TWO MOUNTED QAJAR NOMINAL SEALS WITH WOMAN'S NAME PROPERTY FROM A PRIVATE GLYPTOLOGY COLLECTOR Qajar Iran, one dated 1292 AH (1875 AD)Each of oval shape, table-cut, made of red carnelian, set in a low-grade silver mount, both central fields inscribed with a single line of elegant cursive Persian nasta'liq script reading the owner's name Masumeh, a maiden's name, set against a dense ground of scrolling rosette sprays, one of the two seals dated 1292 AH (1875 AD).20.27mm x 16.48mm and 21.86mm high with the mount12.35mm x 9.15mm and 12.98mm high with the mount Bearing the same name, floral decorative motifs, and calligraphic style, these two seals are likely to have belonged to the same owner. Nominal seals inscribed with women's names are incredibly rare to see and scarce to find, given also that fewer of them were produced compared to the ones owned by men. It is reasonable to suggest that these seals would have probably once belonged to a well-off, high-class Qajar maiden, who would have used them to stamp documents and to mark her properties. 20.27mm x 16.48mm the largest Qty: 2

Mexiko - - Getrude Duby-Blom. (1901 Wimmis, Schweiz - 1993 San Cristóbal de las Casas, Mexiko). 17 original s/w Photographien. Um 1982. Je Silbergelatineabzug auf Kodak Photopapier. Maße von 24 x 23,5 cm bis 28,9 x 18,7 cm. Punktuell montiert auf modernen Tafeln, lose in einer schwarzen Leinenmappe. Je verso mit Photographenstempel mit der Studioadresse. Vereinzelt wenige Arbeit mit leichten, oberflächlichen Kratzern. Insgesamt sehr gut. Prachtvolle, nuancierte und klare Abzüge. - Seltene Serie alter Photographien über mexikanische Ureinwohner der Schweizer Sozialanthropologin und Dokumentarfotografin, die fünf Jahrzehnte lang die Kulturen der indigenen Maya im Dschungelhochland von Chiapas, Mexiko, und insbesondere die Kultur der Lacandon Maya dokumentierte. Die Landschaften und Porträts zeigen das kulturelle, anthropologische und ökonomische Umfeld, in dem Einzelne und Gruppen der indigenen Maya leben. - Duby-Blom wurde in den späten 1920er Jahren zu einer politischen Aktivistin und entwickelte ein Interesse an Journalismus und Politik. Sie reiste durch Europa, um sich im Namen der Sozialistischen Partei antifaschistisch engagieren. Im Rahmen desen schloss sie sich der internationalen Bewegung gegen Hitlerdeutschland an. Nachdem Blom 1939 verhaftet und in die Schweiz deportiert worden war, wurde sie überraschenderweise feigelassen. Sie schloss sich der Massenauswanderung von Pazifisten, Kommunisten, Arbeiterführern, Künstlern und Juden an und emigriete nach Mexiko. Im Jahr 1943 erhielt sie vom Gouverneur des Bundesstaates Chiapas die Erlaubnis, an einer Regierungsexpedition in die damals abgelegene Lakandonische Dschungelregion nahe der Grenze zu Guatemala teilzunehmen, die sie zu dokumentieren begann. In den frühen 1970er Jahren beunruhigte sie zunehmend die systematische Abholzung von La Selva Lacandona durch Holzfäller, eingewanderte Siedler, die Erdölindustrie und die mexikanische Regierung. Blom beschloss, ihre Stimme zu erheben, und wurde so zu einer der ersten Umweltaktivistinnen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Jahrhunderts. Sie unternahm Vortragsreisen mit Diavorträgen über ihre Dokumentarfotos und reiste durch Mexiko, die Vereinigten Staaten, Deutschland und die Schweiz, um auf die irreparablen Schäden des Urwaldes aufmerksam zu machen. 17 original b/w photographs. Each silver gelatin print on Kodak photographic paper. Spot-mounted to boards, loose in a black linen folder. Each with photographer's stamp with studio address on the verso. - Occasional few works with light, superficial scratches. Overall very good. Splendid, nuanced and clear impressions.