RARE An unusual Victorian bound music book autographed by some very wellknown Victorian Entertainers including Fred Robson (1821 1864), Edwin Pearce Christy (1815 1862) and Eliza Cook (1818 1889). This is a Victorian hard bound book containing 22 popular music scores. The opening score is The Postman's Knock Song and this starts with a stunning colour title page (please see photographs). The book has a number of these beautiful title pages at the start of the music scores and it is unusual to find them still in a Victorian music book today as most were cut out and framed in the past. The title page for "Vilikens and his Dinah. Sung by Mr F Robson in the Musical Farce of The Wandering Minstrel" is autographed by Fred Robson (1821 1864) born Thomas Brownbill he was an English comedian, actor and ballad singer. During his acting career, he combined outstanding comic gifts with the power of moving an audience to a sense of tragedy or pathos. He was well known for performing as a Cockney streetsinger, in The Wandering Minstrel, a oneact farce by Henry Mayhew, performing the role from around 1852 with revivals in many towns and at the Olympic Theatre in the West End of London until not long before his death in 1864. The title page for "Christy's Minstrels I'm off to Charlestown" is autographed by Edwin Pearce Christy (1815 1862) was an American composer, singer, actor, stage producer and was the founder of the blackface minstrel group Christy's Minstrels. He was an influential person in the history of Minstrelsy and theatre in American history. His career in minstrelsy began in New York in the 1840s and from there he became a sensation. He and six other performers performed around the country in blackface and eventually he began composing his own minstrel songs and sketches. In 1855 he retired as a performer, but he continued to be involved in the theatre as he managed his original group Christy's Minstrels. Edwin Christy committed suicide during the American Civil War for fear of money troubles. The title page for "Spring, Spring, Beautiful Spring" composed by Eliza Cook is autographed by Eliza Cook (1818 1889) was an English author and poet associated with the Chartist movement. She was a proponent of political freedom for women, and believed in the ideology of selfimprovement through education, something she called "levelling up." This made her hugely popular with the workingclass public in both England and America. Her poem The Old Armchair (1838) made her a household name for a generation, both in England and the United States. In that year, she published Melaia and Other Poems. From 1849 to 1854 she wrote, edited, and published Eliza Cook's Journal, a weekly periodical she described as one of "utility and amusement. The full list of the 22 music scores bound in the book are as follow: The Postman's Knock Song, Campton Races, Britannia The Pride of the Ocean, Will You Come to My Mountain Home, The Wishing Gate, What Are The Wild Waves Saying, Bonnie Dundee, Oh Charming May, Hearts and Homes (signed but unidentified), Shells of Ocean, Ever of Thee, Goodbye Sweetheart Goodbye, Vilikens and his Dinah, I'm off to Charlestown, Spring Spring Beautiful Spring, The Scotch Polka, The Royal English March, Annen Polka, The Albion Schottisch, The Royal Irish Quadrilles (signed but unidentified), Polka Elegante and La Reine Des Roses.

PABLO PICASSO (1881-1973)Minotaure aveugle guidé par une Fillette II, from La Suite Vollard, 1933 signed in penciletching, on Montval laid paper with Montgolfier watermark38.4 x 50.2cm (15 1/8 x 19 3/4in).This work is from the edition of 50, printed by Lacourière, published by Ambroise Vollard, Paris, 1939Footnotes:ProvenanceThe Estate of H.M Petiet, Paris.Acquired from the above by the current owner.LiteratureGeorges Bloch, Catalogue de l'oeuvre gravé et lithographié, Volume I, 1904-1967, Berne, 1968 (Bl.223). Geiser & Baer, Picasso Peintre-graveur, Catalogue raisonné de l'oeuvre gravé, Volume II, 1935-1945, Berne, 1986 (B.435.B.d).This work is perhaps one of the best known and most admired printsfrom the Suite Vollard. An etching of great complexity and intensity,Minotaure aveugle guidé par une Fillette II is the second of fourconsecutive prints dedicated to the subject in the suite. It was nodoubt an important scene for Picasso, one for which he showed anobsessive involvement as he also did many drawings of the subject.There have been many attempts to explain the symbolism of the workand it is generally acknowledged that it is Picasso presenting himselfas his alter-ego, the Minotaur. Rather than the usual overt sexualityand virility associated with the monster (as depicted in lots 7 & 12),the Minotaur here appears blind and vulnerable, in a dramatic nightsetting reminiscent in design to a scene from a Greek tragedy.The little girl guiding the creature bears the traits of Marie-Thérèse,Picasso's pregnant lover at the time to whom he had offered a dove,the bird of peace she is carrying here. Her appearance is innocentand sweet as she gently leads the blinded creature towards the gateat the left.Brigitte Baer has wondered whether the sailors in the background arean attempt at personifying traditional family principles of 19th centuryBarcelona, where she believes the scene could be set. Picasso hadvisited Barcelona with his then wife Olga and their son in Septemberand was perhaps experiencing conflicted feelings. He was obviouslytransgressing traditional marital values because of his affair with MarieThérèse, and the guilt intertwined with his amorous passion could wellhave blinded the Minotaur.Yet Marie-Thérèse seems to represent a haven of peacefulness andvoluptuous tranquillity in opposition to the bitterness felt in his unhappymarriage to Olga; Picasso had lost much of his inspiration andcreativity which were revived after his chance encounter with MarieThérèse in 1927.Is this in fact Olga to the right, statuesque in aspect and seeminglywatching the scene with a detached, estranged gaze? In an earlierversion of the work (see Baer 434), Picasso's re-interpretation ofJacques-Louis David La Mort de Marat, done in July of the same year,was present in the upper left of the plate. This was a piece said tocaricature Olga's – as Charlotte Corday – deathly aggression of MarieThérèse as Marat, which imbued the scene with a tragic aspect.One wonders if the scene here is therefore a hopeful one, in which theMinotaur, guided by the serene Marie-Thérèse, is taken to a brighterplace of comfort and tranquillity. Or is he, blinded by his passion,walking towards more trouble and conflicts? One can only think of thetumultuous years to come afterwards, both in the artist's personal lifeand politically, to attempt a guess.The importance of this work could then be read both in its obsessiverepetition in the artist's creative output of the time, as well as a pivotal,suspended moment in time: uneasy in his deteriorating relationshipwith Olga, expecting a child from Marie-Thérèse, with the SpanishCivil War, Nazism and war growling rampant, all to later explode inPicasso's etching masterpiece La Minotauromachie the following year,and of course in Guernica in 1937This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * AR* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.AR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
