Lot 1300
Mrs Mary Todd Lincoln’s opera glasses, dropped in her theatre box on April 14th, 1865, the fateful night that her husband the President was shot. In lacquered brass adjusting on a thread, with ivory mounts, engraved in a cursive script: ‘Mrs Mary Lincoln left these glasses in the box at Ford’s Theatre, Good Friday, April 14th, 1865, when our beloved President and Leader was cruelly assassinated, found by William Kent Esq.’, 10.5cm wide x 4cm deep x 6.2cm high NB: Whilst the lineage of these glasses cannot be traced the supporting evidence is compelling. William Kent is a well known figure in the proceedings of the assassination. He was near the Theatre by chance on the night and assisted others caring for the wounded President. On later discovering that he had mislaid a key in the mayhem, he returned to the Theatre where he famously discovered the Derringer pistol which fired the fatal shot. His testimony was delivered on May 16th 1865 and published in the New York Times: Judge Holt - ‘State whether or not the pistol you have before you was picked up by you in the box of the President on the night of the assassination? William Kent ‘- Yes, Sir; this is the pistol’ Judge Holt - ‘What is it called?’ Willia Kent ‘A Derringer, I believe, and I see that name marked on it.’ Judge Holt - ‘How long after the President was shot did you pick it up? William Kent ‘I do not know exactly how long. I suppose about three minutes after the President was shot I went into the box. There were two persons in there then. The Surgeon asked me for a knife to cut opon the President's clothes. I handed him mine, and with it he cut the President's clothes open. I left the theatre afterward. I missed my night-key and thought I had dropped it there. I hurried back to the theatre, and when I went into the box my foot knocked against a pistol lying on the floor. I picked it up and cried out "I have found the pistol." Some person then told me to give it to the police, but there was a gentleman who said he represented the Associated Press, and I handed it to him. The next morning I went round to the police station, and recognized it as the pistol I had picked up.’ William Kent was in the President’s box when he lent a knife which the physician Dr. Charles Leale used to loosen the President’s collar, the same blood-stained collar was later taken by William Kent’s friend Newton Feree when both men returned to the theatre box, it seems plausible that whilst William Kent recognised the importance of handing in the found pistol, that he may also have taken the opera glasses at this time as his own keepsake of the occasion. The Ford’s Theatre Museum display an opera glasses case recovered from the theatre box and believed to be that of Mary Todd Lincoln. The case is property of the National Park Service and came into their possession directly from the National States Army where it had been kept as part of items used in evidence in the trial of the conspirators. The artefact is catalogued as follows: "Leather Case. Mrs. Lincoln's opera glass case - 3 3/4" x 4 3/4" across the top x 2 1/8" (at inax.) Black soft leather with gilt clasp. It was said to have been dropped by Mrs. Lincoln in the Presidential box at Ford's Theatre. Case lined, in coral satin.” The dimensions and style would appear to be a fit for the current lot. Correspondence in the National Park files cites historic reference to a pair of glasses in the possession of a Mrs Heath which purported to be Mrs Lincoln’s glasses and which fitted the case although it’s stated in the records that ‘ Since this was a standard case and glasses, it is quite possible that other glasses will turn up to fit the case as well.’ The same records also show that at least three donors approached the National Park Service in the 1960s purporting to have Abraham Lincoln's glasses that were picked up by their ancestors on the night of the assassination. Other academics reference at least three pairs which purport to be Mary Lincoln’s opera glasses. Various academics and Lincoln scholars have been consulted with reference to the current lot. There is a consistent harmony in the opinion that the glasses are of the correct period and style, the engraving is convincing, the script similar to dated scrimshaw work of the period. Lincoln scholar and author Ed Steers said of these opera glasses ‘There is no doubt in my mind that the inscription is authentic and of the period leading me to conclude that if the piece is a fabrication it was done a century ago quite cleverly. Having seen or handled dozens of alleged artifacts associated with Lincoln and his assassination, all bogus, I have a different feeling about your item.’

