Non posso a meno di ripetere / questo pensiero; ma più in là non vedo. L'amico vi dirà dell'Ufficiale che lo / veduto questa mattina. Appena io abbia notizie, le avviso. Se per / caso credete di determinarvi a fare, avvertite-/mi senza indugio. Darò allora i proclami e vi / vedrò subito. Il Governo ha evidentemente paura. E non / osa appigliarsi a misure anteriormente repres-/sive. V' è agitazione, come sapete, anche nel / macinato. Il Governo nondimeno presente il moto da / parte nostra. E questo potrebbe forse modificare / il disegno e dare più importanza alla mia / idea d'assalire le ali, procacciare armi e / portar poi le forze concentrate ed eccitate da / una vittoria sul centro. Ma di questo si / parlerebbe. Vostro tutto Gius M". - "As I have said since we have met for / the first time, I cannot deny that the thought / occurs to me often: ' If we see that / the rising of Piac. shows the opportunity for / the cities of Italy, why could the rising of / Genova not do the same thing?' I cannot stop to repeat / this thought; but I do not see any more in it. The friend will let you know from the Officer that I saw him / this morning. As soon as I have news, I will let you know. In / case you believe you will make up your mind to act, let me know / without delay. I will then give a proclamation and I will / see you immediately. Obviously, the Government is afraid. And it does not / dare to cling to measures which were repres-/sive before. There is agitation, as you know, even in / the crushed. Still, the Government presents the stimulus for / us. And this could maybe change / the plan and give more importance to my / idea of attacking the wings, procuring weapons and / then leading the concentrated and excited forces to / a victory over the centre. But we will talk / about this. Yours entirely Gius M".

Maël Pierre, pseudonyme de Charles Causse (1862-1904) et Charles Vincent (1851-1920) [différent de Charles Vincens], écrivain.
Lettre autographe signée de la main de Charles Causse (Charles Vincent restait dans l'ombre). Paris, 25. VI. 1904.
1 p., in-8. Belle lettre de 16 lignes à Charles Vincens de la belle écriture violette de Pierre Maël, peu de temps avant sa mort. "Bien que souffrant", Maël tient à remercier son correspondant pour ce qu'il a "fait en faveur de Rose Héré". En effet, Rose Héré a sauvé du naufrage 14 marins marseillais du navire Le Vesper le 1er novembre 1903, après être tombée à l'eau en voulant les diriger, tout cela au large d'Ouessant. L'académie de Marseille, en raison de l'origine des marins, lui donnera un prix qui mettra "cette pauvre fille […] jusqu'à la fin de ses jours à l'abri du besoin". Pierre Maël remercie aussi Charles Vincens pour l'article sur son roman Fleur des roses.

McCORMICK, Robert S (1849-1919)
Autograph Fragment unsigned
Grandson of inventor Robert McCormick nephew of reaper inventor Cyrus Hall McCormick father of editors Joseph Medill McCormick and "Colonel" Robert R. McCormick -- this career diplomat joined the State Department in 1887 serving as U.S. ambassador to Austria-Hungary 1902 Russia 1902-05 and France 1905-07 although according to one journalist McCormick's "career as a dilettante diplomat took a backseat to his more serious pursuit of alcohol." Autograph Fragment unsigned on printed calling card heavy stock 3" X 1½" London England n.y. Near fine. Handsome italic "Mr. Robert McCormick" printed at center and beneath this McCormick has penned in brown ink in his small neat hand "Hotel Belgravia / Victoria Street S.W." Likely dates from early in his State Department career else a title such as "Ambassador" would have preceded his name. The card bears a heavy printed black border or "mourning rule" but since it's difficult to assign a date to this it's also difficult to determine what death in his family would have occasioned the mourning border. The Victoria Street area of southwest London is appropriate as it was chock full of foreign embassies and McCormick must have been on some State Department assignment there. Not signed alas but a most unusual item nevertheless. unknown

