Lanrick Castle, near Doune in Stirling, in 1973,<br />

to be abandoned due to inheritance tax. The<br />
panels had been part of the decorative<br />
scheme in the entrance hall. Lanrick Castle<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 />
remarkable.<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 />

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 />
