1940Best.-Nr. 239431940. Female companionship and sapphic love photo archive circa 1940s to 1960s documenting affectionate and physically intimate relationships among women during decades when lesbian life in the United States was subject to public hostility legal prosecution and discrimination in employment and public accommodations. The identities and relationships of the women are unrecorded and the photographs do not establish how their subjects understood or named themselves but repeated embraces paired portraits shared beds physical closeness and relaxed domestic and recreational scenes place the group within the visual history of sapphic intimacy and female social life. Its chronology overlaps the Lavender Scare which culminated in President Dwight D. Eisenhower's 1953 Executive Order 10450 and the exclusion of gay men and lesbians from federal employment as well as the emergence of the Daughters of Bilitis in San Francisco in 1955 initially organized as a private lesbian social club and alternative to a frequently raided bar scene. Photo archive of 19 silver gelatin photographs ranging from approximately 1.5 x 1.5 to 3 x 4 inches circa 1940s to 1960s. The photographs consistantly center women in pairs and small groups embracing on park benches reclining against one another outdoors sitting shoulder to shoulder in the grass posing in bathing suits gathering at picnics and swimming areas and relaxing in bedrooms and other private interiors. Several images are unusually intimate for ordinary mid century snapshot photography: two women lie closely entwined beneath a blanket in bed; another pair sit pressed together while smoking cigarettes; women embrace around the waist and shoulders in wooded settings; and one photograph shows two women reclining together on the ground one positioned over the other with her arm around her companion. Elsewhere women pose beside automobiles sit on beds in bathing suits clown for the camera in a bedroom and appear in groups at beaches and outdoor gatherings. Clothing hairstyles photographic papers and changing print formats trace the group across several postwar decades while the recurrence of leisure touch and paired portraiture makes female relationships rather than family ceremony work or public events the archive's principal subject. The photographs belong to a period in which much lesbian social life remained dependent upon private networks even as an organized homophile movement began to emerge publicly. The Daughters of Bilitis founded in 1955 by four lesbian couples began as a private social organization before developing into the first lesbian rights organization in the United States; its magazine The Ladder launched in 1956 and became the first nationally distributed periodical produced for lesbians. Such organization developed amid sustained legal and institutional pressure: beginning in the late 1940s the federal government intensified efforts to remove homosexual employees while police and licensing authorities subjected gay and lesbian gathering places to surveillance and raids. Against that history vernacular photographs of women occupying bedrooms parks swimming areas automobiles and domestic interiors preserve a different register of mid century queer experience one grounded in affection recreation friendship bodily ease and the private circulation of personal images rather than public activism. Light to moderate surface and edge wear occasional creasing and minor staining with some photographs lightly faded or toned. Overall in good condition. A concentrated visual record of female intimacy and joy across the 1940s through 1960s preserving forms of companionship and affection that often left little documentation in the public record. unknown

1810Best.-Nr. PEA-1810-4601810. 1st. SHORT DESCRIPTION Year: 1810Edition: First EditionPublisher: T. Hookham Jun. and E. T. Hookham London; Manners and Miller Edinburgh DESCRIPTION Peacock Thomas Love. The Genius of the Thames: A Lyrical Poem in Two Parts. London: Printed for T. Hookham Jun. and E. T. Hookham No. 15 Old Bond Street; and Manners and Miller Edinburgh 1810. First edition. nAn exceptional association copy of one of Thomas Love Peacock's earliest published works with family provenance connecting the volume directly to the author and his only son Edward Gryffydh Peacock. nThe Genius of the Thames was composed following Peacock's journey along the river in 1809 when he undertook a two-week expedition tracing the Thames from its source towards his home at Chertsey. The poem was published in June 1810 two years before Peacock first met Percy Bysshe Shelley who would become his intimate friend and literary associate. nThis copy is particularly distinguished by its provenance. Accompanying the volume is a manuscript note recording: n n n“Edward Gryffydh Peacock was T.L.P.'s only son born sometime between 1821–26. He joined the Indian Navy in May 1841 but resigned in 1844 and thereafter held various appointments in India