‎Portrait of Julia Marlowe. Inscribed by Marlow to a Friend 1940‎

‎New York: Arnold Genthe 1920. Silver gelatin print 6 ¾ x 9 ¼ inches on larger mount. Signed by Genthe on the mount inscribed by Marlowe as Marlowe Sothern on the mount as follows: “To Jean: our little comrade on our walks in Beautiful Stockbridge. In remembrance also of 'Sun Yat Sen' and Choo-Chio Chow. September. 1940. Julia Marlowe Sothern. Very Good. An uncommon image of the actress feminist and suffrage advocate Julia Marlowe who adopted the name - though never legally - Julia Marlowe Sothern after working with the Shakespearean actor E.H. Sothern. Ill health led Marlowe to retire from the stage in 1924 and she was seldom seen in public. This photograph inscribed later in her life is an uncommon relic from her reclusive later years. We can find no record of a Jean or the names mentioned. <br /> <br /> Arnold Genthe who famously photographed the San Francisco Earthquake of 1906 from the site of his destroyed studio moved to New York in 1911 where he became a portrait photographer. He most likely took this picture in his stint on the east coast. We find no other record of this specific portrait of Marlowe. Some silvering at margins otherwise excellent with some light normal tanning to mount. Arnold Genthe unknown‎

Striking and bright a little light soiling to the white portions and some toning to the spine panel of vol II one small closed tear to the upper edge of rear panel vol I.; internally clean and fresh with some neat ink marginalia. A very good attractive set.<br /> <br /> The first French language edition of Deutsch's oft reprinted and significant work "The Psychology of Women" which at the time of translation by Hubert Benoit was in its 7th English language edition. Covering every stage of a woman's life from infancy to death it was one of the first serious clinical efforts to describe and understand the vastly different socio-psychological development of women in a field that was mostly centred around trimming it to fit within the study of men. <br /> Dr. Deutsch was especially concerned with the dual nature of the female psyche the constant battle between individuality autonomy and what she referred to as being "A Servant of The Species." Deutsch was a student of Freud before becoming moving to the US and devoting herself to this study rightfully considered as groundbreaking in the psychological community.

Title “Photographs†in gilt. 230 snapshots in a variety of sizes most 3.5†x 4.5†inches but also 2.25†x 3.5†1.5†x 2.25†and 7†x 5â€. Both black and white and sepia in glossy and matte finishes. Very occasionally torn along the fold and minor silvering to a few photos. The life of three sisters growing up in the Midwest is captured with warmth and incredible detail creating a culturally significant document of middle-class family life between the World Wars. The majority are captioned in white pencil or white ink with the name of the person in the photo and a brief description like “Sunday bestâ€; some are a little ironic tone such as “Seeking sunburn†underneath a photo of two of the sisters sweaty and bare armed in a row boat and “No water but our tongues†under a picture of the sisters as little children in bathing suits on their porch pulling silly faces. We follow the women from childhood through early adulthood through their schools and summer camps across suburban Ohio the shores of Michigan and the wooded Ozarks. The private lives of these young girls are revealed to be impish spirited and silly in these intimate photographs; At the same time they were growing up in a period of great change. With the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920 they were the first generation of women to come of age in a time when they could exercise the right to vote. Bumping at corners and a half-inch tear at top of spine otherwise clean. First page separated. A fascinating cultural artifact of a historically significant period for women’s rights. unknown‎
