MITCHEL John Purroy 1879 1918
Typed Note Signed
"The Boy Mayor of New York" a rough-and-tumble reformer who was elected in 1914 at the astonishing age of 34 making him New York City's youngest ever mayor; he lost his bid for reelection though and joining the Air Service in 1918 he died just shy of his 39th birthday in a training accident over Louisiana -- apparently he forgot to fasten his seat belt and fell from his aircraft plummeting 500 feet to his death. TNS 1p 5" X 8" New York NY 1914 June 16. Addressed to Charles T. White New York City's tax commissioner better known as a noted Abraham Lincoln scholar. Near fine. On City of New York / Office of the Mayor" letterhead Mitchel simply notes "Permit me to thank you for your kind note of congratulation." Cryptic but intriguing and worth further research. Huge bold full signature. A rather uncommon signature given his early demise. unknown

SCALI John 1918 95
Signed Printed Document
This ABC news reporter entered diplomacy when he acted as an intermediary during the Cuban Missile Crisis helping divert a disaster; in 1971 President Nixon named him his foreign affairs advisor; from 1973 to 1975 he served as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Signed Printed Document 8" X 10" 7pp recto and verso; 4 leaves New York NY 1974 December 6. Near fine. Stapled at upper left as issued; two faint horizontal original folds. Standard mimeographed press release issued by the "United States Delegation to the General Assembly" titled "Statement by Ambassador John Scali. on Strengthening the Role of the United Nations." In a blank area at top center of the first page the ambassador boldly pens "with best wishes / from / John Scali" in black fineline. In this speech Scali deplores "the growing tendency of this Organization to adopt one-sided unrealistic resolutions that cannot be implemented" as well as "a new threat -- an arbitrary disregard of United Nations Rules even of its Charter." He goes on to cite numerous instances of both closing with: ".we must now renew our commitment to the central principles of tolerance and harmony upon which the United Nations charter was built. We must redouble our efforts to use this Organization as the world's ultimate instrument for compromise and negotiation. I pledge my nation to these efforts." Most unusual in this form. unknown

"N.� 6068 LE TRE GRAZIE G. SOMMER NAPOLI Largo Vittoria Palazzo Sommer"
G. Sommer Napoli 1880. Fotografia all'Albumina montata su cartone. Dimensioni complessive: 17 x 11 cm. Non comune. Databile al 1880 circa. Giorgio Sommer Francoforte sul Meno 1834 Napoli 1914 � stato un fotografo italo-tedesco. Dopo gli studi commerciali si dedic� completamente alla fotografia divenendo uno dei pi� famosi e prolifici fotografi del XIX secolo. Lavor� dapprima in Svizzera ove produsse immagini in rilievo di montagne per il governo elvetico. Nel 1856 trasfer� i suoi affari a Napoli e successivamente 1866 form� un sodalizio con il fotografo tedesco Edmund Behles noto anche come Edmondo Behles che possedeva uno studio a Roma. Operando dai rispettivi studi a Napoli e a Roma Sommer e Behles divennero i pi� prolifici produttori di fotografie in Italia. Il suo catalogo includeva immagini dai Musei Vaticani dal Museo archeologico nazionale di Napoli le rovine romane a Pompei ma anche strade ed architetture di Napoli Firenze Roma Capri e Sicilia. Le pi� notevoli fra tutte sono quelle da lui pubblicate nell'album Dintorni di Napoli che conteneva pi� di un migliaio di immagini di architetture e "scene di vita quotidiana" a Napoli. Le "scene di vita quotidiana" erano in realt� ricostruite in studio essendo all'epoca impossibile per i tempi d'esposizione riprendere soggetti in movimento; esse sono spesso macchiate da un vieto folklore. Nel 1872 document� l'eruzione del Vesuvio in una serie di affascinanti fotografie. Sommer e Behles parteciparono a numerose esposizioni vincendo innumerevoli premi e riconoscimenti per la loro opera Londra 1862 Parigi 1867 Vienna 1873 Norimberga 1885. Infine Sommer fu nominato fotografo ufficiale di Re Vittorio Emanuele II d'Italia. Oltre alle fotografie Sommer produsse stereografie illustrazioni per libri biglietti da visita. Grazie allo straordinario successo riscontrato apr� nuovi studi a Napoli: oltre quello in Via Chiaia 168 due a Via Monte di Dio e uno in Piazza della Vittoria. Si spense a Napoli nel 1914. senza rilegatura. quasi ottimo. G. Sommer Napoli unknown

Richard David Ellmann 1918 1987
Four Dubliners: Wilde Yeats Joyce and Beckett
122 pages with photographs facsimiles and index. Royal octavo 9 1/4" x 6" bound in original publisher's half beige cloth with gilt lettering to spine over green cloth in gilt lettering in original jacket. First edition. In four Library of Congress lectures also published as articles in New York Review of Books the eminent literary biographer who died in May finds interesting if not new things to say about four great Irish-born writers: Oscar Wilde influenced by Ruskin and Pater at Oxford wavering between Roman Catholicism and atheism between homo- and heterosexuality; W .B. Yeats after a "monkey-gland" operation writing several great poems toward the end of his life; James Joyce trying to start love affairs to provide background for the Nausicaa chapter in Ulysses; Samuel Beckett sumptuous in his use of language isolating nearly renouncing particulars and depriving his characters of money youth health and fortitude. Ellmann finds connections as well as differences among these writers. Because of what Beckett has written his Irish predecessors "take on a different look. Because of their work he may not seem quite so rootless as he first appears." Condition: Near fine in like jacket. George Braziller hardcover

FRONT EVERYWHERE
London: Hutchinson & Co. Good with no dust jacket. 1935. Presumed First UK Edition. Hardcover. In the original Blue boards with gilt titling to the spine. No dust-jacket. The boards are generally clean with a little light wear - mainly to the head/tail of the spine an indent across the word 'Front' on the spine and a small split to the rear top edge of the spine.

There is also a Catalogue at the end of the book for "Hutchinson's Important New Books for the Spring 1935" which lists this book. Generally clean page fore-edgs with the odd scattered pale spot - negligible. Probably lacks a plain blank front free end paper as the book starts at the half-title. NO Inscriptions or Marks. The odd tiny very occasional spot inside but overall VERY Clean internally. 298 pp 24 pp Catalogue at the end as noted above. A b/w portrait frontispiece of the Author and 23 other b/w plates/photo illustrations including facsimile documents etc 1 folding Index.
