to be abandoned due to inheritance tax. The<br />

panels had been part of the decorative<br />

necessary consent, and was fined £1,000.<br />

Grand-scale use of papier-mache mouldings<br />

were first used in Britain around 1740 as a<br />

substitute for plaster mouldings. Most extant<br />

fragile nature, a survival such as these is<br />

Sarah Stone’s father was a fan painter, and it was from him that she learnt her<br />

technique. When she was about 17 she visited the Leverian Museum at<br />

Leicester House in London. This vast and important collection of natural objects,<br />

including live animals, consisted of around 27,000 items. Its owner, Sir Ashton<br />

Lever, commissioned Sarah Stone to paint many of the specimens housed in<br />

the vast sixteen room mansion. Her artwork is considered of great importance<br />

as a record of some of the species collected by explorers and housed in the<br />

long-since defunct museum, some of which are now extinct or have<br />

endangered populations. The museum was put up as a lottery prize in 1786,<br />

with tickets priced at one guinea. The collection was eventually dispersed in<br />

1806, selling at auctions over a period of sixty-five days. The library at the<br />

Natural History Museum has a large collection of Sarah Stone’s watercolours.<br />

Provenance: The vendor is the god-daughter and a cousin of Lilian Eaton,<br />

Charles Eaton’s daughter, who was a scientist. Charles Eaton was a decorative<br />

artist and lecturer, who taught at the Northern Polytechnic for thirty-one years.<br />

He was instrumental in raising the standard of learning there so that it became<br />

the first school whose course was recognised by the Institute of British<br />

Decorators & Interior Designers, of which Eaton was Director from 1954 to<br />

1955. He was also Chairman of the London & General District Incorporated<br />

Institute of British Decorators, President of the Association of Painting Craft<br />

Teachers in 1958, Fellow of the Institute of British Decorators & Interior<br />

Designers and Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. Charles Eaton’s retirement<br />

from the Northern Polytechnic was marked by a dinner in 1950, and ‘The<br />

Journal of Decorative Art’ reported: “‘The Maestro’ had been asked to bring<br />

six friends of his own choosing, and so his daughter, Miss Lilian Eaton, who<br />

appeared to know the ‘old boys’ was there to witness the tributes paid to one<br />

of the most conscientous teachers who ever graced the profession.”<br />

to lower left, 44 x 57cm (17.25 x 22.5ins), framed and glazed<br />

weekly from Holland. The outbreak of the Second World War saw an end to<br />

the weekly air-freight deliveries and Epstein returned to his sculptural work.<br />

718* Shadbolt (Cecil Victor, 1859-1892) - Aerial Photography & Ballooning. A<br />

remarkable and historic collection of 76 magic lantern slides as owned and used by<br />

pioneering hot air balloonist-photographer Cecil Victor Shadbolt for his lecture<br />

‘Balloons and Ballooning’, circa 1882-1892, including 27 vertical and oblique aerial<br />

photographic views of London and one of the Eiffel Tower, plus two colour<br />

photographic slides of Reliance and a second balloon with crowds, one of Shadbolt<br />

and ‘Captain’ William Dale in the balloon car for Reliance (with Shadbolt’s camera<br />

visible and attached to the basket), two further photographic slides of the balloon<br />

being inflated with Shadbolt just visible among crowd scenes of each, five further<br />

photographic slides of the second balloon [‘Victoria’] airborne taken with balloon to<br />

balloon photography, in one of which a man stands on the edge of the balloon car,<br />

one slide giving the brief handwritten details of Shadbolt’s first successful balloonphotography<br />

ascent on 29 May 1882, the remaining 37 magic lanterns slides from<br />

engravings or drawings, all but four coloured and including the first slide to the<br />

lecture with decorative title ‘Balloons and Ballooning, “Upward and Onwards”, by<br />

C.V. Shadbolt’, some slides with manuscript order numbers, occasional captions<br />

and Shadbolt’s name, presumed in his hand, scattered minor mildew, but generally<br />

very good condition with seals intact, one non-photographic slide with hairline crack,<br />

contained in one large and one small wooden lantern slide box<br />

An extraordinary collection, including the earliest known surviving aerial photograph of Great<br />

Britain, being that of Stamford Hill, taken on 29 May 1882 (reproduced from an original or copy<br />

Cecil V. Shadbolt & ‘Captain’ William Dale<br />

held by George Eastman House in Beaumont Newhall’s The Airborne Camera: The World from<br />

the Air and Outer Space (1969), p. 37.<br />

The lantern slide reproducing handwriting gives Shadbolt’s account of this historic occasion: ‘1st Ascent: 29th May 1882 (Whit Monday), Balloon ‘Reliance’ from<br />

