Description:
1829. Signed Aug. Edouart fecit and dated 1829 lower left. 11 x 7-1/4 inches. Matted. Signed Aug. Edouart fecit and dated 1829 lower left. 11 x 7-1/4 inches. Augustin Amant Edouart was a French-born portrait artist who began making silhoutte portraits in London in 1825. In 1829 he moved to Edinburgh, where he worked for three years before traveling in the United States and then moving back to France. Edouart's silhouttes, cut out from black paper by hand, are held by collections such as the National Portrait Gallery in London, the National Galleries of Scotland, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. His work has been included in several leading exhibitions on silhouettes as an art form. This fine example of Edouart's work shows a man in a top hat carrying a thin straight cane, followed by a small dog with short legs. The workmanship gives a sense of motion, and the glint of white at the man's collar is striking in an otherwise near-solid figure. Provenance: Kennedy Galleries, Inc., New York

Green boards, black titling. Good- Condition /New Fax Dust Jacket. Light foxing noted, spine is sunned. 256 pages 5 X 7 3/8. Summary: "First published in 1922, The Undying Monster set the stage for the many classic werewolf movies and stories that would follow. A centuries old family curse resurfaces to torment the only two remaining family members of the old Hammond dynasty, who call in the aid of Supersensitive Luna Bartendale, who unravels an ancient ancestral curse with looming lycanthropy, a soupçon of Satanism and a cryptographic conundrum to boot, all set against the backdrop of the Sussex South Downs. Widely regarded as one of the best werewolf novels, brought to the big screen by 20th Century Fox in 1942 (retitled in Britain as The Hammond Mystery)."

Where's Master? By Caesar. The Kings Dog
This dog was given precedence over the Kaiser at Edward VII's funeral
The book is a British Royal family product. The handwritten inscription on the fly leaf is believed to be that of Princess Mary, daughter of King George V.
Caesar (1898–1914) was a Wire Fox Terrier owned by King Edward VII. He was bred in the kennels of Kathleen, Duchess of Newcastle, and became the constant companion of the King. After the King's death in 1910, the dog attended the funeral and walked in the procession in prominence ahead of nine kings and other heads of state. Caesar has been the subject of paintings, and a hand crafted hardstone model created by the House of Fabergé.
Within a month of the funeral an unofficial book was published, Where's Master?, giving a first person account of Caesar from the king's death up to the funeral, something which made Queen Mary furious. The book… Read More
