`It is said that the Amazons used to burn their right breast… that it would prevent them from shooting with the bow´ ROUSSEAU JEAN-JACQUES: (1712-1778) French Writer and Philosopher. A very good and interesting content autograph manuscript, one page, 4to, n.p., n.d. [1745-46], in French. Rousseau writes a short text, being related to the history of women, stating in part `It is said that the Amazons used to burn their right breast since their very early youth, lest that it would prevent them from shooting with the bow. ´, further saying `However, this one seems to have both breasts, as well as all the others I have seen till now.´ This text was taken from Montfaucon´s work L´Antiquité Expliquée (1719-24). Page with watermark.Small overall minor age toning, with right and bottom edges irregularly trimmed. G The present text corresponds to Rousseau´s work about the history of women, written between 1745 and 1751 for his benefactress Mrs Louise Marie Madeleine Dupin, and which would never be published. Rousseau worked as secretary of Madame Dupin at that time. Bernard de Montfaucon (1655-1741) French Benedictine Monk. A scholar who founded the discipline of palaeography and who edited works of the Fathers of the Church. He is regarded as one of the founders of the modern discipline of Archaeology. Montfaucon wrote L´antiquité Expliquée 1719-24. This lengthy work, in French and Latin, includes 15 volumes. This edition obtained great success, and the 1800 copies printed were sold in less than two months, something never seen till then for such kind of erudition and research works.
[ZOLA EMILE]: (1840-1902) French novelist. A 4to printed broadside distributed by the organising committee of 'The Old Army', printed in French by Belleville of Paris, with the heading Protestation, the text stating 'The former undersigned Officers, meeting in Paris, on 30 May 1908, in the Organising Committee of the 'Old Army', consider it a duty of Patriotism and military Solidarity to publicly express their unworthy regrets in front of the spectacle of the participation of the Army in the glorification of ZOLA, INSULTER OF THE ARMY. A military order can oblige the swords and the flags to bow before the remains of the one who wrote “LA DEBACLE” and who had the sad courage to smear the defeated heroics of [18]70. Our conscience will not bow. And, convinces to be the interpreters of the immense majority of our Comrades, condemned to silence, we formulate in the face of the Country our Protest of Soldiers and French!' The lower half of the broadside features the names of the Organising Committee of 'The Old Army' and its members. Some small areas of paper loss to the right edge and with a few neat tears to some edges, FR On 29th September 1902 Zola died of carbon monoxide poisoning and following his funeral on 5th October he was initially buried in the Cimetiere de Montmartre in Paris, but on 4th June 1908 (around the time the present broadside was published), just five years and nine months after his death, his remains were relocated to the Pantheon, where he shares a crypt with Victor Hugo and Alexandre Dumas. The ceremony was disrupted by an assassination attempt by Louis-Anthelme Gregori, a disgruntled journalist, on Alfred Dreyfus, who was wounded in the arm by the gunshot. La Debacle was published in 1892 as the penultimate novel in Zola's Les Rougon-Macquart series. The story is set against the background of the political and military events that ended the reign of Napoleon III and the Second Empire in 1870.

An exceptionally rare Dutch engraved façon de Venise wine glass, circa 1660-70The round funnel bowl finely wheel-engraved with a continuous landscape scene, one side with a winged Cupid taming a bridled lion, holding a bow and arrow in one hand, the other with Cupid riding on the back of an eagle in flight, holding an open book in one hand and an olive branch in the other, three baying hounds beneath, two lovebirds in an olive tree to one side, a single bird perched in a tree to the other, the stem formed from a pair of tightly coiled ropes, both containing spiralling threads in opaque white and translucent turquoise, the upper terminals applied with opposing aquamarine raspberry prunts, the conical foot further engraved with three floral sprigs, 16.1cm highFootnotes:ProvenanceChristie's sale, 7 June 1988, lot 273Private British CollectionThe scenes on this glass are taken from the Ambacht van Cupido (The Trade of Cupid) in Nederduytsche Poemata by Daniël Heinsius, first published in 1616 and reprinted several times. Cupid flying on the back of an Eagle is after emblem 23, 'Amor eruditus' (Learned love). Cupid taming the Lion is after emblem 24, 'Omnia vincit Amor' (Love conquers all). Heinsius pioneered the use of the Dutch language for poetry. 'Omnia vincit Amor' was first published as emblem 1 in Heinsius' Quaeris quid sit amor? in circa 1601, which was the very first love emblem book ever written in Dutch.The glass itself belongs to a small group of engraved glasses which originated in the Southern Netherlands in the mid-17th century, influenced by Nuremburg decoration, see Pieter C Ritsema van Eck, 'Early Wheel Engraving in the Netherlands', Journal of Glass Studies, vol.26 (1984), pp.86-101 for a discussion. Several glasses engraved in similar style have related serpent stems terminating in two 'heads', which are characteristic of the Southern Netherlands, see pp.98-102, figs.35-7, 41 and 45. Unlike glasses decorated in the Northern Netherlands, these typically have wreaths engraved around the feet, of which floral sprigs on the foot of the present glass would appear to be a variant. A goblet and cover with related decoration, bearing a portrait of Charles II of Spain and two putti executed in very similar style, was sold by Bonhams on 20 November 2019, lot 7. Compare also to the goblet and cover from the Mühleib Collection sold by Bonhams on 2 May 2013, lot 52. A glass of very similar form excavated from Afferden, Limburg, in the Netherlands, but without engraved decoration is in Limburgs Museum (inv. no.L02776).For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

On the previous page Gabszewicz notes that 'the rendering of botanical specimens on Bow porcelain is well known for the use of broad artistic license'. The exotic fruit and cactus on the present lot is charmingly painted according to this tradition. Another octagonal plate painted with flowers and insects but not fruit from the M Dudley Westropp Collection was sold by Bonhams on 5 March 2003, lot 68.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
