1951réf. 1604641951. Commemorating the American fallen A compelling album apparently made by the family of a fallen serviceman and therefore unique commemorating Eisenhower's presentation of the Roll of Honor to St Paul's Cathedral. The roll lists the 28000 American soldiers stationed in Britain who gave their lives in the Second World War. The album includes large-format photographs of the military procession to the ceremony; attendees entering the cathedral including Churchill Mountbatten Attlee the Queen Mother and Princess Elizabeth Eisenhower and Curtis LeMay; photographs of the service including the congregation singing hymns and the sermon by the Archbishop of Canterbury; and Eisenhower leaving the Cathedral. The ceremony was held on Independence Day. Eisenhower delivered a message: "Each name inscribed in this book is a story of personal tragedy and a grieving family; a story repeated endlessly in white crosses girdling the globe. The Americans whose names here appear were part of the price that free men have been forced a second time to pay in this century to defend human liberty and rights". The album includes a copy of a page from the roll listing names from Hiltabidle to Hitchings - presumably the album was made by the family of someone listed there. We could trace no other similar album. In 1958 the American Memorial Chapel was completed in a part of the cathedral that a bomb had hit in 1940. The roll now resides there and a page is turned each day to show different names. Landscape quarto album 318 x 419 mm. Four letterpress leaves partly printed in gilt comprising title excerpt from the Archbishop of Canterbury's address Eisenhower's introduction to the Roll of Honour and copy of page from roll all with acetate covers. Tan leatherette front cover lettered in blind "Commemoration Service - St. Paul's Cathedral - July 4. 1951." cord-bound cord recently renewed 33 heavy card leaves with 28 mounted black and white silver gelatin press photographs 203 x 254 cm most captioned by hand. Binding neatly restored and consolidated the photographs in sharp unblemished condition slight discolouration around letterpress leaves. In very good condition. hardcover

1953réf. 1581571953. A notable portrait presented to a prominent early supporter Inscribed by the president "For Senator William A. Purtell with best wishes and warm regard from his friend Dwight D. Eisenhower"; an appealing image of a pensive Eisenhower by renowned Capitol Hill photographer George Tames taken in the White House as Eisenhower announced the truce ending the Korean War. Purtell 1897-1978 served as Republican Senator for Connecticut in 1952 and from 1953 to 1959. He was one of the earliest Connecticut Republicans to support Eisenhower's run for the presidency. In turn Purtell's success in the November 1952 Connecticut senatorial election rode on the back of the strong public support for Eisenhower in the simultaneous presidential election; Purtell allied himself closely to Eisenhower's campaign platform. "A strong supporter of President D. Eisenhower's policies Senator Purtell was also a staunch American who liked to say: 'we have the finest country the finest system of society and the finest government in the world'" New York Times obituary 1 June 1978. The photographer George Tames 1919-1994 worked for the New York Times on Capitol Hill and in Washington from 1945 to 1985 taking many shots which became iconic. He took the photograph after Eisenhower's joint radio and television address to the nation announcing the signing of the Korean Armistice 26 July 1953. Interestingly this image would have been familiar to millions of Americans through its use on the 6 cent stamp issued in 1970. Official photograph taken by George Tames 358 x 280 mm copyright notice to verso stating reproduction by the Signal Corps of the US Army. Dark oak frame with conservation acrylic glazing 427 x 351 mm. Slight cockling inscription a little faded but still clearly legible very good. unknown

1965réf. 639641965. Signed. EISENHOWER Dwight D. Typed letter signed. Gettysburg: No publisher July 13 1965. Two sheets of letterhead measuring 7 by 10-1/2 inches. $2200.Delightfully conversational typed letter from Dwight D. Eisenhower to his friend Harry Anholt the long-time manager of Denvers Brown Palace Hotel regarding golf back maladies and the weather boldly initialed by Eisenhower.The letter typed on Eisenhowers personal stationery and addressed to Mr. Anholt Biltmore Hotel 43rd and Madison New York New York 10017 reads: July 13 1965. Dear Harry: Some days ago through Arline and Mamie I learned that you experienced some back trouble that sent you to the hospital. Because I am uncertain at this moment as to your location I think I had better send this note to you at the Biltmore Hotel and ask that it be forwarded. I rather suspect that the difficulty you are now having is somewhat similar to the one I experienced about two years ago in California. One day in the middle of a golf game my back began to hurt and got worse as the game progressed. That afternoon I lay down to take a rest and found to my chagrin that I could not get up. I had quite a time and there was brought in for my use a special bed that had electric gadgets which could raise me up to a sitting position or raise both back and knees when I wanted to read. It at least helped me to get in and out of bed and no longer did I have to have Moaney in to help. The pain was really severe when he would try and help me get out of bed. The upshot was that I missed almost four weeks of golf-eight days of which were spent in bed! According to Mamie Arline said the doctors are just making up their minds whether or not to operate; indicating that your case is much more severe than mine because at least none of my doctors suggested any cutting. Of course it is always irksome to lie in bed but I imagine what bothers you most is the impossibility to get on the golf course and keep up with your work in the office. At least that was what I found bothered me. On the other side of the coin I am lazy and something of a loafer-a tendency that helps be whenever the doctors pin me in bed. After a long dry spell our section had one good rain here but we were so dry that in spite of the fact that the rain came just last week end we need some more right now. I read that New York likewise had a good rain but I doubt that it was enough to alleviate the terrible water shortage that seems to be plaguing New York City. Next Monday Mamie and I are taking off by train to northern Wisconsin where we expect to stay about a week or ten days. Both of us send our very best wishes for your quick and complete recovery and of course are sic affectionate regard to you both As ever signed D.E. Moaney mentioned in the letter is Sergeant John A. Moaney Jr. who was Eisenhowers personal aide from 1942 to 1969 and who served as a pallbearer at his funeral. With original envelope bearing Eisenhower Presidential franking stamp. Staple holes small stain on envelope. Fine condition. unknown
1948réf. 016960Garden City: Doubleday & Company Inc. 1948. First Edition. Hardcover. Slight sunning to the spine about Fine lacking the slipcase. First Edition preceding the trade edition. Illustrated with drawings and photographs. There were 1426 deluxe numbered copies SIGNED by the author on the facsimile page of the D-Day Order to send the troops to storm the beaches of Normandy which begins: "You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you." Of those 1426 copies the first 25 were bound in full red morocco leather and put aside for Eisenhower's personal use. This is Copy #4 and in addition to having the SIGNED order is INSCRIBED by the President to his brother on the limitation page: "For my brother Edgar/In the hope that herein/he may find some small/thing to compensate him for/all the trouble caused him/by the soldier member of the/family with lasting devotion./Ike." Edgar N. Eisenhower 19 January 1889 - 12 July 1971 was a lawyer and the older brother of Dwight D. Eisenhower. The two brothers were known as Big Ike Edgar and Little Ike Dwight with Edgar eventually dropping the nickname. While Dwight's golf game would garner a great deal of attention and he became a most important person in the transition of golf from play to a sport Edgar was the much better golfer winning tournaments over a 20 year span. Edgar was known as a shoot-from-the-hip ultraconservative and a vocal critic of his brother the president. Edgar criticized Ike's budgets policies and judicial nominations. When the press asked Ike about the criticism he smiled and responded that Edgar had been "criticizing me since I was 5 years old." Ike's touching inscription in this book in just a few words perfectly captures their relationship. Doubleday & Company, Inc. hardcover
