Louis Vallée (Dutch c. 1620-1653) Portrait of a gentleman in a black hat and suit, a glove in his right hand Oil on canvas Signed and dated 1651 to centre of right edge 133 x 111.5cm (52¼ x 43¾ in.) Provenance: Boussod Valadin et Cie, Paris Sale, New York, Glaennzer Bankruptcy, where sold for $3,300 The collection of Emma Rockefeller McAlpine Sale, The American Art Association, New York, 1 November 1935 Literature: Les Arts, No.112,1911, p.16 Cicerone 14, 1922, p.313 Duits Quarterly, Vol 1, No. 4, Summer 1964, p.14-16, ill. p.15 Thought to have been of French origin, the only document which is currently known to make specific reference to Vallée is the register which records his burial in Amsterdam’s Oude Kerk on 28 May 1653. According to the register Vallée had been living in the Warmoesstraat in Amsterdam. There are few works attributed to the artist, but he appears to have been most active between 1646 and 1652. Of those works which are known, the majority are history paintings or portraits and similarities to the work of Amsterdam painter Jacob Backer (1608-1651) have led to the speculative suggestion that Vallée may have been his student.

ƟKitab Tahthib al-Ibarat fi fin an 'Akhadh al-Misahat (Treatise on Land Surveying), translated by Sa'id Omra Efendi from French to Arabic, apparently first Arabic edition [Cairo, Egypt, Bulaq Press, dated 1260 AH (1844 AD)] textually complete, index and 14 folding engraved plates, some hand-coloured, plate no.1 torn along old fold, headpiece above first section of text, colophon at the end, contemporary red morocco, covers ruled in gilt, a little rubbed, 8vo This is one of a number of French translations printed by the Bulaq press in Cairo from 1841 until about 1850. This particular work is unusual for the folding plates included at the back of the work, which endorsed a different printing technique and have been mounted on leaves to fold outwards instead of being sewn into the binding. This may have been because the binders were unfamiliar with the techniques used by western printers to include folding plates in the collation, and therefore adapted their Eastern book production styles to suit. Ɵ Indicates that the lot is subject to buyer’s premium of 25% exclusive of VAT (0% VAT).

"I would think she knows her onions (sexwise) and has Keelered a bit in her time...", Daphne du Maurier: (1907 - 1989) British Author, T.L.S. Mena, 15th July 1963, 'Bing', two pages, to Maureen Baker-Munton, ('Dearest Maureen') an extremely entertaining appraisal of her son Christian Browning's new partner Olive White. 'The big news, and I was waiting to report, was the visit this week-end (they left this morning) of that Rabbo and his Olive! You can imagine I was on tenterhooks, but so determined not to be like Mrs Tower when she first received Flave at her house ("Now we must have a little talk..") that I went all out to make things easy and jam-along, though filled the house with welcoming flowers as if it was the Queen once more! Moper also bobbing, and rather nervous, and changed into his black velvet dinner jacket I s'pose to make an impact! Anyway, they arrived late for dins Friday night - the duck had to be held up - and you know how one goes by first impressions. Well, as she got out of the jag, smart, in a pink tweed suit, and of course very attractive, very tall, with that make up that all these girls do these days, and very black lashes and bleached hair, and we chatted and sort of whisked in with suit-cases, I thought to myself "Now wait a minute, if it were not for the bleached hair, what is it about her that is familiar? Guess who? Vallie!! You remember when Vallie first came over, and was an Air Hostess, and was very striking to look at, and came to stay, and was not a bit shy, (you were not here) and I was a bit taken aback because she called Moper "Boy" which you had never done - but was very easy and jam-along, well - awfully that type. Put her in an Air Hostess's uniform and she would be saying, with a bright smile, "fasten your Seat Belts, please". I must say, she was awfully nice. Not mincey, or brash, or in any way waine, neither talked too much or too little, seemed perfectly at home though not over so, called me Bing (did'nt call Moper anything) got taken to see the boat, and in fact it went with a Swing! Moper like a dog with two pricks, very attentive, took her to Mass on Sunday (Rabbo abed!)... then while Kits and I did some work on a script, he and Olive washed all the glass and put it in boxes, in the pantry!! So I now see it all, Moper as an old man of 80, lives in some back part of Kits's (by that time) mansion in Suffolk, with Olive waiting on him hand and foot - I by then, in me grave! No, truly, she really was a success, and what beats me is why she should be so obviously in love with Rabbo. I mean, I would have thought she would have gone hell for leather for "the older man" - a sort of 40ish types. You may say, eye to the main chance, and she knows she's on to a good thing, but even so, she could find a rich "good thing" of 40 odd. Kits' very jam along with her... While she, one felt could have eat him up. Snuggled up to him when watching telly, etc. I would think she knows her onions (sexwise) and has Keelered a bit in her time, but despite this does not appear showy off or spoilt in anyway... I bet she has an Irish temper, and would fling things about if she lost it with him'.'Moper' was Daphne's pet name for her husband Sir Frederick Browning. Christian Browning would later marry the Irish beauty queen Olive White in 1964.(All rights are reserved by The Chichester Partnership and no written materials may be reproduced in part or in full without the express prior written permission of The Chichester Partnership c/o Curtis Brown Group Ltd)
"Some of them rather creepy like the last collection", Daphne du Maurier: (1907 - 1989) British Author, T.L.S. 'Bing', Mena, 21st September 1958, one page letter, to Mrs Maureen Baker-Munton, nee Luschwitz, ('Dearest Maureen') update on family life, her recent writing and attending a local wedding, 'I shall wear that blue suit - you dont know it - I got madly at Harvy Nichols for no reason in the spring before a Doubleday cocktail party... That is if I can get into the suit', Daphne continues, 'but odd, I had been writing about a child having Rib for the first time (subtly suggested, not in so many words!) and lo and behold, the day after finishing the story, on came my own! It really is rather peculiar, how my stories always fit certain events. I have now done 9, enough for a book, and some of them rather creepy like the last collection'.The short story collection referred to here is most likely 'The Breaking Point' (1959).(All rights are reserved by The Chichester Partnership and no written materials may be reproduced in part or in full without the express prior written permission of The Chichester Partnership c/o Curtis Brown Group Ltd)
Daphne du Maurier: (1907 - 1989) British Author, A.L.S. 'Daphne', one page, to Miss Maureen Luschwitz, ('Dearest Maureen'), 'could you take into Miss Jarvis of Peter Jones my american check swagger coat. The tailor is to copy it with the lengths of green tweed left from my suit'. Miss Maureen Luschwitz would later become Mrs Maureen Baker-Munton.

Daphne du Maurier: (1907 - 1989) British Author, autograph manuscript of poem, 'Song of the Happy Prostitute', in pencil, 'Why do they picture me as tired and old..., selling myself with sorrow, just to gain a few dull pence to shield me from the rain'. To verso in blue fountain pen are further stanzas from a different piece, 'When I was ten, I thought the greatest bliss, would be to rest all day upon hot sand under a burning sun..., time has slipped by, and finally I've know, The lure of beaches under exotic skies, and find my dreams to be misguided lies, For God! how dull it is to rest alone'. Along with a framed photograph of Daphne in a bathing suit preparing to dive into the sea from the 1920s, the manuscript was found in the back of the photograph frame and is believed to be of the same date. It is likely that this early work dates from Daphne's early visits to Ferryside at Bodinnick when she would write alone. These early poems appears to have not been published.(All rights are reserved by The Chichester Partnership and no written materials may be reproduced in part or in full without the express prior written permission of The Chichester Partnership c/o Curtis Brown Group Ltd)
