He also wrote for magazines in his spare time, including the Civil War short story mentioned in this letter - “The Comedy of War”, which appeared in the very first issue of the new McClure’s Magazine in June 1893, with 10 uncredited illustrations.

No. 811 of 750 copies printed on handmade paper, from a total run of 1000 copies. First Edition, First Printing. Paris: Shakespeare and Company, 1922 A handsome copy of the greatest work of literature of the twentieth century. “Ulysses” can be viewed as the pinnacle of the Modernist movement, and its impact on all subsequent western literature is unmistakable. Such writers as Virginia Woolf, John Dos Passos, William Faulkner, Samuel Beckett, Malcolm Lowry, and Anthony Burgess have all paid tribute to Joyce’s influence. According to James Spoerri, “This fortunate combination of printer [Maurice Darantiére and publisher [Sylvia Beach] resulted in the appearance of ‘Ulysses’ as a book whose physical aspect is particularly suited to its content. It is a fair and inviting volume, the blue and white of its covers subtly evocative of the Greece whose epic it so closely parallels.” Slocum & Cahoon A17. Some very faint (all but indiscernible) fox spots to binding; pages lightly browned at edges (as usual), slight finger-soiling to half-title; near fine to fine. (10000/15000) Lot 195

Page 36 LETTERS FROM CHARMIAN LONDON 215. London, Charmian. Collection of six Typed Letters Signed, one Autograph Letter Signed, one Autograph Postcard Signed, and one Typed Postcard, from Charmian London to Janet Winship [Pitts]. From a half-page to six pages, the letters all with their original envelopes. Various places: 1915-1939 Interesting little archive of correspondence from Charmian London to Jane Winship, the daughter of old friends Ed and Ida Winship (Jack met Ed while covering the Russo-Japanese War). The first letter, handwritten, dated Dec. 12, 1915, is about the relatively new wonder drug aspirin, “I ordered a lot of your capsules, instead of your mother’s tablets, because I like capsules, and the one I took when you were here seemed to do the work. But when I took one of the new ones the other day, it made me terribly ill, and for two days I had the most fearful heartburn…” The most significant letter, though, was on November 28, 1816, days after Jack’s death, “…Only one thing you are wrong in, little girl --- the days are NOT without happiness. Somehow, Jack seems to be in my brain --- just to GO ON, to WORK, to BE BIG. And I am not unhappy. Desolate --- indeed… but not unhappy…” The longest letter is the last one, November 1, 1931 (followed by the 1939 typed postcard), which offers insight in Charmian’s life after Jack: “…I haven’t been over to see your mother, either. Life is so terribly full especially to a poor widow with an immense estate. But I won’t go into it! Keeps on busy, and, if not worried, at least a trifle more than alert!... Your friend sounds most awfully interesting. I should like very much to meet him. I wish he wanted a full set of Jack’s fifty first-editions! (looks like 51st editions!) I started collecting such sets some years ago, and have put a lot of time into them. Now, when some of the items have run into the $40.00 apiece “rare” and “high spot” and the like, of course a set is worth thousands. I have had nibbles of course, a number of times… When I sold the original MSS to the Huntington Library, I paid off Jack’s last big mortgage. And I certainly could make use of funds at this time. However. The only original MSS I have left are small things – notes that are valuable as being his first jottings of ideas for certain novels. But there is the Cloudesley Johns correspondence, sitting in safe deposit in a S.F. Bank, waiting for a good price…” Very good or better condition. (800/1200)

216. London, Charmian. Three Typed Letters Signed, two Autograph Letters Signed, and an inscribed flyeaf from a book, all by Charmian London. Includes: Jan. 17, 1917. T.L.S. addressed to Doctor (likely Jack London’s personal physician, W.S. Porter), “A letter of yours to Jack and me, lies on his deck, dated October 19, 1916. To it the inclosed handwritten note is penned by him. Perhaps you’d like to keep it as a souvenir. Probably it was his last handwritten message concerning you…” * June 3, 1919. T.L.S. to Edith, “I did receive your dear letter, and the copy of what was read at blessed Claire’s services… I have suffered terribly from neuritis since I had influenza, and am now off for a vacation, going by steamer to San Diego… Am then coming home and TRY to finish my book…” * Nov. 21, 1919. At sea aboard the S.S. Maui, bound for Hawaii. A.L.S. addressed to Edith. “It was so sudden my sailing on the Maui… Missed all my engagements, and almost the steamer… But, Edith, it’s going to be some wrench at first, docking at Honolulu. What a lot has happened since… Clair, Jack, and so many friends are absent on the mainland too. There Edition, Oahu is on the starboard bow…” * Aug. 3, 1921. T.L.S. to Mr. Creamer. “Inclosed… is an old canceled check signed by my husband. I hope it will please you. Naturally, I have no other autographs of his, except upon personal letters to myself…” * Nov. 7, 1928. A.L.S., to a Mr. P. Bosman. “The wide world demand for J.L. photos finally got beyond me. So this small, but very good one, is all I have now…” Accompanied by the photograph, and the original envelope. * The flyleaf is inscribed, “Dear Julia Martin: This book seems more my book, my story. Anyway, it’s a love-story, out of heart and head. Charmian London. The Valley of the Moon, 1922. Accompanied by a sepia tone photograph of Charmian, on the back is ink notation “Genthe Photo.” Together, 6 items. Various places: 1917-1928 Glimpse at the life and cares of Charmian London in the years after husband Jack’s death. Generally very good or better. (400/600)