- Rare series of old photographs of indigenous Mexicans by the Swiss social anthropologist and documentary photographer, who spent five decades documenting the cultures of the indigenous Maya in the jungle highlands of Chiapas, Mexico, and in particular the culture of the Lacandon Maya. The landscapes and portraits show the cultural, anthropological and economic environment in which individuals and groups of the indigenous Maya live. - Duby-Blom became a political activist in the late 1920s and developed an interest in journalism and politics. She travelled throughout Europe to engage in anti-fascist activities on behalf of the Socialist Party. As part of this, she joined the international movement against Hitler's Germany. After Blom was arrested in 1939 and deported to Switzerland, she was surprisingly released. She joined the mass emigration of pacifists, communists, labour leaders, artists and Jews and emigrated to Mexico. In 1943, she received permission from the governor of the state of Chiapas to take part in a government expedition to the then remote Lacandon jungle region near the border with Guatemala, which she began to document. In the early 1970s, she became increasingly concerned about the systematic deforestation of La Selva Lacandona by loggers, immigrant settlers, the oil industry and the Mexican government. Blom decided to speak out and became one of the first environmental activists of the 20th century. She lived into the twentieth century. She undertook lecture tours with slide shows of her documentary photographs and travelled through Mexico, the United States, Germany and Switzerland to draw attention to the irreparable damage to the jungle.

Mit gestochener Titelvignette, 2 gestochenen Vignetten (davon eine von C. N. Cochin nach François Boucher) und 60 teils mehrfach gefalteten Kupfertafeln. Paris, Patte, 1753. 3 gestochene Textbll. (darunter Titel), Tafeln, 2 Bll. Folio. Ldr. d. Zt. mit reicher ornamentaler RVergoldung und ornamentaler Blindprägung auf Deckeln, Rotschnitt (berieben und bestoßen, teils beschabt). Aus der Bibliothek von Anatole Demidoff, Fürst von San Donato, (1813-1870), mit seinem Sammlerstempel auf dem Titel (Lugt 3669). - Sehr seltene und in der Literatur kaum erwähnte zweite Ausgabe. Erstmals 1745 unter dem Titel "Livre d'architecture" erschienen. Vgl. für die Erstausgabe: Millard I, 30. Brunet I, 1041. Cicognara 440. - Dem Vorwort zufolge besteht das Werk aus denselben Tafeln wie die Erstausgabe "dont on a seulement retranché les Châteaux de Cramayel et d'Haroué, comme peu interessans, l'Architecte ayant été obligé de s'assujetir à des tours anciennement executées... On a aussi rectifié beaucoup de Planches, quantité d'erreurs et d'omissions s'y étaient glissées." - Boffrand (1667-1754) war ein französischer Architekt und einer der wichtigsten Schöpfer des Vorläufers des Rokoko, des sogenannten Régence-Stils, und in seinen Innenräumen auch des Rokoko selbst. In seinen Außenanlagen hielt er sich an einen monumentalen spätbarocken Klassizismus mit einigen Innovationen in der Raumplanung. Die vorliegende Abhandlung diente der Verbreitung des Louis-quinze Stils in ganz Europa. - Nur leicht gebräunt. Vereinzelt etwas fleckig. Insgesamt sehr gut. Architecture - With engraved title vignette, 2 engraved vignettes (one by C. N. Cochin after François Boucher) and 60 copper plates, some folded several times. 3 engraved text fols. (including title), plates, 2 fols. text. Cont. leather with rich ornamental gilt on spine and ornamental blind embossing on covers, red edges (rubbed and bumped, partly scuffed). - From the library of Anatole Demidoff, Prince of San Donato, (1813-1870), with his collector's stamp on the title (Lugt 3669). - Rare second edition, hardly mentioned in the literature. First published in 1745 under the title "Livre d'architecture". - According to the preface, the work consists of the same plates as the first edition "dont on a seulement retranché les Châteaux de Cramayel et d'Haroué, comme peu interessans, l'Architecte ayant été obligé de s'assujetir à des tours anciennement executées... On a also rectifié beaucoup de Planches, quantité d'erreurs et d'omissions s'y étaient glissées." - Boffrand (1667-1754) was a French architect and one of the most important creators of the precursor of the Rococo style, the so-called Régence style, and in his interiors also of the Rococo style itself. In his exteriors, he adhered to a monumental late Baroque classicism with some innovations in spatial planning. The present treatise served to spread the Louis XV style throughout Europe.- Only slightly browned. Some sporadic spotting. Very good overall.

