GALLE EMILE: (1846-1904) French artist and designer who worked in glass, considered one of the major innovators in the French Art Nouveau movement. An excellent Autograph Manuscript Signed, Emile Galle (in the third person to the title page and also within the text), twenty pages (including the title page), 4to (and a few smaller), n.p. (Nancy), n.d. (1884), in French. The manuscript, largely penned to the versos of Galle's personal printed stationery, is the artist's working draft (containing numerous corrections) of his report to the jury of the Central Union of the Decorative Arts VIII Exposition on the production and manufacture of his glass, including various specimens, and featuring details of the technical procedures of decoration and the diverse new applications derived from it, in particular new glass colouration including double and triple marbled glass, precious stone imitations, the use of air bubbles, extension of the palette of opaque enamels on glass, the use of transparent and translucent enamels on glass (other than cobalt oxide enamel), rare and strange decorations and new engraving procedures etc., in part, 'The exhibitor presents this year some tones coloured from the block (chrome oxide, iron oxide and diverse combinations of iron oxide, cobalt, manganese); some free imitations of precious stones, transparent, translucent or marbled with opaque veins. These colourations are obtained by introduction of diverse oxides and metallic salts in the glass, of opal glasses, and glasses coloured with gold or copper oxide….He still presents glasses with the introduction of gold sheets, platinum, finally some doublets and triplets with marbled sheet. Some specimens offer absolutely new effects, unprecedented use of which, neither modern or antique, offer any example…..the exhibitor asks the jury to examine the following samples…..Octopus light cigar case….cylindrical pot and tray…..basin with glass stopper, sapphirine colour, or blue quartz colour (composition based on potash) with translucent enamels…..Emile Galle incidentally reminds that glass, coloured with a small quantity of cobalt oxide in a pretty sapphire tone, colour which was since vulgarised by some French and foreign glass manufacturers, was emitted by him in 1878…..(and)…..commercialised by him under the name Clair de Lune, it was produced successively in Germany under the name Mondschein and in England under that of Moonlight Glass. A sample of this shade can be seen in the Decorative Arts museum……Marbled glasses with purple and bluish colours disclose the presence of gold. These marbling are yellowish when seen by reflection and red or pink by refraction…..These colours, interesting from the point of view of techniques, are not less interesting as regards decoration for the resources they offer the artist. Unfortunately, in considering the industrial use only, this procedure does not seem very practical, its effect being too variable…..it still requires some spendings of imagination to create interesting subjects out of their strange shapes…..The exhibitor also presents some tinted glasses containing gold and platinum sheets introduced in the glass in order to serve as foreground to enamels…..all the exhibitors decorations are handmade……The vivid desire to create….enamels on glass, a production with a really modern and French character, has led the exhibitor to research the colours that neither the Damas or Venise enamellers, nor the German painters have used in their productions, some reds and blues for example, some blacks, yellows and greens, some purples, pinks and violets, and most of all half tones, fine and broken shades, greys, flesh and ivory tones. Their judicious use, without dashing the decoration of the glass, can add to it a certain piquant…..diverse appropriateness between the decoration and the objects' destination had led Galle to research other translucent enamels than the old and magnificent blue derived from cobalt. Some objects having to represent the decorations by refraction as well as by reflection, it became necessary to enlarge the enamel palette in a sense contrary to opacity…..Emile Galle pays the greatest attention to the composition of the drawings intended to be executed in touret engraving. He never uses the fluor hydric acid engraving. It can be no use to him in the artistic effects he is searching for…..' Within the draft Galle details over eighty glass objects that he is presenting at the exposition including vases, scent bottles, bowls, tankards, goblets, cornets, a clock (made for the Queen of Italy), jugs, wine glasses etc. A manuscript of fascinating content and accompanied by a vintage unsigned 5 x 8.5 cabinet photograph, the albumen print by Otto Wegener of Paris depicting Galle in a head and shoulders pose and with the photographer's imprint to the lower mount.