Page 37 FOUR LETTERS FROM JACK LONDON TO HIS FUTURE BRIDE 217. London, Jack. Autograph Letter from Jack London, to his future wife Charmian Kittredge. 10 pages, in ink. 28x21.5 cm. (11x8½”), held together with a straight pin. No place: Aug 23/03 Long letter from Jack London to his future wife Charmian Kittredge, discussing their burgeoning relationship (they had been together a little over two months), mutual friends and acquaintances, Jack’s wife Bessie, and more. Jack begins the letter expressing both joy and anguish, with “the knowledge that I could see you with the gang to-day, and the less pleasant knowledge that I must sit here & drudge the livelong day.” He then requests that Charmian “please read the Colfus letter in your most psychological mood…” He then switches to discussing Bessie, “Poor B! She has no conception of loyalty whatever! Nor of fair play. Unfeminine in many things, she does not counterbalance by being masculine in some of the good masculine qualities. Fresh from telling Aunt Villa (and everybody else, I suppose) things which she should not tell anyone, and things which she could not tell fairly as they really are – fresh from all this, & from telling her brother Will, she comes to me begging me not to tell him certain things about herself. As though I would have told!... I am glad you know so thoroughly why I go to see her so often, and to kiss her so lingeringly and passionately. Dear little Joan! And dear Charmian for your good-woman’s heart!...” He then turns his attention to Charmian, “Ah, dear heart, my love for woman does begin with you and will end with you. Lot 217 The other women— ‘Wife, they was only women,’ No one of all of them was my woman. I do not know how much you understand the man side of such things, but I think you understand it well, as well as any woman can. And still, you cannot understand it all. Man can pursue his lusts, without love, simply because he is so made...” After much more in this vein and others, he concludes the letter, “I was willing to give more because I wanted more, I willingly gave, until I said, ‘I love you, Charmian, and I want you for my wife.” The bottom one inch of the final page is clipped off. Perhaps Jack unwittingly signed the letter, then thought better of it. The two were still hiding their relationship since Jack was still married to Bess, though Jack’s mention of Charmian’s name was fraught with danger. Near fine. (3000/5000)

218. London, Jack. Autograph Letter from Jack London, to his future wife Charmian Kittredge. 3 pages, in ink. 28x21.5 cm. (11x8½”), held together with a straight pin. No place: Aug 27/03 Early love letter from Jack London to his future wife Charmian Kittredge, written a little more than two months after their relationship began. Jack writes of steeling himself against seeing her, “But no, I refuse to steel myself longer. I shall be at Jack’s, just a wee bit before one, waiting for you on the stairs. I cannot let a whole week go by without seeing you. I simply must see you…” Jack writes of his amazement at his love for Charmian, “for you are only Charmian, just the girl who used to ride out to the Bungalow once in a while & with whom I romped occasionally, just a very human and comradely sort of a girl, just you, just an ole friend, you know. That’s what makes it so hard to grasp, I guess, this falling in love with one’s friend. ..” The letter is unsigned, as the two were still hiding their relationship since Jack was still married to Bess, though Jack’s mention of Charmian’s name flirted with danger. Near fine. (1500/2500)

Page 38 219. London, Jack. Autograph Letter from Jack London, to his future wife Charmian Kittredge. 4 pages, in ink. 15x23.5 cm. (6x9¼”), held together with a straight pin. No place: Sept. 23/03 Jack is “not a bit happy this morning” after receiving news from Charmian of an impending trip to Iowa to see her relatives, though he reveals that “early next year I expect to make a run to New York to see my publishers.” He also discusses his experimenting with poetry, and gives a few examples of some dreadful verse, “When he came in/ I was out/ To borrow some tin/ was why he came in…” and remarks that “The ones you have seen are quite similar to the first pages of a child’s copybook…” The letter is unsigned, as the two were still hiding their relationship since Jack was still married to Bess. Near fine. (1000/1500)

220. London, Jack. Autograph Letter from Jack London, to his future wife Charmian Kittredge. 3 pages, in ink. 15x23.5 cm. (6x9¼”), held together with a straight pin. Near Alviso: Dec. 18/03 Jack London is cruising the South Bay with Cloudsley Johns, writing, sailing, hunting, but his mind is never far from Charmian, “ I wonder if you can imagine me, in the course of the day, knocking off from my writing to think of you – not accidentally knocking off, but deliberately looking at the clock & giving myself ten minutes in which to think of you and be happy… It looks like another southeaster is tryint go blow. Went out today, sailing in the skiff. I did sailing, Cloudsley did the shooting. We got two ducks, & then the mast carried away – it was blowing briskly – and we came home. I shall certainly pull away from here for Redwood City in a couple of days. And then it will be time to start for Oakland…” The letter is unsigned, as the two were still hiding their relationship since Jack was still married to Bess. A little edge wear, very good or better. (1000/1500)

