Gerahmt, dort mit montierter Plakette mit dem Künstlernamen. - Entlang der Kanten vereinzelt mit leichtem Farbabrieb als Spur der Rahmung. Im oberen Bereich der Darstellung mit einem Leinwandeinriss, dieser hinterlegt und retuschiert. Firnis leicht angegilbt. Unter UV eine punktuelle retusche erkennbar. Insgesamt gut. Seestück in frischen Farben und bewegtem Pinselduktus. Der Weg des deutsch-dänischen Malers zur Kunst führte Alfred Jensen zunächst zu Schiffsreisen, die der damals 14-Jährige bereits nach Afrika, Australien und China unternahm. Im Anschluss an die Reise studierte er von 1884 - 1885 Malerei in Hamburg bei Heinrich Leitner. Mit Unterbrechung einer weiteren Schiffsreise führte er sein Studium ab 1897 an der Kunstakademie Kassel bei Emil Neumann fort. Ausgehend von den zahlreichen unmittelbaren Eindrücken auf See setzte sich Jensen in seinem malerischen Werk ausschließlich mit Marinestücken und Schiffsdarstellungen auseinander. Den Darstellungen der Schiffe kommt dabei eine präzise Detailgenauigkeit zu, die mitunter erklärt, warum Jensens Schiffsportraits heute in etlichen Marinemuseen Deutschlands wie in Hamburg, Kiel und Bremerhaven vertreten sind. Oil on canvas. Signed and hardly readable dated. Framed, there with mounted plaque with the artist's name. - Some slight colour abrasion along the edges as traces of framing. A canvas tear in the upper area of the depiction, closed and here and with retouches. Varnish slightly yellowed. One selective retouch recognisable under UV. Good overall. Seascape in fresh colours and lively-like brushstrokes. - The German-Danish painter's path to art initially led Alfred Jensen to travel by ship, which the then 14-year-old undertook to Africa, Australia and China. Following, he studied painting in the class of Heinrich Leitner in Hamburg from 1884 to 1885. After an interruption for another journey, he continued his studies from 1897 at the Kunstakademie Kassel under Emil Neumann. Based on the numerous direct impressions he gained at sea, Jensen focussed exclusively on marine pieces and depictions of ships. The depictions of the ships are characterised by a precise attention to detail, which partly explains why Jensen's ship portraits are today represented in a number of naval museums in Germany, such as Hamburg, Kiel and Bremerhaven.

Samuel L. Clemens Handwritten Notes for a Tom Sawyer Stage Adaptation Unsigned handwritten manuscript notes by Samuel Clemens for a never-performed stage version of 'Tom Sawyer,' three pages, 5.5 x 9, no date but circa 1884, offering a treatment for the dramatic scene in which Tom, Huck, and Becky encounter Injun Joe in the cave. The notes read, in part: "Enter Tom & Huck. Find bag. 'No use now—got to starve.' Tom says 'No.' Examine—money all there. Discover girls asleep. Wake them. Talk. We'll save you. Gives them his crust & some bats...Devilish face of Joe peeks out—will hive those boys—steals behind boys. Girls see him & scream. Boys jump up & stand paralyzed. Then they jump for the rock & the dodging begins for life & death, the girls looking over. (Maybe Tom trips him.) 'Now, Huck.' They fly—Joe pursues, the girls scream." In fine condition. Housed in a handsome custom-made full morocco presentation portfolio, with gilt-stamped spine and title. As early as 1875, Clemens had asked his friend William Dean Howells to dramatize the then still-unpublished Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Howells refused, but Clemens pressed ahead, composed a synopsis of his own to secure copyright and subsequently wrote at least some of the play. While these plans ultimately fell through, in 1883 the author once more attempted to translate his book into a stage success. This time, he managed to complete a dramatic version, and the play was duly copyrighted on February 1, 1884. Although Clemens 'was so pleased with this piece of work that even before he had finished it he was pondering on the cast which might properly perform it and trying to dictate terms,' the great theatre manager Augustin Daly did not take long to reject the chance to stage 'Tom Sawyer,'' and after this 'one hears no more about the author's attempting to dramatize his novel' (cf. Mark Twain's Hannibal, Huck, and Tom, ed. Walter Blair, pp. 250-252). These are three out of a total of 26 pages of working notes for the play, constituting the last three of a ten-page group termed 'C' by their editor, Walter Blair. At the time of Blair's editorial work, the notes were dispersed among several libraries: all but one of this ten-page group (C1-3 and C5-10) were then among the Mark Twain Papers at Bancroft Library, UCA, Berkeley (while C4 rests in Yale University Library). The three pages at hand form a sub-unit that provides a later plan for Act IV, in which Tom and Becky, lost in the cave, encounter Injun Joe.
