Best.-Nr. 22098Near Fine. THE ZERO MOSTEL CONDOLENCE ARCHIVE SEPTEMBER 1977-APRIL 1978 THE DEATH OF TEVYE: THE PRIVATE CONDOLENCE ARCHIVE OF HORIZON PRESS PUBLISHER BEN RAEBURN. A profoundly intimate self-contained manuscript and ephemera archive documenting the immediate shock private grief and permanent institutional legacy following the sudden death of theatrical legend Zero Mostel on September 8 1977. PRESERVED BY A FRIEND. Comprising 10 pieces of correspondence/legal papers plus a memorial program preserved in the private files of Mostel's closest friend and publisher Ben Raeburn of Horizon Press the collection bridges the gap between the post-war New York artistic avant-garde and the formal establishment of Mostel's public memory. A COMMUNITY IN MOURNING. The archive features deeply personal correspondence from photography titan Aaron Siskind poets and publishers Coburn Britton and Stanley Moss philosopher James K. Feibleman intellectual critic Manny Geltman author Morris Lurie and music editor Rose N. Rubin. Crucially the collection includes the private legal files of Mostel's personal attorney Harold Cande mapping out the behind-the-scenes funding and design of the permanent Zero Mostel Study Carrels at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law Library. FROM LOSS TO LEGACY. The archive culminates in the rare unmailed official program for the first-anniversary retrospective at Lincoln Center featuring cover art by Al Hirschfeld. An irreplaceable primary research assemblage documenting the final earthly footprint of a mid-century cultural icon. KEY FEATURES GRIEF FROM PARIS: Original postcard sent from Paris by legendary photographer Aaron Siskind signed 'Aan' dated September 11 1977 balancing professional obligations with heavy personal grief. VOICES OF A CREATIVE CIRCLE: Highly expressive urgent condolence letters from major independent publishing and literary figures including Coburn Britton on 'PROSE' letterhead philosopher James K. Feibleman poet Stanley Moss Australian author Morris Lurie and 'Dissent' editor Manny Geltman. AN INTIMATE VOICE: A rare emotionally raw handwritten note from prominent music editor and folk song authority Rose N. Rubin speaking directly to the internal family dynamic of the estate. FROM PRIVATE LOSS TO PUBLIC MEMORY: Three detailed legal documents from Brooklyn Counselor Harold Cande and Yeshiva University outlining a $10000 memorial library tribute funded in Mostel's honor. THE CULMINATION The official four-page Lincoln Center exhibition invitation from September 1978 complete with Al Hirschfeld's definitive caricature of Mostel as Tevye. SPECS: 11 distinct archival items including 1 postcard 6 letters handwritten and typed 1 legal carbon copy and 1 exhibition program. Sizes vary from standard postcard dimensions to 8.5 x 11 inches. Provenance: Retained intact within the private estate files of Horizon Press founder Ben Raeburn and Pat Pearcy. CONDITION Memorial Announcement: The card block is crisp structurally sound and entirely free of postal cancellations or addresses. Shows light uniform hand-soiling throughout the pale-green cardstock. While typically a detraction within the context of this specific provenance this gentle patination strongly suggests intimate repeated handling by Raeburn in the years following his friend's passing-a moving physical testament to a lifelong association. Letters and Notes: Some were folded for mailing. All remain in fine to near fine condition. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE : THE PRIVATE RECORD - While the public record documents Zero Mostel as a towering mercurial force of the American stage this private archive captures the immediate unvarnished shock of his sudden passing within the elite nucleus of the post-war New York avant-garde. Horizon Press under the visionary direction of publisher Ben Raeburn served as a vital sanctuary for mid-century modernism fostering deep cross-disciplinary alliances between theatrical icons abstract photographers independent poets and political critics. MEMORY BECOMES LEGACY. This collection is far more than a repository of grief; it is a primary document charting how a close-knit artistic community mobilized to transform raw loss into permanent legacy-moving from intimate private condolences to formal legal advocacy and ultimately to public institutional commemoration at Lincoln Center. Preserved intact within Raeburn's estate files it stands as an irreplaceable testament to the profound unspoken bonds that underwrote twentieth-century American cultural history. SCHOLARLY FEATURES PRIVATE VOICES: Offers unedited raw insights into how the post-war Manhattan intellectual crowd experienced a sudden monumental loss. AN INTACT PUBLISHER'S FILE: Represents a cohesive unculled sub-file from an elite independent publisher's estate guaranteeing authentic historical context.

Best.-Nr. 22085Near Fine. HALFWAY AROUND THE WORLD ZERO MOSTEL SAW A FOUNTAIN PEN AND THOUGHT OF BEN RAEBURN. "I SAW A SHOP LOADED WITH FOUNTAIN PENS. I THOUGHT OF YOU." FRIENDSHIP IN A FEW LINES - AN UNGUARDED MOMENT . A warm and highly personal autograph postcard from actor artist and cultural icon Zero Mostel to Horizon Press founder Ben Raeburn. Written while traveling in Kyoto Japan the card provides direct evidence of the friendship between the two men and offers a rare glimpse into the informal personal relationships that existed behind New York's mid-century literary and publishing world. HUMOR ACROSS THE PACIFIC - ZERO BEING ZERO. Unlike formal presentation inscriptions or professional correspondence the postcard captures an unguarded moment of genuine affection. Mostel recounts discovering a shop filled with fountain pens immediately thinking of Raeburn purchasing one for him and joking about spending two hours practicing the Palmer Method before writing. The note closes with greetings to Pearl Raeburn and a characteristically humorous observation regarding a mutual acquaintance in Tokyo. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Original color picture postcard depicting the Hotel Miyako Kyoto Japan. Approximately 5.5 by 3.5 inches. Addressed in Mostel's hand to Ben Raeburn at 150 Fifth Avenue New York City. Japanese postage stamp and postal cancellation present. Signed 'Love from Zero.' TRANSCRIPTION AVAILABLE CONDITION: Minor handling wear and age-related toning. Postal markings clear. Handwriting dark and fully legible. Signed by Zero Mostel. SCARCITY NOTE: Personal not professional correspondence from Zero Mostel is encountered far less frequently than signed books photographs or theatrical material. Association correspondence linking Mostel directly to publisher Ben Raeburn appears particularly uncommon. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE - THE PERSONAL SIDE OF CULTURAL HISTORY MORE THAN A STAGE LEGEND Zero Mostel remains one of the defining performers of twentieth-century American stage and screen remembered for Fiddler on the Roof The Producers and his role as a prominent figure within New York's artistic community. This postcard preserves a personal connection between Mostel and independent publisher Ben Raeburn founder of Horizon Press and a central figure in postwar literary publishing. A FOUNTAIN PEN A FRIEND A MEMORY. The significance of this postcard lies not in its Japanese origin but in the relationship it documents. Mostel's note reads as one friend writing another while abroad with no apparent expectation that the message would ever be preserved. The fountain-pen anecdote is especially revealing demonstrating that Raeburn's interests were sufficiently well known that Mostel immediately associated him with a display of writing instruments encountered halfway around the world. THE HORIZON PRESS CIRCLE . The card also illustrates the social and cultural networks surrounding Horizon Press during its most active years. Raeburn's surviving correspondence frequently reveals connections among writers artists actors publishers and intellectuals; this postcard provides unusually direct evidence of that circle operating on a personal rather than professional level. SIGNED WITH AFFECTION. Particularly appealing is the closing signature 'Love from Zero' which transforms the item from a routine travel postcard into a tangible record of friendship.