Alexandra Palace. Started at 4pm. Descended at 5.30. Duration of voyage 1hr 30 mins. Distance travelled 14 miles. Miles per hour 9 1/3. Highest altitude 5,000<br />

ft. Place of descent Ilford. 5min walk from station. Remarks: Weather fine and bright, but clouds were high so did not get above them. At 5000 ft noticed that<br />

although we were in shadow the sun was shining on the earth below. Obtained very successful photograph of Stamford Hill district at altitude of 2000 ft and<br />

several others not so good. Came down in a field of green corn and experienced very rough treatment at the hands of the crowds who tore the balloon and<br />

Barker’s coat in addition.’<br />

The details and dates of some other sixty ascents by Shadbolt are not documented but it is thought that the majority or all of these aerial photographs were taken<br />

in the 1880s, and certainly no later than 1892 when Shadbolt died in a tragic ballooning accident at the Crystal Palace along with the balloon’s pilot Captain Dale.<br />

Other views identified on the slides (probably in Shadbolt’s hand) include Catford Bridge from 1900 feet (two similar views) and 1960 feet, Sutton from 800 feet,<br />

Beckenham Junction from 1500 feet, January on Wardle River from 1000 feet, Thornton Heath from 1500 feet, 6,000 feet Belvedere, 4,800 feet Dartford. Also<br />

identifiable is Blackheath: see illustration of similar Shadbolt photograph in Gaston Tissandier, La photographie en ballon (Paris, 1886), p. 21. Interestingly, this is<br />

accompanied by a short two-page chapter about Shadbolt’s balloon photography experiences in England in 1883 (sic). This mistaken date of 1883 is repeated in<br />

the article on Aerial Photography in John Hannavy (ed.), Encyclopaedia of Nineteenth-Century Photography (2007), pp. 12-13. The other clearly identifiable<br />

photograph is that of Crystal Palace, Sydenham, which is captioned as photographed at 2,000 feet. This photograph is a little blurry compared to the others and<br />

may well be because it was taken from a tethered balloon rather than from a free floating balloon and thus liable to more shake and vibration. In spite of the<br />

regular tethered balloon flights at Crystal Palace this is believed to be the earliest known surviving aerial photograph of the building of Crystal Palace itself.<br />

The one aerial photograph present in this collection not of London is that of the Eiffel Tower (opened 31 March 1889). ‘A very successful photograph of Paris,<br />

showing the Eiffel Tower and Exhibition Buildings, has been taken from a balloon by Mr Cecil V Shadbolt, of Chislehurst, and is published by Messrs Heywood<br />

and Co, 62, Ludgate Hill, EC’ (The Graphic, 30 November 1889). The Cambridge Daily News adds that the photo was taken ‘from the car of the captive balloon<br />

in the Exhibition grounds, at a height of about 1,000 feet. The landscape is remarkably clear, and the tower itself stands out boldly, dwarfing its surroundings into<br />

insignificance’ (23 November 1889).<br />

The photographs are remarkably clear and when magnified show very clear detail of houses, railway cuttings and other landmarks, notably the River Thames<br />

appearing in several of the slides. Four views are seen through some cloud cover. Of the other photographic slides one is notable for showing Shadbolt (and<br />

Captain Dale) with his camera, sitting on the edge of the balloon car and looking straight at the camera. This photograph is credited to H. Chubb of Chislehurst,<br />

close to where Shadbolt lived. This photograph is reproduced in The Photographic News, 17 October 1884, p. 659. The same article also includes the ‘Blackheath’<br />

vertical as later published by Tissandier. The majority of photographs present here have not been traced elsewhere.<br />

Of the non-photographic slides (all but five of which are coloured illustrations) some show man’s various unusual attempts to fly and other incidents from<br />

ballooning history, real or imagined. Of the uncoloured slides two show scenes of mobbing, a not uncommon phenomenon with people angry at man’s unnatural<br />

and godly attempts at flight. As described in Shadbolt’s description of his first ascent in the slide included here it was something that Shadbolt suffered at least<br />

once. The other black and white slide that should be noted is the reproduction of a famous engraving from a drawing by W.L. Wyllie, reproduced in The Graphic,<br />

