XI, no. 2, Nov 1982, pp. 33-49.These extremely rare cards were designed and issued by Antonio Martorell and published by his studio and community art centre Taller Alacran. According to Dudley Ollis' note, Ollis was told by Louis Orzack that he (Orzack) had met Antonio Martorell and been presented with a pack of these cards. However shortly afterwards the police in Puerto Rico seized and destroyed all stocks of the cards. Orzack believed that the only packs still in existence were his own and a pack saved by the artist, which is now displayed in the Puerto Rico Museo de Arte de Ponce. Therefore this apparently escaped example, found by Dudley Ollis at a London antiques fair, would seem to be one of only three examples that have survived.The cards support the movement for independence from the United States. The Spanish word alacran means scorpion, and refers to the United States and its hold over the island. The four suits represent: coconut palms with fruit = New Progressive Party, hand with flag = Independentista movement, white star on red = Communist Party, profile head = Popular Democratic Party. This profile head is believed to be that of Governor Muñoz-Marin.

⊕Edmond Xavier Kapp (lots 83-94) Oh to be silent! Oh to be a painter! Oh (in short) to be Mr. Kapp (Virginia Woolf) Introduction Widely remembered for his portraiture, in particular his distinctive form of character types (he did not like his work to be describe as caricature), Kapp was a highly versatile artist with an enquiring mind and a love of music. Appreciated in his lifetime also for his poetry and his evolving interest in abstraction, he aspired to write, mixed with the leading artists of the day and attracted the attention of critics and the cognoscenti. The following eight lots from his estate capture the singularity of his artistic vision and his constant thirst for innovation. Born in Islington, London, the son of Jewish-German parents, Kapp studied in Berlin, Paris and Cambridge, where he had his first exhibition, wrote for Granta and the Cambridge Magazine and attracted the attention of Max Beerbohm. While a 2nd Lieutenant with the Royal Sussex Regiment in the First World War, he sketched portraits of his fellow soldiers to amuse them in the trenches, including the young poet Edmund Blunden, and crossed paths with William Rothenstein at Amiens, a meeting Rothenstein recalls in his autobiography Men and Memories. After the Armistice Kapp held his first one man exhibition at the Little Art Rooms, Adelphi, London, the catalogue introduction written by Beerbohm. Commissions followed, together with the publication of his first book: Personalities published in 1919 and reviewed by Virgina Woolf in her essay Pictures and Portraits. Prominent figures who featured in his early work included Edwin Elgar, Percy Wyndham Lewis and Richard Strauss. Later, after the War, subjects ranged from Albert Einstein (1923) to the Duke of Windsor, the future King Edward VIII (1932); of leading personalities in the arts he captured the characters of Aldous Huxley and Noël Coward. Kapp typically rejected supplying caricatures to newspapers, preferring to choose his own subjects. But he did take on commissions, such as his series Ten Great Lawyers published in 1924 in the Law Society Journal. And his work appeared in a wide variety of periodicals, most notably Time and Tide, output that resulted in the publication of further volumes of his collected portraits, and an exhibition of his work at The Leicester Galleries, the leading contemporary gallery in London of the day. In 1922 Kapp married Yvonne Meyer, journalist, photographer, translator and writer, now best known for her biography of Eleanor Marx. On their honeymoon the young couple visited Beerbohm in Rapallo and settled the following year in Rome where Kapp studied at Sigmund Lipinsky’s art school and under Antonio Sciortino at the British Academy. There too he met the American painter Maurice Sterne who encouraged him to paint in oil. Kapp also developed his interest in lithography as a means to sell limited editions of his more well-known sitters. It led in 1935 to a commission for portraits of twenty-five delegates to the League of Nations in Geneva. Publication of the series brought him to the attention of Pablo Picasso, and the beginning of a close friendship between the two artists. Kapp captured Picasso’s profile in a sketch of him in his studio at 23 Rue La Boetie, Paris in 1938, purportedly the only likeness for which Picasso agreed to sit (collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum). And there are relaxed and informal photos of Picasso in bathing trunks snapped by Kapp in 1948 outside the restaurant Chez Nounou and the Hotel de la Mer in Golfe Juan when holidaying with Picasso in the South of France. During the Second World War Kapp was an Official War Artist; after the War he worked as an Official Artist to UNESCO. He kept a studio at 2 Steeles Studios, Haverstock Hill in Hampstead, North London and in Beausoleil, near Monaco in the Alpes Maritimes, and explored abstraction (lots 91-94).