LETTER OF SUPPORT FROM JACK LONDON TO A BUDDING AUTHOR AND POET 221. London, Jack. Typed Letter Signed by Jack London, to Margaret Smith Cobb. 16 lines, on plain sheet of typing paper with London’s rubberstamp in upper left corner; signed Jack London, with 2 ink ms. corrections by him. Glen Ellen: April 15, 1913 Jack London writes to budding poet and writer (and sometime artist) Margaret Smith Cobb, about helping her to market a poem: “I am going to try to market your poem THE UNKISSED for you. Please let me take a little time in the matter. To tell the truth, I do not like the title UNKISSED, and to save my life I cannot work out a better one... I shall forward to you a letter I received the other day from George Sterling, in which he says your poem is ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS except in one particular --- just a word or phrase. Charmian has already told you, I imagine, what I think of your poem. It is one of the great poems... At the present moment I am tied up with one-quarter of a million words of proofsheets which I must get through, so I am holding back the reading of your novel...” London’s efforts to assist Ms. Cobb were successful, and the poem was sold to Century Magazine for $40 (See Kingman, Jack London: A Definitive Chronology, p.163). Accompanied by the original envelope. Also accompanies by two unused real photo postcards of Jack London, one on horseback leading a Clydsdale, the other of him standing in front of a tree in Glen Ellen. Envelope chipped, roughly opened; letter with ¼x½” hole in center, affecting a few letters, else very good. (1000/1500)

RARE LETTERS AND MANUSCRIPTS ON AMERICAN ART, 1828 TO 1939 450. (American Art, 1828-31) [Eddy, James] Kinsley, Elizabeth P. Four Autograph Letters, signed, to engraver James Eddy from his sister. 4 Autograph Letters, signed. 11 pages total. Pawtucket, RI: 1828-1831 To her brother, James Eddy, in Boston, discussing his unhappy romances (promising to find him “a girl worth having”); his “low spirits” and loneliness away from home, and mentioning his first attempt at painting: “I should like much to see your portrait, you had better bring it up and leave it with me until you are married.” These letters offer unknown information about the early life of the first successful American importer of European art. When he received these letters, James Eddy (1806-1888) was still a lonely, unmarried young apprentice in Boston, employed as engraver by the firm of W. & J. Pendleton, which produced the finest examples of early American lithography. Eddy soon moved to New York to begin painting in earnest (an alleged 1830s portrait of Edgar Allan Poe, now considered spurious, was once attributed to him) but instead, hit upon the idea of importing European paintings for the New England art market. This enterprise brought him wealth – and, at age 39, a wife. He married a Boston widow with two small children, one of whom would grow up to join in John Brown’s raid on Harper’s Ferry. On retirement, Eddy moved back to Providence and built a mansion large enough to house his personal Museum of Art. Creased, some wear; very good. (100/150) Page 77 451. (American Art, 1829) Vinton, John R. Autograph Letter, signed, by this artist of the Florida Indians in the Seminole War. Autograph Letter, signed. 4 pages including integral stampless address leaf. Brownville, NY: July 18, 1829 Long letter (transcript available on request) to his mother, describing his journey with his brothers, by stage, steamship and canal boat, from their home in Pomfret, Connecticut to West Point (where brother Francis was then a Cadet), then on to Albany, Schenectady, Utica, Brownville and Lake Ontario, praising the “picturesque beauty” of the “fine lands” they saw en route. Of the three Vinton brothers, all early graduates of the US Military Academy, John Rogers Vinton (1801-1847) who entered West Point when only 14, was the most colorful. Well-versed in Greek, Latin and Hebrew and well-read in theology and physics, his private journal, now held by the University of Delaware, reflected his catholic interest in politics, theater – and painting. After assignment, as a skillful artist, to topographical duties, Vinton was posted to Florida during the Second Seminole War. In 1837, on orders from his commanding officer, Vinton took prisoner the Seminole Chief Osceola when he arrived for what he thought would be truce negotiations. Notwithstanding these “deceitful” circumstances – which caused a national uproar - Vinton’s original sketch of his prisoner is now treasured by the National Museum of the American Indian, as he was the first of many artists, including George Catlin, to draw the celebrated Chief. Vinton was only able to paint a few other portraits and landscapes in his spare time before he was killed in action during the Mexican-American War. Creased from mailing, light foxing; fine.

