Katy and Alasdair both went to Whitehill Secondary Schook in Dennistoun, ten years apart, and it was their art teacher who suggested to Alasdair that he get in touch with Katy in the mid 1950s because Alasdair was complaining that Riddrie was something of a cultural desert. Katy Gardiner was the vendor's mother's stage name which she used after separating from Eddie Boyd. The vendors took over the rent of Alasdair's huge Hill Street flat when he and his wife and young child moved to the ground floor in 1966.

Lawrence, T.E. Autograph Letter Signed "yours T.E.S." to Edward Eliot, Lawrence's solicitor, 2 pages, 4to, dated 24.4.28, written on thin paper from Drigh Road, Karachi, discussing a film proposal, Revolt in the Desert - "what a mercy "Revolt" is withdrawn. Otherwise Cape would have bolstered the film with a cheap edition, which would have sold three copies for each of the 30/- ones... I bless you daily for cancelling that edition", discussing his probable departure for Peshawar "It is a misery, going to a strange camp. They goggle at me with all their eyes, for the first month, wondering why I'm not odder, and all the little newnesses of strange routines & disciplines keep my attention on the raw"..., the construction of swimming baths at Karachi using 'Revolt' money that had been donated to the RAF Benevolent Fund, this pool was to be "for married families and officers" and TE even details a rota for its use. At the end of the letter he states "Indeed Revolt wasn't a book at all. It was a sort of solvent of an overdraft: a financial instrument", slightly browned, slightly split at one foldFootnote: Note: Unpublished. The letter covers various topics including the proposed and eventually abortive Korda film. The letter was originally found in a drawer of a large mahogany sideboard being sold in an open air antiques market , possibly at Swinderby. The sideboard was thought to have last come from Scotland. With the TEL letter was an unrelated letter, and a very old French will. If the letters had not been picked up they would have been trampled in the mud!

A Cape of Good Hope General Service Medal renamed to Private J. Ashford, Cape Police: clasp: Bechuanaland (337 PTE J ASHFORD C. PCE.), engraved, surname unofficially re-engraved, good very fine. A Private J. Ashford appears on the KSA roll for the Cape Police. It is unclear to whom this medal was originally awarded, because the number 337 appears to have been assigned to a Corporal (W.D. Devine)

REGT.), possible correction to number, very fine and toned; Queen's South Africa, 1st type (b), clasps: Cape Colony, Paardeberg, Transvaal (3757 SGT. C.

Served in the 2nd Anglo-Boer war and was killed in action at Magersfontein, 11 December 1899, while advancing at the head of a small party of men. * Lt. Cox was undoubtedly entitled the Khartoum clasp for his Khedive's medal, and the absence of the clasp is presumed to be a consequence of the issue of his medals being complicated by his death.

Artist: Henri Cartier-Bresson (French, 1908 - 2004). Title: "Allees du Prado, Marseilles". Medium: Original vintage photogravure. Date: Composed 1932. Printed 1953. Dimensions: Image size: 13 9/16 x 9 1/8 in. (344 x 232 mm).Lot Note(s): Stamped with the photographer's name, verso. Edition unknown, presumed small. High-grade archival paper. Printed to the edge of the sheet. Fine, quality printing. Very good to fine condition; affixed to very thin and supple archival acid-free support sheet, not mount/board. Comment(s): “This is a classic and famous street photograph by Cartier-Bresson taken in Marseille. The photograph is intriguing. The man has a great bowler cap on, an ominous black cape, an umbrella by his side, and what appears to be a cigarette sticking out of his mouth. He is facing toward Cartier-Bresson but looking off to the side. It was almost as if Cartier-Bresson caught this man by surprise and he turned around to see what was going on. In the background you have the alley of leafless trees going all the way straight down. The whole photo feels a bit dark, mysterious, and slightly sinister” (courtesy Lorenzo Rabotoff).

J.R.R. (JOHN RONALD REUEL) TOLKIEN (1892-1973)Typed letter signed “JRR Tolkien” addressed to Julie Cape. Oxford, 17 February 1963. 1 page in-4. In English. In fine condition, with intersecting mailing folds, with two small holes at intersections of folds, and one fold passing directly above signature. Very rare. A fine letter mentioning Tolkien’s three great works. Tolkien, the famous author of The Lord of the Rings, died in 1973 without completing The Silmarillion. The novel was edited and published posthumously in 1977, by his son Christopher. “Thank you very much for your nice letter. I was very pleased that you wrote to tell me you enjoyed The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. As for writing more about the same characters, I have written almost all there is to write about them. But I hope you will recognize some of the characters in another book I am busy writing, called The Silmarillion, which I hope will soon be finished. Please give my best wishes to your family and sister, it sounds as if I have many friends amongst them.”
