IN AND OUT OF ENGLISH

N E W

Our catalogue devoted to Arthur Rimbaud (1st editions and other books dated 1873-2000) also contains some works in English. And our Franz Kafka catalogue is in English, too – you might be interested. Then there is our catalogue 89:

Strange Desires. Attitudes to Alternative Sex in Print 1472-1800. 

Here follows a section of recent acquisitions, and then an extensive alphabet of books in English or having something to do with English.

* This cheerful regaling book explains all kinds of festive techniques especially for decorated cars and party rooms.

By the 1920s it was a large international firm specializing in decorative paper like crêpe until it merged with another Dennison firm in 1990.

€ 65
* This Christmas gift from Arthur W. Rushmore (1883-1955) was destined in handwriting by him for Frank MacGregor. Rushmore was for a long time head of design for the major American publisher Harper Bros., but also had his own margin printing company. He thus fits in the tradition of the great American typographers of the interwar period, Frederic W. Goudy, Bruce Rogers and Daniel Berkeley Updike, who all enjoyed their own private presses.

* This is no. 2 of the 75. First-class private printing by Arthur W. Rushmore (1883-1955), long-time head of design for the major American publishing house Harper Bros. Edna, who took care of the beautiful, extensive typesetting, was his wife. The Golden Hind Press often supplied the marbled paper itself, which in this case is beautifully dotted with gold. Washington (1732-1799) was extensively commemorated two hundred years after his birth. General Lee (1756-1818) was one of his comrades in arms.

In dat jaar organiseerde David een tentoonstelling van Rigby Graham in zijn Binderij Phoenix (affiche ook in deze collectie). Rigby Graham (1931-2015) was een landschapsschilder en -tekenaar met een romantische, dramatische inslag, zijn karakter even hoekig en compromisloos als de landschappen op deze affiches.

Het boek gaat gekleed in een Chinese-stijlhoutsnede naar ontwerp van Van Gulik, van negen verschillende blokken gedrukt. Het is een illustratie van p. 197 in het boek. Op de achterkant een tekst in vijf Chinese karakters die wordt uitgelegd in Van Guliks voorwoord.

Hij werkte van 1900-1914 in Parijs en daarna in New York, waar hij in 1917 aan een blindedarmontsteking overleed. Dit is een album vol leuke meisjes, met achterop een grappige advertentie voor Swan-vulpennen waarin het maken van advertenties wordt uitgelegd, compleet met zetaanwijzingen! Very smart.

24. (KRIMPEN, Jan van) A keepsake presented as a lecture on Jan van Krimpen in the series ‘Heritage of the Graphic Arts’ delivered by John Dreyfus in New York at Gallery 303, 14 October 1965.

€ 60
* One of the very few publications of the Waddling Duck Press, but one of very many by Toni Savage (1929-1994), who started out as an opera singer, but later became the central figure in the feverish margin printing activities in Leicester. Many cute little magazines were produced, poetry broadsides and posters, ‘street literature’ and many funny little books.
Gerry Lockran (1942-1987) was a well-known blues singer and guitarist, until a heart attack left him unable to use his right hand. In his last years he tried to express his creativity in the form of photography and poetry – but another heart attack killed him. This is his only poetry collection, consisting of three moving poems.
Attached is a small edition of the Waddling Duck Press, a poem by Carol Talbot ‘Without Security, where are we?’. Waddling Duck Briefs No. 3, 1983. One-sided sheet of green paper with a poem and a wood engraving of a Great Tit (Parus maior).

€ 95
* De Ornament Broadsheets zijn affiches om aan de muur te hangen in een drukkerij of een andere boekminnaarsruimte. Ze werden ontworpen tussen 1955 en 1958, dit is een complete set. De andere posters zijn Tom Thumb’s Alphabet of Monotype Faces, eigenlijk een letterproef, net als How and Why Type Faces Differ met vergelijking in de breedte van verschillende letters, en twee varianten (plus een duplicaat) van This is a Printing Office – Crossroads of Civilization.

€ 90
* Toni Savage (1929-1994) begon als operazanger, maar werd later de centrale figuur in de koortsachtige margedrukkersactiviteiten in het Britse Leicester en omgeving, die ook veel schattige kleine tijdschriften, vliegende dichtblaadjes en leuke boekjes zoals deze opleverden. De New Broom Press was één van zijn vele imprints.
Tussen deze groep margedrukkers en de Nederlandse Stichting Drukwerk in de Marge bestonden en bestaan meerdere contacten, zo was Hans van Eyk van In de Bonnefant ook als drukker actief in Leicester.