McCUTCHEON, John T (1870-1949)
Signed Ink Drawing
Pulitzer prize-winning editorial cartoonist with the "Chicago Tribune" 1903-45. Signed ink drawing 14¼" X 18" n.p. 1929. Very good. Slightest bit of edgewear and mild soiling. Labeled "Putting their Sincerity to the Test" by McCutcheon along the lower margin this single-panel cartoon depicts President Herbert Hoover full length front and center and facing right wonderfully executed as he stands in front of a circular table. With his arms he presents a large scroll laid out on this table which reads in full: "Proper defense requires military strength relative to that of other nations. We will reduce our strength in proportion to any other. It remains for the others to say how low they will go. It cannot be too low for us. Hoover's Armistic Day address." Hoover is saying "There! Now let's see if you're really sincere in wanting to give your tax payers some relief from their armament burdens." Behind Hoover at the left of the drawing a sketchy figure of a worried-looking Uncle Sam sits astride huge sacks of money labeled "U.S. Resources." In front of Hoover at the right of the drawing stand six attentive listeners: A portly "Britain" in Edwardian getup sports a Union Jack vest while alongside him a shadowy figure is hunched by the huge sack he hoists labeled "British Armament Burden on the Tax Payer"; "France" in military uniform scratches his bewhiskered chin while a similar hunched figure strains under a sack labeled "French Naval Burden on the Tax Payers"; behind these figures stand "Japan" in military uniform a "Japanese Burden" sack just visible at his side and "Italy" in military uniform sack at his side. On November 11 1929 Hoover had expressed these Armistice Day sentiments in a speech given before the Annual Convention of the Mississippi Valley Association. This drawing which McCutcheon dates "Nov. 13" at lower left is a superb and provocative example of McCutcheon's ability to humanize political concepts to make abstract notions concrete. And artistically this rendering of Hoover is among his very best. Signed simply "McCutcheon" at lower right as usual. unknown

Signed Ink Drawing
Pulitzer prize-winning editorial cartoonist with the "Chicago Tribune" 1903-45. Signed ink drawing 14¼" X 16" n.p. n.y. probably 1918. Very good. Slightest bit of edgewear. Fun and handsome two-panel cartoon titled "Reciprocity" along the bottom in McCutcheon's hand with two subtitles. The top panel is titled "They've been giving you a lot to cheer about." It was first titled "They are giving you something to cheer about now" but McCutcheon altered some of the language in pencil. This depicts a group of prancing cheering men hats flung up in the air and behind them a bulletin board with the announcement "War Bulletin / Allies / Investing / St. Quentin." The Germans had attacked this French city in March 1918 just before large numbers of American troops reached the front. The lower panel is titled "Next week it will be your turn to give them something to cheer about." As wi the previous caption McCutcheon altered the original -- which read "You must give them something to cheer about next week" -- in pencil. Here another group of men -- this time all soldiers -- prace and cheer with various helmets tossed up in the air. Behind them to the left a bulletin board reads "Important! / Americans / Investing in / Liberty Bonds" while to the right appear blackened ruins. Signed simply "McCutcheon" as usual. unknown

McCUTCHEON, John T (1870-1949)
Signed Ink Drawing
Pulitzer prize-winning editorial cartoonist with the "Chicago Tribune" 1903-45. Signed ink drawing 14¼" X 18½" n.p. n.y. Very good. Slightest bit of edgewear. A cryptic untitled cartoon consisting of five panels: two across the top one across the middle and two across the bottom. The upper left of the top two panels shows traces of a title underneath pencilled in McCutcheon's hand but erased for some unknown reason that reads: "The Invention as applied to the Automobile." This drawing shows a crazy-looking automobile apparently coal-powered for it bears two large smokestacks bearing a fashionable couple zipping along one of them marveling "A marvelous invention! It cheers the heart sweetens the breath and prevents bagging at the knees." To the right of this the next panel depicts a biplane aloft also apparently coal-powered showing one large smokestack cruising above the earth a voice from within asking "Hey down there is this the right road to Singapore" From the earth far below appears a voice bubble containing Chinese characters. A pencilled caption in McCutcheon's hand below this has likewise been erased a couple words decipherable but not enough to make sense of it. The large wide middle panel shows a gargantuan metal ship -- a sailing ship and steamboat appear small as ants in the foreground -- chugging along also apparently coal-powered with several humongous smokestacks. The lower left panel depicts a strange propeller-driven rocket of some sort again apparently coal-powered showing a smokestack -- possibly a missile -- zipping from west to east far above the earth; a pair of tiny figures on North America seem to cheer it along and its destination in Europe is a tiny city outcropping labeled "Potsd--." Finally at lower right the last panel shows two tiny figures in what might be a junkyard. In the foreground is a pile labeled "Coal 5 Cents a Ton" but filling the background left to right are three massive oil storage containers marked "Standard Oil Co." with a sign poking out reading "For Sale Cheap to Right Party" next to this a building with smokestacks and a sign reading "Power Plant for Sale" next to this a huge structure and a sign reading "Gas Plant for Sale or Rent Will Subdivide to Suit Tenant" and lastly several enormous metal tubes and a sign reading "Bargains in Old Boilers." Signed simply "McCutcheon" at lower right as usual. Presumably McCutcheon is commenting on depressed prices of various fuel sources at this time and the continued availability of coal unknown

