RUSSIAN IMPERIAL ROMANOV FAMILY: An exceptional vintage signed sepia 10.5 x 12.5 photograph by all seven members of the Russian Imperial Romanov family individually, comprising the last Emperor of Russia, his consort and their five children - Tsar Nicholas II (1868-1918) Emperor of Russia 1894-1917 Alexandra Feodorovna (1872-1918) Empress Consort of Russia 1894-1917 Olga Nikolaevna (1895-1918) Grand Duchess of Russia, the eldest daughter of the Tsar and Tsarina Tatiana Nikolaevna (1897-1918) Grand Duchess of Russia Maria Nikolaevna (1899-1918) Grand Duchess of Russia Anastasia Nikolaevna (1901-1918) Grand Duchess of Russia, the youngest daughter of the Tsar and Tsarina and Alexei Nikolaevich (1904-1918) Tsarevich of Russia, the youngest child and only son of the Tsar and Tsarina. The circular image (6.5" diameter) depicts the Romanov Family in a group pose, the Tsar, wearing a military uniform, seated in a full length pose at the centre of his family, the Tsarina, wearing her tiara, standing in a full length pose behind her husband, with their children gathered around them, Grand Duchess Olga seated in a full length pose at the left of the image alongside her father, Grand Duchess Maria standing in a full length pose behind her father and alongside her mother, Grand Duchess Anastasia standing in a full length pose to the left of her parents and holding one arm around the shoulder of her brother, Tsarevich Alexei, who is seated in a full length pose, wearing a sailor suit, alongside Grand Duchess Tatiana who is seated in a full length pose at the right of the image. Each of the Grand Duchesses are seen wearing plain long white dresses. Photograph by the Imperial Russian Court photographers Boissonnas & Eggler of St. Petersburg and bearing their blind embossed stamp to the lower left corner of the photographer's mount. Signed ('Nicolas') by Tsar Nicholas II and signed ('Alexandra') by the Tsarina in bold, dark fountain pen inks with their names alone to the lower photographer's mount, and further signed ('Olga', 'Tatiana', 'Maria', 'Anastasia' and 'Alexis') by each of the Romanov children, also with their names alone in bold, dark fountain pen inks, to the lower photographer's mount and in a row immediately beneath the signatures of their parents. Lightly affixed to a beige matt with a gold border to an overall size of 12 x 14. A couple of very small, minor spots to the photographer's mount, not affecting the signatures, and some extremely light age toning, the matt with some light staining and age wear, VG AN EXCEPTIONALLY RARE FULLY SIGNED PHOTOGRAPH BY THE RUSSIAN IMPERIAL ROMANOV FAMILY Autographs of all of the Romanov family on a single item are extremely rare in any form, and the present signed photograph is of the utmost rarity. American Book Prices Current record only two items signed by multiple members of the Romanov family, although neither featured the complete set of seven signatures as the present photograph does. This photograph of the Russian Imperial Romanov family was one of a series taken at Livadia Palace in 1913 to mark the tercentenary of Romanov rule. An unsigned image from the same setting is housed in the Royal Collection Trust of Queen Elizabeth II (RCIN 2926945). A very similar image (again, unsigned) to the present photograph (Tsar Nicholas II with his hands gently clasped and Grand Duchess Olga with her head slightly tilted) is illustrated on the front cover dustjacket of the book Nicholas & Alexandra - The Last Imperial Family of Tsarist Russia, published by Booth-Clibborn Editions, 1998, in conjunction with a major exhibition organised jointly by the Russian State Hermitage Museum and the State Archive of the Russian Federation. The same image is also reproduced on page 309 of the book (somewhat confusingly attributing the photograph to the studio of Levitsky and Co. with a date of 1914). The exhibition (which also featured contributions from the world-famous Forbes Magazine Collection) included many signed photographs, letters and documents, all of which are handsomely reproduced in the book. However, it would appear that no photograph signed by all seven members of the Romanov family was included in the exhibition, and it would appear safe to assume that had one existed within the major