452. (American Art, 1850) Greenough, Louise I. Autograph Letter, signed, from the wife of famed American sculptor Horatio Greenough. Autograph Letter, signed. 2 pages. Florence, Italy: May 8, 1850 To Mrs. Henrietta W. Brand. “…this little copy of a Raffaello… a very slight token of my gratitude for your kindness in resigning to me my dear mother’s Portrait. The picture I send you…is a very faithful copy of its great original the ‘Madonna Del Gran Duca’ – so called from its always remaining in the Grand Duke’s private apartments. It is considered rather a favor to be allowed to copy it and therefore is not so universally seen with us as the ‘Madonna Della Seggiola’…I hoped to have had the pleasure of presenting this little souvenir in person, but… my return to America is now indefinitely postponed…”. Louisa Ingersoll Gore Greenough (1812-1892) is barely remembered as wife of America’s first internationally-famed sculptor, Horatio Greenough, whose statues of Washington and other founding fathers still stand in the US Capitol. The grand-niece of a former Governor of Massachusetts, she accompanied her wealthy young husband when he expatriated to Italy, where he remained for 20 years, until he returned in 1852 to suffer a nervous breakdown and die in a Mental Hospital. She then lived in Cambridge for a time, her home becoming a salon “for the great intellectuals of New England”, including her close friend, the poet Longfellow. But she again sailed for Europe before the Civil War and died in Paris in 1891. This letter is a rare reference to her own artistic interests. Attached stub from prior album mounting, identification notes at head of first page in a different hand; near fine. (100/150)

453. (American Art, 1850) Quarles, Ann E. Autograph Letter, signed, concerning her sister Susannah Quarles Nicholson. Autograph Letter, signed. 2 pages + stampless address leaf. Amherst Court House, Virginia: August 23, 1850 To Jacob C. Nicholson, Baltimore. Concerning his wife –“my dear Unhappy Sister”– Susan, who had apparently left her husband, taking along their two youngest children. Plaintive words about an eccentric sister: “…truly distressed… dreadful situation … your great and sore troubles and trials…her imprudent deportment… wishes and desires…she was advised to go home and let those people alone, that were trying to break the peace of her family for their amusement, and make herself and family happy and let her children go to school and be well educated…and attend to her domestic duties…loving her home and family and living in peace…try and bear with her longer… she will be glad to go home after a while, it is all done to vex you, …that you may bring reproach on your character and standing…don’t take any public steps towards her yet, I think things will be better…this is for your special information, soon as you read it burn it, let Page 78 none of the children, nor anyone see it…” (Full transcript on request). Though distinguished Museum Curator William R. Sargent wrote a youthful unpublished thesis about the early self- taught American woman artist, Susannah Fauntleroy Quarles Nicholson (1804-1858), her work is noted only in a 1984 Maryland exhibition catalogue, where she is described as “a member of a prominent aristocratic... wealthy and illustrious Virginia family...best known for her family portraits”. Her apparently colorful life was kept a close secret by her siblings and children (one of whom became a US Congressman), beginning with a first “imprudent” teenage marriage to a poor Italian immigrant music teacher. Her second husband, Jacob Cannon Nicholson, was a fellow portrait painter, but despite that shared passion, this letter suggests that their story has yet to be chronicled. Creased from mailing, fine. (300/500)

454. (American Art, 1850) Bayne, Walter. Autograph Letter, signed, from a painter of “Moving Panoramas”. Autograph Letter, signed. 1 page + integral stampless address leaf. New York: March 29, 1850 To G.V. Bacon, Treasurer, Pennsylvania Rail Road, Philadelphia, concerning shares he held in the Railroad. British-born Walter McPherson Bayne (1795-1859) immigrated to America around 1837, settled in Boston, and eventually made his fortune as a painter of gigantic “moving panoramas”. These immensely popular precursors of cinema were gigantic connected paintings of scenery – rural and urban, on land and sea – installed on huge spools, hidden behind a viewing screen, allowing them to be unrolled for spectators, giving the illusion of “moving pictures”, while the artist lectured on the scenes displayed. In 1847, Bayne unveiled his “Voyage to Europe”, three years in the making, advertised as the largest panorama ever presented to the public. So immense that it was divided into four sections (Boston to Liverpool; London; and the two banks of the Rhine), the panorama was reportedly viewed by over a quarter of a million spectators during nine years of display in Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, St. Louis, and, of course, New York, where Bayne was staying when he wrote this letter. Creased from mailing, fine. (150/250)