Half leather with marbled boards. VIII, 112 p. 1st edition. Endpapers missing. Somewhat worn and with childish scribbles and the name ‘Anna’. Someone has provided many titles with indications for the emphasis. A bit stained. With the beautiful bookplate by Bob Luza.
€ 25
* A confusing title for Dutch readers: this is not an English translation of the well-beloved children’s poems by Hieronymus van Alphen, but an extensive anthology from Original Poems for Infant Minds (1804), written by ‘Several Young Persons’, among whom the sisters Ann and Jane Taylor. They are sweet, humorous poems, moralistic but not too well-behaved. Gebhard produced all kinds of English textbooks for children. So you will not find a plum tree in this booklet – but there are several plum tarts.

35. (PASSAGE TO AMERICA). OWSTON, Arthur H. Steamship “Dominion” sailing from Liverpool Mar: 29th 1900 to Portland USA. Handwritten account. 20 x 16 cm.

€ 200
* Detailed account of the crossing of the Atlantic Ocean by Mr. Arthur Henry Owston (1879-1958) on the S.S. Dominion, a line that connected Britain with Canada via Ireland and Nova Scotia over Portland to Quebec. Owston, a young American (from California?), had been visiting Britain. He stayed in a first or second class cabin together with someone called Jack and described the third class passengers on two occasions, mentioning a contingent of children in a sort of uniform, as belonging to an institution. These must have been ‘British Home Children’, sent by Barnardo’s or Dr. Stephenson’s orphanages.
Owston describes the alternating between calm and stormy weather on board of the large steamship, where he entertains the people with playing the piano, and walks on the deck and plays football with an improvised ball.

Onder andere een toespraak van dominee Henry Beets (1869-1947), geen familie van Nicolaas Beets, hoewel hij wel met hem gecorrespondeerd heeft. Beets groeide als Hein Beets op in het Nederlandse Koedijk en emigreerde naar Michigan in 1886. Dit is een door Beets zelf geschreven verhaal over wat Nederland en de protestantse Kerk aan het jodendom te danken had.
Johannes Rottenberg (1890-1942) was de enige zoon van de rabbijn van Krakau; hij was protestant geworden en vervolgens missiepredikant, hij trachtte de joden in Nederland tot het protestantse geloof te bekeren. Voor de nazi’s maakte dat natuurlijk weinig uit: hij stierf in Buchenwald. In 1945 verscheen een biografie, Gezonden en teruggeroepen, door A.R. Zalman-Marda, nu op DBNL.

39. SCHENDEL, Arthur van De Grammar School. [Haarlem], De Tuinwijkpers, (1965). Ingenaaid met omslag en titeletiket. (16) p. Met de hand gezet uit de Romanée en gedrukt op Ossekop-papier in een oplage van 40 genummerde exemplaren. 1e druk. Omslag aan de rand iets verbleekt.
€ 150
* Een warme herinnering uit Het Vaderland (1937) aan de tijd (1897) dat Van Schendel onderwijzer was in Engeland, bijzonder fraai op de handpers herdrukt (écht waar!) door Sem Hartz in geringe oplage. Ongenummerd exemplaar.
Inliggend een gedrukte plano: ‘Toelichting. Dit boekje heeft niet díe technische kwaliteiten waar naar werd gestreefd. De jongste van de twee Tuinwijk-compagnons [Cees van Dijk] leerde op de tekst van een groot schrijver, die verder weinig over zichzelf losliet, de eerste beginselen van de zetkunst en het drukken op een handpers. Min of meer vond hij, moeizaam experimenterend, opnieuw de boekdrukkunst uit’.

40. SHERARD, Robert Harborough The White Slaves of England. Being True Pictures of Certain Social Conditions in the Kingdom of England in the year 1897. Illustrated by Harold Piffard. Londen, James Bowden, 1897. Donkergrijs linnen met afbeelding van een vrouw met kind en hamer tegen een achtergrond van rokende fabrieken. 376 p. Veel illustraties in de tekst. 1e druk. Plakkertje op de rug en enkele eigendomsstempels van prof. S.R. Steinmetz, verder een mooi en fris exemplaar.
€ 45
* Belangrijk boek dat de beroerde werkomstandigheden van industriële arbeiders aan de kaak stelt: alkaliwerkers, nagelsmeden, wolkammers en loodwerkers. Sherard was een geëngageerd journalist en de eerste biograaf van Oscar Wilde. Sebald Steinmetz (1862-1940) was hoogleraar aardrijkskunde en volkenkunde in Amsterdam, bovendien stichter van de eerste Volksuniversiteit.

