Original plans and projects for the redevelopment of Hursley Park: 1902 - 1904
Located in SAINT-OUEN-SUR-SEINE, FR
This set of model elements accompanied by plans constitutes part of the project to redevelop the Hursley Park mansion, also called , commissioned by the Coopers family who acquired it in 1902. The project is entrusted to the architect Scottish Alexander Marshall Mackenzie (1848-1933).
Originally built in the early 1720s, Hursley House was purchased in 1902 by Sir George Cooper and his wife Mary Emma Smith. Their desire to transform the place into an 18th century palace is perfectly illustrated by the purchase, to decorate their ballroom, of 18th century Beauvais tapestries. The decor was to highlight the French art collections of the Hursley Park mansion. The model elements that we present perfectly embody an eclectic taste for the arts of the 18th century, and in particular the ornamentation which simultaneously summons all the styles up to that of Louis XIV. The model, representing the decorations, allows you to see all the opulence of the interior of Hursley House. Large openings hosting tapestries, highlighted by richly decorated woodwork, frame large doors or mirrors displaying large garlands of flowers.
The main model presents an interior design project for the “Grand Salon”. Another part of the models is dedicated to the representation of a bedroom of Mrs. Gould, on cardboard made by Tochon-Lepage & Cie.
The model of the Grand Salon, probably an abandoned project of the Drawing Room which was actually completed, presents a sumptuous decoration in a Regency style. Rectangular in shape, the two longest walls of the room in turn present a decor decorated with tapestries and a series of three windows accompanied by a large mirror. The two smaller walls facing each other have on one side a fireplace topped...

Miniature Terrestrial Globe Newton & Son London, Post 1833, Ante 1858
Located in Milano, IT
Miniature Terrestrial Globe
Newton & Son
London, post 1833, ante 1858
Paper, papier-mâché, bronze and wood
It measures: sphere diameter 2.95 in (7.6 cm); diameter of the wooden base 6.02 in (15.3 cm); height 8.36 in (21.24 cm).
Weight: 2,067 lb.
State of conservation: the globe still bears its original paint, but has various small gaps, abrasions and stains on the surface.
The globe is hinged with two pins at the meridian circle, which is in turn inserted perpendicular to the horizon circle; this is supported by four semi-arches connected at the bottom by a small goblet-shaped foot, resting on a wooden bell-shaped base.
Apart from the wooden base, the entire support structure is made of bronze; on the foot there are the scale reproductions of a compass, a telescope and an open book.
The sphere is made of papier-mâché and is covered with twelve printed paper gores.
In the North Pacific Ocean the globe bears a cartouche with the inscription (about 30% of the writing is illegible, but the missing parts can be easily integrated based on the rest):

TERRESTRIAL
Globe
Published by Newton & Son
66 Chancery Lane
LONDON
On the globe, much of central Africa is empty and the great lakes Tanganyika and Victoria are not marked (Europeans would begin to explore the area after 1858). Canada is called "British Territory" and Alaska "Russian Territory" (it would become part of the United States in 1867). Australia already bears its modern name (until 1829 it had been called New Holland) and its coasts are completely designed; Tasmania is listed as an island (Matthew Flinders circumnavigated it in 1798). The routes of Cook's various voyages are plotted; both the route followed by Biscoe in 1831 and the "Land of Enderby" which he discovered on the coast of Antarctica, south of Africa, are marked.

Anatomical Model of Gorilla by Dr. Louis Auzoux Plus Unique Handwritten Booklet
Located in Haarlem, NL
Sinke & van Tongeren exhibited this extremely rare Auzoux Gorilla by carefully taking apart the model and creating an exploded view of this historically important piece. When viewed from a particular angle all pieces come together to form the original shape. It was part of the exhibition called ‘TIER’ at MOA in The Netherlands
The story of a remarkable 19th century anatomical model created just four years after Darwin unleashed a political storm with his theories on human evolution.
The publication of Charles Darwin’s controversial On the Origin of Species in 1859 caused debates to rage about human evolution, debates which witnessed the politicisation of a creature whose existence had only recently been confirmed by modern science. On one side of the argument was the Darwinian camp; on the other were those opposed to Darwin’s theory, such as Richard Owen, the famed Director of the Natural History Museum and a man who, interestingly, coined the word ‘dinosaur’.
Tales of the creature in question had endured for centuries, but up until 1847 it remained a myth, an unknown. This all changed thanks to the missionary Thomas Savage and the anatomist Jeffries Wyman who wrote a paper for the journal of the Boston Society of Natural History in which they described a new species: Troglodytes gorilla. (Later, in 1929, Harvard zoologist Harold Coolidge would apply the synonym Gorilla gorilla...
