Lot 87
A Dutch marquetry Hague clock. Unsigned, late 17th century and later. The movement with four baluster-turned pillars pinned through the backplate, the extant single tandem spring drum with two great wheels driving both going and striking trains with outside countwheel, elaborate pierced steel gate and later anchor escapement, (the quarter train lacking), the movement now suspended from a 13.75 inch square white painted Roman numeral dial hinged to the case on the left hand side, with elaborate pierced and engraved brass hands and four-seasons cast spandrels, the pedimented case with parquetry-star behind movement to interior, and foliate trail decorated tympanium above conforming shallow entablature and swollen Corinthian columns with rectangular plinths flanking dial to exterior, the rear with original iron hanging loops, 54cm high. The movement of the current lot, although incomplete, basically dates to around 1680. The tandem barrel was often utilised by Dutch makers at this period but was phased out in favour of the fusee by the last decade of the century. The original dial would have been velvet covered and applied with a pierced brass chapter ring and decorative spandrels. The rear ‘box’ of the case may possibly be original to the movement and retains early features such as the iron hanging loops and parquetry star panel to the interior. The current white painted dial and ‘facade’ of the case probably date to the end of the 18th century.

Crawhall (Joseph) Izaak Walton: His Wallet Booke, signed presentation copy from the author to his daughter, one of 100 large paper copies, hand-coloured woodcut illustrations by the author throughout, linen pockets to pastedowns, as described in previous lot, 3 original poems in Crawhall's hand tipped in, 2pp. A.L.s from Crawhall to Elspeth and 6pp. A.L.s from Thomas Westwood to the author tipped in, pressed leaf preserved in tissue which Crawhall has lettered "from tree over Wordsworth's grave. 1895" loosely inserted in front pouch, related contemporary newspaper cuttings tipped in, copious ink inscriptions to the blank ruled pp. entitled 'Fysshe Stories', lacking associated woodblock, original half vellum, gilt, ties, light soiling, darkened, 4to, Field & Tuer, Leadenhall Press, 1885. *** Ink inscription to title reads "Elspeth Challoner from her father Joseph Crawhall. 1885". The story written on the blank ff., "My first 20-pounder", was written by Rev. Hugh Bellamy in 1895. Crawhall's letter reads "My darling Ess, Just a line to wish you many happy returns ... I wish you to accept "Olde Ffrendes" & the "Wallet booke" as birthday presents - Fred will get them from Tuer on presenting my note. I had a jolly long letter from Keene yesterday ... I'm keeping fairly well ... tho' I have my tumble down capers with this weary head - great longing for the old mother back, but I daren't say so for fear she hastens home - fact is we've lived far too much for each other ... ". He ends with a humourous self-portrait. Contains one of the boldest comic self-caricatures on p.90 where Crawhall depicts himself in tandem as two bulls dragging a ploughshare, taken from a Blake illustration to 'Jerusalem'. Although lacking the woodblock (it is thought there is only 1 copy remaining with it), this appears to be one of the best collectable copies of this work.
