102 pages. A sumptuously presented selection of the art collection displayed in The Regent in Hong Kong. This is a collection carefully acquired not only for its aesthetic beauty but also for the elements of oriental symbolism that are represented. Includes fine examples of skilfully executed screens, lacquerware and embroidery. There are specimens of Chinese export wallpaper, and several nineteenth-century China Trade oil paintings. These became popular as artistic records of the cultural and trading contacts of their period and are now collector's items. The selection of maps traces the pattern of adventure and romantic trade and travel over the centuries. Finally, a group of contemporary works pleasantly relate the collection to modern artistic trends. All illustrations in vivid colour photography. Attractive maroon cloth boards bear imprint of Chinese characters upon front board and gilt roman lettering upon spine. Illustrated slipcase shows light edgewear and several nicks. Book and slipcase bear the aroma of moth balls. Book

6141Ambresbury Amesbury; 22 January 13 February 1755. 4to: 3 pp. Bifolium. On neatly-repaired aged paper with archival paper covering the two inner pages. Fifty-four lines of text all clear and entire. Remains of black wax seal with crest on verso of second leaf which carries the address and is docketed 'Maragna Mohammed'. A long letter in two parts the second part beginning on the verso of the first leaf which is headed 'now Febry: 13'. A significant letter to an important eighteenth-century figure; written in unusually honest and forthright terms and casting light on the Duchess's dejected state of mind in the wake of the great tragedy of her life the suicide of her son Henry Lord Drumlanrig; and in the months preceding the death from tuberculosis of her only other son Charles. Following what seems to have been a falling-out between the two the Duchess begins by assuring Shipley that she is 'mighty glad of his letter now' and that she is 'much relieved from the many & great anxietys' he 'could not possibly be exempted from' since she and her husband 'had the pleasure of his company so substantially interrupted'. 'The reason of yr: silence was too plain: it was perfectly understood: & I hope so was my silence which should not have continued so long if I could have been inspired with any thought or chain of thoughts capable to relax yr: mind or to have addministed sic wholesum food for it'. She hopes his 'intended journey' will do him good and wishes that the Queensbury's 'might have been directly in his road' and that frost 'might have detained him as long as he might properly have been detained'. Continuing on 13 February she is 'asham'd to find my self & <mine> moulderd into an other month since the last page began'. Her epistles often suffer 'from a Sort of Subsideningness sic which arises from a consciousness that my writing or not signifies little & therefore from a parcel of fagg ends or remnants of Pride or Spirit'. She 'will not venture into the matter of Shipley's partiallity sic farther than to declare that according to my opinion partialty sic is a viertue neither partiallity sic or prejudice ever did exist without cause more or less & are the <smack> & flame from some actuall matter'. Regarding a 'freind' of Shipley's her 'personall quarrell' is that he has 'vexd & Disappointed' him. Ends in the hope that Shipley's 'litte ones' are well. 'The good & bad weather ingross as by turns but the incessant Storms of yesterday & to day makes one dread for every Ship freind or enemee'. Letters by her rarely come on the market. Ambresbury [Amesbury]; 22 January [13 February] 1755. unknown

Perfect bound, spine is intact and unblemished but appears somewhat fragile due to the age and size of the book. Shouldn't be handled roughly. "Lavishly illustrated, this book shows how the Aschers united elements from the complex worlds of fabrics, art and fashion, providing fashion designers with a constant flow of inventive textiles from the immediate post-war years until today. Art for fabric, Zika Ascher's liason with artists in the later 1940s which produced a remarkable series of screen-printed head squares, is investigated and the works are illustrated in color for the first time. The list of notables who designed these squares reads like a roll call of mid twentieth-century art, and included Christian Berard, Alexander Calder, Andre Derain, Barbara Hepworth, Marie Laurencin, Ben Nicholson, Graham Sutherland and Feliks Topolski. Four immense printed linen wall panels of 1948 by Henry Moore and Henri Matisse represent the adventurous extremes to which Ascher took this artist/producer venture. Fashion begins with fabric. This part of the Ascher story highlights the firm's output from the 1940s. Illustrious designers including Hardy Amies, Balenciaga, Capucci, Cardin, Dior, Fabiani, Givenchy, Madame Gres, Lanvin-Castillo, Yves Stint Laurent, and Mary Quant were supplied with selections of printed and woven textiles, which were the starting points for their modish clothes. Full-scale fabric samples from the Ascher records are reproduced, alongside photographs of models wearing designer garments in the same materials, together offering a uniqe view of the varied used of trend-setting fashion fabrics...... 263 pages.
