An Important Autograph Collection Lots 96- 173

This incredible collection forms part of the estate of the late Mr Michael Bourne, the vendor’s father. It is an accumulation of twelve years of work, because according to Mr Bourne collecting autographs was a full-time job not a hobby! Although the collection is mostly focused on autographs by prominent musicians, it also includes signatures by artists and actors.

Mr Bourne acquired items through dealers, auctions and even the composers themselves although these latter items, collected in person by him over many years at the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, are remaining in the family. The collection provides a wonderful evidence of the deep and lifelong interest in music nourished by the vendor’s father.

The phrases that would have to change are among the more indispensable of the opera. In being cagey about making alterations - I have stuck closely to the unchangeability of my work - I beg you to pardon this whim of a novice. As for the other part, Signora Reboux, restored to health completely, has some right, so I have entrusted to her my score, which Signora Reboux knows already and which I had taken away owing to her illness.

Many reasons and considerations prompt me to give back the score of my work to Signora Reboux. Therefore I ask you, Signora Berini, as kindly as I can, to give to the bearer of the present letter (who is a person interested in Mefistofele) the part of Marguerite and Helen that will be on your piano and which - on account of me - has had to pass from your hands with nothing to show for it. I ask you to forgive me in this matter for which no one is to blame, since, although guiltless, I am already much punished for not having the very talented and most amiable Signora Berini to collaborate to my work”, two pages, integral blank, folding marks, scattered toning and soiling, 8vo , n.p., n.d.

***The Boxer Rebellion or Yihetuan Movement was a violent antiforeign, anti-colonial and anti-Christian uprising that took place in China between 1899 and 1901, toward the end of the Qing dynasty.

It was initiated by the Militia United in Righteousness (Yihetuan), or “Boxers”. They were motivated by proto- nationalist sentiments and by opposition to Western colonialism and the Christian missionary activity that was associated with it. The uprising took place against a background that included severe drought and disruption caused by the growth of foreign spheres of influence. After several months of growing violence, in Shandong and the North China plain, against the both foreign and Christian presence in June 1900, Boxer fighters, convinced they were invulnerable to foreign weapons, converged on Beijing with the slogan “Support the Qing government and exterminate the foreigners.” Foreigners and Chinese Christians sought refuge in the Legation Quarter. In response to reports of an armed invasion to lift the siege, the initially hesitant Empress Dowager Cixi supported the Boxers and on June 21 issued an Imperial Decree declaring war on the foreign powers. Diplomats, foreign civilians and soldiers as well as Chinese Christians in the Legation Quarter were placed under siege by the Imperial Army of China and the Boxers for 55 days. The Eight-Nation Alliance, after being initially turned back, brought 20,000 armed troops to China, defeated the Imperial Army, and arrived at Peking on August 14, relieving the siege of the Legations. Uncontrolled plunder of the capital and the surrounding countryside ensued, along with the summary execution of those suspected of being Boxers.
