Autographs dated between 1930 and 1943 almost all the dated autographs are from the later half of this period. Also includes some sketches and occasionally small clipped illustrations of the autographees. Notable autographs include L. M. Montgomery "yours cordially / L. M. Montgomery / 1939" with a small cat sitting on the flourish beneath the signature; aviator Jean Batten; adventurer R E Byrd; actress Gracie Fields dated 28.12.38; Canadian pastor Oswald J. Smith "Oct 1938 / Ruth 2 12"; Zane Grey "22.1.40"; film actress Jeanette Macdonald "Sincerely Jeanette Macdonald"; film actress Irene Dunne "8.7.40". Dimensions of leaves: oblong 122 x 96mm. Padded boards. Gilt edges to leaves. Binding shaken. The Montgomery autograph is on blue paper laid down on the album leaf and is opposite a watercolour seascape scene initialled "N.S." 48 leaves in total not counting the free endpapers. Many of the autographs are on paper the same size as or a little smaller than the album leaves laid down on to album leaves. The Zane Grey autograph is dated posthumously in a different hand and pen a few months after the death of Zane Grey so I surmise the date would have been made by the owner for when the autograph was pasted into the album possibly after reacing New Zealand via surface mail.

AUTOGRAPHS by two daughters of Queen Victoria four of her grandchildren and a daughter in law
Helena Her Highness Princess Christian of Schleswig-Holstein and Beatrice HRH Princess Henry of Battenberg ; and Helena Victoria Her Highness Princess Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein Charles Edward Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and Duke of Albany
HRH The Duchess of Albany for the Royal Waterloo Hospital 1906. These seven autographs come from a 250-copy printing of a 1906 album of autographs by members of royalty the aristocracy the church politicians and other celebrities of the day which were assembled by the Duchess of Albany on behalf of the Royal Waterloo Hospital for Children and Women of which she was then President. The signatories here gave their married titles at the time together with a quotation or apercu. The Duchess of Albany herself was married to Charles Edward Queen Victoria's grandson; Victoria Eugenie Victoria's granddaughter became HM Queen of Spain by marriage just three weeks before this album was issued and narrowly survived a bomb attack on the way back from her wedding but there was just enough time before printing for her new title to be added to both the contents list of this album and to the reverse of her autograph; Alice was the last surviving grandchild of Queen Victoria. Undoubtedly a unique group of royal autographs from the Edwardian era. HRH The Duchess of Albany for the Royal Waterloo Hospital, 1906 unknown

While Parrish needs no introduction to anybody perusing this listing I do find it important to note that while his magazine and commercial work is widely known his importance in literature is paramount. His world of fantasy use of color and light and whimsical scenery set the tone for a century of tremendous book illustration from The Hobbit to Harry Potter. Mild toning to edges.

Mls. Holograph letter of Elizabeth Fry dated 5/2 1837.
Devonshire Street. 3 pages 23x 19cm signed with the post mark and addres s on the verso of the last page. Book Mr Dear Friend After I parted from thee the other day I had some conversa tions with our landlady at the Inn at Cambridge upon the subject of having the Holy Scriptures in the different rooms as I had observed it done in som e other Inns. I thought that real advantage was likely to result from it I was pleased to find that she quite entered into my views and appeared anxi ous to have them. She said that every care should be taken of them. I am no w therefore anxious to know whether the Bible Society would grant a certain number of Bibles & Testaments for this purpose. I believe it has been done in some places. I hope thou will excuse my troubling thee in this way but I feel sure thou will be willing to aid me in it as it may be doing good t o others. When thou hath considered the subject be so kind as to inform me when thou thinks can be done to accomplish my wishes.

Autographs SHAARA Michael
Original August 16 1979 Typed Letter Signed From Pulitzer Prize Winner Michael Shaara CANDID DISCUSSION OF HIS FAMOUS MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT AND SUBSEQUENT DRUG OVERDOSE
Tallahassee FL: Original Letter 1979. Ephemera. Single Sheet. Near Fine. 8 1/2 X 11 Inches. Rare TLS Typed Letter Signed from Pulitzer Prize winning author Michael Shaara. Letter on author's personal "Tallahassee" stationery. Shaara was a lifetime writer but consistently struggled with the page. and publishers apparently. As time would tell he had but one truly great book in him although he dreamed of an autobiographical Shakespeare novel that would top "The Killer Angels". Interestingly Shaara also wrote the book "For the Love of the Game" later published and adapted to the Kevin Costner film of the same name. The Killer Angels was Shaara's Pulitzer Prize winner and is most certainly the book he is remembered for. In part "Please excuse me for taking so long to answer your letter. First I was out of the country and then when I go back I was sick for a while - one problem was drugs overdose after a motorcycle accident." Boldly signed at the conclusion in blue ink. A very candid conversational letter in classic Shaara style. Original Letter unknown

Typed Letter signed. 1pp to "Mr. Simon" dated November 15 1941
Croton-on-Hudson 1941. Regarding the recipient's letter to the Reader's Digest of September 24 Eastman had been hired as an editor for the conservative publication earlier in the same year. The subject appears to be the institution of the death penalty in the Soviet Union: ".Nobody questions the fact that the death penalty was decreed for theft of 'socialist property' and the extension of all penalties to children twelve years old automatically extends that one. I am sorry to say I can not tell you offhand when the previous decree was issued but I think it was the Spring of 1934." Brief 1-pp TLS on Eastman's personal Croton-On-Hudson letterhead addressed to a "Mr. Simon" dated November 14 1941. Single holograph correction in Eastman's hand. Mailing folds; slightly toned at margins; Very Good. unknown

Washington DC: Original Letter 1932. Original Letter. Single Sheet. Near Fine. 8 X 10 1/2 Inches. November 23 1932 Typed Letter Signed TLS from US Senator Cordell Hull to "Skull and Bones" member Diplomat and Wall Street Banker Samuel Reading Bertron. Bertron was a noted Presidential advisor of several administrations.

In the third year of the great depression that lastest more than a decade Hull writes: "Many large groups of American people are in a frightful condition. They are not able to pay one half of their taxes for the past year. They are in in a most ugly state of mind. Without going into details I shall hope to see you and talk out with you some of the more important and pressing phases which are uppermost in our minds." On Official United States Senate stationery. Fold-marks. A very nice remnant that clearly exhibits the concern the future Secretary of State has for his country during the height of the Great Depression. Original Letter unknown
