Einbände - - Prachtvoller Einband des Königlichen Hofbuchbinders Karl Ernst Lehmann. Um 1824. Mit zahlreichen montierten Handzeichnungen und kolorierten Original-Graphiken. Quer-4° (21 x 27 cm). Dunkelroter Maroquin auf fünf Bünden mit reicher floraler goldgepr. Verzierung. Vorder- und Hinterdeckel reichhaltig vergoldet mit Eckfleurons sowie gestaffelten floralen Bordüren im horror vacui und montierten Mittelstücke mit floralen Jacquard-Stickerein im geprägten vergoldeten Messingrahmen. Steh- und Innenkantenfileten, reiche goldgepr. Doublure, dreis. Goldschnitt, Vorsätze aus Moiré-Seide. (Schließe fehlend, Kapitale und Ecken minimal bestoßen). Mit Etikett des Buchbinders auf dem hinteren Vorsatzblatt: "Carl Lehmann Königl. Hof-Buchbinder und Academischer Künstler in Berlin, Gertrautenstr. Nr. 18". Einige leere weiße Blätter mit Wasserzeichen Whatman 1824. - Das Album umfasst 60 nicht nummerierte Blätter mit verschiedenfarbigen Papieren. Darauf montiert sind u.a. 5 Aquarelle, 15 Bleistiftzeichnungen sowie 15 handkolorierte Lithographien von verschiedenen Künstlern. Die meisten Graphiken sind französischer Herkunft und stellen Kostüme und Genreszenen dar. Die Bleistiftzeichnungen zeigen überwiegend Ansichten in England, Schottland und Irland, einige sind umrandet von geprägtem Luxuspapier. Es gibt einen mutmaßlichen Hinweis auf den Besitzer: Infrage käme eine ausgewanderte Engländerin, die in der Umgebung von Windsor aufgewachsen ist. Eine Zeichnung trägt den Vermerk "my first cottage, at Old Windsor". - Ein lose eingelegtes Blatt aus glasiertem Papier in fast der gleichen Größe wie die Einbände mit einer Stickerei, die einen Blumenstrauß innerhalb einer vergoldeten Zierbordüre zeigt, könnte einen verworfenen Entwurf für die Einbände darstellen. - Lehmann (1806-1848) war berühmt für seine luxuriösen Kommissionseinbände für den preußischen Königshof von König Friedrich Wilhelm III (1770-1840). Die Familie führte zwischen 1781-1848 in drei Generationen Arbeiten für den Berliner Hof sowie für die Königliche und andere Berliner Bibliotheken aus. Bereits Goethe lobte Karl Ernsts herausragenden Fähigkeiten als Buchbinder: "Von dem oben genanntem, sorgfältig und geschmackvoll arbeitenden Landsmanne haben wir mehreres zur Hand, was mit englischen und französischen Einbänden gar wohl wetteifern könnte." - Ein ungewöhnlicher und schöner Einband von diesem deutschen Buchbindermeister. Bindings - Splendid binding by the royal court bookbinder Karl Ernst Lehmann. Circa 1824. With numerous mounted hand drawings and coloured original graphics. Dark red morocco on five bands with rich floral gilt decoration. Front and back covers richly gilt with corner fleurons as well as staggered floral borders in horror vacui and mounted centrepieces with floral jacquard embroidery in an embossed gilt brass frame. Standing and inner edge fillets, rich gilt doublure, gilt edges, endpapers of moiré silk. (Clasp missing, capitals and corners minimally bumped). - With label of the bookbinder on the back flyleaf: "Carl Lehmann Königl. Hof-Buchbinder und Academischer Künstler in Berlin, Gertrautenstr. Nr. 18". Some blank white leaves with watermark Whatman 1824. - The album contains 60 unnumbered leaves with different coloured papers. Mounted on them are among others 5 watercolours, 15 pencil drawings as well as 15 hand-coloured lithographs by different artists. Most of the prints are of French origin and depict costumes and genre scenes. The pencil drawings show mainly views in England, Scotland and Ireland, some are bordered by embossed luxury paper. There is a presumed clue to the owner: an emigrant Englishwoman who grew up in the Windsor area would be a possible candidate. One drawing bears the note "my first cottage, at Old Windsor". - A loosely inserted sheet of glazed paper, almost the same size as the covers, with embroidery showing a bouquet of flowers within a gilded decorative border, may represent a discarded design for the covers. - Lehmann (1806-1848) was famous for his luxurious commission bindings for the Prussian royal court of King Frederick William III (1770-1840). The family carried out work for the Berlin court as well as for the royal and other Berlin libraries in three generations between 1781-1848. Goethe already praised Karl Ernst's outstanding skills as a bookbinder. - An unusual and beautiful binding by this German master bookbinder.

