[ Garry Davis [Sol Gareth Davis] (1921-2013), international peace activist and creator of the World Passport; Eric Korn [ Michae
The World Passport. Two Typed Letters Signed from Garry Davis to Michael Korn the bookseller Eric Korn regarding 'World Government and World Citizenship' together with Korn's 'World Citizen' 'Identity Card'.
One letter dated 5 March 1949 no place; the other undated from 17 rue Notre-Dame des Champs Paris. The identity card without place or date. IDENTITY CARD: Bifolium. 12 x 8 cm. Printed in black and grey on outer covers and in black over green inside. In fair condition lightly aged and worn. Cover headed 'IDENTITY CARD' with 'WORLD CITIZEN' in a variety of scripts around a circular logo of human figure. Internal statement: 'This card certifies that the holder is registered as a world-citizen. He will try to recognise his responsibilities as a member of the World Community.' Korn is 'No 12030'. Filled-in in ink for Michael Korn of 62 Aberdare Gardens Hampstead London. With oval stamp of the International Registry of World Citizens '09/3'. Signed in pencil 'Erik sic Korn'. LETTER ONE: No place. 5 March 1949. 1p. 12mo. Heavily aged and worn. Thanking him for his interest 'in the work we are doing'. There has been an encouraging 'flood of letters' and as he cannot deal with all the correspondence personally he has 'turned your letter over to Mr. Cameron of the British Section of the Registry who will give you an indication of our plans for the future'. LETTER TWO: From Paris. No date. 1p. 4to. Heavily aged and worn. 'There are many of us standing together in this world crisis so many that I can't keep up with my mail right now as I would like to.' He has received 'thousands of letters from people all over the world who feel as you and I do about the vital importance of working for World Government and World Citizenship no to-day. Our voices separate are no match for the "national interests" leading to World War III but if there are enough of us it will be possible to join the ranks of fighters for freedom and security for the whole world.' The final paragraph encourages Korn to agitate on behalf of the movement. Davis's International Registry of World Citizens was founded in Paris in January 1949 and registered over 750000 individuals Davis managing to gain the endorsement of Albert Einstein Albert Camus and Andre Gide. Four and a half years later on 4 September 1953 he declared the World Government of World Citizens. The second of the two letters at least has the feel of a circular but they both appear to have been typed out rather than reproduced. One letter dated 5 March 1949 (no place); the other undated, from 17 rue Notre-Dame des Champs, Paris. The identity card without unknown

[BLACK SUN PRESS - Harry CROSBY] BROWN, Bob
1450 - 1950
Paris: Black Sun Press 1929. First edition. One of 150 copies printed. Minkoff A25. Presentation copy inscribed by the publisher Harry Crosby to his father: "SVRC Stephen Van Rensselaer Crosby from Harry" with an accompanying sketch of his personalized sun symbol and the Black Sun Press's emblem. "In August Harry Crosby delivered one hundred and fifty copies of 1450-1950 to Brown who quickly sent most of them on to publishers and friends sixty of whom he listed opposite the title page under the heading "Free Copies." In return Brown hoped for a few kind words that might be useful in reviving a writing career that had been quiescent for close to fifteen years. 1450-1950 is an amusing mixture of ideography and calligraphy examples of which Brown had been amassing - with obvious pleasure - for many years. "I like looking back / at the / Illuminated manuscripts of / 1450 / And forward / to the / more Illuminations / Movie Scripts of / 1950 I like to see / Fly Specks / on yellowed pages / I like too / Leaving my own on / New ones / My Fly Speck." In his dedication to "all monks all early oriental artists . . . " Brown playfully attempted to locate his work in the history of innovative printing and himself among those authors celebrated as much for their matter as for their manner of expression. By early fall he had gathered a garland of testimonials from among others Gertrude Stein H. L. Mencken and William Carlos Williams." Harry Crosby was found dead in his New York studio on December 10th 1929 evidently a casualty of a suicide pact: in one hand he held a pistol and in his other arm his twenty year old lover Josephine Noyes Rotch Bigelow also dead of a bullet to the temple. - Hugh Ford Published In Paris N. Y.: Macmillan 1975 p. 200- 210. On the same day Crosby had made his last entry in his diary: "One is not in love unless one desires to die with one's beloved. There is only one happiness it is to love and to be loved." When Jonathan Williams reissued 1450-1950 as Jargon 29 in 1959 the publisher observed: "That it should take him JW thirty years to locate a copy of Bob Brown's utterly charming and singular book is a measure of the almost cultish regard 1450-1950 has commanded from its contemporaries. If you didn't own a copy you were automatically cast into either of the modern outer darknesses then beginning to pullulate: Squaresville or Beat City. The virtues of 1450-1950 are publicly attested by many luminaries on the back cover blurb - among them Geltte Burgess who invented the word blurb." Among those quoted on the back cover are Gertrude Stein Marcel Duchamp Carl Van Vechten William Carlos Williams Carl Sandburg Walter Lowenfels James Johnson Sweeney Gelett Burgess Stuart Davis and Caresse Crosby who wrote to Brown: "We show your book to everyone who comes to the house and they always find some page that so especially delights them that soon we will have to chain it down like an ancient missal.

[BLACK SUN PRESS]. Lymington, Lord [Gerard Wallop]
Git le Coeur
Paris: Editions Narcisse 1928. First edition. 96 pp. Printed wrappers with French flaps. Some toning to extremities spine a little browned.<br /> <br /> One of 200 numbered copies printed by Roger Lescaret for Harry and Caresse Crosby. Raised in Wyoming Gerard Vernon Wallop 9th Earl of Portsmouth Viscount Lymington fell in with the Crosbys in Paris; they "bowled him right over" and he enjoyed various decadences with them taking a flat nearby at 1 Rue Gît-le-Coeur. This copy is inscribed "for Constance with Gerard's love January 4th 1929" with an Autograph Letter Signed laid in from Gerard to Constance. Constance was Constance Crowninshield Coolidge the Comtesse de Jumilhac Harry Crosby's "Lady of the Golden Horse" and the closest of his mistresses Caresse noted years later "All through the Paris years she was my most formidable antagonist but I could not help immensely admiring her." The letter a single sheet folded is undated but written from 1 Rue Git le Coeur. A breezy and charming note Lymington presents his book "which has perhaps one merit- sincerity" along with compliments about their recent luncheon and an offer for her to visit the English countryside. Minkoff A-8. Editions Narcisse unknown
