The Family comprises not only the largest and most ferocious of the beasts of prey, but in which Elliot describes and illustrates all the species of cats then known also the graceful little animal that delights to make its home within man\'s abode\" (Introduction).

This work is the prototype for the multiple, published by Schulz Museum, Santa Rosa, California see: Matthias Koddenberg, Jörg Schellmann: Christo and Jeanne-Claude: Prints and Objects. Catalogue Raisonné, p. 213, no 188

Charles M. Schulz (1922-2000) was the cartoonist of the globally successful comic series \"Peanuts\". The 美国 author and illustrator portrayed 美国 suburban life from the perspective of a group of children in the daily comic strips, which ran for decades. Peanuts was special in that it combined pointed wit with philosophical reflection.

Most of the comic strips focus on the main characters Charlie Brown and his dog Snoopy. Snoopy, the white dog with the black floppy ears, is now considered an integral part of our popular culture.
Snoopy lives in a kennel in Charlie Brown\'s garden. There, the beagle spends most of his time lying lazily on the roof of his hut, the so-called Snoopy Dog House, pondering his philosophical thoughts while waiting for his next meal.

In 1975, Charles M. Schulz met the packaging artists Jeanne-Claude and Christo at a discussion group in Colorado. The cartoonist then paid tribute to the artist couple by creating a Peanuts comic strip in 1978 in which Christo wraps Snoopy‘s House in fabric. In the comic strip, Snoopy wonders what Christo will cover next and finds his house wrapped at the end of the sequence. Christo returned the cartoonist\'s compliment by turning the comic image into reality decades later, designing a life-size, three-dimensional doghouse for the Charles M. Schulz Museum and wrapping it in tarpaulin, polyethylene and rope.
The work offered here is an original collage with real fabric wrapping, created by Christo in 1994 as a prototype for the later multiple. The multiple is number 188 in the catalogue raisonné.
This original work came from the estate of printer Jack Lemon, who founded his life\'s work, the Landfall Press, in Chicago in 1970. Lemon and his team printed lithographs by Christo, Philip Pearlstein and Sol LeWitt, among others.

ILLUMINATED CARTA EXECUTORIA.:Rare patent of nobility issued by Archduke Charles of Austria (later Charles VI, Holy Roman Emperor), fashioning himself Charles III of Spain during the War of the Spanish Succession (1701–1714), conveying the title of Marquess of Callus (in Catalonia) upon Don Jaime Vicente Alamany Descallar, manuscript on vellum, text in Latin, 1711, 290 x 200 mm, 8 leaves bound as a single quire of 4 bifolia.
Collation: i8, the first leaf treated as a blank flyleaf. 22-26 long lines written in brown ink in italic script with one-line roman capitals; headings in larger capitals on ff. 2r-2v; written area: 215 x 125 mm. All text pages decorated with full borders containing delicate brown ink drawings. F. 2r with a cartouche depicting the king on a rearing horse firing a pistol, surmounted by a crown, below him a globe held by two putti and inscribed \"America\", below that the words NOS CAROLUS in a cartouche, all flanked by personifications of the church and the state and other motifs. On f. 2v the continuation of the text continues under a round seal stamped in in black ink, containing a coat of arms, and inscribed: CAROLUS III DEI GRATIA HISPANIARUM ET INDIARUM REX. Borders of ff. 2v-6v filled with vedute, vignettes, putti, cartouches, and various flourishes similar to those found in engraved writing-master books of the period. F. 7r with the last lines of the text and several notarial attestations. F. 7v blank. F. 8r with a large colored coat of arms surrounded by colored arabesque flourishes. F. 8v blank.

RARE PATENT OF NOBILITY OF \"CHARLES III\" DURING HIS EMBATTLED CLAIM TO THE SPANISH THRONE. On the death of his Hapsburg relative King Charles II of Spain (1661-1700) without a direct heir, Archduke Charles of Austria declared himself the King of Spain, thus occasioning the War of the Spanish Succession, which pitted him against a rival candidate, Philip, Duke of Anjou, grandson of Louis XIV, and a distant cousin of the Archduke. In 1711, when his brother, the Holy Roman Emperor Joseph I, died the Archduke returned to Vienna to assume the imperial crown, while Philip was eventually recognized as King Philip V of Spain. During his brief time as claimant to the Spanish throne, Charles never extended his sphere of influence beyond Catalonia and lived there only from 1705 to 1711.
