Etching on paper; paper 11-3/4 x 9 inches plate 5-3/4 x 4 inches. 1 vols. Hermann Struck 1876-1944is recognized for his extensive landscapes and portraits of noted personalities in early 20th century Europe including Herzl Ibsen Nietzsche Freud Einstein Rutenberg et al. He was born into an Orthodox Berlin family and subsequently studied at the Berlin Academy under Max Koner and Hans Meyer. He joined the Zionist movement at an early age and in 1903 after several study trips throughout Europe he visited Palestine and on his way back to Germany stopped in Vienna where he was introduced to Herzl. It was this meeting that inspired the famous portrait etching of the Zionist leader. During World War I Struck served with the German Army in Lithuania where he came in contact with Eastern European Jews and embraced their way of life. In 1923 he returned to Palestine and settled in Haifa. By now a master of the craft of etching Struck taught graphic techniques to such fellow artists as Chagall Liebermann Israels Corinth Ury and Budko. His book Die Kunst des Radierens 1923 a popular guide book for artists and connoisseurs provides both technical explanations and practical instruction. Struck excelled as a portraitist. He also recorded landscapes Jewish and Arab types and scenes from the Jewish diaspora. He spent time in England and became a member of the London Society of Painters Etchers and Engravers. unknown

Measuring 10.5" x 5.25" including stub. Attached at the margin with a stub to a transfer document.

The Woman's Journal was the first regular woman's rights periodical in America. Its publication was the crowning achievement of Lucy Stone's long and distinguished feminist career. According to HAWH: "Stone's most active and lasting contribution to the women's movement is The Woman's Journal which she founded in 1870 and edited until her death in 1893. This extraordinary archive of women's history provided a weekly chronicle of woman's progress - political vocational economic cultural and legal-both in the United States and abroad.for over sixty one years." As the political organ of the National American Woman Suffrage Association The Woman's Journal printed meeting and convention addresses and notes reported on national and international news published columns and editorials on the suffrage struggle as well as poems stories and book reviews. Regular contributors included Julia Ward Howe William Lloyd Garrison T.W. Higginson and of course Lucy Stone and her husband Henry Brown Blackwell. After Stone's 1893 death her daughter Alice Stone Blackwell assumed responsibility for producing and editing the journal which was renamed The Woman Citizen; contributors to this new incarnation of the periodical read like a virtual who's who of early modern feminism: Susan B. Anthony Anna Shaw and Carrie Chapman Catt were only a few of the names on its ever-expanding masthead. This stock certificate from the founding of The Woman's Journal's production is a tangible artifact of the first American woman's rights periodical and a glimpse at the relationships and efforts behind its financing.

Here "After Berneval" is offered with "After Reading" its earlier companion volume both of them in their deluxe form on Japanese vellum and including an extra suite of the illustrations. "Reading" comprises a set of letters also written to Ross by Wilde during the summer of 1897 after having just been released from two years' imprisonment in Reading Gaol. The preface to its sequel "After Berneval" says that the earlier collection "was unprocurable almost as soon as it was published." The letters in these volumes tell the story of a tragic literary figure who fell from a precipitous height. Oscar Wilde 1854-1900 was born and raised in Ireland studied classics at Trinity College Dublin and at Magdalen College Oxford before settling in London. There he became famous for his unmatched wit and infamous for his personal eccentricities--long hair décor at his lodgings that included peacock feathers and blue china and ultimately sexual behavior that was deemed both intolerable and criminal. During the first half of the 1890s he was enjoying remarkable social prominence and literary success with the staging of "Lady Windermere's Fan" 1892 "A Woman of No Importance" 1893 "An Ideal Husband" 1894 and the incomparable "The Importance of Being Earnest" 1895. But two months after the staging of this last play he brought a defamation suit against the Marquess of Queensbury the father of his intimate friend Lord Alfred Douglas. The suit backfired: in the course of the litigation Wilde was investigated by police and his homosexuality was exposed leaving his reputation destroyed. He was sentenced in May of 1895 to two years of hard labor spending part of his time behind bars at Reading Gaol where he produced his powerful poem "De Profundis." After release he moved to the Continent and died three years later in Paris of meningitis. As Day says "Among English men of letters only Byron and Shaw have surpassed Wilde in the craft of conscious posing and self-publicizing" a fact that has made succeeding generations suspicious of the reality behind the legend that the author helped to establish. But after a period when he was treated as a kind of martyr because of his suffering at the hands of squeamish Victorianism "it is at last possible to evaluate Wilde as the capable literary artist he actually was." In physical terms these are modest but nevertheless pleasing products of the Beaumont Press founded by Cyril W. Beaumont in 1917. A special feature of the Press is its patterned paper bindings each with a design created for one title only. Beaumont Press unknown