Edward the Black Prince (1362-72), gold Noble Guyennois à l’E or Pavillon d'Or, second issue (c.1363-4), Bordeaux Mint, robed Prince standing over two opposing lions, flowers in hair, pointing finger and holding upright sword, four feathers surrounding bending right, all within Gothic portico and tressure of arcs, Latin legend and beaded borders surrounding, double voided quatrefoil stops, additional voided quatrefoil at start of legend, *ED'** PO** Gn'S** REG' AnGL’** PnCS** A*, rev. Gothic E at centre of cross quernée, lis and lion in angles, large trefoils in spandrels, Latin legend and beaded borders surrounding, +Dn’S** AIVTO** Z** PTECIO** Me** Z** IIPO** SP.AVIT** COR** mEVm** B, weight 4.50g (Elias 154b; cf.Schneider 53; AGC 161A 1/c; S.8126). Rim a little uneven, toned, almost extremely fine and very rare variety with the stop after P in SPAVIT. The gold Noble Guyennois à l’E was the most prolific of the Edward the Black Prince gold coins and perhaps one of the most Gothic and beautiful in its design with the pavillon around the King on the reverse such coins were formerly known as Pavillons d’Or. Four ostrich feathers surround the Prince which is symbolic to the Black Prince’s adoption of the ostrich feather as his crest, as he was also Prince of Wales. The story of how the ostrich feather was adopted harks back to the Battle of Crecy in 1346 when the 16 year old Prince commanding the English forces met the French Army under John “The Blind” (1310-46) with 500 of his best knights from Bohemia and Luxembourg. The French suffered very heavy losses and upon hearing of this rather than retreat, John commanded his knights to link their horses together with his in one last ditch charge at the English. The whole troop bar two survivors were slaughtered and legend relates the following day the surviving rider-less horses were found still tied together. Edward was so impressed as a 16 year old commander by this heroic chivalric action, that he adopted John The Blind’s ostrich feather crest as his own. This is thought to have inspired the origin of the crest of the Prince of Wales today, which has three ostrich feathers with the German motto “ich dien” meaning I serve. Provenance: Ex A. H. Baldwin, Fixed Price List, Summer 2014, item GAL001.

Full title: A Chinese famille verte 'Hong Men Yan' vase, Kangxi------- Description: H.: 46 cmÊ The narrative scene on the present lot is likely 'The Feast At Swan Goose Gate', a famous episode of the interregnum following the Qin Dynasty where Xiang Yu (232-202BC), a duke of the insurgent Chu forces attempts to assassinate Liu Bang (256-195BC), a rival rebel general.Ê After defeating the last of the Qin forces in 207BC, the two generals agree to meet at a banquet to discuss future military plans. Fan Zeng, Xiang Yu's advisor and pictured at the top table in a red robe, sees Liu Bang as a future threat and recommends assassinating him at the feast. Throughout the banquet Fan Zeng makes signals to Xiang Yu to kill Liu Bang but Xiang ignores him and enjoys the company of the gathered guests instead. Reputedly over eight chi tall, Xiang Yu was famous for his incredible strength - he is pictured at the front of the scene lifting an ancient bronze vessel with one arm. Undeterred, Fan Zeng summons Xiang Yu's cousin Xiang Zhuang instructing him to pretend to perform a sword dance to entertain the guests but kill Liu Bang. Xiang Zhuang, pictured with his sword sheathed at the top of the scene, starts dancing but Xiang Bo, a Chu general secretly under the influence of the rival rebel army, offers to join the performance and thwarts the plan.Ê Whilst this is happening Zhang Liang, Liu Bang's chief strategist, organises another general, Fan Kuai, to burst into the party, ingratiate himself and make a speech that implies Liu Bang will not challenge Xiang Yu's forces. Excusing themselves to the lavatory he then guides Liu Bang out of the perilous situation and away on a horse. Later, Zhang Liang presents Xiang Yu with some jade cups, apologizing on behalf of Liu Bang for his early departure. Enraged that the plan has failed Fan Zeng smashes them on the floor and warns the gathered company that Liu Bang will one day defeat Xiang Yu. True to the prediction Liu Bang crushes Xiang Yu's forces in 202BC at the Battle of Gaxia and becomes the first emperor of the Han Dynasty.Ê In Chinese culture, the term 'Feast at Swan Goose Gate' (___) hong men yan is used figuratively to refer to a trap or a situation ostensibly joyous but in fact treacherous.
