Lightly rubbed cocked lower joint split chipping to head and foot of sunned spine. Marbled endpapers armorial bookplate of Glenbarr to FEP partially clipped contemporary inked ownership inscription to head of half-title. William St Clair's copy with his distinctive pencilled ownership inscription and manuscript notes to FEP: 'Contemporary pirate not recorded in Lyle. This must be an extremely rare volume: I have never heard tell of it. Resembles early English publisher's cloth but presumably the book has been rebound since the ownership inscription is clipped'. The first continental edition issued as a part of Brussels-based publisher A. Wahlen's Modern British Authors series of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's 1797-1851 fifth and penultimate novel; a romance that differs from her earlier work in its shift away from the supernatural or historical to a more contemporary setting to critique the limitations of the conventional Victorian class system. The novel's modern editor Lisa Vargo Lodore 1997 Introduction p.18-19 has noted the text's engagement with the education and social role of women suggesting that it dissects a patriarchal culture that pressured women into dependence on men. In the view of critic Betty T. Bennett Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley: An Introduction 1998: 'the novel proposes egalitarian educational paradigms for women and men which would bring social justice as well as the spiritual and intellectual means by which to meet the challenges life invariably brings'. The Literary Gazette No. 949 1835 heaped praise upon the novel dubbing Shelley 'one of the most original of our modern writers'. William St Clair 1937-2021 British scholar and senior civil servant notable as the author of The Godwins and the Shelleys The Biography of a Family 1989 and The Reading Nation in the Romantic Period 2004. . 8vo. Ad. Wahlen, Printer to the Court hardcover

1970réf. 155474N.p.: N.p. 1970. Collection of twelve vintage oversize double weight photographs eleven vintage contact sheets and six vintage photographs taken by noted fashion photographer Ara Gallant. Photographer's stamp on the versos. Gallant began his career in high fashion as a hairstylist for Vogue in the early 1960s becoming the first stylist to be paid solely to style hair by a magazine. He was best known for perfecting the "flying hair" technique most memorably captured on a portrait of Twiggy in 1968. During his tenure at Vogue he worked with a number of prominent photographers including Richard Avedon and Irving Penn and his work was featured on 26 Vogue covers in total. Gallant would begin working as a photographer in the 1970s succeeding Sari Marks as staff photographer for the fashion magazine Ambiance. Gallant became well known around New York for his personal style as much as his photographs sporting all black from head to toe wearing high heeled cowboy boots and a Japanese schoolboy hat lining his eyes with black kohl and frequenting Andy Warhol's Studio 54. By the 1980s drug use and financial troubles would force Gallant to sell his apartment in the West End relocating to Los Angeles where he would pursue an ultimately unsuccessful career in the film industry. The photographs in the collection taken throughout the 1970s feature a who's who of contemporary celebrities and are shot in Gallant's typically fantastical and glamorous style with an androgynous bent and of course distinctive hair. Gallant would enjoy a period of renewed interest after a collection of his styling and photographic work was published by Damiani in 2010 edited by David Wills. Photographs ranging from 6.25 x 7.75 inches to 11 x 14 inches. Near Fine to Very Good plus. N.p. unknown

1889réf. 11897London: Richard Bentley & Son 1889. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good . Large octavo 2 volumes 369pp. 325pp. illustrated. A crisp clean unopened set very good or better in the publisher's charming textured paper over mustard yellow cloth boards. Inner hinges tender with some partial cracks though the bindings are holding firm. Gentle corner wear mostly in one spot and light finger-soiling to the light cloth. Contents clean and very fresh with nearly all gatherings unopened; certainly unread. A surprisingly uncommon set which contains a great deal of correspondence involving the author of "Frankenstein" as well as a biography by Florence A. "Mrs. Julian" Marshall who was best known as a composer and conductor. As best we can tell this is the first full-length and separately published biography of Mary Shelley to have been published. Scarce in the trade and appearing infrequently at auction. OCLC holdings are hopelessly muddled but spot-checking suggests the vast majority of purported holdings are digital-only.

1959réf. 166066London: Beaconsfield Films 1959. Draft script for the 1959 British film copy belonging to Art Director George Provis with manuscript pencil annotations in Provis' hand on six pages. Laid in are over 50 pages of notes prop requirements and original set drawings as well as a three-page Unit List three carbon-typescript copy pages listing props and a 1959 typed letter signed to Provis from J. Crichton Slagg of Anglo-Scottish Pictures Limited regarding matte painting for the film. Provenance available upon request. George Provis was a British Art Director and Production Designer who began his career working on quota quickies low budget features made to comply with Britain's Cinematograph Films Act of 1927 in the 1930s. After the Second World War Provis was appointed by British film producer Sydney Box to head the art department at Gainsborough Pictures and is credited on over 120 films. Based on the 1944 play "Pick-Up Girl" by Elsa Shelley. A New York juvenile court judge Thomas MItchell hears a case of a 15 year-old girl Pauline Hehn caught with a 47 year-old man and reveals in flashback the girl's neglectful parents and her life's downward-spiral which lead to prostitution and abortion. A rather troubling time capsule of victim blaming and the social and sexual politics of the 1950s wherein the casualty of pedophelia is on trial with nary a accusation leveled at of the perpetrator of the crime. More so disturbing as the film was directed and co-written by a woman Muriel Box and based on a play by a woman Elsa Shelley. Tall maroon untitled wrappers with a die-cut window in the British style. Title page present with credits for playwright Elsa Shelley. 99 leaves with last page of text numbered 98. Mimeograph duplication rectos only.

Garnett spent his entire career working for the British Museum library during which he also pursued his own literary ambitions. In Io in Egypt and Other Poems 1859 he included a composition in honour of Shelley's memory "which appears to have given Garnett an introduction to the poet's son Sir Percy Florence Shelley and his wife Jane who was protective of her father-in-law's reputation" ODNB. This volume is dedicated to her. Garnett became a close ally of the couple and an active participant in their championing of the late Shelley. As part of his contribution to the poet's illustrious afterlife Garnett edited editions of his work and letters and produced Relics of Shelley 1962 an important collection of unpublished pieces.
