Kennedy, John F., Jr. (1960-1999). "John John"-- Son of President John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Lee Bouvier Kennedy, American socialite and magazine publisher. Autograph Book Signed "John Kennedy Jr 1969" in black ink. An Ex-Libris St. Francis Xavier Library of Brooklyn copy of the The News' "The Torch is Passed - Associated Press Story of The Death of A President", with a typewritten copy of the famous "Special Delivery From Heaven" poem by Barbara Jones taped down to the back inside cover. Beneath is the inscription in black ink: "As the Sun may / Shine, I will Always / Remember you Dad / John Kennedy Jr / 1969". The typewritten poem here differs slightly from the published version of the poem - ampersand and "I'll" instead of "I look down and smile…" Barbara Jones, a 15-year-old high school sophomore in Yonkers, NY, wrote the poem in honor of JFK soon after his assassination, it was picked up and reprinted in newspapers across the U.S. and reproduced as plaques and numerous other tributes. The signature, which would have been penned when John F. Kennedy, Jr. was nine, differs from other observed signatures, but all of those differ from each other, as JFK, Jr. frequently varied his signature. While the autograph cannot be verified, the formation of the capital letters "J" and "K" share similarities with some of his other signatures. The book has a cracked spine and is Good; the autograph Fine. SOLD AS IS, NO RETURNS.

An unusual George III weight-driven hooded wall clock with automaton Unsigned, probably for the Chinese market, late 18th century The posted countwheel bell striking movement with verge escapement and square section corner posts, the rear of the movement fitted with secondary countwheel for operation of the automaton whilst the clock strikes via a mechanism mounted within the right-hand side of the frame, the 6.5 inch arched dial plate applied with square enamel panel centred with a circular white Roman numeral dial with Arabic quarters within blue ground green leafy spray decorated enamel to spandrels, the arch painted with a landscape incorporating shallow-arch niche enclosing portrait of gentleman in a red jacket which moves aside to now reveal a portrait bust of a Chinese courtier, the whole supported on ball turned feet onto cavetto moulded platform supported from a backboard and fitted with brass feet to resemble a table clock, now with break-arch ebonised hood with brass fillet edged arch-glazed front aperture (with restoration), 34cm (13.5cm) high. The dial of the current lot, with relatively plain Roman numeral centre within tight foliate decorated enamel spandrels incorporating `bright-cut` leaf decoration, is typical of the type often seen on clocks made by leading London makers for export to China. Indeed these features share stylistic similarities to those seen on a more elaborate clock by Perigal sold at Christies, King Street in their sale of MAGNIFICENT CLOCKS 15th September 2004 (lot 16), as well as another by Perigal offered in the same rooms sale of Important Clocks 13th December 2000 (lot 84). The automata is also a feature that would have appealed to the Chinese market and can perhaps be best described as an early English version of the cuckoo automaton seen on later Black Forest clocks.

