English Literature History Children's Books and Illustrations. Sotheby's auction catalogue sale date: 17 July 2008
Sotheby's London auction catalogue for the sale held on 17th July 2008. Laminated illustrated wrappers 4to 27 cm. 308 pp colour ills. 342 lots. Included as lots 288-312 was the Bertram Potter collection of Beatrix Potter. From the catalogue: "This group of over twenty original illustrations books Christmas cards and letters by Beatrix Potter originates from the collection of the artist's brother Bertram Potter 1872- 1918. It represents one of the finest and most important collections of original artwork by Beatrix Potter to be offered for sale at auction. The core of the material is supplemented by items given by the artist to other members of the family�Remarkable for the wealth of early material many of the illustrations offered here probably date from the 1890s. Beatrix Potter would frequently create many different versions of the same drawing and this collection is especially important in providing alternative versions of some of her best early work. There are for example three watercolours from "The Rabbits Christmas Party" sequence. The images in other versions hitherto known from this series include one which featured on the upper cover of the 2005 Dulwich Picture Gallery exhibition catalogue another on the upper cover of Beatrix Potter in America Beatrix Potter U.S. Studies I Beatrix Potter Society 2006 and another which appeared within the 2006 film Miss Potter as the historically inaccurate gift presented by Beatrix to Norman Warne as a Christmas present. Of major importance is an abandoned watercolour for The Tale of Peter Rabbit which was evidently later redrawn for publication. A few corners folded otherwise Very Good.

English Literature and History Sotheby's auction catalogue sale date: 13 July 2000
Sotheby's London auction catalogue for the sale held on 13th July 2000. Laminated wrappers 4to. 168 pp plates some colour ills. 276 lots. Among the highlights noted were the following: The archive of the philosopher and historian Sir James Mackintosh; A collection of letters and working filmscripts relating to Stanley Kubrick's "Dr. Strangelove"; Illuminated pedigree presented by Robert Cooke to Robert Dudley Earl of Leicester; Important collection of family correspondence of Sir Laurence Olivier; Books and scripts of the actor Denholm Elliott; Papers of Guy Johnson Superintendant of Indian Affairs in New York in the War of Independence; Collections of first editions by Ian Fleming William Golding and Vladimir Nabokov; Fine collection of works by W.B Yeats some inscribed; Fine autograph letters signed by John Evelyn Joseph Addison James Boswell Samuel Johnson; Horace Walpole Charles Dickens C.S. Lewis Ted Hughes and others. From the introduction "The philosopher and historian Sir James Mackintosh 1765-1832.was one of the best known public figures of his age and his social circle in London included practically everyone of any intellectual distinction especially in the fields of literature and politics. A genial amiable and very eloquent man he was generally well liked but inevitably attracted some enmity. Among much else in these extensive and revealing papers it is interesting to see letters by the likes of S.T. Coleridge Samuel Parr William Godwin and James Mill sending him effusive expressions of admiration when he could be of service to them but expressing very different sentiments on other occasions usually behind his back. The papers throw extensive light on Mackintosh's own political and philosophical thinking as well as on his personal life. The correspondence involving so many of his contemporaries increases the significance ot the archive for the historian of intellectual life in general in this turbulent and revolutionary period. Very Good. Sotheby's, London, auction catalogue for the sale held on 13th July, 2000 unknown
