Provenance: From the estate of Jacques (1921-2023) and Frances Crampon (1922-2025). Captain Crampon was born in Belgium, joined the Merchant Marine, and eventually became a Captain in the US  Navy, on search and rescue ships. He and his wife, Frances, a singer and actress, met when she was on a USO tour to Japan.  Together they traveled the world, living for several years in Tokyo and Capetown. They were avid collectors of Asian, pre-Columbian and ancient and fine art. They also had an extensive collection of maps. Jacques and Frances settled down in the heart of Manhattan's Greenwich Village, where they remained until their deaths, after very full and interesting lives
