‎Lungershausen Ilse 1900 1991‎

‎Nine Nesting Blocks Featuring 45 Brightly Colored Lithographs by Ilse Lungershausen‎

‎West Germany. NA. Very Good. N.d. late 1940s to early 1950s. The largest block measures 22 cm or 8.5 inches square and the smallest 6 cm or 2.5 inches with each successive block about 1.5 cm or .5 inches larger than the preceding one. The illustrations applied to a particular block tend to have some element in common -- fruits on one or farm animals teddy bears or some other cohesive element with the largest and most prominent block being the one that is always exposed showing scenes from fairy tales. Ilse Lungershausen was a prolific illustrator of children's books and toys. The fairy tale scenes in particular will bring to mind Disney style and some of the other illustrations have a kinship to other mid-20th century juvenile illustration such as the Sally Dick and Jane primers used in the English-speaking world. The Snow White litho on the largest block has loss on the bottom running between one and two inches tall and representing perhaps 15 percent of the image and the wood behind this paper loss is also a little chewed up. Otherwise some wear along the edges both of the paper and the wood but all the other images barring a few trivial losses are virtually entirely intact. <br/><br/> unknown books‎

‎STEVESON Adlai 1900 1975‎

‎Typed Letter Signed‎

‎Chicago 1953. First. unbound. very good. Outstanding T.L.S. 4to. 1 page personal stationary Chicago August 31 1953 to political adviser and Pulitzer Prize recipient Leland Stowe in part: ".I am baffled by the sudden change of attitude about McCarthy by many people I have talked to but perhaps "baffled" is not the word exactly. At any rate there seems to be a feeling he is slipping fast since his attack on the clergy and for me to proceed too aggressively would be to reinvigorate him because of the Protestant political implications." Stevenson's dilemma: McCarthy a staunch Catholic aligned himself with Joseph P. Kennedy a powerful Democrat and another rabid anti-Communist. The relationship was so strong that McCarthy even dated Kennedy daughters Patricia and Eunice. In addition to this Senator John F. Kennedy who served with McCarthy did not support Kennedy's Republican opponent Henry Cabot Lodge. As all this was happening McCarthy became godfather to Robert F. Kennedy's first child Kathleen and would later select Robert as a Council serving on this committee. After all Joseph Kennedy had an agenda: he would support McCarthy as a national Catholic politician who in return might help pave the way for a younger Kennedy's Presidential candidacy. Fine condition.<br/><br/> American politician and diplomat who served as Governor of Illinois from 1949-1953. In 1952 and 1956 he was selected as the Democratic Party's candidate for President.<br/><br/> unknown books‎
