howard: (1874-1939) english archaeologist and egyptologist who discovered the tomb of tutankhamun in 1922. an interesting autograph manuscript, unsigned, eighteen pages (mostly written to the rectos of the feint ruled sheets of paper, neatly removed from a notebook), small 8vo, n.p., n.d., in pencil. carter´s working manuscript, with many deletions and alterations, largely reads in chronological order (the first pages are paginated 1-10) although the later pages contain sentences and paragraphs (some repeated from earlier pages in the manuscript) which are disjointed and were evidently extracted from a larger work, carter re-writing passages in order to polish his narrative. the manuscript reads, in part, ´perhaps the reader may not be displeased if i here attempt to acquaint him with something of the life during summer residence in upper egypt. during the very hot spells [when the thermometer runs between a minimum of 95 f and a maximum of 115 f] and it is sufficiently oppresive (sic) to occasion considerable lassitude, the tedium of each day may be described in a few words. at half-past four in the morning one is awakened by the first glimmer of light perceptible.....then at 5 pm (sic; am) suddenly the sun´s rise appears above the horizon decking everything with its golden light. the first hour or so of morning possess a charm; but long before midday has arrived this apparent freshness is succeeded by intense sunshine. everything is turned into heat, and at noon you are obliged to creep under cover.....in the evening you sally forth, but by seven o´clock darkness is complete. the moon, if there be one, then becomes a great luxury.....generally speaking the heat of the summer months at western thebes....is not so oppresive (sic) as one might expect. there is, however, one great drawback, and a source of much discomfort, this arises from sunset winds......thus, after sundown, when the atmosphere within the house becomes oppressive, at times almost unberable, these winds detract from the comfort of enjoying the evening air.....when young and fit the body easily withstands these physical trials, in fact, the process of perspiring resulting from the heat dissipates most bodily ailments and generally speaking one is fitter in the warmer weather than during the winter. a far greater trial lies in the monotonous life during those summer   months  in upper egypt. the passing of months on end without companionship. the loneliness can at times become intolerable and without some mental interest or occupation it would, i believe, be suicidal. fortunately for me....i had plenty of interests.....more than enough to keep me occupied......the rising of the nile, which begins about the period of the summer solstice in june, and attains its greatest height about the autumnal equinox in september. this annual flood breeds thousands - one may say millions without exaggerating - of gnats amd midges, which are attracted at dark by your lamp and make any recreation like reading impossible. added to these pests at night are the mosquitoes and the terrible sand-fly (of the dipterous family, psychodidae......during the moonlight nights, which are so glorious in egypt, i used to sail.....in a small sailing boat......a somewhat crazy craft from which i watched the flocks of pelican fishing......by lying on the bottom of the boat, under the cover of some straw, one could at times bump into these enormous gregarious fish-eating birds......prior to my post as inspector-general of the department of antiquities for upper egypt i was free to spend the hot summer months in europe or england. but the prosecution of my new duties would not allow of such a luxury......i devoted much of my attention to studying the methods and customs of illicit diggers.....who were inveterate tomb-robbing- in.....this particular section of my work, i soon began to recognise the importance and urgency of a far greater source of trouble than illicit diggers that had to be dealt with, and that was a means of preventing the ever increasing conservation against the destruction of ancient monuments, especially the cutting out of sculptured reliefs and fresco paintings from the walls of tomb-chapels.....to sell to the unsuspecting collector whose primary object was the acquisition of antiquities.....a perfect chapel would be hacked and disfigured in one night.....but though hundreds - nay, thousands - of tombs have been opened, what remains of them today is a few hundred. the rest have been destroyed.....by the modern marauders......the natural inclination was to put steel gates upon all the more important and interesting chapels, which i commenced by doing wherever my funds made it possible. but in most cases this form of protection was of