DICKENS, CHARLESAutograph letter signed with holograph envelope. Single page on bifolium of Gad's Hill Place stationery, dated December 20th, 1869, a third-person letter to the Secretary of the School for the Indigent Blind (near the Obelisk, St. Georges Fields London), signed twice in the body of the text. 7 x 4 1/2 inches (17.75 x 11.5 cm); Dickense sends two copies of The Old Curiosity Shop printed in raised letters for the use of the blind as made by the husband of Julia Ward Howe. Smudging to the envelope, but the letter generally clean; usual folds.During his visit to America, Dickens visited the Perkins School for the Blind in Massachusetts, then at the forefront of the printing of works for the use of the blind. He saw Howe's process for creating books with an embossed alphabet and arranged to have a quantity of books especially made. These bear the statement on the title that they are "Presented by the Author to the Blind."No condition report?

Jacobus Storck, 1641 Amsterdam – um 1692ANSICHT EINES GROSSEN MEDITERRANEN HAFENSÖl auf Holz.47 x 63 cm.Mittig unten auf der Basis des Obelisken signiert „Storck“.Im Zentrum einer großen Hafenanlage steht ein Obelisk am Ufer, der in den hellblauen Himmel ragt und das Bild quasi in zwei Hälften teilt. Links fällt der Blick auf das Meer mit einem ankernden, niederländisch beflaggten Prunkschiff, der wohl gerade einen Kanonenschuss zur Begrüßung abgibt. Am flachen Ufer liegt eine Gondel und ein gerade angekommenes Boot, sowie ein Händler mit seinen Fässern und Krügen. Rechts des Obelisken führt eine breite Treppe zu mehreren vornehm gekleideten Herrschaften, darunter auch ein Mann mit Turban. Dahinter erstreckt sich ein breiter Uferweg, an dem ein hoher Bau, vermutlich ein Schloss, sowie ein seitlich flankierter Torbogen als Eingang zu sehen sind. Zudem sind weitere Staffagefiguren abgebildet, darunter einige Männer mit Turban, die auf internationale Handelsbeziehungen zwischen den Händlern hinweisen dürften. Qualitätvolle vielfigurige Malerei in der Manier des Künstlers.Der Maler stand weitgehend im Schatten seines Bruders Abraham Jansz Storck (um 1635-1710) und widmete sich im Gegensatz zu diesem vermehrt den Rheinlandschaften mit landschaftlichen Wiedergaben der Binnenschifffahrt. Gelegentlich entstanden auch Werke in Zusammenarbeit der beiden Brüder. Der überwiegende Teil seiner signierten Werke entstand, entsprechend den Datierungen, zwischen 1664 und 1687.

Michele Giovanni Marieschi (1696/1710 Venedig – 1743 ebenda) und Francesco Guardi (1712 – 1793)CAPRICCIO MIT KIRCHE UND OBELISKÖl auf Leinwand.82,8 x 117,7 cm.Verso mit mehreren älteren Etiketten.In à jour gearbeitetem Louis XV Stilrahmen.Beigegeben eine Expertise von Dario Succi, Gorizia, die Arbeit Michele Marieschi gebend. Ein weiter Platz mit großzügigem quadratischem Bodenbelag dient als Grund für einen gestuften Obelisken, der auf einem hochrechteckigen Sockel und Kugelfüßen ruht und in einer Zierspitze mit Kugel endet. Rechts eine Freitreppe mit Kirchenpokal und Blick bis zur Vierung über der eine mächtige Rundkuppel mit hoher Laterne erhebt. Dahinter ein ummauerter Garten, der in schlanken Zypressen in lichtem Blau endet und von sanften Hügeln und einer leicht abgesenkten Stadt endet. Die Figuren, die mit den Dimensionen der Kirche in Wettstreit zu stehen scheinen, sind elegant gekleidet und teilweise beritten. Die Figuren sind, wie bereits verschiedentlich in der Literatur angemerkt wurde, auch für Toledano entweder Antonio oder Francesco Guardi zuzuweisen.Michele Marieschi war nur eine kurze Lebens- und Schaffenszeit gegönnt. Nach seinen Lehrjahren und der Tätigkeit als Theatermaler in Deutschland kehrt er 1735 nach Venedig zurück, wo er zwischen 1735 und 1741 Mitglied der Malergilde Fraglia dei Pittori wurde. Francesco Guardi entstammte einer alten, geadelten Malerfamilie, arbeitete mit seinen Brüdern Giovanni und Nicolò im familieneigenen Atelier und gilt als Schüler und Nachfolger von Giovanni Antonio Canal.

The angry mob railed against religious dissenters, most notably the controversial scientist Dr. Joseph Priestly for his support of the French Revolution, burning down his and other properties together with the Old and New Meeting Houses. Captain John Polhill led a detachment of the 15th (King’s) Regiment of Light Dragoons, successfully suppressing the riots. The Birmingham Civic authorities presented Captain Polhill with a ceremonial sword (now held at the National Army Museum), and this jewelled medallion in grateful thanks for his services.

Follower of François Boucher,  French 1703-1770- Putti surrounded by garlands, with an obelisk behind; black chalk heightened with white and sanguine chalk on blue paper, bears faint signature 'F. Boucher' (to the scroll, lower left), bears initials 'F.B' (lower right), bears collector's stamp (lower left), 29 x 24.6 cm. Note:  The present work, featuring plump putti in an imagined classical setting, is very much inspired by Boucher's compositions, recalling, for example, his 'La Cible d'Amour' of 1758, in the collection of the Louvre [INV 2715]. In particular, the central putto's position, with his face downturned and his arms outstretched, holding aloft a garland of flowers, is strikingly similar to that in the present drawing.
