An extremely rare illustrated A.L.S., Your Amy xxxxxx, eight adjoining pages removed from a notebook, 12mo, n.p., 25th February 2010, to Blake [Fielder-Civil]. Winehouse's letter initially takes the form of an illustrated storybook, bearing a 'title' page, in full, 'A book for Blake. A short (storyboard of a) story. You know it well. by Amy Jade Civil', and bearing the date in her hand. Written and drawn entirely in bold red ink, the first two pages feature a number of small illustrations by Winehouse, initially depicting her alongside a pool table in a pub, with the commentary, 'Mixer 31.01.05 A STORY; OURS. IT BELONGS TO US. When's a door not a door? When it's ajar wiv my future amore! You: excuse me. Me: alright? You: which coin's yours? - the 20p. You took the lead….you played the game of ya LIFE. You put 2 + 2 together (your nugget in front) & somehow got £1.20' Winehouse continues her story with the events of the next day, beginning with an illustration of herself and Fielder-Civil asleep together in bed and another illustration of a Ladbrokes betting shop, accompanied by the text 'We woke slow. We had our first date. You: You're lucky. Me: I've never been in here! 3 Races later. You: Yeah, you ain't that lucky. Me: don't put yourself down like that! I'm lucky, trust me. You're fit.' She continues solely with text, '3 weeks later you was at work. I was blissfully lying on my back getting your name etched over my heart forevs. Came to see ya. Thought you was literally gonna choke on ya lunch. Blakey, there's so SO much that's happened in the time we've known each other, bad, good, but it's good now. 5 years on…..Blake I knew I'd LOVE you forevs back then and even when you filed the d-word I knew we'd still talk + get on like twinnies separated at birth. I want to be your Baby mummy; wife, everything. But more than that (or first) I'm desperate for you to succeed the potential I've always, ALWAYS seen in ya. ALWAYS. You make me happier, you've made me happier than I ever thought was possible. I'm proud to know you best and I'm proud you know me best out of people (family included)….love you. Your wifels, on paper or not. Your faithful waitress Gemma, Your Amy xxxxxx'. An exceptional letter. Two very small, slight stains to the first page, not affecting the text or signature, otherwise VG

DU MAURIER DAPHNE: (1907-1989) British Author. T.L.S., Daphne, four pages, 8vo, Menabilly, Par, Cornwall, 6th February 1961, to 'My dear' (Foy Quiller-Couch). Du Maurier announces 'Honestly…Who but you and Oenone would sally forth today at the Porthcurno Theatre. There has just been a gale warning, force 9, for Cornwall. I had no idea the Minack players performed except at mid-summer, but I must confess myself enraptured at the thought of you and the Greek producer of plays sitting wrapped in rugs while the full force of the sou'westerly, or whatever force 9 brings, howls about your ears. I hope you take the warming Beaujolais and will not have packed the Chablis in error, but I don't recollect now what was in to be the wine box. Or possibly the expedition may turn out like the R.M. picnic, when, drenched by an accidental soaking, the shivering picnic party opened what they thought was the large lunch basket hamper, and found it full of the preceeding (sic) week's dirty laundry' and continues to recommend a new book by Owen Chadwick entitled Victorian Miniature, commenting 'It is a delightful true account (done from old diaries, etc) of the life of a squire and his parson and their little fallings out, etc, in the parish of Ketteringham in Norfolk in the mid nineteenth century. I am quite sure you would enjoy it. Very pleasant bed-time reading, and gives such a good picture of the life of the times.' Du Maurier further writes 'Re “Perette”, I've suddenly had a sobering thought. When, and if, it gets published, you don't think the Treasury people could suddenly say you should have declared the m.s. as part of your father's property when he died, and that your proceeds from it should now go to death duties? What an end to all the oil stoves! I can't believe it could be, but really financial wizardry is so tricky these days I am always prepared for anything….At any rate, I am sure Curtis Brown will find out for you, when the time comes.' VG Foy Quiller-Couch - daughter of British writer Arthur Quiller-Couch (1863-1944), and a life-long friend of Du Maurier. Indeed, Du Maurier was accompanied by Foy Quiller-Couch when she became inspired with the storyline for her novel Jamaica Inn. Some years previously the two ladies were staying at Jamaica Inn and went riding on Bodmin Moor. They became lost in bad weather conditions and apparently sheltered for some time in a derelict cottage on the moor but were eventually led back to Jamaica Inn by their horses.