* Een van de piratenpersen uit de omgeving van Leicester, die alleen actief was in 2006 en 2007 en kennelijk geen vaste plek had: alle vijf de prenten vermelden een andere plaats. Drie in en om Leicester, een in Schotland en een ‘deunta inEirinn’, made in Ireland. Het is niet duidelijk wie erachter zat. Wel hebben de vijf allemaal ongeveer hetzelfde formaat, 24 x 20 cm.
Zygodactyl, letterlijk vertaald ‘jukvingerig’, is een term uit de biologie die de stand van klauwen van bepaalde dieren beschrijft: bepaalde vogels, kameleons en luiaards, dieren die in bomen klauteren.

* ‘This volume is dedicated to those who enjoy the sight and feel of good books but have little time for reading them’. Inside is a typed, signed letter to Gerrit Noordzij from the author on paper with the imprint of the paper mill Grosvenor Chater & Company, dated 15 July 1969. ‘I am sorry you do not like the current standard of Basingwerk Parchment. In making this paper, we have to achieve a happy medium and there is no doubt that some of our customers like the very smooth surface.’ He sends the enclosed book, which was recently printed as an advertisement for book paper, of which Basingwerk is one. ‘I hope you will enjoy reading it. It will not take you long’. No doubt, because the book is largely blank!

Cloth with transparent cover. 254 p. Illustrated. Set in Cycles typefaces, designed by Sumner Stone. Printed in 450 copies. 1st edition.
€ 85
* With a beautifully typed and signed letter from the compiler, Jack Stauffacher, to Gerrit Noordzij, dated 28 November 1994. This letter has an exceptionally attractive, hand-set and three-coloured letterhead (by Stauffacher’s margin printer The Greenwood Press) and also an interesting content (25 lines). Among other things, a response to Noordzij’s criticism of the italic Cycles typeface (‘Sumner agrees with you about the italic (too, spiky)’), and thoughts on how Jan Tschichold would view the ‘unlimited’ possibilities of computer typesetting (‘It frightens the timid’).

12. (SANDBERG). CALDER, Alexander Handwritten letter signed (1965) by ‘Sandy’ to ‘Dear Willi’, Willem Sandberg. Written with marker pen on writing paper, one side only. 27 x 21 cm. Dated ‘Saché/ I. et L./ France/ 17 Feb. 65’. 13 lines. Signed ‘Cordially/ Sandy’. Twice folded.
€ 500
* Letter of the great sculptor Alexander Calder (1898-1976), born in the USA but living in the department Indre et Loire (‘I. et L.’) in France, to Willem Sandberg, who at this time had retired from his tenure as director of the Stedelijk Museum. It’s about two of Calder’s sculptures that Sandberg possibly was to ‘have’, though it’s unclear where this ‘have’ would be. The “Guichet” may be destined for the Lincoln Centre, but ‘I might even send you the “Guillotine pour huit” which was in the Guggenheim…’ However, the Guillotine is now in the Musée LaM in Lille.

13. (SANDBERG). LIPCHITZ, Jacques Handwritten letter signed ‘Jacques’ to ‘Chère Jeo’, dated ‘Le 3 mai 1958’. Elegantly written in French with ink on thin paper, recto only. 28 x 21 cm. 28 lines. Folded, two little holes (wear or paper fault), but in very good condition.
€ 650
* Lipchitz (1891-1973) writes to an otherwise unknown woman ‘Jeo’, possibly ‘Geo’, whom he had wanted to write for a long time, but he is ashamed to confess he doesn’t know her last name. He profits from the amiable proposition of ‘notre bon ami, le Dr. Sandberg, qui vous transmettra ce message’. (Transl:) ‘You guess my unrest: since a long time Ruda sends me letters, that seem completely incoherent to me. What has happened with him?’ ‘Humbly I want to ask you for advice. What can I do to make him a bit more happy?’. He also asks her personal address, and ends ‘Croyez moi bien fraternellement votre Jacques’, followed by his own address in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York.
‘Ruda’ is the pet name of Lipchitz’ youngest brother and heir Rubin Lipchitz (1908-1993), who lived in France. The brothers had last seen each other in 1946. Possibly, ‘Geo’ or ‘Jeo’ is Rubin’s girlfriend.
A little note by Sandberg to Jacques Lipchitz in the Smithsonian Archives of American Art, dated September 23, 1958, gives a hint about this letter: Sandberg never had the chance to deliver the letter, because he never met the woman alone… imagine the predicament of world famous museum curator, Jonkheer Willem Sandberg on pins and needles for delivering an intimate letter to someone else’s girlfriend. But probably the matter was solved in another way, which explains the presence of the letter among others adressed to Sandberg, not in a Lipchitz archive.

