Profusely illustrated with detailed scholarly analysis this selective catalog of the 1400 object collection will bring this outstanding collection to prominence. Not limited to some of the earliest items made on this continent or 19th century Tiffany masterpieces the collection includes pieces with documented New York histories -- from 17th century Dutch silver to outstanding examples by Gorham and other makers. This exciting new reference includes photographs of all unusual marks - the first time early New York marks have been studied and reproduced in over 35 years. Many new unpublished and and previously misattributed marks are included. Also there is significant new information about makers and retailers in New York City from the early to mid 19th century. From the Publisher: Although precious metals have been part of the lives of New Yorkers since the city"s founding until now comparatively little has been written about them. These two volumes examine the precious metals trades and usage of precious metals artifacts since the third quarter of the 17th century through the excellent collection at the Museum of the City of New York that contains more than 1400 objects of silver and other precious metals including hollowware flatware and jewelry made sold or owned in New York.

‎Photograph signed "Ethel Waters" and inscribed from the Broadway production of Mamba's Daughters‎

‎1939. 8 x 10 inches. Small blemish at upper right colored-in two old mounts on verso otherwise fine. 8 x 10 inches. Inscribed photograph of African-American television theater and film pioneer Ethel Waters 1896-1977 depicting her in one of her most famous roles and inscribed: "To Alice with the same devotion Hagar has for Lissa and you have for Natalie I have for you Ethel Waters." The photograph shows Waters as Hagar in the Broadway production of Mamba's Daughters 1939 a role which was adapted specifically for her by Dorothy and Dubose Hayward from their novel of the same name; it has been cited as the first dramatic starring role for an African-American actress ANB. On June 14 1939 Waters became the first African-American to host a television program when NBC broadcast "The Ethel Waters Show" a one-hour variety program which included a scene from Mamba's Daughters. <br/>The Alice of the inscription is Alice D. Laughlin 1895-1952 muralist engraver and designer who co-founded with designer Natalie Hays Hammond 1904-1985 the Stage Alliance which produced "Six Miracle Plays" directed by and starring Martha Graham at the Guild Theater in 1933. Hammond and Laughlin together with Phyillis Connard constituted a small colony of women artists in Gloucester Massachusetts at the Hammond compound designed by architect Eleanor Raymond. <br/>Ethel Waters first made a name for herself as a blues singer on the club circuit; her stage career began when Irving Berlin cast her in As Thousands Cheer 1933 after hearing her perform "Stormy Weather" at the Cotton Club. In 1949 she became the second African-American to be nominated for an Academy Award Best Supporting Actress for her role in Pinky.

‎Literary Correspondence‎

‎1986-1987. A collection of letters from Waters mostly to his literary agent Joan Daves as well as related ancillary materials showing Waters at work in the after-market for his writing with opportunities for later editions and film versions. Waters wrote primarily about the American Southwest in particular the Native American experience. His father was part Cheyenne. The first typed letter signed is from Waters to his agent Joan Daves dated August 24 1986 and concerns Lesley Ann Warren's interest in optioning the film rights to The Woman at Otowi Crossing and the contract for publication of a hardcover illustrated edition of The Man Who Killed the Deer. It is stapled to a copy of the contract with numerous marginal corrections and a retained copy of Daves' reply agreeing with Waters that the intended publisher Gibbs Smith had overreached in the contract. An included exchange between Daves and Gibbs Smith posits a simpler agreement while a retained carbon shows Daves reaching out to Ohio University Press to confirm they had no claim to hardcover rights. The second typed letter signed is from Waters to Keith Sabin in Daves' absence and is dated September 29 1986 and describes the purchasing history of Flight from Fiesta and the current unwelcome "blitz" he Waters is undergoing from Ritz Productions regarding theatrical rights. Waters encloses an initialed copy of the letter he wrote to Ritz Productions redirecting their overtures to Daves upon her return from Europe. Both of these letters are stapled together with retained copies of both Sabin's and Daves' replies as well as a retained copy of an earlier letter from Sabin to Waters saying they had been approached by Ritz and the initial contact letter from Ritz with an unsigned agreement for Right of First Refusal. Also included is a letter from Fiesta publisher Clark Kimball to Daves recommending the production company. The fourth typed letter signed from Waters to Daves dated April 29 1987 again describes the publishing history of Flight from Fiesta and informs Daves that the publisher Clark Kimball has been approached by CBS-Columbia regarding film rights and he includes Kimball's letter. Attached are the retained copies of letters from Daves to both Waters and Kimball admonishing all that Kimball has no role in film rights for the title and a later letter from Kimball acquiesces. The fifth typed letter signed from Waters to Daves August 3 1987 delineates an additional inquiry regarding a film option for Flight from Fiesta and several leads on optioning The Woman at Otowi Crossing should Lesley Ann Warren's option expire. Waters takes Daves to task for not responding to offers already presented for not keeping him informed and for being about to depart for Europe leaving him without representation: "I don't like to end our agent-client relationship after so many years but if the overload of work at this crucial time is too much for you I don't see any alternative." A copy of a letter to Waters at about this point from Alton Walpole shows one of the interested parties facing obstacles bringing Otowi Crossing to the screen. Also a letter to Daves from The University of Nevada thanks Daves for sending financials on Ohio University Press's Frank Waters: A Retrospective Anthology included but bemoans how infrequent the agent's communiques have become. However the Daves-Waters agent-client relationship was ongoing in October: in the sixth typed letter signed in this archive Waters informs Daves of yet another inquiry for Flight from Fiesta and asks her advice about payment on an opportunity he has to write the text for a book of photographs to be published by Arizona Highways likely Eternal Desert published in 1990. As mentioned many of the letters are stapled; most are folded for mailing; in some instances they bear the agency's routing marks or highlighting. The lot as a whole is near fine. No Binding.

‎Masked Gods: Navaho and Pueblo Ceremonialism SIGNED‎

‎Albuquerque: The University of New Mexico Press. Very Good in Poor dj. c.1950. First Edition. Hardcover. externally nice-looking copy with no discernible wear but unfortunately with some occasional margin notes in red ink mostly confined to the first 50 pages or so thus the downgrading to VG; the jacket was is a disaster age-toned and somewhat brittle with both flaps the front panel and the rear panel/spine all separated from one another along the fold lines considerable but mostly shallow edge-chipping etc.; it's been pieced back together with the aid of a few small pieces of tape and is held together by a new mylar cover all of which makes it reasonably presentable and a decent protective cover for the book itself but none of which is meant to obscure or downplay its many depredations. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the half-title page: "For Bill / From Frank." "Here is the powerful story of the meaning of Navaho Navajo and Pueblo ceremonialism by a writer who is perhaps unsurpassed in his long and wide experience with the Indians of the Four Corners Country -- where Arizona New Mexico Utah and Colorado join to infold this last Red Island is America's White sea."
