Fifteen-course chitarrone or theorbo, Italian, 17th century and later, the body of thirty ebony ribs divided by ivory purfling, the later table pierced by triple roses carved and pierced with floral scrollwork, the tie bridge probably also later, the underside of the later primary neck overlaid with ebony and ivory bands in a chevron form, both this and the secondary neck edged with ivory, the fingerboard with a central ebony panel inlaid in ivory with scrolling foliage inhabited by exotic birds and animals within an ivory frame, with six double courses of strings and one single chanterelle course over the fingerboard and eight single diapason strings running clear of the fingerboard, the secondary peg box doubling back on itself, fitted with two later ivory brackets for the carrying sling Inscribed on an overlaid ivory plaque below the secondary peg box Martin Kaiser fecit Venatus Anno 1609 Overall length 77?in, 196cm; body length 22?in, 58.3cm; primary string length 34in, 86.4cm; diaphason string length 67¼in, 170.8cm *This instrument bears certain similarities to a theorbo in the Musée de Musique, Paris (inv. No. E-24), in particular the inlay on the back of the primary neck. The Paris instrument is accepted as being the work of Martin Kaiser. It is labelled internally and is also dated 1609 (see Centre Animation Expression Loisin, Musique Ancienne, No. 16/17, September 1983, p. 65, 'Description des Luths de la Collection du Musée C. N. S. M. II' by Joêl Dugot). It can be speculated that whoever worked on this theorbo may have been familiar with the Paris instrument. Gardiner Houlgate are grateful for the assistance of Michael Lowe in cataloguing this instrument

Germaine Krull (1897 - 1985) :A highly collectable loose-leaf, formerly string-bound album of black and white/sepia photographs of African scenes, buildings and peoples, chiefly by the renowned photographer. Each cream coloured card page measuring 35.3 m x 41.1 cms approx with three, four or five prints and with many hand written pencil annotations to the mounts as well as many bearing the stamp verso ''Photographic du SERVICE de L'INFORMATION du France Combattante en Afrique Francoise Libre''. Numerous also have type-written labels or negative reference numbers verso. Germaine Krull was born in Poznan in 1897. During the First World War she attended a photography school in Munich and subsequently opened a studio there. In the early 1920's she shared a studio in Berlin producing a series of photographs of nudes. By the late 1920's she was considered one of the top three photographers in Paris, producing some exceptional images of architecture including bridges and the renowned Eiffel Tower. Some of these images have realised very great sums. In the late 1930's she had a studio in Monte Carlo and produced images of architecture, vehicles and well known (as well as little-known) people. She was not impressed with German occupied France and aimed to join the Free French Forces in Africa. Arriving in Brazzaville, Republic of Congo in September 1942, over the next year and a half she produced a considerable number of photographic images of landscapes, buildings, industry and the native people, several of which feature in the lot being sold which comprises 27 album pages and some 107 individual atmospheric black and white/sepia prints.
