MUSIC - ETHEL SMYTHCollection of printed music and songsheets, including: Ethel Smyth, The March of the Women/ Dedicated to the Women's Social and Political Union...For meetings and processions, to be sung in unison, printed libretto, published by The Woman's Press, Charing Cross Road, London, W.C., 1911; with a group of printed sheet music and song sheets, some published by the WPSU, including Woman This, and Woman That, The Women's Marsellaise, The Purple, White and Green, The Ragtime Suffragette, and Suffragettes. Humorous One or Two Step by Montague Ewing, 355 x 255mm. and smaller, c.1911 (10)Footnotes:'SHOUT, SHOUT, UP WITH YOUR SONG! CRY WITH THE WIND FOR THE DAWN IS BREAKING''For as long as socially and politically aware citizens have gathered to protest laws and voice dissent, music has served a paramount role; the women's suffrage movement proves no exception. From local community suffrage meetings, to large-scale city-wide marches, to prison cells -- suffragists consistently unified, rallied, and asserted their unbreakable spirit in song' (Library of Congress website). As this collection shows, many of the suffrage songs were to be sung to the melodies of popular songs, others were specially written by members of the movement (Florence Macaulay's The Women's Marseillaise for example). The movement's rallying cry, Ethel Smyth's March of the Women with stirring words by Cicely Hamilton (the songsheet of which sold for a penny), was first performed in public on 21 January 1911 at a social evening at Suffolk Street Galleries to welcome those imprisoned after the events following Black Friday in November 1910. Votes for Women called its union of revolutionary spirit and religious solemnity 'At once a hymn and a call to battle' (Crawford, p.644). Later in 1911 Smyth served two months in Holloway for her part in a window smashing protest. When her friend the composer Thomas Beecham visited her, he found suffragettes marching around the quadrangle to the tune as Smyth leaned out of the window conducting furiously with a toothbrush.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

PETITION OF 1866To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament Assembled [drop-head title], 40pp. (last 2 blank), disbound, the last page stamped and addressed to 'The Rt Hon. Earl Cathcart, 91 Victoria St. S.W.', creased where originally folded for posting, 8vo, [1866]Footnotes:THE VERY RARE PRINTING OF THE 1866 PETITION: 'THE MOST IMPORTANT DOCUMENT OF THE WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE CAMPAIGN' (Elizabeth Crawford).The petition 'to consider the expediency of providing for the representation of all householders, without distinction of sex' represents the first mass women's suffrage petition and was presented by Mill to Parliament on 7 June 1866 ('By far the most important, perhaps the only really important public service I performed'). The argument put forward in the petition and taken up by Mill was that the ownership of property should carry the right to vote for both men and women.The original petition had been drafted by Mill's stepdaughter, Helen Taylor, prompted by an unofficial committee whose members included Barbara Bodichon, Bessie Rayner Parkes, Elizabeth Garrett (later Anderson) and Emily Davies. Some 1,500 signatures were gathered, reportedly all within a fortnight, and the present pamphlet version was then printed and sent out to members of both parliamentary Houses. Only a handful of copies are recorded in institutional collections, including a couple which are bound with other pamphlets, as the present copy once was.Although Mill's attempt to add his suffrage amendment to the Reform Bill a year later was voted down, and it would be more than half a century before women received the parliamentary vote in 1918, the petition was the first important step in establishing women's suffrage as a parliamentary question.Provenance: Earl Cathcart (Alan Frederick Cathcart, 3rd Earl Cathcart, 1828–1905), addressed to him in ink on final page, with stamp affixed for posting.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

MANOLO HUGUÉ (Barcelona, 1872 - Caldas de Montbui, Barcelona, 1945)."Female nude", ca.1940.Patinated terracotta.Signed at the bottom.Size: 25 x 12 x 13 cm.The movement contained in a dance step, in a gesture, in a point of balance, will be a constant search of the artist's period of maturity, of his period in Caldes de Montbui, a period in which he made female dancers and female nudes that moved away from the archaic-inspired volumetries of his first period.Manuel Martínez Hugué, Manolo Hugué, trained at the Escuela de la Lonja in Barcelona. A regular participant in the gatherings at Els Quatre Gats, he became friends with Picasso, Rusiñol, Mir and Nonell. In 1900 he moved to Paris, where he lived for ten years. There he resumed his relationship with Picasso, and became friends with other avant-garde theoreticians such as Apollinaire, Modigliani, Braque and Derain. In the French capital he worked on the design of jewellery and small sculptures, influenced by the work of his friend, the sculptor and goldsmith Paco Durrio. In 1892 he worked with Torcuato Tasso on decorative works for the celebrations of the centenary of the Discovery of America. Between 1910 and 1917, devoted entirely to sculpture, he worked in Ceret, where he brought together a heterogeneous group of artists including Juan Gris, Joaquín Sunyer and, once again, Picasso. During these years he held exhibitions in Barcelona, Paris and New York. In 1932 he was appointed a member of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Jorge in Barcelona. In Hugué's work, what is essential is the relationship with nature, taking into account the human figure as an integrated element in it. This is a characteristic of Noucentista classicism, but in Hugué's hands it goes beyond its limited origins. He usually depicted peasants, although he also depicted bullfighters and dancers - as can be seen on this occasion - always portrayed with a level of detail and an appreciation of textures that reveal his early training as a goldsmith. In his artistic production, Mediterranean tradition, Greek classicism and archaism, and the art of ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia coexist with the European avant-garde, which he assimilated and knew at first hand, specifically Matisse's Fauvism and Cubism. Works by Hugué are kept in the MACBA, the Georges Pompidou Centre in Paris, the Museo Nacional de Arte de Cataluña and the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, among many others.
