Edward Joseph Bird joined the Royal Navy in 1812, seeing service at the
battle of Algiers. He retired as Admiral in 1875. He was appointed
midshipman in HMS Hecla, under George Lyon, on the British Naval
Northwest Passage Expedition, 1821-1823 (leader William Edward Parry),
sent by the Admiralty to search for a passage along the west coast of the
unexplored Foxe Basin, north from Repulse Bay. He returned north with
Parry as midshipman in HMS Fury on the British Naval Northwest Passage
Expedition, 1824-1825, sent to seek a passage by following Prince Regent
Inlet to the American mainland coast. Serving again as midshipman in HMS
Hecla on the British Naval North Polar Expedition (leader William Edward
Parry), 1827, Bird was a member of the party attempting to reach the North
Pole over the ice with two boat-sledges, Enterprise and Endeavour;
Lieutenant James Clark Ross being commander of the second crew. Parry
found himself navigating through a pack of constantly moving small ice floes
and against a southward current which moved the ice four miles south daily.
On 26 July 1827 they calculated they had managed to advance the position
only one mile northward in the previous five days, and Parry was forced to
turn back to the ship. Not having reached his goal, Parry nonetheless set a
new mark for the farthest north attained, 82º 45’, which was not surpassed
until 1876 by a party from the expedition under George Strong Nares. The
little notebook in this wallet is signed and dated by Bird on 27 July 1827,
giving the bearing of this new Polar landmark.

Originally based in Poplar, London, Yarrow & Company, Limited, was
founded by Alfred Yarrow in 1865. In 1898 the shipyard moved to London
Yard, Cubitt Town and it was here that hundreds of steam launches, lake
and river vessels, and the Royal Navy’s first destroyers were built. Also a
builder of boilers, the ‘Yarrow boiler’ was first used in a torpedo boat in
1887 and later used for a number of applications including the propulsion
plant of RMS Queen Mary and LNER Class W1 locomotive. Yarrows outgrew
its London site and moved to Scotstoun in the west of Glasgow, in 1906.
This album, which has no printing or date details, may well have been
produced as a celebration at this time.

Graves (circa 1830-1895), christened ‘Elizabeth’ was the mistress of Wilkie

White’. They first met around 1856 and she lived with him on and off until
his death in 1889, despite his relationship with Martha Rudd, with whom he
had three children. Upon her own death in 1895 she was buried in the same
grave as Collins in Kensal Green, London.

Khan Landani (1753-1805/06; administrator at Lucknow and author) based
on 12 manuscripts. ‘By common consent [Hafez] represents the zenith of
Persian lyric poetry. In no other Persian poet can be found such a
combination of fertile imagination, polished diction, apt choice of words,
and silken melodious expressions’ (Enc. Iranica Vol. XI, Fasc. 5, pp. 461465). This edition was printed in 1200 copies by Aaron Upcott (fl.1785-1800).
‘The first printed edition using movable type was commissioned by Richard
Johnson of the East India Company [...] In a letter to Johnson prior to its
publication, Sir William Jones, the famous orientalist and translator of
Hafez, had complimented Johnson on taking up the task: “An impression
of your Hafiz will, indeed, be a valuable acquisition to the publick; and I
hope some years hence to offer up a copy of it on the tomb of the divine
poet near the crystal stream of Rucnabad”‘ (Enc. Iranica Vol. XI, Fasc. 5,
pp. 479-483). Only 7 institutional copies have been traced: BL, Cambridge,

First collection of poems by Mary Robinson (1757 or 1758-1800), English
actress, poet and novelist. She was popularly known as ‘Perdita’ (the
heroine in Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale) which she played in 1779 at
Drury Lane, her performance attracting the attention of the Prince of
Wales, who offered her twenty thousand pounds to become his mistress.
Needless to say he ended the affair in 1781, without paying up, and later she
became known as ‘the English Sappho’ for her poems, and along with her
contemporary Mary Wollstonecraft, championed women’s rights.

