Table lamp; Fase President model by GEI (Gabinete de Estudios Industriales), 1960s. Metal and wood. Electrified. In working order. In good condition. With signature on the base. Measurements: 44 x 60 x 30 cm. Spanish lighting manufacturer Fase was founded in Madrid in 1964 by industrial designer Pedro Martín. Martín sold his self-produced lamps first in markets, before successfully establishing a factory in Torrejón de Ardoz, on the outskirts of Madrid. In the 1970s, Fase was a major player in the Spanish manufacturing industry, contributing to an economy struggling with oil crises and a difficult transition to democracy. Fase sold lighting for more than three decades to 32 different countries, with its largest markets being the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Germany, United Arab Emirates, Japan, Canada and the United States. Despite Fase's commercial success, information about the company and its history is scarce and sources often contradictory. Early Fase designs are considered modern, with original combinations of metals such as chrome and steel, with marble and wood, in a range of bright colors. Often, the fixtures could also be moved thanks to a sophisticated swivel system devised by early Fase designers, which soon became a trademark along with their glass diffusers. Important Fase designs include Boomerang 64, Boomerang 2000, 520, Faro and President, all of which are believed to have been designed in the 1960s. Beginning in the 1970s, Fase introduced modern Italian and Bauhaus-inspired designs to a Spanish public that, emerging from the Franco period, was unfamiliar with the most iconic styles of the 20th century. In addition to combining traditional materials such as wood with a modernist aesthetic, Fase created many lamps in a thoroughly modernist style. Lamps from this period include the Tharsis and the Babylon, both in chrome but with single and double lamps respectively, as well as the Harpoon and the stainless steel Impala (all from the 1970s). Fase's lighting designers and workers remain largely anonymous, resulting in many lamps being falsely advertised as being produced by the Spanish manufacturer, giving rise to a whole genre of "Fase-type" lighting, which can be seen in lamps produced by Madrid-based lighting manufacturers Lupela, GEI (Gabinete Estudios Industriales) and Ma-Of. Authentic Fase lamps can be identified by the company name or logo, usually found on the lamp base or socket. In the 1980s, Fase began manufacturing halogen lamps. Although these lamps were very popular and novel at the time, the break with tradition was unsuccessful and ultimately contributed to the company's demise.

A Sermon, Occasioned by the Death of George Washington' Panfleto de Samuel West Raro panfleto titulado "La grandeza es el resultado de la bondad. A Sermon, Occasioned by the Death of George Washington, Late Commander in Chief of the Armies, and First President, of the United States of America, Who Died December 14, 1799, aged 68.", por Samuel West, D.D. pastor de la iglesia de Hollis Street, Boston.

Address of George Washington, on Declining Being Considered a Candidate for the Presidency of the United States", que pronunció el 17 de septiembre de 1796. El sermón de West comienza: "Bajo la profunda impresión de ese gran acontecimiento que ha vestido de luto a una nación, sentiréis la conveniencia de que me dirija a vosotros, con las palabras de David, a la muerte del General de los ejércitos de Israel, 2º Samuel, iii. 38. 'ha caído un gran hombre'. UN GRAN HOMBRE HA CAÍDO. El comienzo del discurso de Washington: "No estando muy lejos el período para una nueva elección de un ciudadano, para administrar el gobierno ejecutivo de los Estados Unidos, y habiendo llegado el momento en que sus pensamientos deben ser empleados en la designación de la persona que ha de ser investida con esa importante confianza, me parece apropiado, especialmente porque puede conducir a una expresión más clara de la voz pública, que ahora les informe de la resolución que he tomado, de declinar ser considerado entre el número de aquellos, entre los cuales se ha de hacer una elección." En muy buen estado, con los bordes desgastados y doblados, ligeras manchas y una esquina inferior derecha de la cubierta, que también lleva una etiqueta pegada.

SAND (George). Documento autógrafo sin firma, sl, sd (c. 1840), 2 pp. in-4, relativo a la edición popular de las obras completas de Sand a la que se oponen François Buloz y los hermanos Bonnaire: "Resultó del examen que Monsieur Durmont tuvo a bien hacer de los dos tratados adjuntos, que a partir de enero de 1842 recuperé el derecho de reimprimir las obras designadas en el 1er tratado y que las designadas en el segundo, al no tener un plazo fijo de disposición, podían ser objeto de serias discusiones. Pero en cuanto a las obras publicadas entre el 1º y el 2º tratado, las que no están designadas en ninguno de ellos, tendría derecho a publicarlas ahora. La Sra. Buloz y el Sr. Bonnaire, o los libreros a quienes vendieron los ejemplares restantes, apoyándose en la opinión del Sr. Boinvilliers avocat, niegan este derecho y afirman que estas obras entran dentro de los términos de los del último tratado y que, por lo tanto, mientras queden más de cien ejemplares, son propiedad ilimitada en sus manos. [...] Yo les exigiría que fijaran un plazo razonable para la venta de las obras incluidas en el último tratado y, a cambio de esta concesión, les pediría que no anunciaran ni comenzaran la edición popular de las obras no incluidas en ningún tratado antes de enero de 1842. [...]" François Buloz atrajo a George Sand a la Revue des deux mondes en diciembre de 1832. Esta colaboración exclusiva duró diez años, hasta que se separaron en 1842 a causa de la novela Horacio, que trataba de la insurrección de junio de 1832 y que Buloz consideraba demasiado política. George Sand publicó Horacio en la Revue indépendante que acababa de fundar. Las desavenencias entre Sand y Buloz duraron casi 15 años.