May 1884, showing a bird’s-eye view of London as seen from a balloon.<br />

MARCUS AND GILBERT ADAMS PHOTOGRAPHY ARCHIVE<br />

(Arthur) Walton Adams (1842-1934) was a photographer who worked in Southampton and Reading. He was the co-inventor of the dryplate<br />

process. His son, Marcus Adams (1875-1959), established a reputation as a leading child photographer. In 1919 he joined up with<br />

Bertram Park (1883-1972) and his wife Yvonne Gregory (1889-1970) to form the 'Three Photographers'. In 1926, Marcus Adams took<br />

first official photographs of the Duchess of York and Princess Elizabeth (future Queen Mother and Queen Elizabeth II) and continued<br />

up to 1956 in a sitting with Princess Anne. His son, Gilbert Adams (1906-1996), assisted in his early years but later established his own<br />

highly successful career as a photographer, specialising in photographing the ballet.<br />

Conditions of Sale and Business<br />

1. The Seller warrants to the Auctioneer and the buyer that he is the true owner or<br />

is properly authorised to sell the property by the true owner and is able to<br />

transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims.<br />

2. (a) The highest bidder to be the buyer. If during the auction the Auctioneer<br />

considers that a dispute has arisen he has absolute authority to settle<br />

it or re-offer the lot. The Auctioneer may at his sole discretion determine<br />

the advance of bidding or refuse a bid, divide any lot, combine any two<br />

or more lots or withdraw any lot without prior notice.<br />

(b) Where goods are bought at auction by a buyer who has entered into<br />

an agreement with another or others that the other or others (or some<br />

of them) shall abstain from bidding for the goods and the buyer or other<br />

party or one of the other parties is a dealer (as defined in the Auction<br />

Biddings Agreement Act 1927) the buyer warrants that the goods are<br />

bought bona fide on joint account.<br />

3. The buyer shall pay the price at which a lot is knocked down by the<br />

Auctioneer to the buyer (“the hammer price”) together with a premium of<br />

19.5% of the hammer price. Where the lot is marked by an asterisk the<br />

premium will be subject to VAT at 23.40% which under the Auctioneer’s<br />

Margin Scheme will form part of the buyer’s premium on our invoice and<br />

will not be separately identified (the premium added to the hammer price<br />

will hereafter collectively be referred to as “the total sum due”). By making<br />

any bid the buyer acknowledges that his attention has been drawn to the<br />

fact that on the sale of any lot the Auctioneer will receive from the seller<br />

commission at its usual rates in addition to the said premium of 19.5% and<br />

assents to the Auctioneer receiving the said commission.<br />

4. (a) The buyer shall forthwith upon the purchase give in his name and<br />

permanent address and pay to the Auctioneer immediately after the<br />

conclusion of the auction the total sum due.<br />

(b) The buyer may be required to pay down during the course of the sale<br />

the whole or any part of the total sum due, and if he fails to do so after<br />

such request the lot or lots may at the Auctioneer's absolute discretion<br />

be put up again and resold immediately.<br />

(c) The buyer shall at his own expense take away any lot or lots purchased<br />

no later than five working days after the auction day.<br />

(d) The Auctioneer may at his own discretion agree credit terms with a<br />

buyer and extend the time limits for collection in special cases but<br />

otherwise payment shall be deemed to have been made only after the<br />

Auctioneer has received cash or a sterling banker’s draft or the buyer's<br />

cheque has been cleared.<br />

5. (a) If the buyer fails to pay for or take away any lot or lots pursuant to<br />

clause 4 or breaches any other condition of that clause the Auctioneer<br />

as agent for the seller shall be entitled after consultation with the seller<br />

to exercise one or other of the following rights:<br />

(i) Rescind the sale of that or any other lots sold to the buyer who defaults<br />

and re-sell the lot or lots whereupon the defaulting buyer shall pay to<br />

the Auctioneer any shortfall between the proceeds of that sale after<br />

deduction of costs of re-sale and the total sum due. Any surplus shall<br />

belong to the seller.<br />

(ii) Proceed for damages for breach of contract.<br />

(b) Without prejudice to the Auctioneer's rights hereunder if any lots or<br />

lots are not collected within five days or such longer period as the<br />

Auctioneer may have agreed otherwise, the Auctioneer may charge the<br />

buyer a storage charge of £1.00 + VAT at the current rate per lot per day.<br />

(c) Ownership of the lot purchased shall not pass to the buyer until he has<br />