A unique record of the 1948 Summer Olympics, the first held since the 1936
Games in Berlin. The event came to be known as the Austerity Games,
because of the economic climate and post-war rationing. A record 59
nations were represented by 4,104 athletes, in 19 sport disciplines.
Germany and Japan were refused permission to participate while the USSR
chose not to send any athletes. The United States team won the most total
medals, 84, and the most gold medals, 38. The host nation won 23 medals,
3 of them gold. Star performers at the Games, whose autographs are all
included in this visitors’ book, were Dutch sprinter Fanny Blankers-Koen,
dubbed ‘The Flying Housewife’, who won 4 gold medals in athletics;
American Bob Mathias, winner of the decathlon and youngest male ever to
win an Olympic gold medal at the age of 17; and Veikko Huhtanen of Finland
who had a medal haul of 5 including 3 golds. Not every medal winner is in
this book, notable absentees include the winners of the 3 British gold
medals for rowing and sailing, these events taking place at Henley and
Torbay. There are 223 medal-winner autographs from 26 countries with
very little duplication. Multiple medal winners were largely only asked to
sign once with their medal wins noted in the right column for individual and
team events. It appears that 13 non-medal winning competitors and the
USA swimming manager have also signed.
The full list of medal winner autographs is available from the auction office.

An important collection of photographs, probably mostly unpublished,
documenting the construction of the Empire Pool and Sports Arena,
Wembley. The building’s more famous original neighbour, Wembley Stadium,
was built for the British Empire exhibition of 1924, took only 10 months and
was ready for the 1923 “White Horse” FA Cup Final between Bolton and
West Ham on 28 April 1923. An estimate 300,000 people turned up and a
superhuman performance from PC George Scorey and his white horse,
Billy, prevented a catastrophe. The Empire Exhibition was a great success
but after all was said and done the stadium was pronounced financially
unviable. It was rescued by a young man name Arthur Elvin who had worked
at the exhibition, selling cigarettes in a kiosk. When the exhibition ended,
Elvin started buying up the deserted pavilions and selling off the contents
for scrap. After the stadium went into liquidation Elvin raised money to buy
it and became its managing director. Elvin had the right mixture of vision
and pragmatism to make Wembley work. He realised that the stadium
needed a smaller, weatherproof venue to complement the stadium and so
the Empire Pool and Sports Arena came into being, opening in 1934.
Alongside the big football matches the venues now included greyhound
racing and speedway. When the Olympics came to London in 1948, Wembley
hosted the opening ceremony and many other events. The Empire Pool was
last used at these Games. The building is now used for music, comedy and
family entertainment and for sport. It was renovated, along with the
Wembley Stadium, as part of a regeneration, opening to the public again
on 2 April 2006. The building was renamed The SSE Arena on 1 June 2014.

played for Leicester City between 1923 and 1935, still holds the all-time
goal scoring record for the team with 273 goals; Gary Lineker scored 103
goals for the Club and Jamie Vardy currently has 50 goals.

after the sale has ended.

percentage of the final hammer price) and vat where applicable. You will be issued with an invoice made out to the name and

Debit Card: There is no additional charge for purchases made with these cards. Debit cards drawn on an overseas bank, however,
will be subject to a 2% surcharge.
Credit Cards: Visa and Mastercard are accepted, a 2% surcharge will apply. It is a good idea to let your card provider know in

ARTIST'S RESALE RIGHT LAW ("DROIT DE SUITE")
Lots marked with AR next to the lot number may be subject to Droit de Suite.
Droit de Suite is payable on the hammer price of any artwork sold in the lifetime of the artist, or within 70 years of the artist's
death. The buyer agrees to pay Dominic Winter Auctioneers Ltd. an amount equal to the resale royalty and we will pay such
amount to the artist's collecting agent. Resale royalty applies where the Hammer price is 1,000 Euros or more and the amount
cannot be more than 12,500 Euros per lot.
The amount is calculated as follows:
Royalty For the Portion of the Hammer Price (in Euros)
4.00% up to 50,000
3.00% between 50,000.01 and 200,000
1.00% between 200,000.01 and 350,000
0.50% between 350,000.01 and 500,000
Invoices will, as usual, be issued in Pounds Sterling. For the purposes of calculating the resale royalty the Pounds Sterling/Euro
rate of exchange will be the European Central Bank reference rate on the day of the sale.
Please refer to the DACS website www.dacs.org.uk for further details.

