An ivory Woodsman, c.1880, standing shouldering two bundles of faggots, his gourd and axe in his sash, the whole coral coloured, lacks signature reserve and stick, 19.3cm high It is difficult to conceive this figure being artificially stained intentionally; it is either some subsequent accidental event or pigmentation in the tusk. It is known that the colour of ivory depends on what the elephant ate, but this tint has not been previously noted.

* Irvine (Andrew Comyn, 1902-1924). The Original 1924 Mount Everest Expedition Agreement, signed and dated by Irvine, 19 November 1923, comprising one typed covering letter on Mount Everest Committee headed notepaper, dated 17 November 1923, signed by Sydney Spencer, Joint Secretary, and two typed pages explaining the details of the agreement, the second page signed in black ink by A. Comyn Irvine and dated 19 Nov. 23, lightly creased where previously folded, with original manilla envelope. Andrew ‘Sandy’ Comyn Irvine (6 April 1904-8 June 1924) was an English mountaineer who took part in the 1924 British Expedition (the third British expedition to the world’s highest 8,848m mountain). The expedition made two unsuccessful attempts on the summit in early June and there was time for one more before heavy snowfall would make climbing too dangerous. This last chance fell to the expedition’s most experienced climber, George Mallory and to the surprise of other expedition members, Mallory chose as his companion the young and inexperienced Irvine above the older, more seasoned climber, Noel Odell. Mallory and Irvine began their ascent on 6th June and by the end of the next day, the pair had established a final two-man camp at 8,168m (26,800 feet) from which to make their final push on the summit. Both Mallory and Irvine disappeared somewhere high on the mountain’s north east ridge and it has never been established whether or not they reached the summit. An ice axe, possibly belonging to Irvine was found in 1933 and in May 1999, a 1924 oxygen cylinder was found (but not recovered until May 1999), which almost certainly belonged to Mallory and Irvine. Mallory’s body was discovered in May 1999 but Irvine has never been found. It has been suggested that this historical and poignant document is in effect a signed death warrant. (4)
