red and black, numerous figures and illus to text, letterpress tables. First edition. John Love was an English land surveyor who travelled to the New World around 1680. He worked surveying grants for settlers in the Carolinas and, with Maurice Matthews, produced an early map of the area. He noted the lack of knowledge of local surveyors and wrote one of the first practical guides on the subject to address the deficiency. The first edition, licensed in 1687 though with a publication date of 1688, was hugely successful. There were 11 English editions before the 12th edition was published in America in 1793. This may well have been the first survey book published in the new United States and Washington certainly studied surveying from the work. The book changed little over publications, its significance lying (according to A.W. Richeson) in Love's care in consider the different conditions for American field work, versus English.

Each of the 25 years has all four programmes making a total of 100 programmes, some with hand written notes and occasional foxing. Acquired from the James Crowden Collection who acquired them from the Graham Ricket Collection. Very good condition. James Gee Pascoe Crowden CVO (14 November 1927 – 24 September 2016) was an English former oarsman who competed for Great Britain in the 1952 Summer Olympics. He was Lord Lieutenant of Cambridgeshire. Crowden was born in Tilney All Saints, near Wisbech in 1927. He grew up in Peterborough and attended King's School before going on to Bedford School. He had his first victory at Henley Royal Regatta in 1946 as part of the school crew which won the Princess Elizabeth Challenge Cup, which that year was presented by the future Queen herself. He then went to Pembroke College, Cambridge. In 1951 he was part of the winning Cambridge boat in the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race in the year when Oxford sank, and the umpire stopped the race and ordered a rerow the following Monday. He went to the United States to compete against American college crews at Yale and Harvard and won Silver Goblets at Henley partnering Brian Lloyd.[3] Also in 1951, he won gold at the European Championships at Mâcon, in France. He was in the Boat Race again in 1952 (as President), when Cambridge lost and he competed in the coxless fours at the 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki. Crowden became the Cambridge crew's coach for the next 20 years. Crowden followed in the family profession, and became a chartered surveyor with a firm of auctioneers. He was High Sheriff of Cambridgeshire and Isle of Ely in 1970 and was Lord Lieutenant of Cambridgeshire from 3 July 1992 to 2002. Crowden was a vice-president of the British Olympic Association and a Steward of Henley Regatta. He was involved with the Cambridgeshire Olympic Committee, and with Peterborough Rowing Club. The two rowing images shown are of Crowden Cambridge winning 1951 Blue Boat. James Crowden is in the three seat and Crowden shaking hands with His Majesty King George VI at a ceremony at King’s College after the Cambridge crew came home from their successful trip to the United States. Note these images are not included but can be found on the internet. The Graham Rickett Collection, being sold following the death last year of Mrs Pamela Rickett. Mrs Rickett and her husband, the late Graham Rickett, were great supporters of rowing at Leander Club, Henley Royal Regatta and of British youth rowing in particular. Mr Rickett rowed at Eton, and later for 3rd Trinity Boat Club, Cambridge, before the outbreak of the Second World War. After distinguished military service in the Far East, he renewed his interest in rowing and became President of Leander Club and a Henley Steward, positions he held for many years. In the family tradition, his brother, the late Harold Rickett, was a former Chairman of Henley Royal Regatta.

Some of the many drawings he made of classical architecture and ornament were published in Etchings of Ancient Ornamental Architecture Drawn from the Originals in Rome and Other Parts of Italy, first issued by Thomas Gardiner in 1799, with second and third editions in 1803 and 1810. After his return to England in 1796, he was commissioned by the MP Edward Foley to design an interior cottage and park gate at Stoke Edith in Herefordshire. Tatham also designed interiors for the Earl of Carlisle at Castle Howard, for the Duke of Bedford at Woburn, and elsewhere. According to John Linnell, who met Tatum at the Keppel Street Baptist church in 1811, He was 'naturally a proud man which appeared unhappily the case in the latter part of his career, for had he but been wise enough to accept commissions for works of inferior size he might have been fully employed, but he stood out for large jobs from the titled great and would not undertake jobs from builders', with the result that he was obliged to abandon his Mayfair home for Alpha Cottage, Alpha Road in Marylebone (where Linnell, Blake, Haydon and Palmer were visitors). The present work appears to represent a proposed new design for the Park Gate at Stoke Edith. Tatham's son Frederick was part of the artistic group The Ancients, centred around Samuel Palmer, and an important follower and supporter of William Blake, while his daughter Julia eloped with the painter George Richmond (with the financial assistance of Samuel Palmer).

