GAME OF THRONES (T.V. SERIES, 2011-2019) - Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) Wine Glass - A Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) wine glass from HBO's award-winning fantasy television series Game of Thrones. Cersei's wine glass was more sinister than any sword, as she would calmly sip from it while forming cunningly manipulative plans to defeat her enemies and preserve her family. Cersei drank from various wine glasses, including this style which was seen throughout different seasons of the show as she met with family members and devised plans within the walls of King's Landing.Hand-blown in a furnace, the glass has an elegant shape with bubbles on the exterior and a transparent green coloration that enabled the richness of the red wine she was consuming to be seen vividly.

VOLTAIRE: (1694-1778) Francois-Marie Arouet. French Enlightenment writer, historian and philosopher. An excellent L.S, `Voltaire´, two pages , 4to, at the Chateau de Ferney, 27th August 1768, to Monsieur Le Bault, in French. Voltaire reports on wine, comparing two offered to him, and refers to an affair he has lost a lot and which he takes with philosophical conclusions, stating `Je me flatte que vous aurez d´excellent vin cette année, et que vous voudrez bien que j´en boive cent bouteilles. Mr. le Président de Brosses me fait boire la lie du vin de la terre de Tourney; Si vous vendiez votre vin aussi cher qu´il vend le sien, vous feriez une fortune immense. S´il veut nous prendre pour arbitre, vous êtes un gourmet en fait de procédés, j´en passerai parce que vous ordonnerez. Au reste, si Mr. de Brosses ne veut pas me rendre justice, j´aime mieux souffrir que plaider; et quoique j´ai beaucoup perdu avec lui dans cette affaire, j´aime mieux mon rôle que le sien...´ (Translation: "I flatter myself that you will have excellent wine this year, and that you will want me to drink a hundred bottles of it. Mr. President of Brosses makes me drink the dregs of the wine from the land of Tourney; If you sold your wine for as much as he sells his, you would make an immense fortune. If he wants to take us as arbiter, you are a gourmet in terms of procedures, I will pass because you order. Besides, if Mr. de Brosses does not want to do me justice, I would rather suffer than plead; and although I lost a lot with him in this affair, I like my role better than his...") A cleanly written letter. With blank integral leaf. VG​

J'espere que vous reverrez la seine et la reste' (Translation: 'We'd still like you to be with .....de Flore at Graff with a little gratinee Zervos, Man Ray wait for me!...... I hope you'll see the Seine and the rest of it again') and '......Prononcez bien Vendredi les oveilles amies vous enconteront et moi je penserai aux bons moments passes a Vicozere, Chris. Zervos' (Translation: '.......Get the pronunciation right Friday, the friendly ears will greet you and I'll be thinking about the good times at Vicozere'), to the second page Yvonne Zerbos writes a further message, ‘Nous pensons toujours a vous vous etes, toujours avec nous. Man est tres triste!!!!! nous aussi Yvonne. Vendredi criez tres fort........Cafe Crème. Monte la dessus et tu verras Montmartre et le cafe Flore’ (Translation: ‘We are always thinking of you, you are always with us. Man is very sad!!!!! us too Yvonne.

Puja aqui dalt!.....Bona nit tinguem!! estiguem bonets!!.....’ (Translation: ‘Come Ros! Get up here!.....Have a good night!! let's be nice!!.....’), alongside which Dora Maar has drawn an exquisite pen and ink image of an eye with two teardrops falling from the corner, adding the words ‘Devinez de qui?’ (Translation: ‘Guess who?), which is followed by a second greeting signed by Jaime Sabartes ‘Saluda a los del centro excursionista de Catalunya a la lliga regionalista......y todos los que encuentre por la Ramblas’ (Translation from Catalan: ‘Say hello to those at the hiking centre from Catalonia to the regionalist league…..and everyone you find on the Ramblas’), the third page features entries by Leonor Fini ‘Vous aimez toujours et les gros porcs tendres……..?

Love to you both, and I hope you find some good friends! Affectionately….’), and at the foot of the page Pablo Picasso has drawn and signed a pen and ink image of a winged love heart, also incorporating the horns of a bull, and with a Cupid’s arrow piercing through the centre from right to left, signing his name (‘Picasso’) in bold black ink beneath. A series of ink hatched lines also appear beneath the drawing, partially obscuring the signature of Dora Maar. The page concludes with a series of ten question marks in the hand of Roberta Gonzalez, and with her signature beneath.