Paul Granlund (American, 1925-2003). Colored pencil on paper drawing of a seated nude figure, shown from the back. Signed in red pencil and dated 1976 along the lower right edge. With a label from Premier Gallery affixed to the verso of the frame.Lot Essay:Paul Granlund was born in 1923 in Minneapolis. His father was a Lutheran pastor, who instilled in him the background in religion which would provide a major inspiration for his work throughout his life. After high school, Granlund served in World War II, an experience which deeply affected him, strengthening his interest in understanding and conveying the human experience in all its facets.Following the war, Granlund went to Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota. He graduated with his BA in 1952, then, after some graduate work at the University of Minnesota, moved to Michigan to continue his education at Cranbrook Academy of Art, from which he graduated with his MFA in 1954. He received the Fulbright scholarship to study sculpture in Italy, and on this trip and a subsequent period of study as a Guggenheim Fellow in Rome, he was exposed to important works of traditional sculpture as well as new sculptural techniques.After studying in Italy, Granlund returned to Minnesota, and was a faculty member at the Minnesota College of Art and Design throughout the 1960s. He returned to Gustavus Adolphus as sculptor in residence in 1971, a title he kept until 1996, when he retired, although he kept a studio at Gustavus Adolphus until his death in 2003. His art adorns much of the campus there, often demonstrating his adeptness at using sculpture as a method of Biblical interpretation.During his long career, Granlund taught and exhibited throughout the United States, as well as creating many important pieces of public art, including the Vietnam War Memorial at the Minnesota GovernorÃs Mansion. His dedication to creating all parts of the sculpture himself, including casting his own bronze, made him unique among sculptors, as did his versatility, with his sculptures ranging from traditional-seeming figural works to mind-bending abstract pieces.Sight; height: 13 1/4 in x width: 7 3/4 in. Framed; height: 20 3/4 in x width: 15 1/4 in.
Charles Schulz (American, 1922-2000). Original "Peanuts" comic strip, the daily strip for September 25, 1968. Black ink over pencil on drawing board. Signed in the fourth panel. The United Feature Syndicate copyright notice is affixed to the board in the first panel.Charles Schulz grew up in St. Paul, Minnesota, and fostered a love of comics throughout his childhood. He spent his later teen years studying drawing and cartoon work through a correspondence course with Art Instruction Schools. Following deployment in Europe during WWII, Schulz returned to St. Paul and got a job working as an instructor for the Art Instruction Schools. After a short lived comic strip for the St. Paul Pioneer Press, he hit it big with Peanuts in 1950, which was syndicated by United Features. The strip quickly became an enormous success, with legions of fans across the countryñand worldñfalling in love with his quirky cast of characters and charming illustrations.The present lot typifies the characteristics for which SchulzÃs comics were best-loved. It shows the charactersà personalities, always distinctive and lovingly mocked by Schulz. Here, Lucy, the ìcrabby face,î is at her crabby finest, and Snoopy is lively and impetuous, torturing Lucy with the dog germs she so hates. The strength of the character depictions, together with SchulzÃs crisp, mobile linework, makes this a wonderful example of a Peanuts daily strip and of SchulzÃs facility with character.Sight; height: 5 1/4 in x width: 26 1/2 in. Framed; height: 11 in x width: 32 1/4 in.

One of them has autograph inscriptions in pencil "Sacos/patatas" and "A", (middle right area).Measurements: 10.5 x 13.3 cm; 10.7 x 15.2 cm; 9.5 x 14.5 cm; 13.3 x 16 cm."Sacks of potatoes", Ávila, June 1912, is one of the drawings he made on his journey through Castile, to make studies and sketches for his "Visions of Spain". A sacar la barca" ("To take the boat out"). Valencia, summer 1903 is one of the studies for "Sol de Tarde" which belongs to the collection of the Hispanic Society of America in New York.As early as his school days, Joaquín Sorolla showed his fondness for drawing and painting, attending the drawing classes given by the sculptor Cayetano Capuz at the School of Artisans in the afternoons. Awarded a prize at the end of his preliminary studies at the Escuela Normal Superior, he entered the prestigious San Carlos School of Fine Arts in Valencia in 1879. During his visits to Madrid in 1881 and 1882, he copied paintings by Velázquez, Ribera and El Greco in the Prado Museum. Two years later he was a great success at the National Exhibition of Fine Arts with a history painting, which prompted him to apply for a scholarship to study at the Spanish Academy of Fine Arts in Rome. Having achieved his goal, Sorolla left for Rome in 1885, spending several months in Paris before arriving. In the French capital he was impressed by the paintings of the realists and the painters who worked outdoors. At the end of his years in Rome he returned to Valencia in 1889, settling in Madrid the following year. In 1892 Sorolla showed a new concern in his art, becoming interested in social problems by depicting the sad scene of "¡Otra Margarita!", awarded a first-class medal at the National, and the following year at the International in Chicago. This sensitivity would remain in his work until the end of the decade, in his performances on the Valencian coast. Gradually, however, the Valencian master would abandon the themes of unhappy children that we see in "Triste herencia", which had won prizes at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1900 and at the National in Madrid a year later. Encouraged by the success of his resplendent images of the Mediterranean, and stimulated by his love of the light and life of its sunny beaches, he focused on these scenes in his more cheerful and pleasant works, with which he achieved international fame. In 1906 he held his first solo exhibition at the George Petit gallery in Paris, where he also demonstrated his skills as a portraitist. In 1908 the American Archer Milton Huntington, impressed by the artist's exhibition at the Grafton gallery in London, sought to acquire two of his works for his Hispanic Society. A year later he himself invited Sorolla to exhibit at his institution, resulting in an exhibition in 1909 that was a huge success. The relationship between Huntington and Sorolla led to the most important commission of the painter's life: the creation of the immense canvases intended to illustrate the regions of Spain on the walls of the Hispanic Society.
