Lot 232
A rare believed Victorian magicians magic trick drinking barrel. Made of chrome plated steel, with holding chain to top. From either end the barrel appears empty. To one end of the inner tube is a secret panel which reveals a sprung spout with various pipework. Operation of the sprung tap is performed by use of a secret switch disguised as a chain bracket. Comes with a 'Dewar's Whisky' brass tap and a slip-over ring. Presumably the trick worked by the magician showing the barrel to be empty, then placing the removable ring (likely with a wooden panel insert) over one end and 'secretly' springing the pipe out of its panel. The brass tap could then be placed into the blank end and liquid produced from the seemingly empty barrel. Measures; 37cm tall.

MALET LUCAS: (1852-1931) British Novelist, pseudonym of Mary St Leger Kingsley. A.L.S., Mary St Leger Kingsley, four pages, 8vo, London, 3rd April 1892, to Miss Ritchie. Malet enquires of her correspondent, in part, 'Wd it be too much to ask you to add the address to the enclosed? (no longer present) I am not sure of Mr. Robertson's initials so cannot make out his wife's address from the Red Book. I have wanted so much to meet Mr. Robertson' further alluding to a 'curious little situation' in which Malet asserts, 'Some people say I am a witch; and that afternoon I half believed it - But think my magic is white magic, not black - I hope so, any how' continuing, 'Are you free on Wednesday, after four? - Valentine Ferguson will be here, and possibly Thomas Hardy of “Tess” fame. I find he is in London, & he intimates that he wishes in all kindness - to abuse me slightly by word of mouth, I have begged him to come in that afternoon and administer castigation. Oh! How you play! - does it make life more or less sad, that you can speak out, in these wonderful sounds…' With minor dust stains and light age wear. GAnne Ritchie (1837-1919) English Writer, the eldest daughter of William Makepeace Thackeray. It is a possibility that this is Malet's correspondent.Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) English Novelist. Hardy based his novel Jude the Obscure (1895) largely on Malet's Wages of Sin (1891), using Malet's plot, characters, dialogue, and scenes, but he reversed the ideological direction of Malet's text.Tess of the d'Urbervilles, a novel by Thomas Hardy, published by James R. Osgood, McIlvaine & Co, London, 1891.
