ALLIGATOR! A FENDER STRATOCASTER OWNED AND PLAYED BY JERRY GARCIA OF THE GRATEFUL DEADserial number 7310 to plate on the back of the body at the base of the neck indicating a build date of 1955, swamp ash body, maple neck, two control knobs, volume knob missing, applied with several stickers including a caricature of a dancing alligator holding a knife and fork and 'Harley Davidson' and 'Policeman Helper' stickers to the body, in red plush-lined hard case containing one 'Manny's / Heavy' guitar pick and worn 'Good Ol' Grateful Dead' sticker to the outside. The guitar has numerous external and internal modifications largely carried out by Frank Fuller and Rick Turner of Alembic, a company founded by the Grateful Dead in 1969 composed of a small group of instrument and hi-fi specialists who were closely involved in achieving the Dead's signature sound of the 1970s and 1980s. Modifications to this guitar include: replacement Schaller tuners, customized brass control plate and a brass sustainer block mounted on wood riser. The guitar was originally fitted with a custom-made blaster preamp which is no longer present. Some of the wiring has also been altered since Alembic's 1970s work on the guitar. All of the subsequent modifications were made to the guitar while in Garcia's possession. This Fender Stratocaster, nicknamed Alligator after the dancing alligator sticker on the pickguard was Jerry Garcia's guitar of choice from early 1971 until the fall of 1973. It was clearly a favorite, as it was the first of only a handful of Garcia's guitars that were ever named. Garcia played this guitar in numerous live performances, notably on the Grateful Dead's 1972 European tour. Highlights from that tour were released on the live triple album Europe 72. The Grateful Dead also released some of their finest studio albums during this period, including Working Man's Dead and American Beauty.Alligator is believed to have been gifted to Jerry Garcia in 1970 by Graham Nash (ex-Hollies; Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young) in appreciation of Garcia's guitar work on Nash's solo album Songs For Beginners. Nash supposedly bought the guitar in 1970 for $250 at a pawn shop in Phoenix, TX.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: Y

Peter Graham R.A., H.R.S.A (Scottish 1836-1921) A Mountain Road Signed and dated 1881, oil on canvas (Dimensions: 136cm x 184cm (53.5in x 72.5in))(136cm x 184cm (53.5in x 72.5in))Footnote:Exhibited: The exhibition of the Royal Academy, 1881. The 113th., 1881, no. 55 Note: Peter Graham was a Scottish artist renowned for his landscape works, which were magnificent in both scale and execution. He had a remarkable ability to capture the transient character of nature and the romance of the Scottish Highlands in his grand paintings. In a review of the Royal Scottish Academy’s Exhibition of 1860, one critic remarked that Graham’s paintings ‘are a very luxury to the eye; the colour is so fresh and true, the mosses are so soft and velvety, the lichens are so grey-green. You smell the fir-trees when you stand before the first, the joy of summer-tide seems to slide into the sense when you look at the second’ ( “Iconoclast” Reviewed , Maulstick, 1860, p.6). Graham began his artistic career at the Trustees' Academy in Edinburgh, training under Robert Scott Lauder and initially concentrating on figure subjects. However, a holiday to Deeside in 1859 inspired him to turn his attention to landscape paintings. Graham’s work was heavily influenced by the evocative poetry of Sir Walter Scott, as well as the dramatic landscape paintings of Horatio McCulloch. When he moved to London, he began to paint on a grand scale, emphasising the awe-inspiring magnificence of the Scottish scenery. These large paintings particularly appealed to an urban-based audience, and Graham continued to gain popularity across the UK. Reflecting on Graham’s training and success, James L. Caw wrote, ‘His earlier pictures revealed him as an acute observer of Nature, as a careful student of atmospheric effect and natural form’ ( Scottish Painting: Past and Present, James L. Caw, 1908, p.255). Graham was well received at the Royal Scottish Academy, where he started exhibiting in 1855, and made a name for himself in England, becoming an Associate of the Royal Academy in London in 1877. He was then elected a full Royal Academician at the end of 1881, and a Senior Royal Academician in 1919.Condition report: Largely good unlined condition - some minor work to browns in foreground and to lower right hand hillside above valley - slight stretcher marks in oblique light in largely original condition
