Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria - a transcription of a telegram by the German Emperor Wilhelm II reporting about his visit to the Tsar in 1912 Double sheet, dated "Anfang Juli 1912" in red pencil on the upper margin, the telegram text in black ink with introduction "Nachstehendes Telegramm wurde soeben von der kaiserlich deutschen Botschaft hieramts übergeben: an den Kaiser von Österreich und apostolisch. King of Hungary. Majesty, I have to inform you that I have been informed for both of us by my Entrevue. Found Tsar tidy and communicative. [...] The cheerfulness and vigorous appearance of the heir to the throne are the best denial of the unfavorable rumors circulating about his condition. Both I and the Imperial Chancellor had a series of detailed conversations with the Tsar as well as with the Ministers Mr. Kokovtsov and Mr. Sazonov. [...] I take with me the gratifying conviction that, whatever turn the Italian-Turkish war may take, Russia will not allow herself to be led into a policy of surprises and unrest. The willingness to act as a brake on any warlike activity on the part of the small Balkan states has once again found definite expression. [Kind regards from your Wilhelm.". In addition, a letter from the Secret Civil Cabinet of His Majesty the German Emperor and King of Prussia with the sending of a "photographic picture" to the Court Secretary of the Austrian Emperor, Stefan von Pápay, as a souvenir of the German Emperor's visit to the imperial and royal maneuvers in Güns in 1893.

Henry Bone, RA, British 1755-1834- Danaë, after Titian; enamel on copper, inscribed 'London/ April 1812/ Painted for the Marquis of Lansdown by/ Henry Bone RA. Enamel painter in Ordinary/ to His Majesty and Enamel painter to H.R.H./ the Prince Regent after the Original by Titian/ in the Collection of the Earl of Darnley' to the reverse, 31.7 x 22.6 cm. Provenance: The collection of the Earl of Darnley. The artist's sale, London, Christie's, 30 June 1832, lot 66. Private Collection, UK. Exhibited: London, Royal Academy, 1810, no. 652. Literature: R. Walker, 'Henry Bone's Pencil Drawings in the National Gallery', in The Walpole Society, 1999, p. 359, cat. no. 672. Note: Bone was known for creating some of the largest enamel paintings of his time, achieving recognition in 1801 when he became an associate of the Royal Academy and was appointed enamel painter to King George III. Bone went on to retain this position through the reigns of George IV and William IV. In 1811 Bone was elected as a Royal Academician, and this same year completed a large enamel painting after Titian’s Bacchus and Ariadne. That picture was sold at Christie's London on the 4th July 2013 (lot 2). This present work by Bone is also derived from the work of Titian, and depicts the mythological princess Danaë, as narrated by Ovid and Boccaccio. The Venetian painter Titian and his workshop made at least six versions of Danaë (or Danaë and the Shower of Gold), between about 1544 and the 1560s. Ovid recounts how Danaë was confined to a bronze tower following a prophecy that her firstborn would kill her father. Depicted in this work is the moment that Danaë is seduced and becomes pregnant by Zeus, who descended from Mount Olympus to seduce her in the form of a shower of gold. The presence of Cupid on the left-hand side is emblematic of Zeus's desire.