CONDITIONS OF SALE AND BUSINESS
1. The Seller warrants to the Auctioneer and the buyer that he is the true
owner or is properly authorised to sell the property by the true owner
and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from
any third party claims.
2. (a) The highest bidder to be the buyer. If during the auction the Auctioneer considers that a dispute has arisen he has absolute authority to
settle it or re-offer the lot. The Auctioneer may at his sole discretion
determine the advance of bidding or refuse a bid, divide any lot, combine any two or more lots or withdraw any lot without prior notice.
(b) Where goods are bought at auction by a buyer who has entered into
an agreement with another or others that the other or others (or
some of them) shall abstain from bidding for the goods and the buyer
or other party or one of the other parties is a dealer (as defined in
the Auction Biddings Agreement Act 1927) the buyer warrants that
the goods are bought bona fide on joint account.
3. The buyer shall pay the price at which a lot is knocked down by the
Auctioneer to the buyer (“the hammer price”) together with a premium
of 19.5% of the hammer price. Where the lot is marked by an asterisk the
premium will be subject to VAT at 23.40% which under the Auctioneer’s
Margin Scheme will form part of the buyer’s premium on our invoice and
will not be separately identified (the premium added to the hammer price
will hereafter collectively be referred to as “the total sum due”). By making any bid the buyer acknowledges that his attention has been drawn to
the fact that on the sale of any lot the Auctioneer will receive from the
seller commission at its usual rates in addition to the said premium of
19.5% and assents to the Auctioneer receiving the said commission.
4. (a) The buyer shall forthwith upon the purchase give in his name and
permanent address and pay to the Auctioneer immediately after the
conclusion of the auction the total sum due.
(b) The buyer may be required to pay down during the course of the sale
the whole or any part of the total sum due, and if he fails to do so
after such request the lot or lots may at the Auctioneer's absolute
discretion be put up again and resold immediately.
(c) The buyer shall at his own expense take away any lot or lots purchased no later than five working days after the auction day.
(d) The Auctioneer may at his own discretion agree credit terms with a
buyer and extend the time limits for collection in special cases but
otherwise payment shall be deemed to have been made only after
the Auctioneer has received cash or a sterling banker’s draft or the
buyer's cheque has been cleared.
5. (a) If the buyer fails to pay for or take away any lot or lots pursuant to
clause 4 or breaches any other condition of that clause the Auctioneer as agent for the seller shall be entitled after consultation with
the seller to exercise one or other of the following rights:
(i) Rescind the sale of that or any other lots sold to the buyer who defaults and re-sell the lot or lots whereupon the defaulting buyer shall
pay to the Auctioneer any shortfall between the proceeds of that sale
after deduction of costs of re-sale and the total sum due. Any surplus
shall belong to the seller.
(ii) Proceed for damages for breach of contract.
(b) Without prejudice to the Auctioneer's rights hereunder if any lots or
lots are not collected within five days or such longer period as the
Auctioneer may have agreed otherwise, the Auctioneer may charge
the buyer a storage charge of £1.00 + VAT at the current rate per lot
per day.
(c) Ownership of the lot purchased shall not pass to the buyer until he
has paid to the Auctioneer the total sum due.
6. (a) The seller shall be entitled to place a reserve on any lot and the
Auctioneer shall have the right to bid on behalf of the seller for any
lot on which a reserve has been placed. A seller may not bid on any
lot on which a reserve has been placed.
(b) Where any lot fails to sell, the Auctioneer shall notify the seller
accordingly. The seller shall make arrangements either to re-offer
the lot for sale or to collect the lot and may be asked to pay a commission not exceeding 50% of the selling commission and any special
expenses incurred in cataloguing the lot.
(c) If such arrangements are not made within seven days of the notification the Auctioneer is empowered to sell the lot by auction or by