14. SMITH, Logan Pearsall Handwritten, signed letter to Cuthbert Williamson, dated 6 November 1936. On headed paper ’11, St. Leonard’s Terrace,/ Chelsea’. Folded sheet, one is blank. 35 lines in scribbled handwriting, running down to the bottom right. Envelope with a stamp of King Edward VIII (who would abdicate a month later, less than a year after his accession). Williamson’s address is ‘York House/ Portugal St.’
€ 65
* Williamson had written to Smith in response to his book Reperusals and Recollections – about the botanist James Britten and the gardener Gertrud Jekyll. Smith elaborates on Britten: he was ‘delightful company, but certainly a trying guest’; he ‘put the evil eye on all our flowers when he came to stay with us in Sussex’. Also about the writing ladies couple ‘Michael Field’, friends of his parents, who had confiscated one of the young Logan’s favourite paintings. Smith still resents himself thirty years later for having demanded it back sternly.
Logan Pearsall Smith (1865-1946) was born in America and, in his younger years, a friend of Walt Whitman. He studied in Oxford and remained in England for the rest of his life. He was related to Bertrand Russell, Lytton Strachey, Virginia Woolf, and Bernard Berenson. He was a real language refiner, and his books are still entertaining and worth reading.

The publication comes from the Van Krimpen family; Jan van Krimpen was a member of the Double Crown Club, but it is difficult to say when they acquired it; possibly not in May 1945.

Kearney’s Olympia Press bibliography.

€ 175
* Van Krimpen marked the title of this magazine issue with an accomplished calligraphic scribble: his full name and “pp 9 etseq”, Latin for ‘page 9 and following’, the q ending in a calligraphic curl of the Italian persuasion. Page 9 contains a review by Stanley Morison of The Work of Bruce Rogers. Real calligraphy by Jan van Krimpen is hard to find, so we’re happy to present at least this endearing doodle.

The first seven copies of the edition were to undergo a luxury treatment, as yet unknown at the time the colophon was printed: a half-leather binding, or a special decoration. ‘Seven copies containing an additional print were uffishly altered by the publisher-binder’ – after a citation about the poem’s hero, ‘And, as in uffish thought he stood …’ But due to a lack of time it didn’t work out, and in the end, the seven deluxe copies only were provided with an extra print of the silkscreen. Still: number 1 of an extremely rare Lewis Carroll!

* The republic of San Serriffe, made up of two idyllic islands, was brought to light by a publication in The Guardian in 1977. It was one of the most successful April’s Fool jokes in British history. In the pre-internet era, it wasn’t easy for those who don’t know exactly what Sans Serif means to ‘look something up’. The Republic generated many offspins of all kinds, of which this book is one of the nicest: a proof of a silver coin of 28 grams of .999 silver, executed in 500 numbered copies. 350 of them were captured in this book which is filled with the semi-fictional history of its creation with reference to the Puffin, the coin of the ‘king of Lundy Island’ from 1929. Also with two proofs of notes and a model of a note of 1000 shares in the Bird & Bull Press itself, and a history and bibliography of the Bird & Bull Press. All in all, this book is a monument to pre-Internet fun.

€ 100
* William Watson (1858-1935) was a famous British poet until 1914. He enjoys the gift of a volume of poems by Coleridge ‘enhanced by your autograph & the much too flattering inscription’. ‘I am sure no one deserves a rest more than you’. This was because the barrister Stephen Coleridge, secretary of the National Anti-Vivisection Society (‘N.A.-V. Soc.’ in this letter), had taken it upon himself to prosecute a medical doctor, William Bayliss, because of his cruelty against a ‘brown dog’ who had been dissected alive for a medical experiment, and had to live on for a long time to be studied for vivisection experiments.
Coleridge was a son of John Duke Coleridge, former Lord Chief Justice of England, and great-grandson of the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Some months after this letter was sent, a trial started – so there was to be, alas, not much rest for Coleridge, who in the end was ordered to pay about 5000 pounds to Bayliss for defamation. Watson had tried to involve the Daily News, but this didn’t work out. William Watson was one of many authors who voiced their support against the vivisection and the callous attitude of medical students present.
For the dog a monument in bronze was later erected in a park in Battersea, London.