A fine and well documented William and Mary brass lantern clock Thomas Veale, Chew Magna, dated (16)92 The posted countwheel bell-striking movement with verge escapement and short bob pendulum swinging outside the frame to the rear, the dial with central vestigial alarm disc concealing an area of practice engraving with initials TV above 92 and further inscribed Clean`d Feb. 19, `3, `94 within symmetrical foliate tulip engraved infill and with pierced brass hand within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised fleur-de-lys half hour markers, the angles engraved with bands of concentric brickwork, the `Bristol` frame with one-piece column turned corner posts beneath lion and unicorn armorial engraved and pierced frets, integral multi-knopped tall vase-and-cover turned finials and domed bell bearer, with brass side doors, iron backplate and hanging hoop above spurs to rear, on tall disc-knopped ball feet, 40cm (15.75ins) high. Thomas Veale`s dates are collated in Loomes Brian Lantern Clocks & Their Makers page 307 where it is noted that; - `Bellchambers records his freedom at Bristol in 1652. Moore records him as being of Bristol in 1660 when he was a bondsman to a marriage. George White records his marriage at Chew Magna 1656 to Charity Plaister. He was working to at least 1697. He left sons John and James, but no clocks are yet recorded by them`. The current lot utilises frame castings that were favoured by the Chew Valley school of clockmakers with the earliest surviving dated example made by Edward Webb of Chew Stoke in 1676 (private collection). Several other clocks by Webb are known with dates ranging from 1678-93, with all of the documented examples sharing the same frame castings. These castings were also used by Edward Bilbie of Chew Stoke (who is believed to have succeeded Edward Webb in around 1695) for his earlier lantern clocks, long after Bristol makers had tended to opt for castings more closely related to London work of the period. The on-going use of this pattern of frame suggests that they were cast locally, perhaps initially by Edward Webb at his foundry in Chew Stoke (which was just over a mile from Thomas Veale`s home at Denny Farm, Chew Magna), then by the Bilbie family after Webb`s death in 1694. Of Thomas Veale five lantern clocks are documented, with all but one dated and made within the timespan 1692-7. All these examples share the same basic frame castings and are signed with the initials TV either behind the alarm disc or chapter ring. These examples can be found and compared in the following sources; White, George English Lantern Clocks page 230 fig. V/35 (undated example), page 231 figs. V/36 (the current lot) and V/38 (dated `97 -detail of dial only). Bruce, Bill and Hooper, John EARLY ENGLISH LANTERN CLOCKS 1615-1700 page 50 (dated 1692). Darken, Jeff and Hooper John English 30 Hour Clocks page 92 figs. 2/66 and 2/67 (dated `95). All of the four dated examples share similar engraving executed with scrolling foliage issuing from a central point at the base of the dial centre, continuing symmetrically around the alarm disc and terminating with a central flowerhead motif at the top. The angles are decorated with the same concentric brickwork infill. The undated example (White, George English Lantern Clocks page 230 fig. V/35) departs a little from the above similarities by incorporating larger more abstract scroll-work towards the lower margin of the dial centre and terminates with a female mask at twelve o`clock. It is perhaps interesting to compare this example with those made by Edward Webb during the 1680`s which tend exhibit the same basic design within the engraving; which was strongly influenced by the work of Thomas Brown of Bristol during the 1650`s (see White, George English Lantern Clocks page 232). From this observation it would be perhaps reasonable to suggest that the undated example is probably the earliest surviving example of his work and may pre-date 1680. The current lot also exhibits an unusual insight into clock ownership during the 17th century. The dial centre is inscribed clean`d Feb.19, `3, `94 indicating that it was common practice at this time to send a clock back to the maker for cleaning on an annual basis. This detail adds yet further interest to what is a fine and original well documented example of a 17th century Chew Valley lantern clock.

In the Style of Li Tang (1066-1150): Fisherman under Snow-Covered Bamboo, Hanging scroll, ink and color on silk, unsigned, four seals; titled and attributed to Li Tang to the right mount, the inscription dated 1524. Ming Dynasty, 38 x 18 inches (96.5 x 45.5 cm), Provenance: Senator Theodore Francis Green (1867-1966), Rhode Island, and thence by descent within the family. This painting is an example of the Zhe School`s style of Song Dynasty painting. Zhe School was a painting circle formed in the 15th Century based in the Zhejiang area. Zhe School painting masters include Dai Jin (1388-1462) and Wu Wei (1459-1508). The painting style mainly developed from the Southern Song and Yuan Dynasty traditions, but with a free, quick and succinct manner.Since paintings of the Zhe School share a similar style to their Song and Yuan counterparts, they were at times attributed wrongly to the Song and Yuan masters. One example is "Raising a Cup to the Moon in Jest," of the National Palace Museum,Taipei. The painting had long been considered a work by the Southern Song artist Ma Yuan (c. 1160-1225) up till the 1970s, recent scholars have determined that painting, and the hidden seal mark, belongs to Zhong Li (active late 15th Century).Although this painting was attributed to the Song dynasty painter Li Tang (1066-1150), the free and unrestrained brush works indicate this painting to be by a Zhe school painter in the Ming Dynasty. Starting Price: $1000
