Rory Breslin (b.1963)Artemision Horse StudyBronze, 71cm high x 74cm long x 28cm wide (28 x 29 x 11")Edition 3/3This sculpture is a study of the horse's head in one of the most popular and important displays in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, the bronze Horse and Jockey Group. The group was found in a shipwreck off Cape Artemision, in North Euboea, which was discovered in 1926. The first parts of the equestrian statue were recovered in 1928, with more pieces found in 1936 and possibly 1937. The statue was reassembled, and after restoration went on display at the Museum in 1972.The Horse and Jockey Group is special in being one of the few original large-scale bronzes securely dated to the Hellenistic period. It is approximately lifesize in scale and consists of a horse in mid- gallop, on which is seated a youthful jockey, who looks back over his shoulder. The Horse and Jockey group is unusual in combining an athletic sculpture with an animal. The unknown sculptor of this masterpiece has captured the excitement and vitality of a horserace in mid-action. Some scholars have previously dated the group from the late fourth century B.C. to the first century B.C. The statues have been attributed previously to various sculptors, including Kalamis, Lysippos and the Pergamene school.

Harley Davidson – PatentW. S. Harley „Compression Relieving Mechanism“Original US Patent LithographNo. 1,301,256Eingereicht: 19. September 1917Patentiert: 22. April 1919Edition: 100 ExemplareJe Blatt, 28 x 18,5 cmSehr selten!Dieses Patent wurde noch nie versteigertDieses Original US-Patent besteht aus zwei Blatt Zeichnungen und einem Blatt Beschreibung (Seiten 1 und 2). Die Zeichnungen zeigen einen Vertikalschnitt durch einen Verbrennungsmotor mit verbessertem Ventilöffnungs-Mechanismus (siehe die Figur 1) und einem Horizontalschnitt durch die Linie 2-2 aus Figur 1 (siehe die Figur 2). Die zwei Blatt Zeichnungen sind unten mit dem USA Lithographer „THE NORRIS PETERS CO., PHOTO-LITHO., WASHINGTON, D.C.“ gestempelt.Die Beschreibung beginnt mit:Be it known that I, WILLIAM S. HARLEY, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Compression-Relieving Mechanism…William S. Harley (1880 – 1943) war Chefingenieur der 1907 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (USA) von William S. Harley & Arthur Davidson gegründeten Harley Davidson Motor Co. (jetzt Harley Davidson Inc.). Ab 1913 wurden einige neue Entwicklungen im Bereich der Ventilsteuerungen im Zylinderkopf patentiert. Diese USA Patentschrift beschreibt eine dieser frühen Entwicklungen!Extrem selten, vor allem in diesem erstklassigen Zustand.Provenienz:Sammlung Barenyi (Konstrukteur des VW Käfer)Edition and Rarity of US Patent LithographsUS Patent Lithographs are complete copies of the specifications and drawings of every US Patent issued. They contain of photo-lithographic drawing sheets which are single sided along with the full specification of the Patent on mostly double-sided sheets.Edition of US Patent Lithographs during the period 1871 to 1926Beginning with July 1, 1871 one hundred and fifty copies of every US Patent issued were printed (1, see “first attempt”) and this edition was kept constant during the first two decades of reproduction. The edition was afterwards reduced to 100 copies since the fiscal year 1891 (7) and to 75 copies since the fiscal year 1899. After the year 1904 the edition was after all increased to 100 copies and kept constant until the end of the examined period (1926) (2) (3) (4) (5).Rarity of US Patent LithographsStarting with July 1, 1871 the US Patent Lithographs were mainly distributed to the libraries around the country in so-called weekly bounded volumes and only a few of them were sold.Already one year later these weekly bounded volumes were substituted by monthly bounded Library Editions (July 1, 1872) because it was found that the fifty-two volumes per year fill up the shelves of the libraries so fast as to make the custody of the volumes somewhat irksome and expansive. The Library Editions also contain the full specifications and drawings of every US Patent, but printed on both sides of the page, the drawings, four on a page (6).Because the US Patent Lithographs failed almost wholly to supply the public want (1, see “supplemented by the Official Gazette”) they were additionally supplemented by the Official Gazette of the US Patent Office, instituted on May 18, 1872.Therefore, most US Patent Lithographs (especially within the first two or three decades of reproduction) remain in the US Patent Office after the midyear of 1872 and are of course already disposed.For example, in the report upon the damage of the fire from 1877 at the US Patent Office it was roughly estimated that the whole edition of 150 copies of every lost US Patent has been destroyed, about 40,000 sets or 600,000 copies at all (1, see “loss by fire”).Original US Patent Lithographs are thus extremely rare and only a handful of these Lithographs have certainly survived.Due to the fact that US Patent Lithographs before the fire from 1877 were printed by the American Photo-Lithographic Company until July, 1874 and by the Graphic Company of New York until June 30, 1875, respectively (1, see “American Photolithographic”), and thereafter by the Norris Peters Photo-Lithographer of Washington D.C. (also the reproductions of the lost sets), and because the particular Lithographer is marked at the bottom of the drawing sheet(s) in most cases, an original US Patent Lithograph before the fire from 1877 can be identified through the marked Lithographer in some extent.References:(1) Brief History of the United States Patent Office from its Foundation – 1790 to 1886(2) Official Gazette of the United States Patent Office, Vol. 126, No. 5, January 29, 1907, pages 1779 and 1780(3) Annual Report of the Commissioner of Patents for the Year 1915; Washington Government Printing Office 1916, page VII(4) Annual Report of the Commissioner of Patents for the Year 1922; Washington Government Printing Office 1923, page IX(5) Official Gazette of the United States Patent Office, Vol. 344, No. 3, March 16, 1926, page 541(6) Official Gazette of the United States Patent Office, Vol. 3, No. 1, January 7, 1873, page 28, Bound Volumes of Patents, column II(7) Senate of the United States for the First Session of the Fifty-Second Congress, 1891-1892.