Pokemon TCG. Pokemon Base Set Print Test Setup Sheet. This is an extremely rare uncut Pokemon Sheet and the first known of its kind to be auctioned. This is a print test setup sheet which would have been used for calibration of the press when UK factories first received the job of printing Pokémon cards. What is notable about the cards on this sheet is that as a test print file was used they are in an unlimited print format however they have a 1st edition stamp present. The back of the sheet is blank. The vendor of these sheets worked as an art director in the late 90s and early 2000s. The vendor visited the Paragon Leycol factory which was contracted to print Pokemon cards by Games and Print (who in turn were contracted by Wizards of the Coast to print cards in the UK). On their visit they were gifted the sheets as part of negotiating a contract with Paragon Leycol for printing their materials at the factory. In order to confirm these sheets legitimacy we contacted a previous employee from Games in Print who was able to confirm them as genuine Print Test Setup Sheets. Additionally, we examined the CMYKK rosette printing patterns on the sheet and compared them next to known genuine Pokemon cards (please see images attached) and the printing patterns matched. In the magnified pictures the individual cards are on the left overlapping the full sheet below which is on the right.Condition Report: Sheet has some damage to corners/corner dinks. Some small marks/scuffs and the letter A is written in pen on the bottom corner of the sheet. Colour and vibrancy is excellent.

Property of a deceased's estate1958 Triumph 649cc T120 BonnevilleRegistration no. 505 LPUFrame no. T120 020420Engine no. T120 020420 (non-factory stamp)•Dating from the first day of production•One of the earliest Bonnevilles known to exist•An older restoration•Kept on static displayFirst-of-the-line examples of iconic models are always highly prized by collectors, and none more so than the new-for-1959 Triumph T120 Bonneville, which was introduced in the autumn of 1958 for the forthcoming season. Hurriedly prepared for its debut at the '58 Earls Court Show (it was too late for inclusion in the 1959 catalogue) the 'Bonnie' arrived at a time when young motorcycle enthusiasts wanted style as well as substance and had the money to pay for it. Finished in striking two-tone Tangerine/Pearl Grey with matching mudguards and black cycle parts, the bike was a real looker, and the name 'Bonneville', chosen in honour of Johnny Allen's record-breaking achievements with his Triumph-powered streamliner at the eponymous Utah salt flats, was an inspired piece of marketing.Despatched to dealer J Double in Ilford on 16th September 1958 and first registered at the Chelmsford VRO on 27th September '58, this very early 'Tangerine Dream' Bonneville is from the first batch completed for the home market; thereafter some 85% of production was destined for export. The Bonneville was built to order No.2574 and Invoice No.13600. The 44th example constructed, '020420' is not recorded in the 1959 T120 Register; it is one of the 'first day' (5th September 1958) built T120s and looks to have been restored to a very high standard. There is an unusual issue associated with machines of this period because of a drawing office error recorded in the engine build book. From T120 '020377' to T120 '020441', the production line fitted standard Lucas K2F magnetos but should have fitted K2FC competition magnetos. This error was rectified before final assembly, and this bike has the correct K2FC magneto fitted. The gearbox number is correct, as is the QD rear wheel. The TOMCC cast-alloy machine badge fitted is in the colours of the Club's Ilford branch. The engine, it should be noted, has a non-factory stamped number.The Bonneville was registered to the late vendor on 1st June 2005 but may have been in his possession before that date (there is a Beaulieu entry form dated 2001 on file). An older restoration, the machine is presented in excellent condition overall having been kept on display in the late owner's bedroom and only occasionally brought out for display at events. 'First-year' Bonnevilles are rare, and 'first-day' examples even rarer, making this machine one of the earliest known to exist. Accompanying documentation includes an old/current V5/V5C registration documents.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Sunday 13 October starting at 11am GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
