Contemporary signature 'Nichs Marshall' on front fly. Anon. Rare. Clio was Fowke's "literary" name for herself while Strephon was the poet and journalist William Bond. The work is an exchange of letters in verse and prose. Fowke's poetry sometimes expresses her frustration with the conventional expectations of a woman's place in 18th Century society; her former friend and fellow-writer Eliza Haywood attacked Fowke in a scandalous account of her relationships which affected the poet's reputation badly.

1845Best.-Nr. 13924Paris 1845. Pen ink and watercolour. Very good condition apart from a few light foxing marks and minor creases. A rare example of an original watercolour design for porcelain by the Samson factory of Paris. This finished design was intended as a reference source from which the porcelain painters could work using the design as a guide for the colours and image to be transformed from paper into fine porcelain. The French porcelain manufactory of Samson & Cie. was established by "Edmé Samson b. Paris 1810; d. Paris 1891 at 7 Rue Vendôme later Rue Béranger in Paris. The intention of the firm was to reproduce ceramics from museums and private collections and it claimed that all such reproductions would be distinctly marked to avoid confusion with the originals. In 1864 the factory was moved to Montreuil by Samson's son Emile Samson 1837-1913. The range of wares included copies of 18th-century porcelain from such factories as Sèvres Chelsea Meissen and Derby Chinese export-wares especially armorial wares decorated with famille rose colours and mugs decorated with the Fitzhugh pattern Delftware Iznikware maiolica and faience."

1845Best.-Nr. 15917Paris 1845. Pen ink and watercolour. Very good condition apart from some overall light soiling and mild staining. A rare example of an original watercolour design for porcelain by the Samson factory of Paris. This drawing sets out the decoration for a single tall covered vase. At the top are small studies of the cover; below the main portion of the sheet opens the vessel into a sequence of flattened panels representing each side of the body and neck. The pattern in ink and blue wash reflects Chinese blue-and-white porcelain with large floral rosettes and leafy sprays interspersed with small birds framed by simple borders at rim and foot. The French porcelain manufactory Samson & Co. was founded in 1845 by Edmé Samson 1810-1891 a Paris-born painter on ceramics who began by making replacement pieces for damaged services before turning to high-quality reproductions of historic wares. Working first at 7 rue Vendôme later rue Béranger in Paris and later from a factory at Montreuil run by his son Emile Samson 1837-1913 the firm drew on a large study collection of original pieces to copy or adapt designs from Sèvres Meissen Chelsea Derby and Worcester as well as Chinese export porcelain Japanese Islamic Delft faience and maiolica. Samson always maintained that its reproductions were distinctly marked to avoid confusion with the originals though later removal or alteration of marks has often led the firms work to be mistaken for earlier pieces. Production continued into the twentieth century finally ceasing in 1969 and the manufactory is now recognised as one of the most inventive nineteenth-century interpreters of historic ceramic styles. Surviving design drawings such as the present work offer rare insight into the way the Samson workshop translated museum models and historic patterns into working colour copies for its painters and modellers. unknown

Best.-Nr. 11195Paris: 1655-1703. No binding. Good. 435 x 580 mm. early outline colour in good condition. A fine detailed map of Poland Lithuania Latvia present day Belarus and Ukraine published by Nicolas Sanson 1600-67. The map was first published in 1655 with at least one later state dated 1663. Here it is dated 1703 upper right. Sanson was to bring about the rise of French cartography although the fierce competition of the Dutch would last until the end of the century. This shift in cartographic centres shadowed the relative fortunes of the two countries; France under Louis XIV was a growing power in Europe. Born in Abbeville in the Picardy region of France 1600 Sanson studied history and turned to cartography as a means of recording it. In 1630 he was made Géographe Ordinaire du Roi and was to become one of the tutors to Louis XIV. However his future success was partly owing to the partnership he made with the publisher Pierre Mariette. In 1644 the latter had purchased the business of Melchoir Tavernier and helped Sanson with financial support in producing the maps for the planned atlas. In 1657 Pierre Mariette died which delayed publication of Sanson's atlas. However his son also named Pierre co-published Les Cartes Générales de toutes les parties du Monde the following year. It was the first folio French produced world atlas. Pastoureau 1984 Sanson V A 65. 1655-1703 unknown
