From the estate of the late David Atkinson 1970 Velocette 499cc Venom ClubmanRegistration no. CRP 87HFrame no. RS 19691Engine no. VM 6488CEngine development of the MSS pursued as part of the scrambles programme bore fruit in 1956 in the shape of the high-performance Venom and its 350cc sibling, the Viper. The MSS frame and forks were retained for the newcomers but full-width alloy hubs were adopted to boost braking power, and smart chromed mudguards fitted to enhance the models' sporting image. In 1960 'Clubman' versions of both were introduced, minus the enclosure panels of the standard models, which featured a raised compression ratio, Amal TT carburettor, 'racing' magneto, rear-set footrests and a close-ratio gearbox among many other improvements. When supplied with the optional dolphin fairing, the model was known as the Clubman Veeline. This Venom Clubman comes with its original logbook recording Anthony Patchett at the keeper when first registered on 14th April 1970. He owned it until at least 1973. In 2006 the Venom was acquired by a Dr Marsden of Birmingham before being sold to a Mr Larner of Hook in 2010. Acquired by the late owner in 2015, the machine was MoT'd in 2005, 2006 and 2009, and there are service invoices on file from 2008 and 2009. Re-commissioning and detailing will be required before further use following several years in storage.Offered with keyFootnotes: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.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Egypt.- Description de l'Egypte, ou Recueil des observations et des recherches qui ont été faites en Egypte pendant l'expédition de l'armée française, 38 vol. (24 text vol. in 26 and 12 plate vol.), second edition, 1 plate vol. with hand-coloured frontispiece, another with engraved title and portrait of Louis XVIII, 967 engraved plates, many folding or double page, a few folding with small tears at central folds, some foxing to plate margins but generally outside plate mark, contemporary quarter morocco, some wear to spines including small tears and chips at ends, [c.f. for first edition; Atabey 343; Blackmer 476; Hilmy I, pp 239-245] 8vo and elephant folio (670 x 540mm.), Paris, C.L.F. Panckoucke, 1821-30.⁂ The rare "Panckoucke" edition, complete with all plates. This monumental work was the fruit of the scholarly enterprise envisioned by Napoleon during his invasion into Egypt in the late 1790s. Over 160 scholars and scientists, known as the "savants", accompanied the French army - including figures like Monge, Berthollet, Fourier, Geoffroy-Saint-Hilaire, Redoute, and Savigny - their aim being to produce the first ever scientific survey of Egyptian antiquities, culture, language, natural history, geography, ethnography etc. Defeated by the British and forced to relinquish the expedition's physical bounty, famously including the Rosetta stone, the French nonetheless negotiated to retain their scholarly notes. More than a decade later of careful collaboration, these notes emerged as this landmark collection. Not only arguably one of the most beautiful plate books of the nineteenth century, Le Description de l'Egypte established a new academic discipline, becoming the foundational work of Egyptology, and similarly sparked the vibrant wave of Egyptomania across Europe. The first edition appeared beginning in 1809, and this second edition, produced by the Charles Louis Fleury Panckoucke, was begun nearly before the first was completed, reproducing the plates of the first in full, without the hand colouring. This copy includes the hand-coloured frontispiece often missing.The plate volumes comprise: (i) Antiquities, 5 vol. [hand-coloured frontispiece, 3 additional engraved plates ("Medailles trouvees en Syrie," "Tableau synoptique des constellations" Plate A, "Produits de la machine a graver"), 16 numbered engraved plates of the Rosetta Stone (on 8 sheets), 419 numbered engraved plates, plate 103 of Etat Moderne (misbound)]; (ii) Etat Moderne, 2 vol. [1 additional engraved plate ("Canevas trigonometrique du Kaire/d'Alexandrie"), 169 numbered engraved plates (see above, plate 103 bound in Antiquities V)]; (iii) Histoire Naturelle, 3 vol. [244 engraved numbered or lettered plates]; (iv) Atlas Geographique (spine title) [52 engraved maps and plates]; (v) Grande Atlas [engraved title, featuring portrait of Louis XVIII, 63 oversized plates].

WRIGHT FRANK LLOYD: (1867-1959) American architect, designer & writer. Typed manuscript, unsigned, five pages, 4to, Taliesin, Spring Green, Wisconsin, August 1939, being a draft of Wright's article entitled To the Fifty-Eighth, with a number of ink corrections in Wright's hand, in part, (Wright's corrections marked in bold text), 'If printed reactions to my talks in London - no speaker really - which should HAVE reached me there x but now reach me at Taliesin mean anything, I have succeeded in getting myself pretty thoroughly misunderstood and well disliked, especially by those who should have been quick to understand me. I refer to the 58th variety - “the fruit of my own orchard”? For such pains as I took in the circumstances I am accused of disowning the “fruit of my own orchard” when I intended only to cut DOWN out saplings interfering with good fruit. Therefore certain intellectualists (saplings) are saying I am changed to “escapist”. A bad word, their word “escapist”? Boys, Why call names? Why not go to work? Go on…do something on THEIR your own that doesn't take refuge with the incompetent in a “universal” pattern for something that (should it abide with principle) ought to be as alive and various as human character is itself! AND have I “changed” or ONLY simply smashed myself as an idol? I intended to smash that IDOL but only to let idol worshippers a little closer than they NOW seem to want to go. Hero worship is sometimes pretty awful. That any of mine can now bear hide nor hair of me would be a surprise to me……Once and for all concerning this constantly repeated reference to my contribution to Architecture as a kind of romanticism: because any attempt on their part to establish a “contemporary vernacular” is defied by the revelations of principle eternally fresh and new in every building I build - they DRAG IN THE term “Romanticism” is dragged in to conceal their own impotence whereas it only really explains it. I love romance as I love sentiment. But just as I dislike sentimentality I would dislike their “Romance”. Corbusier or Gropius - I suggest you put a gently sloping roof on any LE CORBUSIER OR GROPIUS just to see what you have left of the so-called International Style after proper deductions have been made…..But where is that creative force today? THE man is not using the Machine! The machine is using the man and is using him so he is losing himself….becoming a “thing” beneath his push button and steering wheel….I see now as I saw then - that the only way man can use the machine - not let it use him - is to get it as a working principle into the hands of the great human forces we used to call the creative artist. Well…again, where is he?.....So, bid to England, I came with another “Declaration of Independence”. This time ONE concerned, not with taxes, but with independence of any aesthetic whatsoever where this matter of life as structure is now concerned - social, political, or artistic. I said that the only way man can use his machine and keep alive what is best in him is to go by means of it to the larger freedom the machine makes possible - go toward decentralization instead of continuing the centralization the machine exploits and, so far as any great human benefit goes, will soon explode. Simple enough? Do I continue to fog the issue? If so the Machine itself will prove me right. Meantime I can wait and work'. A few minor staple holes to the upper edge of each page, not affecting the text, and with some very light, minor age wear, VG Wright's article was published in the Journal of the Royal Institute of Architects in October 1939 and served as a rebuttal to criticisms levelled at him after a lecture he delivered in in London in May 1939 attacking the 'international style' of architecture.