private treaty at not less than the reserve price and to receive from
the seller the normal selling commission and special expenses.
7. Any representation or statement by the Auctioneer in any catalogue,
brochure or advertisement of forthcoming sales as to authorship, attribution, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price is a statement of opinion only. Every person interested
should exercise and rely on his own judgement as to such matters and
neither the Auctioneer nor his servants or agents are responsible for the
correctness of such opinions. No warranty whatsoever is given by the
Auctioneer or the seller in respect of any lot and any express or implied
warranties are hereby excluded.
8. (a) Notwithstanding any other terms of these conditions, if within fourteen days of the sale the Auctioneer has received from the buyer of
any lot notice in writing that in his view the lot is a deliberate forgery
and within fourteen days after such notification the buyer returns the
same to the Auctioneer in the same condition as at the time of the
sale and satisfies the Auctioneer that considered in the light of the
entry in the catalogue the lot is a deliberate forgery then the sale of
the lot will be rescinded and the purchase price of the same refunded.
"A deliberate forgery" means a lot made with intention to deceive.
(b) A buyer's claim under this condition shall be limited to any amount
paid to the Auctioneer for the lot and for the purpose of this condition the buyer shall be the person to whom the original invoice was
made out by the Auctioneer.
9. Lots may be removed during the sale after full settlement in accordance
with 4(d) hereof.
10. All goods delivered to the Auctioneer's premises will be deemed to be
delivered for sale by auction unless otherwise stated in writing and will
be catalogued and sold at the Auctioneer's discretion and accepted by
the Auctioneer subject to all these conditions. In the case of miscellaneous books, the Auctioneer reserves the right to extract and dispose
of books that, in the opinion of the Auctioneer at his absolute discretion, have no saleable value and, therefore, might detract from the
saleability of the rest of the lot and the Auctioneer shall incur no liability
to the seller, in respect of the books disposed of. By delivering the goods
to theAuctioneer for inclusion in his auction sales each seller acknowledges that he/she accepts and agrees to all the conditions.
11. (a) Unless otherwise instructed in writing all goods on the Auctioneer's
premises and in their custody will be held insured against the risks
of fire, burglary, water damage and accidental breakage or damage.
The value of the goods so covered will be the hammer price, or in
the case of unsold lots the best bid, or in the case of loss or damage
prior to the sale that which the specialised staff of the Auctioneer
shall in their absolute discretion estimate to be the auction value of
such goods.
(b) The Auctioneer shall not be responsible for damage to or the loss,
theft, or destruction of any goods not so insured because of the
owner’s written instructions.
12. The Auctioneer shall remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller thirty
days after the day of the auction provided that the Auctioneer has received the total sum due from the buyer. In all other cases the Auctioneer will remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller within seven days of
the receipt by the Auctioneer of the total sum due. The Auctioneer will
not be deemed to have received the total sum due until after any
cheque delivered by the buyer has been cleared. In the event of the
Auctioneer exercising his right to rescind the sale his obligation to the
seller hereunder lapses.
13. In the case of the seller withdrawing instructions to the Auctioneer to
sell any lot or lots, the Auctioneer may charge a fee of 12.5% of the Auctioneer's middle estimate of the auction price of the lot withdrawn together with Value Added Tax thereon and any expenses incurred in
respect of the lot or lots.
14. The Auctioneer’s current standard notices and information (i.e. Collation
and Amendments) will apply to any contract with the Auctioneer as if
incorporated herein.
15. These conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
English Law.
