Maxim Gorky [L A Shiffner, translator, of Mrs R V Gill's Translating Office, Ludgate Circus, London]:Biblio.com

Maxim Gorki Contemporary apparently unpublished typescript translation of 'The Battle of the Waves for Freedom' by Maxim Gorky Gorki. Headed 'Forbidden in Russia'. Made on behalf of Mrs Gill's Translating Office Ludgate Hill London.

ref. 10291Circa 1910. With stamp of 'Mrs. Gill Translating Office Ludgate Hill London EC.'. The story on nine numbered 4to pages with a covering page carrying the title: 'THE BATTLE OF THE WAVES FOR FREEDOM. By Maxim Gorki.' On the rectos of ten 4to leaves attached by a brass pin. Text clear and complete at 26 lines to the page. On worn discoloured paper watermarked 'CONQUEROR LONDON' with loss to extremities. Mrs Gill's purple oblong stamp in bottom left-hand corner of reverse of last leaf: 'Mrs. GILL <.> ATING OFFICE <.> GATE HILL <.> ON EC.' A political parable with the narrator in a 'little sailing boat' told by 'an old weather-beaten tar' how 'the sea does not allow itself to be tied and bound'. First paragraph begins: 'A brilliant sun and a warm air. The sea was sinking into a calm though every now and then it rose again in slow majestic waves.' Certainly dating from before 1915 by which time Mrs Gill's Typing Office had moved from Ludgate Hill to Paternoster Row and probably dating from the period of Gorky's first foreign exile 1906 to 1913. Mrs L. A. Shiffner was active as a translator from Russian in 1904; Mrs Alice Gill did work for Gissing see his Collected Letters. I have yet to trace a published version of this story.

[Mexican Circus - Nineteenth Century] Circo Perez; Compania Acrobatica de Variedades y Grandes NovedadesBiblio.com

Collection of Eleven Photographs Relating to Circo Perez a Travelling Circus in Chihuahua c. 1898 - 1905

1905ref. List01132Chihuahua 1905. Albumen photographs most measuring 4 x 6 and smaller. Photographs faded and with wear some stray marks and scuffs to versos good condition overall. Good. We find scant information about Circo Perez a traveling circus in Chihuahua at the turn of the century. The circus was directed by Praxedis Perez and appeared to be largely a family affair. The present collection includes three overtly circus-related cabinet cards: an outdoor scene of the circus tent with a crowd of spectators looking at the camera the verso bearing the note “Circus Perez Chihuahua 1898”; an advertisement for the troupe Compania Acrobatica de Variedades y Grandes Novedades with a portrait of the director Praxedis Perez; and a cabinet card portrait of a girl in costume. The other photographs appear to be a mix of gifts from grateful patrons and unidentified photographs likely family members. Two photographs relate to a Capitan Manuel Villordo both dated in Chihuahua in 1900 one showing the man on a horseback in military attire the other a gift from a Caciano Perez. Another photograph shows an older woman with two children beside her with the verso identifying her as Prudencia Perez. Overall an evocative if somewhat mysterious group worthy of further research for scholars of Mexican performance. unknown
