James Joyce

A <a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/luxury/books-&amp;-manuscripts/book/first-edition?locale=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">first edition</a>, first printing of Dubliners by <a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/search?query=James+Joyce&amp;pfilters.dateRange=upcoming" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">James Joyce</a>.<ul><li>James Joyce (Irish).</li><li>United Kingdom: Grant Richards, 1914.</li><li>Bound in the publisher's red cloth with gilt title.</li></ul> James Joyce’s landmark collection of fifteen short stories portraying ordinary Dublin life in the early 20th century. Through characters trapped by routine, poverty, and social expectation, Joyce explores themes of paralysis, epiphany, and the quiet struggles of everyday existence. Stories like “Araby,” “Eveline,” and “The Dead” reveal moments of painful insight that illuminate the gap between aspiration and reality. Written in a clear, restrained style, ‘Dubliners’ offers a profound, humane portrait of a city and its people on the edge of modernity.

Diana Moseley | Freddie Mercury

A black lace hat with silver polka dots that was previously owned by <a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/search?query=Freddie+Mercury&amp;pfilters.dateRange=upcoming" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Freddie Mercury</a>.&nbsp;<ul><li>designed by Diana Moseley.</li><li>Commissioned for Freddie Mercury's Very Silly Hat Party, 1986.</li></ul> The hat was designed by Diana Moseley for Freddie’s ‘Very Silly Hat’ party that took place at his Garden Lodge home on his 40th&nbsp;birthday. Diana Moseley, in an interview with Sotheby’s, June 2023, recalled making the hats for this occasion:&nbsp;&nbsp;"Freddie&nbsp;had a huge sense of humor. I remember making all the hats for his 40th birthday party in 1986, each one specifically designed for a member of the family or one of his friends, like Mary, Jim, Joe,&nbsp;Peter&nbsp;and some actor friends. There were joke ones and a trick one for Freddie which nearly broke his jaw because it had an exploding device in it. He found it hilarious. When I arrived at the house with them, it was like giving out Christmas presents. The day before, they had all been bouncing around the house setting up the party, putting hatstands in the garden, as if for the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party. It was a curious sight, but so much fun.”&nbsp;The ‘exploding device’ referred to by Moseley is the mechanism inside the ‘<a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/2023/freddie-mercury-a-world-of-his-own-crazy-little-things-2/freddie-mercurys-mad-hatter-top-hat-and-other-hats" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mad Hatter’ top hat</a> which made the top flip open to reveal the ‘surprise bang’.

Working together at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge in the early 1950s, they were united by a bold, intuitive style and a shared ambition to solve the structure of DNA. Their collaboration was energetic and highly complementary: Crick contributed deep theoretical insight and exuberant confidence, while Watson offered sharp observational instincts and strategic focus. Their partnership, though sometimes competitive and later complicated by controversies around credit—especially regarding Rosalind Franklin’s contributions—remained mutually respectful. They continued to admire each other’s intellect and maintained professional friendship long after their landmark discovery.

Born into the prominent Cunard shipping family, she rejected aristocratic convention and immersed herself in the artistic circles of London and Paris. In the late 1920s, she founded the Hours Press, publishing innovative writers such as Samuel Beckett and Ezra Pound. Her most significant achievement was editing the Negro Anthology (1934), a groundbreaking 900-page collection documenting Black culture, history, and oppression across the diaspora. Cunard was a committed anti-fascist, campaigning actively during the Spanish Civil War and speaking out against racism in Europe and America. The Flemings were known to have attended parties hosted and including Cunard in the 1950s-60s.

Bernard Villemot

A French <a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/luxury/collectibles/vintage-poster/brand-&amp;-advertising" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">advertising poster</a> for the beverage brand Orangina, with artwork by <a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/search?query=Bernard+Villemot&amp;pfilters.dateRange=upcoming" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bernard Villemot</a>.<ul><li>Bernard Villemot (French, 1911–1989).</li><li>Linen backed.</li><li>This work is presented unframed.</li></ul> This Orangina Light French advertising poster by the celebrated graphic artist Bernard Villemot showcases the unmistakable elegance and refined minimalism that defined his career. With its bold curves, sun-drenched palette, and fashion-inspired silhouette, the artwork perfectly encapsulates Villemot’s ability to blend sensuality with sophisticated brand identity. The model’s dramatic hat, echoing the shape and color of a glowing orange slice, draws the eye instantly—an iconic visual metaphor for Orangina’s refreshing citrus character. Bernard Villemot (1911–1989) is widely regarded as one of the greatest poster artists of the 20th century. Known for his fluid lines, striking use of negative space, and rich yet controlled colour, Villemot created memorable advertising campaigns for major brands such as Perrier, Bally, Air France, and of course, Orangina.