very little avail for the rock in which the chapels were excavated were of a much softer nature than the steel gate, thus to force an entrance was quite easy. as an instance when the actual chapel was built of mud brick our iron or steel gate was as useless as a wooden door. the trouble was the national feeling, or lack of feeling, towards antiquities......until one could get an adequate law created imposing a heavy punishment in the case of such outrages, these monuments were at the mercy of these inveterate tomb destroyers - there was no adequate means of fighting them........i believe, i acquired to a certain extent their good opinion, and some of their confidence; though not to such an extent as to prevent my having to contend with many official difficulties......except with subjects they thought you were acquainted with..... clearing that shaft took the greater part of another two months. my description can give you no idea of the tediousness of the work: the fact, for instance, there was no means of arriving at any conclusion as to how deep we should have to go, nor the amount of extra material that would be required, made it all the more wearisome. however, at the end of november, the good news at last came. at the depth of rather more than 100 feet, the workmen reached the bottom and revealed a doorway carefully sealed up with slabs of limestone. i examined it & found that the masonry by which it was closed had been built with due care. i said to the foreman \"this, without doubt, is the entrance to the tomb-chamber\". he nodded his assent and muttered a prayer. my desire to remove a stone and peep through was almost irresistible. the foreman gave me a look of keen curiosity with which...... by that time i was able to converse with the people among whom i was residing with tolerable ease......the diversions of the village.....where at times one can listen to reciters of romances, commit the subjects to memory, they afford attractive entertainment and are often lightly amusing.....i devoted much of my attention to the customs of the illicit digger among the inhabitants, and in an intercourse of two years with these people, i soon found that all the information i received amounted to very little.....´ a manuscript of fascinating content, parts of which are almost certainly unpublished, relating to carter´s time in egypt, the challenges he faced, and the discoveries he made. some light age wear and a few minor faults, generally vg \n carter published a number of books

the franciscan privileges contained in their constitution, and this constitution is specified in another papal bull which begins inter cunctas. inter cunctas was promulgated by benedict xi in february 1304, two months before inter ceteros ordines. it revoked the previous constitution of the franciscans, specified in the bull super cathedram of boniface viii, and redefined the rights of both the franciscans and the dominicans, covering such areas as preaching, hearing confessions and burying the dead. the text of inter cunctas is printed in le registre be benoit xi (no. 1170, cols. 724-720).

painter´s elder son, had passed away on 10 th february 1914. his death, coupled with that of monet´s second wife, alice, just a few years earlier in 1911, left monet in a state of depression. it was also during this period that monet began to develop the first signs of possible cataracts. 1914 was also the year in which monet drew up plans to construct a new, large studio that he could use to create a ´decorative cycle of paintings devoted to the water garden´ at giverny which, of course, included several paintings of water lilies."},"estimateMax":4000,"lotNumber":"957","title":{"es":"monet claude:

of letters relating to one of the most famous and iconic paintings in the history of impressionist art. g to vg, 3 \n manet´s olympia (1863) was first exhibited at the 1865 paris salon where it immediately caused controversy. the subject of the painting, olympia, is a white prostitute, seen reclining in a full-length naked pose on her bed, while being attended to by her black maid. olympia´s confrontational gaze towards the viewer sparked shock amongst the public in 1865, however the painting later became appreciated as one of manet´s masterpieces. this was certainly the opinion of monet, who played the greatest part in the campaign intended to have olympia purchased through subscription and then to have it accepted by the french government for display in the louvre. monet´s campaign commenced in 1889 and by february 1890 the artist had raised around 20,000 francs for the acquisition of the painting. however, french law prevented the louvre from exhibiting works until their creators were ten years deceased (manet died in 1883) and therefore olympia was first kept in the musée du luxembourg. it finally entered the louvre in 1907, fullfilling monet´s wishes.  \n autograph letters by monet on the subject of olympia , most of which were addressed to friends in his artistic circle, are highly desirable and each of the present three examples display individual merits in both their exceptional content and associations."},"estimateMax":60000,"lotNumber":"962","title":{"es":"monet claude: (1840-1926) monet on his quest to have olympia purchased for the state ´ i can

