'Eric Broad' (Frederic E. Wright), English poet [W. Kineton Parkes; John Ruskin; William Marwick; the Ruskin Reading Guild]:
'Eric Broad' Frederic E. Wright poet Three Autograph Letters Signed two 'Eric Broad/Frederic E Wright.' and one 'Frederic E Wright/Eric Broad.' to W. Kineton Parkes assistant editor of the journal of the Ruskin Reading Guild 'Igdrasil'
20 and 22 January and 3 March 1890; all from Scarsdale Great Malvern. All three items in very good condition. Interesting series of letters by an obscure 1890s poet. Letter One 12mo 7 pp: Although he realises that some are 'rather poor' he is sending through his brother possibly the artist Alan Wright 1864-1959 'all the lyrics I have by me': 'I have not had time to "weed" yet being veryy busily engaged writing lyrics for a Comedy-Opera 'Ethelinda or a Philanthropic Fad' 1890 on which he collaborated with Hamilton O. Wylde - & a libretto for Operetta; also been trying my hand at very sensational prose'. He has 'quite forgotten' the poem 'Yesterday': 'There is a lyric in the brown-paper-covered book "But Yesterday" - but I do not know if that is the one.' He will 'submit a Sonnet or something to "Igdrasil" shortly'. He misses 'Comus' a magazine edited by Parkes 1888-9: 'as there was always something to attract one in it - more than can be said for most mushroom-papers do forgive the epithet - it was not intended of this era'. He has been 'rather shakey' 'suffering with nicotine poisoning of the lower lip'. He is sending Parkes the 'last collection of my verses' entitled 'In Idle Hours' no copy on COPAC. 'It is coverless - Pardon that - I trust the inside will gain your favour. It is out of print - & only 12 copies were printed. Three on rough-edged paper - others as this one. It is I regret one of the follies of a year past. Cavil not therefore O Critic - but pity the poor deluded youth!' Letter Two 12mo 1 p: Parkes's 'friend may like to see the enclosed lyrics not present - which I have just written.' Letter Three 12mo 4 pp: Apologises for asking for the return of his lyrics 'safe to hand to night'. 'The Composer I sent to however was hard to please: in fact I was unable to do business with him'. He has a 'little collection of Sonnets . in the press' nothing on COPAC under either Broad or Wright. Wonders whether Parkes will 'put the Sonnet "Igdrasil" in the magazine of that name'. 'I suppose "Comus" will appear again "pro bono publico" - I have been writing short stories lately for which I seem to have a slight gift.' In fact my first was well received by a large firm & I am awaiting further hearing from them.' Hopes he may send 'anything in the poetry-line for insertion in "Igdrasil" as I shall submit nothing but what is worthy of my best attempts'. In a postscript reports that the libretto on which he has been collaborating see above is 'now musically complete' and 'on the eve of printing prior to copyrighting. It is of novel & original plot & action.' 20 and 22 January and 3 March 1890; all from Scarsdale, Great Malvern. unknown

( BIBLE in English ). [ Megilat Ester ]. SOLOMON, Bernard, Translator & Artist
THE BOOK OF ESTHER
Statesboro GA: The Boxwood Press 1992. First Limited edition. Hardcover. Fine. In a mahogany and copper scroll case with vertical slot and hidden crank handle; with a protective velvet cloth <br/><br/>Only 16cc.Remarkable bilingual presentation / re-interpretation of this Biblical work placing it in the the Reagan / Bush era. Illustrated with 16 color etchings by Bernard Solomon the translator and etcher. He realized there were remarkable parallels between the Biblical story of Esther and that of Anita Hill Clarence Thomas and the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee. This interpretation unfolds sequentially as each leaf is unrolled from the 33 in. high scroll holder. The body of the scroll holder is one of the original copper plates used for the etchings which is why it is limited to an edition of only 16. The top and bottom of the handcrafted minaret-style case is finely shaped and polished mahogany by Anthony V. Mann. Designed with a hidden crank to rewind the scroll into the case. Altogether remarkable! The Boxwood Press hardcover
