Blue paper forgery.- Cato (Marcus Porcius), Marcus Terentius Varro, Junius Moderatus Columella and Rutilius Taurus Palladius. Libri de re rustica, collation: *4 A-E8 F10 a-z8 A-O8, italic type, woodcut printer's device to title, A1 and verso of otherwise blank final f., woodcut illustrations and diagrams, initial spaces with guide-letters, on white paper washed blue in 19th century, possibly at the time of rebinding, 19th century vellum, spine richly gilt and with red and black calf labels, lightly soiled, 8vo (192 x 126mm.), [Venice], House of the heirs of Aldus & Andreas Torresani, 1533. ⁂ This copy offers striking evidence of the 19th-century vogue for copies of books printed on blue paper, which were sought by many collectors as desiderable curiosities, and in turn led to the production of skilful forgeries. In the case of this Aldine it would seem most likely that Italy was the source of the forgery, given that the vellum binding is also typically Italian. The volume is in fact described in the sale catalogue of the library of its first known owner, Sir John Hayford Thorold, as a perfectly genuine blue paper copy, "printed on Blue Paper, gilt vellum, extremely rare, if not unique". It was bought by Henry Richards Luard, as evinced by a loosely insrted letter dated 3 January 1885 and signed by John K. Ingram of Trinity College in Dublin, to whom Luard had turned, seeking information about other copies of Aldus' De re rustica on blue paper. Like Thorold, Luard was fully convinced he owned a true treasure, and the volume is also described as a genuine blue paper copy in the sale catalogue of his library, sold at Sotheby's in 1891. Provenance: Sir John Hayford Thorold (1773-1831; The Syston Park Library. Catalogue of an Important Portion of the Extensive & Valuable Library of the Late Sir John Hayford Thorold, Bart. Removed from Syston Park, Lincolnshire, which Will be Sold at Auction, Sotheby, Wilkinson & Hodge, London 1884, lot 1719); Henry Richards Luard (1825-1891; Catalogue of the valuable library of the late Rev.

Cato (Marcus Porcius), Varro, Columella & Palladius. Scriptores rei rusticae, 4 parts in 1, editio princeps, collation: [*14] a-b10 c8 d-f10 g8 h6 i-k10 l-z8 A-C8 D12 E-F8 G-K10], 282 leaves (of 302 leaves, lacking the four blank leaves a1, h6, i1, D8, the quire *14, with Enarrationes vocum priscarum in libris De rustica and letter addressed to Petrus Priolus both by Georgius Merula, and leaves D6-D7 Merula's letter addressed to Dominicus Georgius), this copy with Cato's De re rustica bound at end, text in single column, 40 lines, type: 115R, 115Gk, blank spaces for capitals with guide letters, a few initials supplied in red and grey, several leaves in middle with signs of damp removed by washing, with some light smudging, but generally clean and free of foxing and soiling, red straight-grain morocco by Roger Paine, covers within two frames of gilt fillets, smooth spine decorated by gilt fillets, title and imprint lettered in gilt, marbled pastedowns and flyleaves, vellum flyleaves, inner gilt dentelles, pale grey silk bookmark, gilt edges, recto of front vellum flyleaf with some notes in Michael Wodhull's hand referring to the presence of this edition in other celebrated 18th-century private libraries such as those owned by Louis Gaignat (lot 1526) and Louis César de La Baume Le Blanc, duc La Vallière (lot 1509), folio (315 x 217 mm.), Venice, Nicolaus Jenson, 1472.⁂ The celebrated editio princeps of "the most important classical first edition that Jenson produced" (Lowry, Jenson, p. 68). This Venetian edition includes the first editions of the four Roman agricultural writers Cato, Varro, Columella, and Palladius. Only the tenth Book of Columella's Re rustica, entirely devoted to gardening, had a separate circulation in the 15th century and was possibly previously printed in Rome in 1471. The texts of the agricultural treatises by Cato, Varro, and Columella were edited by the renowned humanist Giorgio Merula (1430-1494), on the basis of a codex at that time in the St. Marco Library and now lost, in which Varro's Re Rustica breaks off, as here, after chapter 17.4 of the third Book. Franciscus Colucia, apparently active at Jenson's printing house as a proof reader, was given Palladius' Opus agriculturae to edit. This copy once belonged to the well-known collector Michael Wodhull. On the front flyleaf he annotated the acquisition date of the volume "April 28th 1791", and the price paid of 10 guineas. He purchased the volume from the celebrated Bibliotheca Parisiana, which was sold in London by James Edwards at the end of March 1791. In fact, a marked up copy of the sale catalogue shows that the volume, bound in red morocco, was indeed sold for £10.10s, and purchased, on Wodhull's behalf, by the London bookseller Payne. This copy lacks only paratextual or additional sections like Merula's Enarrationes vocum priscarum in libris De rustica, often wanting in recorded copies. The last complete copy was sold at Christie's New York in 1997.