* The prolific author Edmée Delafield (1890-1943) was the daughter of a Welsh earl and a British writer. This book is summarized in Wikipedia as “Claudia Winsloe, a dynamo of energy, runs London Universal Services and her home with equal tyranny. Pushing herself too hard, she dies in a collision, and the family and business get on fine without her.” But the nice thing about this Czech translation is the excellent condition of the book and the striking modernist cover.

€ 240
* Reusachtig, koffietafelgroot, loodzwaar maar erg grappig boek over de grote hobby van typograaf en letterontwerper William A. Dwiggins (1880-1956): marionetten maken naar het uiterlijk van zijn vrienden en kennissen, en daar voorstellingen mee geven, uiteraard met zelf getekende quasi-antieke programma’s. Dorothy Abbe was jarenlang Dwiggins’ assistente. Zij erfde de poppen van Dwiggins’ vrouw en stelde er dit boek van samen, met de veelal door haar gemaakte foto’s.
In dit exemplaar liggen drie originele foto’s gemaakt door ‘D.A.’, Dorothy Abbe dus, een van 26,0 x 33,0 cm waarop het door Dwiggins speciaal gebouwde theater te zien is. Achterop staan typografische aanwijzingen in pen, en in potlood ‘Dwiggins Studio’, het adres en ‘Photo by D.A.’, mogelijk geschreven door de fotografe. Deze foto is niet gaaf, er zitten enkele kreukjes in en de onderhoeken zijn omgevouwen.
De tweede foto (17,0 x 12,5 cm) is gaaf en vertoont een geheel ontklede marionet, met achterop ‘photo by D.A.’.
De derde foto (25,0 x 13,0 cm) is leuk, en in heel redelijke staat, en vertoont William Dwiggins met de door hem gemaakte marionet van zichzelf op zijn knie. Achterop staat in potlood ‘Photo by D.A./ c. 1939’ plus typografische aanwijzingen in balpen. Er is een geel plakkertje op de achterkant aangebracht met in het handschrift van Will van Krimpen ‘Herinnering aan veel clams en whisky sours met Dorothy 1968′! Kennelijk zijn de foto’s gebruikt in een tijdschriftartikel, maar dat kon ik niet achterhalen.
Ook met een (lege) gepostzegelde envelop geadresseerd aan ‘Mr + Mrs Huib van Krimpen’ met achterop het gedrukte adres ’45 Irving Street/ Hingham’ van het theater annex studio van Dwiggins.

* * Holbrook Jackson (1874-1948) was a journalist and a great bibliophile, who wrote many books about books. This letter probably concerns his ‘The Reading of Books’, published in 1946, which contains a few errors that ‘Dan’ or Daniel let him know and this funny letter thanks him for that. ‘I have felt like a managery-lion in a den of forest-based Daniels (it ought to be geoffries!) each with the aspect of a reviewer of book licking his chops at the chance of a short-list to discomfort an already deflated author.’ Fortunately, a second edition with improvements was published in 1947.
Jackson praises Daniel for ‘your broadcast on American Books’, which is better than the others heard on ‘the Third Programme’ up to that point. This BBC culture channel had only been on air since September 29, 1946 – so sleuths can try to find Daniel’s surname. Jackson’s handwriting is beautiful but does not reveal itself easily – sleuths who like puzzling and deciphering can enjoy this letter.

* Maarten Maartens is the pseudonym of J. van der Poorten Schwartz (1858-1915), a Dutch author who wrote in English.
Extensive letter to a ‘Dear Sir’ in Pittsburgh who had given a lecture and invited him for a stay. Maartens writes he is ‘just back from the Aberdeen festivities, where I met Mr. Carnegie who renewed his invitation to my daughter’. He would like to come, but because of his bad health is reluctant to take a fast boat to the USA. ‘I am a disgraceful sailor, but America is worth even that – can any man say more?’ He wonders if he can take his 18-year old daughter along. Very friendly letter by a bit of a pedant who flaunts the name of his famous friends Andrew Carnegie and Admiral F.E. Chadwick and asks the benevolence of the gods in Latin (‘Dii, favete!’) while pondering a tour through Northern America. Not in The Letters of Maarten Maartens.

