We have the following lots on offer: -------------------------------------- Lot 9 #26249 Barbara Lindop. GERARD SEKOTO. Copy No.16 of 50. The 50 copies were printed for H.F. Oppenheimer for his own distribution. Dictum. Randburg 1988 An extensive collection of the artist's work from around 1938 to the 1980s. This important South African artist, now deceased, lived in exile in France for more than 40 years. 21pp autobiographical outline contributed by the painter. Bound by Peter Carstens in half maroon calf with four raised bands over marbled paper boards, gilt title label on spine, strong buckram slipcase with marbled paper finish to top, end, & bottom. 294pp illustrated oblong 4to. Bookseller's pencil annotations to ffep else a Fine copy in VG+ slipcase (the buckram is showing minor tanning, clean & very sound with no bumped corners). Overall an exceptional copy. The last copy of this that I find sold on auction fetched GBP2000 at Bonhams in London, maybe 10 years back, so the reserve given is half of that. Considering the low number of copies available and that they were given as personal gifts by H.F. Oppenheimer, then copies are not often available. Lot 127 #24576 John Stuart. PICTURES OF WAR. Constable. 1901. A selection of letters contributed to the Morning Post (London). Covers engagements at Elandslaagte, Tinta Inyoni, Dundee, Ladysmith, & Mafeking, the last two of which in some detail. An embossed stamp denotes that this book was a gift from the publisher. An elusive title. Gilt title on red cloth boards. 413pp illustrated 4 folding maps (2 of Mafeking & 2 of Ladysmith). 8vo. No inscription. ownership stamp to title page and embossed stamp as well. edges & eps well tanned. hinges starting but still sound. one map torn but without loss. spine fading, spot on front board has lost colour, main text pretty clean but some few pages foxed, overall a fairly clean G++ copy. Lot 128 #24830 Lieut.-Colonel St John Gore. THE GREEN HORSE IN LADYSMITH. Printed For Private Circulation. Sampson Low Marston, London, 1901. Author saw service in the 5th Dragoon Guards.

IMPORTANT: The items are on the auction and no pre-auction offers will be considered. Items will, if unsold, revert to our previous listed price and no post-auction offers will be considered. If you wish to purchase an item at auction-level prices, please bid for it. The auction allows 'proxy bids' whereby it judiciously spends up to your maximum bid to stay just ahead of the other bidders - only as long as they do not have a proxy bid in excess of yours. If you are the only bidder then it will not exceed the reserve price until another bidder enters a higher bid. Speak to us if you are unsure on how to use this. NO 'Buyers Premium' charged on this auction, which means that the purchaser is paying the hammer price clear of the surcharge levied by many other auction houses. Buyers Premium adversely affects the prices bid to the detriment of the seller. Bidding closes: Thursday 26th April 16:30 GMT Successful bidding!
