DREISER Theodore 1871 1945
Autograph letter signed "Theodore Dreiser" to Geoffrey Parsons of the New York Herald Tribune New York 1 May 1931
Two pages 4to. On Dreiser's letterhead. Small stain on verso otherwise in fine condition. Dreiser writes in to Geoffrey Parsons the editor of the New York Herald Tribune from 1924-1952 describing a writing submission that he has attached with the letter: "Your general and varied courtesies to me but more particularly the general fairness with which you have regarded my views. make me mindful of things which may be entertaining to your readers. The enclosed letter and . which . well be entitled Fifty Million Frenchmen . in my estimation one such bit. If you agree you are welcome to it for your Sunday paper. All I ask is that you hold it for three weeks by which time L'Ordre will have had time to publish or discard it if they see fit. I am -- Yours truly Theodore Dreiser" In 1931 Dreiser became actively involved in the American Writers' League as well as the National Committee for the Defense of Political Prisoners. During this year he also published Dawn: An Autobiography of Early Youth and Tragic America. Dreiser described having a complex relationship with news publications during the 1930s. He stated in 1936 that "many newspapers" had "glossed over" his political views. Nonetheless Dreiser did contribute several interviews as well as poems and book reviews to the New York Herald Tribune during Geoffrey Parsons' term as editor. In an interview given to the Tribune the month before this letter Dreiser discussed dissatisfaction with the Hollywood film adaptation of Tragic America retitled An American Tragedy Frederic E. Rusch and Donald Pizer eds. Theodore Dreiser: Interviews pp. 329 2004. Dreiser's use of the title "Fifty Million Frenchmen" is likely a reference to the 1929 Broadway musical of the same name with music and lyrics by Cole Porter. The piece referred to here as "Fifty Million Frenchmen" was not published as such in either the New York Herald Tribune or in any other newspaper. He published another letter to the editor in the Tribune in February of 1932 replying to a review of Tragic America.

Original black bonded leather with gilt-stamped spine and cover onlay. A fine copy. FIRST EDITION no date on the title-page; copyright page dated only 1976. Issued as the companion to Eggleston's seminal 1976 exhibition at MoMA a landmark in the history of photography. "I once heard William Eggleston say that the nominal subjects of his pictures were no more than a pretext for the making of color photographs-the Degas position. I did not believe him although I can believe that it might be an advantage to think so or to pretend to think so. To me it seems that the pictures reproduced here are about the photographer's home about his place in both important meanings of that word. One might say about his identity" John Szarkowski pp. 5-6. "As pictures . these seem to me perfect: irreducible surrogates for the experience they pretend to record visual analogues for the quality of one life collectively a paradigm of a private view a view one would have thought ineffable described here with clarity fulness and elegance" ibid. p. 14.

Christoffers Harry J. d. 1939
CAPTIONED PHOTOGRAPH ARCHIVE DEPICTING ALASKAN SEALS
1939. Photographs with some minor curling at corners. Each with stamp to verso: "Mar 9 1939 / E.H.F.". 14 b/w images 7-7/8" x 9-7/8". Possibly unpublished; while it's entirely reasonable to expect these images may have been published in a small forum such as in a government journal or report initial research is unable to confirm such. <br/><br/>Initially appointed by President Taft in 1911 no doubt as a outgrouth of the North Pacific Fur Seal Convention of 1911 Christoffers served with the Bureau of Fisheries till the 1930s rising to the position of Chief Warden. From mss notes on the back of each image we see Christoffers is credited for photographing these 14 scenes and presumably is also the author of the seal activity observations often quite detailed regarding each image also recorded on the photograph verso. The images show divers aspects of the herd with the 'Bull' often featured e.g. "The Harem Master. His favorite resting place a large rock from where he can commanad attention of his silver haired beauties and keep an eye open for interlopers." unknown books

Two black and white Kodak photographs are included printed in 1957 presumably from a negative of Robert Pullen's famous shots of the "Sea Dragon" taken just before its doomed maiden voyage. Letters: 14" x 8-1/2". Photographs:. <br/><br/>Who took the first aerial picture of Mount Everest after receiving express permission by stunning the Majarajah of Nepal with bi-plane aerobatics Richard Halliburton was a legendary American travel writer and adventurer. Reading stories of his feats and antics seem surreal - after all who flies an airplane upside down over the Taj Mahal Halliburton was born in January of 1900 in Brownsville Tennessee. Deciding at an early age not to settle down and grow old with a wife and family as the rest of his family and friends seemed to be doing. After graduating from Princeton Halliburton traveled on as many adventures as possible and published his first novel The Royal Road to Romance in 1925 at the tender age of 25. His first novel became a bestseller and was followed by more published adventures in 1927 and 1929. He enjoyed fame and adventures for a little over a decade before deciding in 1938 that his next grand feat would be to cross the Pacific ocean from Hong Kong to the San Francisco International Exposition in a Chinese Junk ship made expressly for his purposes. It is on this voyage that Halliburton and the entire crew of the Junk the "Sea Dragon" were lost at sea having gotten caught in a typhoon. In 1945 a 150-foot ship outline with Chinese lettering washed ashore in California this thought to possibly be some of the wreckage of the "Sea Dragon." Letter I: Halliburton describes the arrival in China and purpose of the expedition as well as his interest in junks stemming from a 1 ft. scale model he sailed as a child. He explains that he chose to use a junk for his journey because of their stability and notes that it is possible it will not be the smoothest ride. He quips: "If the junk should be small the storms violent and the voyage long - all the better. For if there is no hazard no battle where is the sport" He introduces the "friends" of the expedition to his crew of Captain John Welch Henry von Fehren "Bru" Potter among others. Halliburton also spends a significant amount of time discussing the war with China and Japan and the Japanese belief systems. Letter 2: The second letter discusses the search for an appropriate junk and the ultimate decision to build their own that could be modified for the journey. Working with the man said to be the best ship-builder in Hong Kong Mr. Fat Kau and the appropriation of a few more crew members a chef and a radio operator. Letter 3: The third letter posted from Canton desribes their taking the Sea Dragon out for a "shake down" cruise with Mr. Fat Kau as his guest who though a builder of ships had never sailed on one and with high seas nearly everyone aboard became seasick. Halliburton notes the dry deck despite the high waves and believes he was right about the Sea Dragon's sea-worthiness. Much of the rest of the letter is spent discussing Canton the disputes between the Chinese and Japanese the destruction the looters and other conditions in the city. Letter 4: After setting out on their voyage the Sea Dragon needed to return after only 2 days due to sickness on the boat. Though Halliburton seems only a trifle annoyed at the delay of their voyage he is excited enough to try again and leaves his readers with this: "In about another week we plan to leave again to slip away as quietly as possible and head east once more around the southern tip of Formosa - and straight on to Midway. If all goes well the next letter the fifth will carry an American stamp for Midway Island is American. When this the fourth letter reaches you we'll be a thousand miles along the way - I hope. Many thanks again for your interest and good will. Faithfully Richard Halliburton" The Trans-Pacific Chinese Junk Expedition, Inc unknown books
