1817réf. AQ35026London: s.n. 1817. Single leaf broadside. Browning and staining to edges with very small loss to lower right corner small hole and tear to title slightly obscuring final letters. A scarce playbill recording an early effort by London's Lyceum Theatre renamed The English Opera House in the summer of 1817 to present an illumination of the 'audience part of the theatre' during a performance of 'Free and Easy' a comic opera. Although the use of gaslight in street-lamps had first been demonstrated a decade prior in 1807 the goal to introduce gaslighting to the commercial stage took years to evolve into the competitive landscape of 1817 where three of London's premier West End venues the Theatre Royal Covent Garden Theatre Royal Drury Lane and the Lyceum Theatre entered into a rapid race to produce the first fully-gaslit public performances in a West End venue. The Royalty an East End theatre later renamed The East London Theatre had previously installed gas piping and lighting fixtures across both the auditorium and the stage in 1816 demonstrating the viability of such a project. The English Opera House led by director Samuel Arnold proudly boasted on August 6 1817 that 'Gas Lighting will this evening be introduced over the whole stage' seemingly claiming themselves the winners of the century's most contested technical theatre contest. Despite this the lack of an illuminated auditorium meant that the theatre's audience remained in candlelight until a month later when the venue opened fully illuminated for the first time. The Theatre Royal Drury Lane despite only revealing its gaslit stage on the 6th September 1817 was able to argue that due to their introduction of gaslighting into the auditorium several weeks prior they were in fact the first of the three theatres to achieve the much vied- for feat. On the same night The Theatre Royal Covent Garden also offered a demonstration of gaslight on their stage finally concluding the rivalry and introducing a vital element of technical staging into London's leading venues for the remainder of the century.

Each folded once. All signed 'Percy Anderson'. ONE: 12 March 1912. Begins: 'Your properties are quite splendid.' He thanks Clarkson and his assistant for the trouble they have taken 'over the “M”'. Ends: 'I thought everything as good as it cd be – I refer to yr work of course'. TWO: 31 December 1912. He thanks him for his 'delightful' card and for 'yr. good wishes & for the tickets you so kindly send me for The Miracle. It was most thoughtful of you.' He ends in the hope that 1913 will be a crowning success you for sic & that you will have a very happy time'. THREE: 19 January no year. He is seeing 'Mr. Simmons' at 11 am the following day and will 'look in' on Clarkson afterwards. He thanks him 'for all the good work' on 'The Country Girl' adding: 'I want you to put all yr “guts” please into the “Ulysses” wigs'. FOUR: 10 September no year.

The recipient William Clarkson was the owner of Clarkson's Wigs Wellington Street London. James Morton in his 'Gangland Soho' 2012 alleges that Clarkson who has a blue plaque to his name at 41-43 Wardour Street was not only a repeated insurance fraudster but a notorious homosexual blackmailer after whom the public lavatory in Dansey Place was named 'Clarkson's Cottage'. RE Anderson & G & S: "The artist and costume designer Percy Anderson 1851-1928 was based in London where he exhibited watercolours at the New Water Colour Society in 1886. He designed costumes for the original productions of the last four Gilbert and Sullivan operas at the Savoy Theatre - The Yeomen of the Guard 1888 The Gondoliers 1889 Utopia Limited 1893 and The Grand Duke 1896 and for several D’Oyly Carte revivals including that for Utopia Limited considered by Rupert D’Oyly Carte in 1926 and but never realised. Given Gilbert’s exacting attitude to his productions it is an accolade to Anderson that he worked with Gilbert on so many including Gilbert and Edward German’s Fallen Fairies 1909 when Gilbert said Anderson: ‘surpassed himself’". 12 March 1912, 31 December [1912], and the other two without year; all on letterheads of 55 York Terrace, Regent's Park, N.W. unknown

