RACHILDE
"Je ne veux pas du tout vous laisser croire que l'oeuvre de Claude Farrère les Petites Alliées est un ouvrage de basse littérature"" Autograph letter signed about Claude Farrère
Bas-Vignons 1910. Fine. Bas-Vignons 24 août 1910 13.70 x 21 cm 2 pages sur un double feuillet Unpublished autograph letter signed by Rachilde two pages written in black ink on a double sheet with Mercure de France letterhead. Interesting letter addressed to an unknown recipient perhaps a ""naval officer"". Rachilde defends Les Petites Alliées by Claude Farrère and his style in general: ""Je ne veux pas du tout vous laisser croire que l'oeuvre de Claude Farrère les Petites Alliées est un ouvrage de basse littérature . Claude Farrère est un très joli écrivain qui joint aux becs de sa plume une pointe de dandysme laquelle pointe peut le faire mal juger aussi bien par vous que par moi mais n'en demeure pas moins littéraire."" ""I do not want you to believe at all that Claude Farrère's work les Petites Alliées is a work of low literature . Claude Farrère is a very fine writer who adds to his pen's nibs a touch of dandyism which touch may make him badly judged by you as well as by me but nonetheless remains literary."" This ""touch of dandyism"" led to an amusing misunderstanding as highlighted by Henri Troyat Farrère's successor at the French Academy in his reception speech: ""As for the feminist Rachilde deceived by the first name Claude she had led a fierce campaign for Farrère taking him for a fellow woman writer."" unknown

Light marginal spotting not touching image otherwise in very fresh fine condition. An engraving from the Description de l'Egypte one of the masterpieces of French printing and the birth of a new field: Egyptology. A gigantic survey of Egypt at the time of Bonaparte's conquests in 1798 and 1799 the work is divided into 13 volumes of engravings making up 892 plates of which 72 colored as well as presenting the splendors of the Egypt of the Pharaohs in 9 volumes. The other volumes discuss natural history and present a fascinating portrait of Coptic and Islamic Egypt as it was seen by Bonaparte's Eastern Armies. The Egyptian campaign' militarily a disaster demonstrates through the engravings of the Description d'Egypte the scientific success it nonetheless became thanks to the 167 expert members of the Commission of the Sciences and Arts of the Institut d'Egypte Egyptian Institute who followed Napoleon's army. The Institut gathered together in Egypt the mathematician Monge the chemist Berthollet the naturalist Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire as well as numerous artists engineers architects and doctors. They were tasked with re-discovering modern and ancient Egypt and displaying its natural treasures as well as the know-how of its inhabitants.This edition the so-called Imperial edition of the plates for the Description de l'Egypte was printed in four large formats two of which were specially created for it and christened Moyen-Egypte and Grand-Egypte. A special press was built to print it the process extending over 20 years from 1809 to 1829. The Imperial edition proved so popular that a second edition this time in black and white and without the Egypte ancienne et moderne watermark known as the Royal Edition was published during the Restoration by the printing house of C.-L.-F. Panckoucke Paris.The engravings of the Description d'Egypte owe a great deal to Baron Dominique-Vivant Denon illustrator diplomat collector and later Director of the Musée Napoléon the Louvre. His exploration of the South of Egypt gave Bonaparte the idea of sending the experts of the Institut there thus creating a faithful and complete portrait of the area. This was the research gathered together from 1802 in the mammoth Description de L'Egypte.Denon embarked on this story of archeological exploration at the age of 51 reaching first Alexandria and then Cairo before exploring Upper Egypt. Along with the members of the Institut d'Egypte the Natural History Museum's painter H.J. Redouté brother of Pierre-Joseph Redouté author of Roses the mineralogist Dolomiue and the draughtsman Joly Denon then explored the Nile Delta and Lower Egypt. When however he joined the 21st Light Infantry Regiment as it marched across Upper Egypt in pursuit of the retreating Mameluks in November 1798 he found himself the only civilian. In the very midst of the battle itself he reeled off sketches of the works of art that peppered his path right up to the threshold of the Sudan. He said that he had crossed a country that is apart from its name entirely unknown to Europeans and therefore everything was worth describing Voyages dans la Basse et la Haute Egypte pendant les campagnes Imprimerie Impériale unknown

