Henri-Pierre DANLOUX (Paris 1753-1809) « Portrait d’une mère en robe blanche et de son jeune fils » Huile sur toile Signée et datée « H.P Danloux 1800 » au milieu vers la droite 76,9 x 62,5 cm Portraitiste à succès dans la société française post-révolutionnaire, Henri-Pierre Danloux fut contraint de s’exiler en Angleterre. Notre tableau est représentatif de la production de l’artiste lors de son séjour à Londres et en Écosse entre 1791 et 1801. On y retrouve notamment l’influence de Sir Henry Raeburn (1756-1823), grand portraitiste écossais dont la peinture à la fois réaliste et libre est annonciatrice du romantisme. La tendresse qui se dégage de ce portrait de famille l’éloigne toutefois de la rigidité qui caractérise souvent les œuvres anglaises. Bibliographie : - R. PORTALIS, Henry Pierre Danloux : peintre de portraits, et son journal durant l’émigration, Paris : E. Rahir, 1910. - O.MESLAY, « Henry-Pierre Danloux (1753-1809), sa carrière avant l’exil en Angleterre », in Bulletin de la Société d’Histoire de l’Art Français, Paris, 2007 (année 2006), pp. 209-244

Le Grand duc André fut inscrit sur les listes du régiment à sa naissance, le 2 mai 1879. En 1898 il fut promu officier. En exil en France, il était président honoraire de l’Union des anciens du Régiment Izmaïlovski à partir de 1925. Стакан подносной c рокайльным орнаментом в русском стиле XVIII века. Преподнесен «Союзом Измайловцев » Великому Князю Андрею Владимировичу (1879-1956). Стакан с профилированным краем декорирован насыщенным рокайльным орнаментом с растительными мотивами и изображением четырех соколов, сидящих на стилизованных пьедесталах. Декор выполнен в стиле 18-го века литьем и высокорельефной чеканкой. В качестве днища стакана использован рубль 1738 года с профильным портретом Императрицы Анны Иоанновны (при которой в 1730 г. был учрежден Измайловский полк) работы Т. Лефкена (Уздеников 735. Биткин 234 R. 3 рубля по Петрову. Дьяков 101,19.).

DU MAURIER DAPHNE: (1907-1989) British Author. Lengthy, early A.L.S., Daphne, eight pages, 8vo, Cannon Hall, Hampstead, 1st December n.y., to Foy Quiller -Couch. Du Maurier writes a boldly penned letter in red fountain pen ink, for which she apologises ('Its not the effect of du Maurier cigarettes, but I cannot find any blue or black'), and continues 'Your letter was a wild success with me; but I'm so swollen headed because of the attentions paid to me coming to town from Fowey that I'm beginning to disbelieve in your own powers of royalty with the G. W. R. [Great Western Railway]. Not only was I surrounded by every porter in Cornwall, but the station master at Lostwithiel presented to me the flower in his button hole, exclaiming with a magnificent gesture - “The last rose of summer for you”. I was ushered from carriage to carriage (as soon as they filled up) by the ticket collector who enquired tenderly after “His Lordship” and the dining car attendant swept me into a first-class saloon! I am furiously beginning to doubt the advisability of socialism in our time.' Du Maurier further writes, in a somewhat intriguing tone, 'Yes, Mr. Hony is most mysterious. I had a letter from him saying “I perfectly derive your reason for departing” (!) and adding a sentence later “You will, I presume go abroad” !! Foy, what does he mean?? Does he insinuate that I really am Mrs. Hearn, and wish to escape justice, or does he infer that I am (in the words of Mrs Barker of Philleigh) “In Trouble”. As far as I am aware neither of these charges can be laid at my door. Anyway, if my name is bandied lightly in the streets of Fowey I hope you will produce the hell of the Royal, Bodmin, and say I was with you! I may wear strange dressing gowns but I am not, as yet, so poor as to become a lady of the town. Time, and the Daily Express will show of course….By-the-way I think sawing trees has improved my dancing!! Don't laugh. It probably makes me “sway from the hips” or something! Anyway, I was on a party the other night and received complements from the gentlemen present. One creature, a little gone in wine maybe, declared I was as “light as a feather”!' The author continues 'I've got a marvellous thing for changing in every night. Black evening trousers, cream satin shirt, and black velvet jacket! You can't beat that, princess. I rather fancy myself, and try to look like Shelley! I haven't had any Daily Express urges yet, and in spite of your suggestions I intend to keep the original person as a preventative' and concludes 'London is very rainy, and foggy, and cold. But I feel surprisingly cheerful', adding in a postscript, 'I've just read in the papers that Huntley + Palmers have produced a new biscuit - said to be amazing. Don't fail to tell your mother - to whom, incidentally, I send my sincere and loving homage.' A fascinating early letter. A couple of small, minor water stains to the final page, just affecting three words of text (which remain legible) but not the signature, otherwise VG Foy Quiller-Couch - daughter of British writer Arthur Quiller-Couch (1863-1944), and a life-long friend of Du Maurier. Indeed, Du Maurier was accompanied by Foy Quiller-Couch when she became inspired with the storyline for her novel Jamaica Inn. Some years previously the two ladies were staying at Jamaica Inn and went riding on Bodmin Moor. They became lost in bad weather conditions and apparently sheltered for some time in a derelict cottage on the moor but were eventually led back to Jamaica Inn by their horses. The present letter, written from Cannon Hall where the young Du Maurier grew up after her father purchased the property in 1916, would appear to date from the early 1930s, around the time that her first novel, A Loving Spirit was published (February 1931) to modest success.