House; he died January 1867 having one son Thomas Love Peacock born Jan. 23 1851.” n nThe biographical substance of the note accords with the historical record: Edward Gryffydh Peacock was Thomas Love Peacock's son was born in 1825 entered the Indian Navy in 1841 and subsequently worked at East India House. nThe significance of this copy is therefore its direct Peacock family association: an author's copy subsequently associated with his only son. nElegantly bound in red straight-grain morocco the covers surrounded by an elaborate gilt foliate border the spine gilt in compartments and lettered “Genius of the Thames” and “London 1810.” Decorative gilt turn-ins. nThe binding shows age and wear including loss at the head of the spine and wear along the joints but remains visually striking. nThomas Love Peacock 1785–1866 — author of the work. nEdward Gryffydh Peacock 1825–1867 — Peacock's only son; Indian Navy officer East India Company official publisher and distinguished oarsman. nAccompanied by a manuscript provenance note identifying Edward Gryffydh Peacock as T. L. Peacock's only son and recording details of his career and family. nImportant catalogue qualification: the accompanying note strongly records the Peacock family association but unless there is an inscription in Peacock's hand elsewhere in the volume or documentary evidence accompanying the book I would not describe this as an “author's presentation copy” or say unequivocally that Peacock personally presented it to his son. For ARB “Thomas Love Peacock's copy subsequently associated with his son Edward Gryffydh Peacock” is the safer formulation until the precise chain of provenance is documented. n n n n nCondition nBound in handsome red straight-grain morocco covers elaborately bordered in gilt spine divided into gilt-decorated compartments and lettered in gilt. Binding rubbed and worn with loss at the head of the spine and wear to joints and extremities; some surface loss along the spine. Gilt decoration nevertheless remains strong and attractive. nInternally generally clean and well preserved for a book of this age with occasional spotting toning and minor age-related marking. Accompanied by later manuscript provenance material concerning Edward Gryffydh Peacock. STORY Before Nightmare Abbey before Crotchet Castle and even before his celebrated friendship with Percy Bysshe Shelley Thomas Love Peacock walked the Thames. In May 1809 the young Peacock set out on a two-week expedition following the river from its source towards Chertsey. From that journey emerged The Genius of the Thames published in 1810 — an ambitious lyrical celebration of the river as landscape history mythology and symbol of England. The book therefore belongs to a formative period in Peacock's life. His friendship with Percy Bysshe Shelley did not begin until 1812. The satirical novels for which Peacock became famous were still years away: Headlong Hall appeared in 1816 and Nightmare Abbey in 1818. The Genius of the Thames captures the twenty-four-year-old writer before those defining relationships and works had emerged. But this particular copy carries the story further. Peacock married Jane Gryffydh in 1820. Their only son Edward Gryffydh Peacock was born in 1825. Edward would lead a remarkable life of his own: he entered the Indian Navy later worked at East India House and became an accomplished sportsman winning the Diamond Challenge Sculls at Henley and the Wingfield Sculls. Thus an early book written by Peacock about the Thames became associated with a son who would himself become a celebrated Thames oarsman. That connection is particularly evocative. The father walked the river and made it the subject of one of his earliest books. The son would later race upon it. WHY THIS MATTERS The importance of this copy lies in the combination of edition association and physical presentation. It is the first edition of 1810 published when Peacock was still at the beginning of his literary career. The second edition followed in 1812. More importantly this is an association copy with direct Peacock family provenance linking Thomas Love Peacock with his only son Edward Gryffydh Peacock. Association copies occupy a distinct position in rare-book collecting because they preserve not merely a text but a relationship between a particular physical book and the people connected with its creation. Here that relationship is especially appealing: Peacock's youthful celebration of the Thames preserved within his own family and associated with the son who later became a distinguished competitive oarsman on that same river. The handsome red straight-grain morocco binding adds considerable visual appeal making this both a significant literary association copy and an attractive object in its own right. A particularly desirable copy for collections devoted to Thomas Love Peacock Romantic literature Percy Bysshe Shelley and his circle association copies Thames literature or nineteenth-century literary history.
