A pair rare of Val d`Osne foundry cast iron term figures of a boy and girl circa 1870 160cm.; 63ins high by 25cm.; 10ins diameter A Herm was originally a representation of the head of Hermes rising from a pedestal. In gardens the word is used loosely to signify any head on a pedestal which is either rectangular or tapers downwards. It is often interchangeable with the word Term which originally represented the Roman god Terminus, used in classical times to mark boundaries. Herms/Terms are often found opposite each other in rows such as the Kentian ones at Chatsworth and Chiswick. The Val d`Osne foundry was established by J.P.Andre in 1835 and based at the Val d`Osne, in the Haute-Marne region of France. Over the coming decades the company took over rival firms such as Barbezat, J.J. Ducel and Durenne, becoming far and away the largest manufacturer of cast iron in France The company exhibited at the Great Exhibitions of 1851 and 1862 as well as the Chicago Great Exhibition of 1893. In 1889 the Societe Anonyme des Hauts Fourneaux and Fonderes du Val`Osne published a mammoth 3 volume catalogue of engravings illustrating thousands of cast iron pieces across a huge spectrum, from railings and lampposts to sculpture urns and fountains. This extremely rare pair of herm figures are illustrated on plate 626, Nos 214 & 215. See engraving

Lot 69

†After the Antique: A lead figure of the dancing faun by John Cheere mid 18th century on associated Portland stone base 153cm.; 60ins high John Cheere was first in partnership with his brother Sir Henry Cheere, but took over John Nost`s yard and his moulds for lead figures in about 1739. Until his death in 1787 he was the leading producer of lead statuary as well as working in plaster. Contemporary accounts of his yard, which was situated on Hyde Park Corner indicate that his oeuvre was very varied and included rustic figures as well as classical statues and busts from antiquity. A similar 18th century lead faun exists at Castle Hill in Devon, which also has a number of other lead and plaster busts which are known to be identical to the stock products of Cheere`s yard. Another example is at Castle Howard supplied by Cheere at an unknown date for £17.17s. The original dancing faun in marble is recorded in 1688 as being in the Tribuna of the Uffizi in Florence. Universally admired since its discovery it is quite often paired with the Venus de Medici, also in the Uffizi.

Mary CASSATT. L.A.S., Villa Angeletto, Grasse Lundi [23 novembre 1914], au critique d’art Achille Segard ; 3 pages in-8 à son adresse. Belle lettre. Elle le remercie pour les deux exemplaires de luxe de son livre sur elle. « J’ai pu travailler cet été après près de deux ans de repos forcé, cela change le point de vue. Je lirai avec grand plaisir votre livre sur Mabuse mais j’avais espéré vous intéresser dans un peintre jusqu’à présent peu connu et qui mérite de l’être, si ce n’est que pour l’influence qu’il a exercé sur le Greco. J’ai l’intention de retourner à Parme pour revoir les tableaux de Parmigianino. Le Greco a presque calqué des figures de lui, et il me semble de montrer au jeune peintre d’aujourd’hui qu’on est l’enfant de quelqu’un est très nécessaire, vu leur prétention d’avoir tout inventé ». Elle le remercie encore de son livre : « Je crois que vous avez été on ne peut plus indulgent pour moi. Quand on revient à la vie après une longue absence on se demande si vraiment ce qu’on a fait vaut la peine. Mais on ne peut faire que son mieux, et laisser le jugement à d’autres »â€¦

[Jean-Étienne Liotard fils]. L.A.S. de Jean-François Gampert, Marseille 11 août-8 octobre 1775, à « Monsieur Liotard chez Messieurs Nadal et Robin » à Genève ; 5 pages in-4, adresse. Amusante lettre de Marseille par un ami, jeune négociant, avec des détails piquants sur les femmes. 11 août. Le monde à Marseille est très différent de celui de Genève : les femmes ne pensent qu’à la mode, il fréquente une jeune fille « froide comme le marbre » qui à Genève serait « un prodige de frivolité », et à la Comédie, les figurantes sont vénales, les comédiennes « sages ou difficiles à séduire mais tout le reste est infâme ». Il est presque amoureux d’une chanteuse, mais il voit aussi d’honnêtes femmes de Genève, Nîmes, etc. ; « les jeunes hommes de ce païs sont tous des benets que la debauche a énervé qui n’aiment point faire la cour à des dem. honnetes mais qui preferent satisfaire leurs criminels desirs en voyant des filles »â€¦ Il voit le port depuis sa chambre, peuplé d’« Arabes turcs algeriens juifs negres hollands angl. », etc. « Il y a maintenant des troubles. Aboudabab gouverneur d’Egypte est entré en Sirie a pris Japhe (ancienne Joppe) a passé tous les habitans au fil de l’épée. Acre ville voisine effrayée de ce traitement a ouvert ses ports nous esperons que nos affaires n’auront pas souffert. Je m’en vais faire l’habile négotiant »â€¦ Il espère lui envoyer quelques graines de fruits, peut-être une « basteque qui ressemble extrt à la courge », des papillons pour sa collection, une cigale « grosse comme un gros cerf volant » et d’autres curiosités qu’il aura par la maison de Syrie… Et de terminer par les affaires de galanterie : il a écrit à Gotton « mille extravagances » ; le climat local « porte les deux sexes à se joindre […]. Les marins augmentent extremt la debauche et les femmes qui font ce metier, j’ai grandi maigri noirci. J’ai tout le visage abimé de boutons produit par la chaleur et non par la debauche »â€¦ 8 octobre. Il séjourne à la campagne où il chasse tous les matins sur des montagnes voisines ; aujourd’hui dimanche 12 personnes sont venues dîner dont de jolies demoiselles et une « beauté divine […] de ces figures à faire entreprendre le tour du monde à son service par un homme qui a un cÅ“ur mais mon cher je m’egare […]. Je n’en suis pas du tout amoureux mais j’ai du plaisir à voir une jolie et tendre fillette »â€¦
