Welcome to Smalls Auctions Sale 231. Participants in our Sales would have realised that last week’s auction went online a day earlier than scheduled after a mix-up with the calendar and so this week we have reoffered a selection of the lots to placate buyers as well as vendors. We apologise for the inconvenience. There is a definite concentration in this Sale on the ‘rally raising’ effects of photography on populations and this is particularly true of the Great War images captured by official War photographers such as the Australian Frank Hurley. In previous conflicts War artists put brush to paper to reimagine battles but the intimacy of photographers in the Field of War placed the viewer amongst the carnage in the trenches at the front line. In that way they were used to great effect to raise funds for the War effort. Of course, the World moved on to the first ‘TV War’ in Vietnam and unfortunately these days we are looking on as the Ukrainian countryside begins to resemble the WWI photos on offer in our Sale. Nothing ever changes it would appear when megalomaniacs challenge the Rule of Law. In a different type of battle, we also have on offer an original glass negative of Jack Johnson the Black American who challenged the Canadian titleholder Tommy Burns for the Heavyweight Boxing Championship of the World at Rushcutters Bay Sydney in 1908 taking out the title in fourteen gruelling rounds. As usual in the Sale we have a fine selection of coins, banknotes, jewellery and other collectables to satisfy your interests. Smalls Auctions Team
