'The author and his brother set out on a shooting expedition into Abyssinia, but after the political upheaval in the region, he became more of a traveler and observer. Volume one primarily dwells on their journey and the history of the area, with brief mentions of hunting lions and elephants garnered from other sportsmen. In volume two, the brothers trekked to Lake Tana and enjoyed considerable sport after hippopotamus, with additional hunts after leopard, lion and gazelle. De Cosson notes that he almost broke his arm trying to fire his Westley Richards express rifle with one hand while trying to ride down antelope.' (Czech).
An unusual illustration from a manuscript, depicting the travels of the King's wife Mihr dressed as a Prince and companions at the Ka'aba in Mecca, Deccan, India, mid-18th century, manuscript on paper, the scene depicting the three worshippers within the hateem, the inner circular wall around the ka'aba, with gold detail to the holy shrine, within a courtyard with arched walls, an entrance gate with watch tower either side below, two lines of Persian in nasta'liq script above, the reverse with a prince, presumably Mihr dressed as a man, on horseback with two attendants, one on camelback, a group of sheep to the foreground and rolling grassy hills to the background, with 5 lines of Persian in nastaliq script above describing the sacrifice of Eid Al Adha, folio 24.3 x 17cm.; painting 20 x 16cm. The Persian text of this unusual illustration refers to the travels of Mihr, the King's wife and her companions towards Mecca, commandments from the King for his vizier, their sacrifice of large amounts of animals and Mihr's circumambulation around the Ka'aba and prayers. Although the text states Mihr is in a state of Ihram she is not shown as such in the illustration, wearing her royal garments rather than the white robes meant to signify that in front of God there is no difference between Muslims of any class or stature.It is interesting to note that the formidable Empress Nur Jahan (1577-1645) was named Mihr un-Nisa at birth, her later name given by her husband the Mughal Emperor Jahangir. Nur Jahan was a very strong and powerful woman obtaining many rights normally belonging to men alone. We do not know if Nur Jahan herself ever made the Hajj nor if this enigmatic text is part of now lost story in which she disguised herself as a Prince and travelled to Mecca but Nur Jahan was not adverse to dressing in men's clothing. A famous painting by court painter Abul Hasan Nadiruz Zaman in the Rampur Raza Library depicts her dressed as a man and holding a gun, her hair tucked up beneath a turban. In 1617, gold and silver coins, which bore her name opposite that of Jahangir, started circulating and a courtier of the period described an incident where she surprised many by appearing in the imperial balcony, which was reserved for men only. She regularly went hunting, issued imperial orders, and designed public buildings, taking measures to support poor women or champion the disadvantaged. In 1626, when Emperor Jahangir was captured by rebels led by Mahabat Khan while on his way to Kashmir, Nur Jahan intervened herself to get her husband released, riding into battle atop a war elephant. Condition Report: The folio is cropped. The edges and corners are in good condition. This folio is repaired and restored form at least one main L-shaped tear. Holding the folio with the scene at the Ka'aba up, one notices extensive repainted areas to the left of the painting, a skillful polygonal patch to the left above the gate, a repaired and repainted tear tot he right and atop of the Ka'aba, the long vertical tear affecting text and painting tot he right. This tear is bordered by further areas of repainting. The rules are in poor condition with some staining and smudging. the two lines of text above are stained, smudged. Holding the folio the other side up (riders in a hilly landscape), one notices the various patches applied to this work. Two are located within the stained and smudged text above. A large area of repaint is noticeable in the corner and affects most of the herd. It mirrors the location of the polygonal insert. The L-shaped tear, now repaired and restored, affects the text, hilly landscape, camel rider, and rules below. The corner has been retouched. The rules have been cursorily retouched with a minute part being refitted upside down. The pigments have dulled, show some staining and would require cleaning.This work would need further sustained attention. The department would highly recommend an inspection in person before bidding.

Hodges Soileau (American, B. 1943) "Red Cloud" Signed lower middle. Original Oil painting on Canvas laid on Foam Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting was published on the Fleetwood First Day of Issue Maximum Card for the U.S. 10c Red Cloud stamp issued on August 15, 1987. Born in 1822 on Blue Creek in Nebraska, Red Cloud earned a reputation as a warrior, diplomat and leader. Described as a natural born gentleman, he led an independent band in the 1860's, and was eventually accepted as leader of the Oglala Sioux -- the largest Teton Sioux tribe. Throughout this period the Oglala dominated the rich Powder River hunting grounds of Wyoming and Montana. Meanwhile, as the Civil War raged eastward, John Bozeman was sent to map a trail through Oglala territory to the Montana goldfields. Red Cloud strongly opposed the route and the three forts built along the trail. He kept relentless pressure on the government and the forts until he succeeded in forcing their abandonment. He won both victory and peace with the treaty he signed on November 6, 1868. In his later years, Red Cloud continued to lead the Oglalas, and on October 7, 1878 he established the Sioux Agency. Blind and ailing, he died December 10, 1909. Image Size: 10.25 x 13.25 in. Overall Size: 13.25 x 16.25 in. Unframed. (B11202)
