Lot 1329
CATHERINE II THE GREAT: (1762-1796) Empress of Russia 1762-96, Catherine the Great. An excellent and very attractive D.S., `Ekaterina´, in Cyrillic, a bold and good signature example, one large page, oblong 15 x 21 folio, Saint Petersburg, 8th August 1769, in Cyrillic. The document bears to the front a splendid and very large paper seal with coat of Imperial arms and is signed by the `Empress and Sovereign of All Russias..´, being a title given, appointing a representative to the Pope Clemens XIV, who will carry out his duties from the Russian consulate established in the port city of Ancona on the Adriatic Sea. Countersigned at the base by Prince Alexander Golitsyn. It is likely that this appointment was postponed or canceled, the name of the diplomat having never been completed. It was probably part of a political strategy of Catherine II who, after the occupation of Poland, had waited only a spark to launch a war of expansion against Turkey, under the false pretext of providing help to Christians against the unbelievers. It will be done in September 1768, and the port of Ancona, natural gate to Turkey, will serve as a base for the Russian fleet already installed in the Mediterranean Sea. In 1771, Russia will seize Crimea and the Turks will finally sign peace in 1774. Accompanied by an official contemporary translation into Latin, attached to main document signed by Catherine II. Very small overall minor age wear. VG Prince Alexander Golitsyn (1718-1783) Russian Marshal and Diplomat. Governor of Saint Petersburg. One of the main Russian military leaders involved in the war against Turks.

FRINK ELISABETH: (1930-1993) English sculptor and printmaker. A good A.L.S., Eisabeth Frink, three pages, 4to, Buckingham Gate, London, n.d. (c.1976), to Lady Ramsbotham. Frink thanks her correspondent for their letter and expresses pleasure that the sculpture is liked so much, further remarking 'I have done a series of reclining horses, another bigger one before this and many small ones. Mainly inspired by seeing my own horse lying down when I was living in France. The stable was under the studio - And I suppose that nearly all animals look so beautiful lying down they take up a wonderful shape and look so reposed and calm. I think I like the idea because when they are in repose like that they are such a contrast to what I normally find in animals and in figures generally, which is a good deal of movement and tension. Although I think recently my work has become really very calm and more simple'. Frink adds 'I don't know whether this answers your question. It is very difficult to translate my sculpture ideas into words. I have a great love of animals and human beings and I find that I seem to prefer working away from the distressfull (sic) conditions we live in today, more and more - I think that the Arts should have a civilizing influence on events, they always have done, but less so now. I am hopeful that they still will again'. Together with Franta Belsky (1921-2000) Czech sculptor. T.L.S., with his initials F.B., one page, 4to, n.p., 14th June 1976, to Elisabeth Frink. The letter, most likely a retained copy, states, in part, 'I had a chance to see your lying Horse in the Washington Embassy garden and Ramsbothams were very anxious that I should tell you, as soon as I can, how much I liked the site they chose for it. They considered most carefully all you had in mind as you expressed it in the letter to them and they, themselves, just love having it there. It looks so unselfconscious and natural, yet it provides the unexpected punctuation which stops you, startled, in mid motion'. With an additional note signed by Belsky at the foot of the page, 'For your info. Love, Franta'. Two letters of excellent content relating to Frink's work. Belsky's letter with extensive neat vertical splits to the central folds, crudely repaired with sellotape and lightly affecting the text. Frink's letter with a few minor stains. P to VG, 2 Frances Blomfield (d.1982) Lady Ramsbotham, first wife of Peter Ramsbotham (1919-2010) 3rd Viscount Soulbury, British diplomat and colonial administrator who served as British Ambassador to the United States 1974-77.