455. (American Art, 1854) Thompson, Cephas Giovanni. Autograph Letter, signed, from an American artist in Rome. Autograph Letter, signed. 4 pages. Rome, Italy: May 20, 1854 Long letter (full transcript on request) to wealthy Boston merchant and amateur landscape painter Benjamin Smith Rotch, who had just left Rome after living there for a year with his family. They had become close friends, as had their wives and children, a friendship Thompson, while hard-pressed to pay the rent and wracked by “cheapness”, appreciated all the more because Rotch was a rich and privileged, married to the daughter of a US ambassador to England, and “there is in this world too apt a tendency to create friendships alone on worldly considerations, that is men of means are more likely to form intimacies than those of unequal fortunes.” Recalling their walks together – “to that old ruin I visited with you…far out on the new Appian Way”, to the Vale of Egeria “where the sun had the coolness to go behind a cloud and obstinately to keep there”, Thompson felt “still and…lone since you have left…” Rome was “nearly deserted” (of friendly Americans) the weather had been “very oppressive as well as depressive”, and Thompson had had “many bad days” with his painting. There is more artist talk, of auctioned masterpieces Thompson had bought for Rotch (“worth double the money”), promising in future to “keep a look-out for some things that shall be prized by you”; of Rotch’s own landscapes which he had left in Thompson’s studio (“I keep them always turned to the light that they may not darken”), which had been praised and even purchased by visiting Yankees. Thompson concluded, “I miss you very much…” Using his middle-name to distinguish himself from his father and namesake, a self-taught portrait painter popular with the rich and famous of New England and the South, Cephas Giovanni Thompson (1809-1888) worked in New York, Philadelphia and Boston before moving with his family to Italy, where he spent seven years before the Civil War. After the departure of Benjamin Rotch (who went on to become patron of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts), Thompson enjoyed the close friendship of novelist Nathaniel Hawthorne, who came to Rome after a diplomatic stint in England. Returning to America in 1859, Thompson eventually found artistic success of his own. Some of his work is held by the Metropolitan Museum in New York. Creased from mailing, a few short splits at folds; near fine. (300/500) Page 79 456. (American Art, 1855) Jackman, William G. Autograph Letter, signed, from the noted Civil War era engraver. Autograph Letter, signed. 2 pages + stampless address leaf. New York: May 20, 1855 To Daniel Rice, Rice & Hart. Publishers, Philadelphia: “…you said you had old plates of the N.P.G.[National Portrait Gallery] which you wanted restored. I shall be disengaged (that is, shall have finished the Large Copper Plate that I think I showed you, which has caused me great delay in all my other work for the last twelve months) in a few days… and should like to do them for you. I flatter myself I can do that sort of work better than anyone here…I would refer you to G.S. Appleton of D.Appleton & Co. New York, by whom I was employed 18 months…. doing nothing but restoring old line plates…or to Mr. Parton, with Redfield Publishers, New York for whom I repaired 3 landscapes, when two of the best engravers in the United States, Alfred Jones and James Smillie were afraid to undertake the job, if you would like me to do them, send prints of the original and present states, on inspection we can settle our terms…” Another British- born artist who immigrated to America in the 1840s, William G. Jackman (ca. 1816-1880) is best remembered for his iconic Civil War engravings of Robert E. Lee and Abraham Lincoln (from a photo by Matthew Brady), but he portrayed scores of famous Americans in his work for publishers like Rice & Hart, who produced some of the finest illustrated American books of the 1850s, including their 1856 new edition of the 4-volume National Portrait Gallery of Distinguished Americans. Creased from mailing, some light foxing; near fine. (200/300)

457. (American Art, 1855) Rodman, Edmund. Autograph Note, signed, from a New Bedford amateur artist. Autograph note, signed, plus three pages of sketches. [New Bedford, MA]: May 14, [c. 1855] A note, with 3pp. of crude pencil and ink architectural drawings (of a stairway and building, perhaps a warehouse) probably by Rodman, on a letter addressed to him by Benjamin Spooner, Norwich, Connecticut: “You will perceive by the contents of this letter that 41 [bil ca?] have probably arrived by the “Andrew Jackson”. Please have them taken into the Yard. I shall not be down for a day or two.” A wealthy Massachusetts dealer in Sperm Whale Oil, Edmund Rodman (1824-1902) was also an amateur artist who went on sketching trips with accomplished New Bedford painters like Charles Henry Gifford and Lemuel Eldred. A Quaker whose family had been active in the anti-slavery movement, his primitive paintings were still treasured by all those in the whaling center of New England who “loved…this kindly old man”. The date of this note can be inferred by Rodman’s reference to the clipper ship Andrew Jackson, launched in 1855 to carry cargo to Gold Rush California. Creased from mailing, light wear; very good.

458. (American Art, 1859) [Billings, Hammatt]. Printed announcement regarding the acceptance of a design by Billings for a “National Monument to the Forefathers”. 2 pages on a single sheet. Approximately 10x8½”. No place: January 1, 1859 Printed, illustrated statement, January 1, 1859, certifying that the Society had “accepted the design of Mr. Hammatt Billings for a National Monument to the forefathers, and he is authorized to appoint agents, receive moneys, and to solicit and collect subscriptions for the prosecution of the work.” 2pp. Embossed stamp of American Antiquarian Society. With postcard photo of the finished monument. Seven years earlier, In 1852, Billings had illustrated the First Edition of Harriet Beecher Stowe’s classic anti-slavery novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin. This circular for the National Monument was printed the year the cornerstone was laid for a structure Billings conceived of as a 150-feet-tall, as large as the later Statue of Liberty, and reminiscent of the ancient Colossus of Rhodes. The Monument was not completed - in a much-scaled- down form - for thirty years, long after Billings’ death. Creased, chipped at upper corner, splitting along center horizontal fold, embossed stamp of the American Antiquarian Society at upper right; very good. (150/250)

Page 80 459. (American Art, 1865) Cole, Seth, Jr. Autograph Letter, signed, from this American portrait painter. Autograph Letter, signed. 1 page, plus original envelope. Syracuse, NY: October 2, 1865 To Amos Miller, Romulus, New York: “I will send the portrait to Seneca Falls…on the express train…you may send the money to me by express. It will be $20.50 for portrait…Let me know as soon as practicable whether other portraits are wanted from the ambrotype…” Seth Cole, Jr. (1829-1903) was a self-taught artist, who was already drawing “exceptional sketches” in charcoal as a young child. At 19, he left his New York home for New Bedford, where he signed on with a whaling ship for a two year voyage around Cape Horn to Chile and Peru. (Some of his 1849 sketches of the Peruvian coast sold at Christie’s in 1999). While maritime subjects dominated his early work, he later made a living painting portraits, as noted in this letter, written months after the close of the Civil War. Creased from mailing; fine.