contributing archives to the exhibition then it would most certainly have been included. The apparent absence within the archives of a signed photograph similar to the one offered here can only serve to reinforce the extreme rarity of the present lot. It is interesting to note that both the Tsar and Tsarina, as well as each of their children, have signed the photograph not in Cyrillic, but in Latin script, most likely indicating that the photograph was originally signed for, and presented to, a European recipient, perhaps even a relative (the Tsar was a first cousin of King George V of the United Kingdom and had family ties to several other European monarchies). Furthermore, it is interesting that the Romanov family appended their signatures to the present image; the Imperial Russian Court photographers created a number of different images at the sitting at Livadia Palace and the fact that the Tsar and his family signed the present image from the series could be seen as an indication that this was their favourite image from the series. Provenance: The present signed photograph was previously contained within the archives of a European noble family. The reign of Tsar Nicholas II saw the fall of the Russian Empire from being one of the foremost great powers of the world to economic and military collapse. Two revolutions occurred in Russia in 1917, the first known as the February Revolution, the immediate result of which was the abdication of the Tsar and the end of the Romanov dynasty. The Russian Imperial Romanov family (the seven signatories of the present photograph) and all those who chose to accompany them into exile were executed by a firing squad at Yekaterinburg on 17th July 1918.
HOUDINI HARRY: (1874-1926) Hungarian-American Magician & Escapologist. A good vintage signed postcard photograph of Houdini in a half length pose wearing a pinstripe suit jacket and bow tie. Signed ('Harry Houdini') in dark fountain pen ink to a clear area of the image, adding the sentiment 'Best wishes' and date, 24th April 1913, in his hand. About EX The present photograph was signed during Houdini's European tour of 1913, a significant year in both his personal and professional life. The magician's mother, Cecilia Weisz, to whom he was greatly devoted, died in 1913 whilst he was in Sweden. In the same year Houdini also introduced the elaborate Chinese Water Torture Cell escape to his repertoire, perhaps his most famous act. Houdini's grand illusions and daring, spectacular escape acts have made him one of the most famous magicians of all time.
HIROHITO (1901-1989) Emperor Showa of Japan 1926-89 & KOJUN (1903-2000) Empress Consort of Emperor Showa of Japan. An exceptional, very fine pair of vintage signed 9.5 x 12.5 photographs by Emperor Hirohito and Empress Kojun individually, the images depicting them both standing in formal three quarter length poses, the Emperor wearing a suit and the Empress in traditional Japanese dress. Signed by both with their names alone, in Japanese characters, in bold, dark fountain pen inks to light areas of the images. Individually framed and glazed in the original attractive sterling silver presentation frames, both featuring the Imperial Japanese seal at the head, to overall sizes of 12 x 15 each. Both are contained in their original wooden boxes. A rare pair of signed portraits. EX Provenance: The present photographs were presented to Thomas Clayton Davis (1889-1960) Canadian Lawyer, Judge & Diplomat, while serving as the Canadian Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Japan, June 1954 - March 1957. Prince Hirohito married his distant cousin Princess Nagako Kuni (the future Empress Kojun) on 26th January 1924. Empress Kojun was Empress Consort from 1926 to 1989, making her the longest lived Empress Consort in Japanese history. Hirohito, or Emperor Showa as he is more commonly known in Japan, began his reign whilst Japan was already one of the world's great powers. He was head of state under the Constitution of the Empire of Japan during Japan's imperial expansion, militarisation and involvement in World War II. During the post-war period Hirohito became the symbol of the new state and Japan's recovery, and by the end of his reign, Japan had emerged as the world's second largest economy.
