Duchamp originally issued the first impression in an edition of 30 in 1924, and included a third edition in The Box in a Valise in 1941 (see Schwarz ibid. p. 511, no. 311). In 1924 Duchamp decided to try and raise money for a system he had developed for gambling at roulette by issuing bonds for 500 francs at 20% interest. Of the 30 bonds he originally printed, he only managed to sell two to friends - Jacques Doucet, the noted fashion designer and collector, and the painter Marie Laurencin. The system was a failure, Doucet was only repaid 100 francs and Laurencin nothing. The present example is from Duchamp's second edition issued in 1938. The portrait on the bond is from a photo by Man Ray of Duchamp covered in shaving soap.

The Victory Medal awarded to Private T. E. Dalton, Canadian Army Medical Corps, who was awarded the Military Medal aged 47 years - possibly the only Etonian to receive the M.M. Victory Medal 1914-19 (524873 Pte. T. E. Dalton C.A.M.C.) good very fine £60-£80 --- M.M. London Gazette 3 July 1919. Thomas Edmonstone Dalton was born in Eton, on 30 September 1872, the son of Thomas Dalton, Clerk of Holy Orders and Senior Mathematics Master at Eton College, and was educated at Eton and later Trinity College, Cambridge, graduating B.A. (1895) and M.A. (1901). Taking employment as a schoolmaster, the Eton School List later notes him as headmaster of a preparatory school in Tettenhall, Staffordshire. This was most likely Tettenhall College Preparatory School which specialised in educating the sons of churchmen. Despite his high standing at such a young age, Dalton emigrated to Canada around 1901 and was married on 15 August 1910. He attested for the 62nd Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force in January 1915, but military life proved in marked contrast to that of a private school teacher. His C.E.F. Service Record makes plain: ‘Not likely to become an efficient soldier.’ Discharged at Vancouver on 15 December 1915, Dalton re-attested for the 138th Battalion, but was released for a second time on 17 April 1916 in consequence of liquor. His C.E.F. Service Record further notes his character as ‘bad’, adding insult to injury with a charge of 23 cents for the loss of a pair of socks. With grim perseverance, Dalton attested for a third time, this time for the Canadian Army Medical Corps. Sent to France as a reinforcement on 11 September 1916, he is mentioned in Stretcher Bearers at the Double: History of the Fifth Field Ambulance: ‘Do you remember those red-letter days on which Tommy Dalton received his periodical remittance check - when he used to collect his cronies, Billy Brown, Horace McKillop, Tommy Hawkey, et al., and adjourn to the nearest estaminet until the money was all gone?’ Admitted to his own Field Ambulance with bronchitis in the winter of 1916, Dalton was fortunate to escape with his life at Passchendaele: ‘States shell burst right beside him causing deafness which has remained’. Awarded the Military Medal, he later returned to Canada and was demobilised at Quebec on 1 July 1919. He died at Lavington, North Okanagan, British Columbia, on 15 May 1929.

(Satire.) Alfred Bunn: 'A Word with Punch', London, Published at 60 St. Martin's Lane, Charing Cross, [1847], "No. 1, - (to be continued, if necessary.)" All ever published. 12pp, engraved illustrations throughout. A satire on the principal contributors of the periodical 'Punch', G.A. À Beckett, Douglas Jerrold and Mark Lemon, with extracts from their writings. Punch’s first star writer, Douglas Jerrold, was nicknamed “the Little Wasp” for his stinging humor and slight frame. In 1843, he began skewering the flamboyant theatrical impresario Alfred Bunn (1796-1860) whom he called “the Poet Bunn” for his supposed literary pretensions. Jerrold never explained why Bunn was chosen, but for four years Punch ridiculed his productions, his management of Drury Lane and Covent Garden theatres and, especially, his 1846 breach-of-contract suit against soprano Jenny Lind, the “Swedish Nightingale.” In retaliation, a fed up Bunn met with editor Albert Smith and writer Shirley Brooks, who had their own quarrels with Punch, and together with George Augustus Sala, they created a twelve-page “squib” that turned the tables on Bunn’s chief tormentors at the magazine: Jerrold, editor Mark Lemon and writer Gilbert á Beckett. On the back, a parody of the famous Warren’s Blacking ad shows Lemon reflected as an ass; another ad offers old issues of Punch “in any quantity, and at any price, on the premises.” Inside are several columns of Punch-like anecdotes, puns and poems, but the heart is Bunn’s seven-page takedown of Jerrold, Lemon and á Beckett, called “Wronghead,” “Thickhead” and “Sleekhead” respectively. With relish and in detail, he exhumes their many theatrical flops, reprints their favor-begging correspondence and nit-picks their verse for faulty images, a blood sport back then. After all that, speaking directly to Punch, he warns: “In carrying out the purport of this little squib, I have confined myself … to matters of a literary nature…. Your puppets, who have assailed, ridiculed and caricatured me for years, without any reason whatever, will not … abandon this branch of their trade now that I have given them reason…. In that case, I am prepared to pay back any compliment I receive with the highest rate of interest allowed by law, and shall let you, and perhaps them, into a secret or two worth knowing.” The response from Punch was … silence, at least in print, though there were reports of staff being dispatched to buy up all the copies of “A Word with Punch” they could locate. The attacks on Bunn ceased immediately and were never renewed, and the “secret or two” he claimed to know stayed secret; one Punch biographer called it “the only defeat of its kind in the magazine’s history.” As a bonus, two months later the courts ruled for Bunn against Jenny Lind, who had to pay him £2,000 damages. Very scarce. Bound together with 'An Account of the Tradesmen's Tokens of Essex', Lowestoft, Samuel Tymms, 1868, 28pp, and Lewis Nockall Cottingham, Architect: 'Some Account of an Ancient Tome...Discovered at Rochester Cathedral 1825', London, J.
