Marc Chagall (Russian/French, 1887-1985). Printed by Mourlot, Paris. Published by Society of Friends of the National Marc Chagall Biblical Message Museum, Nice, with the angel blind stamp along the top center margin. Signed and dated 1977 lithograph poster depicting a portion of his work "The Song of Songs III" printed to publicize the National Biblical Message Museum in Japan. With text in French and Japanese.Lot Essay:Marc Chagall (born Moishe Shagal}) was a Russian-French artist of Belarusian Jewish origin. An early modernist, he was associated with several major artistic styles and created works in a wide range of artistic formats, including painting, drawings, book illustrations, stained glass, stage sets, ceramics, tapestries and fine art prints.Art critic Robert Hughes referred to Chagall as "the quintessential Jewish artist of the twentieth century" (though Chagall saw his work as "not the dream of one people but of all humanity"). According to art historian Michael J. Lewis, Chagall was considered to be "the last survivor of the first generation of European modernists". For decades, he "had also been respected as the world's pre-eminent Jewish artist". Using the medium of stained glass, he produced windows for the cathedrals of Reims and Metz, windows for the UN and the Art Institute of Chicago and the Jerusalem Windows in Israel. He also did large-scale paintings, including part of the ceiling of the Paris Opera.Before World War I, he travelled between Saint Petersburg, Paris, and Berlin. During this period he created his own mixture and style of modern art based on his idea of Eastern Europe and Jewish folk culture. He spent the wartime years in Soviet Belarus, becoming one of the country's most distinguished artists and a member of the modernist avant-garde, founding the Vitebsk Arts College before leaving again for Paris in 1923.He had two basic reputations, writes Lewis: as a pioneer of modernism and as a major Jewish artist. He experienced modernism's "golden age" in Paris, where "he synthesized the art forms of Cubism, Symbolism, and Fauvism, and the influence of Fauvism gave rise to Surrealism". Yet throughout these phases of his style "he remained most emphatically a Jewish artist, whose work was one long dreamy reverie of life in his native village of Vitebsk." "When Matisse dies," Pablo Picasso remarked in the 1950s, "Chagall will be the only painter left who understands what colour really is."Sight; height: 29 in x width: 19 in. Framed; height: 36 in x width: 25 1/4 in.Condition: No visible tears, creases, or losses. Light undulation throughout. The sheet is slightly toned.

A fine and rare second quarter 20th Century Swiss centre-seconds two-day marine chronometer with detent escapement by Paul Ditisheim, la Chaux-de-Fonds, number 130, the three tier box with brass corners and recessed handles opening to reveal the 10cms silvered dial with up and down subsidiary wind marker over the bold signature 'PAUL DITISHEIM, LA CHAUX-DE-FONDS' and further marked 'Grand Prix Paris 1900; Grand Prix Berne 1914, 'Maker TO THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT, HOLDER OF THE KEW AND TEDDINGTON RECORDS' and 'Maker TO THE UNITED STATES NAVY RECORD HOLDER NEUCHATEL OBSERVATORY 305 STATE PRIZES', the centre seconds hand reading against an outer Arabic scale marked in half-second increments, and enclosing the Roman and Arabic subsidiary time dial marked for hours and minutes, all framed by an angled sight ring, in a chromed bowl with integral winding key set to the underside, in chrome gimbals, the latter with a large hand-setting knob below the VI position, the lacquered movement signed in a rectangular reserve above 'CENTRAL SECOND MARINE CHRONOMETER seven swiss patents', on a cross-hatched background, the movement with a pair of circular plates mounted on the dialplate, united by turned pillars and with high beating balance wheel and detent escapement with blued steel spring and gold 'scape wheel in jewelled settings mounted on the backplate within a protective glazed cap, the three-arm balance bridge futher signed 'Guillaume Compensating Balance' and numbered 130, the outer box case with ivory plaque inscribed with maker's name, town and timepiece number, 18.5 x 18.5 x 20cms.Comparable literature:von Osterhausen: Paul Ditisheim Chronometrier, Antoine Simonin, 2003.Tony Mercer, Chronometer Makers of the World, NAG Press 1991Whitney, The Ship's Chronometer, AWI Press, 1985,von Bertele, Marine and Pocket Chronometers, Schiffer, 1991Gould, The Marine Chronometer, Its History and Development, ACC 1989.Notes: Ditisheim was a great pioneer in precision timekeeping in the early part of the last century. Mercer gives an excellent overview of the numerous prizes that were awarded to him. As well as making the smallest watch in the world for the Sultan of Oman, Ditisheim made huge improvements in the analysis and production of watch oils, investigated barometric compensation and wrote widely on other horological subjects and past makers. He was held in high esteem by his peers. Indeed, when Gould first published the standard work on chronometers in 1922, he included a picture of a very similar centre seconds chronometer in plate XXXVII as an example of modern chronometry with the following comments:"In closing this chapter, it may be of interest to give a short description of the new type of chronometer recently introduced by the firm of Paul Ditisheim, which contains a number of the devices just described.The machine, which is shown in Plate XXXVII, has, as will be noticed, a centre-seconds hand, the hours and minutes being shown on a subsidiary dial. The winding is affected by a permanently attached button at the bottom of the case, and mechanism is provided for setting the hour and minute hands in the same manner as those of a keyless watch. In addition, the balance and escapement are mounted so as to form a complete unit, and can at any time be detached (and if necessary, replaced by duplicates) without disturbing the remainder of the mechanism. The balance is of the "integral" type, with which M.Ditisheim's name has long been associated, and the escapement of the spring detent pattern, beating half seconds (although a lever escapement, beating fifths of