[The Cook Family Coat of Arms] Capt. Cook.
[n.d., c.1850, but later.]
Stipple engraving on steel. 130 x 95mm (5 x 3¾"), with very wide margins.
The coat of arms presented to the Cook family in 1785, six years after James Cook's death on Hawaii. Beaglehole writes: ''The shield azure bears between its two golden 'polar stars' no heraldic symbol but a map of the Pacific hemisphere, with every tenth degree of latitude marked and every fifteenth of longitude; superimposed are Cook's tracks in red, ending precisely at Hawaii. 'And for a crest, on a wreath of the colours, is an arm imbowed, vested in the uniform of a captain of the Royal Navy. In the hand is the Union Jack on a staff proper. The arm is encircled by a wreath of palm and laurel.' Two mottos, an unusual distinction, accompany these bearings: above the crest the words Circa orbem, below the shield another adaptation from the Royal Society, the biographical statement Nil intentatum reliquit.''. Cook's widow never seems to have used it, nor was it added to any of Cook's memorials.

Divers Costumes représentés dans une peinture d’un MS: intitulé Echects Amoureux. Concerts vocal et instrumental tires du même MS:
A Marotte del.t et sculp.t Gabriel sculp.t
Bibliothèque Nationale. [n.d c.1839.]
Mixed-method, coloured; paper watermarked Blacons. Plate 325 x 215mm. 12¾ x 8½". Four worm holes.
A representation of various costumes; and a musical concert with a boy choir to the right. From "Monuments français inédits pour servir à l'histoire des arts depuis le Vie siècle jusqu'au commencement du XVIIe". Willemin's ambition was to present a parallel of antique and French art and design, but this proved an impossible task, and Willemin, perhaps spurred on by the revival of interest in medieval art across the Channel, decided to devote the latter half of his career to the production of the present volumes, chronicling the best examples of French design of the mediaeval and early renaissance period by examples taken from buildings, works of art, books and manuscripts. Willemin started work on it in 1806 (the engraved title leaf to the first volume bears this date), but he died in 1833 before the plates were quite finished, and it was left to his daughter to arrange for the engravings of the last of the plates and to commission an explanatory text from André Pottier. Willemin was the first to provide such accurate illustrations of French mediaeval decorative art and his plates had considerable influence in forming contemporary taste. It may be noted that he was a personal friend of Augustus Pugin senior, who allowed objects from his personal collection of mediaeval antiquities to be illustrated on one of the plates, and that the frontispiece to the younger Pugin's True Principles was evidently adapted from Willemin's illustration of King René of Anjou in his study.

Marc Chagall.
Éditions de la Revue Verve, Tériade, Paris [n.d. 1956].
Coloured lithograph. 355 x 260mm (14 x 10¼"). Some creasing in bottom left corner.
A vibrant and abstract portrait of David and Bathsheba, blended into one face, by Marc Chagall (1887-1985). Chagall was a prominent artist of the early modernist movement and thought of highly by contemporaries such as Picasso. Throughout his career Chagall centred a duality of Jewish and Christian themes, what he insisted was a 'universal message' and his work included motifs of prophets, angels and the story of Moses, in his first bible cycle.