paid to the Auctioneer the total sum due.<br />

6. (a) The seller shall be entitled to place a reserve on any lot and the<br />

Auctioneer shall have the right to bid on behalf of the seller for any lot<br />

on which a reserve has been placed. A seller may not bid on any lot on<br />

which a reserve has been placed.<br />

(b) Where any lot fails to sell, the Auctioneer shall notify the seller<br />

accordingly. The seller shall make arrangements either to re-offer the<br />

lot for sale or to collect the lot and may be asked to pay a commission<br />

not exceeding 50% of the selling commission and any special expenses<br />

incurred in cataloguing the lot.<br />

(c) If such arrangements are not made within seven days of the notification<br />

the Auctioneer is empowered to sell the lot by auction or by private<br />

treaty at not less than the reserve price and to receive from the seller<br />

the normal selling commission and special expenses.<br />

7. Any representation or statement by the Auctioneer in any catalogue,<br />

brochure or advertisement of forthcoming sales as to authorship, attribution,<br />

genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling<br />

price is a statement of opinion only. Every person interested should<br />

exercise and rely on his own judgement as to such matters and neither the<br />

Auctioneer nor his servants or agents are responsible for the correctness<br />

of such opinions. No warranty whatsoever is given by the Auctioneer or<br />

the seller in respect of any lot and any express or implied warranties are<br />

hereby excluded.<br />

8. (a) Notwithstanding any other terms of these conditions, if within fourteen<br />

days of the sale the Auctioneer has received from the buyer of any lot<br />

notice in writing that in his view the lot is a deliberate forgery and within<br />

fourteen days after such notification the buyer returns the same to the<br />

Auctioneer in the same condition as at the time of the sale and<br />

satisfies the Auctioneer that considered in the light of the entry in the<br />

catalogue the lot is a deliberate forgery then the sale of the lot will be<br />

rescinded and the purchase price of the same refunded. "A deliberate<br />

forgery" means a lot made with intention to deceive.<br />

(b) A buyer's claim under this condition shall be limited to any amount paid<br />

to the Auctioneer for the lot and for the purpose of this condition the<br />

buyer shall be the person to whom the original invoice was made out<br />

by the Auctioneer.<br />

9. Lots may be removed during the sale after full settlement in accordance<br />

with 4(d) hereof.<br />

10. All goods delivered to the Auctioneer's premises will be deemed to be<br />

delivered for sale by auction unless otherwise stated in writing and will<br />

be catalogued and sold at the Auctioneer's discretion and accepted by<br />

the Auctioneer subject to all these conditions. In the case of miscellaneous<br />

books, the Auctioneer reserves the right to extract and dispose of<br />

books that, in the opinion of the Auctioneer at his absolute discretion,<br />

have no saleable value and, therefore, might detract from the saleability<br />

of the rest of the lot and the Auctioneer shall incur no liability to the seller,<br />

in respect of the books disposed of. By delivering the goods to the<br />

Auctioneer for inclusion in his auction sales each seller acknowledges that<br />

he/she accepts and agrees to all the conditions.<br />

11. (a) Unless otherwise instructed in writing all goods on the Auctioneer's<br />

premises and in their custody will be held insured against the risks of<br />

fire, burglary, water damage and accidental breakage or damage.<br />

The value of the goods so covered will be the hammer price, or in the<br />

case of unsold lots the best bid, or in the case of loss or damage prior<br />

to the sale that which the specialised staff of the Auctioneer shall in<br />

their absolute discretion estimate to be the auction value of such goods.<br />

(b) The Auctioneer shall not be responsible for damage to or the loss, theft,<br />

or destruction of any goods not so insured because of the owner’s<br />

written instructions.<br />

12. The Auctioneer shall remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller thirty<br />

days after the day of the auction provided that the Auctioneer has received<br />

the total sum due from the buyer. In all other cases the Auctioneer will<br />

remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller within seven days of the<br />

receipt by the Auctioneer of the total sum due. The Auctioneer will not be<br />

deemed to have received the total sum due until after any cheque<br />

delivered by the buyer has been cleared. In the event of the Auctioneer<br />

exercising his right to rescind the sale his obligation to the seller<br />

hereunder lapses.<br />

13. In the case of the seller withdrawing instructions to the Auctioneer to sell<br />

any lot or lots, the Auctioneer may charge a fee of 12.5% of the Auctioneer's<br />

middle estimate of the auction price of the lot withdrawn together with<br />

Value Added Tax thereon and any expenses incurred in respect of the lot<br />

or lots.<br />

14. The Auctioneer’s current standard notices and information (i.e. Collation<br />

and Amendments) will apply to any contract with the Auctioneer as if<br />

incorporated herein.<br />

15. These conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with<br />

English Law.<br />
