Flemish or Italian school. 16th century.“1536: Franco-Ottoman strategic alliance between the lily and the moon.”Oil on panel.77,5 x 94,5 cm.Magnificent panel reflecting the Franco-Ottoman alliance, also known as the Franco-Turkish alliance, established in 1536 between the King of France Francis I and the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire Suleiman I the Magnificent. With the handing over of this ring, this strategic, sometimes tactical, alliance is symbolically sealed as one of France's most important external alliances, particularly influential during the Italian Wars, reaching its climax with the invasion of Corsica around 1553, during the reign of Henry II of France.This was an exceptional, non-ideological pact between a Christian state and a Muslim state, which caused a scandal in the Christian world. Carl Jacob Burckhardt (1947) called it “the sacrilegious union of the lily and the moon”. It lasted intermittently for more than two and a half centuries, until the Napoleonic campaign in Ottoman Egypt in 1798-1801.In an architectural space or frame, the encounter takes place: at the center of the work, two powers that are friendly, in an effective way, giving each other a ring. Under solid architecture made of ashlar stone, with great detail and avoiding monotony as far as possible, the figures meet, full of light and color. The artist, with superb mastery, fills this space with an almost breathable atmosphere, with stories and great expressive force both in movement and in the gestures of feelings depicted through his brush strokes.

Juan Baptista Franconio. Late 16th century, based on the casting of Michelangelo Buonarroti's model."Christ"Gilded bronze sculpture with silver perizonium.22.5 x 21 cm.Cross Size: 52,5 x 29 cm.Magnificent gilded bronze Christ. This is one of the pieces obtained by casting bronze from the model by Michelangelo, which Juan Baptista Franconio, an Italian silversmith, brought to Seville in 1597 from Rome, where he settled.The significance of the Christ by Michelangelo was such that it was one of the inspirational works of art that led Juan Martínez Montañés to create his Christ of the Chalices. Francisco Pacheco recounts this in his posthumously published "Art of Painting" in Seville in 1649.He mentions that Martínez Montañés made this sculpture following the posture of another Christ, describing it as follows: "Michaelangelo, the illustrious light of painting and sculpture, made a crucifix with four nails for a model, which we can now enjoy. Juan Baptista Franconio, a brave silversmith, brought it to this city, cast in bronze, in 1597, and after enriching all painters and sculptors with it, he gave the original to Pablo de Céspedes, a canon of the Holy Church of Córdoba, who held it with great esteem around his neck." It is now known that the original is, for the moment, unaccounted for.Pacheco also specifies in his writing that he applied on January 17th (1600) a matte polychrome to the first of these four-nail crucifixes he cast.One of the painters whose work was enriched by being able to capture such a sculptural marvel on canvas, was Diego Velázquez, due to family ties, as he was Pacheco's son-in-law. In Anselmo López Morais' article “Crucifijo de Miguel Ángel (Un ejemplar en colección particular de Orense)” (Crucifix by Michelangelo (A specimen in a private collection in Ourense))' the 'two portraits he made in 1620 in Seville of Mother Jerónima de la Fuente (one in the Prado Museum in Madrid and another, where [the crucifix] can be seen clearly, in the Fernández Araoz Collection, also in Madrid)' are mentioned.Precisely this article is very useful in order to contrast similarities between this sculpture and the one mentioned by Michelangelo cast by Franconio. Among other things, it states: "The news from Pacheco was collected by Manuel Gómez-Moreno who, intrigued for a long time by a series of metal images obtained by casting, attributes them, with many doubts, to the Granada sculptor Alonso Cano, but later identifies them as those obtained from the Crucifix by Michelangelo mentioned in the 'Art of Painting'."López Morais continues quoting Gómez-Moreno to define the detailed characteristics of the 22 cm Crucifix: "it imposes by its very sobriety of resources, an imposing start that enlarges such a small work, [and] the body hangs limp, with absolute mass symmetry, as in real life; the head, which is small, falls on the chest and leans slightly to the right; the hands contract, clenched; the left leg crosses over the right, as revealed by Saint Brigid, flattening the calf upon contact, and the foot is deformed by the pressure of the nail; the almost embryonic nature of his virile organs matches a narrowness of hips that gives predominance to the chest over the other members; the belly sinks, and the complexion, emaciated, accentuates bony reliefs rather than muscles, except in the arms where tension makes even the arteries visible, but it is all modelled with unsurpassed delicacy and art."In Spain, there are several known silver or bronze specimens considered to be original castings from Franconio. Originals are found in the Museum of Caminos in Astorga, Palacio de Oriente in Madrid, the Gómez-Moreno Museum in Granada, the Caja de Ahorros de Segovia, the Cathedral of Seville, and the Ducal Palace of Gandía, among others. Some others are unsure whether they were cast from the original or even at that time.The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York has a Christ and the two thieves in its collection with the registration number 37.28a–d, and currently attributes authorship for this figure of Christ as based on a model by Michelangelo Buonarroti. The question arises as to whether it was a casting made in Rome, a hypothesis supported by the context of the set, or whether, like ours, it is one of the examples made from Franconio, which is based, according to the MET, on "the quality of modeling and casting, both crisp and fluid, [which] brings it closer to numerous surviving silver copies in Spain".

