"Sydney PARTRIGE"" [PARTRIDGE, Kate, aka Mrs Hal E STONE, 1871-1953] a k a
Life’s wallaby / by Sydney Partrige
Norwood S.A. : Printed and published by Sydney Partrige 1908. First edition. Octavo 190 x 120 mm original pictorial wrappers lightly marked chips to head and foot of spine; 104 pp headings printed in red; fore-edges uncut contents excellent with the contemporary ownership inscription of Doris Egerton Jones Adelaide-born feminist novelist and playwright. This early Australian private press publication is a collection of short stories by New Zealand-born Australian writer Kate Margaret Partridge 1871-1953. It was issued under the male nom de plume 'Sydney Partrige' like much of the writer's other literary output which included two completed novels one The Education of Clothilde written in partnership with 'Cecil Warren' a.k.a. Leonora Polkinghorne South Australian feminist appeared in serialised form collections of verse and contributions to various periodicals. Life's Wallaby was published in Adelaide in 1908 by her husband Hal E. Stone during the brief period when Stone was establishing his Koolinda Press in Norwood. It is quite likely the striking cover graphic was designed by one or both of the Partridges. ""Gossip"" in a review of the book in the Sydney Stock and Station Journal 12 May 1908 writes under the misapprehension that the author is a male - 'Good man Sydney' the reviewer declaims. The review is generally positive but ""Gossip"" lavishes special praise on one story in particular - The Metempsychosis of John Wedderburn - which is commended as a fine example of the horror genre 'worthy of Edgar Allen Poe'. At the end of the review readers are advised that they can write off to 'Sydney Partridge' at 90 Edward Street Norwood to secure a copy of the book for 1s. 2d. including postage. Kate Partridge was like her Adelaide friend and frequent collaborator Leonora Polkinghorne a feminist and suffragist. An example of her attitudes is delivered bluntly in one of her articles published in The Worker in 1908 under her usual pseudonym: '. no woman of powerful intellect should ever marry unless she would be content to sink herself in her children in doing which she gains nothing unless her desire for domesticity is stronger than her genius.' Doris Egerton Jones 1889 - 1973 was a talented author writing her first play at the age of 14 and her first novel the year after. In 1909 she enrolled in a Bachelor of Arts at the University of Adelaide and after graduating in 1911 enrolled in a Bachelor of Laws despite women not being permitted to practice in South Australia at the time. Jones wrote a letter of protest to the Premier John Verran and an enabling law was passed in 1911 although Jones had to then abandon her studies due to illness. Jones continued to publish works featuring a strong heroine as protagonist and published under her maiden name after marriage. It is clear the Adelaide women Jones and Partridge shared similar views about women's place in society which lends this particular copy of Life's Wallaby to have a quite special association.  hardcover

2 Autograph letters signed ALS and photo
London 1998. 1st Edition. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition. Signed by Author. Autograph letters signed by Frances Partridge in her 98th year. <br /> Partridge Frances. 1900 - 2004. The second to last surviving member of the Bloomsbury Group the last being Anne Olivier Popham Bell wife of Quentin Bell as of 2007. A wonderful original set of two handwritten letters dated 1998 to Vita Sackville-West's bibliographer. In addition an original photograph Inscribed on the verso by Frances Partridge. Her death in 2004 at the great age of 103 closed a remarkable chapter in English literary life. Her friendships with Virginia and Leonard Woolf Lytton Strachey Dora Carrington David Garnett her brother-inlaw are vividly chronicled in her memoirs and would have assured her own immortality. Born and brought up in the heart of Bloomsbury in Bedford Square she became allied by marriage and friendship to everyone of significance in the literary and artistic worlds of the Twenties and Thirties.<br /> Two letters on stationery from her London home on West Halkin Street <br /> <br /> One sheet on ivory paper measuring approx. 8 3/4" x 5 1/4" written on both sides.<br /> Reads in full: <br /> "Flat 2 West Halkin St.<br /> London SWIX 8JL<br /> <br /> December 3 '98<br /> Dear Keith Ravenscroft<br /> Yes indeed the bookshop where I started working in ~ I think - 1921 certainly was Birrell and Garnett. David Garnett was also my brother in law this first wife being more of my elder sisters ~ Rachel or Ray the " lady" what became a 'fox.'! it was the assistant &. accountant and it was there that I got to know all the famous Bloomsbury characters who lived near own shop . the Bells Woolfs Roger Fry EM Forster. A little further off were the Sitwells and Nicholson's but I don't think we ever had Vita's book on Chatterton. Of course you must know the life of Chatterton whose second of two volumes has now her published It in by Richand Holmes.our best living biographer though not a member of Bloomsbury itself . I think I may myself be a member of that group & that I was friends of them all & have a great many letters from them you might even find interest in my own 7 dearies about them ! I am now 98.<br /> Yours sincerely<br /> Frances Partridge"<br /> <br /> One sheet of personal blue stationery measuring 8 3/4 by 11 1/4 inches written on both sides.<br /> Reads in full: <br /> "West Halkin Street<br /> London SWIX 8JL<br /> 0171 235 6998<br /> November 17th 1998<br /> Dear Keith Ravencroft<br /> I was interested to get your letter showing interest in the Bloomsburg group & I felt much as you do when<br /> after leaving college I came to London and went to work in a bookshop where many of then bought books just off Gordon Square you if right about Their deserving our interest I feel myself a late - comer ; I would say Old Bloomsbury began to form into a group at Cambridge ~ the heart of it being the daughters a sows of Sir Leslie Stephen Vanessa Virginia Thoby & Adrian & of Sir Richard Strachey of whom the most important was Lyston and his first cousin Duncan Grant. I Knew all these except Thoby who died of a fever caught abroad. The men were all Cambridge men including the husbands of the Stephen girls. Clive Bell and Leonard Woolf. I don't think any of them thought of themselves as a group but they shared many interests - literature & art travel were probably the common ties In fact whatever you say in your letter They tended to be left wing believed<br /> in independence of thought & highly valued friendship. You asked me to correct any mistakes so I will<br /> say that Harold was Vita's husband and probably her son Nigel sent you the book His brother Ben is dead now. They were not really Bloomsbury at it's . Her friendship with Virginia has brought her to be considered as such . They married Blooms did a had children and friends and so they have got into quite a clan. After all the Strachey's & Grans had highland blood!<br /> Ask me anything you want to know there is such a lot I don't know what to tell you.<br /> Yours Sincerely<br /> Francis Partridge" <br /> <br /> Expected fold lines. Fine condition.<br /> A fascinating portrait. unknown

