Whitehead's brother Philip was employed by the Bank of England from 1797 to 1810. During his employment at the Bank Philip Whitehead "adopted an extravagant lifestyle" and evidence came to light that he had defrauded Robarts & Co. by "forging an acceptance to a Bill." He was charged with forgery in 1811 and executed on 29 January 1812. The news of her brother's conviction was kept from his sister Sarah as long as possible. Learning of the execution Sarah Whitehead's mental health became unstable and she began to visit the Bank daily asking if Phillip was there. This continued until 1818 when the Directors offered Whitehead a financial grant on the condition that she stopped coming to the bank. Whitehead wore black crepe clothing which was a sign of mourning and as a result became known as the "Black Nun." To this day Whitehead's ghost reputedly haunts the Bank of England as well as the area on Threadneedle Street nearby. The myth of Whitehead's ghost appears in the poem New Year Letter by W. H. Auden. unknown

rif. 30018401Canton ca. 1800-1820 Lam-Qua. Red flax mat six goauche color paintings on pith paper each 10 x 7 cm two per mat very good clean two with marginal chipsimage not affected meticulously color drawn in much detail. R A R E . . . THE SUITE OF SIX COLOR GOUACHE PAINTINGS . . Begins with the a painting of Imperial police bringing the accused to where he will be punished. He wears a cangue or a large wooden collar clamped around his neck with his crime written on paper which is then glued to the wood. Image two shows the guilty on his knees being beaten with a leather strap by the punisher. Image three shows the policeman pulling a chain connected to a metal ring on the neck of the accused. The next shows the image of a large rock connected to a chain and the accused sitting on the rock with the chain fastened to his leg. The fifth shows the magistrate pointing his finger at the guilty as he while being admonished the guilty is forced to kneel on small rocks while a policeman holds ears. The last image shows the executioner with a long sword at the ready while the accused has a very sour look on his face his hands tied behind his back with his crime written on a long piece of wood at his side. It was common to parade the guilty through the streets for all to see the criminal as he was led to the execution grounds. . LAM-QUA TING-QUA SCHOOL: The works are done in the Canton style of Lam-Qua and his brother Ting-qua. See item #2 below for a link. . Ting-qua born ca. 1809; flourished 1840-70. He was the brother of Lam-Qua 1801-1860 and probably a close relation of Spoilum. Ting-qua's studio at 16 China Street Guangzhou was perhaps the most prolific source of Chinese export paintings of its time. Working in a manner influenced by Western artistic traditions Ting-qua and the painters of his studio restricted themselves to gouache and water-colors perhaps to avoid rivalry with Lam-qua's oil paintings. Their pictures which were often sold in sets." Quoted from item #2 below. . PITH PAPER: The paintings were done on pith paper. "Pith paper or rice paper" a misnomer as it is sometimes known is made from the inner pith of the plant Tetrapanex papyrifera which is a member of the Araliaceae family. The plant is a shrub native to Southern China and Taiwan. As well as a painting material pith paper was used to make artificial flowers and surgical dressings." Cited from item #1 below. . THE LEGAL SYSTEM OF CHINA IN EARLY 19TH CENTURY: Justice was swift and usually done to make an example of the accused. If the accused pleaded guilty and confessed his punishment was lessoned. If he persisted in innocence even though he was not guilty his punishment was more severe. Showing a cooperative attitude was of advantage. Nearly all people accused of a crime were assumed to be guilty. The punishment for various crimes were commonly known and justice was meted out by the magistrate. . RARITY: Gouache pith paintings are now rare most were damaged cracked and brittle rendering them useless. The few that survived are considered RARE and uncommon. The paintings were drawn with much skill and patience and were for the most part drawn for and sold to foreigners in the treaty ports of China in the early 19th century. Drawn with a fine brush in vivid colors the paintings depicted things that would fascinate foreigners and encourage them to bring home as souvenirs. The current examples often caught the eye of foreigners who may have actually seen some form of public punishment or execution. . CONDITION: The work is remarkable clean and solid. As usual when ever pith paper is fastened at the corners there is a reaction to moisture in the air and the paper will expand or contract and thus snap its connection. By and large these works are not damaged except for two corners where there was some loss. Please see link #1 below on how to mount and care for pith paintings. These can be re-matted per the link and preserved on acid-free paper and reframed for display. . Color photos are posted to our website. . BIBLIOGRAPHY: . C.L.

