Very good condition with only minor signs of external wear. Jura Soyfer 1912-1939 was born in Kharkov Ukraine. He was eight when he arrived in Vienna after fleeing the Bolshevik revolution with his parents. In 'Red Vienna' Soyfer became a fervent socialist and and was an outspoken writer of the Viennese subculture during the Austrofascist regime 1934-1938. He spent three months in jail for subversive activities. On 13 March 1938 he was arrested as he tried to cross the Austrian border at St. Antonien Joch above Gargellen into Switzerland. He was later transported to Dachau concentration camp. Here Soyfer met the composer Herbert Zipper and together they wrote the famous Dachaulied the Dachau song which cynically took up the Nazi motto Arbeit macht frei "work liberates" written above the entrance to such camps. In the autumn of that year Soyfer was transferred to Buchenwald concentration camp where he died of typhoid fever the day after his release was granted on 16 February 1939. His remains were sent to the United States and are buried at the Hebrew Free Burial Association's Mount Richmond Cemetery.

rif. 228384 March 1847 and 31 January 1848. Both from the Theatre Royal Dublin. Both letters 2pp 12mo. In good condition lightly aged. Cole's handwriting is difficult. The recipient is not named. The first letter 34 lines long concerns a bill which Cole has drawn on the recipient of the letter. It is coming due and he is uncertain whether it is for £90 or £100. He asks him to withhold payment for a while as 'Lent is always a dead time with me'. He is 'going to try the experiment of Mr Butter for 6 nights' and has 'good hopes of the result'. The second letter begins: 'My dear Sir I have made most liberal offers to Farren Mrs. Nesbitt & Mr. Glen as Mr Lee will tell you & with the exception of the old lady none of the parties appear to have the least consideration or wish to accommodate or help a manager who pays them so liberally as you do - It is not I am sorry to say an uncommon case.' The latter part of the letter is not easily read but concludes: 'I sincerely hope the Keans & the Wife's Secret are showing you full houses.' 4 March 1847 and 31 January 1848. Both from the Theatre Royal, Dublin. unknown
rif. 13366Working Men's College Camden London. July 1958. An interesting and scarce item. There are no copies of any issues of this magazine on either OCLC WorldCat or COPAC and there is no record whatsoever of 'Group IV' itself. Now acknowledged as one of Britain's finest landscape painters Keith Grant joined the Working Men's College on finishing his National Service with the RAF; he then enrolled at Willesden Art School before joining the Royal College of Art where he studied under Colin Hayes John Minton and Kenneth Rowntree. 22pp. 4to. With two illustrations on black and white photographic prints stapled to pp.7 and 19: the first being a cartoon captioned 'The Sketch Club Committee meet each other for the first time' and the second a photograph of a young man sketching by a canal'. Mimeographed typed magazine with drophead title on p.2: '"DAUB" GROUP IV'S MAGAZINE July 1958.' In silkscreened wraps printed with attractive abstract design in black light brown and powder blue with title 'THE DAUB.' and price '3d'. The introduction by the unnamed editor states that 'this magazine comes to you largely by courtesy of the Working Men's College the Ministry of Education and the National Union of Sheet Metal Workers although the latter two bodies may not be aware of the fact.' The penultimate paragraph reads: 'Lastly this issue was to have been in the form of a Keith Grant Tribute. It still is but I am glad to say that he won't be going so far away after all.' The concluding paragraph congratulates 'Sidney Knight on his winning of the Lowes Dickinson prize. Working. Men's. College's latest gift to painting will be spending his scholarship money in Paris.' Pp.4-18 carry Grant's 'Some reflections in the Royal College of Art during Diploma Week and a review of the Lowes Dickinson Exhbition'. Grant begins by expressing satisfaction that he is 'part of a year that shows much talent. I wonder if this year will mark English painting as those golden years the Slade School enjoyed with John Spencer Gertler Nash and later Rowntree and many of the other well-known names. Will Plummer Robin Plummer b.1931 Messenger Anthony Messenger 1936-2001 Clairmonte Christopher Clairmonte 1932-2012 Chalk Michael Chalk b.1933 and William Green William Henry Green 1934-2001 be as parallels to the Slade painters of the first decades of this century' His discussion of the Lowes Dickinson Exhibition includes the work of 'Mr. E. H. Bennett a person to whom all in Group IV are indebted for his energy and hard work in organising the Sketch Club and his enthusiasm for the College' and the winner of the Lowes Dickinson Travelling Scholarship Sidney Knight 'Mr. Knight S. A. K.'. The final three pages 20-22 carry the 'Sketch Club Cuttings' consisting of short entries by the editor on eight outings to areas on the Thames. Of 'Chelsea' he writes: 'Lots of people. Another kind of farewell party to Keith. Our youngest painter and member practised his art in a skiff using oars instead of brushes. Round and round the Horses' Mouth - the barge for the film; perhaps hoping for a view of Alec Guiness sic and his lovelies. A most amusing jolly tea and cakes etc. passed up the hatch to the row of members sitting along the roof of a neighbouring boat.' See Image.
