Antique Astronomical Chart, Planetary Systems, Lapie Atlas 1838 This refined and intellectually engaging astronomical engraving titled Systèmes Planétaires originates from the important French publication Atlas Universel de Géographie Ancienne et Moderne by M. Lapie, published in Paris in 1838. The Lapie atlas is widely regarded as one of the most elegant and scientifically grounded cartographic works of the early 19th century, combining geographical precision with broader educational content, including astronomy and physical geography. The composition presents a beautifully balanced scientific tableau centered around a detailed armillary sphere, symbolizing the classical representation of the cosmos. Surrounding this central motif are a series of finely engraved diagrams illustrating planetary systems, lunar phases, eclipses, and orbital mechanics. These include both heliocentric and earlier cosmological interpretations, reflecting the transitional scientific understanding of the period. The clarity of line, precision of engraving, and restrained aesthetic give the sheet a distinctly modern feel despite its age. Printed on high-quality paper typical of French atlas production in the 1830s, the engraving demonstrates the technical excellence associated with Parisian publishing houses of the time. The typography, layout, and scientific diagrams reveal the influence of Enlightenment thinking, where knowledge was presented not only accurately but also beautifully. This sheet would appeal to collectors of scientific prints, astronomy enthusiasts, and interior designers seeking intellectually sophisticated wall decoration. Its symmetrical composition and neutral tones make it particularly suitable for contemporary interiors, studies, or libraries where historical depth and visual harmony are desired. Condition report: Good condition overall. Light age toning and scattered foxing visible, primarily in the margins. Original center fold as issued. Paper remains strong and stable. Plate mark visible. Framing tips: Highly suitable for a dark walnut or black frame with a generous ivory or off-white mat to emphasize the fine engraving details. Works exceptionally well in study or library settings, or paired with other scientific or cartographic prints for a cohesive gallery wall.

Ancient Pannonia & Dacia Map — Roman Balkans Provinces, Wilkinson 1823 This finely engraved and beautifully hand-colored antique map depicts the Roman provinces of Pannonia, Dacia, Illyricum, and Moesia, covering a vast portion of Central and Southeastern Europe during antiquity. Published in London in 1823 by the noted English cartographer Robert Wilkinson, the map forms part of his celebrated classical atlas illustrating the geography of the ancient world through historical scholarship and archaeological interpretation. The composition centers on the Danubian frontier of the Roman Empire, one of antiquity’s most strategically important regions. The Danube River (Danubius) winds prominently across the map, marking the northern defensive boundary of Roman civilization. Surrounding territories include parts of present-day Hungary, Austria, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, and Bulgaria, rendered according to classical geographic sources and Roman provincial organization. Provincial borders are delicately highlighted in original hand color, distinguishing Pannonia, Dacia, Moesia, and Illyricum while maintaining a refined and harmonious palette typical of early nineteenth-century English atlas production. Mountain ranges, rivers, and ancient settlements are engraved with remarkable density and clarity, reflecting the period’s growing fascination with Roman military history and imperial administration. The map illustrates regions closely associated with Roman expansion under emperors such as Trajan, whose conquest of Dacia represented one of the empire’s greatest territorial achievements. Numerous classical place names appear throughout, offering insight into Roman infrastructure, frontier settlements, and trade networks along the Balkans and Carpathian regions. Wilkinson’s classical maps are admired today for combining academic precision with strong decorative appeal. Their balanced typography, elegant engraving style, and subtle coloring make them equally suitable for scholarly collections and refined interior design settings. This sheet, with its wide geographic scope and historical resonance, is particularly attractive for collectors interested in Roman history and European antiquity. A sophisticated and historically rich decorative map appealing to collectors of classical cartography, Roman antiquity, and early nineteenth-century English atlas engraving. Condition: Good antique condition overall. Light age-related toning and occasional spotting consistent with age. Minor edge wear and faint handling marks confined mainly to the margins. Plate mark visible. Framing tips: Excellent in a dark walnut or antiqued gilt frame with a warm ivory mat. A generous mat enhances the soft hand coloring and allows the detailed provincial borders to remain visually calm and readable in both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Satirical German Military Engraving of Napoleon as the Little Corporal, c1835 This 19th-century German engraving presents a humorous encounter between a marching soldier and Napoleon Bonaparte, referred to here by his well-known nickname “the Little Corporal.” The guard refuses to let Napoleon pass, replying firmly: “Man passirt nicht — Und wär’ Ihr der kleine Corporal selbst; ich sage Euch man passirt nicht” (“One does not pass — and even if you were the Little Corporal himself, I tell you one does not pass”). The composition gently satirizes Napoleon’s legendary status, contrasting the anonymous authority of a common soldier with the figure who once ruled Europe. Produced around 1830–1850, likely in a German or Austrian print workshop, the engraving reflects the wave of post-Napoleonic satire that circulated widely in Central Europe. The artist captures the exchange with strong facial expressions, detailed uniforms and a richly rendered woodland setting. Prints of this type remain popular among collectors of Napoleonic history, military art and European caricature, while the crisp impression and large sheet size make it appealing as decorative wall art as well. A charming and historically engaging image from the early 19th century, combining humour, military history and well-executed engraving work. Condition: Strong impression; light age toning; minor handling marks; margins clean with no major tears or repairs. Suitable for immediate framing. Framing: Looks best floated on off-white or pale cream museum board in a thin black, dark walnut or antiqued gold frame. Museum glass recommended to preserve contrast and period detail.

