-- "die geballte Romanarbeit"-- Edschmid, Kasimir, Schriftsteller, anfangs einer der wichtigen Vertreter des Expressonismus (1890-1966). 3 eigh. Briefe m. U. "Kasimir Edschmid" oder "K. E.". Zus. 3 S. auf 3 Bl. Gr. 4to. Darmstadt 6.VI., 7.XI. und 13.XI.1919.An die Schauspielerin Tilla Durieux, deren Ehemann Paul Cassirer Edschmids Roman "Die achatnen Kugeln" verlegen will. Edschmid äußert seine Freude, nennt sein nächstes Buchprojekt, schwärmt von Tillas Schauspielkunst und beschäftigt sich mit ihrer politischen Rolle in der Münchener Räterepublik, wo sie u. a. Ernst Toller unterstützt hatte, sowie mit ihren Konflikten am Münchener Residenztheater. "... Ihr lieber Brief hat mir toll Freude gemacht. Das ist gut und famos. Daß es Paul Cassirer gefällt, ist wichtig, denn Erfolg ist nur, was geglaubt wird. Es war keine leichte Sache für mich. Ich hab das Buch tatsächlich 5-7 mal geschrieben. Es gibt noch keinen expressionistischen Roman. Ich mußte die Form suchen, die lange Kurve, die Gliederungen, die Scharniere, daß schließlich das Ganze auf einen großen Bogen flitzt. Ich habe oft danebengehauen. Von neuem angefangen. Jahre lange Arbeit. Jetzt hab ichs. Und bin vergnügt. Im Sommer komm ich wieder südwärts. Vorher arbeite ich noch ein schmales Buch ‚Frauen’ aus. Zwei große Novellen; Landschaft, Frauen, Politisches, ... Poetisches. Es strengt nicht so riesig an wie die geballte Romanarbeit und läßt einige Zeit zum Autofahren, Segeln und ausschweifenden Leben.Als wir uns zuletzt sahen, waren Sie bös, weltschmerzlich, ich schickte Ihnen Blumen, schrieb, daß Ihre Sophie [?] mir das größte Münchner Erlebnis [?] gewesen. Sie glaubten es, aber schrieben nicht. Schade. Sie müssen immer glauben, was ich sage. Ich bin nicht höflich genug, um zu lügen. Ich möchte Sie noch in vielen andern Rollen sehen. Sie sind doch neben der großen und gewaltigen Schicksals-Kraft der Geste und Sprache die einzige Frau, die einen Körper hat von einer Modulation der Bewegung, wie ihn nur die edelsten Tiere im Zoologischen Garten (mein Lieblingsaufenthalt) haben. Das ist etwas Fabelhaftes, Elementares. - Sie haben böse Wochen mitgemacht in München. Kann man nicht rasch eine Aktion arrangieren, um Toller zu retten. Ich nehme es sofort gern in die Hände [6.VI.] ... als ich Anfang Oktober in München Sie anrief, hieß es, Sie seien ein paar Tage vorher nach Berlin gefahren. Mir geht es schlecht, die Asthma-Attacken bewölken immer noch meinen Horizont ... Ich habe oft an den Mittag gedacht, den ich in der Sonne im Krankenhausgarten bei Ihnen saß. Und ich habe irgendwie daraus das Gefühl mitgenommen, daß ich gern Ihnen etwas Angenehmes täte [7.XI.] ... Ihr Brief hat mich sehr gepackt. Denn erstens ist es doch ungeheuerlich, wie Sie, die gutgläubig gingen und für die München auf den Knien danken sollte mit seinen alten Schauspielziegen, dort ein Unglück nach dem anderen erleben mußten und wahrscheinlich nur mit Schaudern zurückschauen auf diese Zeit und Epoche. - Und zweitens, weil ich wieder sah, wie übel die Menschen sind ...". Er habe damals schon den Eindruck gehabt, dass man sie dort ungerecht behandle. "... Daß aber die Literaten versagen, wissen Sie, das erstaunt mich nicht. Nur bei ganz jungen Leuten findet man Furor und Sich-riskieren ... Aber es geht uns irgendwie ähnlich. Sie sind eine Frau und brauchen in gewissen Situationen immer einen Mann, der für Sie eintritt. Ich brauchs nicht und scher mich einen Teufel drum. Aber es ist doch verflucht widerlich zu sehen, wie Menschen, die a priori annehmen, daß man für sie eintritt und für die man Bäume aus der Erde rupfte, daß solchen Schweinen auch nicht einmal die Idee kommt, sie könnten sich für einen einsetzen ... Ich mache im Winter einen Novellenband fertig und mache die Entwürfe zu einem großen Roman. Vergessen Sie nicht, dass Sie immer auf mich zählen sollen, wenn es nötig ist und Sie brauchen es nur ohne jede Formalität zu sagen. Sie sind in Ihrem Spiel so wundervoll gewesen, daß Sie in Berlin sicher Freude daran haben ..." [13.XI.]. - Alle Teile gelocht, der dritte Brief auch etwas fleckig.