This fine volume passed through the hands of several famous bibliophiles, such as Dimitrij Petrovič Burturlin, formerly director of the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, and later resident in Florence, where he possibly purchased this copy. In August 1839 the Parisian sale of his impressive library was announced by the Journal de la Librairie: "Il sera vendu, vers la fin de l'année, la magnifique bibliothèque de feu M. le comte de Boutourlin, composée de plus de vingt-cinq mille volumes [...]On peut affirmer que depuis la vente Mac-Carthy, il n'a pas été livré aux enchères, en France, une collection de livres rares et de manuscrits, comparable à la bibliothèque de M. de Boutourlin; elle est des plus riches en éditions du quinzième siècle". The copy was later acquired by another distinguished book collector, the renowned Dante scholar Lord Vernon, one of the leading figures in the Anglo-Florentine community. Very scarce on the market.Provenance: bookplates of the following: Russian senator and diplomat Count Dimitrij Petrovič Buturlin (1763-1829; see Catalogue de la bibliothèque de feu M. le Comte D.

1977 Kawasaki Z750, 745 cc. Registration number VAT 745S. Frame number KZ750B-025141. Engine number KZ750BE025149. Introduced in 1976 and produced until 1983, the KZ750 was the odd-man-out in Kawasaki's lineup, especially considering the new bikes Kawasaki had planned for 1977, which included the 4-cylinder KZ650 and KZ1000. Before the onslaught of big triples and fours, the 750cc category was pretty much defined by vertical twins like the Royal Enfield Interceptor, Norton Commando and Triumph Bonneville. Looked at from this light, Kawasaki's move made sense. While the days of Rule Britannia were over, there was still a sizeable community of riders who wanted a big twin. For that group, the new fours were too much. They had two too many cylinders, too many camshafts, too many carburetors and too many spark plugs. For these riders, the best bike was not defined by quarter-mile performance, it was defined by ease of maintenance and dependability. And on that score, the KZ750 delivered was thoroughly up-to-date. The 55 horsepower, 745 cc twin had double overhead cams, shim and bucket valve adjustment, a Morse Hy-Vo primary drive chain and a five speed gearbox. The biggest accolades were reserved for its dependability. Thanks to its simple but robust construction, the KZ750 earned a reputation for rock solid dependability, owners piling on the miles with little more than routine maintenance. Kawasaki had gambled that there was a market for a simple, reliable big twin, and they were right. By 1978, the 750 twin was Kawasaki's fourth biggest seller in the U.S., and it remained so until the end of the decade. VAT was registered on the 13th October 1977 and has lead a sheltered life; in June of 2004, a Terence Wilkinson of Goole owned it for a short period as our vendor bought it from Fielders Motorcycles of Goole later in the month, the mileage was just over 21,000. He rode it for a couple of years, the last MOT being at 23,426 miles in August 2007. The mileage is now an amazing 23,456 unless it changes a bit with moving in the saleroom!! Sold with the V5C, various MOT's and an invoice, it will require re commissioning before use.

Victorian Royal Engineers Officer’s Sword of Major General Sir John William Gordon CBEThe sword is by Wilkinson of London, the blade is numbered 6526, which is repeated to the original brass scabbard. The slightly curved blade with etched decoration of crowned VR cypher and the regimental title. Cutler’s details to the forte. The hilt fitted with brass foliage pierced guard conforming to the 1857 pattern. Housed in original brass scabbard. Clean condition.It is interesting to note that the number of the blade indicates the date 1855, two years prior to the introduction of the hilt pattern. It is presumed that the General returned the sword to Wilkinson for conversion to the new pattern, this could explain the unusual feature of a numbered scabbard.Major General Sir John William Gordon KBE was born in 1814. He received a Commission in the Royal Engineers in 1833. He saw early service in Bermuda and at the time of the Crimea War had obtained the rank of Captain and was one of the first engineering officers to land with the invasion of the Crimea. He saw service at the Alma and Inkermann. In the trenches before Sebastopol, he came into his own, although still only a Captain was appointed Chief Engineer under the command of Field Marshal Burgoyne. Promoted Brevet Major in December 1854, he was always to be found in the front line trenches, he became popular with the troops earning the nickname “Old Fireworks”. He was wounded during a Russian sortie on the trenches in March 1855, but quickly returned to his duty. He was forced to return to England later that year due to his wounds. He was made a CB and appointed an ADC to the Queen. He would serve as Adjutant General Royal Engineers from 1856 to 1861 and with this post felt it important to upgrade his sword to the new regulation pattern. He was promoted to Major General in 1868 and a KCB. He was appointed Inspector General of Fortifications, however at this time he was in failing health partly due to his old wounds and stress, a fellow officer wrote that he feared he was close to a nervous breakdown. Gordon was man who had always put duty first, now felt he was letting his corps down and took his own life on the 8th February 1870.Attribution by vendor
