This engraving is a highly detailed architectural view of the Town Hall of Vlissingen (Flushing), Netherlands (Zeeland). The view is a precise elevation of the Renaissance-style facade, identified by the title Domus Senatoria Vlissingensis (Senatorial House of Vlissingen). The building is distinguished by its repetitive window bays, tiered structure, arched lower arcade, and ornate gable work, topped by decorative turrets and a central tower featuring a finial figure. This topographical print details the prominent civic architecture of the city and originates from an edition of Guicciardini's comprehensive geographical work. Ludovico Guicciardini was an Italian merchant, diplomat, and historian from Florence who lived and worked in Antwerp in the Spanish Netherlands for decades. He is famous for his comprehensive geographical and historical description of the Low Countries, the Descrittione di tutti i Paesi Bassi (Description of all the Low Countries), first published in 1567. This work was a bestseller of the time, continually revised and reissued with numerous maps and city views throughout the late 16th and 17th centuries, making him a critical figure in introducing the region's geography and culture to a wider European audience.

The cartouche in the lower right corner features Latin text describing the city as being of "wonderful beauty" ( Mirae Pulchritudinis ) and mentions its recovery or rebuilding in the years of the Kingdom of Naples ( Naples annis ), a reference to the city's strategic importance during the Eighty Years' War.

This ethnographic figure study, titled Armenienne , depicts a woman dressed in the distinctive traditional attire of the Armenian community of Western Asia/Caucasus. The figure wears a long, fur-trimmed green over-robe with patterned cuffs, a white head covering wrapped around a red cap, and a necklace. The illustration captures the typical appearance and costume associated with the region as documented by European travelers.

RARE CHINESE JINGDEZHEN 'KAISEKI' DISHES - JAPANESE INTEREST. A rare set of four Jingdezhen celadon diamond-shaped kaiseki dishes, made for the Japanese market, 17th century, each with four tapering feet, the interior carved in relief with a chilong, pomegranate, lotus and peony respectively and covered in a pale celadon glaze. Some restoration and chips, 18cms and 17.5cms across *Provenance: Thomas Maitland Snow (1890-1997) thence by descent through the family. Thomas Maitland Snow was a British diplomat who was educated at Winchester College and New College, Oxford and graduated in Classics. He joined the Foreign Office in 1914 and his early postings took him to Oslo, Athens, Bern, Madrid, Warsaw and Tokyo. He was the British Minister to Cuba from 1935-1937, Finland 1937-1940, Colombia 1941-1945 and Switzerland from 1946-1949. The vendors father recounted his first memory of his fathers posting (to Cuba), in Christopher Hulls British Diplomacy and US Hegemony in Cuba 1898-1964. It also describes how he was reprimanded on his first day at his office in London in 1914 as he had been at Sothebys to bid on a piece of amber, but this in fact stood in him good stead and he was invited to lunch by his superior. The host of this lunch was the renowned Chinese art collector - George Eumorfopoulos (Humor Populus (sic)) (1863-1939), whom forged a great friendship with. He recounts of a story in the book where Snow was to view a large collection of Song and Tang ceramics in the warehouse of the importer and private banking firm - Ralli Brothers, who Eumorfopoulos worked for. A large number of these ceramics had come on to the market due to the establishment of new lines of the Chinese Railways by the Republican Government (1911-1949). Snow purchased some valuable piece from Eumorfopoulos as well as from auction houses (most likely through local dealers) in Tokyo when he was posted there before World War II. This would tie in with these dishes, which were made for the Japanese market and used for sweetmeats during their tea ceremonies. These sets of dishes are usually known in groups of five. The carving on them, especially the one of the chilong, is quite similar to that seen on Kangxi period (1662-1722) brushpots, so the designs of these dishes are most likely a pre-curser to these.

LOUŸS Pierre (1870-1925). 7 L.A.S. "P.", [March-July 1913], to his brother Georges LOUIS; 11 pages in-8 or in-12, 2 envelopes and an address. March 7. "I knew from the newspapers that your return was delayed. The note communicated yesterday to Le Temps and reproduced this morning by Le Figaro and Le Journal struck me as very unpleasant, and of the most malicious intent. Le Matin and l'Écho felt the same, because they corrected it. Paz told me she hadn't received any letters from the Ellébore side [code name given to the Heredia family]. Neither have I, about you. When it comes to asking for tobacconists, one is more eager, it seems to me. I won't forget this. Nothing new here. Still sadness in every way".... - Friday [May 2]. Not intending to accept the invitation of writer and diplomat Enrique LARRETA, he suggests inviting Georges and Paz: "There is a certain Milanese-looking 'Italian Restaurant' on Avenue Matignon, all white, vast, often empty and very decent. In fact, it serves French cuisine. [...] it is both less popular than Ledoyen and less worldly than Laurent"... - Monday evening. He's not sure he'll accept a dinner in the company of people he hardly knows: "You see, I'd look too sad, so I'm sending you this blue one right away so you can have it tonight and ask Paz to excuse me. From now on, I'm going to keep to myself even more than before. The less I see of men, the less I'll suffer"...
