BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES (1992-1995) - Framed Original Hand-Painted Background "The Man Who Killed Batman" Animation Cel - A moody and evocative preliminary background from Batman: The Animated Series, hand-painted by celebrated artist John Calmette for Episode 51, "The Man Who Killed Batman" (1993).While the final camera pan in the episode reveals a slightly modified background with a "Diamond Exchange" sign over the door, this earlier, almost identical iteration captures the distilled atmosphere of Gotham's skyline with graphic elegance and anticipation. Calmette's signature Art Deco geometry and theatrical use of light are on full display, from the looming vertical scale to the isolation of a single glowing streetlamp.Unusually, the piece is inscribed in the artist's own hand: "406 551, Diamond Exchange, sc. B60, Batman, J. Calmette", a rare dedication for internal production work. Painted on black paper rather than the usual white in animation, this was a deliberate stylistic choice by the art department to enhance the show's noir shadows and dramatic compositions. As a result, the atmosphere isn't layered on in post-production or FX cels; it's embedded in the very base of the painting. Gotham breathes here…quiet, stylised, and waiting to detonate. A beautifully preserved and highly displayable original, this is a compelling acquisition for collectors drawn to the visual world-building of the series as much as the action within it.It comes mounted within a black frame with plexiglass and features a hanging wire on the reverse. The frame displays minor marks, and the lot comes with a Warner Bros. Animation Art certificate of authenticity. Dimensions (framed): 16" x 21.75" x 1" (41 x 55 x 2.5 cm)Sold without copyright; see copyright notice in the Buyer's Guide.VAT Status: M

Apollo 11 Astronaut Neil Armstrong signed 10 x 8 inch colour WSS photo, White space suit image dedicated to Bill Godward. 1st moonwalker. Original NASA Litho with printed information on reverse. Big bold autograph and now exceedingly rare. Neil Alden Armstrong (August 5, 1930 - August 25, 2012) was an American astronaut and aeronautical engineer who, in 1969, became the first person to walk on the Moon. He was also a naval aviator, test pilot, and university professor. Armstrong was born and raised in Wapakoneta, Ohio. He entered Purdue University, studying aeronautical engineering, with the U.S. Navy paying his tuition under the Holloway Plan. He became a midshipman in 1949 and a naval aviator the following year. He saw action in the Korean War, flying the Grumman F9F Panther from the aircraft carrier USS Essex. After the war, he completed his bachelor's degree at Purdue and became a test pilot at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) High-Speed Flight Station at Edwards Air Force Base in California. He was the project pilot on Century Series fighters and flew the North American X-15 seven times. He was also a participant in the U.S. Air Force's Man in Space Soonest and X-20 Dyna-Soar human spaceflight programs. Armstrong joined the NASA Astronaut Corps in the second group, which was selected in 1962. He made his first spaceflight as command pilot of Gemini 8 in March 1966, becoming NASA's first civilian astronaut to fly in space. During this mission with pilot David Scott, he performed the first docking of two spacecraft; the mission was aborted after Armstrong used some of his re-entry control fuel to stabilize a dangerous roll caused by a stuck thruster. During training for Armstrong's second and last spaceflight as commander of Apollo 11, he had to eject from the Lunar Landing Research Vehicle moments before a crash. On July 20, 1969, Armstrong and Apollo 11 Lunar Module (LM) pilot Buzz Aldrin became the first people to land on the Moon, and the next day they spent two and a half hours outside the Lunar Module Eagle spacecraft while Michael Collins remained in lunar orbit in the Apollo Command Module Columbia. When Armstrong first stepped onto the lunar surface, he famously said: "That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind." It was broadcast live to an estimated 530 million viewers worldwide. Apollo 11 was a major U.S. victory in the Space Race, by fulfilling a national goal proposed in 1961 by President John F. Kennedy "of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth" before the end of the decade. Along with Collins and Aldrin, Armstrong was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Richard Nixon and received the 1969 Collier Trophy. President Jimmy Carter presented him with the Congressional Space Medal of Honor in 1978, he was inducted into the National Aviation Hall of Fame in 1979, and with his former crewmates received the Congressional Gold Medal in 2009. After he resigned from NASA in 1971, Armstrong taught in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Cincinnati until 1979. He served on the Apollo 13 accident investigation and on the Rogers Commission, which investigated the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. In 2012, Armstrong died because of complications resulting from coronary bypass surgery, at the age of 82. Good condition. All autographs come with a Certificate of Authenticity.