230. MAARTENS, Maarten Autograph Letter Signed to publisher Funk & Wagnalls in London, dated ’11-11-’13 (De Zonheuvel, Doorn) Holland’.

Pin holes where a visiting card may have been pinned to the letter.
€ 85
* The letter exhibits amazement of a book that was sent by publisher Funk & Wagnalls to Josua van der Poorten Schwartz (1858-1915), better known as novelist Maarten Maartens: ‘On my return, this day, from a prolonged absence abroad, I find the book you have kindly sent me. I stand before it, spellbound, as I once stood before the Great Pyramid’. This is probably about the first edition of Funk & Wagnalls Standard Encyclopedia. There are more quaintly reverent sentences in the letter: ‘Your book looks a large one. But the moment we realize in it the Liebig of men’s intellect since Adam, how compactly reasonable in size it appears!’ No wonder the clerk at Funk & Wagnalls wrote in pencil: ‘Please make 3 copies for Prof Hopkins’, possibly to use citations for advertising. Not in The Letters of Maarten Maartens.

Hij was zeer welgesteld en bewoonde het kasteelachtige landhuis Zonheuvel bij Doorn, dat hij zelf had laten bouwen.

*C.E. Montague (1867-1928) was editor of the progressive newspaper the (Manchester) Guardian. Although an opponent of the First World War, he reported for active duty, and in order to be accepted despite his already 47 years of age, he dyed his hair black. ‘Montague is the only man I know whose white hair in a single night turned dark through courage’, wrote a contemporary. Later he wrote mainly about and against war: ‘War hath no fury like a non-combatant’ is a well-known statement. In his last years he wrote science fiction and short stories, and this letter is probably about submitting a story for the well-known book series The Ghost Book, which was edited by Lady Cynthia Asquith, daughter-in-law of the British Prime Minister (1908-1916). Montague writes in detail that he will not succeed – he will soon publish a collection of stories himself. This was the book Action, his swan song.

* These five books are the result of a huge project of the British poet John Payne (1842-1916) to translate representative French poems in isometric poetry: rhyming and in the same meter as the original. He planned eight volumes that would span poetry from the 12th to the early 20th century. But the Great War, and then his death in 1916, threw a spanner in the works, and only five volumes were published – these five. They were printed by Brill in Leyden in 750 copies, 75 of which were numbered deluxe copies on large paper. This is a luxury set, all with the same number: Nr. 38. The price per deluxe volume was no less than two guineas, or 16 grams of gold.
Mauclair, Catulle Mendès (with 16 poems!), Merrill, Montesquiou, Nerval, Rodenbach, Verhaeren, Verlaine, to name just a few of the many dozens French-language poets translated into English. Not attractive on the outside, but a grandiose enterprise.

286. (PERRON, E. du). WILSON, Harriette Harriette Wilson’s Memoirs of Herself and Others. (Met een handgeschreven opdracht van E. du Perron aan Everard Bouws). Londen, Peter Davies, 1929. Linnen. xvi, 672 p. Met kleurig frontispice. Herdruk naar de eerste uitgave van 1825. Voorwoord van James Laver. Band niet helemaal fris. Naampje van een vorige eigenaar op schutblad en titelpagina.
€ 175
* Op de binnenkant van het voorplat staat een handgeschreven opdracht van E. du Perron aan Everard Bouws: ‘To our dear Bows,/ who will love this here female/ for her refined dress-and-manners. / EdP./ To say nothing of her wit & temperament.’ Het omvangrijke boek is de autobiografie van een Engelse courtisane (1786-1845).
E. du Perron schonk dit boek aan zijn vriend Everard Bouws, vermoedelijk begin 1931. Hij refereert eenmaal aan haar in een brief aan Bouws van 17 januari 1931, waarin het gaat over relaties met vrouwen, meer bepaald die van vrienden. Eddy raadt Everardus niet met Darja Collin te beginnen (zoals Slauerhoff wel met Clara Eggink lijkt te hebben aangepapt).
Elizabeth de Roos, is dat niet een idee? ‘Inspireer je op Harriette Wilson (…). Wees Pygmalion en maak van Bep de Roos the Twentieth-Century’s Genuine and Unimitable Dutch Galathea! Of van een ander, maar please respect het kleine plekje grond, waar Slau zijn piratenvlag heeft geplant…’
Curieus, want een jaar later zou Du Perron zelf met Elizabeth de Roos trouwen. Dat maakt dit boek tot een interessant perronistisch monument!

