MASHOne Sheet (27" X 41"); First ReleaseVery Fine- on Linen 20th Century Fox, 1970Offered here is the very rare first release poster, known as the "Gives a Damn style," which was released prior to the more commonly seen "Review"-style one sheet. The tag like, "Mash Gives a Damn," is a response to the Ratings Administration that famously took issue with the frequency with which the word "damn" was used in the movie. This very scarce first release poster has been professionally linen mounted with sporadic airbrushing to the white backgrounds.Based on Richard Hooker's 1968 novel, MASH: A Novel About Three Army Doctors, and inspiring in turn the award-winning TV series that ran from 1972 until 1983, this film, directed by Robert Altman and written by formerly blacklisted screenwriter and member of the "Hollywood Ten," Ring Lardner, Jr., features a stunning cast, including Donald Sutherland, Tom Skerrit, Elliot Gould, Robert Duvall, Sally Kellerman, Rene Auberjonois, and Gary Burghoff (the only actor to appear in both the movie and on the TV series), launching the careers of many involved. Nominated for five Academy Awards (it won Best Screenplay and the Palm d'Or at Cannes). This lot will be auctioned on Thursday, December 7th. The auction will begin at 9:30am PST and lots are sold sequentially via live auctioneer; tune in to the live streaming broadcast on auction day to follow the pace. Note other lots in the auction may close on December 8th.

EMERALD RING, CIRCA 1930The emerald cabochon, weighing 7.04 carats, ring size O½Footnotes:Provenance:Emerald Joyce Henrietta Brittain-Jones née Wallach (1902-1974);Thence by descentLots 1 - 11 belonged to Emerald Joyce Henrietta Brittain Jones née Wallach. Joyce was born in Allahabad, Utter Pradesh, India. Her father, William Wallach, was a Barrister in India. On 19th January 1924, she married Captain Jack Brittain Jones (1899-1975) of the Black Watch (1st Battalion), at a Society wedding at Middle Temple Church in London. In 1927, the couple had a daughter, Pauleen Victoria. By 1931, Jack and his family were living in India where Jack was Aide-de-Camp to Lord Willingdon, Viceroy of India.In 1931, George II of Greece (1890-1947) visited India where he met Jack and Joyce. From 1934, the correspondence from Joyce to George is loving and affectionate, clearly indicating that a deep and meaningful personal relationship had developed between them. In 1935, George II was divorced by his estranged wife, Princess Elisabeth of Romania (1894-1956), who cited desertion. Joyce and Jack also divorced in 1935, citing Jack's adultery. George II had become King of Greece in 1922, but in 1924 Greece declared itself a Republic, and the monarchy was abolished. Eventually the Greek monarchy was restored in 1935 so George returned as King. Joyce and the King then began to lead a very private life together in Greece, often at the Tatoi Palace, the Royal family's summer residence, situated thirty miles from Athens, where George was able to indulge his love of farming. Joyce reportedly knitted, read and sat quietly. She was well-liked by George's sister-in-law, Katherine, and regarded as one of the family. It is reported that Joyce refused to marry George II because she believed that a morganatic marriage, like that of Edward VIII and Mrs Simpson (also divorced), would be damaging to George's position as monarch. In 1941, Germany occupied Greece and George fled to Crete, facing many dangers including his potential capture. A British destroyer transported him into exile in Cairo, Egypt. Later in 1943, Joyce accompanied George to the United States of America as his quiet and inconspicuous companion. Joyce also accompanied George on a visit to South Africa. They had then moved to London, where Joyce engaged in war work as a Fire Warden. Joyce was a particular friend of Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent who was a Greek Princess by birth and a British Princess by marriage to Prince George, Duke of Kent. In 1946, a referendum restored the monarchy, and George II again returned to Greece as King. He desperately wanted Joyce to accompany him to Greece and put pressure on the British Government to permit her to join him. However, the Government was concerned to avoid political difficulties in Greece, and refused permission. Princess Katherine suggested that Joyce could live in Greece as her lady in waiting. Sadly, whilst waiting for a resolution and missing each other, George II died of a heart attack in his office in the Royal Palace in Athens and was buried at Tatoi Palace.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Lot 73

DIAMOND SINGLE-STONE RING, 19TH CENTURYThe Peruzzi-cut diamond, weighing 6.56 carats, mounted in silver and gold, ring size IFootnotes:The first brilliant-cut diamonds were introduced during the mid-17th century. This new style of cutting was known as the 'Mazarin'. The Mazarin-cut featured seventeen facets on the crown and the resulting fire and brilliance was incomparably better than the earlier rose-cut had achieved. It is largely agreed that Vincenzo Peruzzi, a diamond cutter from Venice, was the first person to cut a diamond with 56 facets, a table, and a culet, for a total of 58 facets. The resulting 'Peruzzi-cut' significantly increased the fire and brilliance previously achieved in the 'Mazarin-cut'. Peruzzi-cuts are exceedingly difficult to find because they were only made for about 20 years during the late 19th century. For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