Bunbury. Born in Derbyshire in 1760, he came to London in around 1791 to 1792 where he achieved popularity with his social satires. He was also known as ‘Mustard George’ and 'George Murgatroyd Woodward'. From around 1794 to 1807 Woodward designed numerous caricatures which were engraved by such artists as Isaac Cruikshank (William Cruikshank's father), Charles Williams, Piercy Roberts, Richard Cooper, and other satirical artists of the period. Many of his designs were also etched by his close friend and constant drinking companion, Thomas Rowlandson. He lived a dissolute life and died in poverty in a public house in 1809. George Moutard Woodward is often credited with the invention of the modern form of comic strip.
ARMEN ELOYAN (ARMENIAN B. 1966) UNTITLED (87) Oil on canvas Signed and dated 2006 (verso) 60 x 50cm (23½ x 19½ in.) Unframed Provenance: Galerie Bob van Orsouw, Zurich Acquired from the above in 2007The Armenian artist Armen Eloyan is known for his brooding, cartoonish canvases. Eloyan's work can be found in the Deutsche Bank Collection and the Olbricht Collection; he has held solo exhibitions at Timothy Taylor, Patrick Painter, and the Centre d'art Neuchâtel. The street art produced by Eloyan while studying at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam informs his lively, evocative brushwork. His often menacing figures are tempered by a strain of humour, caricature, and tongue-in-cheek allusions to pop culture. Eloyan has not had an easy life - he undertook national service in Siberia for the Armenian SSR - but he invests his work with a refreshing flippancy. Bursting forth from the canvas, the batlike creature of Untitled (87) resembles the adversaries of a computer game or comic strip. Eloyan's impasto and nocturnal palette enhance the dungeonlike atmosphere, as the chain above points to sinister designs. It is a testament to the power of his practice that Eloyan's decidedly inhuman figures call forth such relatable emotions.

LEAR EDWARD: (1812-1888) English artist, illustrator, author and poet, remembered for his literary nonsense and limericks. A fine, wonderful illustrated A.L.S., Edward Lear, three pages, 8vo, n.p., 31st July 1877, to Lady Waldegrave. Lear writes a warm letter to his friend, incorporating amusing nonsense spellings and a delightful self-caricature, shortly before departing for his beloved Italy, in full, ´I shall trouble you with this gnoat because the chances are that I shall not see you again before I go out of England, - if, (as I hope you may,) you will make a northerly tour to Whitby, Filey, Bridlington, & Scarborough. And for myself, I have to remain with my nose at the grindstone to finish one of the two large Northbrook pictures, so as to take it down to Stratten with as little delay as possible. After witch, & another visit to my sister, I shall go south, like the swollers [at this point in the letter Lear has penned a self-caricature as a swallow gliding in the wind, his familiar spectacles dislodged from his head] So I wish you goodbye, with many good wishes for a pleasant Autumn, & many thanks for much kindness. Both you & Chichester have always been very kind to me. But, unless you both come to Italy, I fear it will be a long time before I see you again, if at all´. A rare example of a letter by Lear demonstrating his clever word play and enhanced by an original drawing. VGFrances Waldegrave (1821-1879) Countess Waldegrave. English society heiress, the daughter of opera singer John Braham.
Vintage reproduction of the Soviet propaganda poster Wrangel is still alive - finish him off without mercy. The poster features a caricature image of Wrangel being finished off by Red Army soldier's sword.

Pyotr Nikolayevich Wrangel was a Russian officer of Baltic German origin in the Imperial Russian Army. During the later stages of the Russian Civil War, he was commanding general of the anti-Bolshevik White Army in Southern Russia. After his side lost the civil war in 1920, he left Russia. He was known as one of the most prominent exiled White emigres and military dictator of the South Russia (as commander in chief). Good condition, tears, minor stain on top left margin.