He said that he had crossed a country that is apart from its name entirely unknown to Europeans and therefore everything was worth describing Voyages dans la Basse et la Haute Egypte pendant les campagnes Imprimerie Impériale unknown

RAFT, George (1895-1980), and HASSO, Signe (1915-2002)
Signatures and Inscriptions / Unsigned Photograph
Although Raft like James Cagney could dance elegantly no actor was more typecast as a gangster than this star of the 1930s and '40s whose roles in such films as "Scarface" 1932 was reinforced by his real world mafia connections; in Billy Wilder's "Some Like It Hot" 1959 and Jerry Lewis's "The Ladies Man" 1961 he played a comic caricature of his earlier self. Hasso was the Swedish-born "next Garbo" who appeared in a number of films in the 1940s; in later years she achieved some success as a writer and composer. "To Donald / a swell fellow / My Best / George Raft" in blue ballpoint on an irregular roughly oval-shaped slip about 4½" X 3" n.p. n.y. ca. 1960. Very good. On a heavy linen stock with three small tape stains slightly touching upon a couple letters. "Febr. 3rd 69 / With all good wishes / Signe Hasso" in bold black fineline heavy stock 5" X 3" card n.p. Fine. With original envelope. This nice pair is accompanied by an unsigned 10" X 8" black-and-white photograph a closeup of the pair dancing together in the 1945 film noir classic "Johnny Angel."

RAIMU
". L'arlésienne ne pourra pas se faire parce que monsieur gendre Prouvost et cie sont des couillons. Et des gens sans aucune descisions"" Virulent signed autograph letter addressed to his great friend Carlo Rim about an aborted film project
Paris: S. n. 1941. Fine. S. n. Paris 13 juin 1941 14 x 19.50 cm trois feuilles recto-verso Autograph letter dated June 13th Carlo Rim having specified in pencil at the head of the first leaf 1941 and signed by Raimu addressed to his great friend Carlo Rim 98 lines in black ink on three leaves recto-verso. Folds inherent to mailing. Raimu rails against the incapacity and indecision of those responsible for a film project entitled l'Arlésienne quite a symbol! of which Carlo Rim was part: ""L'arlésienne ne pourra pas se faire parce que monsieur gendre Prouvost et cie sont des couillons. Et des gens sans aucune descisions. Donc affaire morte."" ""l'Arlésienne cannot be made because monsieur son-in-law Prouvost and company are fools. And people without any decisions. So the matter is dead."" "". tous les mois il change d'idées et dieu sait s'il en a mais tout cela se termine par des idées. jamais il ne tournera pas plus le tien que celui des autres il a peut-être de l'argent mais il ne veut pas le sortir. Genre Prouvost."" "". every month he changes his mind and God knows he has ideas but all this ends with ideas. he will never shoot yours any more than those of others he may have money but he doesn't want to spend it. That's Prouvost for you."" Raimu ever so irascible does not calm down and drowns his friend's last hopes about the forthcoming realization of l'Arlésienne: ""Mon vieux Carlo à l'heure actuelle les deux pauvres studios de Nice sont pris jusqu'à fin septembre par des gens qui eux prennent les descisions et qui verse de l'argent. donc tu vois mon pauvre vieux ce sont tous des bonimenteurs Honnebelle - Prouvost. des gens plein aux as mais ils ne veulent pas les sortir."" ""My dear Carlo at present the two poor studios in Nice are booked until the end of September by people who do make decisions and who put up money. so you see my poor friend they are all smooth talkers Honnebelle - Prouvost. people loaded with money but they don't want to spend it."" "". il trouvera 100 excuses pour ne pas tourner et elles lui seront faciles."" "". he will find 100 excuses not to shoot and they will come easily to him.""and ends his epistolary diatribe with this glacial criticism:""Mon Carlo il n'y a plus rien à faire en province que de la barraque et à écarter les marchands de boniments. because que depuis la fille du puisatier je n'ai entendu que des bobards. En plus il faudrait faire des films à la noix."" ""My Carlo there is nothing left to do in the provinces but fairground shows and to ward off the peddlers of smooth talk. because since la fille du puisatier I have heard nothing but tall tales. Plus we would have to make trashy films."" Carlo Rim was a Provençal writer author notably of ""Ma belle Marseille"" a caricaturist a filmmaker: ""Justin de Marseille"" ""L'armoire volante"" ""La maison Bonnadieu"" and was notably the friend of Fernandel Raimu and Marcel Pagnol but also of Max Jacob and André Salmon whom he met in Sanary.

