Title: Catalogue des Tableaux précieux, des plus grands Maîtres des Ecoles Flamande & Hollandoise; qui composaient le Cabinet de Monsieur le Duc de la Valliere; dont la Vente se fera…le Mercredi 21 Février 1781, & jours suivans…Sous la direction de A. Paillet, Peintre
Author: (AUCTION CATALOGUE: LA VALLIERE, Louis César de la Baume Le Blanc, duc de)
Seller: Jonathan A. Hill, Bookseller, Inc. (United States)
Description: 48 pp. 8vo (180 x 130 mm.), attractive antique marbled boards. Paris: Delaville & Paillet, 1781. The auction catalogue of 114 paintings belonging to the Duc de la Vallière (1708-80), one of the greatest bibliophiles of the 18th century. This copy is fully priced, with most buyers’ names added in a contemporary hand. In addition to his fervent book collecting, La Vallière amassed an impressive collection of Italian and Northern school paintings, described here. The present catalogue details 114 lots of paintings and a lot of two porcelain candle-stands. The paintings include the work of Raphael, Veronese, Tintoretto, Jordaens, Teniers, Rembrandt, Dou, Wouwerman, G. & T. Netscher, Metsu, van Ostade, A. and P. van der Werff, Steen, Cornelis Bega, Breenbergh, Poelenburgh, etc. Lot 74, Steen’s The Drawing Lesson is now at the Getty. The contemporary annotator records that important dealers (Lebrun le jeune, Lenglier, Basan, Paillet, Delaroche, and Hamon), and collectors (Dubois, abbé Richard, Saint Yves, de Vouge, Bélisard) of the period were present at this sale. The total written at the end, 58,760 – 4 livres, does not agree with the amount noted in the Frick copy. Alexandre Joseph Paillet (1743-1814), this sale’s expert, was La Vallière’s trusted agent and organized this sale. Paillet also acted as Angiviller’s intermediary to purchase works for the Louvre. A fine copy with important provenance information. With the uncommon three leaves of vacations at end. Stamp of the Bibliothèque Heim on verso of title. ❧ Lugt 3221. Blanc, Le Trésor de la Curiosité, Vol. II, pp. 40-44. JoLynn Edwards, Alexandre Joseph Paillet: Expert et marchand de tableaux à la fin du XVIIIe siècle (1996), pp. 239-40.

Title: Bibliotheca Heinsiana sive Catalogus Librorum quos magno studio & sumptu, dum viveret, collegit vir illustris Nicolaus Heinsius...in duas Partes divisus
Author: (AUCTION CATALOGUE: HEINSIUS, N.)
Seller: Jonathan A. Hill, Bookseller, Inc. (United States)
Description: Woodcut vignette on title. 1 p.l., 374 pp.; 286 pp. Two parts in one vol. Thick 12mo, cont. speckled calf (well-rebacked with the orig. spine laid-down), spine nicely gilt. Leyden: J. de Vivie, 1682. First edition, Pollard's issue iii. “The sale catalogue of the polymath library of Nicolaus Heinsius, eminent Dutch classical scholar, Neo-Latin poet, and diplomatist, containing over 13,000 lots. It was immediately recognized as having more than ephemeral value, and was reissued as a reference work, with a new, undated title-page in red and black (verso blank), on which all mention of the sale was omitted, an added preface (‘Typographus Lectori Salutem’), and a frontispiece portrait of the late owner. There is a further issue [our example], without date of sale, portrait, or preface, and with title in black, dated 1682. It became one of the most frequently consulted catalogues of its kind.”–Grolier Club, Bibliography, 80. A very good and crisp copy. Armorial bookplate of L.A. Burd. ❧ Pollard & Ehrman no. 231. Taylor, Book Catalogues, pp. 18, 41, 58, 99, 121, 131, 171, 178, 179, 180, 181, 183, 227, & 245.

Title: Vintage Photograph of Light Heavyweight Champion Kid McCoy ("The Fox of the Ring")
Seller: Appledore Books, ABAA (United States)
Condition: Very Good +
Description: New York. Photograph. Very Good +. Very sharp vintage photograph in his boxing stance of Kid McCoy (1872-1940), the enigmatic American middleweight and light heavyweight champion. The crisp black-and-white photo measures 5" wide x 7 3/4" tall and shows the stamp "Photograph Copyright by Brown Brothers 1482 Broadway, N.Y." at the rear. It also has at the rear vintage handwriting that reads: "Kid McCoy (the Fox of the Ring) Once the World's Cleverest Hard-Hitting Light Heavy Weight". McCoy, whose real name was Norman Selby, also had an acting career on the big screen, was married 10 times and served time at Sing Sing for allegedly shooting a mistress of his. A nice piece of boxing ephemera.
