* A carved wooden ancestor figure, Chambri Lakes, Sepik River, Papua New Guinea, mid-20th c., wooden black-painted figure of male form, with red and white-painted detail, shell eyes, pierced ears tied with twisted twine, and twine loin cloth threaded with a shell, 675 x 90mm (26.5 x 3.5ins). Ancestor figures were made to represent both individual family ancestors and tribal ancestors, as well as clan or tribal totemic animals and other bush spirits. Traditionally they were cared for by family elders who kept the figures in shrines and made frequent offerings to them for the well-being of the family. The figure’s powers could be heightened by being anointed with magical medicines and they were used in a number of ways: to protect the sick from evil forces, guard villages from unwelcome intruders and to ascertain the guilt, or otherwise, of a defendant. It was believed that they could enhance life by interceding on a high plane to provide food, prevent and cure illness, acquire stature, and counter sorcery. This ancestor figure is from the collection of the controversial and eccentric artist Robert Lenkiewicz (1941-2002). The artist would have been particularly interested in the connection between tribal art and the occult. At the time of his death Lenkiewicz’s libray contained some 25,000 volumes devoted to art, the occult sciences, demonolatry, philosophy, metaphysics, alchemy, death, psychology and sexuality, preoccupations which surface in many of his paintings, and his collection of books on magic and witchcraft was one of the finest in private hands.

[Taylor, Jane & Ann]. Signor Topsy-Turvey’s Wonderful Magic Lantern; or, The World turned upside down... Illustrated with Twenty-Four Engravings, 1st ed., printed for Tabart & Co. at the Juvenile and School Library, 1810, pp.71+[1](ads.), eng. frontis. (close-trimmed at top edge clipping image), and twenty-three eng. plts., contents generally browned, and small stain to fore-margin throughout (just clipping edge of images/text in places), a few short edge tears/nicks, mid. 19th c. half calf gilt, lightly rubbed and spine faded, 16mo. Gumuchian 5517; Moon, Benjamin Tabart’s Juvenile Library, 171(1). Extremely rare. Not in Osborne. A curious and amusing little book, which Marjorie Moon calls “an excellent production”. She adds “the verses are neat, pointed and (as may be expected, considering the authors) easily to be understood by children” and she describes the plates (possibly by Isaac Taylor, junior) as “among the more proficient illustrations in children’s books of the period”. The imaginative engravings and accompanying verse are apparently the result of the Magic Lantern operator’s ineptitude as he shows slides upside down, causing humorous reversals of standard roles, such as: ‘Monkey turned Beau’; ‘The Dunce turned Scholar’; ‘The Boy turned Giant’; ‘The Ass turned Miller’; ‘Game turned Sportsman’; ‘Fish out of Water’; ‘The Moon in the Dumps’; and ‘The Horse turned Driver’. In some cases the ludicrous takes on a rather alarming tone, for example, ‘The Cook Cooked’ shows the cook being roasted on a spit by a hare, ‘The Mare turned Farrier’ shows a horse hammering a nail into the farrier’s foot, and ‘The Hogs Court of Inquiry’ shows a number of bewigged hogs presiding over a butcher with bound limbs. Apart from a partial American reprinting in 1811, the book was never published again, in stark contrast to the rest of the Taylor sister’s oeuvre. This may have been in part because Benjamin Tabart was declared bankrupt in 1810, though it still seems surpring that the work was not taken up by another publisher. It seems probable that, despite the moralistic tone of some of the tales, the over-riding theme of anarchy - more subversive than the standard content of early nineteenth century children’s literature - was just too much for contemporary audiences.
