The Baronet's Badge worn by Sir F. H. Newnes, 2nd Baronet Newnes of Wildcroft, a leading turn of the century newspaperman and Liberal politician, son of the 'Founding Father of Popular Journalism' Sir George NewnesBaronet's neck Badge, silver-gilt and enamel, the reverse inscribed 'Newnes of Wildcroft 1895', hallmarked for London 1929, good very fine, in its fitted case of issue[C.B.E.] London Gazette 10 June 1954.Frank Hillyard Newnes was born in Manchester, the son of Sir George Newnes and his wife Priscilla. His father was a Liberal Politician and founder of the publisher George Newnes Ltd., his periodicals Tit-bits and The Strand Magazine are considered forerunners of Modern Popular journalism. The younger Newnes attended Clare College, Cambridge and graduated with an M.A. and L.L.B. in 1897.He joined his father's publisher that same year and worked there for many years, also following him into politics to become the Liberal M.P. for Bassetlaw, North Nottinghamshire in 1906. He managed to take the seat from the Conservatives however lost it again in the next election in January 1910. The same year his father died and Newnes inherited the baronetcy as well as the publishing business.Newnes married Emmeline de Rutzen, the daughter of Sir Albert de Rutzen, Chief Metropolitan Magistrate at Bow Street, in 1913. After the outbreak of the Great War the next year he decided to join up, being commissioned Sub-Lieutenant in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve in 1915. He did not remain in that service however, transferring to the Army and being advanced Captain with the 12th Battalion, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire Regiment. Notably he did not see any service entitling him to Campaign medals, as such this badge is his only named entitlement.After the war Newnes became Director of a number of companies in the publishing trade, as well as Chairman of Country Life Ltd. He was the Director of his father's publication, The Westminster Gazette, a Liberal newspaper which Prime Minister Gladstone allowed to be decorated with the Party's green colours, leading to it being dubbed 'Pea-Green Incorruptible'.Outside of the political and publishing worlds, Newnes was deeply involved in matters of public health. He joined the Voluntary Hospitals Committee for London and was a member of the management committees of the Royal Free Hospital and its Medical School. He also became Chairman of the Post-Graduate Institute of Dental Surgery and the Eastern Dental Hospital, the latter being the reason for his award of the C.B.E. Furthermore, he was President of the Printers Pension Corporation and Vice President of the Periodical Proprietors Association.Newnes later died in Western Australia on 10 July 1955; sold together with copied research including a biography of Sir George Newnes (the recipient's father).…

The magazine was founded by Gustav Klimt and Max Kurzweil and designed primarily by Koloman Moser, with the architects Josef Hoffmann and Joeph Maria Olbrich among the group's members and contributors. Poems by Rainer Maria Rilke appeared in 1898 and 1899 issues while the March 1898 issue was devoted to Klimt, Alphonse Mucha designed the cover for November, and the December issue was illustrated by Fernand Khnopff. Paul Kersten (1865-1943) was the pioneer of modern German bookbinding. Having trained at his grandfather's bindery in Glauchau he worked for H.Sperling in Leipzig and the Buntpapierfabrik A.G. in Aschaffenburg, for whom he designed decorated papers. He introduced Art Nouveau into German bookbinding and became a skilled teacher of the craft to many, including Otto Dorfner.

