As soon as I'm done with this dreadful picture we're joining up for a few weeks in Spain. We'll be following Ordonez [bull fighter], which means the south for the first ten days of September. I was in Valencia for the feria and for a few more of Antonio's dates after that...After Spain--? Probably London. Somebody sent me a really good play from America called ‘The Guide', and I expect to be producing it in London either before or just after the pantomime season...

CHURCHILL, WINSTON. Nine days after the Allied invasion of France, this   official British press photograph of Churchill was taken.    Churchill in dark clothing stands between Field Marshal Alan Brooke and General Bernard Law Montgomery at Montgomery's headquarters in France.

Wiener Werkstatte artist Mela Koehler has drawn a Pen and Ink Sketch on fine mesh paper attached to a board with measurements for reduction written in pencil along edges. A charming whimsical image of a fantasy figure in a tree playing a flute like instrument to a large pleasing bird, all designed - including the tree - in Wiener Werkstatte style. Koehler has signed in the lower left corner with her squared signature, "Mela Koehler." An intriguing and appealing image, beautifully framed in black wood with cream detail so that the drawing appears set into the frame with archival black mat and conservation glass . Frame measures 14 x 16 inches, image measures 8 x 9 1/4 inches. The drawing is framed close to its black border drawn in ink. The drawing itself is slightly uneven so that the black ink border is framed over at one point. A fine ensemble evoking the Wiener Werkstatte style. Autograph