FIRST EXHIBIT OF “MODERN” FRENCH ART IN AMERICA 460. (American Art, 1866) Cadart, Alphonse. Printed letter of invitation to the first exhibition of ‘Modern’ French art in America. Printed letter, signed in type. 1 page, approximately 8¼x5”, with original envelope. [New York]: [March 3, 1866] Envelope addressed to multi-millionaire A.T. Stewart: “Before delivering to the appreciation of the public the gallery of Paintings, Etchings, Bronzes, Terra cotta and other specimens of Art that have been sent to New York by French Artists, we feel much flattered to offer to… Representatives of the Press and to the enlightened amateurs and protectors of art, the primeur of our exhibition…We live at a time and in a country where liberty of discussion exist without any restriction…even in matter of esthetic…old denominations of SCHOOLS are altogether out of date. We do not repudiate the appellation of REALISLS [sic] which is given us both by friends and adversaries – the first as an eulogium, the others as a sarcasm…the true and real signification the word implies. Realism means: Truth in Art…nothing else. Desirous of coming in intimate contact with the intelligent critic, we take the liberty, Sir, to invite you to a private exhibition….” The public opening, two days later, of the French Etching Club’s exhibition at the Fine Arts Gallery on Broadway, received only a small notice in the New York Times, But one art historian has called this “the first exhibition of modern French art” in America, including works by Corot, Daubigny, and Ribot, precursors of Impressionism. Ironically, though the inventory of the Exhibition when it later opened in Boston shows Manet to be one of the 150 members of Cadart’s Societe des Acquafortistes none of his work was included in this showing. That Boston imprint is rare – held only by the Fogg Museum at Harvard. But this may be the only surviving copy of Cadart’s introduction to the New York premier. Creased from mailing; fine.

461. (American Art, 1874) Torrey, H.D. Manuscript document, signed this Pennsylvania artist in Scotland. Manuscript document, signed. 1 page + 2 pages of attachments. Glasgow: December 17, 1874 Sworn statement by Torrrey that he was an American artist living in Glasgow and that the box he was sending to Thomas Coombes, Philadelphia, “contains a picture presented by me…” Certified by US Consul (and former Civil War General) Samuel Lyle Glasgow. Tear at fold, affecting signature. After teaching painting at a Female Seminary, Hiram Dwight Torrey (1820- 1900) began to paint landscapes and still lifes from a Pennsylvania studio during the 1850s. He moved his family to Scotland after the Civil War, working successfully in Europe for 13 years with commissions from many wealthy and prominent men. He returned to America in later life. One of his landscapes his held by Boston College; another, his Indians in a Wooded Landscape sold recently at auction. Wear at edges; creased; very good. (100/150)

Page 81 462. (American Art, 1876) Boughton, G.H. Autograph Note, signed, from an American painter to art dealer Charles Deschamps. Autograph note, signed. 1 page. Kensington, [London]: November 6, 1876 To “my dear Deschamps” : “I think that you will be better able to ‘do business with my picture “A Rainy Sunday” if I fix my price at 100 guineas…and give you whatever you receive over that amount. Every one is talking of your Exhibition. I hope it will prove an immense success.” Truly an “Anglo-American artist” – born in England, emigrated as a child to the United States, studied in England, returned to America, then back to open a studio in London, but concentrating on American historical subjects - George Henry Boughton (1833-1850) was a noted landscape painter and book illustrator whose paintings are now displayed in many American museums. But his letter to London art dealer Charles Deschamps (associated with Paul Durand-Ruel, who helped bring Impressionism into vogue) is of special interest because the Deschamps Gallery “Exhibition” Boughton mentions – of which “everyone is talking” – first brought the works of Degas to the attention of the British art world. Lightly soiled, creased; very good. (300/500)

463. (American Art, 1877) Harrison, Alexander Madena, Capt. U.S. Coast Survey. Two Autograph Letters, signed, from this topographical artist of California and Oregon. Two Autograph Letters, signed. 7 pages total. Plymouth, MA: June 1 & July 12, 1877 To his cousin, tracing the genealogy of their family back to the 17th century, and noting “I have for 30 years been an officer in the Government Service and…served throughout the [Civil] War.” With his middle-name listed as “Medina”, Harrison (1829-1881) wrote a small book on topographic surveying in 1869, but his more memorable work was as cartographer-engineer for the first US Government survey of the Pacific Coast during the 1849-50 Gold Rush. In that capacity, Harrison produced some of the earliest detailed topographic and cartographic drawings of parts of California and Oregon (including Point Pinos in Monterey Bay), and, according to Hughes’ Artists in California, also produced paintings now in an institutional collection. Creased from mailing; fine. (100/150)

