PETULA CLARK, (British singer, actress and composer), (1932-).
Original postcard signed and inscribed 'Petula'.
Very Good French Original postcard shows Clark's color portrait photo signed and inscribed by Petula Clark as 'Tres amicalement'. 15x11 cm. In French. The most commercially successful female singer in British chart history, Petula Clark was born November 15, 1932, in Epsom, England. Trained to sing by her soprano mother, Clark embarked on a stage career at the age of seven; soon she was a fixture on British radio programs and began hosting her own regular show, Pet's Parlour -- a series spotlighting patriotic songs designed to boost the morale of wartime audiences -- at the tender age of 11. After entertaining British troops alongside fellow child stars Julie Andrews and Anthony Newley, Clark made her film debut with A Medal for the General in 1944. By the dawn of the '50s she was a superstar throughout the U.K., with a résumé of close to two-dozen films; 1954's "The Little Shoemaker" was her first Top 20 single, while 1960's "Sailor" was her first chart-topper. Still, Clark struggled with her inability to shed her adolescent image. After selling over a million copies of 1961's "Romeo," she married and relocated to France, establishing a strong fan base there on the strength of hits including "Ya-Ya Twist," "Chariot," and "Monsieur," which spotlighted a new, more sophisticated pop sound anchored by her crystalline vocals. Riding the wave of the British Invasion, Clark was finally able to penetrate the U.S. market in 1964 with the Grammy-winning "Downtown," the first single by a British woman ever to reach number one on the American pop charts. It was also the first in a series of American Top Ten hits (most written and arranged by Tony Hatch) that also included 1965's "I Know a Place" and 1966's "I Couldn't Live Without Your Love," and the number one smash "My Love." At the same time, she remained a huge star throughout Europe, topping the British charts in 1967 with "This Is My Song," taken from the film A Countess from Hong Kong. In addition to hosting her own BBC series, she also starred in the 1968 NBC television special Petula, which triggered controversy when sponsors requested that a segment with guest Harry Belafonte be cut in deference to Southern affiliates; ultimately, the show aired in its intended form. As the '60s drew to a close, Clark's commercial stature slipped, although singles like "Don't Sleep on the Subway," "The Other Man's Grass Is Always Greener," and "Kiss Me Goodbye" still charted on both sides of the Atlantic. In 1968, she revived her film career by starring in Finian's Rainbow, followed a year later by Goodbye, Mr. Chips. In later years, Clark focused primarily on international touring, headlining the 1981 London revival of Rodgers & Hammerstein's The Sound of Music; after starring in the 1990 musical Someone Like You, which she also co-wrote, she made her Broadway debut in Blood Brothers in 1993. Additionally, in 1988, an acid house remix of "Downtown" reached the U.K. Top Ten, another honor for the female singer awarded the most gold records in British pop history. Throughout the 2000s, Clark toured fairly steadily across the globe. Her 2002 shows in France at the Olympia were recorded and released on CD and DVD, but no new studio recordings were forthcoming until she teamed with Irish band the Saw Doctors for a new version of "Downtown" in 2011. Soon after, she began working with producer John Williams on an album. Made up of newly written songs and covers, as well as a new take on "Downtown," Lost in You was issued in early 2013. Just three years later, Clark returned with another studio album, From Now On, which featured several newly penned compositions as well as covers of classic numbers by the Beatles, Steve Winwood, and Peggy Lee. In October 2016, Clark set out on a U.K. tour in support of the album. That same year also saw the release of Natural Love: The Scotti Brothers Recordings, a collection of the country- and pop-oriented material Clark cut in the '80s. A French-language album, Vu D'ici, arrived in

PFORZHEIMER LIBRARY.
The Carl H. Pforzheimer Library. English Literature 1475-1700. [Complied by E. Unger and W.A. Jackson].
3 Vols., large 4to, limited to 750 copies, with a new addendum of books found in the library but omitted from the original edition, frontispieces, 104 plates, orig. cloth, gilt. A long-awaited and much-needed reprint of one of the twentieth century's greatest, and scarcest, bibliographies, which was originally issued in an edition of only 150 copies. "The descriptions of the 1,105 printed books and 169 autographs and manuscripts are the chef d'oeuvre of William A. Jackson and the non plus ultra of 'critical' bibliography as postulated by Sir Walter Greg. Miss Unger had been the librarian of the Pforzheimer Library since 1920. The catalogue is a model of its kind." - Breslauer & Folter.

Philip Bourke Marston (1850-1887), blind English poet, protege of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and friend of James Thomson ('B V') [J
Manuscript Letter written by an amanuensis for the blind poet 'P. B. Marston' Philip Bourke Marston to John T. Baron of Blackburn referring to two of his books and to a photograph taken six years before which 'does not please' his friends.
191 Euston Road London. 11 October 1882. 3pp. 12mo. Bifolium. In stamped and postmarked envelope addressed in the same hand to 'J. Y. sic Baron Esq. 48 Griffin Street Tritton Blackburn'. In good condition on lightly-aged paper in slightly discoloured envelope. It is not known who acted as Marston's amanuensis after the death of his sister Cicely in 1878: the present letter is written in a neat and somewhat childish hand. It dates from what had been an extremely trying year for Marston with Rossetti dying the previous April and the dying James Thomson being carried from Marston's rooms two months later. Baron was a shameless autograph hunter and in response to one of his stock requests Marston begins: 'Dear Sir I am sorry to have misunderstood your inquiry as I see I have done. My two books are published by Chatto & Windus of Piccadilly where I have no doubt they can be procured'. He would be glad to send Baron a photograph but he has none. 'I was last taken six years ago & had only a few copies made' an engraving from one of them appearing in 'Harper's Magazine' in May of the same year in an article entitled 'some London Poets' 'but in case you should come across it I may say that it does not please my friends'. He concludes with thanks for Baron's 'warm wishes'. 191 Euston Road, London. 11 October 1882. unknown

Philip Hermogenes Calderon (1833-1898), English painter born in France of Spanish extractino, member of St John's Wood Clique, K
Autograph Letter Signed 'Philip H Calderon.' from Philip Hermogenes Calderon member of the St John's Wood Clique to fellow-artist John Callcott Horsley describing a trip to the 'dissolute city' of Paris.
On letterhead of 9 Marlborough Place St John's Wood NW. 'Sunday Evening' no date. 3pp. 12mo. Bifolium with mourning border. Good on lightly-aged paper with thin neat strip of paper mount at head of third page. The sense of humour for which the St John's Wood Clique was known is reflected in the letter which begins: 'Marks Storey and I have just returned from Paris to which dissolute city we went to see the "Salon" and after a hard course of study of pictures frescoes elaborate "menus" at Champeaux and female costume reduced to its simplest form at Offenbach's Theatre - where it chiefly consists of a belt with a few small coins hanging about here we are home again - to Virtue Simplicity and Work!' He is sorry to be late replying: Horsley's friend's drawing is a good one and he has 'many friends better able than myself to advise him'. 'The sending in is to-morrow and so good luck to him - I am sure he thoroughly deserves it.' Calderon writes that he and his colleagues were all very sorry to learn the cause of Horsley's absence from the last meeting: 'it was badly attended - besides yourself - Ward and Leighton were absent - but very interesting as Cope brought forward his motion'. Calderon has 'seriously studied the "lighting" at the Salon' and wants to 'try it in one room here'. He ends by asking: 'Will you back me up' On letterhead of 9 Marlborough Place, St John's Wood, NW. 'Sunday Evening' [no date]. unknown
