`…leaders of the current committees, who do not even know the name of the pioneers of cinematography. Fat wine merchants, who have become cinema tenants..´MÉLIÈS GEORGES: (1861-1938) French Film Director, a pioneer of cinema and innovator in the use of special effects. Rare and lengthy interesting A.L.S., G. Melies, four pages, small writing, 4to, Orly, 4th January 1934, to Auguste-Jules Drioux, in French. A lengthy letter written by Melies during an illness convalescence at home, referring first to his health `Il y a 2 jours, environ, où cela semble aller un peu mieux, quoique je sois encore au lit et d´une très grande faiblesse, mais enfin j´ai pu manger un peu, et digérer, car depuis 6 semaines, rien ne passait! Il faut espérer qu´à force de purges , de lavements, de cataplasmes, de ventoses, sans compter tout le tremblement de cachets, potions, ampoules, etc…´ (“Since 2 days ago, approximately, things seem to be going a little better, although I am still in bed and very weak, but finally I was able to eat a little, and digest, because for 6 weeks, nothing passed through! It is to be hoped that by dint of purges, enemas, poultices, suction cups, not to mention all the trembling of tablets, potions, ampoules, etc..”) Melies further refers to his opinions and relationship with the Mutuelle du Cinema, an association which gets funds from the cinema itself, working for the cinema and its workers, and which should help its members when they get old if they need assistance or medical attention, and mentions also his personal difficult financial situation, and states in part `Vous me demandez de vous dire franchement et sans gêne si la société de la “Mutuelle” ou d´autres sont venus à notre aide dans ces circonstances. Quoi qu´il m´en coûte, je suis oblige de répondre: hélas, non! A un point que nous avons complètement épuisé nos bien maigres économies, et que depuis près de 3 semaines, j´ai du laisser tomber le médecin, n´ayant plus de quoi payer ses visites et les énormes factures de pharmacie qui suivaient invariablement les dites visites´ (“You ask me to tell you frankly and without embarrassment if the “Mutuelle” society or others have come to our aid in these circumstances. Whatever it will cost me, I am obliged to answer: alas, no! To the point that we have completely exhausted our very small savings, and for nearly 3 weeks now, I had to drop the doctor, having no money left to pay for his visits and the huge pharmacy bills that invariably followed the said visits”), further adding `Quant à l´oeuvre de la “Mutuelle”, qui est actuellement dans la plus grande “panade”, les presidents ont été prévenus de ma maladie par le directeur d´ici, mais, malgré qu´on ait pour Georges Mélies la plus grande consideration (en paroles et en écrits du moins) personne n´a daigné se déranger, on ne m´a même pas offert de m´envoyer un médecin, et encore bien moins de m´aider pécuniairement´ (“As for the work of the “Mutuelle”, which is currently in the greatest “mess”, the presidents were informed of my illness by the local director, but, despite the fact that we have for Georges Mélies the greatest consideration (in words and in writing at least) no one deigned to bother, I was not even offered to send me a doctor, and even less to help me financially”) Melies further explains that the Mutuelle cannot afford paying cleaners and cookers and that they have to take care of this too, and his wife who is doing all the work, is exhausted, very old and with no strength to even walk `Plus personne pour la cuisine et le ménage. Allez les vieux, collez-vous y de nouveau!... quand on est malade, et qu´on vous laisse froidement sans le sou, et sans soins, alors cela n´est plus rigolo du tout!..´ (“No one for cooking and cleaning. Come on old folks, stick to it again!... when you're sick, and you're coldly left penniless, and careless, then it's no longer fun at all!..”), and before concluding, sends his furious critics on the boarding directors and announces future protests he intends to lead, saying `il est bien difficile de se faire entendre des gros bonnets des comités actuels, qui ne connaissent, même pas de nom, les pionniers de la cinématographie. D´épais marchands de vin, devenus tenanciers de Cinéma…´ (“it is very difficult to be heard by the leaders of the current committees, who do not even know the name of the pioneers of cinematography. Fat wine merchants, who have become cinema tenants..”) A letter of very interesting content, explaining the difficult last years of Melies and his critics about the Cinéma Mutuelle and the future of the pioneers of the “Cinematographie”. Very small overall minor age wear with a very small area of paper loss and singeing to the upper left corner, not affecting the text or signature.