€ 75
* A woman loses both her suitor and her beloved to that addictive and miserable invention, the telephone… Very early humorous phone story: remarkably enough, none of the 40 advertisers in this London Magazine of 1896 could boast a telephone (however, one advertised that other modernist invention, a type writer). A fascinating in-between moment of telephone history!

The drawing probably dates from a little after this.

NB. De lijst kan alleen worden afgehaald en in bepaalde gevallen ook gebracht.

* Mrs Parry (from Tunbridge Wells) had written a kind letter about his recent book, Edward and Rosina, about Edward Bulwer-Lytton and his wife Rosina Doyle Wheeler, also a novelist. Sadleir mentions her first book, Cheveley, ‘It is of course a savage caricature of her husband an his relations, and was the first heavy shell in the prolonged bombardment of Edward’s peace of mind which was conducted almost up to the day of his death.’ He doesn’t think highly of her talents as a writer.
Sadleir doubts he ever will get to a further stage of Bulwer’s life, because ‘so few people want to know about him’. Edward and Rosina had a disappointing circulation.

* Iconische Nederlandse geschiedenis in Engeland, gedrukt voor het eerste staatsbezoek aan Engeland van koningin Juliana en prins Bernhard. Ons Vorstenpaar zou op 21 november 1950 zijn opwachting maken bij de Britse koning George VI op Victoria Station, omzoomd met Coldstream Guards, de Honourable Artillery Guard en detachementen van de Royal Army, Navy en R.A.F. Reken maar dat de Koninklijke Stoet het openbaar vervoer in Londen flink in de war zou brengen, of misschien wilde het publiek wel massaal vlaggetjeszwaaiend langs de straat plaatsnemen – vandaar dat dit affiche werd gedrukt, een wonder van heldere typografie, afkomstig uit de collectie van Huib van Krimpen.
Het minuscule nummertje ‘1050-2391D-350’ onderaan het affiche geeft wellicht de datum van de druk weer (1050 = oktober ’50), het serienummer en de oplage: 350. Hoeveel zouden er daarvan bewaard zijn gebleven resp. in Nederland zijn beland?

Letter by George Sutherland-Leveson-Gower, 3rd Duke of Sutherland (1828-1892) to ‘My dear M’. 4 p. With a letter by Charles Longuet Higgins (1806-1885) to ‘My dear Lady’ pinned to the first leaf. Some spots and traces of glue (for an album), some creasing.
€ 200
* Extensive letter (59 lines) written fast and not very clearly about the possibilities of meeting, traveling between ‘L. Never’ or ‘Inver’ and (castle) Dunrobin, and various commitments (‘The Ds. [Duchess] must be again here – for the Poultry show on the 27th’). In the attached letter, dated ‘May 23rd 1881’, Charles Longuet Higgins (a wealthy landowner from Bedford near London, 1806-1885) offers ‘St. Anne’s Society polling paper’ to ‘My dear Lady’. This possibly concerns the Royal Asylum of St. Anne’s Society, a large London children’s asylum, funded by rich Britons.
The letters come with two rather creased and damaged, contemporary original photos, one of the Duke of Sutherland in a cap holding a large piece of game, a dog at his side; the other shows a coach with four passengers, two personnel and two draft animals. From the letter collection of John Arlott. And with a carte-de-visite portrait photo (in very good condition) of long-bearded George Sutherland-Leveson-Gower when in his fourties, made by W. & D. Downey in Newcastle on Tyne.
The Third Duke of Sutherland, who was an extremely rich landowner, lived separated of his wife for many years and had a mistress, Mary Caroline Blair (1848-1912), the wife of his agent Captain Arthur Blair. This letter to ‘My dear M!’ could well be addressed to Mary Blair and occupied with finding a window to meet each other between appointments and obligations. Arthur Blair was to die mysteriously in a shooting accident on October 3, 1883, thought to be a suicide (or worse) – only 18 days after this letter. Sutherland married Mary Blair four months after his wife’s death in 1888. After his passing and after some testament hitches, she became an immensely rich widow with a yearly income of a hundred thousand pounds.
