Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin (British 1812-1852) "The Eschenheim Tower City Gate of Frankfurt" c. 1833/34 graphite on light cream-colored laid paper very faintly signed "Aug. Pugin" (and possibly dated?) lower left paper watermarked "[18]33" behind upper right edge bordered in thin black ink 9 7/8 in. x 7 in. in modern mount. Provenance: James R. Lamantia Jr. New Orleans and New York. Note: This is an early example of Pugin's architectural-or more properly topographical-studies being a view from the north of the famous old watchtower (1400-1428) on the northwest line of the former city walls at Frankfurt-am-Main Germany. The Eschenheim Gate is now restored to its Medieval form as Pugin meticulously drew it; like all the monuments of Frankfurt it was substantially reconstructed after World War II. The twin turrets a third of the way up now have new windows roof spires and machicolations; there are two more windows (distinguished by their more modern stonework) to light intermediate floors in the tower itself; and the machicolations battlements and spires of the crowning ring of turrets have all been rebuilt. Pugin probably owed his deep acquaintance with this tower to the constant series of travels that he undertook to study Medieval architecture on the Continent (principally in France Belgium and Germany) beginning in May 1832 when his first wife died in childbirth; and his father his mother and his aunt-from whom he inherited financial independence-all followed her within a few months. The paper of this drawing is dated "[18]33" on what is almost certainly a remnant of a John Whatman watermark: there is no reason to assume that Pugin would have availed himself of such a prestigious paper in any later year than 1833/34 and we may confidently take that internal evidence as the date of this fine drawing. Pugin's later career as perhaps the finest Gothic Revival architect of the first half of the 19th c. is here given a very significant impetus. Reference: Alexandra Wedgwood "A. W. N.

Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881-1973) Femme retenant son peignoir, c. 1923 Signed "Picasso" in pencil l.r. Graphite on wove paper, sheet size 12 5/8 x 9 11/16 in. (32.1 x 24.6 cm), framed. Condition: Deckled edges, foxing, mat burn, paper tape hinged to backing mat. Provenance: Estate of Hester Marion (née Chanler) Pickman (1893-1989), Bedford, Massachusetts; by family descent to the present owner. Literature: The Picasso Project, Picasso's Paintings, Watercolors, Drawings and Sculpture: A Comprehensive Illustrated Catalogue 1885-1973, Neoclassicism II 1922-1924 (San Francisco: Alan Wofsy Fine Arts, 1996), no. 23-204, p. 173 (illus.); Christian Zervos, Pablo Picasso, Vol. V (Paris: Èditions Cahiers d'Art, 1942-1951), no. 134, p. 66 (illus.). N.B. A photo-certificate issued by Claude Ruiz-Picasso of the Picasso Administration accompanies the lot. We wish to thank Mr. Picasso and Christine Pinault for their kind assistance. Hester M. Chanler was a descendent of the Astor family by her paternal grandmother Margaret "Maddie" Astor Ward (1838-1875) and her grandfather New York congressman John Winthrop Chanler (1826-1877). While she was born into a family of social prominence and wealth, it was also one of artistic achievement--her mother Margaret (née Terry) Chanler, uncle Francis Marion Crawford, and aunt Mary Crawford Fraser all published works of fiction and non-fiction; her maternal great-aunt Julia Ward Howe wrote the song "Battle Hymn of the Republic," and her maternal grandfather Luther Terry painted allegorical, portrait, and genre scenes. In 1915, Hester, who attended Radcliffe College and was fluent in several languages, married the scholar Edward Motley Pickman (1886-1959), a Harvard graduate and descendant of the Pickman merchant family of Salem. Between the autumns of 1921 and 1923, the Pickmans (with their four children) went on a 'modernized' Grand Tour of France, Germany, and Italy, and are believed to have acquired the drawing during this period. (1) The Pickmans were close friends of Sara and Gerald Murphy, who were also in France at this time, and joined them on some adventures. During the autumn of 1921 in Paris, Hester and the Murphys studied painting for six months under Natalia Goncharova, where they were critiqued daily by Goncharova and her partner Michel Larionov. (2) As a result of their intensive practice and on Goncharova's praise, Sergei Diaghilev gave the three artists an opportunity to paint backdrops for the Ballet Russes' spring 1922 season. (3) Pablo Picasso, who had collaborated with Diaghilev earlier in the year for the May performance of Cuadro flamenco and was married to Ballet Russes principal Olga Khokhlova, was amongst the artists who came in to supervise their work and offer corrections. (4) By January 1922, the Murphys (and presumably the Pickmans) were socializing with Picasso over cocktails around Paris. (5) During the summer of 1922, the Pickmans and Murphys vacationed together in Houlgate, a seaside resort in Calvados, Normandy. (6) In a letter from Hester M. Pickman to her sister Laura Chanler White (the daughter-in-law of architect Stanford White), Hester describes their residence, Villa Germaine, as ideally situated between a town, the beach, the countryside, and "4 or 5 nice friends, i.e. the Murphies [sic]..." (7) In 1923, the Picassos and Murphys summered in Cap d'Antibes on the Côte d'Azur, frequently socializing at La Garoupe beach. Picasso continued to work in a linear, neoclassical style, creating a number of drawings depicting the Three Graces and idealized female nudes. Sara Murphy, with her well-defined features and easygoing manner, served as a model and muse to Picasso during their stay in July. (8) While the sitter of the present work is unidentified, her profile bears a strong resemblance to Sara Murphy as depicted in the ink drawing Femme au Turban, created the same year. And while it not yet known how and when this recently rediscovered work was acquired by the Pickmans, one can surmise that the drawing may have been a souvenir of their time in France with the Murphys and Picasso.

