JAMES HAVARD (American, b.1937) GHOST DANCE SHIRT (no.389), 1977 Signed and dated and titled verso, acrylic on canvas, unframed 152.5 x 116.5cm. * Havard came to prominence in the 1970's with the Abstract Illusionist movement, using a technique where brushstrokes were painted with a faux `shadow` underneath to suggest that they were floating. Inspired as much by children's drawings as by the creative `Art Brut` urge of artists such as Jean Dubuffet, Havard works with an exuberant application of creamy brushwork and energetic scribbles derived from the Expressionism of fellow American Cy Twombly. His work has been exhibited throughout America as well as in Europe and Scandinavia. The Collections of the Metropolitan Museum, the Guggenheim, the Los Angeles County Museum, the Smithsonian and the Museum of Modern Art in Stockholm all have examples of Havard's works from his long and prolific career. Provenance: New York, Louis K. Meisel Gallery; Heidelberg, DP Gallery ++ Good condition

[NELSON HORATIO]: (1758-1805) British Admiral during the Napoleonic Wars, the victor of the Battle of Trafalgar, 1805. A facsimile A.L.S., Horatio Nelson, one page, folio, n.p. (London), n.d. (4th October 1797), to King George III. The facsimile is a copy of Nelson's memorial read before the King in Council on the 4th October 1797 and printed by Vernor & Hood, London, 1805. The memorial stating, in full, 'To the King's most excellent Majesty the Memorial of Sir Horatio Nelson K. B. and a Rear Admiral in your Majesty's Fleet, humbly sheweth, that during the present war your memorialist has been in four actions with the fleets of the enemy viz on the 13th and 14th of March 1795, on the 13th of July 1795, on the 14th of February 1797, in three actions with frigates, in six engagements against batteries, in ten actions in boats employed in cutting out of harbours, in destroying vessels and in taking three towns. Your memorialist has also served on shore with the army four months, and commanded the batteries at the sieges of Bastia and Calvi, that during the war, he has assisted at the capture of seven sail of the line, six frigates, four corvettes, and eleven privateers of different sizes, and taken and destroyed near fifty merchant vessels, and your memorialist has actually been engaged against the enemy upwards of one hundred and twenty times in which services your memorialist has lost his right eye and right arm, and been severely wounded and bruised in his body, all of which services and wounds your memorialist most humbly submits to your Majesty's most gracious consideration. Horatio Nelson.' Neatly laid down and slightly irregularly trimmed. A few small tears and light stains to the edges, only very slightly affecting the text, G Nelson's ambitious attempt to assault Santa Cruz de Tenerife on 22nd July 1797 ended in defeat and an amputated arm for the Rear-Admiral. Upon his return to England, contrary to his expectations, Nelson was greeted with congratulations, civic honours, and a pension of £1,000 per year. The rules of the service required that, previous to the issuing of this grant, a memorial, distinctly stating his services, should be presented to His Majesty.

A Nema Cipher machine, circa 1948, serial number TD610, with four double bearing rotors, and two single rotors, including red reflectors, together with an instruction manual and booklet Other Notes: During World War II, the Swiss Army used a modified version of the German-made commercial Enigma model K machine. After the Swiss discovered that their Enigma K traffic was being decoded by both allied forces and the Germans, they started the development of their own improved machine, which they called Nema. As the first machines entered service in 1947 a total of 640 machines were built by the Swiss manufacturer Zellweger AG - three versions were in circulation, which can be discriminated by their serial numbers. TD100-199 were made for the Foreign Office, TD200-419 were training machines, and TD420-740 were operational machines. Operational machines differ from the training machines as they have two additional wheels stored inside the top lid and they can be recognised by the label on the outer case saying that it should only be released in case of war. As this is numbered TD610 it is an operational machine.
