SARAH BIFFIN (BIFFEN) (1784-1850); watercolour, study of Celine Celeste with landscape beyond, unsigned, 37.5 x 26.5cm, framed and glazed. N.B Beneath the mount there is a typed label, numbered 27 and detailing an inscription on label which is no longer present.Provenance: Private collection, Worcestershire.Footnote: Sarah Biffin was an early 19th century watercolourist, born with no arms and only vestigial legs. Despite her disability, she learned to paint using her mouth and received lessons from the Royal Academy of Arts painter William Craig. When her sponsor, the Earl of Morton died in 1827, Biffin was left without a sponsor and ran into financial trouble. Queen Victoria awarded her a Civil List pension and she retired to private life in Liverpool. She tried to revive her career using the name Mrs E.M. Wright, however this was unsuccessful. Madame Marie Taglioni Comptesse de Voisins (1804-1884) was a noted Swedish born ballet dancer who was a central figure of the history of European dance. She spent most of her life in the Austrian Empire and France and was one of the most celebrated ballerinas of the romantic ballet which was cultivated primarily at Her Majesty’s Theatre in London and at the Paris Opera Ballet. She is credited with (though not confirmed as) being the first ballerina to truly dance ‘en pointe’. Condition Report: A few slight foxing spots, perhaps some minor toning to the paper therwise ok. Paper cut and sits within the mount. Frame with general wear.

CELINE LOUIS FERDINAND: (1894-1961) French Novelist. Known as Celine, his real name being Destouches, a controversial writer because of his anti-Semitism. A very good and lengthy A.L.S., with his initials `L.F.D´, four pages, folio, n.p, the 27th, n.d., to his brother Marcel, in French. Celine states in part `Oui sans doute Joulon is an admirable poet, mais lui globe-trotter acharné, s'il était venu nous voir depuis 5 ans, je l'aurais affranchi de bien des salades qui m'ont fait un tort énorme. Les malentendus, bevues, ignorances, naïvetés, mirages, miraculages, blablas, soigneusement entretenus, tu le sais, c'est pire que tout. Ça bat la campagne. A la fin on se retrouve couvert d'une légende de merde si bien épaisse qu'il y a plus qu'à te foutre à la fosse ! Et sans Te Deum!...´ ("Yes, no doubt Joulon is an admirable poet, but he is a relentless globetrotter, if he had come to see us 5 years ago, I would have freed him from many salads which have done me enormous harm. Misunderstandings, blunders, ignorance, naivety, mirages, miracles, blablas, carefully maintained, you know, it's worse than anything… At the end we find ourselves covered with a caption of shit so thick that there is more than to through you in the pit! And without Te Deum!...") a lengthy letter referring to a woman `an adorable fairy`, also to the Liberation, and saying before concluding `… j'ai pas de recours, je suis hors la loi !... Vive la mobilisation générale, l'amnistie générale, la bombe générale ! ça fera sortir les taupes des trous…´ ("…I have no recourse, I am outside the law!... Long live to the general mobilization, to the general amnesty, to the general bomb! it will get the moles out of the holes…") A letter of very interesting content. Small overall age wear and creasing, with few small tears to edges and a small repair to the second page edge. G
CELINE LOUIS FERDINAND: (1894-1961) French Novelist. Known as Celine, being his real name Destouches, a controversial writer because of his anti-Semitism. A very interesting A.L.S., with his initials `L.F.C´, two pages, folio, n.p. [Klarskovgaard], 4th August, n.y. [1948], to Charles Deshayes, in French. Celine warns his correspondent about the content of his articles and explains why he doesn´t want to provoke the Ambassador, stating in part and underlining many comments `Je trouve votre opuscule joliment bien troussé et justicier à souhait - Mais attention - biaisez enc e qui concerne Charbonnière, sale petit charogne antillaise qui cité nommément, trop heureux de l´occasiom, sauterait aux Affaires Etrangères Danoises se declarer insulté et provoqué en qualité diplomatique et me derait transférer illico à Fresnes - surtout que ce document de sa main, réquisitoire effronté et criminel, je n´aurais jamais du le connaitre - Je ne l´ai eu en main que par indiscrétion´ ("I find your pamphlet nicely equipped in content and as vigilant as one could wish - But be careful - skew with regard to Charbonnière, dirty little West Indian carrion who, quoted by his name, too happy for the occasion, would jump to Danish Foreign Affairs department to declare himself insulted and provoked in his diplomatic capacity and I would be transferred immediately to Fresnes - especially since this document in his hand, a cheeky and criminal indictment, I should never have known it - I only had it in my hand by indiscretion") Céline further explains in more detail the delicate situation, saying `En principe c´est la police denoise qui m´a donné la liste de mes prétendus crimes - vous saisissez - et cette liste est suppose provenir du Parquet de Paris. Charbonnière.. a corsé le dossier, qui de son propre aveu ne contenait rien - dans la furie de Zèle épurateur… mais si je le cite, il s´estime insulté en tant qu´ambassadeur! C´est une affaire d´homme à homme à traiter entre lui et moi, plus tard s´il y a un plus tard, mais point sur le plan où nous sommes… Prisonnier sur parole - Pensez! Qui crée des difficultés au ministère des affaires étrangères du Pays qui l´héberge…´ ("In theory, it was the Danish police that gave me the list of my alleged crimes - you understand - and this list is supposed to come from the Paris government. Charbonnière.. has laced the file, which by his own admission contained nothing - in the fury of his purifier zeal… but if I quote him, he considers himself insulted as an ambassador! It's a man-to-man affair to be dealt with between him and me, later, if there's one later, but not where we are now… Prisoner on parole - Think! The one who creates difficulties to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country that hosts him…") Accompanied by the original oblong 4to envelope, addressed in Céline´s hand, postmarked and stamped. Small overall creasing, otherwise G to VG Charles Deshayes, French Journalist. Deshayes admired Céline and with a lot of abnegation but also clumsiness, tried to help the exiled writer by providing him with documentation and rendering him many services. He wanted to help Céline with his pen by addressing his opponents belligerent and provocative wording of very poor quality which sometimes exasperated John. Céline often instructed him on how to write and proceed with articles.
