Greene (Graham) An archive of correspondence with Peter Duffell, comprising: 3 A.L.s. and 18 T.L.s. from Greene, 2 T.L.s. dictated by Greene and signed in absence (?by his sister and secretary Elisabeth Dennys), 2 T.L.s. from Elisabeth Dennys, 3 T.L.s. from Josephine Reid and 8 copies of typed letters from Duffell to Greene, together 48pp., including Greene discussing Duffell's adaptation of England Made Me "I thought the performances of Finch, Ackland and Hordern were first rate and the camera work excellent ... thank you so much for staying so faithfully close to my story", the possibility of Duffell directing The Honorary Consul, along with a number of suggested script changes for the same, Greene's casting preferences for the film "I've no objection to Robert Redford if you have to have an American", "Plarr will make or break the film... one doesn't want a really burnt out character like [Richard] Burton who anyway is too old. Ideally I want Jack Nicholson", Greene's opinions on action in films "action can be psychological and the better for that. I suspect audiences will soon tire of the tomato sauce. One of the good things about The Conversation was that one could say in their terms that the film lacked action - to disguise this there had to be one scene of tomato sauce and one in bed", the possibility of Otto Preminger making Honorary Consul "I was glad that Preminger had got Stoppard but I am unhappy about Preminger. What I rather hope is that he and Stoppard find it impossible to get on together and that Preminger eventually abandons the idea. I would much prefer the combination of Losey and Pinter who are both very keen", Vienne after the war "the Vienna of The Third Man had already disappeared to a great extent when I went back with Carol Reed three months after I had done the story... I suppose you poor man playing the zither would have been unable to play The Third Man tune without paying a large fee to Karas" and an attempted adaptation of Leo Perutz's Marquis of Bolibar, folds, v.s., 1973-85.⁂ A superb archive that details the personal and professional relationship between the two men, initiated by Greene in writing to the director to congratulate him on his adaptation of England Made Me (a film which Greene maintained was the only adaptation of his work that he admired). Greene and Duffell then attempted to collaborate on two new projects: The Honorary Consul and an adaptation of The Marquis of Bolivar (see next lot).

His creativity and quality of workmanship, led him to become one of the most sought-after jewellers in Europe and thus establish a loyal and prestigious clientele. The history of Chaumet has been entwined with the History of France, with Nitot and his son, Francois Regnault Nitot becoming the official jeweller to Napoleon during the Consulate and the Empire. Napoleon's marriage to Joséphine, then to Marie-Louise of Habsburg-Lorraine, Queen Marie-Antoinette's great-niece, resulted in some impressive commissions for Chaumet. Following the fall of the Empire, Nitot's successors Jean-Baptiste Fossin and his son, Jules dedicated themselves to romantic jewellery inspired by the decorative arts of the Italian Renaissance and of the French 17th-century.In 1848, Jules Fossin set up a London branch in partnership with J.V., Morel, assisted by his son Prosper. On his return to Paris in 1954, Prosper Morel joined Jules Fossin whom he succeeded in 1868. Prospers Morels daughter married Joeseph Chaumet in 1875. With exceptional creativity and inspired by the re-enchantment of nature, Joseph Chaumet came to be recognised as an undisputed master of the Belle Époque. In 1889, Chaumet took over the company and gave his name to the House.In the 1920’s Chaumets jewellery styles became more geometric in line, following art deco style, characterised by strong contrasts in colours and materials, the use of semi-precious stones, black and white, as well as exotic inspirations. The 1930s saw Chaumet becoming more feminine, continuing its style while exploring a certain modernity that echoed fine Parisian taste, ever in search of novelty and the avant-garde. In 1970, gold jewellery, sometimes set with hardstone, bronze or mother-of-pearl, was on offer in a new boutique concept.Chaumet’s legacy of bucolic beauty is a deep well of inspiration that bridges past and present designs. Today, the bees share Chaumet's garden-inspired Jardins Collection with the spider, weaving its perilous web, playing their game of amorous hide-and-seek. The Hortensia collections invite us into a delicate garden filled with vibrant colour, the Bee my love collection, including the diamond bee and the honeycomb motif celebrate an imperial pledge of love and the Attrape Moi collection once again highlights the bee. For more than 230 years Chaumet’s excellence in high Jewellery has been passed down through generations of jewellers. Diamonds and precious stones, carefully selected for their exceptional clarity and brilliance, are sculpted into round, cushion, oval, emerald or the House’s signature pear-shaped cut and then the jewellers, stone setters, polishers and engravers give life to the jewels, exhibited in magnificent pieces of jewellery.
