[[BORIANI ARNOLFO]: An exceptional hardbound oblong 8vo autograph album containing over 350 signatures and previously belonging to the Italian Restaurateur Arnolfo Boriani, co-proprietor of the Pall Mall restaurant located in the Haymarket, London, and former employee at the Savoy and Carlton hotels. The album is attractively bound in dark leather with an elaborate gilt stamped decorative border, featuring four different motifs to the corners, with an identical design to the back cover, the spine with four raised bands and five identical gilt stamped motifs to the panels, the front cover further featuring the gilt stamped title Boriani’s Autograph Book from November 1903. All edges gilt. The album contains the signatures of a wide range of luminaries of the day, many of them associated with the theatre and opera, but also including writers, artists, political leaders, aviators, explorers and inventors etc. Most have added brief quotations and statements, some of them quite amusing and more often than not directly related to other signatures and statements on the same pages. Amongst the more prominent entries in the album are (in order of their appearance within the book) - Enrico Caruso (1873-1921) Italian Tenor – a good, original black pen and ink caricature by Caruso, of Boriani in a head and shoulders pose, signed at the base by Caruso and dated London, 1907 in his hand. Enrico Caruso (1873-1921) Italian Tenor – an appealing original black pen and ink self caricature by Caruso, the image depicting him in a profile head and shoulders pose, signed at the base by Caruso and dated London 1905 in his hand. F. Paolo Tosti (1846-1916) Italian-born British Composer – a boldly penned A.M.Q.S. with words beneath (‘Goodbye, Summer Goodbye…’) Richard Caton Woodville (1856–1927) English Artist & Illustrator. An excellent original black pen and ink drawing of Napoleon Bonaparte with a somewhat disgruntled expression on his face as he drinks from a tankard. Makkonen Wolde Mikael (1852-1906) Ras Makkonen. Shum of Harar 1887-1906, father of Emperor Haile Selassie I. Bold ink signature on an irregularly cut portion of an attractive colour menu from the Grill Room of the Carlton Hotel, 5th August 1902, neatly cornermounted to a page.

Barrie (1860-1937) Scottish Novelist & Playwright, created Peter Pan – ink signature and date, June 1903, in his hand on a page also signed by other individuals associated with the playwright’s works including Pauline Chase (amusing A.Q.S. adapted from Peter Pan, in full, ‘To di(n)e will be an awful big adventure’) and Charles Frohman (theatrical producer responsible for the debut of Peter Pan at the Duke of York’s theatre in London, December 1904). G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936) English Writer – ink signature (‘G. K. Chesterton of the Samurai’) alongside a small original drawing, on a page also signed by H. G. Wells (1866-1946) English Writer of Science Fiction novels, with a small original pen and ink self caricature (?) and English painter William Rothenstein who has also added a small drawing in his hand with the additional annotation ‘for H. G. W.’ Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) Scottish Author, creator of Sherlock Holmes – an unusual and amusing pair of signatures, ‘How I ought to graph Arthur Conan Doyle’, immediately beneath adding, with a slightly larger signature, ‘How I do graph, Arthur Conan Doyle’ Auguste Escoffier (1846-1935) French Chef & Restaurateur - A fine autograph menu signed, A Escoffier, penned in his hand beneath a colour illustration of the French and Italian flags and the word Pax above, the menu including dishes named after various composers and operas including Verdi, Rossini and Tosca, April 1904. Roland Garros (1888-1918) French Pioneer Aviator and Fighter Pilot of World War I – Ink signature (‘R Garros’) on a page also signed by other prominent aviators including Jules Vedrines (1881-1919) French Aviator, the first pilot to fly at more than 100mph, winner of the Gordon Bennett Trophy race in 1912 and Rene Vidart (1890-1928) French Aviator; the opposite page signed by three further aviators comprising Claude Grahame-White (1879-1959) English Pioneer Aviator, the first to make a night flight, ‘I’ll eat with you, I’ll drink with you/ I’d drink the ocean dry for you/ I’ll lie for you & possibly might die for you/ But I’ll de d----d if I could fly with you’, Gustav Hamel (1889-1914) British Pioneer Aviator, and Jean Louis Conneau (1880-1937) French Pioneer Aviator. Most of the signatures, some with additional sentiments in French, are dated 3rd July 1911 during the Calais-London stage of the 1911 Circuit of Europe air race. Dorando Pietri (1885-1942) Italian Athlete who controversially finished first in the marathon at the 1908 Summer Olympics in London but was subsequently disqualified – bold ink signature beneath a highly attractive pen and ink drawing honouring the Marathon Race of 24th July 1908 and featuring images of Windsor Castle (the starting point) and the stadium (the finishing point) as well as the English and Italian flags draped either side of the winner’s trophy.Sarah Bernhardt (1844-1923) French Actress – Ink signature and two additional lines of text in her hand, in French, 1904, on a page also signed by Leon Xaurof with a few additional words of shorthand and further signed by Eduard de Max (1869-1924) Romanian-born French Actor, Bernhardt’s leading man in many productions, with a few words in Italian in his hand, 1904. Boriani’s typed explanation to the signatures appears opposite, in part, ‘…Bernhardt, after a performance of “La Dame aux Camelias”, was apparently in a rather nervous state, and wrote the sentence….in characters which nobody has been able to decipher. When Signor Boriani asked her what it meant, she merely said “That is my language”. When Mr. Xaurof, the author of “His Highness the Prince” saw the contribution, he added some hieroglyphics of his own in shorthand. M. de Max….said that the contributions were not in writing at all, and added….”I also am a painter of pictures”’ OWING TO LIMITATIONS IMPOSED BY THE-SALEROOM WE ARE UNABLE TO DISPLAY THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION FOR THIS LOT - PLEASE CONTACT IAA Ltd DIRECTLY FOR A COMPLETE DESCRIPTION ’.
