The lion's head is probably Northmore, while the knot would seem to refer to the marriage. View on Christie's.com

FLEMING, Ian (1908-1964). Series of 8 autograph love letters and notes signed ('Ian') to an Austrian girlfriend, Edith Morpurgo, 11 Throgmorton Avenue, St James's Club and n.p., 2 April 1935 and n.d., in German, in pencil and pen, one partially typescript, approximately 20 pages, 8vo and 4to (one letter torn to shreds and reassembled with adhesive tape), envelope, with a telegram, 7 December 1934 ('Regret this evening impossible goodbye with all my love Ian') and a portrait photograph of Fleming seated on a rock in the Austrian Alps, 1934 (rather worn). Three letters and two brief notes are written in a flirtatious, even outrageous mood: one begins with two sketches, the first showing 'Wo ich Dich küssen will', the second depicting a hotel room with a 'Do not disturb' sign, protesting 'I only want you to be happy. But I also want to hurt you, because you have deserved it ... I want to sleep with you once and do nothing -- only put my arms around you and hold you tight and find you there when I wake up. But it has to be sunny! Where shall we find sunshine in this grey country? But it depends only on you and the sun, and that is only two things and it could easily be so many more' (translation), ending 'Ich küsse Dich wo Du nicht erlaubst'; a short undated letter begins 'Nein -- ich will Dich nur küssen und nichts sagen. Es hat keinen Sinn ... [No -- I only want to kiss you and say nothing. It makes no sense ... ]', while a brief pencil note arranges a meeting and another simply says 'Ich küsse Dich'. The partially typescript letter of 2 April 1935 describes the sad state of his flat since she left, and mockingly asks when she is coming back to do the cleaning, as he cannot use the flat 'weil sie noch immer von Dir stinkt'. The tone becomes darker in the three remaining letters: one protests he cannot understand Edith, but tries to persuade her to remain in London; another letter (torn to pieces for its pains) begins tactlessly 'ich habe deine Freunde nicht gern', going on 'I am sure you were quite right to go away as your life here has been very empty, and I am also not the way you wanted. But it is still sad, because we were good together ...' (translation). In what is evidently the last letter, Fleming reproaches Edith for bringing their relationship to 'ein recht hässliches Ende', protesting 'Ich wollte dich glucklich machen und Ruhe geben ... ich habe so viel Freude mit dir gehabt'.

DODGSON, Charles Lutwidge ('Lewis Carroll'). Alice's Adventures Under Ground. [Camden, New Jersey: printed for Eldridge R. Johnson by Max Jaffe, Vienna, 1936]. 8° (186 x 118 mm). 37 illustrations by the author, 14 of these full-page, photographic portrait of Alice mounted on final leaf; loosely inserted leaf providing alternative ending of the text. Original limp green morocco gilt, original green slipcase (foot of spine chipped, joints rubbed, slipcase lightly rubbed). A PERFECT PRINTED FACSIMILE OF CARROLL'S FAMOUS MANUSCRIPT. In 1936 the American collector Eldridge R. Johnson arranged for this collotype facsimile of the original manuscript (which he purchased at auction in 1928 through Rosenbach) to be printed privately in a very limited run for presentation to friends. 'It is not too extravagant to say that this production is as near perfection as is possible for a printed facsimile' (Selwyn Goodacre and Denis Crutch in Jabberwocky: The Journal of the Lewis Carroll Society, Autumn 1978). Following Johnson's death in 1944, the manuscript was offered again at auction and was again purchased by Rosenbach, who arranged for it to be presented to the British Nation through contributions from American subscribers.

Engraved portrait of Takadaya-Kahei, and 4 engraved folding plans after Rikord. (Damptain in the bottom margin of some leaves, light scattered spotting.) Contemporary Russian red half sheep, spine label (spine foot repaired, small repairs on the endpapers). Provenance: 20th-century Russian booksellers (stamps on the endpapers). FIRST EDITION OF RIKORD'S EXPEDITION TO RESCUE GOLOVNIN. It constitutes an important and early first-hand account of contact between Japan and Russia. Rikord sailed to Japan on the Russian sloop-of-war Diana, taking on board a number of Japanese seamen shipwrecked off the coast of Kamchatka, and capturing Takadaya-Kahei and several crew from a large junk. He landed at Kunashie where he negotiated the eventual release of Golovnin, averting war with Japan. Golovnin later wrote a popular account of the experiences; both accounts were translated for an English edition in 1818.
