Seven Photographs of Jazz Musicians

1960réf. CAT206New York et al. 1960. Five 8 x 10 and two 5 x 7 inch gelatin silver prints with Bradley’s estate marks to versos. Excellent. Jack Bradley was a Cape Cod native who after graduating from the Massachusetts Maritime Academy fell in love with Jazz after seeing Louis Armstrong perform at the Boston Armory in 1956. In 1958 he moved to New York from Cape Cod and began dating Jeann Failows a member of Louis Armstrong’s inner circle. Through Failows Bradley gained access to Armstrong eventually becoming very close friends with the trumpeter and his inner circle. Bradley already had amassed a large collection of jazz material much related to Armstrong and he augmented his own collection by photographing Armstrong and his Jazz circle for the next decade. The bulk of Bradley’s collection now resides at the Louis Armstrong House Museum in Queens. This collection is of seven photographs of jazz musicians from Bradley’s estate showing a wonderful window into the tail end of the Classic Jazz era. Photographs as follows: Willie Cook. 5 x 7 inches. A portrait of Cook seated. Excellent condition. Count Basie and Duke Ellington. 5 x 7 inches. The two jazz greats are seated at their respective pianos during rehearsal. Excellent condition. Duke Ellington’s Empty Bandstand. 8 x 10 inches. The horns chairs and sheet music are laid out. Very good condition with some toning to margins and a faint scratch at outer edge of image. Duke Ellington Conducting his Band. 8 x 10 inches. Excellent condition. Ella Fitzgerald at the Apollo Theatre New York c. 1959. 8 x 10 inches. Excellent Condition. Count Basie Seated at a Table Smoking a Cigar. 8 x 10 inches. Excellent condition. Pee Wee russell Painting at his New York Apartment c. 1966. Good condition marginal tear affecting ½ inch of image.

réf. Q567Chicago: Montgomery Ward & Co. Good. Complete set of 20 stencils 4.5 x 6.5 inches each plus a stock of practice papers and four sheets with a child's examples on each side.

Stencils generally in Very Good condition with occasional markings from use. The house stencil has a torn piece which is still present; the stencils are otherwise without major damage or loss. The box is in Fair to Good condition moderately soiled and worn at the edges. Bottom slightly crushed and with about 2 inches of lip missing from the lid; still rests squarely. A selection of stencils originally designed and manufactured by Milton Bradley Co. beginning in the late 1800s. These represent number 1 in a 4-part series sold in the Montgomery Ward Stationery Department in the early to mid 20th century. Undated possibly ca. 1920 which may also account for the attention paid to explaining the German manufacture of the stencils and promoting the designs including a baseball theme and ad for Milton Bradley Co. Kindergarten Blocks as distinctly American: "The German drawing stencils made from leather-paper with perforations for the insertion of a lead or slate pencil have become very popular as fascinating and educational busy work at home and in sub-primary schools. Owing to the peculiar nature of the material and the processes of manufacture all these goods have thus far been imported and a large proportion of the designs are consequently peculiarly foreign. In the "Little Artist Stencils" many are new from American designs and consequently more attractive to American children; these are found in no other collections. Each set is in an ornamental box with chromo label bearing the title as above "Drawing Stencils for our Little Artist." Montgomery Ward & Co. hardcover