David Wilkie (1785-1841) (After) “The Blind Fiddler (1806),” a copy made c 1810, O.O.C., approx.. 61cms x 74cms (24” x 29”). (1) This oil on canvas is a superb copy of The Blind Fiddler, a genre painting by the Scottish artist David Wilkie. It was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1806, to great acclaim, and is now in Tate Britain. Influenced by David Teniers, The Blind Fiddler is well composed and well crafted. In the large kitchen of a cottage, seated on a stool, a fiddler plays a tune in front of a group of women, children and men. While the location of the cottage is not specified, it is probably in Scotland. The audience looks to be an extended family group, ranging from the youngest child to the oldest man. The fiddler’s violin case is at his feet, alongside a travelling bag. Seated closest to him, a woman, wearing a brown cloak and with an infant in her arms, listens attentively. Two men stand in front of the fireplace, the older one regarding the fiddler with admiration, while beside him, a younger man snaps his fingers, attracting the attention of an infant. At the front of the group are two children, one trailing a toy wagon with a broken wheel. On the extreme right, a young lad mimics the fiddler, cheerfully playing a toy violin. In the foreground, beside a cooking pot and a watering can, is a wooden box with vegetables lying on the floor. A knife and a half-peeled potato suggests that the unexpected arrival of the travelling musician has brought everyday activity to a halt in the cottage, as the family gathers to hear him play. Such details are characteristic of Wilkie, a genre painter whose skill in rendering everyday scenes did not stand in the way of his understanding of his medium and its limitations. The man snapping his fingers to entertain the child cannot be heard by the viewer, nor can the music of the fiddler, nor the boy capering about behind the group. Such inferences, left to the imagination of the viewer, are a characteristic of Wilkie’s art. He had a keen eye for everyday details of interiors, including fireplaces, utensils, ornaments and furniture. In his painting Rent Day, a queue of people in a sparsely furnished room wait to pay their rent to the landlord’s agent sitting at a table, while in Reading the Will, the action also centres around a table in a large plain drawing room. Wilkie’s work was immensely popular and several of his paintings, including The Village Politicians, were engraved by Raimbach, and published as prints. The present work is an accurate copy of the original, and was likely painted in the early nineteenth century. Dr. Peter Murray 2025

[Battle of Waterloo Interest] - Lieutenant George Woodberry Journals, 1813-1815 Two manuscript journals beginning on the 18th January 1813 and finishing on the 16th July 1815, comprising 436 manuscript pages about Lieutenant George Woodberry's experiences in the 18th Hussars, including a detailed three-and-a-half page description of the Battle of Waterloo, volume 2 including hand-drawn and coloured illustrations of a Basque man and woman, and a family in Chapel de Haspare, the neatness and absence of erasures in these journals means that it is possible they are copies of original notes made in the field, each bound in diced calf, 16 x 24cm, volume 1 pp.107-8 has a small tear with loss to a few words, Mid-September – December 1813 do not seem to be included but a large number of blank leaves are present in place of these dates, in volume 2 pp.41-42 (13th-14th February 1814) has been cut out, pp.135-6 are missing, and pp.225-6 damaged with lower section torn, no loss to text (2) Bookplate of George Woodberry to the second volume (appears to have been removed from the first]; and thence by descent. Originally published in French in 1896, then in English by Gareth Glover (Pen & Sword, October 2017) as With Wellington’s Hussars in the Peninsula and at Waterloo, The Journals of Lieutenant George Woodberry, 18th Hussars, 1813-15. According to a letter from Oxford University Press, dated 1964, it appears the OUP considered publishing the journals around this time but this seems not to have come to fruition. One manuscript copy of the journal, covering January-September 1813 (the first volume of this journal) is held in the National Army Museum in Chelsea. It is possible that this copy is that used by Georges Helie for his French edition in 1896.George Woodberry was born in April 1792, probably in Worcester, England. He appears to have been an intelligent and articulate young man and presumably received a good education. He joined the army, aged 20, in January 1812. In January 1813, with six troops of the 18th Hussars, George departed for Portugal to join the Duke of Wellington's Army at the Portuguese border. The intention was to wait for the spring before attempting to drive the French Army out of the country. George provides a detailed description of his travels, encounters with locals and the battles he participates in. From the beginning, his descriptions contain a sense of excitement:23rd January at the Bay of Biscay:“two women on board very ill, one boy Lt up on deck in a very fainting state, gave them some of my Brandy & grits. One of them this evening attempted to throw herself overboard:- all bustle and confusion. – an American privateer chasing us and we are to windward of the fleet. But we sail too fast for the Yankees…”And Olite, Friday 16th July 1813:“…I visited the Nunnery this afternoon. The Nuns gave me a Cup of Chocolate and some sweet cakes: they informed me that about 2 years ago a Nun escaped with a French Officer, but he was obliged after a very short time to give her up to the Convent where she was condemned directly to the punishment of immuring: and she survived only a fortnight: - what greater punishment can there be on Earth than to be confined between four narrow walls only open at the Top and thence to be half supported with Bread and Water…” He provides detailed descriptions of battles in which he participated, such as the Battle of Vitoria on 21st June 1813:“The action commenced at Nine O'Clock in the morning and the Enemy were quickly driven from the height of Pueblo [sic.] by the Comps[?] under Sir Rowland Hill, the Action became very severe and the Enemy were driven down the heights…”In the second volume of his journal, Woodberry crucially devotes a whole 3.5 pages to the Battle of Waterloo:“We remained in our Bivouac till 10 o’clock when the Bugle sounded and we turned out:- we expected the Army were going to advance in concert with the Prussians under Blucher – but judge our surprise when we arrived on the Position (our place being the extreme of the Left) we beheld several strong Columns of the Enemys advancing to the Attack, and to find our Piquets assailled [sic.] by the Enemies Cavalry, which drove ours in some distance…the Battle commenced and continued with the most frightful Carnage…"He continues with a description of the set-up and positions of the armies:“The Nassau troops soon abandoned their post but the Enemy met with such resistance from the Guard in the house they were compelled to desert from their enterprise on this side leaving a great number of Killed and Wounded on the spot…”“…The Enemy opened a horrible fire of Artillery from more than 200 pieces under cover of the Smoke of which Buonaparte made a General attack with the Cavalry and Infantry in such number that it required all the Skill of Wellington to post his Troops & all the good qualities of the latter to resist the Attack – …““…The French Army was defeated. Every one must admire the Gallantry shown by the Enemy’s Cavalry…”“…the Charge was sounded and the most dreadful havoc commenced and the most glorious of all Victories closed the 18th June…”Literature: Glover, Gareth, editor, With Wellington's Hussars in the Peninsula and at Waterloo, the Journals of Lieutenant George Woodberry, 18th Hussars, 1813-15.

