Lot 136
° CALAMY, Edmund (‘the Historian’, 1671-1732) Original Manuscript – ‘An Historical Account of my own Life, with Some Reflections on the Times I have live (sic) in ‘;written in three folio volumes, earlier 18th cent. half calf & paper boards; paged as: vol. 1 pp. 1-348; vol. 2 pp. 349-517; vol.3 pp. 1-274. In a large and flowing 18th cent. hand (but at vol. 2, p.125 changes to a smaller & thicker script); numerous additional marginal notes, some pencilled page headings, some underlining, some use of square brackets enclosing crossed through text (? for excision). As the work was not published until the nineteenth century (edited J.T. Rutt, 2 vols., 1829) these additions, alterations etc. could be possibly in the hand of an earlier, presumptive editor (? his son, also Edmund). The author, well-known nonconformist minister and historian, was grandson of Edmund Calamy (‘the Elder’) presbyterian and member of the Westminster Assembly of Divines. Sometime after ordination he succeeded Vincent Alsop as pastor at Tothill Street, Westminster (1703). He wrote at length on the Ejectments of 1662, including additions to Richard Baxter’s writings; his friendship with Daniel Williams (becoming his legacy trustee) led up to the founding of the former’s Charity, and the Dr. Williams’s Library – still happily with us in London’s Gordon Square

A letter from Harry Pennell on HMS Duke of Edinburgh letterhead: discussing the commissioning of the ship and drawing for a model. Together with a signed studio portrait photograph of Harry Pennell by Swaine of London:, in a backstamped folio, signed lower right of image, image size 15cm x 10cm. (2)*Notes- Commander Harry Lewin Lee Pennell (1882 31 May 1916) served on the expedition as commander of the Terra Nova whilst Captain Scott and his party were on the ice. Popular among many members of the party, Herbert Ponting recalled in his book that Pennell was 'the most energetic man I have ever known....when Pennell was not occupied with navigating problems, he was either on watch, or conning from the crow's-nest, or else out on the yard-arms helping the seaman set or shorten sail, or otherwise assisting in the handling of the ship. He was a 'whale for work' (1).As they were both Devonians (2) Francis Davies and Harry Pennell established a strong friendship aboard the Terra Nova. During the Hydrographic Survey of Admiralty Bay,Davies assisted Pennell with navigation, 'I usually gave Pennell a hand with the chart, I set the angles on the station pointers for him and he plotted the soundings' (3)After the Expedition Harry Pennell was promoted to the rank of Commander and assigned to HMS Queen Mary. He was skilled aboard her when on the 31st May 1916 during the Battle of Jutland, she was torpedoed by SMS Seydlitz and SMS Derfflinger.References(1) Ponting, Herbert (1921).

Etel Adnan (Liban, née en 1925)La Montagne encre de Chine sur papier arches, encadrésigné 'Adnan' (en bas à droite)exécuté en 202056 x 76cm (22 1/16 x 29 15/16in).indian ink on arches paper, framedsignedFootnotes:ProvenanceCollection de l'artisteLa présente oeuvre est vendue par le Fonds Claude et France Lemand au profit des Artistes et de l'Institut du Monde ArabePeintre et poétesse, née à Beyrouth en 1925, Etel Adnan est libanaise et américaine. Elle poursuit des études de philosophie à la Sorbonne, à Berkeley et à Harvard, et c'est en 1960, alors qu'elle écrit de la poésie, des essais, des pièces de théâtre et enseigne la philosophie de l'art, que se tient sa première exposition de peinture. Après avoir longtemps vécu en Californie, Etel Adnan rentre à Paris où elle travaille et réside aujourd'hui. Grâce à la Donation Claude et France Lemand, le Musée de l'Institut du monde arabe compte désormais l'une des plus importantes collections d'œuvres d'Etel Adnan, regroupant des oeuvres de 1970 à 2018.Le Mont Tamalpaïs est la montagne magique d'Etel Adnan, le centre de son être. Sa rencontre avec cette montagne sacrée l'a éveillée à la contemplation de la nature, à la méditation et à l'art de la peinture. La lumière et les couleurs changeantes, la brume, le brouillard et la neige sont sources d'émerveillement, de nouvelles sensations esthétiques et d'élévation spirituelle. « Debout sur le Mont Tamalpaïs, je participe aux rythmes du monde. Tout semble juste. Je suis en harmonie avec les étoiles. Pour le meilleur comme pour le pire. Je sais, je sais. »-Etel AdnanEtel Adnan was born in 1925 and raised in Beirut, Lebanon. Her mother was a Greek from Smyrna, her father, a high-ranking Ottoman officer born in Damascus. In Lebanon, she was educated in French schools. She studied philosophy at the Sorbonne, Paris. In January 1955 she went to the United States to pursue post-graduate studies in philosophy at U.C. Berkeley, and Harvard. From 1958 to 1972, she taught philosophy at Dominican College of San Rafael, California. Years after Adnan established herself as writer and literary critic, she discovered her gift as a visual artist. In her art practice, Adnan has focused mainly on abstraction, moving fluidly between long, accordion-like folio creations which she produced in the 1970s (Leporellos, or concertina fold bookworks), landscapes created and recreated in drawings, watercolour, ceramics, tapestry, and oils, as well as illustrations of poetry. For her, abstraction was a solution, a language that 'doesn't have a language problem' since without doubt her canvases speak universally.Adnan painted her life, her dislocation, a new non-verbal vocabulary. It should not be forgotten that despite her trajectory of multidisciplinary success, Adnan was nevertheless part of a generation of hardy contemporary Lebanese artists such as Huguette Caland and Saloua Raouda Choucair who despite struggles, were triumphantly inspired by the heritage of their roots and similarly able to achieve an individual and authentic personalised style. These artists overcame challenging forces to establish reputations wherever they were, and Adnan was no exception.Click for an instant shipping quoteFor further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