English School - early 18th century - of Naval interest, Watercolour on ivory portrait miniature, Portrait of Daniel Furzer (d1719) with his son John Furzer and ship behind - presumably HMS Dover, Indistinctly inscribed verso 'Daniel Furzer Lieut RN H.M. Ship Dover killed in action 1719, & his infant and only son John Furzer', 7cm x 5.25cm, Framed and glazedAccording to family notes this Daniel Furzer (c1719) was the son of Daniel Furzer (d 17th Mar 1715), Surveyor of the Navy to William III and brother to John Furzer who was drowned with HM frigate The Hind in 1721 off Jersey. Daniel Furzer junior married Ann Grey. They had one son John Furzer (d1721), a purser in the Royal Navy in charge of HM Dockyard. Daniel Furzer painted here is recorded as being in service on HMS Dover, which saw action against the Spanish off Cape St Vincent on 9/12/1719. It is presumed that the ship painted in this miniature is HMS Dover. CONDITION REPORT: The frame may not be original to the miniature - it is broken at the top and the bottom and held together by old metal supports, there is also an old chip to the frame. The ivory miniature appears to be ok but lightly grubby. There are some small paint losses to the bottom of the sitters hair and a little to the ship and there is some rubbing to the sea and jacket of the son at 4 and 5 o'clock and similar rubbing to the edge at 7 and 8 o'clock. The backing card and paper to the reverse of the miniature are not original. When viewed from the back it would appear that there is a thin film folded over the edge from the front side - this is only be around the edge of the miniature to hold the glass to the miniature.Trevanion & Dean does not ship items containing ivory or tortoiseshell outside the EU. The government have proposed legislation to create a UK law to ban the sale of all ivory which sources suggest will come into effect between July and October 2019. Please note, this means that this lot is legal to sell now but may not be in the future.

Captain William Dumaresq (1793-1868) and Colonel Henry Dumaresq (1792-1838) "Les Trois Couronnes, Pyrenese, the river Neville in the foreground", watercolour, 22 x 33 cm (8.5 x 13in); together with a watercolour by Agnes Dumaresq, 1887, inscribed verso "Villars, Rhone Valley, Suisse", 12.5 x 17.5 cm (5 x 7in) (2) Provenance: The Dumaresq family and by descent Other Notes: The brothers, Captain William and Colonel Henry Dumaresq, were both stationed in the colony of New South Wales, Australia. William was a brother-in-law to General (Sir) Ralph Darling, who was appointed governor of New South Wales in 1824. While William was enlisted as a civil engineer and Deputy Surveyor General, his brother Henry was Military Secretary to Governor Darling. In return for his services, the latter was granted a 12,000 acre-estate at St. Helier's in Muswellbrook. The identification of the present scene as "Les Trois Couronnes, Pyrenese", on the label to the reverse is therefore probably wrong and it is more likely to be of Australia.

Canada.- Quebec.- Peachey (Attributed to James William, surveyor, draughtsman, army officer, and artist, d. 1797) The Montmorency Falls, with figure drawing in the foreground, watercolour over pencil on J. Whatman laid paper with partial watermark without date, sheet 330 x 505 mm. (13 x 19 7/8 in), faint squaring in pencil for possible transfer, extensive pencil inscription verso by a later hand describing the particulars of the waterfall, noting that the height was taken in 1785, the text initialled 'E.G.G.', minor handling creases with nicks and tears to edges, some surface dirt, unframed, [late 18th century].⁂ The present view closely relates to the etching and aquatint that Peachey produced with John Wells in 1785 [for an example see BL Maps K.Top.119.44.c]. The major difference is that the solo artist sketching in the foreground of the present work is replaced in the aquatint by two men holding fishing rods and looking outwards. Other small alterations in the aquatint can be noted such as removal of the man fishing on the left, yet the figures in the distance on the right are also found in the aquatint. The National Archives of Canada hold another version of the watercolour with slight variations (see MIKAN no.: 2833913).Peachey was a known associate and friend of the young Joseph Bouchette [see subsequent lot], with the two men meeting through the Surveyor General Samuel Johannes Holland (1728-1801); Peachey was assistant to Holland, who was Bouchette's uncle.