A gorgeous ceramic vase of a classic form decorated with a floral relief motif on the exterior walls - embellished with lustrous golden yellow, seafoam green, and forest green hues and a white interior, all under Rookwood's rare Iris glaze. The vessel is marked on the base with the Rookwood logo (a back-to-back "R" and "P" surrounded by flames), "III" to indicate the date 1903, identifying shape number "938 C", and a "OGR" (Olga Geneva Reed) artist's mark.

The Rookwood Pottery Company was founded in 1880 by the artist Maria Longworth-Nichols who created a world-renowned ceramic studio in Cincinnati, Ohio that attracted many reputable artists and ceramicists. Olga Geneva Reed attended the Cincinnati Art Academy and decorated Rookwood Pottery from 1890 until 1909. Interestingly, she married another Rookwood artist, Matthew Daly, after her first husband passed away.

Atasi, also spelled Otasse, Atusse, Auttossee, were a branch of the Creek / Muscogee tribes along the Tallapoosa River from about 1560 to 1813 CE and moved periodically due to soil and river conditions. On November 29th, 1813, the Atasi people joined in the Creek War (Red Stick War) and in 1814 they refused to sign the Treaty of Fort Jackson, and many migrated to Florida and joined the Seminole Nation. After the First Seminole War in 1818, Creek and Seminole peoples, displaced by war and American settlers returned to Alabama along the Sougahatchee creek in Lee County. Between the early 1800s and the 1832 Treaty of Cusseta, the Creek nation had lost most of their land to white settlers through laws, pressures, violence, and treaties. The Treaty of Cusseta ceded all of Creek land east of the Mississippi to the United States, with meager land claims granted to individual Creeks. Conflicts between white settlers and remaining Creek landowners intensified, and in 1835 the US government forcibly relocated most of the remaining Creeks to the Indian Territory in Oklahoma. The Atasi sites along the Tallapoosa and Saguache rivers were demolished by quarries and other modern developments. These beads are likely possessions that were left behind during the sad Trail of Tears march. . . Provenance: ex-Bennett's Premiere Auctions, Ashland, Ohio, USA; ex-Dr. R. P. Burke collection. .

Rare Original Gramophone by Emile Berliner circa 1890-1893 first series of production by Kammer & Reinhardt of Germany for playing 5 inch (12. 5cm) Ber: Rare Original Gramophone by Emile Berliner circa 1890-1893 first series of production by Kammer & Reinhardt of Germany for playing 5 inch (12. 5cm) Berliner records, patent D. R. P 45048, with hand-cranked mechanism, soundbox with patent date 8th Nov. 1887 and original shipping box, rare cast iron model, size: 7" x 8 1/4", good original condition, missing tension belt and paper mache horn, box and machine labeled with matching serial number, the German emigrant Emile Berliner patented his invention on 8th November 1887 in Germany and America simultaneously, followed by patents in several other countries. Berliner's machine, however, awoke little interest in America at this time thanks to Thomas Edison's unveiling of an improved cylinder phonograph at the Paris World Exhibition of 1889. A year into his return to Germany, Berliner met with more success. Berliner carried out improvements to his design in the telephone factory of his brother Joseph in Hanover and entered into a contact with toy and doll manufacturer Kämmer and Reinhardt who were willing to put his design into production. Despite European success, Berliner's big break-through in America came a few years later, with a slightly modified design and appearance for the transatlantic market.