Page 82 464. (American Art, 1878) Hooper, W.P. Autograph Letter, signed, with original sketched from an Indian reservation. Autograph Letter, signed, with several original sketches of Native Americans. 4 pages. No place [Minnesota/Dakota Territory]: [c.1878] To Rev. Charles Alphonso Curtis, Augusta, Maine. “…This agency is situated on a kind of Plateau…in front of us – and at our back – a mile – the Dakota Hills…no trees, excepting in the ravines which surround us on three sides – about 8 buildings – most of them log houses, the warehouse being of yellow brick. The only wooden frame house being the agent’s. There are about 18 ‘whites’ here – employees – and 2000 Indians on the reservation… touching Lake Traverse (between Minn. & D.T.) We are 50 miles from Railroad – 62 from the mail point. Twice a week – in good weather, a mule train brings the mail…when we get no mail, we are subjects for imprisonment - we are not safe to run loose (speaking of laziness, the Indian – the noble redmen – exceed any other animals.) I’m making ‘lots’ of sketches – though now its rather cool for outside work – have filled 4 books besides lots of old bits. Was fortunate enough to see a regular Indian Dance when I came here. The Dresses were not very heavy – but gaudy,,,calico shirt with tin bracelet, ornament of feathers and pounds of paint. They are not modest... the women are equal to the men as regards their elegant costume…the squaws carry all the loads and do all the work, the men hunt occasionally but don’t injure themselves with exertion…Of course, there are lots of half-breeds here, but they seem to be no worse than the full bloods – but they are all the meanest, most [?] lot that ever lived. You do a favor to an Indian and he’ll ask for more. If you humor him again, he’ll next demand more. When he can get nothing more, he’ll turn on you. They are ‘full of cussedness’…” Will Phillip Hooper (1855-1938) was only 23 when, after art study in New York, he joined his father, an Indian agent, on a Reservation on the Minnesota-Dakota border and wrote this cynical description of his first experience among Native Americans to a friendly Maine clergyman. Hooper’s prejudices would fade with time as he developed an artistic passion, already evident in these early drawings, for western themes; his later illustrations of western frontier life would appear in newspapers and magazines, including his autobiographic “Indian Agency Sketches”, now reprinted on the Fine Art Registry website. While working in an advertising agency, he was also a prolific book illustrator of Victorian novels - but, curiously, none being stories of Western Americana. Creased from mailing, fine. (700/1000)

Page 83 LETTERS TO ARTHUR WESLEY DOW WHILE IN PARIS 465. (American Art, 1885) Collection of 11 handwritten letters to painter, photographer and educator Arthur Wesley Dow while he was studying art in Paris. Collection of 11 handwritten letters (100+ total pages) to 28 year-old Arthur Wesley Dow, July 1885-November 1886, while he was studying art in Paris, France, and at Gauguin’s Pont Aven artists’ colony in Brittany, France. Eight are from his future wife and fellow artist, Minnie Eleanor Pearson of Lowell, two from his brother, and one from his father. With original mailing envelopes; on one, Dow has drawn two pencil sketches. Various places: 1885-1886 Important series of letters to one of the most influential figures in the American Arts and Crafts movement of the early 20th century, author of the classic “Composition, A Series of Exercises in Art Structure for the Use of Students and Teachers.” In 1884, Dow, a 27 year-old aspiring artist, born to a rural Massachusetts family, sailed for Europe with $300 in his pocket, intending to spend three years pursuing his artistic studies in Paris and at the artists’ colony founded by Gauguin at Pont Aven. As the letters in this collection from Dow’s brother and father make clear, his family, worried about the financial burden of the journey, while defending him to scoffing neighbors, always harbored the hope that he would soon abandon this dream and return to help run the family farm. Two years before his trip, while taking art lessons in Boston, Dow had met a fellow student, 21 year-old Minnie Pearson of Lowell, and they had become close friends - though their slowly-developing romance was left hanging when Dow went off to Europe. The first of Minnie’s letters in this group was written eight months after Dow had reached Paris and, to the young woman’s apparent dismay, had proved an infrequent correspondent. Her letters reflect her insecurity about their relationship and about her own career as an artist. But they are also full of her accounts of the art students and teachers they had both known in Boston and Ipswich, as well as her responses to his letters about his evolving artistic ideas and ambitions. Dow did not return to America until six months after Minnie wrote the last of these letters. On his return, he held an exhibition of his work in Boston, which one historian remarked, set the tone that would “haunt Dow’s exhibitions his entire life modest sales and mixed critical reviews”. But he did earn enough through sale of his work to enable him to return to Europe a year later - this time in company with Minnie, to whom he had become engaged. The Arthur Wesley Dow Papers in the Smithsonian Archives of American Art contain no letters from Minnie to her future husband, and so these letters - enhanced by the original Dow pencil sketches on one of Minnie’s envelopes - provide an exceptional insight into his early career as seen through the eyes of the woman who loved him. Complete transcripts of the letters available on request. Very good or better condition. (1000/1500)

