* Britten (Benjamin, 1913-1976). English composer. An important series of 8 Autograph Letters Signed, ‘Ben’, undated except one dated 24 January 1969, all to Ken [The Reverend Kenneth Sherlock], the one dated letter on Red House, Aldeburgh, Suffolk, headed paper, a somewhat philosophical letter about Russia, the Russian people and the human spirit generally and further mentioning a forthcoming tour of Germany and Austria. 2 pages, slightly split along lower fold, oblong 8vo, the others on personalised correspondence cards, two concerning Curlew River, ‘…It was wonderful being able to do Curlew River in your wonderful church… I’m just off to Holland, after having whizzed up north with Rostropovich…’; ‘…It is lovely that Curlew River can be back when(?) it belongs in 1965!’, the next card mentioning The Prodigal Son, ‘… All goes well here now – only a lot of patience is needed! Don’t worry – somehow there will be a Prodigal Son in Orford Church in time!…’; thanking Sherlock for his support, ’…It is always a real joy for us to come and work in Orford Church – not least because of your own unfailing kindness and deep understanding of what we are trying to do…’; ‘Peter and I are just off to USSR via London for a month or so… but Stephen R can in the meantime give you all our proposals for next year’s Festival at Orford…’; ‘… I am here for a week or so (before going off to Helsinki, + to USSR again)…’; ‘What a wonderful lot of flowers – how cheering to be reminded that spring and health will not be far away! I was very touched by them…’, all oblong 8voQty: (8)Footnote: This interesting correspondence details Britten’s collaboration with The Reverend Kenneth Sherlock (1901-1990), who was rector of St Bartholomew’s Church, Orford in Woodbridge, Suffolk, where all three Parables for Church Performance, Curlew River, The Prodigal Son and The Burning Fiery Furnace were performed. Britten is very warm in tone to Sherlock and, in a number of letters, Britten alludes to his declining health, which continued to deteriorate until his death in 1976. This archive is not included in the Collected Letters, Volume 6 (1966-1976), edited by Philip Reed & Mervyn Cooke) and is therefore apparently unpublished.

BEN EINE (London, 1970)."All is Fair in Art and War", 2016.Mixed media on canvas (acrylic and aerosol).Unique piece.Signed, dated and titled on the back.Measurements: 79,5 x 79 ,5 cm; 85 x 85 cm (frame) .London-born Ben Eine is one of the world's most successful lettering artists and is considered a pioneer in the exploration of contemporary typography art. Originally a graffiti writer, Eine began his career over 30 years ago, leaving his first tag all over London before developing his distinctive typographic style. Eine began painting huge, bright, colorful letters on shutters all over East London, creating beautifully executed forms with a relentless "graffiti mentality," painting over sixty shutters in a couple of months. These imposing and attractive, yet unattributed, anonymously painted letters stood out from the usual tags and dubbings seen on the streets. They caught the public's attention and were instrumental in the rise of street art's popularity. Eine's association with then-emerging London graffiti artist Banksy was hugely influential to the commercial success of both artists. In 2003, the pair created the famous Pictures on Walls gallery, with a loose collective of other artists, to print and sell street art. POW was established in the spirit of the DIY Punk movement because, as Eine recalls; "There wasn't a single gallery in London or the world that could touch what we were doing." Eine's international acclaim increased further when UK Prime Minister David Cameron gifted his artwork "Twenty First Century City" to President Obama in 2010. His work is now in the permanent collections of the V&A Museum in London, the Museum of Modern Art in Los Angeles. The Museum of Contemporary Art in San Francisco, the Urban Museum of Street Art in Berlin, Beyond The Streets and The Dean Collection in Los Angeles, as well as the private collection of Louis Vuitton and many other commercial institutions. Fashion has always been a love of Eine's. She enjoys an ongoing collaboration with Louis Vuitton, as well as her own clothing label, Eine London, which launched to great acclaim at London Fashion Week 2018. Eine's painted shutters and murals can still be found around the world. Her distinctive lettering continues to spell out words and phrases across walls from London to Los Angeles, Florence to Tokyo. He continues to use street art to engage and surprise the public. In 2018, Eine unveiled the world's largest street artwork; the 'CREATE' mural: a 17500 square foot artwork painted on an industrial site in East London that is visible from space.

* Zulu War. Memorandum regarding the discovery of the late Prince Imperial's uniform and other effects, the handwritten account by Lieutenant George Villiers and relates to the mission which he was tasked with on 12 September 1879, the 8-page letter incomplete, 17.5 x 11cmQty: (1)Footnote: Written by Lieutenant George Villiers (1847-1892) in London on 29 January 1880, it relates to the death of Napoleon, Prince Imperial, son of Napoleon III (1856-1879). He was killed in a skirmish with the Zulus during the Anglo-Zulu War, 1879. His death sent shockwaves through Europe as he was the last serious dynastic hope for the restoration of the House of Bonaparte to the throne of France. Lieutenant George Villiers was tasked with finding and retrieving the Prince Imperial's uniform, pistol and personal effects, which the Zulus had taken. When he discovered Prince Imperia's body he had eighteen assegai wounds but the Zulus did not dismember his body because Prince Imperial had shown great courage in battle however they did slit his chest open (a common Zulu practice to release the deceased's spirit). A copy of this document is in the South African Museum.