PHILBY KIM: (1912-1988) British Intelligence Officer, a Double Agent and member of the spy ring known as the Cambridge Five. Philby defected to the Soviet Union in 1963. T.L.S., H. A. R. Philby, one page, 8vo, Moscow, 24th April n.y., to Mr. Braybrooke. Philby apologises for the delay in replying to his correspondent's letter about Ackerley and remarks that he 'can be of virtually no help to you' explaining 'My only correspondence with him was of a purely formal nature in the 50's, when I was an occasional book reviewer for The Listener. It all went into the waste paper basket as soon as I had banked my cheque.' Philby further writes 'I have no objection to your quoting from any letters I sent your son-in-law, although I cannot remember what I said and cannot feel that what I said would be worth quotation anyway. Perhaps, if you did quote me, you would make it clear that the remarks were off-the-cuff' and in concluding states 'Your news of John's tonguing-and-grooving was the first I had heard from him for about two years. He is an idle young rascal when it comes to letter writing, but I am not much better myself. If you run into him again, perhaps you would give him my love and recriminations, and tell him to propose himself for a visit to Moscow some day -- giving two or three months notice, as I am travelling an awful lot.' Rare. The text is a little light, although perfectly legible, and there are some heavy surface creases, largely to the edges. G

PHILBY KIM: (1912-1988) British Intelligence Officer, a Double Agent and member of the spy ring known as the Cambridge Five. Philby defected to the Soviet Union in 1963. T.L.S., H. A. R. Philby, one page, 8vo, Moscow, 26th February n.y. (annotated 1969 in pencil in another hand), to [Brian] Rooney ('My dear Rooney'). Philby announces 'Here I am bothering you again!' and continues 'This time, it is at John's specific request. He wrote me a short and uninformative note from Spain, suggesting that I should reply through you, as he thought that a Moscow postmark might provoke the curiosity of the Spaniards. You seem to have been very kind to John in many ways; so, if you get fed up with acting as a go-between, don't hesitate to let me know. Meanwhile, I wonder whether you would pass him the enclosed?' (no longer present). Philby further states 'I was intrigued by EMF's comment on JRA's book. Was he outraged by the author's rather acidly anti-parental attitude? Or was he, as a member of the same club, provoked by the revelation of its practices? Actually, I thought it was the weakest chapter in the book - - and very much too long.' In concluding he writes 'I am sorry to hear about Davis-Poynter's row with the Litsupp. I hope it wasn't anything to do with me. Perhaps John will let me know about the snide remarks in the Londoner's Diary; I don't get the Standard here. So many thanks for your kindness.' Rare.
