Potter (Beatrix) The Tale of Peter Rabbit, first trade edition, deluxe issue with 'wept big tears' on p.51 and bound in mustard-yellow cloth rather than paper boards, half-title, leaf-pattern endpapers, 31 full-page colour illustrations by Potter, small ink ownership inscription to front free endpaper, a few abrasion marks, pp.58-9 and 66-7 stuck together, p.80 with short marginal tear, gutter cracked and weak, final leaf becoming detached, contents shaken, lacking pp.9-10 and pp.15-16, lacking rear free endpaper, lower hinge broken, original mustard-yellow cloth with mounted colour illustration on upper cover, t.e.g., slightly rubbed and soiled, [Linder p.421, Quinby 2], 16mo, London & New York, Frederick Warne and Co. [1902]. *** Rare deluxe issue of the first trade edition of the first book written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter. Originally published in two privately printed editions of 250 and 200 copies (December 1901 and February 1902, respectively), this first trade edition was the first in which all of Potter's designs are printed in color. Leslie Linder records that 2000 copies from the first printing of 8000 were issued in "green cloth, light green cloth or olive-green cloth". This mustard-yellow cloth variant is therefore unrecorded by Linder, making it perhaps the rarest of the different deluxe issues of Peter Rabbit.

CARTIER: ART DECO GEM-SET ROCK CRYSTAL BANGLE, CIRCA 1930Each ruby cabochon within an engraved mount of Persian inspiration, with graduated emerald, ruby and sapphire cabochons in pinched collet settings, atop the tiered rock crystal, with ridges to the spine, tapering to a black lacquer hinge, signed Cartier Paris, maker's mark HL for Henri Lavabre, numbered, French assay marks, inner circumference approximately 15.5cm, Footnotes:If 1920s jewels are characterised by simple, flat and geometric motifs, jewels of the 1930s are distinguishable by their sculptural, much bolder forms. Rainbows of vari-coloured gemstones were replaced with subtle accents of colour, sprinkled against dramatic monochrome themes in onyx, black lacquer, diamonds, platinum and rock crystal. The solid, yet transparent quality of rock crystal creates a unique visual effect with light, sparkling like sunshine through cascading water, allowing jewellers to carve voluminous, architectural forms that retained a sense of delicacy and lightness.This exquisite bangle combines 1930s sculpturesque opulence with Cartier's distinctive use of Persian decorative motifs. Significant archaeological discoveries during the second half of the 19th century led to a rediscovery of civilisations beyond Europe's borders. By the turn of the 20th century, Islamic art had become a field of study and inspiration for museums, artists, musicians, dancers, such as the Ballet Russes, and jewellers, such as Cartier. Jacques Cartier travelled extensively throughout India and the Persian Gulf, and Louis Cartier was equally inspired by Islamic art collections in the Louvre and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs' 'Oriental Rooms'. The resulting relationship between Cartier and the East was longstanding and prolific, with Persian and Mughal-inspired motifs appearing in their jewels from the dawn of the 1900s to the 1930s. Accompanied by a document from IAJA Expertise stating that the bangle is by Cartier.
