Couverture rigide. Condition: Comme neuf. Edition originale. New-York 2018. Hardback. - Quarto size( 29,9 x 24,1 cm )( 962 gr ). -------- unpaginated. ( 96 pages ) ********* 750 copies limited .********************* "" The exhibition features selections from David Austen s career-long engagement with painting and watercolour alongside two films. This will be the London-based artist s first New York solo exhibition, offering a view into to a fertile imagination that transitions effortlessly between the formal demands of different media. Austen s works have a winsome quality about them that contrasts with the stark severity of their technical execution. Often presenting unsettling themes; a smoking disconsolate moon, or watercolours of lonely, misshapen figures engaged in ritualistic acts. His films continue the mindful austerity displayed in his art. In End of Love, staged in an empty theater, with no audience present, characters both folkloric and alien speak to their frustrations concerning the disquieting inconstancy of love. As each character gradually reveals him- or herself in the form of a poetic monologue, observers become thrust into the role of a voyeur witnessing heartbreaking soliloquies to nothingness.

From around 1913 the recipient of these two documents elected to go by the name of Ralph Tindal. On the outbreak of the Great War he was appointed captain of the destroyer Electra, and in 1917 was made captain of the torpedo gunboat Circe. Thereafter he worked with paddle minesweepers, retiring with the rank of Commander in 1921. He was the father of RAF Group Captain Nicholas Tindal-Carill-Worsley (1911-2006), one of the planners of the celebrated Great Escape from Stalag Luft III.

BNF Wellcome, British Natural History Museum. ~ Friedrich Christian Lesser was born in Nordhausen, Germany, and following a classical education, became a respected clergyman and naturalist. Insecto theologie was published in 1738 and translated into French, Italian and English. This French translation by Pierre Lyonnet (1707 1789), a prominent entomologist, was first published in 1742.

Silver gelatin negative photostatic print of two documents: 3pp, 4to (i.e. each of the three pages on 19.5 x 24 cm. leaf). The first page of Goschen's two-page 'Aide Mémoire' on a separate leaf, and the second page and von Jagow's note on different leaves of a bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged. N.B. The entire item is a photostatic copy. Reproduced at the head and down the left margin of the first page of Goschen's text are manuscript notes in German (including at top left: "A15930 pr. 4. August 1914 pm. / Von Sir E. Goschen / heute Nachmittag überprüft / 4/8 J."), and the copy also includes at the foot of this page a clue regarding the source: the typed words 'Russland 104'. Goschen's typed text (unsigned) begins: 'Aide Mémoire / Sir Edward Goschen has been informed by Sir Edward Grey [the British Foreign Minister] that His Majesty the King of the Belgians has addressed to His Majesty King George an appeal for diplomatic intervention on behalf of Belgium.' The well-known text explains that the German government's proposal of 'friendly neutrality entailing free passage through Belgian territory [.] has been categorically refused by Belgium as a flagrant violation of the Law of Nations'. The British government ask for 'an assurance that the demand made upon Belgium will not be proceeded with', and 'Sir Edward Goschen is instructed to ask for an immediate reply.' Von Jagow's note reads: 'Ich habe Sir E. Goschen geantwortet, daß wir die belgische Neutralität aus Nothwehr hätten verletzen müssen, ich habe alle unsere zwingenden Gründe auseinandergesetzt und alle in London abgegebenen Versicherungen nochmals wiederholt. / Jagow.'

Ruskin's writing rather sloppy). John Henry Le Keux (1812-1896) was a draughtsman, illustrator, engraver and print-maker (the U.K. Royal Academy). Yale University has 42 letters from Ruskin to Le Keux, mostly undated, probably from about 1854 to 1860, primarily pertaining to illustrations for Ruskin's five volume "Modern Painters", 1843-1860. Le Keux is credited with at least 15 plates in volumes three through five.
