Suffragettes - Emily Davison original contemporaneous memorial leaflet issued after the death of Emily Davison^ who was killed after throwing herself under the King`s horse at the Derby on June 4th 1913 - perhaps the most infamous event in the whole history of the fight for women`s suffrage. 8vo 4pp featuring a portrait of Emily to front. In near mint condition. Extremely rare. The leaflet carries a notice for the Memorial Service to be held on June 14th 1913 at St George`s Church^ Bloomsbury^ listing the clergy involved and the hymns to be sung. The two inside pages carries an essay entitled `Why did she stop the King`s Horse ?` and explaining unequivocally that she did indeed intend to kill herself by throwing herself under the horse: `...with her clear and unflinching vision she realised that now^ as in days of old^ to awake the conscience of the people^ a human life would be needed as sacrifice...` Today there is debate that Emily`s death was more an accident - that she didn`t intend to throw herself under the horse^ but her real intention was merely to disrupt the race.

Document slightly dusty and lacking seal but an attractive document from the reign of William III.

A medallion with a portrait of Law appears at top, surrounded by spider webs, snakes, thorns, and fishing rods. Sixteen additional vignettes show scenes from John Law`s career.John Law, a Scottish financier, established the Banque Generale (central bank) in France. He was then granted control of Louisiana and founded the Compagnie de la Louisiane d`Occident, in 1717. Law developed an elaborate plan to exploit the fabulous resources of the region, which quickly gained popularity and people rushed to invest, not just in France, but throughout Europe. This resulted in the development of several other overseas companies, such as the English South Sea Company and a number of smaller companies in the Dutch Republic. The share prices rose dramatically in a frenzy of speculation. In 1720 the bubble burst; speculators cashed in, caused a run on the shares, and the company went bankrupt. As a consequence of the failure, confidence in other similar companies failed, and thousands of individual investors across Europe were ruined.See also lot 7 for a portrait of John Law.