a second, can be substituted). The machine has a gong-barrel and runs for 54 hours. experiments are, I understand, being directed towards providing later models with a barometric compensation, consisting of a moveable cap fitting over the balance.While, of course, extremely up-to-date and a very fine example of modern horological development, this design is, in a way, a complete compendium of the chronometer's history. It brings together Harrison's centre seconds hand and his provision for setting the hands, Kendall's and Cole's dials, Le Roy's going barrel, Barraud's attached key, Breguet's method of using interchangeable parts, Ulrich's plan of detachable escapement and balance, the escapements of Earnshaw and Mudge and Hutton's auxiliary. It supplies a convincing proof, if any were needed, that the development of the chronometer is by no means finished, and that while utilising to the full the knowledge of the present-day, much may also be gained from a study of the past."It is not known how many examples of these detent escapement chronometers were made by Ditisheim, but it would appear to be very few indeed. Number 230 is illustrated in Osterhausen p51, number 101 in Gould and number 112 in von Bertele.Self-declaration ivory reference NDRKD2P9

According to the records held by the British Geological Society the microscope was bought in 1936 presumably for Dr Phemister, who was recorded as having it in 1937. Dr. Phemister was appointed Official Petrographer in 1935, a post he held until he became Assistant Director in 1946. Dr James Phemister was a renowned geologist whose contributions to the field of earth sciences were significant. He was born in Scotland in 1903 and spent most of his life working as a geologist in the UK. Dr Phemister's expertise in the field of geology earned him a high reputation among his peers and the scientific community. Dr Phemister's career began at the University of Edinburgh, where he earned a degree in geology. He then went on to study at the University of Cambridge, where he obtained a PhD in 1928. After completing his studies, Dr Phemister joined the British Geological Survey, where he worked for over 30 years. During this time, he made significant contributions to the study of geology in the UK. Dr Phemister's work was not limited to the UK, however. He also worked on geological surveys in Africa and South America. In Africa, he worked on a geological mapping project in the Congo, where he discovered the presence of copper deposits. In South America, he worked on a project to map the geology of the Andes mountains, which helped to improve our understanding of the tectonic processes that shape mountain ranges. Dr Phemister was also an active member of the Geological Society of London, where he played an important role in the development of the society. He was elected a Fellow of the society in 1939 and served as its President from 1953 to 1955. During his tenure as President, Dr Phemister worked to increase the society's membership and promote the study of geology. Apart from his work with the Geological Society, Dr Phemister was also an accomplished author. He published several books on geology, including "The Geology of Central England" and "The Geology of the South Wales Coalfield." These books were instrumental in advancing our understanding of the geological history of these regions. Dr Phemister's contributions to geology and earth sciences were recognized by many scientific societies in his lifetime. He was awarded the Wollaston Medal by the Geological Society of London in 1956 for his contributions to the study of geology. He was also awarded the Lyell Medal by the same society in 1966 for his contributions to geological mapping. In conclusion, Dr James Phemister was a pioneering geologist whose contributions to the field of earth sciences were immense. His work on geological mapping and his involvement in geological surveys in Africa and South America helped to improve our understanding of the geology of these regions. His tenure as President of the Geological Society of London was marked by his efforts to promote the study of geology and increase the society's membership. Dr Phemister's legacy lives on through his numerous publications and his lasting impact on the field of geology. Peter Aubrey Sabine, (b.1924 - d.2022) was as a prominent British petrologist and mineralogist born in London in 1924. He graduated with a geology degree from Imperial College London in 1945 and joined the Geological Survey and Museum (GSM) as a Geologist. Early in his career, he helped to reorganize the Geological Museum's specimens and showcases, sparking his interest in igneous petrology. In 1951, he received his PhD for investigating the minor intrusions of the Assynt district in N.W. Highlands. He was later promoted to Chief Petrographer and set about modernizing the Petrographical Department. He realized that the polarizing microscope for the optical characterization of rocks and minerals had been overtaken by more rapid and versatile techniques. He acquired the first X-ray diffraction (XRD) equipment by the late 1950s, followed by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) equipment. By the mid-1960s, modern X-ray diffractometer and image analysis equipment were installed, making the Petrographical Department the best equipped and staffed laboratory in the GSM. Sabine conducted various petrological studies, including contact metamorphism of chalk by Tertiary dolerite intrusions, resulting in several seminal publications. He provided the first detailed petrographical description of the granite found on Rockall, a tiny Atlantic island, after the first landing by the Royal Navy in 1955. Sabine was the longest-standing member of the Mineralogical Society at the time of his death, having joined in 1945 and becoming Vice President of the Geological Society in 1966. In 1977, he became Chief Geochemist at the Gray's Inn Road office of the renamed British Geological Survey (BGS) and later returned to the Exhibition Road as Deputy Director. However, he retired at the end of 1984 when the BGS relocated its headquarters to a site near Nottingham. Sabine's legacy includes groundbreaking research and modernization in petrology and mineralogy.