McCUTCHEON, John T (1870-1949)
Signed Ink Drawing
Pulitzer prize-winning editorial cartoonist with the "Chicago Tribune" 1903-45. Original signed ink drawing 14½" X 18½" n.p. 1930. Very good. Slight edgewear and minor soiling. Labeled "The Inquiring Reporter. He asks the question 'Do you think the London Naval Treaty insures parity in American and British naval strength'" in cursive by McCutcheon on the lower margin. This text-heavy six-panel piece depicts the inquiring reporter notepad in hand listening to six persons all male of course some of them obviously in Chicago surroundings respond to this question. Upper left panel: dapper gent in old-time golf duds gold buddies behind him replies "No not so long as the British fleet has the Rodney and the Nelson." Upper right panel: Fellow in small boat on the Chicago River answers "Not so long as Britain has a great preponderance of fast merchant ships capable of being quickly converted into 6 inch auxiliary cruisers and commerce destroyers." Middle left panel: Stodgy executive-type seated behind impressive desk and bookcases offers: "No but we may in 1938 -- if the U.S. builds up to the limit allowed by the treaty -- and if Britain waits till we catch up." Middle right panel: Pudgy wader in old-time swimsuit on crowded Chicago beach front observes "We get parity in submarines destroyers and aircraft carriers -- and possibly in 8 inch cruisers six years from now -- inferiority in capital ships and 6 inch cruisers." Lower left panel: Driver stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic some things in Chicago never change opines "Possibly in American waters eventually but not on our distant trade routes." Lower right panel: Pedestrian clinging to Chicago River street bridge as it rises up shouts to reporter clinging to other side "Not so long as we are hopelessly inferior in naval bases." Unlike contemporary editorial cartoons which would never get away with so much text earlier editorial cartoons such as this prime example often took more than a few seconds to grasp and assumed a firm understanding of detailed political topics of the day. Signed simply "McCutcheon" at lower right as usual. unknown

McCUTCHEON, John T (1870-1949)
Signed Ink Drawing
Pulitzer prize-winning editorial cartoonist with the "Chicago Tribune" 1903-45. Original signed ink drawing 14½" X 17½" n.p. n.d. ca. 1919. Very good. Slight edgewear and minor soiling. Labeled "He would Rather Explain than answer" in cursive by McCutcheon on the lower margin this handsome single panel piece depicts an angry-looking Uncle Sam in profile in the foreground poking the shorter man in front of him identified as "Cox" and demanding "Are you for Article X -- answer me Yes or No" The shorter fellow sweating responds "Let me explain." Uncle Sam points with his other hand at two large placards posted on a wall. The placard at left reads: "Elihu Root on Article X. Article X is an alliance to enforce perpetually through the operations of the League the decisions of Mr. Wilson and his associates in the year 1919. Article X is a throwback to the old discredited alliances of the past. Article X speaks a language of power and not the spirit of progress. Article X is an attempt to do what the Holy Alliance sought 100 years ago with just as noble expressions of purpose to impose by force the judgment of the rulers of the present generation upon all future generations." The placard at right reads: "Pres. Wilson on Article X. Article X is the heart of the covenant." Former senator and secretary of state Root at this time president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace was well known as a strong supporter of the League of Nations -- BUT with strong reservations mainly about Article X which he thought highly impractical. Signed simply "McCutcheon" at lower right as usual. unknown
