rif. 6136One large page 9 x 5 1/2 inches. Superb and early autograph letter signed by famed American artist and illustrator Will Bradley to Frances F. Browne a noted editor and literary critic with whom Bradley would work closely with over the years. Written on Bradley's stationary printed at top left: "Will H. Bradley/Artist/1111 Monadnock Building/Chicago." The letter is almost entirely taken up with design and description of his art: "Aug 25 -92. Mr. Frances F. Browne Dear Sir: I will explain the design & send you by today's mail as the pencil sketch is not very clear. Below the dial are laurel branches which support the dial and also two torches. The sun is indicated its rays forming a background to add a little strength to center of design. The laurel branches are woven to form four leaf shaped designs in the center of which are emblems the ribbon work continues below the title and on this I have indicated the sub-title as it will help to make the design compact. The rough sketch looks a little crowded but the finished drawing will not appear so as the title will be strong. " Very good with slight browning to bottom crease marks barely visible to face of letter. Early Will Bradley letters are scarce especially with association. unknown
rif. 6196Offered here is a wonderful pen and ink drawing and paste-up for the title-page of an 1899 pamphlet or booklet for the Twentieth Century Club in Chicago. Matted and framed under glass image size: 7 x 4 3/4 inches. "The origins of Chicago's Twentieth Century Club lay in the belief that the creation of a cultural and literary club composed of members from the city's best families could help Chicago overcome its reputation for coarseness. Spearheaded by Mrs. George R. Genevieve Jones Grant of Prairie Avenue and several of her friends the club was organized to replicate similar organizations in New York and elsewhere. Potential members were nominated and vetted before they were offered membership. The club suffered from open tensions over control the club and the nature of its cultural and social activities. This page from Jones's father Fernando's scrapbook provides a sense of the club's mission the social struggles of the rapidly growing city and the elite's consciousness about the city's reputation compared to that of its chief rival New York." -clipping from a scrapbook ca. 1900. With two sets of overlays in card added by Bradley at the bottom to affect the proper spacing of the lettering which reads: "1899/ Constitution/ History/ Officers/ List of Members/ and Meetings." Fine. unknown
rif. 6197Offered here are three ALS by Will Bradley in 1894 to "The Dial" a Chicago publisher and specifically to F. G. Browne who was in charge of business interest for the company concerning proposed sketches he was working on for Harry B. Smith's book "Lyrics and Sonnets" which was published by The Dial Press later that year. Three ALS on ruled paper: 1 "Mr. F. G. Browne: 'The Dial' Chicago. Dear Sir: Please consign to the waste basket the sketches I sent Saturday. have had better luck since sending them. and will call with finished drawing at about 10 to-morrow A.M. Yours resp. Will H. Bradley Geneva Apr. 9-94." 2 "Mr. F. G. Browne Chicago. Dear Sir: Your postal arrived this morning. will send or ring sketches so you will get thru to-morrow A.M. Hope circumstances will permit of Mr. Smith waiting to see them. Yours resp. Will H. Bradley. Geneva Apr. 6.94." 3 "Dear Mr. Browne Enclosed are two rough sketches. This work has been a blank with me as I have spoiled everything I have undertaken. I let your work go until to-day hoping my luck would change but it hasn't will come in and see you next week. Yours resp. Will H. Bradley. Geneva apr 7 9r." A fascinatingly self-effacing series of letters by Bradley written very early in his luminous and successful career as book designer and illustrator. In fact Bradley had only provided art for four books prior to Smith's "Lyrics and Sonnets" and the stress of not coming up with adequate designs was obviously causing stress. The letters are near fine written on interestingly cheap ruled paper. Most scarce grouping two of the proposed sketches are in our possession listed in other cataloged entries. unknown

rif. 4803Two pages on folded light green paper April 28 1901. Autograph Letter Signed to noted American architect author and printing designer Frank Chouteau Brown during the very period in which Will Bradley was withdrawing from work for a season owing to personal stresses and impending nervous breakdown and the letter deals with Bradley's inability to take on work. Bradley writes to Chouteau "10 Kirkland Road Cambridge 1901. My Dear Sir: I have yours of the 22nd. I am very sorry that even with the extended time I can't possibly give you any material for your book. I found it necessary the first of this year to refrain from taking on any new work even of the slightest nature as I am now spending longer hours at my drawings than I should and even then I can't get through with the work I have in hand." He goes on to explain how he'd like to take up a rest in the latter part of August and in order to accomplish this he must "keep everlastingly at it." He closes with a pleasant invitation to call but he trusts "you won't urge me any further to give you a drawing. Yours Truly Will Bradley." And below that "To Frank C. Brown Esq. Boston." Fine folded twice. An interesting and personal Will Bradley letter which rarely shows up in the marketplace nowadays. unknown