1943rif. 277008Kamnik district Slovenia: Tehnika RK VI 1943. 30pp. 8vo mimeographed text with images original tan wrappers with mimeographed cover. This rare surviving pamphlet from World War II was produced by the Yugoslav Partisans the most accomplished armed resistance movement against the Axis occupation of Europe. Starting out as a guerilla group the Partisans soon created a complete underground society based on Communist principles including schools government and medical institutions financial systems and publishing presses. This pamphlet produced by one such press likely hidden in the mountains or forests of Slovenia addresses an emergent need in such a new clandestine society: that for maps. It proceeds in logical order: geographical vocabulary instructions for making field maps and later more sophisticated and symbolic drafting techniques. Within this technical know-how it also communicates tactical military advice that the Partisan guerillas employed in their battles with Axis armies. This tactical quality of the publication is most in evidence in the pamphlets many striking diagrams which demonstrate the importance of visual knowledge in situations of survival. This pamphlet was one of many Partisan publications designed to educate protect and encourage members of the movement. It is particularly fascinating for its simple means of production since the secrecy of Partisan operations limited them to mechanical methods such as mimeographs--in witness here--as well as heliotypes linocuts and typewriting. Given its fragility the pamphlet is in excellent condition with clean text. Slight stains and some very small tears in margins. As one of the few Partisan publications on cartography this pamphlet is a rare and fascinating record of the World War II resistance. Tehnika RK VI unknown

1579Acquaforte su ferro, 1579 circa. Primo stato di due, avanti la numerazione. Pubblicata nel Catalogus gloriae mundi, di Barthélemy de Chasseneuz (ca. 1480-1541) – noto anche con la forma latinizzata del nome Bartholomaeus Cassaneus, edito Francoforte nel 1579 da Sigmund Feyerabend. La tavola raffigura un re seduto su un trono che tiene uno scettro sullo sfondo centrale, a sinistra uno scriba, ai lati della stanza i consiglieri del re, soldati in piedi in primo piano. Inserita in una cornice ovale, gli angoli riempiti con motivi ornamentali. Il Catalogus gloriae mundi, tipico prodotto dell’enciclopedismo rinascimentale, opera umanistica e giuridica, si incentrava sull’onore, problema per definizione interdisciplinare e di vastissimo successo nella pubblicistica cinquecentesca. Ma nel saggio di Chasseneuz il concetto di onore divenne addirittura la griglia di una vera e propria enciclopedia di tutto il creato. In dodici libri l’intera esperienza secolare e celeste si condensava compatta, ritrovando intorno all’onore il proprio archetipico motivo d’ordine: I. considerazioni generali sull’onore II. onori e ordini dell’uomo e della donna in generale III. onori e ordini degli spiriti celesti e infernali IV. onori e ordini degli ecclesiastici V. onori e ordini dei Principi VI. onori e ordini degli ufficiali del sacro palazzo VII. onori e ordini dei magistrati e di tutti gli ufficiali di giustizia VIII. onori e ordini dei nobili IX. onori e ordini dei militari X. onori e ordini delle scienze e dei letterati XI. onori e ordini dei plebei e degli artigiani XII. onori e ordini di pietre, vegetali, animali e di tutti i rimanenti esseri, celesti e terrestri. Di famiglia borghese, Bathélemy de Chasseneuz studiò diritto alle Università di Dole, Poitiers, Bologna, Torino e Pavia. Dopo l’occupazione del Ducato di Milano da parte di Carlo VIII vi svolse incarichi giudiziari, conseguì nel 1502 il dottorato in utroque ed accompagnò Charles d’Amboise nella sua spedizione contro Bologna. Esercitò poi l’avvocatura ad Autun, divenendo avvocato del Re e baglivo dell’abbazia di Saint Martin d’Autun. Consigliere nel parlamento di Digione dal 1525, nel parlamento di Parigi dal 1531, fu presidente in quello di Aix dal 1532. Morì nel 1541. Di lui rimangono a stampa una raccolta di pareri legali, i commentari sulle consuetudini del Ducato di Borgogna e, appunto, il Catalogo della gloria del mondo. La prima edizione dell’opera fu pubblicata nel 1529. Nel 1579 Sigmund Feyerabend, tipografo di