Fortunino Matania RI (1881-1963) Italian The Muse Signed, mixed media, together with a collection of further sketches to include a range of studies depicting the female form, portraits and figurative subject matter, 33cm by 53cm, various other sizes, all unframed (a collection)Provenance: From a collection of sketches and drawings from the studio of Fortunino Matania Private Collection, North YorkshireThe son of the artist Eduoardo Matania, Fortunino studied in his father’s studio in Naples. He soon showed himself to be a child prodigy in the field of drawing and painting and Matania is recorded as saying: “I can’t remember when I first held a brush.”In assisting his father with his illustrations intended for the periodical “L’ Illustrazione Italiana” his proficiency and talent was soon recognised in wider circles and Matania was producing his own illustrations for the magazine from 1895-1902. Before moving to Britain, he worked as a travelling artist for magazines in Italy, Germany, France and England and in 1902, he was awarded a great honour in becoming the official artist for the Coronation of Edward VII for The Graphic magazine. Once in London, Matania was keen to produce works which were inspired by the world around him and driven by this he produced an unbelievably large, diverse and highly skilled output of work over more than 40 years, which appeared in The Graphic, The Sphere, Illustrated London News Britannia and Eve, and other instructive publications such as Look and Learn, towards the end of his career. A contemporary quote of the time referred to his endeavours as “intensely energetic and hard-working, always on the spot, his pictures were far more vivid than the artists who drew from their reports”Aged 22, Matania had a brief time away from London when he took military service with the Bersaglieri, in Italy, even here he had a studio appointed to him and he produced six large paintings for display within the Garrison. It was after his army service that he returned to London and it was in 1911 that he was given the illustrious assignment as guest of George V at the Delhi Durbar (Indian Court) when he and his queen were installed as King – Emperor and Queen Empress. His association with the King and Queen Mary continued also evidently past this time and it is known that works by him formed part of the collection of HM Queen Mary. By 1914 Matania became a war artist and he was in the trenches many times drawing from life to ensure that his paintings were realistic renditions. He is quoted as saying “After it was over I realised drawings of innocuous functions would not appeal, photography had made great strides so I turned to something else, the reconstruction of historical events”.It was from this time that Matania determinedly sought to depict historical scenes, often of a Classical nature and intended for the publication Britannia and Eve. Matania went to enormous lengths to ensure that all aspects of the design were absolutely historically correct and applied a meticulous approach to detail. Matania exhibited his Roman interiors at the Royal Academy, Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours (becoming a member of the latter in 1917) and several other locations. He strove to depict faithful reproductions, which he achieved through the rigorous study of the subject, by accurately reconstructing the furniture found in the buried city, and with the addition of appropriate models; his studio transformed into Ancient Rome.His talent and success as an illustrator encouraged a number of commissions for advertising posters and catalogues and he produced work for companies such as Ovaltine and Burberry’s (see lot 1005).The artistic output of this remarkable artist seems truly endless. In his pursuit of his ideals, Matania stood alone amongst his contemporaries, he employed a resourcefulness rarely matched and always remained true to his notion of beauty and realism.

Helen G Blake Here we sit, 2025 Ink and coloured pencil on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Helen Blake is an artist whose practice focuses on colour; engaging with rhythm and formalism, chance and deliberation. Using a working method where process and contemplation guide the evolution of the work, she constructs overtly hand-made drawings and paintings which record and examine colour conversations within accumulating pattern structures, embracing accidents, flaws and discrepancies within their rhythms.

T.L.S., Kandinsky, one page, oblong 8vo, Berlin-Sëdende, 17th July 1933, to [Andre] de Ridder, in French. Kandinsky attached the greatest importance to his correspondent and Editor´s publication "Chronique de la Vie Artistique" which special edition of July 1933 was dedicated to his person, and forwards several addresses of important bookstores in London and Berlin which wish to receive copies of the publication, stating `The Mayor Gallery à Londres m´écrit, qu´une librairie prendra ferme 20 exemplaires du Cahier "Kandinsky"... Je ne me souviens plus, si je vous ai communiqué qu´une Galerie de Berlin veut prendre 10 exemplaires ferme...´ (Translation: "The Mayor Gallery in London writes to me that a bookshop will take 20 copies of the publication "Kandinsky" ... I don't remember if I told you that a Berlin Gallery wants to take 10 copies...") Further, Kandinsky refers to the editorials situation, saying `La crise est grave et personne n´a le courage de prendre plus. L´amérique c´est toujours un pays oú on vend encore des tableaux. J´ai prié de de me communiquer des adresses des librairies américaines... Mais ça dure toujours très longtemps avec les réponses sur les lettres qu´on envoie en Amérique!...´ (Translation: "The crisis is serious and no one has the courage to take more. America is still a country where paintings are still sold. I asked for the addresses of American bookstores... But it always takes a long time with the answers to the letters we send to America!...") Further again, and before concluding, Kandinsky asks his correspondent to forward to him the addresses of the people who are sending their tributes.

