Minihan, John. (b.1946) Samuel Beckett, Paris Café, 1985. Original black and white photograph on archival paper. The iconic photograph of Beckett comes together with a unique manuscript statement (written inside a book during a trip) from John Minihan on how the day evolved and this photograph happened. Signed, very rare large print from the private library of John Minihan, with his copyright - stamp on the back and blindstamp to lower right corner. Signed and titled by John Minihan below the photograph and in addition on the back. Beautifully framed.John had the habit of conserving his thoughts (while travelling) immediately on every paper reachable. Often this lead to him using covers or pastedowns of books. This wonderful autograph is extraordinary because it is the only existing handwritten statement we are aware of - that deals with the development of the story around the Samuel Beckett-photograph John is reknown for. '1st December 2009 - Ho-Chi-Minh-City - Someone recently asked me what did i say to Samuel Beckett to get him to pose for what now became an Icon Picture of the writer; well i did not have to say much - for Sam was very much the Director in the picture that i took; yes i knew where i wanted him; yes i knew what Lens i would use; yes I wanted to place him in Paris - But the eyes (,) the way he (was) gazing into space; that's all him, thats how he wante to be percevered' 11.50 by 11.50in.

AN HISTORICALLY INTERESTING 2IN. ACHROMATIC MARINE TELESCOPE BY J. & H. WATKINS, CHARING CROSS, LONDON WITH PRESENTATION INSCRIPTION FROM CAPTAIN EDWARD PELLEW, H.M.S. INDEFATIGABLE 1797, with tapering main tube, lens with cap, signed by the eyepiece as per title and inscribed To Lt. G Bell mark of respect from his Capt. Edward Pellew for his good look out on the night of 13th January 1797 -- 34½in. (87.5cm.) long (closed), The Indefatigable (44) is probably the ship most famously associated with Pellew. Cruising in company with the Amazon (36) on the 13th January 1797, they spotted the superior French 74, Droits de l'Homme. In what should have been a fairly easy victory for the Frenchman, the small British vessels took advantage of the stormy conditions. After 13 hours of combat, running out of ammunition, the British broke contact when Indefatigable sighted land ahead. Despite having damage to her masts and rigging, the Indefatigable managed to beat off the lee shore and escape the treacherous Penmarch reefs; Amazon and Droits de l'Homme ran aground near Plozévet, with Amazon destroyed and her crew being captured. This telescope was undoubtedly presented to the officer who spotted this danger, thereby saving one of England's great naval heroes.