RAIMU
Importante lettre autographe signée adressée à Carlo Rim à propos d'un différend regardant le droit de propriété intellectuelle du film ""Hercule""
Paris 1938. Fine. Paris 5 avril 1938 20.50 x 26.50 cm une feuille Autograph letter signed by Raimu addressed from his Parisian home to Carlo Rim 25 lines in black ink assuring him of his support and providing his epistolary testimony being unable to be physically present at a legal appointment concerning the film Hercule for which Carlo Rim claims authorship: ""Je regrette de ne pouvoir me rendre en tant que témoin à l'arbitrage que tu as solliciter sic de la société des auteurs. Mais ce que je puis te rappeler c'est que je connais Hercule depuis que je te connais toi même. Que tu m'as toujours parlé de ce film que tu me destinais d'ailleurs et que les évènements ne m'ont pas permis de tourner. Et surtout que tu m'as donné lecture de ton scénario sur ma demande à Jacques Feyder et à Loureau . qui voulaient faire un film avec moi il y a 4 ans."" ""I regret not being able to appear as a witness at the arbitration you have requested from the society of authors. But what I can remind you is that I have known Hercule since I have known you yourself. That you have always spoken to me about this film that you intended for me and that events did not allow me to shoot. And above all that you read me your screenplay at my request to Jacques Feyder and Loureau. who wanted to make a film with me 4 years ago."" Carlo Rim appears to have won his case against director Jacques Feyder certainly thanks to this letter from Raimu who had initially been chosen by Carlo Rim to create the eponymous role of Hercule. The film a satire of the Parisian press would finally be released on March 5 1938 and was jointly directed by Alexandre Esway and Carlo Rim with Fernandel as Hercule and Gaby Morlay Jules Berry and Pierre Brasseur in the main roles. Central folds inherent to postal folding. Carlo Rim was a Provençal writer author notably of ""Ma belle Marseille"" a caricaturist a filmmaker: ""Justin de Marseille"" ""L'armoire volante"" ""La maison Bonnadieu"" and was notably the friend of Fernandel Raimu and Marcel Pagnol but also of Max Jacob and André Salmon whom he met in Sanary. unknown

Rainer Maria RILKE - (Elya Maria NEVAR)
"Ce que tu as écrit à propos de mercredi dernier ce mercredi si richement nôtre m'a réjoui le cur"" Autograph letter signed to Elya Maria Nevar
Munich 1918. Fine. Letter to a Young Artist Munich Sonntag dimanche 3 novembre 1918 14.40 x 18.50 cm 2 pages et demi sur un bifeuillet enveloppe jointe Autograph letter in German signed by Rainer Maria Rilke to actress Else Hotop to whom he writes under her stage name Elya Maria Nevar. 2 1/2 pages written on a bifolium watermarked Sackleinen. Autograph envelope enclosed addressed to Else Hotop bearing postmarks dated November 3 1918.Published in Freundschaft mit Rainer Maria Rilke 1946 p. 35. A precious piece of Rilkes correspondence reflecting the delights of an enchanted afternoon spent during WW1 with the actress Elya Nevar one of his most fervent admirers. The truly active and creative period of young Elyas and Rainer-Marias attachment to each other is the beginning of their friendship with the discovery of the unknown the surprise of affinities that are revealed and finally what is so important in friendship as in love this intimacy that begins during a Bavarian autumn while the tumult of war rumbles in the distance Marcel Brion. This letter belongs to the beginnings of his relationship with the young Elya Nevar guardian of his solitude during Rilkes troubled Munich period where he experienced an inspiration crisis between The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge and the Duino Elegies. We are just a few days away from the end of WW1. After brief encounters the previous year Rilke had rediscovered Elya Else Hotop during the summer of 1918 on the theater stage. Every evening he came to admire the actress nineteen years his junior who played the role of a medieval princess in a piece inspired by a 15th-century epic poem. She borrowed her characters stage name Elya by which Rilke addresses her. Their correspondence began a few weeks earlier after an intensely poetic note by Elya who greatly admired his Book of Hours 1905: she regards him as THE poet indestructible admirable and accepts everything from him including his indifference Rilke Catherine Sauvat. Romantic and cerebral the poet makes up for his absences with a beautiful declaration of affection in this letter: even if I was put off by many things from the intention of writing to you immediately at your first letter my attention has been close to you at many moments and it is so whenever you think you need it dear child. In spite of this they would spend moments together which soothed Rilke afflicted by a deep creative crisis and affected by the war years.I would have asked you to send me the book with your notes but look: when I got home late at night it was on my table. And since youre already familiar with the language of seals in our exchanges: you who are sincerely attentive. His mention of seal language alludes to one of their ritual Wednesday afternoon meetings at Rilkes house; the poet had gifted Elya a removable seal which could alternatively house a set of ten double-sided sigils engraved with symbols and written captions: We spent an afternoon playing like children drafting the twenty seals on a sheet of drawing paper and Rainer Maria wrote the text underneath in his delicate handwriting. The book with my notes mentioned by Rilke above was sealed with a sigil depicting an ancient mask with the inscription Lift it up! she later recalled. True to her art the actress had chosen the actors mask as her symbol. Rilke himself had a fascination for seals; he used the greyhound coat of arms inherited from his Czechoslovakian grandfather to seal his correspondence; and toward the end of his life living in Muzot he wished for these same arms to appear on his tombstone and accompany him into eternity. The poet was grateful for this delightfully quaint activity alongside his medieval princess fond of his eminently medieval Book of Hours: What you have written about the previous Wednesday this Wednesday so richly ours has gladdened my heart. As Marcel Brion observes it was in he unknown

Rainwater, Dorothy T
American Jewelry Manufacturers
Atglen PA: Schiffer Publishing. First edition. Hard cover in dust jacket. Published Atglen PA: Schiffer Publishing 1988. 4to. 8 3/4" x 11 1/4" 296pp. illustrated throughout with reproductions. Blue cloth with pale blue titles marbled endpapers. "The identification and dating of American jewelry heretofore has been difficult because few pieces bear standard markings and the references have been diverse hard to find and incomplete. Using old trade journals and their related directories as her primary sources the eminent silver historian Dorothy Rainwater has exhaustively compiled here for the first time a comprehensive reference of jewelry trademarks and manufacturers in alphabetical order. She has also written a history of jewelry making in the United States which explains the framework upon which this enormous industry was built. The large scale manufacturers which began in the 1840s form a major portion of this directory. it is surprising to learn that only in 1961 after years of effort by the Jeweler's Vigilance Committee and the backing of trade journals did American law require makers' marks on new jewelry. Therefore this reference should become an important sourcebook for every jeweler collector antique jewelry dealer and manufacturing historian for the foreseeable future." As new in as new dust jacket. . As New. Hard. 1st. 1988. Schiffer Publishing unknown
