In the late 19th Century, a new moon was rising over the old continent. Some caught sight of its glinting rays more quickly than others.

Vallotton’s boldly reductive approach to the woodcut is credited by many art historians of his time (and ours) as having modernized and revitalized the form in Western art.

On Saturday, the 3rd of May, 1930, C. D. Leyland attempted to sell his late father C. N. Leyland’s estate at auction, entrusting the sale to Ward Price & Co. The firm issued a small folio catalog describing the property in detail, including Haggerston Castle, a 150-room Italianate mansion replete with Georgian and Adams fireplaces and other desirable amenities.
The sale, unfortunately, was not a success.