1845réf. 12060Dresden : Not published. ca 1845. Unique. Contemporary ebony frame. Very good. 68 mm diameter An early painted rendering on a bisque porcelain disk of what has come to be known as the Semperoper Dresden. The building was designed by Gottfried Semper arguably the most important German architect of the Victorian era and opened in 1841. This was his first major building - a neo Renaissance theater with subdued ornamentation and an exterior that clearly expressed its internal spaces - and the introduction of Semper's revolutionary ideas that were ' . to change the course of theater design.' The Bayreuth Festspielhaus was the last expression of these design concepts. Semper was the original architect but was dismissed by Wagner before the project was complete. The Semperoper of Dresden burned to the ground in 1861.Contemporary renderings of the building are all that remain. The disk bears a contemporary identification on the back: 'Koenig Theater / zu Dresden'. It is mounted in a contemporary wooden ebony frame and held in place with a stamped gilt bezel. The verso of the frame is marked with a letter M and the number 30 impressed in the wood. As if to emphasize the revolutionary aspects of Semper's design the painter illustrated the theater building from the stage side a unique perspective when judged by the few contemmporary illustrations of the building. Given that the Meissen works were within 25 km of Dresden one assumes the bisque porcelain disk is Meissen but it bears none of the usual marks of the great manufactory.

Nouvelle édition, considérablement augmentée, de cette importante relation de voyage consacrée à la Corse, à l'Italie et à la Tunisie, composée en français. La première édition (1774) est une brochure de 142 pages. L'auteur, le comte Maximilian Joseph von Lamberg (1729-1792) avait été chambellan de Frédéric le Grand. Homme des Lumières, doté d'une culture encyclopédique, philosophique comme scientifique il était en relation avec les grands esprits européens de son temps, David Hume, d'Alembert, Voltaire, Haller, Casanova, Algarotti… En 1769, il quitta son poste pour effectuer un vaste périple de trois ans en Corse, en Italie et à Tunis, qu'il relate dans cet ouvrage. Une importante partie du premier volume est consacré à la Corse: "Récit de voyage peu de temps après l'annexion de l'île. Il raconte son voyage en bateau de Livourne à Bastia puis son séjour chez le comte de Marbeuf. Il fait un rappel de l'annexion et s'attarde sur le personnage de Pascal Paoli et son frère Clément. Il établit un tableau de la Corse et de ses habitants en 1774, évoque les richesses de l'île et les traits de caractère de sa population : la sobriété, le goût de la vengeance, les superstitions..." (Universita di Corsica, CNRS en ligne). Le second volume contient des mémoires sur des sujets scientifiques et économiques, mais aussi d'ésotérisme, ainsi qu'une correspondance. (Starace, 'Bibliografia della Corsica', 4328). Traces de restaurations à la reliure. Petit accroc de papier à la dernière page. Très bon exemplaire, très frais, relié à époque, grand de marges.

Edition originale partagée avec le "Bureau du Journal de Musique" de cet opéra en quatre actes que Gluck composa sur un livret de Nicolas-François Guillard, représenté pour la première fois à l'Académie Royale de Musique le 18 mai 1779. Les répétitions de l'opéra de Gluck furent suivies avec passion. Le jour de la première, le 18 mai 1779, Marie-Antoinette vint en personne à l'Opéra où elle fut reçue selon le cérémonial ancien, précédée jusqu'à sa loge par les directeurs de l'Opéra porteurs de flambeaux. Le livret de Guillard est inspiré de "L’Iphigénie en Tauride" de Claude Guimond de La Touche, librement repris d'Euripide. (Fétis, 2682. Hopkinson, ‘Bibliography of the Works of Gluck’, 46A(a).

In-folio (323 x 250 mm), plein vélin teinté vert de l'époque, dos lisse, (1) f. de titre, (1) f. "catalogue de musique Deslauriers", 279 p., entièrement gravé. Edition originale partagée avec le "Bureau du Journal de Musique" de cet opéra que Gluck considérait lui-même comme son chef-d'œuvre et qu'il composa sur un livret de Philippe Quinault, d'après "Gerusalemme liberata" du Tasse, livret déjà mis en musique par Lully en 1685. Représenté pour la première fois le 23 septembre 1777 à l'Académie Royale de Musique, il s'agit du quatrième opéra de la "période parisienne" de Gluck. C'est à l'occasion de la représentation de cet opéra que la querelle entre gluckistes et piccinnistes éclata. (Fétis, 2683. Hopkinson, ‘Bibliography of the Works of Gluck’, 45A. RISM A/I/3 G2679). Provenance : Jean-Frédéric-Auguste Lemiere de Corvey (1771-1832), avec petite signature à la plume "J.F.A. Le Miere, rue Grammont n°13".
