[CARTER HOWARD]: (1874-1939) English archaeologist and Egyptologist who discovered the Tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922. WHITE PERCY (1852-1938) English novelist and editor who was appointed as an English lecturer at the Egyptian University in Cairo in 1911. White was a close friend of Carter and collaborated with him to write much of Carter´s The Tomb of Tutankhamen (1922-33). A.L.S., Percy White, four pages, 8vo, Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, Alpes-Maritimes, 30th April 1930, to Howard Carter (´My dear Howard´). White states that he has heard that Carter is back in England and writes to ´wish you all success, and I most profoundly hope that a "happy issue" from "the Egyptian toils" has been yours´, continuing to add that he finds the weather much more pleasant in the south of France than England and does not want to return before June, ´May is so lovely here & life is as easy as it can be to a lzy old man. The place is full of ´em!´ and also writing of mutual acquaintances, ´FitzGerald has been in this part of the world. He returned yestarday to Paris. He has, as you know, become an R.C. and I believe has found comfort in the Ritual. but he has not spoken of this to me, sinner that I am! I wonder if you´ve been to the Club. Reeve Wallace, who was here the other day, and was/is on the Committee said "we were very glad to have him" - meaning you. You´ll have to join the Athenaeum before your career ends as most good Egyptologists do´. White further writes of his good health, ´I´ve learnt how to "assist nature" by more careful feeding. I was 78 on 14 April and unless I get tired or drink too much red wine (for which I´ve a weakness) I´m as active as ever - on my feet I mean´, and concludes his letter ´I feel you´ll have some surprises for me when we meet. You must be glad to be home, and near the end of the great Tutankamen adventure. Now have a good rest & enjoy yourself!´ A letter of good association and content with its reference to Tutankhamun.

GLENFIDDICH 19 YEAR OLD AGE OF DISCOVERY RED WINE CASK FINISH SPEYSIDE SINGLE MALT 40% ABV / 70cl Without Glenfiddich, Scotland might not enjoy the same thriving whisky scene it has today. Founded in 1886 by William Grant, and still family owned, Glenfiddich was one of the first distilleries to seriously market single malt whisky as a credible alternative to blends. This decision was prompted by a dispute with their grain supplier in 1963, leading to a scaling back in production of their Grant’s blend. By the late 1960s Glenfiddich single malt was a firm hit with the Jet Set, who were picking it up in their droves from the newly emerging Duty-Free market. That early prescience clearly paid off, as (despite strong competition from fellow Speyside giants Glenlivet and Macallan) Glenfiddich is consistently the best-selling single malt in the world, shifting over 1 million cases every year.

* Knight (Laura, 1877-1970). An archive of letters and sketches sent to Allardyce & Josephine Nicoll, 1938-1967, comprising: 18 pen & ink or biro sketches on 17 leaves, of dogs and people, some with typed captions tipped on, two on 'Wind's Acre' headed paper, some fraying and chipping to edges, sheet size largest 36.5 x 26.5 (14 1/4 x 10 1/2 ins), smallest 14 x 13 cm (5.5 x 5 1/8 ins), and a further 8 pen & ink or biro sketches on postcards or headed paper, mostly of angelic figures, together with 33 autograph letters signed from Laura Knight, comprising: 8 letters to Allardyce and Josephine, 11 letters to Josephine, 8 letters to Allardyce, and 6 to Allardyce and his second wife Maria, variously written on plain or headed paper, including a number written on red embossed headed paper '16, Langford Place', some written from the British Camp Hotel, Malvern, and 3 written from the Grand Hotel, Nuremberg, Germany, 4 with additional sketches, including one of Laura and Harold imbibing wine sent by the Nicolls, and another of Laura in bed whilst her new cleaning lady manically scrubs the floor, plus a portion only of 2 other letters from Laura to the Nicholls, an autograph letter signed from Harold Knight to Allardyce and Josephine (and a partial letter from him), and 18 other letters to Allardyce or Josie from other friends, including one from Arthur Pinero and a number from Sir Barry Jackson, several on 'The Birmingham Repertory Theatre Ltd.' headed paper, various sizesQTY: (approx. 