He subsequently served as watchmaker to Louis XVI and Napoleon I. He operated from premises in the rue Saint-Denis and in 1789 moved to 12 Place des Victoires.

C.V.O. Deceased, Halton House Tring'. 1918. Listed as 'A clock in ormolu case, supported by a figure of an elephant, £15.0.0.' Catalogue note The 18th century was a period of great exploration and the discoveries made were often reflected in the decorative arts of the period. This was especially true in France during the reign of Louis XV where the skills of the master clockmakers, ebenistes, bronziers and ceramicists were often combined to create fantastical objects such as the clock being offered here. The animals used in the creations varied widely and eventually included elephants, rhinoceroses and ostriches, as well as the more recognisable bulls and wild boars. The earliest examples of these exotic clocks date to the mid-1740s but their popularity reached its zenith in the 1750s and lasted to the early 1760s. The modelling of the elephant used in this clock is likely to have its origins in the Japanese Kakiemon porcelain models of the late 17th century such as those that can be seen at Burghley House in Lincolnshire (Porcelain from Palaces, Exhibition Catalogue, British Museum, 6 July - 4 November 1990, p.178, no.160), and others were found across the European Courts. A prominent maker of clock cases was Joseph de Saint-Germain (maitre in 1750). He was one of the most celebrated bronziers of his age and championed the Rococo style. See H. Ottomeyer / P. Proschel, Vergoldete Bronzen, p.123. pl.2.8.3., for an elephant clock by Saint-Germain very similar to our clock. A related clock formerly in the Jones Collection can be found in the Victoria & Albert Museum, accession number: 1008:1-1882.

STATUETTE DE DIVINITÉ EN ALLIAGE DE CUIVRE DORÉ D'UN MANDALA DE CHAKRASAMVARATIBET, XVE/XVIE SIÈCLEHimalayan Art Resources item no. 4608 23 cm (9 in.) highFootnotes:A GILT COPPER ALLOY RETINUE FIGURE FROM A CHAKRASAMVARA MANDALATIBET, 15TH/16TH CENTURY西藏 十五/十六世紀 銅鎏金神祇像 出自勝樂金剛壇城 Provenance:With Claude de Marteau, Brussels, by 1970sThis lively retinue figure was once part of a larger iconographic program featuring Chakrasamvara in union with his consort Vajravarahi. Standing in a wide lunge and crowned with a diadem, she acts as both a guardian and transmitter of secret tantric doctrine. She is naked with cascading red hair, holding ritual implements of a hooked knife, skullcup, drum, and the outline of a khatvanga and wears a garland of skulls around her body in a fierce portrayal. Her ornamental jewelry of earrings and bracelets, with strands of beaded chains and jeweled sashes draping her body evoke her esteemed position within the highest realms of tantric teachings. Having overcome the limits of ego and ignorance, she stands victorious over a prostrate figure, whose left hand and hair spill across the edge of the base. This four-armed iconographic form is associated with the four goddesses, or dakinis, surrounding Chakrasamvara of which in paintings are differentiated by colors including red, green, yellow, red, and which are related to the four cardinal directions. Another dakini of similar size and style is published in the Hung Foundation Collection (Hung & Hung, The Beauty of Himalayan Arts, 2019, p. 200).For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

She is memorialized here as a Tantric master, depicted as a sublime dakini, dancing with one leg raised, a hand drum, and a skull cup.

Coin operated music boxes like this example, commonly referred to as "Station Boxes", were installed in Swiss railway stations during the latter half of the 19th century as amusement devices to keep people waiting for trains entertained. They maintained their popularity well into the 20th century. Originally driven by a spring motor which the paying customer had to wind up before playing, most spring motors had worn out by the mid 1900’s and were replaced with electric motors. This example is in very nice original condition. The cylinder plays 8 different tunes. The original tune card is affixed to the inside back of the cabinet. There are no chipped or broken teeth in the comb. The coin mech is intact and it has been converted to an electric motor. The music box is accompanied by a drum and 6 bells played by three Arabic dressed figurines. In the front of the box are three dancers who pirouette while the tune plays. The mechanism is housed in an attractive original finish mahogany cabinet with a glass viewing window in front. The cabinet has 2 veneer chips on the back left side. Height: 68,5 cm. Width: 76 cm.
