Prince John Vintage 1918 Signed Black and White Photograph

About the Item

- Rare photograph of "The Lost Prince", Prince John - Clear, bold and rare example of his autograph Prince John (1905-1919) was the youngest son of Queen Mary and King George V. John suffered from severe epilepsy, and due to his illness he was hidden from the public eye. He died on 18 January 1919, at only 13 years-old, following a severe seizure. His life is portrayed in an award-winning miniseries entitled The Lost Prince. This has attracted a new wave of collectors to his memorabilia, which remains extremely rare due to his short and secretive life. This exceptional item is a rare vintage photographic postcard of John with his favourite dog. The photograph, which features some slight wear to the edges but is otherwise in very good condition, is signed "Johnny 1918" in black fountain pen ink in the lower right hand corner. This wonderful photograph, which shows John's autograph clearly, is a very rare piece of royal history.

  • Princess Margaret 1962 - sister to Queen Elizabeth II - Photographed by Snowdon
    By Lord Snowdon
    Located in London, GB
    Princess Margaret - 1962   Photographed & Signed by Snowdon (Anthony Armstrong-Jones) 1930 - 2017 Signed and numbered on print: 6/50 - Snowdon This is a very rare opportunity to acquire a signed limited original Snowdon photographic print (printed 2006) of this celebrated photograph of his then wife, HRH Princess Margaret – sister to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.   This was taken at their Kensington Palace apartment in London in 1962. Equal parts coquettish and cheeky, HRH Princess Margaret is seen posing for her husband, wearing her Poltimore Tiara * – the tiara worn at her wedding two years earlier in 1960, to the renowned British society photographer and film maker, Anthony Armstrong Jones (Earl of Snowdon). Snowdon, himself, is just visible at the edge of frame, ankle over knee, with camera in hand.   This bathtub scene may be remembered when it was recreated by Helena Bonham Carter, playing HRH Princess Margaret, in the popular Netflix series, “The Crown” (third season/episode 2).   From a single, sold-out edition of only 50 prints – this exceptional image captures a moment behind the scenes of the British Royal Family and remained under wraps for 44 years, with Lord Snowdon...

  • Fine Louis XVI Style 'Bureau Plat', with a Tooled Leather Top and Two Drawers
    Located in LA CIOTAT, FR
    A fine Louis XVI style 'bureau plat', with a tooled leather top and two drawers. Originally designed to be a writing table or desk, it would have a large and flat top for ease of writing, and for storing quills and fountain pens, and several shallow frieze drawers to hold writing implements. The bureau plat became more widely a key piece of gentleman's furniture for dealing with correspondence and business affairs. This attractive and very useful desk has a rectangular tooled-leather lined top, which makes an ideal writing surface, and its two frieze drawers open with ornate brass ring-pull handles, topped with an elaborate swag. The legs are long and fluted, tapering down to shaped feet, with ornate but understated mouldings at the crest of each front leg. The desk is fitted with a maker's plate, showing its manufacturer to be the Maison Dumas...
