CARDEW, GLORIA. GUILD OF WOMEN-BINDERS A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM, CIRCA 1900published J.M Dent & Co., London 1895, with plates illustrated by R. Anning Bell and hand-coloured by Gloria Cardew, bound in calf, probably by the Guild of Women-Binders, the cover worked in relief with the figure of Puck and other fairies, bears paper label pasted to the interior and bearing inscription THE ILLUSTRATIONS IN THIS BOOK WERE COLOURED BY HAND BY MISS GLORIA CARDEWFootnote: Literature: Kaplan, Wendy (ed.) Scotland Creates: 5000 Years of Art and Design, Weidenfeld & Nicholson 1990, pp.152-3, fig 10.3 where a book bound by Annie S Macdonald is illustrated Note: Although Gloria Cardew was not a bookbinder, “many books coloured by her were bound by members of the Guild” (Tidcombe, p. 126). This is largely due to Frank Karslake (1851-1920), who acted as an agent of hers in 1898 (IBIS Journal, 2014, p. 75). Cardew was a prolific hand-colourist of book illustration and often worked for the Guild, as well as the Kelmscott and Vale Presses. Little is known of her and it was thought that her name was a pseudonym, although her photograph was published in the 1898 Guild of Women-Binders exhibition catalogue of 1898. Karslake established the Guild of Women-Binders in May 1898 at 61, Charing Cross Road, London in the same building as his other bindery, The Hampstead Bindery. The bindery produced lavishly-bound books in the highest quality material and took on many different binders, such as Annie S. MacDonald, Jessie McGibbon, Phoebe Traquair, Florence de Rheims, and Karslake’s two daughters, Constance & Olive Karslake. A similar binding held in the National Library of Scotland by Annie S. Macdonald (1849-1924) shows the same technique as the current example in moulded natural morocco. Macdonald, a friend of Traquair re-introduced the craft of artistic bookbinding in Edinburgh in the mid-1890s and she, Traquair and others were affiliated with not only to the new Edinburgh Arts and Crafts Club but to the Guild of Women-Binders from 1898. The subject of the current lot is based on the painting Puck Fleeing before the Dawn by David Scott (1806-1849), currently held in the National Gallery of Scotland (NG 992).

Offered for public sale is this immensely rare and important Hudson Bay Flintlock musket / rifle from Northern Cheyenne warrior and chief, Red Horse aka Medicine Wolf. The flintlock rifle has been examined and attributed to have been used by Red Horse at the Battle of the Little Bighorn in circa 1876. Red Horse, aka Medicine Wolf, was a Northern Cheyenne Native American Indian being a great warrior and chief. He was elected to the Council of 44 Chiefs and belonged to the special Mirror Society along with fellow Northern Cheyenne Chief Lame White Man, the mirror on the stock indicates his membership as well. Red Horse fought at the Battle of the Little Bighorn, also referred to as Custer’s Last Stand and the Battle of the Greasy Grass. The rifle is believed to have been repaired by Good Hand following Two Moon’s request to Crazy Horse with help in repairing some of the Cheyenne weapons. Red Horse later surrendered with Crazy Horse under the name Medicine Wolf, along with other Northern Cheyenne including Chief Wolf and Kills Many. A copy of the Crazy Horse Surrender Ledger (which was edited by Thomas R. Buecker and R. Eli Paul from the Nebraska State Historical Society Lincoln, Nebraska) is shown with Medicine Wolf’s name highlighted. The men were later transferred to the Cheyenne Reservation in Montana and Red Horse was given the Christian name, George. He attended the 1926 reunion at the Little Bighorn Battlefield. The rifle musket was examined by Wendell Grangaard from The Guns of History, Inc in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and found to be marked in Lakota Togia language. On the right side behind the lock plate shows a repair which is marked in Togia Good Hand and below Red Horse. On the right butt stock shows another signature of Red Horse Chief, the inlaid mirror from the Mirror Society and another Red Horse mark. On the left side of the butt stock the rifle is marked Red Horse Chief / Wolf Medicine and Red Horse. Overall, this is a Hudson Bay Flintlock musket / rifle which has been traded to the Northern Cheyenne. The rifle shows the distinctive brass serpent side plate under the parfleche rawhide wrappings along with faint stampings on the lock plate and barrel. The barrel is the correct part octagonal part round incised example with flintlock action and large trigger guard. The Northwest Trade Hudson Bay Trade gun is truly an iconic piece of the early western expansion and Indian Wars era with such prominent Indians as Sitting Bull being known to carry examples nearly identical to the piece offered in this lot. The firearm has wonderful patina and comes with the documentation and paperwork in regard to the historic provenance from Wendell Grangaard. Provenance: From a fine Eastern Montana American Indian Collection. The piece also comes with an original mid-1800’s Buffalo horn powder horn which is beautifully adorned with original brass trade tacks in two bands, with a carved wood cap, Indian tanned hide tie strap and red ocher mineral pigment dye painted surface, a truly amazing addition. Hudson Bay Trade rifles in Flintlock and Percussion were known to have been used during the Indian Wars and the Battle of the Little Bighorn due to the lack of available ammunition for repeating cartridge rifles. The rifle is an antique and does not require a background check. Measures overall 37.25”L.
For your consideration is a very early Civil War era Sharps New Model 1863 .52 Caliber Percussion Saddle Ring Carbine, serial number C,25227. One of the most popular and successful of the cavalry carbines was the Sharps breech loader. Capable of firing a grooved bullet in a combustible black powder loaded paper cartridge with automatic paper cap or single loaded with lead slug with loose powder behind and ignited by a percussion cap, the Sharps gained a rapid reputation as a reliable, accurate, powerful and fast firing weapon. Troops armed with single shot muzzle loading muskets were no match for the new breech loaders designed by Christian Sharps. After the Civil War many of these battle proven weapons went with their original owners to the western frontier where they were used for general self-protection, big game, and buffalo hunting. Most of the New Model Sharps rifles and carbines were later converted to fire the standard .50-70 metallic cartridge and reissued for Indian War use. This example shows Civil War usage yet remains in a remarkable state of preservation overall. The round 22” barrel retains the original blue and shows a naturally thinning finish with a desirable plum patina. The barrel is fitted with its original “R. S. LAWRENCE, PATENTED FEB. 15TH, 1859” marked ladder rear sight with slide intact. It also retains the correct marking “C. SHARPS PATENT” over “SEPT. 12TH, 1848” on the left side of the receiver. The left side barrel flat just ahead of the receiver also retains the sharp “E.A.W.” tiny inspector stamping. The lock plate on the right side of the receiver retains a Lawrence 1859 patent markings plus the C. Sharps 1852 patent markings. This wonderful condition carbine displays a lovely mottled gray/brown patina on the receiver and even retains traces of original case color under the hammer and in the most protected areas. All metal parts show that they have never been cleaned or restored. The forend and butt stock show only light wear and retain a tight wood to metal fit. The sling bar is intact. Some screws and the rotating breech block removal pin on the right side of the receiver still retain some fire blue. The stock is also highly decorated in brass tacks. The left side of the stock features a circular tack pattern and the right shows a detailed diamond pattern. This firearm qualifies as an Antique, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.
