1928réf. 145380Snowshill Cotswolds: November 1928. Cotswold calligraphy A beautiful arts and crafts style calligraphic Christmas gift inscribed in orange ink to the final leaf "Written for Miss Ellen D. Sharpe by her friend S. B. Russell at Snowshill on the Cotswolds in November 1928". The work was created by Sydney Bolton Russell 1866-1938 the father of the arts and crafts furniture designer Gordon Russell 1892-1980. Sydney moved to the Cotswolds in 1904 when he bought the Lygon Arms in Broadway. He renovated the property in 1910 with the help of the arts and crafts architect Charles Bateman and it was at this time that Gordon developed an increasing interest in furniture design and the wider arts and crafts movement as he repaired the inn's antique furniture. Sydney moved out of the inn in 1915 which was by then a hotel of national repute and to the neighbouring town of Snowshill and a home he again renovated with Batemen in order to spend more time on his own artistic endeavours. In 1922 he and Gordon established Russell and Sons a brand which shaped 20th-century furniture design. The recipient of this Christmas gift was Ellen Dexter Sharpe 1861-1953 a patron of the arts in Providence who gave numerous donations to the Rhode Island School of Design. Russell travelled to Boston in October 1926 and likely met Sharpe on this visit. Quarto 280 x 186 mm pp. 18.

The show was Coward's most successful musical play running in the West End from 1929 to 1931 and on Broadway from 1929 to 1930. This volume is accompanied by the publisher's prospectus.

'Max took a great liking to Noël Coward himself and was enchanted with the play' wrote David Cecil. 'Its nostalgic evocation of Victorian and Edwardian epochs chimed deliciously with the wit of the song 'Green carnation' which poked fun at the very group of 'greenery-yallery' aesthetes the venerable dandy personified" Hoare. Provenance: the New York collector Herbert Schimmel 1909-2003 with his bookplate on the inside cover.

Farnie's arrival together with that of another new boy causes havoc around a series of important cricket matches.Cricket was a longstanding passion of Wodehouse's. He played for the amateur cricket team the 'Allahakhbarries' captained by J.M. Barrie 1860-1937 whose members also included Jerome K. Jerome 1859-1927 A.A. Milne 1882-1956 and Arthur Conan Doyle 1859-1930. His enthusiasm for the game is evident in a letter to his publisher written while working on the novel: 'There is a great deal of cricket in the book in fact strictly speaking it is nearly all cricket for very little else except that game goes on in the Summer Term at school' Ratcliffe pp. 58-59. Despite his affection for the subject he appears to have had some reservations about the novel adding: 'I hope if you do not like The Prefect's Uncle at first sight you will let me revise it. I can generally improve on my work at a second attempt' ibid.McIlvaine A2a. See Ratcliffe ed. P.G. Wodehouse: A Life in Letters 2011. hardcover

1944Single sheet of stout card measuring approx. 4.5 x 7.5 inches (12.0 x 19.0 cms), obverse with gilt edges printed with the insignia of 'Admiral Inspector of the Fleet' in gilt and black and seasonal text in black; reverse blank, the whole housed in custom-made solander case. The seasonal text, SIGNED BY DONITZ IN BLUE INK , reads 'Grossadmiral Donitz dankt fur die guten Wunsche zum Weihachtsfest und zum neuen jahr und erwidert sie herzlich'. Grossadmiral Karl Donitz (1871-1980), German naval leader and Hitler's successor, commanded the Kriegsmarine during the latter half of WWII and is remembered particularly for his promotion of the U-boat offensive. He also served as Reichspraesident following Hitler's suicide in April 1945. Having authorised the German surrender he became a prisoner-of-war of the British and was sentenced to ten years' imprisonment for war crimes (primarily for ordering unrestricted submarine warfare). Following his release from Spandau in October 1956, Donitz's reputation underwent a degree of rehabilitation and he took considerable pains to answer correspondence and to provide autographs when required (including a facsimile for historians and collectors of the Articles of Surrender which he co-signed with Montgomery). HOWEVER, DOCUMENTS SIGNED BY DONITZ DURING THE WAR YEARS ARE SCARCE.

