HOW TO FISH (1942) - Goofy Original Production Cel - An original production cel from How to Fish, one of Disney's beloved "How To" shorts starring Goofy. The "How To" series began in the early 1940s and became one of Goofy's defining formats. These shorts, narrated with a mock-serious instructional tone, placed Goofy in a series of sporting situations intent on showing everyone 'how to' do it properly and encourage outdoor endeavours, like fishing, skiing, or golfing. The Goofy comedy unfolds through his bumbling but earnest attempts to master each task. The dry gravitas of the narration, offset by Goofy's slapstick chaos, became an enduring hallmark of the series.Goofy's character development through the 1930s and 1940s saw him evolve from a gangly background comic figure into a full-fledged star. Under the guidance of animators like Jack Kinney, who directed many of the "How To" shorts, and the voice talent of Pinto Colvig, Goofy was shaped into the lovable "everyman" audiences still cherish today. His clumsy resilience and good-natured optimism have made him one of Disney's most relatable and enduring characters.Artwise, these cels are beautifully crafted, with expressive linework, physical comedy, and fluid motion. The addition of effects like water splashes or props like the fishing rod added extra technical challenge and artistry to the production, making a cel setup like this especially appealing.This cel has been beautifully trimmed to the image, including the delicate splash effects and Goofy's fishing rod, and is presented on a Disneyland background that complements the action perfectly. With its fantastic pose and expression, this piece captures classic Goofy charm at its best. It comes presented in a card mount. Dimensions (mounted): 39.5 cm x 45.75 cm (15.5" x 18")Sold without copyright; see copyright notice in the Buyer's Guide.This item will ship from our LA facilityVAT Status: US

Vividly capturing the energy of the green, this Leroy Neiman lithograph titled Westchester Golf Classic features Neiman's signature expressionist brushwork and electric palette. The 1979 scene centers on a golfer swinging out of a sand trap before a large crowd, with the historic Westchester Country Club rising in the background. Leroy Neiman was one of the most iconic American artists of the 20th century, widely known for his bold, colorful depictions of sporting events, leisure activities, and celebrities. With a style that merges impressionism with pop art vibrancy, Neiman chronicled the glamour and intensity of modern life through a unique lens. He served as an official artist for the Olympics and created illustrations for Playboy and Sports Illustrated, firmly embedding his vision in American culture. His work remains highly collectible for its recognizable aesthetic and energetic spirit. This print is hand-signed in the lower margin and also bears a printed signature and date within the plate. Professionally matted and housed in a gilded black-edged frame, the artwork radiates Neiman's dynamic sense of movement and celebration of athletic achievement.

A very fine Scottish sporting pen work decorated sewing box, probably by Charles Stiven of Laurencekirk, full length wooden hinge, circa 1825 / 1830, the cushion lid with a scene of race horses by a stable (possibly Newmarket), in an open landscape, the main horses minutely and discreetly named in the foreground and from left to right Miss Craven with jockey up, the rear of a horse being saddled by a groom, Brocard with jockey up and a top hatted groom beyond, Fair Helen held by a top hatted groom, Lamplighter with jockey up and Skiff held by a groom, a jockey holding its saddle, a further horse and gentleman rider in the distance, all set within a border of roses, thistles and shamrocks emblematic of the union. The upper border centred by a racing trophy flanked by fruiting vines, the lower border with a fox mask above a hunting horn within a wreath.                                                  † The sides gently curved and decorated as follows:                                                                           † To the front an extensive hunting scene with six scarlet coated huntsmen on horseback, a whipper in on horseback wearing a bowler hat and numerous hounds at full cry, set amid fences and trees.                                                                           †  The left side with three hunting dogs in an open landscape, again minutely and discreetly named – Ruin, Tiney and Balloon.                                                                           †  The right side with three fox hounds in a kennel or stable interior apparently unnamed.                                                                           †  The back with a central panel of a dog amid trees in an open landscape flanked by a vertical panel of a hare and a snipe or woodcock.                                                                           †  The lid interior lined in watered green silk with a ruched fall front panel over a lidded and compartmentalised tray in the style of Edwards with a selection of steel tools and two silver thimbles.                                                                           †  The edge of the box to the right of the lock inscribed in ink ‘Drawings by – Helenora Lady Maxwell’. The inscription is almost certainly erroneous, the pen work is of the highest professional standard and by no possibility the work of a talented lady amateur artist, however the inscription does provide a plausible connection between the likely owner of the box and at least one of the horses depicted.                                                                           † Lt. General Sir John Shaw Maxwell, 4th Baronet of Springkell (b. 29.06 1772 d. 29.01.1830) married Mary Heron and hence became Sir John Heron Maxwell, he had a sister Helenora, Lady Maxwell (b. 13.12.1765), who married on January 28th 1788, Claude Alexander of Ballochmyle (b. 1752 d. 1809). Ballochmyle was a large estate about a mile outside the village of Mauchline. The horse, Fair Helen, the central horse on the lid, was bought by Sir John Henry Maxwell in 1821 and in that year won eight races including the Earl of Derbys Plate at Preston and the Gold Cup at Carlisle, a trophy Fair Helen won again in 1824 and possibly the trophy illustrated on the lid border. Fair Helen was retired to stud in 1825. All the horses named on the lid, apart from Fair Helen, were retired to stud in 1830 but is no apparent connection between the named horses.                                                  †The box appears to be that published in Sylvia Groves The History of Needlework Tools and Accessories, 1966, as plate 94 which states the box was made for John Taylor of Tyrone in 1820 as an intended betrothal gift, stating that it is lined in blue silk. The box is further described on page 66 and is listed in the photographic credits as being the property of Mrs Z. Watkin, who is credited with photographs of six of the boxes illustrated in the book. There seems little doubt this is the same box, but why discrepancies in the box and its attribution should have occurred is unexplained                                                           †  Details of all the horses named on the lid, their owners, dates and wins, can be viewed here: www.bit.ly/Lot-362                                                                                                      †  The box was purchased by Ann Wick on the 6th February 2007 from Arca Antiques (R. and E.

RAINIER III: (1923-2005) Sovereign Prince of Monaco 1949-2005. An excellent, lengthy T.L.S., Rainier, Prince de Monaco, with holograph salutation and subscription of eleven lines, ten pages (separate leaves), 4to, Palais de Monaco, 20th November 1968, to Marcel Palmaro (´Mon Cher Marcel´), President Delegate of the Board of Directors of the Société des Bains de Mer (S.B.M.), in French. The Prince commences his letter stating ´The problem of the S.B.M. is close to my heart, as you know, it bothers me and concerns me, as I'm sure you can imagine. I therefore believe it useful and even essential to put in writing all my thoughts, observations and criticisms of the current operation and management of the S.B.M., in the hope that you will benefit from them. I was struck by the tone of your letter of 25 October, because although I am writing to you personally to share with you certain facts that may concern me in terms of the best operation of the Société, it is certainly not the automatic transcription of gossip that I am going to echo to you! I therefore find it difficult to accept the wording of the first paragraph of your letter of 25 October, the terms of which, you will agree, are addressed more to one of your employees than to the Sovereign Prince!! I will attribute this wording to your understandable exasperation at the repeated reports of the boycott of service by the staff of the Société's hotels and restaurants´, further remarking ´Si vous arrivez à lancer rapidemet ces deux poles de collaboration, votre fonction será alors comparable à un chef d´orchestre qui donne le ton et les moyens d´exécution et de réalisation, ce qui serait le moyen le plus harmonieux et le plus valable pour redonner à Monte-Carlo l´attrait qui´il semble perdre de plus chaque année´ (Translation: ´If you manage to quickly launch these two centres of collaboration, your role will be comparable to that of a conductor who sets the tone and the means of execution and realisation, which would be the most harmonious and most valid way to restore to Monte-Carlo the appeal that it seems to be losing more and more each year´) and continuing to discuss various aspects of Monte Carlo under nine individual titles, in part, ´The attached long memo will give you my thoughts and express my wishes and hopes in various areas. This document can and should be useful to you, I have written it with this in mind and I think that there will be no doubt in your mind. Before ending this letter, I will answer some of the questions in your letter: Monte-Carlo Beach – It is necessary to transform this complex into a club, and I believe that the best formula would be to create this complex, which I have been talking about for so long, grouping the tennis and the beach, all of which could be called ‘Monte-Carlo Country Club’, following the American