1923rif. 9283New York City 1923. Two black and white 8x10 photographs with some fading very good. The Andrieff Trio was a popular terpsichorean act in the 1920s Vaudeville scene made up of married couple Yasha and Marie Andrieff and Yasha's brother Andrew Andrieff. All three dancers were Russian and trained in both classical and popular dance styles. Their headlining act was what they called the "double face dance" where Marie danced with both men simultaneously and through clever costuming and choreography seemed to be perpetually facing the audience as her partners spun her around the stage. The group was scheduled to perform at the Bushwick Theater part of B.F. Keith's network of Vaudeville performance venues the week of September 3 1923. The picture of just Yasha and Marie is dated September 10 and inscribed to "our dear friend Mr. and Mrs. Klawans" likely referring to Bernard "Barney" Klawans the Broadway producer. unknown

1863rif. 100670Boston: Transcript Job Printing Office 1863. 1863. Very good. - An original 10-3/8 inch high by 6-5/8 inch wide broadsheet announcement for the Grau Italian Opera Company's performances of "Norma" "Les Noces de Jeannette" "La Traviata" and "Lucrezia Borgia" with a 2-7/8 inch high by 6-5/8 inch wide tipped-on overlay advertising the following week's performances of "I Puritani" and a performance of "Oratorio and Sacred Concert" several featuring the Opera Soprano Madame Lorini in the title roles. The broadsheet advertises the Friday February 27 performances of "Norma" and "Les Noces de Jeannette" and the following Saturday & Sunday's performances of "La Traviata" and "Lucrezia Borgia" with the Following week's Monday performance of "I Puritani" and the Tuesday performance of "La Juive" printed on the recto of the overlay tipped on over the Saturday program with that Sunday's "Oratorio and Sacred Concert" advertised on the verso of the overlay. The Broadside is dated "Sunday Evening March 1 1863 under the announcements of "La Traviata" and "Lucrezia Borgia". There is some minor foxing and darkening and the broadsheet is mounted from the verso onto slightly larger heavy cream paper. Very good. The Brau Italian Opera Company began a six week engagement at the Boston Academy of Music on February 9th. This was the last time that what became "The Boston Theatre" was called "The Academy of Music". Among the singers were Madame Lorini Mlle Morensi Signor Maccaferri Signor Susini Mademoiselle Cordier Signor Dubreul etc. The November 15 1862 New York Herald review of an earlier performance of "Norma" at the Academy of Music possibly the Brooklyn Academy of Music in that case highly praises the quality of the Soprano's voice "It follows as a matter of course from what we have just stated that Madame Lorini's debut last night was a success. She had sung but a few passages when the audience recognized the beautiful quality of her voice--pure round and fresh--and though not as powerful as one would wish to hear in Norma still with volume sufficient to give a perfect interpretation of the music of the part. Her method is excellent and exhibits evidence of her Italian training." [Boston]: Transcript Job Printing Office, 1863.

1491rif. 915Terviso or Venice: Michael Manzolus 1491. First Edition with the commentary of Acron and Pomponius Porphyrio. Bound in modern marbled gilt calf. A very large and clean copy with marginal indexing on a few signatures in red others in brown ink. A very Large copy of a very very rare edition of Horace https://data.cerl.org/istc/ih00451000 GW 13457; Goff H451; BMC V 315 IB. 21815; Bod-inc H-203; CIBN H-275. Located copies:The Walters Art Museum Bancroft Library Yale Free Library of Philadelphia Princeton Univ. Brown University Pauline Fore Moffitt Library University of California General Library. The unique charm of Horace's lyric poetry arises from his combination of the metre and style of the distant past—the world of the Archaic Greek lyric poets—with descriptions of his personal experience and the important moments of Roman life. He creates an intermediate space between the real world and the world of his imagination populated with fauns nymphs and other divinities. He denounces corrupt morals praises the integrity of the people of Italy and shows a ruler who carries on his shoulders the burden of power. Other Augustan themes that appear in Horace's lyric verse include the idea of the universal character and eternity of Roman political dominion and the affirmation of the continuity of the republican tradition with the Augustan principate. At some stage Augustus offered Horace the post of his private secretary but the poet declined on the plea of ill health. Not withstanding Augustus did not resent his refusal and indeed their relationship became closer. "Horace's success as a poet can be measured partly by how difficult he is to imitate and translate and by how many admirers have sought to do both. Readers in the Middle Ages looked to Horace as a moralist and as a literary critic and appreciated the Satires and Epistles more than the more difficult Odes. The enthusiasm of the Italian Renaissance poets Petrarch 14th century Landinio and Politian late 15th century for the Odes encouraged the popularity of Horace's lyric. Horace was one of Montaigne's 16th century favorite poets. The themes and poetics of both the lyrics and the satires greatly influenced Ben Jonson late 16th early 17th century Robert Herrick Andrew Marvell Milton and Dryden 17th century. The Odescontinued to be springboards for much of both public and private 17th-century English lyrics. Pope was the leading Horatian poet writing in English during the 18th century the Age of Augustanism especially imitating Horace's hexameter poetry while Alfred Lord Tennyson Matthew Arnold Byron and Rudyard Kipling were among Horace's enthusiasts in the 19th century. Horace continued to inspire modern poets among them Ezra Pound. While the different genres of his work have specific qualities they all share in being Horatian a quality that many have tried to define. In Nietzsche's view Horace's peerless artistry separates him from all other poets. Compared to Horace's Odes "All the rest of poetry becomes in contrast something too popular—a mere garrulity of feelings" "What I owe to the ancients" Twilight of the Idols 1 https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/horace .
