ref. 16-4373Marseille France: 24 juillet 1941. . TLS with franked envelope approving a visa for André and Lucie Bollack of Cassis.Provenance Estate of Paul Lombard. Né en 1889 Paul Lombard a été rédacteur en chef de la revue L’Homme libre journal de Clémenceau et critique littéraire sous le pseudonyme de Louis Méritan. Paul Lombard est de ces critiques qui comme l’a montré Thierry Laget Proust Prix Goncourt Gallimard 2019 reprochaient à l’Académie Goncourt d’avoir décerné leur prix à un écrivain trop vieux trop riche : "Au lieu de cela cette année le prix Goncourt … échoit à M. Proust qui n’est pas jeune : il a conquis en peu de jours une notoriété dont j’ignore le secret ; le prix Goncourt même s’il l’a mérité ne lui sera d’aucune utilité" déplore-t-il dans L’Homme libre du 11 décembre 1919 p. 2. Probablement aurait-il préféré que Les Croix de bois de Dorgelès remportât de prix d’autant que l'écrivain avait été un collaborateur régulier de L’Homme libre.Expertise by Ségolène Beauchamp 86bis rue de Bellébat 45000 Orléans and Pierre Prévost 75 rue Michel Ange 75016 Paris.

ref. 014631[Fidel Castro] Orestes Ferrara (1876-1972), écrivain cubain d'origine italienne, s'étant battu pour l'indépendance de Cuba, et en devint ambassadeur et député. L.A.S., Hôtel Ritz, Madrid, 7 janvier 1959, 2p in-8. A André Sabatier, directeur littéraire chez Albin-Michel. « Mon cher Mr Sabatier, Les choses de Cuba ne marchent pas bien. Les hommes nouveaux sont pires que les autres. On ne sait pas harmoniser la liberté avec l'ordre. La liberté est un désir de l'âme mais l'ordre est une nécessité de la vie, et surtout de la vie moderne qui a tant de complications et de rouages. Mais dans mon pays, on pense à soi-même et pas aux autres. Je ne sais pas si je resterai à l'Unesco. Je n'y tiens pas. Et si je peux me retirer sans apparaître que je démissionne pour des raisons d'ordre politique, je le ferai avec plaisir. Je n'aimais pas les anciens et je n'aime pas les nouveaux. Mon "Felipe II" est en train d'être copié. J'espère l'avoir dans un mois. Si je viens à Paris plus tard, je vous remettrai une copie avec quelque ami. Miomandre m'a félicité pour la nouvelle année. Je ne lui ai pas répondu par ce qu'il a été très mal élevé lorsqu'il m'a parlé par téléphone. Mes respectueuses salutations à madame Sabatier. A vous mon très amical coup de main. Orestes Ferrara ». Rare lettre de ce révolutionnaire devenu cubain qui critique ici l'arrivée au pouvoir de Fidel Castro et ses alliés. Battista a fui le pays le 31 décembre 1958 et dès le 1er janvier, Castro survole le pays avant d'être nommé le 7 janvier, le jour-même de cette lettre. [354]

1890ref. List3666New York: Jos. W. Stern & Co 1890. Folio sheet music illustrated pictorial cover printed in orange. 5 pp. including cover. Approximately 13 ½ x 10 ½ inches. Covers detached loss to front cover contents complete fair to good. A decorative late nineteenth-century dance publication for “Trocha” described on the cover as “A Cuban Dance” composed by the African American composer and bandleader W. H. Tyers. The elaborate pictorial cover incorporates stylized tropical foliage and island scenery rendered in a bold single-color design typical for the period’s fascination with exoticized musical forms. William H. Tyers 1870–1924 was an African American composer arranger and bandleader active in New York during the ragtime era. Born in Petersburg Virginia to Henry Tyers and Jane “Jennie” Jones both formerly enslaved he spent part of his youth in Richmond before his family relocated to New York City where he began studying piano. His early teachers recognized an aptitude for composition as well as performance and by the mid-1880s he was writing dance pieces including polkas and waltzes. Around the age of twenty Tyers secured employment as a music librarian and arranger with a touring concert company a position that brought him to Europe where he studied orchestration and arranging with Professor Gaspari in Hamburg. Returning to New York Tyers became active in the city’s rapidly expanding popular music trade working as an arranger and composer for publishers including F. A. Mills and Jos. W. Stern & Co. In 1896 he published “Sambo” a syncopated march sometimes considered to be one of the first instrumental rags.1 “Trocha” also released in the 1980s brought Tyers prominence for his ability to write Latin-style rhythms. It was re-issued in 1913 as a tango and its success led Tyers to work as an arranger with Joseph W. Stern in 1897. Tyers’ compositions blended contemporary American dance music with Caribbean and Latin themes a style reflected in pieces such as Trocha and later in his well-known ragtime composition Panama 1911 which remained a staple of early jazz and dance orchestras.
