Alfred Auguste JANNIOT (Paris, 1889 - Neuilly-sur-Seine, 1969) Les Trois Grâces. Bronze patiné signé "A. JANNIOT" et "Alexis Rudier Fondeur Paris". Sur un SOCLE de pierre en haut-relief sculpté sur les quatre faces d`allégories de l`eau. Dimensions totales : Haut. 252, Larg. 144, Prof. 78 cm. Trois Grâces : Haut. 170, Larg. 123, Prof. 77 cm. Socle : Haut. 82, Larg. 144, Prof. 78 cm. Provenance : - Ancienne collection Ducos à la Thébaïde (Val-d`Oise), pièce maîtresse de l`ensemble créé par Janniot et posée devant la pièce d`eau. Bibliographie : - Michel Giraud (dir.), "Alfred Janniot", éd. Galerie Michel Giraud, Paris, 2006, ill. p. 114. Euphrosine, la sereine, Thalie, la florissante, et Aglaé, la brillante, sont les filles de Zeus, qui apportent la joie sur Terre, incarnant grâce et beauté. Leur iconographie, trois jeunes filles nues se tenant par les épaules, est fixée sous l`Antiquité. Chaque époque y voit une dimension du don ou de l`amour : Beauté, Désir et Accomplissement. Janniot s`intéresse à ce thème dès 1923, dans un bas-relief aujourd`hui disparu. Il le magnifie en 1937, plaçant Les Trois Grâces au sommet de "La Légende de la Mer" sur la façade du Palais de Tokyo. Dans ce groupe créé pour la Thébaïde, Janniot retient la leçon de Canova, en disposant un personnage de face et les autres de profil. Le sculpteur explore tous les charmes de l`anatomie féminine, entraînant ses Grâces dans une ronde légère et sereine. Ce grand groupe, unique, fondu dans le bronze par Alexis Rudier pour le jardin de la Thébaïde, est la pièce maîtresse de la villa des Ducos. Il repose sur un socle quadrangulaire de pierre, orné d`allégories maritimes en relief sur chacune de ses quatre faces. Disposés dans l`axe de la maison, au bout du bassin, le bronze et la pierre se reflètent avec le ciel dans l`eau. Au cours de son oeuvre, Janniot n`a sculpté que quatre groupes de jeunes femmes comparables à celui-ci. " L`Hommage à Jean Goujon ", en pierre, commandé par Ruhlmann pour le pavillon du collectionneur à l`exposition des Arts décoratifs, en 1925, a malheureusement disparu. Tout comme "La Nymphe de Fontainebleau", autre hommage de Janniot à la Renaissance, en pierre, en 1926, qui a coulé avec le paquebot "Île de France". "Les Quatre Saisons", en bronze, fondues pour l`École normale supérieure de Cachan en 1953 existent toujours, dans le domaine publique. Monumentales par leurs dimensions et par leur ambition, " les Trois Grâces " de la Thébaïde sont la plus importante oeuvre de Janniot en main privée, jamais offerte sur le marché.

Travel and exploration – Indian ocean interesting retained copy of a letter from a sea captain named Lamont dated 1857 who was sent to explore the Kooria Morca islands in the Indian ocean to see whether they could be a good source for guano and reporting that despite earlier reports that the island was full of it : ‘.I have been all round the island with a pick axe and shovel on my back and examined every crock and corner on the island and cannot find any caves except one and that contains about 1000 tons good guano and that the Gredenda of Liverpool is working out^ every one at his own pit. Other part of guano is about the flat ground and the sides of the mountains and the depth of the guano varies from 1 foot to 4 feet at the most and mixed with small and large stones. I do not think in my own mind that there is guano sufficient to loan one hundred 6 hundred ton ships at this island and that has to be got with a great deal of labour.’ Guano^ or bird droppings^ was a commodity highly sought after at this time for agricultural fertilizer and other uses in the industrial revolution. It is interesting that it was such a highly prized commodity that expeditions would be mounted as far afield as the Indian Ocean in order to obtain sufficient quantities of it.

* Irvine (Andrew Comyn, 1902-1924). The Original 1924 Mount Everest Expedition Agreement, signed and dated by Irvine, 19 November 1923, comprising one typed covering letter on Mount Everest Committee headed notepaper, dated 17 November 1923, signed by Sydney Spencer, Joint Secretary, and two typed pages explaining the details of the agreement, the second page signed in black ink by A. Comyn Irvine and dated 19 Nov. 23, lightly creased where previously folded, with original manilla envelope. Andrew ‘Sandy’ Comyn Irvine (6 April 1904-8 June 1924) was an English mountaineer who took part in the 1924 British Expedition (the third British expedition to the world’s highest 8,848m mountain). The expedition made two unsuccessful attempts on the summit in early June and there was time for one more before heavy snowfall would make climbing too dangerous. This last chance fell to the expedition’s most experienced climber, George Mallory and to the surprise of other expedition members, Mallory chose as his companion the young and inexperienced Irvine above the older, more seasoned climber, Noel Odell. Mallory and Irvine began their ascent on 6th June and by the end of the next day, the pair had established a final two-man camp at 8,168m (26,800 feet) from which to make their final push on the summit. Both Mallory and Irvine disappeared somewhere high on the mountain’s north east ridge and it has never been established whether or not they reached the summit. An ice axe, possibly belonging to Irvine was found in 1933 and in May 1999, a 1924 oxygen cylinder was found (but not recovered until May 1999), which almost certainly belonged to Mallory and Irvine. Mallory’s body was discovered in May 1999 but Irvine has never been found. It has been suggested that this historical and poignant document is in effect a signed death warrant. (4)
