Artist: Giorgio De Chirico (1888 - 1978) Artwork Title: La mia mano destra Size: 15 x 12 cmMedia: Pencil on paper Date: 1939 Artist Info: Giorgio De Chirico was born in Volos, Greece, to a Genovese mother and a Sicilian father.

There he read the writings of the philosophers Nietzsche, Arthur Schopenhauer and Otto Weiningerand and also studied the works of Arnold Böcklin and Max Klinger. In the years prior to World War I, De Chirico founded the art movement called "Scuola Metafisica" which profoundly influenced the surrealists. Moving to Florence in 1910, De Chirico painted the first of his 'Metaphysical Town Square' series, 'The Enigma of an Autumn Afternoon'. The following year he moved to Paris and met Pierre Laprade, a member of the jury at the Salon d'Automne, where he exhibited three of his works and subsequently at the Salon des Indépendants and Salon d’Automne. Here, De Chirico won praise for his work almost immediately from the writer Guillaume Apollinaire, who helped to introduce his work to the later Surrealists. De Chirico strongly influenced the Surrealist movement: Yves Tanguy. Other Surrealists who acknowledged De Chirico's influence include Max Ernst, Salvador Dalí and René Magritte. Other artists as diverse as Giorgio Morandi, Carlo Carrà, Paul Delvaux, Carel Willink, Harue Koga, Philip Guston and Sylvia Plath were also influenced deeply by De Chirico.

Artist: Gino Severini (1883-1966) Artwork Title: Untitled Size: 23.5 x 35.5 cm Media: Ink on paper Artist Info: Gino Severini was a painter, designer and writer. He was one of the most important italian artists of the last century. In 1910, he became one of the leading members of the Futurist movement and signed their Technical Manifesto. Subsequently, closely linked to Synthetic Cubism, he regularly met fellow cubists such as Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso and other artists of the French avant-Garde including Modigliani, Juan Gris and Guillaume Apollinaire. In 1921, Severini published his book 'Du Cubisme au Classicisme' in which he explained his theories about the rules of composition and proportion. He was an artistic genius who contributed to the development and the evolution of geometric painting.

Artist: Jeanne Modigliani (1918 - 1984) Artwork Title: Portrait Size: 63 x 48 cm Media: Pastel on paper Artist Info: Jeanne Modigliani was born in Nice on the 29th November 1918. She was soon after adopted and brought up by her aunt Margherita Modigliani, in Livorno, her father Amedeo Modigliani's home town. Her childhood was never discussed until she reached adulthood so she was unaware of the lives and tragic deaths of her parents, who both died when she was only 14 months old. However, life was not to be easy for the child of Modigliani either, and as Fascism deepened its hold on Italy poor young Jeanne was identified and persecuted as a Jew – so she left Italy and, like her father before her, took refuge in Paris where she later joined the French Resistance and she was imprisoned for political reasons. As daughter of painter Jeanne Hebutern and the great master Amedeo Modigliani, Jeanne inherited artistic genes and her works are of a stunning, elegant, refined and sensual quality, albeit painting was only one of her many artistic outlooks in life. Jeanne Modigliani died in 1984 in Paris, at the age of 66. Notes: Probably her most lasting heritage is the faithful and true biography of her father written in 1958 and the product of very intensive, scrupulous and passionate research when she finally discovered who her real father was! "Modigliani, man and myth", was later translated into English from the Italian by Esther Rowland Clifford. Artworks by Jeanne Modigliani have had some low auctions records but have attracted a lot of interest in recent years. Artworks by Jeanne Modigliani have now become rare collectors items.

Noel and his siblings so enjoyed this and subsequent letters that Beatrix thought about having the story published. In 1900 she sent the story to at least six different publishers, all of whom rejected it, including Frederick Warne, who later decided to take the book on. Undeterred, Beatrix decided to have her little book privately printed, and in 1901 250 copies were published priced at 1/6 each, of which this is one.

A superb and highly unusual Victorian London made Khanjar hunting or expedition knife by Savigny & Co as featured in The London Knife Book and from the Ron Flook Collection, 23cm recurved blade stamped SAVIGNY & CO. 67 ST. JAMES'S STREET LONDON, the wooden hilt carved in the Scottish manner with entwined Celtic strapwork, the pommel carved in the form of a Camel's head, contained in its white metal mounted brown leather sheath. See Plate 143 on Page 144 of The London Knife Book by Ron Flook. Discussions have suggested that the camels head is representative of a family crest. There are two crests featuring a camels head listed in Fairbairn's Crests and taking the carving of the grip as being representative of a Scottish family the principal crest could be that of Fullarton or Fullerton, possibly linking it to Lt-Col James Alexander Fullerton who served in the Himalayas in 1845-47. However, a further crest featuring a crowned camels head emerging from a coronet points to the family of Pattison and Second Lieutenant John Robert Graham Pattison who served with the Ceylon Rifles circa 1840. Given that there are no engraved crests or initials this is all supposition.
