1979Best.-Nr. 195089London: Routledge & Kegan Paul 1979. Frances Partridge's manuscript notes on the philosophy of her friend Frank P. Ramsey loosely inserted in her copy of the 1979 reprint of his Foundations with her ownership signature on the front free endpaper. The notes were apparently made in preparation for "Death of a Philosopher" her chapter on Ramsey in Memories 1981. Partridge 1900-2004 was an intimate of the Bloomsbury circle who eventually became its last surviving member. Around 80 when she made these notes she was "sought out by a new generation of writers and scholars interested in the Bloomsbury world of her youth to whom she was always generous in accordance with her strong belief in the importance of telling the truth" ODNB. Ramsey 1903-1930 was Partridge's close friend a Cambridge Apostle and close intellectual associate of Wittgenstein who made important contributions to mathematics philosophy and economics before his early death at 26. Wittgenstein accompanied Partridge to Ramsey's deathbed. The notes are intellectual rather than merely reminiscent engaging closely with Ramsey's arguments and their implications; Partridge "maintained a lifelong interest in philosophy which she would read for pleasure" ODNB. Her assessment is nevertheless far from uncritical. Comparing Ramsey with Bertrand Russell and Socrates she concludes: "I find a lot of this unintelligible even to the extent of not seeing its interest". Notes: single sheet of lined paper 320 × 181 mm approximately 500 words in ink on both sides. Book: octavo original green cloth spine lettered in gilt. With dust jacket. Notes with slight fraying round extremities and handling creasing; similar handling marks to book and jacket the book with some pencilled sidelining: overall in very good condition. hardcover
1921Best.-Nr. 6801Oakland: Roi Partridge 1921 Original etching on steel-faced copper. 6 7/8 x 61/8 inches impression. Black ink on laid rag paper. Signed and dated within the plate at lower right Roi Partridge 1921. A very fine example expertly framed and glazed. A wonderful example of this artist's work. Unlike many of his etchings which are bold and rather abstract Lone Pine is delicate and detailed and is one of a total edition of 65 impressions. The plate was then canceled. The etching is signed in pencil at the center of the lower margin "Roi Partridge." Roi George Partridge was born in Washington Territory in 1888. In 1909 the budding artist traveled to New York City for one year of art study at the National Academy of Design followed by studies in etching in Munich under Brockhoff. Partridge's next three years were spent in Paris where he worked as a printmaker. He returned to Seattle in 1914 and in 1915 forty-four of his etchings were shown at the Panama Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco. At this point Partridge decided to make California his home and moved to San Francisco in 1917. He began teaching at Mills College in Oakland in 1920 and became the first director of the school's art gallery. His first marriage was to the famed photographer Imogen Cunningham. Partridge continued etching until his retirement in 1954. He had achieved international recognition as one of America's greatest artists specializing almost exclusively in the art of etching. Partridge held memberships in the National Academy of Design California Society of Etchers; Chicago Society of Etchers San Francisco Art Association and more. He won medals at various exhibitions including the National Academy of Design 1910 Art Institute of Chicago 1921 the Los Angeles County Museum of Art 1922 Mills College 1930 etc. Partridge's work is held in many institutional collections including the National Museum of American Art Oakland Museum De Young Museum San Francisco Museum of Art the California State Library San Diego Museum Los Angeles County Museum and on and on.