ROYAL CHILDREN OF KING GEORGE V: An exceptional and rare vintage signed sepia 8 x 9.5 photograph by each of the six children of King George V and Queen Mary individually, comprising - Edward, Prince of Wales (1894-1972) later King Edward VII, then Duke of Windsor Prince Albert, Duke of York (1895-1952) later King George VI Mary, Princess Royal (1897-1965) later Countess of Harewood Prince Henry (1900-1974) later Duke of Gloucester Prince George (1902-1942) later Duke of Kent, and Prince John (1905-1919) The image depicts the six children standing together in full length poses in two rows on the outdoor steps of a royal residence. Princess Mary stands in the centre of the back row, flanked by the two future Kings of England, the two youngest Princes standing immediately before them on the front row, each wearing sailor suits and with their brother's hands resting on their shoulders. Prince Henry is attired in a formal suit and stands in the centre of the front row with his sister placing one hand on his left shoulder. Photograph by W & D Downey of London, and from the appearance of the children most likely taken around 1910. Signed by the children in bold, black fountain pen inks, each with their names alone to the photographer's mount. Each of the children have signed using their family names; Edward, Prince of Wales signing himself 'David', Prince Albert, Duke of York signing himself 'Bertie', the Princess Royal signing herself 'Mary', Prince Henry signing himself 'Harry', Prince George signing himself 'Georgie' and Prince John signing himself 'Johnnie' in a small, neat hand, in capital letters. Very slightly neatly trimmed to the lower edge, otherwise VG Very slightly neatly trimmed to the lower edge, otherwise VG An extremely rare signed Royal family portrait. The fact that each of the children have signed their family names on the present photograph would indicate that it was originally presented to an individual closely associated with the family, and most likely another Royal family member. Each of the children of King George V were born before he became King in 1911. Prince George, when Duke of York, had married Princess Mary of Teck on 6th July 1893. They had five sons and one daughter together, two of whom would become Kings themselves. Their youngest son, Prince John, who caused the King and his consort great anxiety for many years, tragically died at the young age of 13 after a lifetime of ill health. Randolph Churchill claimed that King George was a strict father, to the extent that his children were terrified of him. The King apparently once remarked to the Earl of Derby, 'My father was frightened of his mother, I was frightened of my father, and I am damned well going to see to it that my children are frightened of me'.

An E.R. II Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (M.B.E.) frosted silver breast badge with citation, naming Walter Reginald Farr Esquire.Walter "Snowy" Farr (1919-2007)Walter "Snowy" Farr was born in Longstanton in 1919. He worked for Cambridgeshire City Council as a road sweeper for most of his life, but it was his unconventional fundraising activities after retiring which brought him to the publics, and ultimately The Queen's attention.Snowy decided to spend his retirement raising much needed funds for several charities for the blind. And he did it in style. Busking and collecting around Petty Curry in Cambridge city centre. Snowy was often seen in antique military uniform or suit tails, along with a stripped top hat. He was regularly accompanied by a menagerie of animals to include his cat, several white mice, dogs, guinea pigs, cockerels and a goat. The cat would sit upon Snowy's top hat while the mice ran around its brim.Unsurprisingly, Snowy managed to raise many thousands of pounds over the years. He reportedly raised over £62,000 for the Cambridgeshire Society for the Blind and Partially Sighted, over £46,000 for Guide Dogs for the Blind and over £25,000 for Cam Sight amongst many other charities.Despite being extremely well known by visitors to Cambridge and interviewed by Dave Allen in 1974, Snowy's efforts weren't officially recognised until 1995 when he received his M.B.E.Snowy Farr died on 8th March 2007, aged 88. Weyman's Funeral Services of Cambridge funded the funeral as Snowy had given all his money to charity.Shortly afterwards there was public call for a fitting memorial to this lovable eccentric. The Snowy Farr memorial artwork was unveiled outside Cambridge's Guildhall in 2012. Designed by Gary Webb, the sculpture is suitably eye-catching.In memory of Snowy's tireless work, Lacy Scott & Knight will donate all commission fees and buyers premium from the sale of this lot to Guide Dogs for the Blind charity.
