Description

Pills from Dr. Andreu - Documentation crossed between Juan Andreu and the lawyer Rafael Garcerán. Juan Andreu, son of Salvador Andreu i Grau, famous pharmacist for his "Dr. Andreu's cough pills", worked together with his brother José in the pharmacy and laboratory that his father founded. Letter sent to lawyer Rafael Garcerán on December 19, with the intention of being able to eliminate, or limit, the distribution of the medicine "Dagenan", in favor of his own medicine: "...by chance I have learned that Mr. Javier The representative of the Rhône-Poulenc house, preparer of the "Dagenan" is in Madrid and I have no doubt that it is to register the "Dagenan" and undo the work that we have undertaken.... The halo of cures miracles surrounding "Dagenan" and its clandestine sale in Chicote.... The Union's report must be negative... you will understand, friend Mr. Garcerán, that after what happened I am "scaly" and I fear any new abuse... In addition to looking after our interests, we also defend those of the pharmacists who work with us". Response from the lawyer three days later: "...from the reports collected it turns out that this is a product for which there is considerable demand because it is considered as a true curative... unfortunately it cannot compete with that of the foreigner... believe me, I am extremely sorry for not being able to please you." Attach another typewritten document and two telegrams.

A RARE LIAO DYNASTY LACQUERED WOOD SADDLE WITH GILT COPPER APPLICATIONS A RARE LIAO DYNASTY LACQUERED WOOD SADDLE WITH GILT COPPER APPLICATIONS Published: Dr. Koos de Jong, Dragon & Horse. Saddle Rugs and Other Horse Tack from China and Beyond, Amsterdam - Hong Kong 2013, ill. 3.02, p. 35. Northwestern China, 916-1125. The gilt copper appliques shaped as dragons chasing the flaming jewel on the pommel as well as the cantle and as lotus flowers on the ledgers, on one side with blossoms in the form of pierced mythical beast masks. Provenance: Formerly in an American private collection. Collection of Dr. Koos de Jong, acquired from the above in 2007. Dr. de Jong is a Dutch art historian and has been privately collecting Chinese art over decades. He has authored hundreds of articles and several books on Dutch fine and decorative arts spanning from the Middle Ages to the modern era. In 2013, he published an extensive study of Chinese riding gear in “Dragon & Horse, Saddle Rugs and Other Horse Tack from China and Beyond”. Between 1976 and 2009 he worked for numerous museums across the Netherlands and was the director of the European Ceramic Work Center in Den Bosch. Condition: Original, unrestored condition and very impressive considering the age of this saddle! Extensive losses to the lacquer only, along with cracks, scratches and other traces of use. The wood with age cracks and some small chips as well as a fine dark patina. The copper applications have lost much of the gilt and show small dents, dings, and a fine malachite green and copper red patina. Weight: 2.6 kg Dimensions: Length 49 cm It is extremely rare to find surviving Liao dynasty lacquered horse saddles, and the present example appears to be unique. The use of lacquer and copper decorations suggest it was made for a member of the elite, who enjoyed sophisticated tastes as well as high rank. With an associated metal stand. (2)

Lembeye, Juan - Birds of the Island of Cuba - Havana - Imprenta Del Tiempo - 1850 - 25 cm - hardcover Number of pieces: 1 Pages: 136 pp. - Laminated cover. Complete with 20 color lithographed plates. Several leaves with stains, as they usually appear in this edition. Juan Lembeye (1816-1889) lived in Cuba for thirty years, where he became interested in the island's birds. In particular, he discovered the Cuban nightingale (Myadestes Elisabeth) and the pechero (Teretistris Fernandinae). Many of the descriptions in the book were written by Lembeye himself. The engravings were made by Laureano Fernandez, taking Audubon's famous prints as a model. A careful examination of the prints shows that Lembeye "updated" several of the illustrations to reflect the particularities of the birds present on the island, which sometimes differ from the birds described by Audubon. This book is quite iconic in Cuba; some of its illustrations were reproduced on cigar wrappers and other popular products. Very scarce work: RBB only records two copies offered at auctions since the beginning of the century. All the plates are illuminated, when Zimmer and Nissen indicate that only 18 (out of 20) were in color. It has a black Dutch binding, probably from the 20th century. Its inner leaves show some stains, and a special darker coloring on the plates. Each engraving is protected by a thin sheet of Japanese paper. Each engraving bears as a workshop signature, in the lower right corner: "Lit. de Marquier, Ce de Lamparilla No. 96". It bears an ownership mark in ink of Dr. Francisco Garay dated January 20, 1891. Plate 19 has a slight crease at lower right that does not affect the contents. Hardcover. Juan Lembeye (1816-1889) lived in Cuba for thirty years, where he became interested in the island's birds.
