Buchschmuck und Flachenmuster von Max Benirschke (Vol. 2 of De Quelle)
Located in New York, NY
First edition of the second volume (of three) of the renowned graphic design publication Die Quelle (the Source), deemed, along with the journal Die Flache, as among the finest examples of Secession-style graphic design. Published by M. Gerlach & Co of Vienna and Leipzig; not dated but circa 1902-1905. Buchschmuck und Flachenmuster translates to Book Decoration and Surface Design. It presents the work of Max Benirschke (1880-1961), an Austrian architect, illustrator, and designer who studied at the Kunstgewerbescule in Vienna under Josef Hoffmann and was subsequently hired by Peter Behrens in 1903 to teach at his newly founded School of Applied Arts in Dusseldorf. In 1900, Benirschke was enlisted by the famed Viennese publisher Martin Gerlach to produce a folio for Die Quelle; the result shows Benirschke “at the height of his Jugenstil period with a series of curvilinear plant motifs and patterns.” According to Austrian gallerist Michael Steinbach, the present volume is “one of the most important design portfolios...

Madrid 1901: A Historical Map of Spain's Capital Province
Located in Langweer, NL
The map is of the province of Madrid, the capital region of Spain, as it appeared in 1901. Here are the key features it displays:
The map shows the central part of Spain, with the Guadarrama mountain range prominently visible, marking the natural border to the north of Madrid.
Blue lines likely indicate rivers, including the Manzanares River, which flows through Madrid, and the Jarama River, a tributary to the Tagus.
Red lines depict the roads and railways, outlining the infrastructure that connects Madrid's various towns and cities within the province and beyond.
Symbols and labels mark the locations of cities, towns, and villages, with Madrid itself likely being the focal point. Dotted lines may represent the administrative divisions within the province. The map includes a legend (Signos Convencionales) that explains the symbols used for provincial capitals, roads, railways, and other geographic features.
The coat of arms of Madrid, featuring a bear and a strawberry tree (madroño), is prominently featured, symbolizing the city's and the province's historical coat of arms.
About the province of Madrid:
Madrid is not only the capital of Spain but also the heart of the Iberian Peninsula, both geographically and politically. The city is renowned for its rich repositories of European art, including the Prado Museum's works by Goya, Velázquez, and other Spanish masters. The province of Madrid is characterized by a blend of historical and modern elements, with a rich cultural life that includes theater, opera, and flamenco, as well as gastronomy that features a mix of traditional Spanish dishes and international cuisine...

German Tinplate Clockwork Wind Up Toy by the Lehman Co. "Balky Mule" Circa 1909
Located in Incline Village, NV
Perhaps the wildest action of all the Lehman toys, said to resemble Ernest Paul Lehman's temperament (founder of the company), "Balky Mule" was first manufactured in 1897 in Berlin (Brandenburg), and had a multi decade run; this example is from around 1909 (see image with markings to the rear of the carriage). The toy is catalogued as "EPL #425" and documented on page 59 and 60 of the book "Lehman Toys" by Jurgen & Marianne Cieslik, published in 1982.
To operate the toy; wind up the attached clockwork key on the underneath of the carriage and place the toy on the floor. Do not over-wind and be gentle, as the toy is aggressive and over 100 years old. The toy will go backwards and forward, and the clown will pop up and down as the cart goes in several different directions across the floor until it winds down (see video accompanying the listing for guidance).
The toy is found broken and/or inoperable, more often than not, because of the rough action, and typical abuse by children (after all, it was a toy).
This example is in very nice original condition and works well. The lithography and hand paint is bright and original with no touch up or repaint. The hand paint is; flesh tones to the face of the clown, red trousers, orange hair, and grey paint to the seat of the carriage. The clothing to the clown figure is still intact and all original. The lithography to the wheels features brightly colored clowns and a German marking logo. What is really unusual is the fact that the donkey still has all four of its loosely attached original legs, considering the aggressive action of the toy. The metal on the donkey is actually treated with "fabric like" paint, to simulate fur.
All in all this is a really cool toy and a "must have" for the collector of tin toys, or someone who simply wants a wonderful example of an early, "turn of the century" iconic wind up toy.
Provenance: Recently acquired from a prominent toy collection in Los Angeles, California
Dimensions: 7 1/2" long x 3" wide x 5" high
Note: After 40 plus years of dealing and collecting toys, I am justly qualified to guarantee and present the authenticity of antique and vintage toys and children's playthings; important considering the fakes and reproductions in the marketplace
it would behoove an enterprising collector, dealer, or decorator to take advantage of the opportunity to buy as many of the vintage tin...
