III with eleven numbered plates including one (folding) of the Bamiyan Buddhas, and one large folding map, contemporary half diced calf, marbled covers, stamped gilt spines with insignia and motto of the King's Own Royal Lancaster Regiment, or perhaps the Inniskilling Fusiliers 212 x 140 mm.(2)Footnotes:ProvenanceDr James Burnes, brother of Sir Alexander Burnes, the author (inscription in front endpaper of vol. I).Library of the King's Own Royal Lancaster Regiment, alternatively that of the Inniskilling Fusiliers (insignia on spines).The remarkable inscription of Dr James Burnes in the first volume reads as follows:Memo -This book is bound in the leather of the boots with which my brother Sir Alex performed his journey into Bokhara.James BurnesSir Alexander Burnes ('Bokhara Burnes'), British traveller, explorer, writer and participant in the 'Great Game' in Central Asia and the borders of India, was born in 1805. He joined the Bombay Infantry in 1821. He devoted himself to the study of local languages and was, while still an ensign, selected for the post of regimental interpreter. In 1829, he was transferred to the Political Department as Assistant to the Political Resident in Kutch. In 1831, he travelled to Lahore in charge of English horses including a team of carthorses, four mares and a stallion, sent by the King of England as presents for Maharajah Ranjit Singh. The actual objective of Burnes' mission was to survey the River Indus and assess the power and resources of the Amirs of Sindh, then being threatened by the Maharajah.In October of that year, Burnes organised the first meeting of Maharaja Ranjit Singh with a serving commander of British forces in India, Lord William Bentinck, the Governor-General. The event was marked by the Maharaja's open display of the Koh-i-Noor, which he presented for free inspection to the British attendees. (The jewel would of course eventually come into the possession of the British Royal Family and was later set in Queen Alexandra's crown).As with other European visitors (such as Emily Eden), it was Ranjit Singh himself who seems to have made the greatest impression, as in the following passage in the French edition offered here:...et il doit y avoir un contraste prodigieux entre son esprit et son corps. Il a perdu un oeil, il est marque de la petite verole, et sa taille ne depasse surement pas cinq pieds trois pouces. Il est entierement exempt de pompe et de faste; mais l'attitude respectueuse de sa cour est remarquable; personne ne prenait la parole sans en avoir obtenu la permission par un signe, quoique la presse ressemblat plutot a celle d'un bazar qu'a celle des apartemens du plus puissant des princes indigenes de cette contree dans les temps actuels (p. 149).Burnes described Maharajah Ranjit Singh's habits and government, his passion for his horses, troops and horse artillery, and dancing girls. In January 1832, Burnes visited Lahore again to solicit facilities from the Maharajah for travel through the Punjab to Afghanistan, Central Asia, Balkh and Bokhara.It is not too fanciful, therefore, to think that the binding of the present volumes derive from the very boots worn by Burnes when he met Ranjit Singh, and other Sikh notables, in Lahore. Afghanistan, however, and the routes between North India and central Asia were the key to the 'Great Game', in which the southward ambitions of Tsarist Russia threatened to collide with the British northward-looking desire to protect India, primarily, and by extension Persia. In 1831, travelling in disguise, Burnes surveyed the route through Kabul to Bokhara - and hence to Central Asia and the borders of Russia - and produced the first detailed accounts of Afghan politics.In the following years his travels continued through Afghanistan across the Hindu Kush to Bukhara (in what now is modern Uzbekistan) and Persia.The narrative which Burnes published on his visit to England in 1834 added immensely to contemporary knowledge of these countries and was one of the most popular books of its time. The first edition earned the author £800, an enormous sum in those days. Much feted, his services were recognised not only by the Royal Geographical Society of London, but also the French Geographical Society. Burnes was also elected a Fellow of the Royal Society the same year.Soon after his return to India in 1835 he was appointed to the court of Sindh to secure a treaty for the navigation of the Indus. In the following year he undertook a political mission to Dost Mohammed Khan in Kabul. This was to be the road to his own end, and the start of years of disastrous British interventions in Afghanistan.On the restoration of Shah Shuja in 1839, Burnes became Political Agent at Kabul, and was knighted by Queen Victoria on 6 August 1839. A posthumous account of Burnes' later adventures was published in 1842 under the title of Travels into Bokhara, being an Account of a Journey from India to Cabool (recently republished).Shah Shuja was a British puppet, and Burnes regarded him as the wrong man for the job. Shah Shuja was loathed by the Afghan people, and so were the British. There was a breakdown of order in Kabul, partly brought about by high taxation and food prices, but mainly by this antagonism. Burnes and a group of British officers became the focus of the anger of a mob of Afghans. One officer was shot dead, another hacked to death. Burnes (said to have tied a black cloth around his face so he could not see where the blows came from) walked into the crowd and was beaten to death.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Comment(s): Hirsh was an extremely influential, and early, experimental filmmaker as well as a photographer. He is regarded as a visual music filmmaker, as well as one of the first filmmakers to use electronic imagery in a film. He is greatly underappreciated as a photographer. He exhibited in Los Angeles and San Francisco in seven shows between 1935 and 1955. In the second of these, a 1936 group exhibition entitled ‘Seven Photographers’ held at the Stanley Rose Gallery in Los Angeles, he exhibited with some of the leading figures of West Coast photography: Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, and Brett Weston.

Cream wove paper. Printed to the edge of the sheet. Fine impression. Very good condition. Provenance: Through Feliciano Peña; Private collection, Patzcuaro, Mexico. Comment(s): Rabel's prints are scarce. Born Fanny Rabinovich, she was a Mexican painter and printmaker, also known as "La Fanny de los Fridos". Her family moved to Mexico City in 1938 to escape the Second World War. Rabel's first exhibition was held at the Liga Popular Israelita in 1941 where Frida Kahlo, her teacher at the time, wrote of her: "Fanny Rabinovich paints as she lives, with great courage, intelligence and sensibility... But what I find most interesting in her painting is the profound roots that link the tradition and strength of her people (Jews). It's not a personal style, but rather socialist. She's worried about class problems and has observed with incredible maturity the character and style of her models, giving them always particularly lively emotions. All of this without pretentiousness and full of femininity and class that make her work so complete." Rabel worked as a muralist with Diego Rivera and David Alfaro Siqueiros; other famous teachers were Santos Balmori and Francisco Zúñiga. She was a founding member of the Taller de Gráfica Popular (TGP) and is considered one of the four "Fridos," along with Arturo Estrada, Arturo Garcia Bustos, and Guillermo Monroy.
