NEW YORK — Held annually, Doyle New York‘s Stage & Screen event features iconic memorabilia, costumes and much more from the realms of Hollywood, Broadway, opera and dance. This year’s edition is scheduled for Friday, December 15, and portions of the sale’s proceeds will be donated to the Entertainment Community Fund, the charity formed in 1882 to provide a safety net for professionals in the performing arts across their lifespans. The catalog is now available for bidding at LiveAuctioneers.

An amazing collection of sketches by famed wardrobe designer Edith Head represent the sale’s most interesting lots. The Academy Award-winning designer had a decades-long career in Hollywood costuming the top actresses of the Golden Age, including Audrey Hepburn in her Academy Award-winning turn in 1953’s Roman Holiday. Head’s silver brocade dress appears in the opening scene of the film, when the princess is shown in newsreels greeting and dancing with dignitaries at an official reception. Head would win her fifth Academy Award for her work on the film (she would ultimately earn eight during her lifetime). The illustration is estimated at $8,000-$12,000.

Fans of the legendary rock band Queen will thrill to this hand-written letter and portrait sketch by Freddie Mercury. Sent to his bandmate Mick ‘Miffer’ Smith of Mercury’s first group, Ibex, the 1969 letter is a dazzling look into Mercury’s experiences at the time, and the illustration reveals the showman’s hidden talents as a fine illustrator. The lot is estimated at $12,000-$18,000.

An Anderson & Sheppard fuchsia pink double-breasted velvet tuxedo blazer worn by Daniel Craig to the premiere of No Time To Die is a must-have for fans of the modern James Bond franchise. Craig donned the blazer for the London Royal Albert Hall premiere of the film on September 28, 2021, and the lot is accompanied by a press photograph of him wearing it. In addition, the blazer’s inside lining features Daniel Craig’s signature on the left side. No Time To Die was Daniel Craig’s fifth and final turn as James Bond. The brightly colored garment is estimated at $3,000-$5,000.

LONDON — Antiquarian book and paper specialists Forum Auctions presents a 430-lot sale on Thursday, September 28 featuring an astonishingly crisp copy of Sir John Mandeville’s Asia, a Renaissance travel book considered instrumental in helping popularize the Middle East during the period. The catalog is now live and available for bidding at LiveAuctioneers.

An English knight who traveled from 1322 to 1356 and served the Sultan of Egypt and Great Khan, Mandeville’s book was what we’d now call a bestseller, becoming extremely popular and clearly influencing others of the day, including Christopher Columbus. This Italian edition is estimated at £40,000-£60,000 ($50,400-$75,600).

Sir Isaac Newton’s Opticks, or A Treatise of the Reflexions, Refractions, Inflexions and Colours of Light, dating to 1704, is another star lot. It comes from the collection of George Fuller (1829-1907), a civil engineer and inventor of the Fuller’s Spiral Slide rule, a calculation device that was in wide use until the 1970s advent of electronic calculators. The Newton publication is estimated at £15,000-£20,000 ($18,900-$25,200).

A first edition, first impression copy of Ian Fleming’s debut novel, Casino Royale, launched the literary world of British secret agent 007, James Bond. This mint version with dust cover and only minor repairs is estimated at £18,000-£22,000 ($22,680-$27,720).

The current rate of exchange is £1 = $1.25.