Francoforte, decise di pubblicare una nuova edizione dell’opera, arricchita dalle illustrazioni realizzate ad hoc da Jost Amman allo scopo di rendere più facilmente comprensibili le teorie del giurista e valorizzare maggiormente l’opera. Magnifica prova, ricca di toni, impressa su carta vergata coeva, rifilata al rame, tracce di colla al verso, per il resto in ottimo stato di conservazione. Bibliografia The New Hollstein, Part VI.87.144.23.i, p. 87. Etching on iron, 1579, unlettered. First state, of two, before the numbering 6 added lower right in the plate. The plate depicts a king sitting on a throne holding a sceptre in centre background, on the left a scribe, on either side of the room the king's advisors, soldiers standing in the foreground. Set in an oval frame, the corners filled with strapwork ornaments. A fine impression, printed on contemporary laid paper, trimmed to the paltemark, very good condition. Printed in Catalogus Gloriae Mundi by Barthélemy de Chasseneuz, printed in 1579, Frankfurt - Sigmund Feyerabend. Barthélemy de Chasseneuz (1480–1541) was a lawyer, and he was neither a narrow-minded one nor a bad one – quite the opposite. He had attended French and Italian universities and had been the student of some of the most famous teachers of his time. The talented legal scholar had acquired experience at the court of the duke of Milan and even at the court of the Pope himself. And yet, he returned to his home country in 1506 where he took up high offices. As his contemporaries, Barthélemy de Chasseneuz was convinced that everything on earth had a precise order. He believed that any kind of dispute arose solely from the fact that humankind was unaware of the exact structure of this order. It was obvious that the King of France was of higher status than a juggler. But what about the King of France and the King of Aragon? Who of them was of higher status? Being a good lawyer, Chasseneuz sat down and studied the sources. He wrote more than 1,000 pages setting out which office held which rank based on all theological, philosophical and legal sources available to him – from the hierarchy of the Heavens to the social ranks of humankind and to animate and inanimate nature. In 1529, this book was published for the first time. Chasseneuz’ book was of huge importance to all those who had to deal with issues of ceremonial protocol. All princes and city councillors had enough money to afford an expensive book. That’s why, at some point during the 70s of the 16th century, Sigmund Feyerabend from Frankfurt decided to publish a new edition of Chasseneuz’ work. He did not simply reprint the first edition, instead, he hired the famous book illustrator Jost Amman to transform Barthélemy de Chasseneuz’ theoretical considerations into impressive – and easily understandable – copper engravings.

1950Acquaforte. Lastra mm 118x152, foglio 160x222 mm. Firma a matita a sinistra Luigi Bart. Titolo a matita in basso a sinistra non ben leggibile. Possiamo ipotizzare Invadenza. L’incisione non è catalogata in nessuno dei numerosi repertori sull’artista da noi consultati; è notorio che la catalogazione delle opere di Bartolini non è ancora completa. Bellissima prova, impressa su carta coeva, piccolo strappo perfettamente restaurato nella parte superiore, leggera abrasione al verso, per il resto in ottimo stato di conservazione. Luigi Bartolini è considerato uno dei maggiori incisori italiani del Novecento, insieme a Giorgio Morandi e Giuseppe Viviani. Oltre ad essere un prolifico incisore (al suo attivo oltre mille acqueforti), fu anche pittore e scrittore. Partecipò sia come pittore che come incisore a diverse edizioni della Biennale di Venezia dal 1928 al 1962. Presente a varie manifestazioni artistiche, sviluppò diverse maniere definite: ‘maniera bionda’, ‘lineare’ e ‘nera’. Ricordiamo soprattutto le acqueforti della serie Marche e della serie Sicilia. Iniziò la sua produzione grafica nel 1914 e il suo stile si rifà alla tradizione naturalistica dell’Ottocento. Molte sue incisioni si possono ricollegare ad alcune opere del Goya, di Telemaco Signorini e di Giovanni Fattori. Eccellente nella rappresentazione della natura morta e del paesaggio, spesso il Bartolini rappresentò dolcemente le cose e gli oggetti più umili, i soggetti di natura più dimessi. In essi ritroviamo il sentimento