man: (1890-1976) american visual artist, a significant contributor to the dada and surrealist movements and a renowned pioneering fashion and portrait photographer. the original typescript manuscript of man ray´s autobiography self-portrait , with numerous manuscript corrections and substantial alternate readings, with accompanying carbon copies of many chapters (also with manuscript corrections), together with a series of autograph and typescript working notes, and further including a few pieces of correspondence between man ray and his publishers, the atlantic monthly press. the manuscript, typed by man ray himself (the final page bearing the manuscript note ´typed by man ray´ ) in paris from 1960-62, is loosely contained in a number of paper folders, each annotated and titled by the artist (designated as a first draft or first copy ), which include part i new york (originally the painter ) comprising over eighty pages of typescript manuscript, in a paper folder (extensive and heavy tears to the edges) with manuscript title self portrait by man ray (first draft) and further marked part i new york (p. 1-81) at the head. with a second copy of the same, retitled new york, and also including an additional eight pages, originally a continuation of the painter , but later marked as the beginning of part ii: paris ; nine pages of typescript manuscript in a paper folder annotated by man ray 1st chapter in part ii pp.82-89 ; sixteen pages of typescript manuscript for a chapter entitled paul poiret - the portrait that was never made and marked as pp. 90-106; thirteen pages of typescript manuscript for a chapter entitled the true story of kiki of montparnasse ; fifteen pages of typescript manuscript for a chapter entitled contacts with the aristocracy and marked as pp. 120-134; and other typescript manuscripts for chapters entitled american & english writers ; painters & sculptors ; dada films & surrealism ; the depressing thirties (later altered to the fateful thirties and finally retitled as occupations & evasions ) representing the final chapter of part ii; thirty-two pages of typescript manuscript entitled i discover hollywood (part iii) followed by the final chapter, paris again (part iv). in all the typescript manuscript and related carbon copies (some on onion skin paper) amounts to around seven hundred 4to pages, typed to the rectos only, much of the manuscript dedicated to man ray´s time in paris and populated with numerous recollections relating to the dada and surrealist movements, as well as his friends and contemporaries including pablo picasso, marcel duchamp, francis picabia, kiki de montparnasse (alice prin), lee miller, gertrude stein, salvador dali, james joyce, tristan tzara, paul eluard, andre breton and may others. also included is an earlier folio typescript manuscript, with holograph corrections, of twenty-eight pages, entitled paul poiret (1922) , written by man ray in hollywood, california, and dated 15 th february 1949 (annotated to the verso of the final page to be rewritten (done oct. 21-61) see self-portait, 1963 ). together with man ray´s manuscript working notes comprising around forty pages (mainly 8vo) and covering a wide spectrum of individuals and subjects including pablo picasso, dora maar ( ´dora gives up photography for painting, contrary to a book in which a painter, upon seeing picasso, gives up painting for photography´ ), marcel duchamp ( ´my oldest friend´ ) and others, also making more general observations, ´i must keep in mind that i am doing a self portrait, therefore all references to my contemporaries should not be taken as criticism or evaluation of them, but as a clearer portrayal of myself\u2026..after recounting these experiences, controversies, i hope my friends will revise their opinion of me \u2013 that i have been too modest \u2013 not pushed myself forward enough. rather it has been the hopelessness of convincing the doubtful ones of the equal value of all efforts \u2013 or their futility´ , and in a passage headed ending stating ´if i have spoken at greatest length about those the least known by the majority, it complements my self portrait. at picasso´s one day a visitor lauded him fervently saying he was the