1938réf. 140293Beverly Hills CA: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer MGM 1938. Draft script for the 1938 film. Based on the short story "Private Pettigrew's Girl" by Dana Burnet and published in "The Saturday Evening Post" on September 14 1918. Copy belonging to an unknown crew member with holograph pencil annotations throughout. Jimmy Stewart plays an idealistic soldier who convinces a Broadway star Margaret Sullavan to pretend they're dating in order to impress his other soldier friends. Meanwhile Sullivan's manager Walter Pidgeon has always been in love with her and objects to the pair's closeness even as they decide to get married before Stewart is shipped out to France.

1970réf. 146086New York: Pressman Williams 1970. Draft script for the 1973 film. Copy belonging to cinematographer Gregory Sandor with his name in holograph pencil on the verso of the title page and holograph pencil annotations throughout. Danielle is a beautiful model separated from her conjoined twin Dominique. When her neighbor an aspiring journalist suspects Danielle of a brutal murder the horror of Danielle's disturbing past begins to surface. Director Brian De Palma based his original story on a Life magazine article about conjoined twins in the Soviet Republic who had been successfully separated but were experiencing psychological problems as a result of the operation. With its use of visually dense point-of-view and split-screen camera techniques "Sisters" is one of De Palma's earliest forays into erotic voyeurism as a conduit for psychological horror paving the way for a string of idiosyncratic psychosexual projects in the ensuing years such as "Obsession" 1976 "Dressed to Kill" 1980 "Blow Out" 1981 and "Body Double" 1984 among others. Given its focus on the anxiety of the gaze "Sisters" can also be read as an homage to Alfred Hitchcock-openly referencing "Rope" 1948 "Rear Window" 1954 and "Psycho" 1960-and indeed the film was even scored by Bernard Hermann a frequent musical collaborator for Hitchcock's films. Set and shot on location in New York. Maroon titled wrappers.

1809réf. 17298London: William Miller 1809. Hand-coloured aquatint engraving by D. Havell after Henry Salt on wove paper watermark 'J Whatman'. View of the British colonial island St. Helena prior to its becoming Napoleon's last residence Henry Salt artist traveller diplomat and collector of antiquities was born at Lichfield Staffordshire England 14 June 1780. He was destined to be a portrait-painter and on leaving school was taught drawing by Glover the watercolour-painter of Lichfield. In 1797 he went to London and became a pupil of Joseph Farington R.A. and in 1800 of John Hoppner R.A. The turning point in his career was 3 June 1802 when Salt left London for an eastern tour with George viscount Valentia afterwards Lord Mountnorris whom he accompanied as secretary and draughtsman. He visited India Ceylon and in 1805 Abyssinia returning to England on 26 Oct. 1806. He made many drawings some of which served to illustrate Lord Valentia's Voyages and Travels to India published in 1809. The present image is from a work titled Twenty-four Views in St. Helena the Cape India Ceylon the Red Sea Abyssinia and Egypt published by William Miller with hand-coloured aquatints by D. Havell and J. Bluck from Salt's own drawings. The originals of all these drawings were retained by Lord Valentia who also retained the ownership of the copper plates after Salt's death. The format and style of presentation of the plates is similar to Thomas and William Daniell's great work Oriental Scenery 1795-1808 and the artistry displayed by both Salt and his engravers is in many cases more than a match for the Daniell's images.

Salt had previously visited Ethiopia in 1805 as part of Viscount Valentia's entourage visiting Massawa Aksum Adwa and other parts of Tegré. He returned to Ethiopia in 1809 on a government mission to treat with the Ethiopian Emperor Egwale Seyon in Gondar but unrest prevented him from going further than Tegré. Salt instead spent two years recording the geography wildlife and people of the region including his own accomplished drawings and views of his surroundings. He visited the early Christian monastery of Dabra Damo and the pre-Aksumite capital Yeha as well as the towns of Chelaqot Antalo Adwa and Aksum where he recorded a fourth-century stone inscription. On his return he was soon elevated to General Consul of Egypt and would go on to be one of Britain's greatest promoters of Egyptology. Blackmer 1479; Gay 2683; Pankhurst 12.

1860réf. WRCAM55487Salt Lake City: Deseret News Print 1860. xxiiixliv756pp. Modern half morocco and marbled boards spine gilt. Small dampstains to titlepage and gutter of first few leaves; light mostly marginal tideline near top corner of text throughout and in lower corner of last several leaves. Occasional creasing or wrinkling a few occasional pencil marks. Very good. The first edition of the new charter of Salt Lake City passed on January 20 1860 and an uncommon imprint from the press of the Salt Lake City Mormon-owned newspaper the DESERET NEWS. In the two years previous to this new charter the whole of the Mormon community in Utah was recovering from the Utah War which saw an increased United States government influence and presence in the territory. The present work includes a membership list of the Salt Lake City Council lists of city officials four major sections and indexes to those four sections. The first prominent work printed here is the United States Constitution with the twelve Amendments passed up until that time. This work was not printed in the 1859 edition of the 1851-53 Salt Lake city charter but is added here. The second major work is the "Act to Establish a Territorial Government for Utah." This act which provided for the establishment of all aspects of the Utah government and delineated the boundaries of the territory was first published in 1852. The third and most important text printed here is the "Charter of Great Salt Lake City" beginning on page xxix. This is the first edition of the new city charter for Salt Lake City presumably passed in response to the changes wrought by the Utah War. The Charter is comprised of "An Act Incorporating Great Salt Lake City" and is laid out in eighty- eight sections and invests most of the power for regulating the city in the City Council. This differs from the earlier city charter which was comprised of only fifty-three sections most passed in 1851 with five passed in 1853. The penultimate section of the present work section 87 repeals and replaces the earlier charter. The charter sets the boundaries for the city and gives the city the authority to control all manner of issues related to city management and maintenance such as organizing the city setting electoral guidelines for city officials eminent domain business licensing and regulation public cleanliness providing police and fire departments regulations for tobacco and liquor and many others. Section 26 even outlaws "playing at ball" or flying a kite. The fourth and longest section of the work is entitled "Ordinances of Great Salt Lake City" and consists of fifty-eight specific rules regulating elections creating city offices naming the streets dividing the city into wards providing for water defining police duties collecting taxes creating schools governing distribution of liquor regulating city quarantine setting penalties for criminal activity and more. Interestingly Section 3 of the Ordinances prohibits any officer or soldier of the United States Army from holding office or voting in Salt Lake City unless they live in the city; the Mormon population in Salt Lake City seems to have had enough of the American military by 1860. A short Appendix prints six more ordinances passed later in 1860 including one governing the discharge of firearms and another stipulating a $100 fine and six months in jail for operation of a brothel. Revised ordinances for the city would be published in 1875 and amendments would be added to the city charter beginning in 1862 but the latter essentially remained in effect until statehood in 1896. Not in Flake or Draper. OCLC records just twelve institutional copies. A scarce work under-represented in Mormon bibliographical literature. SABIN 75840. OCLC 2872974.
