- BLACKSTONE ASSISTANT MARY HARRIS’S
BLACKSTONE ASSISTANT MARY HARRIS’S SCRAPBOOKS.Harris, Mary (Mary Martell). Blackstone Assistant Mary Harris’s Scrapbooks. Two albums kept by Mary Harris, assistant to Harry Blackstone Sr., and filled with over 100 photographs, sketches, telegrams, clippings, letters, tickets, and memorabilia related to Harris’s career, primarily as a principal assistant on the Blackstone show. Candid images show Harris onstage (in the tire illusion, levitation, palaquin, and other effects), and offstage both with her husband Lou, and together with the Blackstone “gang.” Many autographed and inscribed images of Blackstone and other theatrical acts are included. Early images of Harry Blackstone Jr. (one standing next to Shirley Temple) are in the book, one inscribed to “Aunt Mary.” Another picture shows Harris in her role at the Buck Rogers attraction at the 1933 Century of Progress (her ID badge for the fair and other fair memorabilia are included). Attached to the interior of one book is a pencil sketch by Blackstone Sr. depicting various members of the troupe. Other sketches by George Johnstone take an equally humorous look at the Blackstone show. Photographs 8 x 10” and smaller. Most images date to the 1930s – 40s. Both 4tos, the first in wooden boards (upper detached), the second a fragile paper scrapbook flaking, chipping, and disbound. Contents loose and stuck down, but generally in very good condition. A remarkable personal archive. SHOULD BE SEEN. In an obituary for Harris published in Tops magazine, Monk Watson wrote: “[T]hose who never knew Mary Harris by name will surely remember her as the beautiful little shapely blonde who was in almost every illusion [in the Blackstone show]. To see her run around back stage was like seeing a track runner. She’d made an exit on stage left and while changing into another dress, run around to the right of the stage for another entrance. She did the diamond garter, the stack of tires…. Mary was a fine girl and one that we could all take a lesson from when it comes to the old “The Show Must Go On” bit.” In addition to her work with Blackstone, snapshots and clippings in the scrapbook reveal that Harris also worked for Dante.

- STUDIO OF ANTHONY VAN DYCK(Flemish,
STUDIO OF ANTHONY VAN DYCK(Flemish, 1599-1641)
Portrait of King Charles I (1630-1685), wearing the Blue Garter Ribbon, unsigned, an early copy, possibly one of the pendant pairs that were early copies of the prime which is not located (IV.A8)(1632), oil on canvas, 45 x 33-1/8 in. (114.3 x 83.82 cm.); fine gilt wood frame, 62-1/2 x 52-1/2 in.
Note: The original portrait was painted as a pendant to the portrait of Queen Henrietta Maria. Oliver Millar states, "A three quarter length of the king was produced by Van Dyck as a pendant to the portrait of the Queen (IV.115) now in the Loyd Collection. It is recorded with the pendant in early references cited under IV.115 and is probably the portrait of the queen in David Teniers of the Archduke's picture gallery, also cited under IV.115. It was in the 8th Duke of Marlborough's sale, Christie's, London, 31 July 1886 (233); see also Blenheim 1862, part I, pg.25. The whereabouts of the portrait is not apparently known, but the composition is recorded in the copy in the pair of copies formerly in a private collection, Scotland (illus.; canvas: 125.7 x 101.6 cm)."
This portrait resembles the work of Remee van Leemput (Flemish, 1607-1675) who was an early copyist and associate of Van Dyck. The RKD states there is not enough work on which to judge this painting as that of Leemput. They have stated that it is a worthy copy most importantly in the sensitivity of the artist in the face of the portrait which seems better than the known Scottish copy. The clothing, however, seems less careful than the Scottish copy (see correspondence which accompanies the lot). This portrait will be included in the RKD-Netherlands Institute for Art History database.