che diviene immagine e la forma che si sviluppa in espressione. Con Bartolini l’incisione torna ad essere un mezzo di espressione poetica libera dal simbolismo e dal vedutismo allora in voga presso le accademie. Nelle sue acqueforti prevale ora un tratteggio leggero (genere biondo), ora una ricerca del chiaroscuro alla Rembrandt (genere nero). Etching. Plate mm 118x152, sheet 160x222 mm. Signature in pencil on the left Luigi Bart. Title in pencil at lower left not well readable. We can assume Invadenza. This work is not catalogued in any of the several repertories we consulted about the artist; it is well known that the cataloguing of Bartolini's works is not yet complete. Beautiful proof, printed on contemporary paper, small tear perfectly restored in the upper part, light abrasion on the back, otherwise in excellent condition. Born in Cupramontana near Ancona, Luigi Bartolini was the twentieth century Italian etcher, who came closest to the stature of his great rival, Morandi. As a teenager, he saw the collection of etchings, including work by Callot, owned by the Corradi family in Iesi. From 1907 to 1910 Bartolini studied at the Istituto di Belle Arti in Siena, and started to etch c. 1909. He moved to Rome in 1910, where until 1912 he frequented the Accademia di Belle Arti, while also attending lectures on literature and the history of art, and courses on anatomy at the University in Rome. Bartolini studied the etchings of Goya and took lessons on drawing at the Accademia di Spagna. From there, he went to Florence in 1913, where he attended the Scuola del nudo. Bartolini continued his anatomical research, as well as studying architecture, making himself the most assiduous student of all Italian twentieth century printmakers. He also visited the Uffizi and Florentine print dealers to look at the etchings of Rembrandt and Fattori. Bartolini painted his first oils just before the outbreak of the First World War. Although he painted pictures throughout the rest of his career, and was awarded the Premio Marzotto for them in 1956, they have been far eclipsed in fame by his etchings and writings. During the First World War, Bartolini published his first collection of poetry. A very prolific and accomplished writer, in this field he is best known today as the author of the novel, 'Ladri di biciclette' (Bicycle thieves), of 1946, which was quickly turned into a celebrated film by Vittorio de Sica and Cesar Zavattini. After the First World War, Bartolini held a series of minor teaching posts in Macerata, Sassari, Avezzano, Pola, and Caltagirone, while he continued to etch, and started a long career as a polemical journalist and critic of art and architecture. From 1923 to 1929, he wrote for the Naples periodical, 'Cimento', but he also contributed to 'Il Selvaggio', 'Quadrivio', 'Italia letteraria', and 'L'Ambrosiana'. Bartolini's 1924 exhibition of etchings at the Casa d'Arte Bragaglia in Rome was a great success, and later that year he showed 70 etched landscapes of the Marches at the Casa Palazzo di Roma. The following year he visited Paris, where he paid particular attention to the paintings of Van Gogh. Bartolini's political convictions led him to being assaulted by Fascists and hospitalised in 1928. Two years later, he won a prize at the Venice Biennale, where he had exhibited a portfolio of etchings. In 1930, the Turin publisher, Buratti, began to issue a series of portfolios of etchings by contemporary Italian artists under the editorship of Cipriano Oppi, selecting Bartolini for the first album. The following year, Buratti published 'Le carte parlanti', a portfolio of 10 of Bartolini's etchings, which was published in an edition of 20. In 1932, Bartolini shared the first prize at the Prima mostra dell'incisione moderna at the Uffizi with Morandi and Boccioni. His close friend, the leading anti-Fascist art historian, Lionello Venturi, acted as his agent selling his etchings in Paris. Bartolini's correspondence with his compatriots in exile led to his imprisonment, from which he was released on Mussolini's personal intervention. He was then placed under political surveillance. From 1933 to 1938, Bartolini taught in Merano, where he painted and etched in the open air, finding subjects on the banks of the fast flowing Adige. Despite being under political su...
