Nothing So Monstrous

1936réf. 56139New York: Pynson Printers 1936. Hardcover. Fine. First Separate Edition originally published in The Pastures of Heaven 1932. An unusually fine fresh copy with the corners square and virtually unrubbed. Goldstone notes that the paper supply allowed only 370 copies to be printed. Published for subscribers to use as Christmas gifts the colophon was customized with the subscriber's name following "made by the Pynson Printers of New York at the request of blank for presentation to blank." Fifty copies were so designated for Elmer Adler 100 for Frederick B. Adams Jr. 150 for Ben Abramson 50 for Edwin J. Beinecke and 20 for antiquarian bookseller Howard Mott although evidently fewer were issued with his name; only one is known. Unknown to Goldstone there were six copies for Steinbeck as well. This copy has the subscriber's name The Colophon handwritten in for presentation to the noted printer Carl P. Rollins. Additionally this copy is Signed by the subscribers Adams and Adler as well as by bookman John T. Winterich. All three were editors of The Colophon a magazine for book collectors. Rollins was the first "University Printer" at Yale. Goldstone A2f. Pynson Printers hardcover books

Positano

1954réf. 377801Salerno Italy: Ente Provinciale per il Turismo 1954. First edition first issue. 30 pp. Yellow printed paper wrappers some wear to wrappers. Interior clean in unrecorded dust jacket with woodcut of "Posetano" on front panel and "Auguri / Dorothy and Truman" printed on the inner flap some light wear along top edge of jacket otherwise its in near fine condition. First edition first issue. 30 pp. This copy specifically states "1954" on the inside front cover and would therefore precede the Italian edition published in 1955 as well as Goldstone & Payne's first English language edition. Variants have been noted see Bradford Morrow's Steinbeck catalogue which bear the date 1954 - whether this represents a different edition or later issue is unclear. Steinbeck's article had appeared in Harper's Bazaar for May 1953 and the Italian translation preceded the English version. This dust jacket is unrecorded.

Original photographic silver print portrait of John Steinbeck

1960réf. 28275N.p. n.d. but circa 1960 1960. Hinged on the verso of a board and matted which should probably be replaced. Original wooden frame preserved but chipped and worn. 27 x 20 cm signed on the verso in pencil by the photographer William Ward Beecher. A photographic portrait of John Steinbeck taken by artist William Ward Beecher 1921-2006 a descendant of the famous New England Beechers. How many portraits were produced from this one sitting is not recorded but there were at least two: this one and a similar one that was used in 1961 on the rear panel of the dust jacket of Winter of Our Discontent. This one which apparently was not published was the personal property of John and Elaine Steinbeck and was sold as part of the remains of their estate in February 2020. Betty and William Ward Beecher and the Steinbecks were apparently friends. The Beechers had books inscribed to them by John Steinbeck and the Steinbecks owned a few of Beecher's lithographs and paintings. N.p., n.d. [but circa 1960] unknown

Original gouache poster design for the Broadway production of John Steinbeck's "The Moon is Down." Partisan in front of Nazi firing squad. Signed.

réf. 16-5572New York: Martin Beck Theatre1942. Gouache in 4 colors on board.66 x 48 cm. Witold Gordon was a Polish-born American Art Deco painter best known for his murals in Radio City Music Hall completed in 1932. He painted a 6000 square foot mural for the 1939 New York World's Fair and a series of New Yorker covers depicting the city in its recent past. He also designed the poster for the original Broadway production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma! .Gordon was born in Warsaw Poland in 1885 and studies at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. After he finished his studies he moved to New York. He worked with Donald Deskey in the design of Radio City Music Hall where two of his murals are exhibited. He illustrated books and designed the poster for the Olympic Games in Lake Placid NY in 1933. In 1939 he created a painting for the New York Worlds' Fair. He traveled throughout the South and produced a series of paintings with the name "American Scene" which was exhibited in 1941 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. During his travels he painted in Gouache storefronts and housefronts that he felt showed the true face of America. In 1934 he was commissioned by Conde Nast to paint a series of "New York Shops" New York Shops you Never See which were published in Vanity Fair Magazine in July of 1934. In 1932 when Georgia O'Keefe accepted the commission to paint a mural in the Ladies' Room in Radio City Music Hall and abandoned it at the advice of her husband Alfred Steiglitz who said "Ms. O'Keefe does NOT do bathrooms!" Witold Gordon was given the commission and painted two murals for Deskey's masterpiece.Witold Gordon died in 1968.1943."Free men cannot start a war but once it is started they can fight on in defeat. Herd men followers of a leader cannot do that and so it is always the herd men who win battles and the free men who win wars.”â€• John Steinbeck The Moon Is Down.The Moon is Down was John Steinbeck's second attempt at writing a novel in play form Of Mice and Men was his first. It was composed while on assignment from the Foreign Information Service a division of the Office of Strategic Services charged with combating Nazi propaganda. His original story depicting a small American town invaded by enemy troops was rejected by the FIS who feared that it might demoralize the civilian public. In his revised manuscript published by Viking in 1942 Steinbeck kept the same plot but set it in an unnamed Scandinavian town rather than the United States. Despite mixed critical reception the book was a remarkable public success outselling The Grapes of Wrath two-to-one in pre-publication; it would eventually pass through 76 editions. Shortly after publication the producer Oscar Serlin purchased the dramatic rights to The Moon is Down Herman Shumlin initially bought them but passed them on saying he “did not care for The Moon is Down’s politics.” Serlin known for his production of “Life with Father” accepted the challenge believing Steinbeck’s play would attract a large audience. “The Moon is Down” premiered on Broadway in April 1942 starring Otto Kruger as Colonel Lanser and Ralph Morgan as Mayor Orden. Like the novel before it the play was publicly adored but critically lambasted. Life magazine reported that it was “trumpeted louder than any literary event of the season” while the critical consensus was that “Steinbeck was too easy on the Germans too optimistic about the ultimate victory of the Allies and ultimately too moralistic." Despite its initial Broadway run lasting only nine weeks the play was immensely successful on the road and abroad especially in London and Stockholm. Rather surprisingly it was nominated for Best Play by the New York Drama Critics’ Circle and placed second.Provenance: From the estate of producer Oscar Serlin.