"Edition believed to be limited to 2000 copies". Partridge settled at Sintaluta Saskatchewan 1883 as a homesteader and school teacher. He was a member of the Yorkton Rangers 1885. An early apostle of farmer co-operation movements he was one of the founders and first president of the Territorial Grain Growers' Association in 1901- later Grain Growers' Grain Co 1906 but later lost the leadership because of visionary and radical views. He urged public ownership of elevators and advocated the creation of a farmer-labour party to establish a `Cooperative Commonwealth' through which social justice could be achieved. The present title though without any literary merit reflects the visionary zeal and hatred for economic inequality that was an important factor in the founding of protest parties such as the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation CCF and the Social Credit Party".

A SEA-CHANGE - an original printed appearance of this cartoon featuring Winston S. Churchill and others from the 24 July 1912 edition of the magazine Punch or The London Charivari
London: Punch 1912. This original printed appearance of a Punch cartoon featuring Winston S. Churchill comes from the personal collection of Gary L. Stiles author of Churchill in Punch Unicorn Publishing Group 2022. His book is the first ever effort to definitively catalog describe and contextualize all of the many Punch cartoons featuring Churchill. <br /> <br />This cartoon titled "'A SEA-CHANGE appeared thus on p.91 of the 24 July 1912 issue of Punch. The artist is Bernard Partridge. The cartoon is subtitled "'INTO SOMETHING RICH AND STRANGE'". The lengthy caption reads "First Lord of the Admiralty at Earl's Court. 'WELL THINGS HAVE CHANGED SINCE YOUR TIME; BUT OUR LOWER DECK'S AS GOOD AS EVER' Shade of Sir Richard Grenville of the 'Revenge' 'YES; AND I HEAR THEY'RE UNDERPAID AS WELL AS EVER.' First Lord. 'AH! THAT'S ANOTHER CHANGE WE HOPE TO MAKE.'" The issue of increased pay for seamen is notionally discussed with Sir Richard Grenville captain of the Revenge who died in the Battle of Flores in 1591. The point is obviously a dramatization of the perennial privations of seamen as well as a poke at Winston's ambitions for sweeping changes to the British Navy - ambitions which despite the cartoon he largely succeeded in making. <br /> <br />Punch or The London Charivari began featuring Churchill cartoons in 1900 when his political career was just beginning. That political career would last two thirds of a century see him occupy Cabinet office during each of the first six decades of the twentieth century carry him twice to the premiership and further still into the annals of history as a preeminent statesman. And throughout that time Punch satirized Churchill in cartoons more than 600 of them the work of more than 50 different artists. <br /> <br />It was a near-perfect relationship between satirists and subject. That Churchill was distinctive in both persona and physical appearance helped make him easy to caricature. To his persona and appearance he added myriad additional satirical temptations not just props like his cigars siren suits V-sign and hats but also a variety of ancillary avocations and vocations like polo painting brick-laying and writing. All these were skewered as well. <br /> <br />Some Punch cartoons were laudatory some critical and many humorous like the man himself. Nearly always Churchill was distinctly recognizable a larger-than-life character whose presence caricature served only to magnify. <br/><br/> Punch unknown

So much for Dukes etcetera.' Catesby. 'My liege e'en now they prate of self-reform.' Richard the Third. 'Off with their heads! We will reform 'em later.' "Richard The Third" Colley Cibber - "French" version Act IV. Scene 4." <br /> <br />Prime Minister Herbert Asquith's Liberal government introduced the Parliament Act to curb the powers of the House of Lords following the clash between the Commons and Lords over the 1909 People's Budget. Churchill was at 'point' for much of the attack on the Lords. Here the message is: show them no mercy.