formula which is already successful in all the cities of America…….De Galea Collection – I am not absolutely set on the location of this collection on the ground floor of the new Government offices; it was a possibility. There is a tourist circuit that you know, which the coaches and tourists do not deviate from, which is why I thought that placing this collection on the Rock would increase the number of tourists visiting it. Installing it in Monte-Carlo is not a bad idea, provided that it has no association with the games or activities of the Casino. For my part, I do not think that this collection can find its place in the former winter sporting club before the game leaves this establishment to move to the new summer-winter sporting club on the Larvotto esplanade…….Development of the Larvotto Esplanade - In the report I received of the meeting of the Cooperation Commission on 4 November, I see that there is talk of calling the Sporting Club du Larvotto the ‘Summer and Winter Palace’. I don't like this name at all, and I would like you to remove it immediately from all projects, plans, etc. There is only one palace in the Principality, and that is the Prince's palace on the Rock. There has already been some confusion with the ‘Palais du Gouvernement’, the residence of the Minister of State, which I am still trying to get them to call the ‘Ministry of State’!.......On this open space, around the new sporting club and the hotel, a park could be created in which luxury bungalows would be built, to be rented or sold, and a few buildings of 4 to 6 storeys maximum, with one apartment per floor, for high-standing and important clients of the company........Residential District – I believe this is very important, because little by little the Principality is losing the residential districts it had before, made up of villas in green areas; this formula must be recreated.........Hotel project on the Sea Club site - You know the increasingly urgent need for Monte-Carlo to increase its hotel potential if we want to make a useful contribution to tourism throughout the year... You know very well that I don't have a particular liking for the Holiday Inn chain and that if I welcomed their project with a certain enthusiasm, it was because it was one of the first and only hotel chains that really intended to finance, build and operate a new hotel in the Principality……..I think I am right in saying that the ‘bricks and mortar’ investment, particularly in hotel construction, is an excellent investment for the Principality, because at least this one will last!.......Personally, I think it is quite normal that for a large, new, quality hotel that is being built, the S.B.M. allows, in a form that suits it best, games to be operated within the hotel grounds; I do not believe that this could be detrimental to the Casino, on the contrary, it will stimulate the revival of gambling among a wider clientele´ and in concluding adds ´I myself have received criticism from friends and acquaintances regarding the decline in the quality of service in the rooms and restaurants, and even the decline in the quality of the food. I have noticed this decline myself on several occasions during lunches or dinners in the catering establishments of the S.B.M. So there is some truth to it, it is not just a ’ cabal’, and I believe that vigilance is absolutely necessary, and that if the starting point of this decline in service comes from a certain “boycott” of the staff, exemplary sanctions should be given without hesitation in order to put a stop to a petty policy that risks spreading and thus harming the community, which is and must be my constant concern as well as yours´).

A large Victorian silver-gilt figural trophy, mark of Robert Garrard II (Garrard & Co. Ltd.), London 1842, depicting Sir Robert Bruce and Henry de Bohun on horseback, the former holding his sword aloft, the other falling back, on a shaped base chased to simulate grass, marked to base, knight's helmet and horses' reins,40cm wide41cm deep72cm high, 334oztThis figural centrepiece, depicting the combat between King Robert the Bruce of Scotland and the English knight Lord Henry de Bohun, at the battle of Bannockburn, corresponds to a rare engraving of the Goodwood Cup trophy from 1842, designed by Edmund Cotterill (1795-1860) and made by Garrard.The Goodwood Cup, established in 1808, is a flat race ran at the Goodwood Racecourse in West Sussex in late July or early August. The race is open to horses aged three years or older and – together with the Ascot Gold Cup and the Doncaster Cup – forms part of the Stayers’ Triple Crown.Edmund Cotterill became Garrard's head designer in 1833 and was responsible for the firm's more important presentation pieces, which had reached their height of popularity during the 1840s-60s. Garrard's, along with their rivals Hunt and Roskell, were the leading makers of such sculptural groups, centrepieces and sporting cups, the most important of which are the prize racing cups for Ascot, Goodwood and Doncaster.For another Goodwood silver trophy by Garrard, see Christie's, 'The Collector: Silver and 19th-Century Furniture, Sculpture, Ceramics & Works of Art', 14 November 2019, lot 426.