80)NOTE:An important archive of letters and drawings sent by Dame Laura Knight to Allardyce and Josephine (known as Josie) Nicoll. The letters are full of warmth and appreciation for these closest of friends, whom Laura socialised and corresponded with over three decades.Allardyce Nicoll was a professor of Theatre History at the University of Birmingham, and he and Josie became friends with Laura Knight through their mutual involvement with the Malvern Festival. Their house, Wind's Acre in Colwall, was situated on the hillside to the west of the Herefordshire Beacon at Malvern. During WWII the Nicholls allowed Laura to design a beautiful studio in a detached two-storey outbuilding there, which had a huge window at the rear, where the artist painted her famous views of the Malvern Hills. One of the letters in this archive describes the renovation of the studio in October 1942, presumably whilst the Nicolls were absent from home, and in another (undated) she speaks of her gratitude at her friends' generosity: 'You can never have the vaguest idea of the grandeur of both yours and Allardyce's act in allowing me to use that heavenly studio. - Apart from the joy of being there, - but for it we would have been forced to go back to London into that awful bombing ...'.Laura's letters are wonderfully descriptive, with many passages painting a picture of people, animals and landscapes with her artist's eye. There are, of course, many references to her work as an artist. In one, dated 1938, she writes 'I am spending the days in a gypsy camp, having a grand time wading in paint', and in another of 1944 she says 'I hear my "Take-off" picture, the Bomber one, of which I told you, is hanging in the place of honour, the President's place at the R.A.' In 1945 she talks about the paintings she had embarked upon at the Skefko ball bearing factory: 'the work I have commenced here promises excitement and great interest. I think it may prove the most unusual and thrilling scheme of the kind I have done.' In 1949 she mentions the portrait she was painting of the then Princess Elizabeth: 'I go to Clarence House for another sitting from H.R.H. I do wish I could feel normal - tiresome to be so overawed, doesn't suit a hard job like doing a drawing - never easy at any time.'Various well-known people are mentioned in this archive, including Edwin Lutyens, whose election as the new President of the Royal Academy in 1938 was a great relief to Laura, John Birch, on whose behalf she wrote to The Times in an attempt to halt the destruction of Lamorna by commercial development, and Major Peter Casson (Deputy Assistant Adjutant General of the British War Crimes Executive, based at the Courthouse, Nuremberg), who became a firm friend, and a beneficiary in Laura's will.Peter Casson first met Laura Knight at Nuremberg. Laura was an official war artist during WWII, and at the age of 68, in January 1946, was commissioned to record the Nuremberg Trials in paint for the British Government War Records. Peter Casson was one of those responsible for the care and travel arrangements of the artist whilst at the Trials. Three of the letters herein were written during this fascinating period of Laura's life. She describes sitting in 'a little cubby hole of a press box, glassed-in front, right over, close to the 20 prisoners', and mentions Hess and Goering (the latter seems a 'jolly good fellow' but then there were 'glimpses of the ruthlessness in him'). She describes the 'utter desolation and horror' and the 'dreadful wounds' of the city of Nuremberg: walking through ruins from her luxurious hotel suite, picking her way 'over rubble, in the evenings, - sometimes in evening dress, in high heeled shoes...'. 'Being here', she writes, 'is the experience of a life-time - from the point of view of emotion: sorrow at such devastation and misery ...'. Musing on the problem of depicting such a subject she writes: 'What matters is -one's personal vision of any subject, and that must be the highest one can reach.'Other letters are filled with more prosaic concerns. In 1966, after her husband, Harold's, death, Laura writes: 'Although Harold is not here in bodily form, his spirit still hovers arround[sic]. I polish his end of the dining table every day - most especially.' In an undated letter the artist's humour shines through when she recalls that, after recounting an ecstatic greeting by Prime Minister Harold Wilson at the Royal Society's 30th Anniversary dinner, her companion housekeeper, Miss Worth, replied 'no wonder England is going to the dogs.'Even in later life, Laura Knight's drive to paint is evident; as busy as ever in her last years, painting, arranging exhibitions, attending dinners etc., she wrote in 1966 '... although I cannot again tramp miles with my paint box on my head, canvas and easel in hand, I still glory in the exquisite slush of paint ... to squeeze the fat tubes of lushious[sic] blue, red and yellow contents ... what a joy!' In a partial letter, undated but clearly written later on in her life, it is clear that Laura was still striving to produce her best work: '[I] work as a hard as usual - with perhaps ever greater joy and zest in the hope of doing something worth while before the book of Life closes its covers.'