Original Hardcover with the very rare original dustjacket in protective collector's mylar. Very good condition with only minor signs of wear and foxing to the edges and several pages. This book is very rare in its original dustjacket. Inscribed and signed by Charles Noel Carnegie 10th Earl of Southesk 1854-1941: "To Lady Adam Smith from the Earl of Southesk - Jan 1934". With a newspaper-clipping on an event of Inverness Central School loosely inserted and with a newspaper-clipping shopwing the elderly "Earl of Southesk and Mr. Donald Steuart-Fothringham going out to shoot over Petterden Moor Angus". A wonderful association copy ! Charles Noel Carnegie 10th Earl of Southesk JP DL 20 March 1854 10 November 1941 was a Scottish nobleman. Carnegie was the son of the explorer and poet James Carnegie 9th Earl of Southesk and his first wife Catherine Hamilton Noel daughter of the Charles Noel 1st Earl of Gainsborough. He had three older sisters Lady Arabella Charlotte wife of Samuel Romilly Lady Constance Mary wife of Victor Bruce 9th Earl of Elgin and Lady Beatrice Diana Cecilia Diana Cecillia wife of the Rev. Henry Holmes Stewart. After his mother's death in 1855 at the age of twenty-six his father remarried to Lady Susan Catherine Mary Murray eldest daughter of the 6th Earl of Dunmore in 1860. From his father's second marriage he had seven younger half-siblings including: Sir Lancelot Douglas Carnegie Lady Dora Susan wife of Maj. Ernest de Rodakowski-Rivers Lady Elizabeth Erica Lady Helena Mariota Lady Katherine Agnes Blanche wife of Courtenay Morgan 1st Viscount Tredegar Hon. Robert Francis who married Violet Fraser and Hon. David Wynford Carnegie. His paternal grandparents were Sir James Carnegie 5th Baronet de jure 8th Earl of Southesk and the former Charlotte Lysons a daughter of the Reverend Daniel Lysons. He was educated at Harrow and St Andrews University and would later receive an honorary degree from the university in October 1902. Amongst his various offices he was commissioned as a Lieutenant in the part-time Forfar and Kincardine Artillery Militia in 1872 and steadily progressed through the officer ranks until he became the Lieutenant-Colonel Commandant in 1894 with the honorary rank of Colonel. He retired from the command in 1906. He also served as a Deputy Lieutenant for Angus Aberdeenshire and Kincardineshire from 5 January 1900. He held the office of Justice of the Peace for Aberdeenshire and for Angus. In 1905 he succeeded his father as the 10th Earl of Southesk who had restored the family titles with the original precedence by reversal of the 1715 Act of Attainder in 1855. He had the reputation of being the best game shot in Scotland. In 1921 Kinnaird Castle which was situated in one of the grandest Scottish glens and was the seat of the Earls of Southesk for more than 600 years burnt to the ground. "Only a small part of the servant's wing has escaped. A considerable part of the library was saved but many books impossible to replace as well as Raeburn's portrait of Lady Carnegie valued at £10000 were lost." Lord Southesk rebuilt the castle. A prominent art collector he owned "a large collection of paintings by old masters and antique gems." Source: Wikipedia hardcover
1945réf. 89879n. l. Paris: s. n. Paysage dimanche 1945. Fine. s. n. Paysage dimanche n. l. Paris s. d. 1945 11.50 x 22 cm 3 pages in-4 Autograph manuscript by the author 3 pages in-8 published in issue 21 4 November 1945 of Paysage Dimanche. Complete manuscript written on both sides in a very dense hand with numerous deletions corrections and additions. Together with the complete typescript bearing 3 autograph corrections in black ink. This text by Maurice Blanchot « Les malheurs de ""Peau d'âne"" » contains two paradoxes. Contrary to what its title suggests it does not deal with the work of Charles Perrault; furthermore this column is devoted to the tales of an author whom the critic had already cited in his article on the fantastic novel published the previous year in the Journal des Débats and whose work he appeared to have little taste for: Noël Devaulx. Yet with nuance Blanchot here reveals to the reader the qualities of these tales and beyond that their terrible relevance in the year 1945: « Il y a dans ces récits d'au-delà du monde un certain charme provincial qui est assez singulier ; ils n'ont assurément rien à voir avec quelque folklore mais se déroulant comme tout vrai conte ""aux environs de l'absence"" ils finissent par nous imposer cette impression que nulle part est une province morte que c'est un lieu aussi suranné précieux et ridicule que peut l'être la province la plus archaïque. Or cette impression ne laisse pas de nous inquiéter. Car ce monde qu'on nous découvre et qui a la fragilité l'air endormi et sournois des objets dans les vieilles maisons c'est le nôtre mais c'est surtout celui de nos inquiétudes les plus brûlantes celui de la surnature et du surréel. . Après la lecture de L'Auberge on rêve à l'autre monde comme à un modeste salon de campagne du dehors encore très respectable de bonne compagnie et même solide mais qu'on y entre et tout vole en poussière. » A subtly political reading of Noël Devaulxs tales. s. n.

1925réf. W1862New York: Unpublished 1925. Original photograph by the Australian-American photographer Anton Bruehl 1900-1982. A vintage circa 1925 gelatin silver print mounted on cardstock. 7 1/2 inches by 5 1/2 inches. The photograph is unsigned but the composition of the still-life photo includes a roughly torn piece of paper that includes the caption that was handwritten by the photographer and is signed "Greetings Anton Bruehl." In 1919 the Australian born Bruehl along with his brother and parents emigrated to the United States where he worked for Western Electric as an electrical engineer until an exhibition of Clarence H. White's photographs persuaded him to change professions. In 1924 he enrolled in White's photography school and by the next year was hired to teach in the school. In a 1976 article for Image magazine landscape photographer Joe Deal observed that "Anton Bruehl's background in engineering and love of machine forms in combination with his training under Clarence White resulted in still life photographs which give the satisfaction of well-resolved formal problems and portraits choreographed with the rhythm and movement characteristic of the age." Bruehl's early black and white still-life photographs are much more scarce than his later color images and they seldom come on the market. The photograph is clean and bright with just a hint of edgewear and a 1-inch crease line at the bottom edge. . First Edition. Single Sheet. Collectible-Very Good.
