Four Savage Mill Bullion Assays with a Story [104539]
Est: $220 - $500
All assayed by Van Wyck in May of 1865. The mills were the Central, Island, Union and DeLand. (Rarer mill located halfway down Six Mile Canyon. 15 stamps. Named for owner. Idle by 1871) Notice when these bars reached Van Wyck they ranged from 360 to 1200 ounces. The Savage Mining Company probably sent splits of bullion from the same location in the mine to different custom mills to see who was 'honest' and who was not. Here, the Central is singled out with a very low gold (.016) and silver (.802) amount. A more normal range would have been gold (.025 to .028) and silver (.965 to .969). At this point the mine manager would cut off shipments to the Central Mill. Date: 1865 Country (if not USA): State: Nevada City: Virginia City Provenance: The Fred Holabird Collection

(1857 Walton-on-Thames/England - 1919 Philadelphia/USA) /T/Ganzfiguriges Porträt des jungen Grafen Louis Vorow Zborowski an der Seite seines Barzoi-Hundes// Einfühlsames, mit weichem Duktus gemaltes Kinderbildnis des Grafen Louis Vorow Zborowski (1895 - 1924) als dreijähriger Knabe - später wurde aus ihm ein berühmter britischer Automobilrennfahrer und -ingenieur. Julian Russell Story studierte in München und Paris und war um 1900 ein gefeierter Porträtkünstler der vermögenden Gesellschaft und Aristokratie, besonders in England. Er stellte mit Erfolg im Pariser Salon aus, erhielt eine Goldmedaille in Berlin, wurde als Ritter in die Ehrenlegion aufgenommen. Öl/Lwd.; 167,5 x 101,5 cm. R. u. sign. u. dat. 1898. Oberhalb in Versalien Inschrift mit Betitelung/Bez. des Dargestellten "Louis Vorow Zborowski". Unterhalb drei kleine Löcher am unteren Rand. Wohl Original-Rahmen. /V/Louis Zborowski wurde als Sohn des Autorennfahrers Eliott Zborowski (1858 -1903) und der vermögenden Amerikanerin Margaret Laura Astor Carey (1853 - 1911) geboren. Als seine Mutter starb, war er 16 Jahre alt und galt als der viertreichste Jugendliche unter 21 Jahren weltweit. Er war einer der Förderer der Automarke Aston Martin, ab 1921 nahm er mit verschiedenen Wagen erfolgreich an den berühmten Autorennen in Europa (Monza, Le Mans etc.) und in Indianapolis teil. 1924 trat er dem Mercedes-Team bei und verunglückte in einem ihrer Sportwagen beim Großen Preis von Italien in Monza tödlich. Neben seiner Renntätigkeit baute Louis Vorow Zborowski zusammen mit Clive Gallop (1892 - 1960) Anfang der 1920er Jahre überdies vier legendäre Rennautos mit riesigen Maybach-, Benz-, Mercedes- und Liberty-Flugzeugmotoren und einem Hubraum zwischen 15 und 27 Litern. Die beiden ersten nannte er "Chitty Bang Bang" - sie inspirierten den Schriftsteller und "James Bond"-Erfinder Ian Fleming zum 1964 erschienenen Buch "Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang: The Magical Car" (deutsch "Tschitti Tschitti Bäng Bäng"). 1968 wurde es mit Dick Van Dyke, Sally Ann Howes und Gert Fröbe verfilmt.// /V/Oil on canvas. Signed and dated 1898, inscription on the painting identifying the sitter - the famous racing-driver Count Louis Vorow Zborowski (1895 - 1924) as child. Three little holes to the canvas near the lower margin.// $P#

DICKENS, Charles. "Hunted Down". In: The Lamplighter's Story; Hunted Down; The Detective Police; and other Nouvellettes...Complete in One Volume. Philadelphia: T.B. Peterson and Brothers, [1861]. 8o (185 x 126 mm). Frontispiece, vignette-title, two plates and some wood-engravings in the text of Lamplighter and Hunted Down. (Lightly browned, gathering 12 sprung.) Original black cloth, covers decorated and lettered in blind, spine lettered and decorated in gilt (rebacked preserving the original spine); quarter black morocco gilt slipcase. Provenance: Kenyon Starling (bookplate). FIRST EDITION IN BOOK FORM, uniform with "Peterson's Uniform Duodecimo Edition of the Complete Works of Charles Dickens 'Boz'", blindstamped as such on the front cover, entered at the Clerk's Office in 1861. Written especially for and preceded by serial publication in the New York Ledger, 20 August - 3 September 1859, and subsequently published in England in All the Year Round, 4 and 11 April 1860. Dickens based this grisly tale of murder on the infamous London journalist Thomas Griffiths Wainewright who slowly poisoned his sister-in-law with strychnine after insuring her life for £18,000. Dickens visited Wainewright in Newdigate Prison before the criminal was transported to Australia. This volume also contains Dickens's The Ghost in Master B.'s Room, and the first editions in book form of Wilkie Collins's The Ghost in the Cupboard Room and Mrs. Gaskell's The Ghost in the Garden-Room. Peterson and Brothers's was the first uniform collected edition of Dickens's works to be published in the U.S. between 1851 and 1865. They purchased the printing plates from Harper & Brothers, Lea & Blanchard, and others who had published separate editions of Dickens's works. The various resulting editions were published in different styles and at different prices from a cheap paper covered to royal octavo illustrated with plates. Edgar & Vail, p. 28; Wilkins, p. 44; Quayle, 44; Queen's Quorum 4; Yale/Gimbel D37.
