The Schneider Trophy contest is possibly the most famous air race of all time. The British Supermarine team won the final three contests in 1927, 1929 and 1931, and R.J. Mitchell’s pioneering sea-plane designs were of immense value in the development of the Spitfire. 1929 was also significant in that Aircraftsman T.E. Shaw (Lawrence of Arabia) was seconded to the British high speed flight on his return from India and assisted in preparations for the race.

Imprint: Lug. Batavorum [Leiden], Ex Officina Elzeviriana, 1625
Edition: First Edition Binding: Hardback 4to. First Elzevir edition, and the first edition overall of the second part. pp. [xvi], xvi, 855, [xli]. With engraved title page but lacking the portrait of Elizabeth I by Crispin van Queboren. An engraved potrait of similar vintage (measuring 12.5 x 7.5 cms) has been mounted and bound in facing the title. It’s clearly derived from van Queboren’s plate, although reversed, and may well be from the 1639 8vo Elzevir edition (Willems 475). Latin text, occasional marginalia. Eighteenth century red morocco, slightly rubbed. Book-label of T. Fentiman & Sons, booksellers in Leeds, on front pastedown.
Camden is justly famous for his Britannia, first published in 1586. The Annales, covering the reign of Elizabeth I, were written at the instigation of Lord Burghley, who granted Camden extraordinary access to his personal and state papers. The first part appeared in 1615 but the second part of the work was printed posthumously here., Willems: 227.

York Stairs is the last intact water gate on the River Thames and the only remains of the once splendid mansion of the Dukes of Buckingham. Bazalgette’s Victoria Embankment has encroached on the Thames significantly, so that the water gate is now set well back from the river in gardens adjacent to Embankment Station.