Carter (Angela) Archive of Correspondence and related material, addressed to her close friend Corrina Sargood, lifelong friend and occasional artistic collaborator, including 11 postcards and 6 autograph letters, all signed by Carter, v.s., dated by month only, some marginal tears and folds, light toning, [c.1980s-early 1990s]. *** "Wise Children wasn't short-listed for the Booker, after all that, so fuck 'em". An intimate series of correspondence from Angela Carter to her close friend Corrina Sargood during her last few years. Sargood and Carter met during their early years in Bristol and remained close friends throughout their lives, speaking most days on the telephone and keeping up regular written correspondence when away. The letters are dated by month but mentions of the author's last novel Wise Children and her cancer treatment place the archive around 1992 or earlier. The collection reveals a much more human side to the author known for her dark and grotesque fairy tales: "I am beginning to understand why people like Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Florence Nightingale took to their beds. No housework." Though discussion of daily life in the hospital is still doused in her archetypal wit: "I have a nurse called Ophelia. She is crazy for bowel movement". Quotidian discussions of children, travelling plans, and hospital life are amongst business consultations about collaborative work, the Booker prize, conversations about stories, and of course, numerous mentions of the ever present bête noire of the working author: tax returns. All together an intimate glimpse into Carter's working and personal life.

Originally the brainchild of Graves’s father-in-law, William Nicholson, it was agreed that Graves would take on the role of literary editor, while Nicholson would select the illustrators and, more importantly, fund the publication. At this early stage of his career, Graves’s literary preferences were strongly influenced by his connection to the Georgian poetic movement, which shaped his selection of contributors. He chose to exclude the more radical literary voices of the time (Eliot and Pound - avid critics of the Georgian conservative ventures), and instead favoured the well-established writers such as Thomas Hardy, J. C. Squire, John Galsworthy, and Walter De la Mare - though to the magazine's peril. The first issue was released in May 1919, and it continued only for one more number. It was briefly revived as The Winter Owl for a single edition in November 1923.

Carter (Angela) Heroes & Villains, first edition, signed presentation inscription from the author "from Angela for Edward" on title, with seemingly unpublished poem in authors hand on front free endpaper, light strip of browning on endpaper, original boards, dust-jacket, extremities chipped and slightly rubbed, spine toned, one or two marks to panels, 8vo, 1969. *** Association copy, inscribed to her friend Edward Horesh. With a seemingly unpublished and undated poem by the author titled 'The Hero's Portrait'."Riding a black horse, death / his fellow-traveller behind the saddle"... so begins the ostensibly unpublished poem by Carter. She turned her hand to poetry only briefly, mainly in the earlier years of 1963-66. Unicorn was her only published collection, after which she returned to another novel in 1967, The Magic Toyshop. Her poetry generally is not as lionized as her novels, though similar use of myth and fairytale, cut with violence and the banality of human behaviour are present in embryonic form. This poem is no different - mythical in narrative and dark in atmosphere it foreshadows her proceeding work in years to come, especially apparent in arguably her most celebrated work, The Bloody Chamber (1979).

Wodehouse (P.G.) St Austin's, first edition, first issue without closing quotation marks on title, 2pp. advertisements, ownership stamp of J.J. Looijestijn on front free endpaper, light fore-edge spotting but internally fine, original pictorial cloth light surface marks to lower cover, spine a little sunned and ends lightly frayed but overall a very bright and excellent copy, custom-made slip-case, [McIlvaine A3a], 8vo, 1903. *** An inserted note purports: "The collation details of the preliminary pp. of the first edition [of this work] are incomplete, as the numbering given runs from i to iv, and then from viii to xii. Of the omitted pages (5, 6, 7), v contained the dedication (ad matrem), vi was blank and vii contained the preface. Page iv, which McIlvaine states was the Preface, was in fact blank". On comparing other copies seen, we see that this stands as correct.
