Romanticism volumes on Romanticism in art and literature, to include Murray (Christopher John) Encyclopedia of the Romantic Era, 1760-1850, New York: Taylor & Francis, 2004, 2 vols; Hartley (Keith) et al (eds.) The Romantic Spirit in German Art, published by National Galleries of Scotland et al, 1994-5; Clay (Jean) Romanticism, New York: Phaidon, 1981, among other volumes on Romanticism, including art books on Caspar David Friedrich (qty) The Library of Roger Cardinal Roger Cardinal (1940-2019)Roger Cardinal was one of Britain’s most distinguished art historians, best known for defining what is generally known as Outsider Art - that is, art by people with no formal training. He began his career as a lecturer at the French department of the University of Manitoba, Canada, subsequently moving to Warwick University and finally to the University of Kent at Canterbury, where he taught for fifty years and held a professorship.Roger Cardinal was not only a leading authority on Outsider Art, but also on Surrealism. He was a prolific writer and a master of literary style. His eloquent, percipient writings include several books on a wide range of subjects such as Outsider Art (1972), German Romantics in Context (1975) Figures of Reality (1981), Expressionism (1984), The Landscape Vision of Paul Nash (1989), The Cultures of Collecting (1994), and Kurt Schwitters (2011). He also acted as a curator and was a regular contributor to art-historical publications.Cardinal’s interest in art lay in its margins - the neurodiverse, psychotic, uneducated, autistic, self-taught and ‘other’. His fascination with artists such as the violently psychotic Adolf Wölfli lay in their creativity rather than in the sensationalism of their lives. Certainly, it did not lie in the resale value of their work. That outsider art should have its own multimillion-dollar annual fair in New York and specialist departments at Christie’s auctioneers ran quite contrary to Cardinal’s thinking.Much of Roger Cardinal’s library has recently been donated to the Tate Gallery including the handwritten diaries that he kept his whole life. Cardinal often used books as working tools, heavily annotating in the margins - as with many volumes in the current sale. The library offered reflects Cardinal’s varied interests and fluent command of French and German. Alongside a large collection of art reference works in his specialist subjects, we also find collections of books on fairy tales and science fiction.

Rousseau´, two pages, 8vo, n.p., 24th April 1762, in French. An excellent autograph letter by Rousseau, referring to his wound and to his encyclopedia, stating in part `Dans la supposition qu´il vous a plu de faire, Monsieur, que ma blessure n´était qu´une piqure d´aiguille, vous avez eu raison de trouver étrange que je tardasse à vous remercier de ce que vous avez bien voulu faire pour mon encyclopédie; mais quand je vous aurai dit que je souffre encore de ma main et que j´écris avec peine, j´espère que vous excuserez ce retard qui très assurément ne viens point d´ingratitude.´ (Translation: "In the supposition that you were pleased to say, Sir, that my wound was only a needle prick, you were right to find it strange that I was slow in thanking you for what you were kind enough to do for my encyclopedia; but when I have told you that I still suffer from my hand and that I write with difficulty, I hope that you will excuse this delay which most assuredly does not come from ingratitude.") Further, Rousseau comments on the mistakes and errata to sort out on the new volumes before sending copies of the work, saying `En relisant ce que j´ai des deux derniers volumes, je vois qu´ils fourmillent de fautes, et qu´ils peuvent encore moins se passer d´un errata que les deux premiers... Heureusement nous avons tout le temps d´en prendre à notre aise, et je vois de plus en plus que cette affaire ne sera pas sitôt besogne faite. Ainsi je prends insensiblement mon parti...´ (Translation: "Rereading what I have of the last two volumes, I see that there are plenty of errors, and that they cannot be issued so, do even less without an errata than the first two... Fortunately we have plenty of time to take it easy, and I see more and more that this matter will not be done so soon. So I am gradually making up my mind...") Before concluding Rousseau states in part `Je ne vous envoye point encore mon encyclopédie parce qu´il faut l´envelopper, faire des paquets, travail qui effraye beaucoup...´ (Translation: "I am not sending you my encyclopedia yet because it needs to be wrapped and packaged, a very frightening task...")

A set of four vintage temple blocks , possibly Ludwig/Leedy, of skull/fish form, with mounts From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 'The temple block is a percussion instrument originating in China, Japan and Korea where it is used in religious ceremonies. It is a carved hollow wooden instrument with a large slit. In its traditional form, the wooden fish, the shape is somewhat bulbous; modern instruments are also used which are rectangular in shape. Several blocks of varying sizes are often used together to give a variety of pitches. In western music, their use can be traced back to early jazz drummers, and they are not uncommon in modern orchestral music. Its sound is similar to that of the wood block, although temple blocks have a darker, more 'hollow' timbre...'
