1905148440LaRue County Kentucky August 28 1905. Rare original broadside advertisement of the bankruptcy sale of Abraham Lincoln's birthplace The Lincoln Spring Farm. One page printed broadside advertisement by L.B. Handley Special Commissioner of the LaRue County Kentucky and dated August 28 1905. The headline states "Commissioner's Sale! Of the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace." Thomas and Nancy Lincoln moved into the home in December 1808 just weeks before the birth of their son Abraham in February 1809. Only a few bidders participated and the auction was won for $3600 by a representative of Robert Collier publisher of Collier's Weekly. Other interested parties included William Jennings Bryan Samuel Gompers and Mark Twain. It was Collier who established the Lincoln Farm Association and beyond the purchase of the farm in Kentucky was instrumental in establishing the Lincoln Memorial in Washington rendering this an important stop in the nation's recognition of the life of Abraham Lincoln. In near fine condition with toning and a few small losses to the edges. Framed. The entire piece measures 12.5 inches by 23.75 inches. Abraham Lincoln served as the 16th President of the United States from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. He led the United States through its Civil War and in doing so preserved the Union of the United States of America abolished slavery and strengthened the federal government. In his Address at the Sanitary Fair in Baltimore Maryland in April of 1861 Lincoln stated: “The world has never had a good definition of the word liberty and the American people just now are much in want of one. We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing. With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself and the product of his labor; while with others the same word may mean for some men to do as they please with other men and the product of other men’s labor. Here are two not only different but incompatible things called by the same name liberty. And it follows that each of the things is by the respective parties called by two different and incompatible names…liberty and tyranny.†unknown
20001944St. Paul: Milkweed 2000. First edition. Softcover. A truly lovely lepidopterist association copy inscribed on the half-title page: "July 27 For Linc Lincoln Brower & Linda with deep affection great pleasure in the recollection of days afield & long friendship and looking forward to walking your ridge again with you this fall from Bob 'For the Monarchs' Lep Soc 2001 -- Corvallis." Pyle has also made a butterfly-and-mountains sketch at the top of the page and Brower has added his initials and the date and place of the annual meeting of the Lepidopterist Society. Pyle also signs in full on the title page. Lincoln Brower was the foremost expert and conservation champion of the monarch butterfly which he studied for six decades publicizing its unique migration patterns across generations from North to Central America. See his New York Times obit. Among many zoological and conservation awards he was recipient of the E.O. Wilson Award from the Center for Biological Diversity. Pyle is likewise a renown lepidopterist but equally renown as a writer and is the winner of the John Burroughs Medal for nature writing among other honors. This book is in Milkweed's Credo series which "explores the essential goals concerns and practices of contemporary American writers whose work emphasizes the natural world and human community"; it is an autobiographical personal essay from Pyle in which he narrates and reflects on his career mainly through his love and pursuit of butterflies he weaves in too a wonderful snippet of the butterfly novel then in progress now finished Magdalena Mountain. A great association as such. Foremost ecocritic Scott Slovic provides a critical biography to follow and finally a comprehensive bibliography of Pyle's work including articles etc. is provided in which Lincoln Brower is mentioned at least once as a co-author of the scientific paper "Mexican-American Interchange of Western Monarchs and Their Floral Corridors." There was a simultaneous hardcover published in limited numbers; this is the paperback here crisp feeling as new but with very faint staining to the top edge of the text block thus near fine. With a price sticker on the rear wrap. A great association. Milkweed unknown

