WALTER STEPHENS LETHBRIDGE, (United Kingdom, 1771-1831)."Portrait of a boy with a dog", ca. 1800.Watercolor on ivory.Signed on the back.Measurements: 6.5 x 9 cm; 15.5 x 13.5 cm (frame).Miniaturist trained at the Royal Academy in London, where he began to exhibit annually his works in which appeared characters and theatrical celebrities of the time.In this work, a child wearing a white dress with a low neckline and a blue ribbon is shown seated in the middle of an intimate scene in which a natural landscape can be glimpsed on the left. The infant is accompanied by a dog that stands on his legs as a symbol of fidelity and trust. Miniature painting, especially portraits, developed in Europe from the 16th century onwards. They were mainly paintings embedded in objects such as medallions, table clocks, or small boxes used as a coat of arms. They were made in a variety of techniques, such as oil on copper, tin or ivory, gouaches on parchment or cardboard and, from the 18th century, watercolor on ivory. This delicate art will be lost from the second half of the nineteenth century as the art of photography begins to develop.

Newton's Principia Mathematica.- Pfautz (Christoph) Acta Eruditorum Anno M DC LXXXVIII, 13 engraved plates, most folding, woodcut initials, ink stamp to title, bookplate to title verso, occasional spotting, including to plates, some light offsetting, library label to front pastedown, contemporary vellum, spine toned, 4to, Leipzig, J. Grossium and J.F. Gleditsch, 1688.⁂ This edition of the Acta includes a first edition of the important early review of Newton's 'Principia' (1687); pp. 303-315. Of the four reviews which had appeared by the end of 1688, this review in the Acta was the most detailed, and was comprehensive enough to provide many in Europe without access to the Principia itself with a fairly full account of its contents (Gjertsen, Newton Handbook, 1986, p. 472), almost in the style of an extended table of contents. The Acta review is anonymous, but evidence now supports identification of the author as Christoph Pfautz (1645-1711), who being a professor of mathematics at the University of Leipzig, was able to grasp the principal features of Newton's treatment of limits, and to appreciate the significance of the purely mathematical features of Newton's presentation. Pfautz's review gained contemporary fame when it was cited by Leibniz in his own article, 'Tentamen de Motuum Coelestium Causis', in the Acta in 1689. This volume of the Acta also contains three articles by the physicist Denis Papin (1647-1713), two articles by the astronomer Gottfried Kirch (1639-1710) and three articles by the mathematician Jakob Bernoulli (1655-1705).

Astronomy.- Wing (John, surveyor and almanac maker, of Pickworth, Rutland, nephew of Vincent Wing, astronomer, astrologer, and land surveyor, 1619-68, bap. 1662, d. 1726) Scientia Stellarum. Calculations and Observations Compared Proving the Excellent agreement of these tables with the Heavens at all times Especially in this Age As the observations... plainly demonstrates as I Received them from the hands of that unparallel'd observator Mr John Flamsteed, and are here exposed with their Calculations..., [taken from additional title at end], 3 parts in 1, manuscript text and tables, together c. 247pp., mostly in 1 hand, signature at beginning of "Thomas Waring" and a few additional notes and calculations at beginning and end in two other hands, ?lacks 2ff. at beginning (?general title), 2ff. blanks with notes loose, some other ff. working loose, browned, original calf, some slight surface wear, rubbed and creased, 8vo, dated in text 1693.⁂ "... that unparallel'd observator Mr Flamsteed."Comprising: the first part text, second part "A Table of Logistical Logarithms", and third part "Scientia Stellarum Containing New Astronomical Tables For the Attaining of the true Longitude & Latitude of the Planets... ."Dated in text to 1693 Scientia Stellarum was published as a supplement to John Wing's Art of Surveying, a new version of his uncle Vincent Wing's work of the same name. In terms of dating this manuscript, there are several examples designed to aid study of the stars by calculating astronomical events which will occur in 1694. The calculations in another hand at end date from 1701 to 1732 while not by Wing, must have some connection as one of the calculations relates to the latitude of Pickworth, the home of John Wing. The printed text and this manuscript generally conform, with very similar chapter headings, but with some differences in phrasing and paragraphs. The manuscript runs to Chapter 13, the printed work stops at Chapter 11. There follows c. 100 pages of of tables of logarithms, which do not appear to correlate to those in the printed book.Scientia Stellarum, a reworking of Wing's abandoned Astronomia nova Britannica which he "published despite John Flamsteed's warning that it was itself full of crude errors." - Oxford DNB.

It was written c. 1460 in Bruges and partly decorated then in the style connected with Willem Vrelant, with three of the full-page miniatures (f 93v, 107v & 133v) and many of the borders, with fruit, flowers &c on fine hairline stems, dating from this period. About 30 years later, four more full-page in borders containing brightly coloured flowers, fruit, and foliage on liquid gold grounds (f 17v, 25v, 41v & 50v) were inserted on added sheets and most of the small miniatures were repainted or added in previously blank spaces.The full-page miniatures depict: (f 17v) a lady kneeling before the Virgin and Child in a gothic interior, with angels above, the border includes a bird and an armoured figure fighting a snail, (f 25v) God the Father enthroned in the clouds, folding the body of Christ, with two angels, above a landscape, the border includes at the foot a woman admiring herself in a mirror, (f 41v) the Crucifixion with the Virgin, two other saints and three soldiers at foot, in a landscape with a city behind, the border includes two armoured figures jousting on snails, (f 50v) The Virgin and Child enthroned in the sky, with two angels, above a landscape including a river and a city, the border includes a bagpipe player, (f 93v) the Last Supper, at a round table in a gothic interior, John lying on Christ's lap, Judas holding a purse, the border includes birds, a snail and half-length figures of a man and a woman, (107v) the Virgin and other saints praying at the foot of the (empty) cross, a landscape behind, the border includes a bird and two half-length figures, (f 133v) the crucified Christ displaying his wounds to five kneeling figures in a gothic interior, the border including a rabbit, two grotesques and a half-length woman crowning a bird with a human face. The small miniatures and historiated initials include (f 23v, 55r & 69r) Virgin and Child, (f36r) the Scourging, (f59r & 76r) St George and the Dragon, (64r St Bernard, with crozier and book), (67r) St Katherine, (68r) St Barbara; (f 85r Blessed Sacrament), (f 100r-103r) seven small miniatures of different flowers, perhaps replacing the Wounds of Christ, (f103v) Coronation of the Virgin, (f126r) St Jerome and the lion, (f131r) St John the Evangelist, (f141r) St Christopher carrying the Child, (f144r) Christ before Pilate, (f146r) an angel, (f147r) St Adrian, (f147v) St Anthony, (f148v St Elizabeth, (f150r) Nativity of the Virgin.

(2) Nineteenth-century armorial bookplate of the Dutch family of Doedes, with motto 'Sublimia curo', perhaps the scholar Jacobus Izaak Doedes (1817-1897).

(4) Sotheby's, 7 December 2004, lot 46, bought privately by the present owner.
