1959002184Northampton MA: The Print Club of Philadelphia The Gehenna Press 1959. Limited First Edition. Wraps. Near Fine. No. 200 of 250 limitation signed and numbered in pencil by Leonard Baskin. This was Baskin's first venture into publishing and his jagged and stark illustrations amplify the fire and brimstone of Blake's both naive and worldweary verse that lilts at the same time it pierces and challenges. Printed on an Italian hand-made paper this is indeed a very handsome brochure and this copy is pristine internally with the faint remnants of tape top and bottom on both the front and rear of the wraps the only minor blight to the special production. <br/><br/> The Print Club of Philadelphia, The Gehenna Press paperback books

Very good album with near fine photographs.<br/><br/>A photo album and scrapbook kept by Betty Blake while serving with the British & American Ambulance Corp. and the American Theatre Wing during World War II. Both were humanitarian organizations created to aid in relief and fundraise during the war. They were frequently used together and often put on events for war charities. Betty worked for both organizations as an actress and includes 8" x 10" photos of headshots and performances throughout. She also worked as a "Hospital Hostess" and can be seen stuffing envelopes making calls and painting a "V" on a vehicle. Two photos show a group of women wearing British & American Ambulance Corps sashes posed by a truck. Betty's scrapbook also includes a typed note signed by actress Antoinette "Toni" Perry inviting her to tea. A program and newsletter from the New York Theatre Critics' Review is laid in at the end of the album.<br/><br/>The American Theatre Wing had originally been founded during World War I in 1917 as the Stage Women's War Relief by playwright and director Rachel Crothers. By 1939 Crothers brought the organization back through the British War Relief Society. This time members included Mary Antoinette "Toni" Perry Helen Hayes Lynn Fontaine and Tallulah Bankhead among others. They set out to fundraise and organize donations of clothing for European refugees displaced during the war. During World War II they opened the Stage Door Canteen in New York to entertain servicemen. After the war many of the actresses continued on with the organization to help with post-war relief. <br/><br/>An interesting collection documenting a young actress' service during World War II. hardcover books