21050'Lecourbe 43 – 65 2 rue Jacques Mawas Paris.' 23 April 1953. 2pp. 4to. Aged and worn but legible. A splendid effervescent letter highly characteristic written in demotic English in a close unruly hand. Tchelitchew was a close friend lover of Edith Sitwell and in addition to her brother Osbert the letter contains references to Lincoln Kirstein 1907-1996 influential figure in New York culture founder with George Balanchine of the New York City Ballet and the School of American Ballet and the book he was writing on Tchelitchew as well as to Tchelitchew's partner the writer Charles Henry Ford 1908-2002. Kirstein had published a book on Tchelitchew's drawings in 1947 and would exhibition on him with catalogue in 1964 but the book discussed in the letter was not published. The letter begins: 'My dear dear Sweet Stephen We arrived here few days ago from Rome – had most apauling sic weather on the way. After 2 montsh of heavenly hot divine italian weather in the middst sic of the sublime landscape – of “Castelli Romani†… We lived in mddst of most lovely Corot I love italy – I think I am in love with Italy – whatever she is!!! It is my real true love . . . . Dear Dear Stephen'. He would love him to visit 'but helas we have no more a house there we have only very vague planes sic about how and where to spend our Winter as I don't think I will be able to spend it in Paris: the weather is too awful here in winter and it is all so grey: and people are so '. He returns to his love of 'italian beauty loveliness gayety “and forgetfullnessâ€. They are like the Cats: they attach themselves to you and - - - forget you as quick!' He thanks heavens that there are 'english people in the World – they are the best friends one can have – faithful loyal – even when one doesnt see each other for years as you and geoffrey'. He compliments his appearance in 'your photos – you are looking very well and I think it is better to gain some weight as I try to do myself – when one is too thin one has no physical resistance at all and all life is such terrible physical struggle'. He himself has 'no physical force at all – onely my poor nerves – as you know - - - - -'. The second page begins: 'Paris put on for us her most lovely april weather! - simply amazing – divine – faces are more smiling. Senses more elegant boys have sensitife aphroddisiacly hunted Faces – so like so to the “Animal beauty2 of Italy so refined so sensitif too.' Regarding Stephen's 'drawings to exhibit in N. Y.' he suggests he write to 'Edwin Hewitt gallery friend of Lincoln Kirstein and Osbert Sitwell … If Osbert could write about you to him – you'll be sure to have a show there. Galleries are very difficult to obtain especially for drawings'. He bemoans the 'Abstract Fashion' and complains that Kirstein is 'too busy being the director of City Center Opera and Ballet etc etc – he is very important big figure “now – I am awaiting for the book on me†- he is writing to appear sometimes during next year! He writes it all ready for two years – but being all time distracted he is too busy – he probably will succede this year! I wouldn't bother about him nor can you expect any commission in the Theater in U.S.A. as for that you have to belong to a Scenic Designers Union – pay $500 initial fee' $10 a month % on all commissions but before all – you have to succede in passing a very complicated examination full of mathematical perspectives etc. which I am afraid you are not too well acquainted with and it would be a terrible task to learn it all'. Tchelitchew 'left this wretched Union myself as the theater in U.S.A. does not interest me at all – it is all so commercial – not like Europe.' He continues: 'Stephen dear what are your planes about this Spring and Summer. I am trying to show my new work. Paris as far as people and their work goes – is not more the City we knew – it is like a city filled with flys in September'. The letter concludes with text upside-down at the head of the first page: 'I suppose it was really allways that way onely we were different – now we see it as it is . . . so let me know all about you – and please send all you can photograph of my work in your possession here – it will be wonderful and Linc. Kirstein will be very pleased too. love from Charles and from me – as ever Pavel'. See "Edith Sitwell: Avant garde poet English genius" By Richard Greene for background and foreground.

196621149NY: New Directions 1966. 1966. Very good. INSCRIBED TO LEONARD BERNSTEIN BY LINCOLN KIRSTEIN - Small quarto tan cloth titled in black in its original dust wrapper. The dust jacket is lightly creased & soiled with rubbing to the jacket's spine. viii 215 & 1 pages. The top edge of the book is foxed. Very good. <p>Inscribed to Leonard Bernstein: "for Lennie. with thanks and love. May 16. 1974. / This has a lot more than the version Wystan i.e. Auden liked / I would adapt to any meter or combination of vowels or syllables. / Hoping to work with you sometime! / Lincoln".<p>The first edition of this book--evidently the one that Auden read--was titled RHYMES OF A PFC. Drawing on Kirstein's experiences as an enlisted man in World War II it sold out immediately on publication. Rather than allowing the publisher to reprint the work as it stood Kirstein added many new poems to the retitled 1966 edition.<p>The remarkable inscription represents an eager appeal by one of the most important figures in the performing arts to work with the greatest talent in American music.<p>A powerful association. NY: New Directions, (1966). hardcover
186010625Columbus OH: Follett Foster & Co 1860. First Hardcover Edition. Hardcover. Very good. Octavo 406pp. illustrated plus advertisements. With half-title and original endpapers. A very good copy complete and unrestored in the publisher's brown cloth. Spine ends with shallow wear one scrunch to the cloth on the front board abrasions to corners and mild internal foxing. Still a nice sound copy with strong inner hinges. All three illustrations present as called for including an uncommonly dashing portrait of the 16th president.

This must be quite an early copy as there is no errata slip at p. 74 issued in later copies the error on p. 46 no "i" in "importance" on the last line is present and we even note another typographical error not mentioned in any other catalog description that we found with the last word "triumph" omitted by the printer supplied here in pencil by a contemporary owner. There is a period and colon after the "O" at the imprint though these almost appear to have been added later . Howes H-735. Follett, Foster & Co hardcover