‘Our looks will find success with all those who see and want to see as we do and will force others to see facts and things from this same side’EISENSTEIN SERGEI: (1898-1948) Soviet film director & film theorist, a pioneer in the theory and practice of montage. A rare A.L.S., S Eisenstein, two pages, large 4to, Moscow, 21st November 1928, to [Leon Moussinac] ('Tres cher Monsieur!'), on Eisenstein's personal printed stationery, in French. The director writes a charming letter to his correspondent, in red ink, commencing 'It is very difficult for me to express my feelings towards 'our looks'' explaining, 'Because unfortunately the art of expressing myself in French does not reach anywhere neither the degree of my sympathy towards your newspaper, nor the perception of its edition!' and further remarking 'But all these technical, picturesque, and literary perfections are far surpassed by the fact that your publication happily accomplishes the noble and difficult task of truly reflecting our looks as they are. The looks of all those to whom the human cause is the only worthy occupation and to which they devote all their energies and all their labors. Our looks will find success with all those who see and want to see as we do and will force others to see facts and things from this same side'. Immediately beneath his signature Eisenstein has added the titles of his two most famous silent films, Battleship Potemkin (1925) and October (1928), and in a postscript (signed with his initials SE) writes 'I do hope that if you intend to put this letter to press that you will kindly correct it and eliminate the thousands of errors contained in these few lines'. Some light overall age wear and minor staining. The letter was evidently neatly split at the central vertical and horizontal folds at one stage although has since been professionally repaired to a reasonable standard although with some light scuffing slightly affecting some words of text and the signature. About G Leon Moussinac (1890-1964) French writer, film and art critic, film historian and film theorist.

In 1927, Mussinac visited the Soviet Union, after which he wrote the book Le cinema sovietique in 1928.

BURGESS GUY: (1911-1963) British diplomat and Soviet Agent, a member of the Cambridge Five spy ring that operated from the mid-1930s to the early years of the Cold War era. A rare book signed, being a hardback edition of Classics and Commercials - A Literary Chronicle of the Forties by Edmund Wilson, second impression published by W. H. Allen, London, February 1952, bearing the ownership signature ('Jim Eliot') of Burgess, using his pseudonym, in bold pencil to the front free endpaper. Also bearing the bookplate of Kim Philby (1912-1988) British intelligence officer and a double agent for the Soviet Union. The slim oblong 12mo bookplate features Philby's name ('H. A. R. PHILBY') within a decorative border and is neatly affixed to the front pastedown. Bound in the publisher's blue cloth with title to spine and with a small Foyles bookshop sticker affixed to the lower left corner of the front pastedown. Lacking the dust jacket. An interesting association copy bearing the rare signature of Burgess. Some fading to the spine and boards and with some light overall age wear, G It was Harold Adrian Russell 'Kim' Philby who, in 1935, recommended to Soviet Intelligence that they recruit Guy Burgess as an agent. Philby was also responsible for tipping off Burgess (and the spy Donald Maclean) that they were under suspicion of espionage, prompting them to defect and flee to Moscow in May 1951. In the biography Guy Burgess - The Spy who knew Everyone the authors Stewart Purvis and Jeff Hulbert write that Burgess adopted a pseudonym in order to prevent a wider knowledge of his whereabouts in Moscow, explaining 'He gave himself the first name Jim, after Jim Lees, the former miner who'd been at Trinity with him. The surname he adopted was Eliot, apparently after the female author of Middlemarch known as George Eliot. To fit with the Russian style of having a patronymic as a middle name, he should have Russianised his father's name Malcolm, but it was easier to use a character from War and Peace, Andrei, and use Andreyvitch instead. Thus Guy Burgess was also 'Jim Andreyvitch Eliot', sometimes Elliot and even Elliott'.

LAGAVULIN 12 YEAR OLD WHITE HORSESingle malt.The Islay distillery of Lagavulin first gained notoriety in 1862 when it was acquired by the well-known blender, John Logan Mackie.

GLENMORANGIE 10 YEAR OLD DORNOCH BRIDGE COMMEMORATIVE BOTTLINGSingle malt.Famous for their unique stills, each as tall as an adult giraffe, and their passion for innovation, Glenmorangie remains one of the best-selling single malts in the world. They were one of the first distilleries to experiment with cask finishing; the process of transferring spirit from one cask type to another in order to impart additional characteristics and flavours.To further this agenda of innovation, in September of 2021 Glenmorangie began production at their new “Lighthouse” facility, a futuristic R&D department protruding from the heart of their traditional distillery complex like a monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Off limits to the public, it is home to a “sensory lab” as well as two of Glenmorangie’s signature stills, each of which plays host to several classified modifications. Only time will tell what exciting innovations will filter down to the rest of the industry.This limited edition was bottled in 1991 to commemorate the construction of the Dornoch Bridge.40% ABV / 70cl
