NO RESERVE Laennec (René Théophile Hyacinthe) Traité de l'Auscultation Médiate et des Maladies des Poumons et du Coeur, 2 vol., second edition, half-titles, 4 double-page engraved plates, vol.2 with final blank, plates with numbers shaved and light offsetting, occasional foxing and slight browning to text, light water-staining at beginning and end, mostly marginal but affecting lower outer corner of plates, old ink stamp to titles, contemporary ink signature of Dr.H.Goudet to front free endpapers, original half green cloth, very slightly rubbed, [cf.PMM 280, first edition of 1819], 8vo, Paris, 1826.⁂ A classic of medical history, containing the first description of Laennec's ground-breaking invention of the stethoscope. This was the greatest advance in physical diagnosis between Auenbrugger's percussion and Roentgen's discovery of X-rays. Laennec used his new tool to study the sounds made by the movements of the heart and lungs, and from this work stems our modern knowledge of diseases of the chest. This second edition, the last edited by Laennec himself, is considerably altered and enlarged from the first edition of 1819 with each disease described in detail, making it "the most important treatise on diseases of the thoracic organs ever written" (Garrison, History of Medicine, p. 412).

The aircraft was flying from Roubaix to attack RAF Gravesend when it failed to pick up the Knickebein navigation beam and instead tried to find the targets by dead reckoning. The crew further hampered by the loss of electrical power could not operate the wireless. They became hopelessly lost and after jettisoning the bombs flew east in the hope they would fly over the Netherlands. They thought they were over the Netherlands and were unable to locate an airfield to land and bailed out. In fact, they were over East Anglia and all crew survived but were quickly captured.The items were recovered during an excavation by Malcolm Pettit in the 1990s.See lot 432, 461 and 487.

ZHANG HUAN (b.1965)Untitled, 2006Ink on paper, framed. 119cm long x 80cm wide (46 3/4in long x 31 1/2in wide).Footnotes:張洹（1965年生） 無題 水墨紙本 鏡框 2006年作Provenance: Galerie Volker Diehl, BerlinSotheby's Hong Kong, 4 April 2016, lot 581 (part lot)Published, Illustrated and Exhibited: Chinese Ink Paintings Now, New York, 2010, p.234.來源：Galerie Volker Diehl, 柏林香港蘇富比，2016年4月4日，拍品編號581（部分拍品）Zhang Huan was born in Anyang, Henan Province in 1965. He is an internationally recognised artist whose versatility is evident in performance, photography, sculpture, and installation.After graduating from Henan University, Kaifeng, and teaching art and art history for three years, Zhang moved to Beijing in 1991. He studied oil painting at the Central Academy of Fine Arts. Actively involved in the avant-garde while living in the famous Beijing East Village, a dilapidated cluster of houses inhabited by young artists in the early 1990s, Zhang moved away from classical art in 1992 and started his signature performances that explore how the body could be a material for art. He continued his performances involving feats of endurance after he moved to New York in 1998 and soon earned international recognition. A survey exhibition was held in New York at Asia Society in 2008.Since moving to Shanghai in 2006 and opening a large studio, Zhang Huan has also explored the possibilities of ink, which he had studied in college. His works in ink and acrylic, or simply ink on paper are visual metaphors of a persistent theme in all of his art, namely the question of the nature of reality and the power of culture. In one untitled work of 2006, for instance, the face of a naked male figure, almost submerged in water, is obliterated by blotches of ink and a horse is placed on his shoulders. It is another example of Zhang Huan's interpretation of the body as a tool which can amplify one's understanding of life; see U.Grosenick and C.H.Schubbe, China Artbook, Cologne, 2007, pp.595-599.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: W TPW Lot is located in the Bonhams Warehouse and will only be available for collection from this location.TP For auctions held in Scotland: Lots will be moved to an offsite storage location (Constantine, Constantine House, North Caldeen Road, Coatbridge ML5 4EF, Scotland, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

A GOLD AND GEM-SET BRACELET, BY ROY KING, Circa 1960The mesh-link bracelet, the clasp set with circular-cut emeralds and sapphire accented with brilliant-cut diamonds, mounted in 18K gold, with maker's mark 'RCK' for Roy King,  London hallmarks, length 20.5cmRoy King was an admired and celebrated jewellery and watch designer who stands out as one of the great innovators of 20th Century British design. After a turbulent childhood King became an apprentice at the Hatton Garden jewellery firm MJ Greengross at only 14 years old in 1927. During this time King became adept at mounting diamonds and began to learn the mechanics of jewellery-making.This artistic education was somewhat disrupted with the Second World War, during which King worked as a planning engineer in an aeroplane factory. King climbed the ranks and led a department of 100 workers, while also learning complex tool techniques. This wartime experience was translated into the design and manufacture of jewellery, with King making uncredited pieces for Rolex, Cartier, Asprey, and Garrard in the latter half of the 1930s.King continued on to build his own company with a factory in Watford, Hertfordshire. He designed a plethora of jewellery pieces and was honoured with tie pins and five strawberry-leaf tiaras being worn at Queen Elizabeth II’s Coronation in 1953. In 1965 King built a new factory and increased output of his work to an impressive 25,000 gold and silver pieces a year. In addition to mass production, the brand also played with aesthetic design, with their “bark finish” rings, bracelets, and watches being very popular. As a result, Pattie Boyd chose a “bark finish” wedding ring for her marriage to Beatle George Harrison in 1966. Lot 83, with its circular-cut emeralds and sapphires also shows King’s ability to create an exciting and pleasing piece.The brand continued to grow and flourish, acquiring in particular more space in the watch market. King was therefore celebrated in exhibitions at Goldsmith’s Hall such as a 1984 solo show and being included in the 1999 Treasures of the 20th Century exhibit.Condition Report: Clasp secureNormal signs of wear, overall in good conditionTotal gross weight approx. 75g