Graves (Robert) & William Nicholson, editors. The Owl [&] The Winter Owl. A Miscellany, 3 vol.

Originally the brainchild of Graves’s father-in-law, William Nicholson, it was agreed that Graves would take on the role of literary editor, while Nicholson would select the illustrators and, more importantly, fund the publication. At this early stage of his career, Graves’s literary preferences were strongly influenced by his connection to the Georgian poetic movement, which shaped his selection of contributors. He chose to exclude the more radical literary voices of the time (Eliot and Pound - avid critics of the Georgian conservative ventures), and instead favoured the well-established writers such as Thomas Hardy, J.

He was interned at Hutchinsons Camp on the Isle of Man from 1940, where he organised exhibitions featuring refugee artists such as Kurt Schwitters. Prevented from working in public art institutions after his release, he dedicated himself to collecting and researching maps, ethnographic works, and lithographs, meticulously cataloguing his acquisitions. He sourced items from Sotheby’s, Christie’s, and antique dealers, prioritising historical significance and conducted extensive provenance research at the British Library. His archive, including records and ephemera from his time in internment, is now held at the Tate Gallery.

PHILOMENA TONTINE SOCIETY A.D. 1861,27cm high (2) Footnote: The Tontine societies originated in the C17th became very popular in the C18th and especially in the first half of the C19th, combining features of a group annuity with a kind of mortality lottery. Each subscriber paid a sum into a trust and thereafter received a periodical payout. As members died, their payout entitlements devolved to the other participants, and so the value of each continuing payout increased until the death of the final member when the scheme would have usually been wound up. *Condition: Good condition.

MONTESQUIEU, Charles de Secondat de la Brède. De l'Esprit des Loix. Ou du rapport que les loix doivent avoir avec la constitution de chaque gouvernement, les moeurs, le climat, la religion, le commerce, etc. … Tome Premier [-Second]Genève, Barillot et fils, s.d. [Paris, Laurent Durand, 15-20 janvier 1749]2 volumes in large 4to. 252x190 mm. Contemporary fawn calf, spine ribbed with title, gilt volume number and ornaments, polychrome marbled end-papers, red edges. Pages [8], XXIV, 522, [1, Errata], 1 blank; [4], 564. Woodcut vignette on the Titlepages, Tail-pieces, Roman Type. Traces of wear on binding, internally some yellowing and sporadic foxing, unsophisticated copy. First issue of the first counterfeit edition and first edition printed in France. It is therefore the second edition of Montesquieu's philosophical masterpiece, printed in Paris immediately after the original Geneva edition, published in November 1748. This pirated edition is distinguished by some small differences from the original edition and contains the same numbering errors as the pages of the Preface: however, an « r » is missing in « Barrillot » and the name is followed by a comma. There are three issues of the pirated edition: only the first contains, as in this example, the Errata sheet at the end of the first volume. Within two years of its publication, Montesquieu's treatise on political liberty had achieved such popularity that he, as Gebelin reports, wrote: “Il y a vingt-deux éditions de mon ouvrage répandeus dans toutes l'Europe.”The book aroused enormous controversy and its author was accused of atheism in the pages of the influential Jensenist periodical "Nouvelles Ecclésiastiques". Despite his "Défense", published in 1750, Montesquieu's work was placed on the Index in 1751. The pirated editions, however, do not have the 14 cancellations imposed by the censor in the original. A study by the Bibliotheque Diderot de Lyon finds that this edition plays an important role in the history of the book because it is mainly through this edition that Montesquieu's text became known in the 18th century. [… il a une place importante dans l’histoire du livre car c’est principalement par cette édition que fut connu le texte de Montesquieu au XVIIIe siècle.]