The ‘Dawn Patrol’ that occurred…..at Night! BISHOP W. A. BILLY: (1894-1956) Canadian Air Marshal, a flying ace of World War I credited with 72 victories and thus the top Canadian and British Empire ace of the war. Victoria Cross winner for his aerial actions during an attack on a German aerodrome on 2nd June 1917 during World War I. D.S., W. A. Bishop, as Commander of 85 Squadron, one page, 4to, n.p. (France), 16th June 1918. The partially printed document, completed in typescript, is a Combat Report (headed Combats in the Air) relating to two aerial victories achieved by Bishop in his SE5A (C1904) biplane fighter, the narrative stating, in full, 'At 8-20 p.m. 1,8000 feet 5 miles East of Armentieres. I chased a two-seater from our side of the lines climbing up to him finally getting to 100 yards range fired 20 rounds from each gun. E[nemy]. A[ircraft]. smoked then burst into flames and fell. At 8-28 p.m. 8,000 feet, over Armentieres. 4 Albatross scouts attacked me from the sun and head on continued their dive to 4,000 feet below me. I watched for a few minutes and dived onto rear one, opened fire at 75 yards from behind and in the sun. E.A. went down vertically and crashed on western edge of Armentieres. E.A. dived to below me I think owing to presence of one of our formations 3 or 4 thousand feet above.' Matted in black alongside a colour 6 x 4 postcard reproduction of Robert Taylor's painting (erroneously) entitled The Dawn Patrol with printed text relating to the artwork stating, in part, 'On 16th June 1918 Major W.

Climbing his flight of SE5A's to 8000 feet above Armentieres, Northern France, he located and destroyed one enemy aircraft and followed this some eight minutes later by destroying a second……Robert Taylor's new painting “The Dawn Patrol” portrays Billy Bishop and the pilots of 85 Squadron as they climb their SE5A fighters into the cool morning sunlight above the fields of Northern France'.

Rolled and with one minor surface crease. A remarkable pair of signed items. G to VG, 2Robert Taylor's excellent painting The Dawn Patrol would appear to have been meticulously researched; the artist and publishers taking note of the correct aircraft and serial number Bishop was flying, as well as the correct altitude, location and date of the ace's flight on 16th June 1918. However, Taylor, widely regarded as the world's premier painter of aviation subjects, made two mistakes in The Dawn Patrol, as clearly confirmed by Bishop's Combat Report - firstly, Bishop was flying alone and, most importantly, the combat occurred at night, at 8.20 pm and 8,28 pm, and not at dawn.

An excellent A.L.S., T E Shaw, one page, folio, Karachi, India, 5th January 1927, to an unidentified correspondent (although evidently a writer whom Lawrence held in some esteem). Lawrence announces, 'I have sworn a great oath never to use or countenance the use of the name “Lawrence”, as referring to me, again, in public or private', continuing 'So that would settle the question of my introducing your book, I'm afraid' and explaining 'Of course I write, or rather I try to write, occasionally: unsigned articles, or articles signed by virgin names. They are worth two guineas a thousand words, which I am told is a better rate than usual. They cost me more than that, in trouble, even at my R.A.F. rate of 3/6 a day! And no publisher would be moved to publish your work, because it had an unknown man's introduction before it.' Shaw, however, offers his advice and a further clarification of his decision to his correspondent, 'But why should you think an introduction necessary?......Probably the right man will take what you have written on its merits, and that should be much more gratifying than to be helped. I did twice, in the old days, help people by introducing their books: but one, Richard Garnett, was dead, and that pardoned the offence. The other, Doughty, was a special case: I had been trying to persuade all London to reprint him, and at last one beginning-publisher said “I will, if you'll preface it” :- and what could I do? Doughty was very nice about it: but it felt like scratching one's name on Westminster Abbey. Introductions to publishers I will (and do) willingly give. Several people with good stuff have been helped by me into print. It's a matter of knowing the proper tradesmen. Have you tried Cape? He is enterprising, and the best producer of commercial books in London (for format). If you will send me a sample of your stuff I'll see that it reaches his reader (Edward Garnett, a critic of genius) with my opinion. I have no doubt that it's the right stuff: and it should be exactly right for the particular public. If Cape says “NO”, I'd suggest Faber and Gwyer for second string: but Cape an easy first. Secker is too difficult: and the big men too staid'. A rare letter of fine content in which Lawrence affirms his desire for anonymity and proves himself to be a good guide in the intricacies behind the scenes of publishing.

However, less than a year later, his identity was exposed, and he was forced out of the RAF in February 1923. Changing his name once again, to T. E. Shaw, he repeatedly petitioned to re-join the RAF and was finally readmitted in August 1925. Lawrence's Seven Pillars of Wisdom was published in December 1926 and the renewed publicity it brought resulted in his assignment to bases as Karachi, from where the present letter was written, and Miramshah in British India, where he remained until the end of 1928.