466. (American Art, 1894) Bacher, O.H. Autograph Letter, signed, regarding design for a bookplate. Autograph Letter, signed. 1 page. Cleveland: December 14, 1894 To F.H. Baer: “…I will be glad to undertake a bookplate, but the terms I cannot give until I know more about the work. I shall be glad to call on you…I am sorry I cannot bring with me work of this kind that I have done for your inspection…” An expatriate friend of Whistler’s in Venice who later introduced the fine European art of print-making to Frank Duveneck’s circle in Cincinnati, Otto Henry Bacher (1856-1909) was better known for his etchings and book illustration (including works of Bret Harte) than for his paintings - though one historian has lauded his 1893 Nude Outdoors as “the most fully Impressionist treatment of the nude in American art”. Apparently, when he wrote this letter the following year, he did not consider book-plate design beneath him – even if he had no examples of work in this genre to show prospective patrons. Creased from mailing, some soiling; very good. (150/250)

Approximately 10¾x8¼”. San Francisco: July 22, 1904 To Gifford Hall, “The Anchorage”, Santa Cruz, California: “I’ve been trying for several days to steal time to drop you a line but an editor’s life is one of buzz & saw business: You’ve got off

Page 84 wrong, somehow, concerning criticism of Keno. I’ve had letters praising it; a dozen or more have talked to me about favorably. Our Mr. McCormick - passenger traffic director of the Southern Pacific - says it’s great. I liked it or I wouldn’t have run it - its a good yarn and paints the border- land well. I liked Borein’s illustrations. He’s not a Remington yet, but his knowledge of what he paints is a big thing. I’ve had lots of good words for his pictures I like them still, and say they’re good…” Australian writer Gifford Hall, an ex-frontier cavalryman who had fought in South Africa during the Boer War and worked as a cowboy in Australia, Canada and America before coming to California. Hall built a cabin in the Santa Cruz mountains, where he wrote The Love of Keno McKeown, A Story-Drama of the Border-land, serialized in Sunset. Native Californian Ed Borein was 32 when he was commissioned to draw the illustrations for Hall’s story. Creased from mailing; fine. (150/250)

468. (American Art, 1906) [New York School of Applied Design for Women]. Printed and mimeograph documents regarding the building of an Art school for women. One printed document and one mimeograph document. New York: 1906 Subscription sheet for large donors to a $275,000 building fund to construct a new building to house the over-crowded School of 400 women students, founded in 1892 to “afford women practical instruction which will enable them to earn a livelihood by the application of ornamental design to manufacture...”. The school provided courses in book cover design, stained glass, textile and wallpaper design, illustration and drawing, taught by such distinguished artists as Czech Art Nouveau master of Alphonse Mucha. While John D. Rockefeller and Mrs. Andrew Carnegie were among the first large donors, It wasn’t until 1909 that enough money was raised to build the new structure at 30th and Lexington. These subscription sheets bear the ink signatures of the Castoria Laxative heiresses, Cora F. Barnes and Mildred Barnes (later the mistress of Dumbarton Oaks), and Wall Street financier, Anton Hodenpyl. File holes in upper margins, creased, some separations at folds; very good. (150/250)

ORIGINAL ART FOR RADCLIFFE COLLEGE POSTER 469. (American Art, 1922) Walker, Charles Howard. “The Gate of Opportunity” - Original poster art for Radcliffe College. Original pen and ink on card drawing for a poster. Approximately 25x16”. Radcliffe Endowent Fund, 1922 Charles Howard Walker (1857-1936) was a noted Boston architect and MIT Professor, best known for his architectural work, including design of the Palace of Electricity at the St. Louis World’s Fair of 1903. He also produced some ornate propaganda posters during World War I. But this poster for Radcliffe College – founded as male Harvard’s “annex” for women – may be a unique example of his later work. It first appeared in a Radcliffe periodical of 1922 and more recently was reproduced as frontispiece in historian Laurel Thatcher Ulrich’s study of “Gender in Harvard and Radcliffe History”. Some small chips to margins, tape repairs on verso, some soiling to surface; very good. (3000/5000)

Since you are a “World War Vet” and another War is now in “Vogue” you may send me a “flag pin” (from Mr. Kress) one with red, white and blue stones, instead of paying me $1,00 for the landscape. No I’m not a “gold digger” of “Louisiana” – but I’m can’t afford to give my work away, even to charming “middle aged” Gentleman…” Louisiana artist Mary Belle de Vargas (1902-1946) was born without arms, but, remarkably, soon learned to use her legs, feet and toes to write, draw and paint. Though frail in health, she earned a college degree and then spent the last 16 years of her life painting – partly inspired by Dali’s Surrealist style - teaching and lecturing. A posthumous biography, “The Armless Marvel, Mary Belle” was published by a friend in 1949. There is also a website devoted to her work. Creased from mailing; fine. (200/300)

The frequency of auctions, and variety of subject matter, allows PBA Galleries to ensure quick turn-around time for items consigned. Books can appear at auction as quickly as 30 days and generally not more than 90 days following consignment. Commissions vary between 10% and 15%, depending on the selling price of an item.These commissions encompass all related costs including insurance, storage, cataloguing, illustrations, etc., except shipping.