ZEDDELER JULIA: (1866-1969) Russian Ballerina, sister of Mathilde Kschessinska. A.L.S., Aunt Julia, four pages, 8vo, n.p., 10th/23rd December 1914, to her nephew Slava Astafiev, in Russian. Zeddeler thanks her nephew for his letter and sympathises with him for being alone in a foreign country, continuing 'What a ghastly war, but God is with us and is granting us to bring it to an end, he is punishing our enemy, who has caused so much grief, tears and disaster! We are all occupied and concerned about the war, about our glorious heroes and with the thought and desire of bringing them help' She continues to send news of the family, including her sister Mathilde, 'Aunt Mala has opened her own field-hospital with 20 beds, exclusively for seriously wounded soldiers. It has an operating theatre and dressing room, two permanent doctors and a surgeon, and four nursing sisters, four medical orderlies and two nurses, in sum the hospital is very good. She has received the thanks of the Empress' and also refers to some money sent to Astafiev by his Godfather and Sergei Mikhailovich (Tsar Nicholas II's cousin), 'the money was sent you by your Godfather. But now the second amount that has arrived, this is from Ser[gei] Mikh[ailovich] and in the total is 100 francs from me for you for Christmas to use as you like. Godfather sends you just a few things, as he is afraid they might get stolen.' Zeddeler further writes of the Tsar's cousin, 'Ser Mikh was very, very seriously ill, he is still very weak, he spent five months in bed, he suffered from rheumatic fever, it is terribly painful, there was not a single place in his body where he did not feel pain.' Some extremely minor, light age wear and two circular purple date stamps to the first page, only very slightly affecting the text, which remains perfectly legible. VG

The proximity to France of the territories of Charles-Frederick, Margrave of Baden (1756-1811), together with his initial opposition to the French revolution and its effects, resulted in the devastation of Baden by French armies in the mid-1790s. Thereafter, having indemnified France and ceded some territory to that republic, Baden remained under the sway of its powerful neighbour until 1813. In November 1802, the margrave - having lost his eldest son in the previous year and clearly prescient regarding the ambitions of Napoleon - wrote France`s First Consul a fulsome letter in which he thanked Napoleon for his continuing protection and assured him of his admiration and loyalty: significantly, he chose to send his third - and favourite - son, Prince Louis, to France with the letter. In April 1806, by which time the margrave had become an electoral prince, ties between Baden and France were strengthened by the arranged marriage of the elector`s grandson and heir, Prince Charles, to the Emperor Napoleon`s adopted niece and newly created imperial princess, Stéphanie de Beauharnais. The elevation of the elector to the rank of grand-duke - an elevation approved and arranged by Napoleon - followed in July 1806 and further bound Baden to the fortunes of Napoleonic France. Elements of Baden`s small army served alongside that of France in several campaigns between 1805 and 1812: against Austria in 1805, Prussia in 1806, Britain (in Spain) in 1809 and Russia in 1812. Prince Charles, heir to his grandfather after 1801 and husband of Napoleon`s adopted niece from April 1806, was welcomed by personal letter into Napoleon`s military entourage in September 1806 - `J`approve le désir que vous avez de faire la guerre`. The prince was summoned to meet Napoleon at Bamberg early the following month and was with the French army at its decisive victory over that of Prussia at Jena on 14th October 1806, after which Napoleon wrote to Prince Charles`s widowed mother to reassure her that her son had done well at his first battle - `...il s`est bien comporté à la bataille et supporte bien la fatigue`. In 1807, Prince Charles commanded the Baden contingent at the siege of Danzig and continued on active service until 1808. Succeeding his grandfather in 1811, Charles maintained Baden`s support for France until the battle of Leipzig in 1813 demonstrated that the tide of war was no longer flowing in France`s favour. The political, military and personal ties that bound Baden to France from the late 1790s until 1813 must account for the existence of this carbine in the descendant family of the Grand Duke of Baden. It is possible that it originally belonged either to Prince Louis, who visited Napoleon at his father`s behest in 1802 and remained in Paris for some years, or to his nephew, Prince Charles, who served alongside Napoleon in his campaigns between 1806 and 1808: given the martial qualities of the weapon, the latter seems the most likely of the two princes to have been its original owner. Nicolas-Noël Boutet (1761-1833) the distinguished maker of armes de luxe inherited the position of gunmaker to Louis XIV from his father-in-law, Pierre de Sainte (active 1747-88). In 1792 he became technical Director at the new Versailles Manufactory and in 1800 rose to Directeur Artiste with overall control. He held this position until the closure of the manufactory in 1818. Boutet died fifteen years later in poverty, his career having survived six French Political regimes. Daniel Bouyssay was controller at the Versailles Manufactory from Year II (1793-4) until Year XIV (1805).
