réf. 3389Boston: James R. Osgood & Co. 1872. Broadside 24.5” x 19” plus margins; portrait and text in five columns. CONDITION: Torn through upper right the tear affecting the portrait restored backed with Japanese tissue. The first separate printing and first separate facsimile of Lincoln’s famed autobiographical sketch originally composed in response to a request from his friend Jesse Fell printed with a brief account by Fell of the circumstances under which it was written and extracts from a few of Lincoln’s speeches. Lincoln and Fell became acquainted during a session of the Illinois State Legislature in the winter of 1834–35. Lincoln was serving as a representative and Fell as a lobbyist for MacLean County Illinois. The two became political friends and saw much of each other in subsequent years. In 1858 when Lincoln came to prominence as a result of his debates with Stephen Douglas Fell who had recently returned from a trip east where the public was hungry for information about Lincoln approached his friend as he came out of the Bloomington Illinois courthouse one afternoon and asked him for a biographical sketch. Lincoln initially resisted but the following year gave in composing a brief autobiography as well as a letter of explanation both of which he mailed to Fell on December 20th 1859. Delighted that Lincoln had finally complied and eager to promote his cause Fell forwarded Lincoln’s autobiography to his friend Joseph J. Lewis in Pennsylvania who used it for an article that was published in the Chester County Times PA on February 11th 1860. Lewis’s article was reprinted in many newspapers and “became the first widely read biographical sketch of Lincoln and served as a basis for the first three Lincoln campaign biographies in book form” Sage. In 1872 while preparing his biography of Lincoln for publication Ward H. Lamon wrote to Fell asking him to forward Lincoln’s sketch and its accompanying letter to his publisher James R. Osgood & Co. for consultation and facsimile publication. Placing no particular value on the original manuscripts when he first received them Fell had not requested their return but now retrieved them in response to Lamon’s request. He then forwarded the biographical sketch but not Lincoln’s letter of explanation substituting instead his own cover letter. Since Lincoln’s sketch was neither addressed to Fell nor signed Fell included with his letter clippings in Lincoln’s hand reading “Hon. J. W. Fell” and “Yours very truly/A. Lincoln” which were then pasted onto Lincoln’s sketch. Also added was an emblem and statement testifying to the authenticity of the manuscript signed by David Davis Lyman Trumbull and Charles Sumner dated at Washington D.C. March 20th 1872. The facsimile was included in Lamon’s biography and published separately in the form of the broadside offered here. Rare. OCLC records only four copies.

Green cloth with stamped titles in b&w illustrated jacket. 223 pages : illustrations ; 31 cm. Jacques Lipchitz was one of the giants of twentieth-century sculpture. He drew his themes from the mythologies of many lands from the Bible and from personal experiences which his fertile imagination transformed into metaphors for universal human experiences. Love pathos violence death and above all struggle are the subjects of Lipchit'z work from the thirties onward reflecting his eloquent response to the great events of the time: the scourge of Nazism the holocaust of World War II the birth of Israel. Arriving in Paris from his native Lithuania in 1909 Lipchitz at the age of eighteen found himself in the midst of what Gertrude Stein called "the heroic age of Cubism." Within a few years he became not only an accomplished sculptor but the first artist to succeed in translating Cubist principles into three-dimensional form. Lipchitz's innovative Cubist sculptures of 1913-15 alone entitle him to a lasting place in modern art. Yet with indefatigable energy and invention he went on to forge a continually evolving and intensely personal style. From the 1920s on his oeuvre manifests a dual nature improvisational on the one hand and heroic on the other. Like many European artists and intellectuals Lipchitz took refuge in the United States during World War II. The freedom and energy of the New World had a liberating effect on this veteran of the Parisian avant-garde and it was in America during the postwar decades that his mature style reached its final definition. The author Dr A M Hammacher is former director of the Kroller-Muller Museum in the Netherlands. He re-creates the intellectual milieu which the young Lipchitz found in Paris and examines in detail the sculptor's encounters with Cubists Futurists Surrealists Dadaists the Russian avant-garde and the circle of experimental poets whose influence on Lipchitz has hitherto been unappreciated. With discerning scholarship he reveals Lipchitz not only as a prime exponent of modernism but as an artist whose baroque sensibilities link him with the older traditions of Western European art. His close personal friendship with the artist has enabled him to write with deep understanding of the creative procedures of this master of modern sculpture. A biographical outline a list of major exhibitions and a bibliography complement the text. The broad selection of illustrations includes not only all of Lipchitz's major sculptures but also a group of representative drawings and paintings documentary photographs and a number of Cubist sculptures by other artists.