best known living painter \u2013 and what did i do, he asked? evidently i was the best unknown living painter´ . other miscellaneous pages of typescript include an initial summary of man ray´s autobiography, in part, ´following is a table of contents for an autobiography of twenty years in paris; with some specimen pages on my arrival from new york. also a chapter on my meeting with paul poiret, the famous couturier, in which is depicted his gradual decadence, and the author´s own frustration as a photographer. each chapter may run from fifteen to thirty pages, which would make about a four hundred page book. there are many other names of personalities that may be included, not mentioned in the table of contents, without unduly prolonging the book, unless other episodes were added, which could easily run the book to seven or eight hundred pages. the use of photographs made in this period is optional. i have all my files and they contain many portraits of the people mentioned. if about twenty were used, it would liven up considerably the book\u2026.the photographs are to be regarded as documents, not as reproductions of works of art´ , a brief text entitled originals, graphics, multiples , and another entitled dadamade , dated 8 th july 1958. the few pieces of correspondence include a t.l.s., man ray , two pages (separate leaves), 4to, paris, 19 th july 1962, to seymour lawrence. man ray states that he has taken note of his correspondent´s letter ´and modified or deleted passages (in red ink on my copy of the manuscript) enclosing the pages involved [still present] ´ , explaining ´i have tried to eliminate all references to extra-marital relations as regards donna [his first wife] and myself, clem randolph and mary reynolds. the latter is dead; i have lost track of the others including loupov \u2013 do not know whether they are still alive. the names donna and loupov are modifications of the actual names: adon lacroix and adolf wolff´ and further remarking ´i do not know how to treat donna´s defection and our separation unless i eliminate the whole episode, the most dramatic in my life. if she is still alive i do not think consulting her would arrange matters \u2013 she might blow up but it would be without consequence\u2026.she is now, if alive, a woman of about 75 years´. man ray continues ´there is one other pre-marital episode: my meeting with wife juliet in hollywood, but she is signing a waver (sic) to all libel action! i have just thought again on the subject of donna. she was not really married to loupov (wolff) before, had her child with him, and after our separation she lived with other men for sixteen years until on my visit to n.y. i arranged our divorce to please her. she would not dare to make trouble if all this was brought up\u2026..i regret only having to eliminate the sentence \u201cthat night i lost my virginity\u2026..\u201d we can´t put it in later \u2013 the reader would laugh at me if i put it in after our legal wedding \u2013 i wouldn´t mind the hoax if it avoided the libel risk!´ and concludes his letter by commenting on a book by josephson, ´there are many interesting passages, and others completely pure fantasy, as in the description of my first exhibition sponsored by the dadaists. however, i have told the true story. i must put josephson in the class of writers who try to present fiction as if it were fact, in contrast to those who present fact as if it were fiction, as i flatter myself to be the case´ . also included is a t.l.s. by esther yntema, associate editor at the atlantic monthly press, to man ray, dated 27 th june 1962, regarding the final details of the publication, heavily annotated by man ray with his responses, and accompanied by an unsigned carbon typed copy of his reply, confirming the dedication ( ´for juliet´ ), the epigraphs, making corrections to illustrations, and discussing the dust jacket ( ´i like the idea of the handprint on back. use as pale a gold paper for the jacket as possible´ ). a remarkable archive of man ray´s own working papers and manuscripts prepared for