CONVERSATION FOR TWO. - an original printed appearance of this cartoon featuring Winston S. Churchill and Mohandas Gandhi from the 4 March 1931 edition of the magazine Punch or The London Charivari
London: Punch 1931. This original printed appearance of a Punch cartoon featuring Winston S. Churchill comes from the personal collection of Gary L. Stiles author of Churchill in Punch Unicorn Publishing Group 2022. His book is the first ever effort to definitively catalog describe and contextualize all of the many Punch cartoons featuring Churchill. <br /> <br />This cartoon titled "CONVERSATION FOR TWO." appeared thus on p.239 of the 4 March 1931 issue of Punch. The artist is Bernard Partridge. The cartoon is captioned "Mr. Winston Churchill. 'I HOPE I INTRUDE.'" <br /> <br />The First Round Table Conference November 1930-January 1931 convened to consider government reform in India included Mohandas Gandhi and Secretary of State for India William Wedgwood Benn both depicted in this cartoon. Churchill is the only one not in contemporary garb dressed instead in old-fashioned riding clothes perhaps suggesting antiquated views. Clearly he is not an invited or welcome guest to the conversation. <br /> <br /> In 1931 Churchill had begun what would become a decade spent out of power and out of favor frequently at odds with both his own Conservative Party and prevailing public sentiment. In early 1931 Churchill broke with his Party over the India Bill. Churchill spent formative time as a young 19th century cavalry officer fighting on the northwest Indian frontier about which he would write his first published book. He certainly did not adopt an early progressive attitude toward relinquishing control over the crown jewel of Britain's colonial empire. Nonetheless it is instructive to remember that many of Churchill's dire warnings about Indian independence proved prophetic. Churchill had warned that too swift a British withdrawal from India would lead to bloody civil war and sectarian strife between Hindus and Muslims Hindu domination and destabilizing political balkanization of the subcontinent. All these predictions came to pass and to a considerable extent persist today. <br /> <br />Punch or The London Charivari began featuring Churchill cartoons in 1900 when his political career was just beginning. That political career would last two thirds of a century see him occupy Cabinet office during each of the first six decades of the twentieth century carry him twice to the premiership and further still into the annals of history as a preeminent statesman. And throughout that time Punch satirized Churchill in cartoons more than 600 of them the work of more than 50 different artists. <br /> <br />It was a near-perfect relationship between satirists and subject.

ST. WINSTON AND THE BRITISH LION. - an original printed appearance of this cartoon featuring Winston S. Churchill from the 18 April 1928 edition of the magazine Punch or The London Charivari
London: Punch 1928. This original printed appearance of a Punch cartoon featuring Winston S. Churchill comes from the personal collection of Gary L. Stiles author of Churchill in Punch Unicorn Publishing Group 2022. His book is the first ever effort to definitively catalog describe and contextualize all of the many Punch cartoons featuring Churchill. <br /> <br />This cartoon titled "ST. WINSTON AND THE BRITISH LION." appeared thus on p.435 of the 18 April 1928 issue of Punch. The artist is Bernard Partridge. The cartoon is captioned "MR. PUNCH PRESENTS THE ABOVE CARTOON IN CELEBRATION OF THE FOURTH CENTENARY OF THE DEATH OF ALBRECHT DURER." In the cartoon as the British Lion rests watchfully at Churchill's feet Churchill - then Chancellor of the Exchequer - works diligently on the budget. Of note are the knives and scissors and the hour glass showing time running out. Albrecht Durer 1471-1548 like Churchill a Renaissance man was a German printer and printmaker known to da Vinci and Raphael. <br /> <br />When this cartoon was published Churchill was a dozen years and an unrecognizable world away from his wartime premiership - a premiership that saw him become indelibly associated with the British Lion ubiquitous in British heraldry for the better part of a thousand years. The association with Churchills rumbling oratory and implacably steadfast wartime leadership was perhaps inevitable. The iconic photographic portrait of Churchill taken on 30 December 1941 by Yousef Karsh among the most famous photographic images of the twentieth century - came to be known as The Roaring Lion. Years later in remarks on his 80th birthday in 1954 Churchill would remark on his legacy: It was the nation and the race dwelling all round the globe that had the lions heart. I had the luck to be called upon to give the roar. <br /> <br />Punch or The London Charivari began featuring Churchill cartoons in 1900 when his political career was just beginning.