[ABDICATION CRISIS] HOARE SAMUEL: (1880-1959) British politician, First Lord of the Admiralty 1936-37 and Home Secretary 1937-39. An important and historical A.L.S., Sam, two pages, 4to, Admiralty House, 10th December n.y. (1936), to Lord Beaverbrook ('Dear Max'), marked Personal. Written on the day that King Edward VIII signed the Instrument of Abdication, Hoare announces 'I have not telephoned or come round today or yesterday as I was, on your advice, sitting back in the final acts of this tragic farce' and continues 'It was clear to me yesterday that the denouement was inevitable. I tried my best to the end to make renunciation possible, but the King would not move an inch. To what depths can folly descend!' Hoare further states 'In any case I am glad and grateful that another crisis brought us together again. It is almost a year to a day since my resignation. The first friendly word from outside came from you. I never forget these things nor shall I forget our talks of the last fortnight, and your manifest wish to help me in my career.' A letter of interesting content written on a pivotal day in the history of the British monarchy. One neat tear to the right edge of a central fold, only very slightly affecting one word of text, otherwise VG Max Aitken (1879-1964) 1st Baron Beaverbrook. Anglo-Canadian Business Tycoon, Politician & Writer, owner of the Daily Express and London Evening Standard newspapers. In June 1936 Hoare became First Lord of the Admiralty and in November 1936 he was (with Duff Cooper, the then Secretary of State for War) sought out by Edward VIII to provide independent advice and counsel on the King's constitutional problems. Initially the King attempted to convert him into a champion of his cause hoping that Hoare would speak up in defence of his right to marry when the matter came up for formal discussion in the Cabinet. In the King's memoirs A King's Story (1951) he recounted this first meeting, "But I failed to win him as an advocate. He was sympathetic; but he also was acutely conscious of the political realities. Mr. Baldwin, he warned me, was in command of the situation: the senior Ministers were solidly with him on this issue. If I were to press my marriage project on the Cabinet I should meet a stone wall of opposition. I saw Mr. Duff Cooper at the Palace later the same day.....He was as encouraging and optimistic as Sam Hoare had been pessimistic and discouraging." Hoare's second meeting with the King took place at the end of November, about which the King wrote, "At this juncture, the scene shifted momentarily to Stornoway House where Max Beaverbrook, ever since his return from America, had worked feverishly to rally support for me in whatever quarters it might be found.....Mr. Baldwin was aware of what Max Beaverbrook was up to; and no doubt hoping to check the forces beginning to rally round my cause, he despatched Sir Samuel Hoare on Sunday, the 29th, to explain the attitude of the Government towards the King. The message which the First Lord of the Admiralty bore was ominous indeed. It was that the Ministers stood with Mr. Baldwin---"no breach exists: there is no light or leaning in the King's direction." Then the First Lord fired his second salvo. "The publicity," he said, "is about to break." Many Ministers, he added, were restless and dissatisfied over the failure of the Press to publish facts of a crisis already the talk of the rest of the world. He stressed Mr. Baldwin's desire that the Press, like the Cabinet, should form an unbroken front against the proposed marriage. It was an undisguised invitation for Max Beaverbrook to change sides. His answer was: "I have already taken the King's shilling, I am a King's man."On 4th December the King learned of an earlier meeting between Beaverbrook and Hoare, of which he commented "So the day had not been all debits as far as I was concerned. From Stornoway House Max Beaverbrook, sensing the favourable upsurge in public opinion, had steadily hammered away on the theme of delay. I must not allow myself, he urged, to be harried and hurried into precipitous action. He had seen Sir Samuel Hoare again, and in conversation with him had formed the impression that many Ministers were troubled by the turn the crisis had taken, and would welcome a withdrawal of my request for advice on the morganatic marriage proposal. But I was wearied to the point of exhaustion." Finally during the morning of 10th December 1936 (the day Hoare wrote the present letter to Beaverbrook) the King signed the Instrument of Abdication.