Napoleon Bonaparte on Horseback, L’Empereur – French Hand-Colored Print, 1843 This striking 19th-century hand-colored print depicts Napoleon Bonaparte in one of his most enduring and carefully constructed visual roles: the calm, commanding emperor on horseback. Shown mounted on a poised grey horse, Napoleon is rendered in his characteristic attire—dark coat, bicorne hat, and the red sash of the Legion of Honour—projecting authority, discipline, and control. His composed posture contrasts with the dynamic movement of the horse, a visual device frequently used in Napoleonic imagery to suggest mastery over both men and circumstance. Behind him, attendants and officers follow at a respectful distance, reinforcing his position as supreme commander. The sparse landscape keeps the focus firmly on Napoleon himself, turning the scene into a timeless emblem rather than a specific battlefield episode. The caption beneath the image, “L’Empereur,” leaves no ambiguity about the subject and reflects the iconic status Napoleon held in French visual culture long after his fall. This print originates from *Histoire de l’Empereur Napoléon* by P.-M. Laurent de l’Ardèche, published in Paris in 1843 and illustrated after designs by Horace Vernet, the most influential Napoleonic painter of the 19th century. Vernet’s imagery played a crucial role in shaping the posthumous legend of Napoleon, blending historical reference with idealized representation. Such prints were intended both as historical illustrations and as objects of admiration, suitable for framing in bourgeois and official interiors. As an equestrian portrait, this work belongs to a long artistic tradition associated with power, leadership, and imperial legitimacy. It remains highly appealing to collectors of Napoleonic history, French military art...

The Savory lighter designed by Alfred Dunhill. This is a rare petrol pocket lighter, created in Switzerland by La Nationale for the Alfred Dunhill Company in Paris, back in the 1936. This semi-automatic full-size lighter is the iconic and popular Savory model, crafted with art deco patterns in solid .925/.999 sterling silver and decorated with engine turned barley patterns. This very early Dunhill lighter is highly collectible. This model was originally marketed with two names, The Savory in France and The Handy in the rest of the world Brand: Dunhill-Paris. Model: Savory Semi-automatic, full size. First Produced: 1936. Material: Solid .925 Sterling silver. Weight: 56.2 Grams, (36.03 Dwt). Measurements: 50 mm by 34 mm by 12 mm (1.97 x 1.34 x 0.47 Inches). Hallmarks: Stamped with the maker's mark, the mark for the assay of the silver and signed in full as follow, "ALFRED DUNHILL PARIS FAB. SUISSE STERLING MECAN AD SAVORY BREVETTE No-806949". Alfred Dunhill He inherited his father’s London saddlery in 1893. Following the increase in motor car ownership, Alfred developed the business to include motoring accessories, which he called ‘Dunhill’s Motorities’. This included goggles, timepieces, picnic sets, and leather coats, and it wasn’t long before the brand became associated with men’s general motoring attire. They opened two shops in Mayfair and had a catalogue of over 1300 items. Between the 1904 and 1905, Dunhill introduced their ‘Windshield Pipe’, to help drivers combat the effect of wind and travel on their ability to smoke. This marked both the end of the ‘motorities’ focus and their entry into the world of smoking ephemera, and they shortly opened their first tobacconist in 1907 on Duke Street. The proximity to several esteemed Private Members Clubs around the Mayfair, St James’ area ensured that the venture was a success. (From Nicholas Wells With Thanks).
