Castilian school; first half of the XVI century."Santa Lucia".Carved and polychrome wood.Presents repainting and saints in the polychrome.Measurements: 74 x 54 x 31 cm.Due to the iconographic attribute of the eyes on the plate, this sculpture can be identified to Saint Lucia of Syracuse (283-304), who was the daughter of noble parents, who educated her in the Christian faith. She took a vow of chastity and consecrated her life to God, but her mother promised her in marriage to a young pagan. Finally, the engagement was broken, after her mother was cured of her illness by a divine miracle, but the suitor accused her before the proconsul Pascacio, denouncing her as a Christian. St. Lucy was then arrested and, refusing to offer sacrifices to the pagan gods, Pascatius ordered her to be taken to a brothel to be raped. However, the soldiers could not take her away, since the girl remained miraculously rigid as a stone. She was then condemned for witchcraft and taken to the stake, although the fire did not harm her. Her eyes were then gouged out, a symbol in the art of her martyrdom, but she retained her vision nonetheless. Finally, Pascacio ordered her beheading. Patron saint of the blind and protector of the poor and sick children, Saint Lucy is mainly venerated in Syracuse, Venice and Peter of the Mount, although important feasts are also dedicated to her in Scandinavia.Spain is, at the beginning of the 16th century, the European nation best prepared to receive the new humanist concepts of life and art because of its spiritual, political and economic conditions, although from the point of view of plastic forms, its adaptation of those introduced by Italy was slower because of the need to learn the new techniques and to change the taste of the clientele. Sculpture reflects perhaps better than other artistic fields this eagerness to return to the classical Greco-Roman world that exalts in its nudes the individuality of man, creating a new style whose vitality surpasses the mere copy. Soon the anatomy, the movement of the figures, the compositions with a sense of perspective and balance, the naturalistic play of the folds, the classical attitudes of the figures began to be valued; but the strong Gothic tradition maintains the expressiveness as a vehicle of the deep spiritualistic sense that informs our best Renaissance sculptures. This strong and healthy tradition favors the continuity of religious sculpture in polychrome wood that accepts the formal beauty offered by Italian Renaissance art with a sense of balance that avoids its predominance over the immaterial content that animates the forms. In the first years of the century, Italian works arrived in our lands and some of our sculptors went to Italy, where they learned first hand the new norms in the most progressive centers of Italian art, whether in Florence or Rome, and even in Naples. Upon their return, the best of them, such as Berruguete, Diego de Siloe and Ordóñez, revolutionized Spanish sculpture through Castilian sculpture, even advancing the new mannerist, intellectualized and abstract derivation of the Italian Cinquecento, almost at the same time as it was produced in Italy.

Dickens (Charles). A Christmas Carol, in Prose, Being a Ghost Story of Christmas, 1st edition, 1st issue, Chapman & Hall, 1843, half-title printed in blue, title-page printed in red and blue, verso printed in blue, 2-page publisher's advertisement at end, hand-coloured etched frontispiece and 3 plates by John Leech (all but frontispiece offset to text), 4 wood-engravings in the text by W.J.

First edition, first issue with 'Stave I' as the first chapter heading and no text changes. The binding conforms to William B. Todd's first impression, first issue with the closest interval between blind-stamping left margin and left extremity of wreath 14-15mm, and 'D' of 'Dickens' within wreath on front cover in perfect condition. (The Book Collector, Winter 1961, pp. 449-454.) A Christmas Carol was published on 19 December 1843, selling 6,000 copies in the few days before Christmas. Despite its enormous success it was a financial disaster for Dickens. It was a separate commission requested by him of his publishers Chapman and Hall, with Dickens insisting on a fine coloured binding and endpapers with gilt lettering. Although it went into seven editions by May 1844 almost all the profits were absorbed in the expenses of binding, special papers, coloured plates and advertising, and Dickens found himself overdrawn on his Coutts account, and had to ask his friend Mitton for another loan. Dickens had requested the title be printed in red and green with green endpapers to match, but he was disappointed with the appearance of the green printing. The title was subsequently printed in red and blue, the title-page date changed to 1843 (rather than the gift book convention of using the following year's date), and the green endpapers replaced with yellow. This first issue copy appropriately bears an ownership inscription dated 1843.

The Principles of Whist is one of only 250 copies printed of this famous treatise. Henry Jones, better known by his nom de plume 'Cavendish', was part of 'The Little Whist School' comprising a group of Cambridge students in the 1850s. When William Pole suggested that whist was worthy of the sort of scientific analysis given to chess, Henry Jones contacted him to let him know that he had built up a collection of data on actual whist games and analysed the principles of play. With Pole's encouragement, Jones published this seminal treaty on whist, which would run to over 20 editions in the space of 30 years. His fame and popularity as a writer on card games equalled that of Hoyle. Jones was interested not only in the methods of play, but also in the history of card games, and contributed introductions to many of Hoyle's books on individual games.
