Photos & Catalog of Chartres Auction 6 Dec. 1998
By Robbie Rhodes

Yesterday I received the 40-page printed catalog with photos and
description of the big auction in Chartres.  It's a beautiful brochure,
and I suspect that it reflects the artistic talents of our MMDer
Philippe Rouille, who also serves as consultant to the auctioneers.

With Philippe's approval I have copied the photographs of the droll
automaton by Phalibois, "L'homme au tonneau", the drinking man with a
barrel.  See these photos and the English translation of the auction
catalog at

The catalog says, "Orders can be placed by auctioneers who will also
represent those who cannot attend the sale personally."  Contact them
at fax: +33 (0)2.37.36.34.71