(je précise: vous comparez 2 pièces. 2 cas: ∝ ) elles s\u2019équilibrent. alors en comparant l\u2019une d'elles à l\u2019une de 2 que vous avez laissées de côté: où bien elles s'équilibrent et c\u2019est la dernière qui est la mauvaise. ou elles ne s'équilibrent pas et la mauvaise est cette pièce même que vous venez de prendre pour la dernière pesée. β ) elles ne s'équilibrent pas. dans ce cas vous prenez par exemple la pièce lourde et vous la comparez à l\u2019une des 2 autres. si elle l\u2019emporte encore, c\u2019est elle la mauvaise. si elle s\u2019équilibre, c\u2019est l\u2019autre pièce de la 2e pesée qui est la mauvaise. b) les plateaux ne s'équilibrent pas. ceci est le cas intéressant. posons bien la situation pour la résoudre. vous avez donc trois groupes. un groupe de 4, où vous avez la mauviase pièce, si elle est la plus lourde. un groupe de 4 où elle se trouve si elle est la plus légère. un groupe de 4, sûrement \u201csain\u201d. 2eme pesée . voici comment procéder. [a ce stade de la lettre, lacan a ajouté une rapide esquisse pour illustrer sa théorie] vous allez substituer dans le plateau lourd 3 pièces saines (prises dans le 3ᵉ groupe) à 3 pièces de ce plateau. puis placer ces 3 dernières pièces dans le plateau léger, d'où vous sortez bien entendu 3 pièces. la figure ci-dessus signifie cette double translation. alors 3 cas a) le plateau lourd reste le plus lourd: donc c\u2019est que l\u2019une des deux pièces qui n'ont pas bougé (appelons-les ∝ et β ) est la mauvaise pièce \u2014pièce plus lourde si c\u2019est∝, plus légère si c\u2019esf β. point qu\u2019éclaircirait de la façon la plus facile une 3eme pesée. (je n'ai pas besoin, je pense, de préciser. car il faul que je parte pour l\u2019hôpital et on vient de me déranger par la petite employée de la librairie ... qui vient de \u201ctourner de l\u2019œil\u201d). b) les 2 plateaux s'équilibrent: alors la mauvaise pièce est parmi les 3 que j\u2019ai fait passer d'un plateau (lourd) dans l\u2019autre (léger): groupe∝ et elle est ne pièce lourde...... 3eme pesée . qu´il s´agisse de trouver une pièce lourde ou légère parmi 3 autres, cette 3e pesée le résoudra aussi facilement. que les deux pieces que nous comparerons entre elles s´équilibrent ou se manifestant inégales. merci beaucoup, mon cher, de m´avoir donné ce petit sujet de tracas et d´amusement´ (translation: ´forgive me, my dear raymond, for having bothered you last night: but caught between my laziness and the torment of unaccomplished effort, i needed, as they say, to dot the i's and cross the t's. so here is what i found when i returned from the friends' house from where i made my call to you. 1st weighing . you put the coins on each pan of the scales. two cases: a) the pans balance each other out. so the wrong coin is among the remaining 4. it is clear that in two more weighings you would easily detect the wrong coin among the 4. (i specify, you compare 2 coins. 2 cases: ∝) they balance each other out. so by comparing one of them to one of the two that you left out: either they balance each other out and the last one is the wrong one. or they do not balance each other out and the wrong one is the very coin that you just took for the last weighing. β) they do not balance. in this case, you take the heavy piece, for example, and compare it to one of the other two. if it is still heavier, it is the wrong one. if it balances, the other piece from the second weighing is the wrong one. b) the trays do not balance. this is the interesting case. let's set out the situation in order to solve it. so you have three groups. a group of 4, where you have the lousy piece, if it is heavier. a group of 4 where it is if it is the lightest. a group of 4, surely \u2018healthy\u2019 2nd weighing . here's how to proceed. [at this stage of the letter, lacan added a quick sketch to illustrate his theory] you are going to substitute 3 good coins (taken from the 3rd group) for 3 coins on the heavy tray. then place these last 3 coins on the light tray, from which you will of course remove 3 coins. the figure above represents this double translation. so 3 cases a) the heavy tray remains the heaviest: so one of the two pieces that have not moved (let's call them ∝ and β) is the wrong piece - heavier piece if it is ∝, lighter if it is β. a point that would be clarified most easily by a third weighing. (i don't think i need to explain. because i have to leave for the hospital and i have just been disturbed by the little employee from the bookshop... who has just \u2018taken a nap\u2019). b) the 2 trays balance each other out: so the wrong coin is among the 3 that i have moved from one (heavy) tray to the other (light): group a and it is a heavy coin......... 3rd weighing . whether it is a question of finding a heavy or light coin among 3 others, this 3rd weighing will solve it just as easily. whether the two pieces that we will compare are balanced or unequal. thank you very much, my dear, for giving me this little subject of hassle and fun´ ). a wonderful letter; although lacan was sometimes accused of obscurity, even of extravagance, this letter proves that his intellectual constructions were based on an impressive capacity for analysis.vg \n raymond queneau (1903-1976) french novelist, poet, critic and editor.  \n queneau and lacan had known each other since the 1930s, when they attended the famous kojève seminar on hegel's philosophy together. another bond united them; sylvia, jacques lacan's wife, was a childhood friend of jeannine, raymond queneau's wife. but what fundamentally brought them together was the same interest in language games (which they each used in a different way) and problems in mathematics and logic, the present letter being a perfect example of this.  it is understandable that jacques lacan, while he was at a friend´s house, found himself confronted with some mathematical or logical problem. lacan evidently telephoned queneau, who undoubtedly replied and submitted another brainteaser for his consideration. it is a classic puzzle. there are 12 coins that are absolutely identical in appearance. one of them is fake, and of a different weight (but it is not known whether it is heavier or lighter). to find out which is the fake coin, all you have is a set of scales with two pans and three weights. taken in by the game, lacan began to think about the problem on his way home from his friend´s house and the very next day he wrote this long letter that brilliantly resolved the question. in a playful way, it is a striking illustration of his power of reasoning, his logical rigour and his agility of mind."},"estimateMax":4000,"lotNumber":"1142","title":{"es":"lacan jacques: (1901-1981) on solving a challenging puzzle of logic"},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/56984/lot/138256/view","tags":["escollectibles_autographs","escollectibles_all","escollectibles"],"directSalePrice":3000,"soldPrice":3000,"lastUpdate":"2026-07-01T05:48:06.186Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"\u20ac3,000 -

as there is no hope of having any bread in this place where the year has been bad and the land scarce........we were all the more worried because we were alarmed yesterday evening when we saw this land and it seemed to us that the violent winds that had been prevailing must have forced the enemies to leave this place even if they had intended to come here. but after all the trouble i went through last night and in the morning, we have reason to believe that it was the brazilian fleet that we saw. i have two boats outside which should give me news shortly. i do not know, sir, whether you will have learned that the enemies have separated at cape st. vincent and that twenty-five of their biggest and best ships, reinforced with crew, have sailed for america, and that the rest of their army has sailed to the north-west, which is probably that of england. it seemed to us that this news should remove all concern. however, we have not neglected anything here, and the work on the batteries has continued, because it should be the safety of the country and of the ships on the water when we leave here. on the news that i had, which seemed very certain to me, that the enemies were going to america, i thought that it would be of very important service to france and spain if the american colonies of the two kingdoms were warned. i believe sir that you are aware of the state of our islands, and in particular of st christopher, which on its own would have great difficulty in maintaining the superiority of the english colony there. there are even other measures to be taken on the other islands. the governor has been appointed but he is still in france.....this has led me to take the decision to send a freshly tinkered fregate first to martinique to warn all the french islands, and to stow it on the spanish coast and to sail through the bahama channel to return to france, while the intendant of the islands will send a small vessel from the port to deliver this news

october 1702 off the coast of galicia in spain. the battle followed an anglo-dutch attempt, led by admiral george rooke, to capture the spanish port of cadiz a month earlier in an effort to secure a nabal base in the iberian peninsula.  the amphibious assault proved a disaster, however, and having learned that the spanish fleet loaded with money and goods from america had entered the bay of vigo in northern spain, rooke attacked the treasure ships, despite the fact that the spanish vessels were protected by french ships of the line.  this naval battle was a crushing success for the allies and a major disaster for the french. t he entire french escort fleet, under the command of chateaurenault, together with the spanish galleons, had been destroyed or captured.  however, as most of the treasure had been unloaded before the attack, the capture of most of the silver cargo had eluded rooke. nevertheless, the victory was a welcome morale boost for the allies and helped persuade portugal's king peter ii to abandon his previous treaty with the french and join the grand alliance."},"estimateMax":2000,"lotNumber":"1164","title":{"es":"rousselet de chateaurenault francois louis:
