‎Carte postale autographe signée adressée à Juan Luis Buñuel • Handwritten signed postcard addressed to Juan Luis Bunuel‎

‎1967. Fine. s. d. ca 1967 15.70 x 10.80 cm une carte postale Handwritten signed postcard addressed to Juan Luis Buñuel s.dca 1967 15.7 x 10.8 cm a postcard Handwritten postcard signed by Alexander Calder addressed to Juan Luis Buñuel on the back of a reproduction of his work On the High Wire. Two small perforations in the upper margin of the card as is usual in Juan Luis Buñuel's collection. ”What an incredible face Luis had I was glad to see “Belle de Jour” for the first time.” In 1939 Luis Buñuel who had just received an offer to work in Hollywood decided with his wife and child to leave the chaotic situation in Europe to go and live the American Dream. The penniless Buñuels initially spent a few precarious months living in New York. Luis Buñuel found himself forced to ask Dali—his longstanding friend in exile along with Gala during these years—to lend him some money. His request was refused in no uncertain terms putting an end to the two men's friendship. Thus it was Calder whom Luis had perhaps already met in Paris in the 1920s who put the whole family up in his Upper Side apartment. Juan Luis Buñuel the artist's godson sensed that his interest in sculpture began in this same period: “When Dali told my father he would not lend him any money he contacted him Calder. He offered his house to us and we lived with his family for a time. I can only vaguely remember it but it was then that I started to become interested in sculpture and he encouraged me” Anton Casto Juan Luis una entrevista. Despite the geographical distance that would come to separate them Alexander Calder would remain a friend of the Buñuel family. The relationship between the artist and the film-maker is however almost entirely absent from the biographies and this correspondence is a rare testimony to the profound connection between the sculptor and the Buñuel family. unknown‎

‎SANNAZARIUS‎

‎Actii Sinceri Sannazarii Patricii Neapolitani Opera omnia latine scripta ex secundis curis J. Broukhusii. Accedunt Gabrielis Altilii Danielis Cereti & fratrum Amaltheorum carmina; vitae Sannazarianae & notae Petri Vlamingii.‎

‎Amsterdam Amstelaedami Apud viduam Gerardi onder den Linden 1728. 8vo. IIXVIII errata63220 index & errata p. frontispiece 1 engraved plate 1 text engraving. Green vellum. 20 cm Ref: STCN ppn 189042265; Brunet 5127: 'Bonne édition'; Graesse 6/1265; Ebert 20263 Details: This book has 2 different title pages. This anomaly tell us about a publisher's death and the efforts of his widow to continue the firm. The very first title bound before the frontispiece is printed in black has no printer's mark and shows the impressum: 'Amstelaedami Apud Gerardum Onder de Linden 1727'. The second title bound after the frontispiece is printed in red and black has a printer's mark but is now dated 1728 and published 'apud Viduam Gerardi Onder de Linden'. Gerard Onder de Linden died in 1727 leaving Vlaming's Opera edition of Sannazarius unfinished. In the 'Boekzaal der geleerde waerelt' volume 25 of december 1727 the public was informed that the widow who hoped to continue the business with the help of God was planning to publish the Sannazarius' edition soon. 'De Weduwe Gerard Onder de Linden die in afwagtinge van Godts hulp met hare winkel enz. in alles zal continueren zal in 't kort uitgeven 'Actii Sinceri Sannazarii . Opera' We couldnot find in the STCN and KVK any copy of Vlaming's edition dated 1727. The title page of 1727 was apparantly removed in most copies. In the mean time the widow had apparantly decided to print a more posh red-and-black title adorned with a printer's mark. She added also a nice frontispiece with her name on it designed and executed by 2 wellknown Dutch artists. She did so in cooperation with the Amsterdam printer Hermannus Uytwerf who brought copies on the market with his own imprint. The rest is identical. § Vellum dyed green. Back with 5 raised bands and a red morocco shield in the second compartment. Edges dyed red. The frontispiece designed by J. Goeree and executed by J. Houbraken depicts a bare-breasted Fama holding in her right hand her trumpet and a shield with the portrait of Sannazarius; on the shield his name: Actius Sincerus Sannazarius; under the left arm of Fame rests a scroll with the table of contents. § Printer's mark on the title depicting Fama flying above symbols of wisdom and blowing her trumpet. The motto is derived from Martial X212 and reads: 'Non norunt haec monumenta mori' 'These monuments donot know how to die'. § Text engraving on page 491 at the beginning of a biography of Sannazarius by Joannes Antonius Vulpius; depicted are both sides of a bronze medallion on the recto the portrait of Sannazarius and on the verso a scene with the birth of Christ referring to Sannazarius' 'De partu Virginis'. At p. 526 has been inserted a full page engraving of the 'Sannazaro Monument' in the church 'Santa Maria de Parto' a church built on the initiative of Sannazarius on a piece of land donated by king Frederick Frederigo of Aragon. The mausoleum erected in 1537 is a highlight of Napolitan Renaissance art. It was probably made after a design by Sannazarius himself Condition: Binding scuffed and worn at the extremes. Head and tail of the spine chafed. Corners bumped & slightly creased. Both joints splitting but strong. An old ink insciption on the 1728 title has been wiped out resulting in some stains. Paper yellowing Note: The Italian and Neo-latin poet Jacopo Sannazaro 1458 -1530 in Latin Jacobus Sannazarius also known as Actius Sincerus was of noble birth and a courtier at the court of the royal House of Aragon kings of Naples. Here he found a humanist atmosphere favourable for the development of his talents. The humanist Giovanni Gioviano Pontano 1426-1503 advisor and chancellor of the Aragonese dynasty became his intellectual mentor. He took his young student in his Academy the 'Accademia Pontaniana' under the name of 'Actius Sincerus'. There he deeply influenced his pupil's philological approach to antiquity and his knowledge of classical culture. After Pontanus' death Sannazarius became the head of this Academy. Sannazarius' masterwork 'Arcadia' written in Italian exercised a great influence on European poetry instituting the theme of the idyllic land Arcadia. After having written the 'Arcadia' in vernacular Sannazarius devoted the last decades of his literary activity exclusively to Neo-Latin poetry modelled on Vergil. In the normative 'Tati Renaissance Library' Sannazarius is advertised as 'the finest Neo-Latin poet of the Italian Renaissance'. His 'corpus' of Latin poetry written in an elegant style was small but nevertheless very influential and widely read. We counted in KVK ca. 30 editions of his 'Opera Omnia' printed before 1730 the first of which was published by Aldus in 1535. His 'De partu Virginis' an epic of ca. 1450 verses published in 1526 brought him the title of the 'Christian Vergil'. His style is said to be equal to Vergil with whom he emulated. In his other works he also emulated with Ovid and Horace. § In this edition of 1728 we find in the first half Sannazaro's poetry; the collection opens with: 'De partu Virginis' a poem which Erasmus is said to have liked though he found this poem on the birth of Christ too secular. Follows a short 'De morte Christi Domini ad mortales lamentatio' then 6 'Eclogae' which renewed the bucolic genre the traditional shepherds of Virgil being replaced here by fishermen. Follow 3 books of Sannazarius' 'Elegiae' and 3 books of 'Epigrammata'. The section on Sannazaro ends with a number of 'Carmina de Sannazario et ad Sannazarium'. The second half of the book contains the short 'Epithalamium' of Gabriel Altilius called 'Sannazarii sodalis' and the even shorter 'Salix' of Daniel Ceretus. The greater part of the second half is filled with the 'Carmina' of the brothers Hieronymus Jo. Baptista and Cornelius Amaltheus Jeronimo born 1507 Giambatista born 1525 and Cornelio Amaltheo together 175 pages edited previously in 1689 by J. Graevius under the title 'Trium fratrum Amaltheorum Carmina'. Graevius' preface is also repeated here. All 3 brothers were skilled and highly appreciated neo-latin poets. Hieronymus so excelled in Latin poetry that he is placed by the French humanist Muretus 1526-1585 among the most talented poets. Giambatista's Latin poems gave him a reputation equal to his brother. After this section follows a biography of Sannazarius written by the Italian classical scholar Giovanni Antonio Volpi 1686-1766 in Latin Johannes Antonius Vulpius. After the biography we find on 54 pages a collection of select 'testimonia' concerning Sannazarius. The book concludes with 50 pages filled with the notes of the Dutch scholar Pieter Vlaming 1686-1733. Vlaming a minor poet had a life long interest in Sannazarius. In 1710 he began with his translation into Dutch of the 'Arcadia' and he later produced the notes in Latin to the present edition of the Latin poems of Sannazaro edited by the Dutch scholar Janus Broukhusius. In the introduction to this 1728 edition written by Vlaming he tells about his interest in Sannazarius: 'ab ineunte aetate imo pene puer unice semper sum admiratus maturiore hac mea veneror suspicio & colo'. p. 6 recto § Vlaming's edition still has great value for the Dutch researcher Corine Flinterman proves in her master paper 'In vergetelheid geraakte epigrammen van Iacopo Sannazaro' Amsterdam 2013 that the latest edition of Sannazaro's Latin works 'Jacopo Sannazaro. Latin Poetry' by Michael C.J. Putnam Cambridge Massachusetts 2009 The I Tatti Renaissance Library 38 suffers from many omissions and mistakes. A sad thing because Putnam's work is considered an authorative point of reference for experts in Renaissance studies. Putnam based his sloppy edition Flinterman reveals on some incomplete 18th century italian editions which lacked 13 anti-papal epigrams. § This title of 1728 seems to be rare for in American Exchange we found only 2 copies both auctioned by Sothebys in 1952 and in 1959 Collation: pi1 title 1727 2pi2 8 minus the leaves 1 & 2 chi1 errata A-2S8 minus the blank leaves 2S7 and 2S8; plate bound after p. 526 The STCN copy doesnot have the 1727 title nor the errata leaf at the end of the preliminaries. This errata leaf is almost identical to the errata leaf at the end Photographs on request hardcover‎

‎Pomona California CA 1888. On offer is an original late 19th Century interesting closely written long descriptive four 4 page manuscript letter dated Pomona California Feb 24 1888 from "Sarah" to her brother and sisters care of W. D. Yale Houseville Lewis County New York with printed religious tract envelope franked with US 2c green postage stamp Pomona Feb 25 postmark. Here are some snippets: "We now have 3 horses & sometimes 6 men & the Springs work goes on. He bought a big tan colored horse 'Fanny' . a splendid work horse but of course a poor match for the nervous kicking little carriage horse he bought before. Fanny cost $200 Dolly $150 & old Maggie still goes with the buckboard around. Took 4 boys & I on a fine ride to celebrate the 22nd George Washington's birthday a legal holiday went to Pomona Heights south of town lovely undulating hills now clothed in a carpet of green. We tied the horse so she could eat & walked a mile or more to the very top of the highest hill rested & found beautiful wild flowers 6 kinds so early. Returning we drove around a hill of trees brow of which they've made a nice broad graded road! And such a lovely view of hill & vale & towns . 400 people were there dotted in groups over the valley playing ball singing patriotic songs & just then returning homeward crowding the street car buggies etc. I've never rode after the team but once to the upper place. Our old place looks forlorn enough all left in ruins broken brick from the cellar scattered all around. They took all they could for a foundation to the house in its new place. Have set it up high 5 steps to go up made the front door into a window cut door from that room on to the piazza & painted the roof & that's all. Have Center St. & one cross street nicely graded now & there is more travel there than on this quiet street. We have but 3 neighbors beyond us. One is away ½ the time & one has no team to travel it. We miss the beautiful dark green orange trees with their golden fruit that used to surround our house. Here is nothing but bare leafless pear trees. Under one of them I have a bed of sweet scented blue English violets & 2 geraniums . barley hay . is all baled . bales that weigh over 200 lbs. are piled around the sides of the upper barn floor leaving a space in the center big enough to pitch a tent & under that the boys have their bedsteads trunks etc. One for Milo & Willie a single one for Elisha ." Writes of having lots of company . "we were 'taken' last Monday when 5 members of the Board of the new school that is to be marched in with 2 of our neighbors as escorts . They rode around town next morning had a business meeting but arrived at no conclusion yet! Wonder if they ever will! For Valentine's Day Willie bought two but recd. none while Elisha sent one & received two one comic & one rather pretty ." Mentions that the man doing their brick work took a 3 week old calf home to give to his lonely childless wife for a pet. "Thought they could feed it porridge so it would do well but I don't know . We saw no eclipse or not much -- 'twas too cloudy . The house was moved on rollers a slow job until they got it turned ½ way around & into the road then they went faster. It now faces south. Had but one horse with pulleys &c. . Don't think Milo expects to go to school any more or cares much about doing so. He likes farming plowing &c. if he only had the strength. Has been pretty well lately has painted some while another man uses the team. He likes to paint . signed Sarah. Both postal cover and 5 x 8 inch lettersheets are in good condition.

Howard is also involved with activities concerning his past life as a Civil War veteran such as conventions and exercises for the veterans. She also says in this 1911 diary that Howard has become deaf and it is very difficult for both him and her. There were other noteworthy entries include her accounts of the awful Triangle Shirt Waist Fire where well over 100 women lost their lives. Historians and collectors of New York City history will be hard pressed to find a more diligent 'reporter' and diarist. Here are some snippets: 1872 "January 15th Howard bought me this new diary this noon and I am very glad of it. I shall try and write about something besides the weather. Howard and pa got their own breakfast and dinner today. I don't think they would care to wait on themselves the year round. Julia came back from Springfield this afternoon. She had a pleasant visit with Em. Everything seems to be all lovely down there now that interesting son-in-law was perfectly serene. Mr. Chase called this evening. He and Howard have gone down on the flat. I don't know but it's just as well to commence this diary today as it would have been January 1st for I've done nothing but grunt and groan since then." "February 7th Howard has some new thing in his head and has bone over to Ranlett's. Mr. Case that horrible man who is in favor of bloomers strong minded women secret marriage &c. has been here this evening. Staid more than an hour. I did my best to entertain him but he is so very candid that it is painful to be in the room with him. I'm glad he has gone." "February 16th Just arrived in Providence This is a beautiful morning. I rested nicely last night and think I feel as well if not better than I shall at home. Howard has gone to school with May this morning. I am here for my comfort however I think I shall get through it all right. This afternoon we had a Hack and drove all over the city. Visited the Old Ladies Home and the Reform School. I think P is a very pretty city. I think I should like living here." "February 27th Well! One night is over. I didn't freeze for I had two soap stones and wool blankets but I didn't have Howard. I think the Piles are coming on again. Oh dear I am about discouraged. I have been in dreadful pain all this afternoon. I couldn't get easy anyway. The folks are real kind to me but they don't know how to care for these disagreeable things. I received a dear good letter from Howard this afternoon. I was very thankful for it. I wish I was home with him…." "March 16th Oh dear. How my bile does ache. I wish I could buy a cheap man to tell my petty troubles to for Howard is sick of my grunting and I make such a fuss over every little thing. I'm no sort of a woman. I'm just sick of myself." "April 25th This day would have been our dear little baby's birthday if he had lived. It has been a long year and a hard one for me but I know everything is for the good. I am thankful for a dear kind husband and ought never to complain. I went to Springfield with Howard today called on Emma and spent the rest of the day with Mrs. Salisbury. Came home on the last train. Howard bought me a beautiful silk dress and I'm afraid I ought not to have it…." "June 5th It is rainy and cold this morning. Our bedstead came over this morning so we should not be obliged to sleep on the floor. I think Howard's smoking chair is a beauty and I am very much pleased with my little rocking chair it's just what I've wanted for sometime "To rock my baby in." "July 23rd At home as usual. Sewed some. Had quite an entertainment this forenoon for a trained monkey and trainer of birds this afternoon which was wonderful. Mr. Amsden of Providence came this noon. Heard H. had gone to the boat races. There was no race after all the water is rough. Howard came home on the last train…." "August 15th We arrived in Portland off the boat Montreal about six this morning. After a fearful nights ride we were unable to obtain a stateroom. So I shared one with a Miss Lucas of Springfield a young lady who is in _______. We had a terrific shower in the night. I never heard it rain so. Howard slept on a sofa and I laid awake in my little sky high bed. I was glad to land this morning. We have taken a room at the St. Julius. Had just had breakfast and now Howard is going out to look up Mr. Porter a rebel clerk of his in the army. I have enjoyed my time so far ever so much. Glad we didn't go to Quebec." "September 14th Mr. and Mrs. Barker have gone to Lawrence to spend the night. I feel some better then I did yesterday. I was sick and had the doctor. We had quite a Demon-stration this afternoon. The Republicans got together and raised two Grant and Wilson flags one on the hill when Mr. Ewing delivered an address and one in front of the Holyoke House while S. Hopkins and W. B. C. Pearson's spoke. The best part of it was the music furnished by the Springfield Armory Band." 1911 "January 24th This morning Times has a full account of the shooting of Graham Phillips the author yesterday noon by a museum violinist named Goldsborough. As Mr. Phillips was on his way to the Princeton Club he overtook him and fired five or six shots into his body and put the last shot though his own head dying instantly. He was rooming at the Rand School on 19th St. No reason is found. He belonged to a good family in Washington. Was a Harvard student of music also had studied this year in Berlin. It seems there is still hope of Mr. Phillips recovery. One bullet pierced a lung which may cause pneumonia. I have had quite a busy day. I intended lining my furs but the afternoon was gone…." "February 15th Cold day and the light snow frozen to the sidewalks. I went out this afternoon on some errands. I gave papa a meal of corn beef and hash and poached eggs for supper tonight which he appeared to relish. Nothing is yet heard of Miss Arnold. It is such a mysterious case. The mother is quite prostrated over it all. I fear the girl has taken her own life. Peter is sleeping now in my lap while I am writing…." "March 25th ….We have just heard of the terrible fire at Washington and Green St. Shirt Waist Factory. Suits Furs &c. Over one hundred and sixty lives lost. So many jumped from the windows from the 10th story. Oh it is horrible." "March 27th At home all day. Quite busy cleaning up the rooms. Lizzie Flint is over in Brooklyn. Bert called this noon to tell me she was coming. He has bought some land between Fort Lee and Englewood and in time hopes to build a Bungalow….It is just dreadful to read about Saturday's fire at the Triangle Shirt Factory. So many girls jumped out of the windows and others were burned beyond recognition. The city is responding to the call for money to keep the poor broken hearted families. The Mayor headed the list with one hundred Carnegie $5000 &c." "April 5th Rainy gloomy day. The various women workers Waist and Makers all associating joined in one great mourning procession this afternoon. There were thousands all wearing mourning badges and carrying banners of mourning. It was a sad sight. All in memory of the 143 who lest there lives a week ago in the fire of the Asch Building. I was surprised by a call from Elsie. I did not know that she had arrived from Nassau. So glad to see her this gloomy day. They are at the King Hotel. Will sail next week Wednesday on the Majestic. They will be glad to see Albert……" "May 11th Letter from Shelia this morning. I went to Staten Island with Mr. and Mrs. Bailey this forenoon. To the Bronx this afternoon. After H. had given us a good dinner at Union Square Hotel this evening. We took surface cars so Mr. B. could see something of the country. We all enjoyed the zoo. We saw one of the keepers pose with six of the larger monkeys or chimpanzees for photos. It was interesting to see them out of doors never before have I seen them out of the cages…." "May 23rd Howard received a Worcester Gazette today with the Buffalo Bill advertisement and his poem to Mr. Cody. Mr. Strong sent it. We enjoyed looking over the old Gazette…." "May 30th Decoration Day Beautiful day but quite hot. GH. Decided not to attend the exercises for the soldiers but insisted we put some luncheon into my bag and started thinking to go to the Bronx but it was so hot we decided a sail to Staten Island and it was fine upon the water. Then the pleasant trolley ride to South Beach. When we were there enjoyed ourselves. Our luncheon went well and we found a good place in which to eat it. We calculated about and took in about everything. We had fun seeing others enjoy themselves especially the children on the Merry-go-Round. We invested in a snap shot of ourselves as a souvenir. H. thinks they are at least worth ten cents…." "June 21st Fine day for Howard's Reunion. Ed called with his auto and took us down to meet Shelia and Hattie and then to Hotel Kimball. When we watched the veterans from the balcony and listened to the speaking music and Howard's poem we had such a happy time looking down upon them all. Mr. Maxam read the poem quite well although not as much of a voice as I experienced. Howard's remarks were brief and natural. After the show we went back to the Bailey's and had a pleasant evening…." "July 16th Pleasant bright day for our visit with the Atwood's. We got an early start this morning and arrived there by ten. After awhile Mr. A came with his auto and the lunch baskets were all packed and we soon loaded into the machine and off to call on some friends of the Atwood's who were going along in their machine in company with us. It was one long ride with pretty villages. Everything fresh and lovely. Some of the roads were poor and gave us some jolting. At last the Momek Road was reached which was fine all the way to Long Beach. We found an interesting place quite nice and defined by New York's Atlantic City. We had our nice luncheon and all enjoyed it very much. We found many auto arties ahead of us so the place was lined with machines. The Nassau is a fine new Hotel and seemed to be thronged with stylish people. We sat off the balcony until we were rested and then another long ride back taking in Prospect Park which is beautiful." "July 29th Busy this morning. Went out as usual Saturday. Think we have food enough for over Sunday. Howard seemed tired and rotten this afternoon. Thought he would go out somewhere! I thought I would stay home and rest my leg but back he came after awhile and I decided to go with him. Somewhere anywhere. I knew he would not go alone. Well we found ourselves on a Street car and some hobbling upon a Coney Island Steamer. The sail was perfectly delightful and I was glad I had made the effort. We landed at "Steeple Chase Pier" where I had never been as we always were to "Dreamland" now burned down. Still we had our money's worth of fun just watching the crowd. We had our frankfurters and lager. Then sailed home in the moonlight……" "August 9th Very hot day. H. came home for a short rest and light luncheon. We are both feeling the heat. No letter from our girlie today. Mayor Gaynor was presented with a large Loving Cup today. It being a year to day the he was shot by a discharged deck hand. It was a mark of appreciation for what the Mayor had done since he has been in office and congratulating over the fact that he has so fully recovered from the shooting. This evening H. and I sailed to Staten Island for a cooler. The moon was full and beautiful and we enjoyed every minute. I shall be glad to get into my nightie and rest. See Newport Society is startled just now over the elopement of Miss French and young Geraghty a chauffeur and son of a Newport stable keeper." "September 9th I was out for supplies as usual. When H. came home this noon he brought a hat. Now I am sorry for him to go out hunting so but he has really found a sweet and stylish tailored hat of black velvet rum faced with white. A pretty shape which I think I can wear. Shall put the ostrich plums upon it. This P.M. he took me out the length of 14th St. and then to 6th Ave where he selected a black suit which I think we shall like but aren't civilized clothes a nuisance At last John Jacob Astor and Madeleine Force were married this morning at his villa in Newport R.I. then stared off upon his yacht the Norma for N.Y. City. His son Vincent twenty years old was his best man." "October 31st The last day of the month. Oh how the days do get away from us.….I am interested in the Rev. Richeson the Baptist minister of Cambridge who has been arrested for murdering Miss Avis Linnell a young lady of Hyannis. She died sadly for poison Cyanide of Potassium and it really looks as though he was the real villain. He was engaged to a Miss Edmond's of Brookline and to have been married today I believe." Her last entry in this diary as it is so profound: "Sorry to lay aside this diary it's one more record of my life. Just a small slice poorly kept form day to day. Sometimes I think I will never try to keep another but I think I might feel lost without as I have made just a little note of our lives from day to day and in a way depend upon it for reference. As I write this I am holding sleepy Peter Cat in my lap. Some how there seems to be more to him then any cat's we've ever had. He is real and clean also affectionate and is fond of Howard. The covers of this book are the worst ever and I am way more than ashamed." The first diary measures about 3" x 5" and although the cover's front flap is accounted for it has torn off of the binding. The rest of the cover is also very torn but the pages and binding look good. The 1911 diary measures about 3 ½" x 6" and as Sarah was saying the cover is very worn and falling away from the diary itself. In fact the cover has pulled away front and back boards of the diary. The pages and binding look good though. Overall G. BIO NOTES: Mr. Jewett had quite the distinguished career and these diaries have a wealth of historical and significant contents.
