The book has been designed to provide a resource of information about the developments in British printmaking which started in the middle of the nineteenth century and continued into the middle of the twentieth; it also hopes to provide a point of departure for further study. The text commences with an A-Z of artists considered important or relevant to the period. It continues with essays describing developments in the different media which are followed by illustrative sections laid out chronologically. Scarce with such attributes.

1962ref. 002863Grosset & Dunlap Publishers 1962 64 p. sm. 4to. Publisher's black paper hardcover white stamped title on spine and front board black/white photo illustrated endpapers with text interspersed with black/white plates matte black/white dust jacket. Blue ink gift inscription on the dedication page reads "Mel - Meet me in Las Vegas - your job of a lifetime awaits you dear. Frankie Baby." Measures: .31 W x 7.5 D x 10 H inches. Provenance: Northern California Estate. In 1943 Mel Tormé 1925-1999 made his movie debut in Frank Sinatra's 1915-1998 first film the musical Higher and Higher. Both their stars were on the rise. But once the 1960s hit Tormé's career at least on records started to quickly decline as Sinatra became an uber celebrity. Part of how Sinatra used his celebrity power was by promoting other artists notably Black performers in the 1960s in Las Vegas such as Sammy Davis Jr. 1925-1990 one of his Rat Pack. After Frank Sinatra left his 1950s residency at the Desert Inn he began performing at the Copa Room Sands Hotel in the 1960s. The book's gift inscription suggests a probable reference to Las Vegas residency opportunities such as Mel Tormé's opening act for Rich Little's 1938- residency at the Sands Hotel among others. For instance Sammy Davis Jr. once allowed Mel Tormé to open for his Las Vegas act but he soon discovered that Mel's show was too hard to follow. The audience was totally spent by the time Sammy got on stage. Anyway that was the story told by a Vegas gambler. Wiki Mel Tormé: Best Male Jazz Vocalist Content: An intimate portrait of Sinatra the entertainer Sinatra the millionaire entrepreneur Sinatra the pal - every facet of an enigmatic personality is explored. About the author: Robin Douglas-Home 1932-1968 was a British aristocrat jazz pianist journalist and leading society figure during the 1950s and 1960s. Douglas-Home met Sinatra in London and was struck by how far the public image missed the mark. He and Sinatra hit it off. Sinatra invited him back to the US where he tagged along for two whole months. The outcome is this provocative study an analysis of a latterday phenomenon - the one the only Frank Sinatra.
