Anglo-American Pottery: Old English China with American Views. A Manual for Collectors
Indianapolis IN: Press of the Clay-Worker 1899. 1st edition. Hardbound. Good Clean tight contents but with ex-lib. stamp on title page and bookplate of Robert Sage Griswold 1899 - of the Connecticut Griswolds - inside front cover; covers soiled but tight. Blue cloth with embossed lettering; blue/white illus. laid on. 161 xii pp. with 93 bw illustrations. At The Solicitation of numerous collectors of old English china bearing American views a series of illustrated papers was prepared by the writer and published in The Clay-Worker of Indianapolis Ind. In the introductory chapter nothing but a brief review of the earlier Liverpool designs was attempted because of the scarcity of such pieces at this late day. The main purpose of the compiler was to present as complete a list of the later Staffordshire designs in dark blue and other colors as possible so classified that the productions of each potter should be grouped together whereby the identification of unmarked pieces might be facilitated to some extent by means of common border devices. It was not deemed necessary to present detailed descriptions of views for the reason that they would not be required by collectors who possessed examples of china bearing the designs described nor carry definite meaning to those who did not. The need of a pocket manual of such china compact in arrangement and convenient for ready reference has long been felt. These lists have therefore been republished in a form suitable for collectors and others interested in the subject. The numbering of the American designs and border patterns will afford a convenient means of reference among correspondents and the index at the end will serve as a check list for collections. It was originally intended to indicate the shape of the piece or the size of the plate on which each design occurs but this classification was found to be well-nigh impossible on account of the apparent lack of any definite system followed by manufacturers in the decoration of pieces. - http://www.forgottenbooks.com.

Barber Samuel. 1910 1981 Copland Browning Elias Bernstein Graham Robbins Auden Coward Leinsdorf Dorati Kostelanetz R
Collection of Letters and Telegrams to Samuel Barber from the Premieres of "Vanessa" and "Antony & Cleopatra"
Used; Like New/Used; Like New. A fascinating and important collection of autograph letters and telegrams to the important American composer dating from the premieres of his two operas Vanessa 1958 and Antony and Cleopatra 1966. Included are autograph letters from Aaron Copland John Browning who premiered Barber's Piano Concerto Rosalind Elias the original Erika in Vanessa and Charmain in Antony and Cleopatra Ignace Strasvogel and other friends and admirers and telegrams from Leonard Bernstein Martha Graham Jerome Robbins W. H. Auden Noel Coward and many others.<br style="">While Vanessa with libretto by Menotti won Barber the 1958 Pulitzer Prize for music Antony and Cleopatra written for the opening of the new Metropolitan Opera at Lincoln Center was not well-received. Franco Zeffirelli chosen to write the libretto and stage the opera weighed down the production with over-the-top scenery animals and extras; technical difficulties marred the opening night. As Barber departed New York for Italy the very next morning his years of success had for the most part come to an end. The 1966 letters to Barber reflect his unhappy state with many of his friends consoling him over the bad reviews and assuring him that his music transcended the problems of staging.<br style="">Included are:<br style="">88 telegrams sending best wishes and congratulations on the première of Vanessa in 1958 sent by W. H. Auden Noel Coward Aaron Copland Leonard Bernstein Jerome Robbins John Browning Frank O'Hara Stephen Spender Martha Graham Erich Leinsdorf Antal Dorati Andre Kostelanetz Regina Reznik "Your old Baroness" Roberta Peters G.