Upper Canada.- First Nations.- Bouchette (Lt.-Col. Joseph, Canadian Surveyor-General of British North America, 1774-1841) A Plan of the Province of Upper Canada, manuscript map with decorative title cartouche showing boats of the First Nations people and a wigwam in the upper right corner, the map covers Lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie and Ontario, and includes Fort Defiance (built in 1794), Lake Simcoe (named in 1792), Dundas Street (construction began c. 1791), and the two names for River La Tranche or Thames (officially changed c. 1792), Captain John Deserontyon's settlement at the Bay of Quinte, and General "Mad" Anthony Wayne's Fort Defiance, also with some roads and settlements highlighted in red, pen and grey-black ink, red ink, watercolour wash and traces of pencil on wove paper without watermark, signed 'Jos. Bouchette' in the lower right corner, the additional red ink annotations appear to be by another hand, sheet 450 x 645 mm. (14 3/4 x 25 1/2 in), a 20th century hand suggests an attribution in pencil to 'Edward Baker Littlehales' in the upper left margin, and a suggested date in 1805 in the lower left corner, the sheet has a tear in the lower section of the right hand margin running just into the map, other minor nicks to extremities, folds and handling creases, some surface dirt, unframed, [probably circa 1790-1795].Provenance:James Stevens-Cox (possibly acquired from the same source as the Col. Sir Edward Baker copy of Samuel Hearne's 'A Journey from Prince of Wales's Fort in Hudson's Bay', which featured an early map of Upper Canada, and was sold in these rooms [see Lot 6, 31st May 2018])⁂ An important and early manuscript map by the man who was to become the Canadian Surveyor-General of British North America, showing key settlements of First Nation tribes. Manuscript maps and plans by Joseph Bouchette are exceptionally rare on the open market, with Joan Winearls recording fewer than a dozen known examples in her 1991 Mapping Upper Canada, 1780-1867 ; all of which are in institutional collections. Out of these, even fewer examples are known to be from Bouchette's early career, causing some difficulties quantifying the hand and style of the young man. In March 1790, Bouchette was hired at the Surveyor General's office in Quebec as an assistant draftsman, where he was essentially employed to copy plans. In 1791 he was appointed land surveyor, but shortly after this he chose to enlist in the Provincial Marine where he served for a number of years. During this time his actions met with noted success, as Mrs Simcoe's diaries show.[1] Yet it was not until December 5th 1794 that he resumed his work as a copyist, and it is possible that it was around this point that he produced the present map. The nature of Bouchette's early manuscript maps, in particular the way that pre-existing map sources would have been copied, explains the slight lack of confidence in line and execution found in the present work, as well as the slight variations in their style. The signature in the lower right, several identified locations (London, Dorchester, and Oxford), as well as the view in the upper right appear to be using the same ink and may well indicate the different additions and stages of the map's production. It is noteworthy that the vignette view of Lake Ontario in the upper right corner was later adapted and used in William Faden's engraved map after Bouchette, 'Map of the Provinces of Upper and Lower Canada with adjacent parts of the United States of America', published in 1815, which featured two other engraved vignettes after Bouchette [see David Rumsey Map Collection, list no.: 4431.014]. The engraved vignette after Bouchette shows a slightly different composition, with the boat builders and the wigwam relocated and the trees replaced with a convenient giant rock face. The later engraved vignette also includes the 112-gun warship HMS St Lawrence, which was not in active service on Lake Ontario until 1814, the only Royal Navy ship of the line ever to be launched and operated entirely in fresh water.[1] Mrs Simcoe recalls "In 1793, the 'Onondaga', 12 guns, 80 tons burthen, [...] went ashore [...] After being abandoned, the vessel was pulled off by Mr. Joseph Bouchette. For this act he was promoted second lieutenant in the provincial navy".
