19671458751967. Archive of eight vintage borderless photographs three typescript essays and a carbon typescript of the first essay and first page of the second by photographer Jerry Bauer circa 1967 with the photographs corresponding to the topics of the essays. <br/><br/>Bauer was an American photographer best known for his photographic portraits of writers with his portraits of Samuel Beckett being held in particularly high regard. Much of his work resides in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery in London.<br/><br/>The first essay "The American Underground: Mind Expansion A Messiah 'Love'" is an examination of Timothy Leary and the "League for Spiritual Discovery" LSD a communal organization carrying out studies in the religious use of psychedelic drugs as well as the effects of LSD. Two photographs are of the New York Millbrook estate mentioned in the essay one of the centers for the group one photograph of the estate itself and the other of two participants on the porch. Another photograph shows three young people lounging on a bed a young man with beads in his hand matching the description in the essay of a subject's focus on "a set of beads" and a description of the living quarters being ". . . simple: mattresses on the floor." <br/><br/>The second essay "American Underground : Mind Expansion The Poets 'Love' 2" is broken into three sections. The first is about the musical group The Fugs who Bauer describes as "the Beatles of the American underground." Two of the photographs in and around Washington Square Park feature members of The Fugs one of a gleaming Ed Sanders and Geoff Outlaw with two unidentified young women. In a second photograph the same group is on the grass along with Ken Weaver and a third unidentified young woman.<br/><br/>The second section of the essay is about "the two stars" of the underground film movement Andy Warhol stars Baby Jane Holzer and Edie Sedgewick with a corresponding photograph taken in Warhol's Factory showing Ingrid Superstar sitting on a mattress Baby Jane Holzer on the floor with her back to the camera along with several unidentified subjects. Holzer is identified from a published photograph by Bauer titled "Baby Jane Holzer" taken at the same time as the one in the archive.<br/><br/>The final section of the essay is a about American youth and drug culture in Greenwich Village as well as the neighborhood itself. Here the related photographs are of several young people seated on the grass one playing the guitar in Washington Square Park and one of several people standing around a Greenwich Village intersection.<br/><br/>The third essay "Andy Warhol: Film Director of America's Underground" is a study of Warhol's early experimental films. Beginning with a brief summation of Warhol's early career Bauer goes on to postulate about Warhol's films discussing the director's various regulars including Elekro Baby Jane Holzer Sally Kirkland Nico here spelled "Nicot" and others.<br/><br/>Photographs: Six photographs 10.75 x 8.25 inches two photographs 10.75 x 8 inches.

21433Hardcover. Very good. Black leather album containing 54 tissue-guarded leaves of watercolor paper of which 43 have been used. 10 x 12 inches stamped in gilt on the front "Sketches on the Nile / Alan Hinch / 1938." Leather scuffed cloth tape reinforcement to inner hinges all else very good. Alan Hinch was born in England c. 1881 but was living in the United States by 1920 when the federal census documents him working in Miami as pilot of a private yacht owned by socialite James Deering an executive in International Harvester Company. He apparently embarked on this Nile cruise as companion to his next employer Richard Flint Howe 1863-1943 another International Harvester executive who had married James Deering's sister Abby. Passenger manifests show Hinch as traveling in the company of a "Mr. R. Howe" and the census of 1940 lists him as butler on Howe's estate. He was clearly more than a simple servant however as this charming and humorous album reveals. The album documents the journey from departure on the Italian Line passenger ship Conte de Savoia on January 15 1938 to arrival home at Banksia Howe's custom-built mansion in Aiken South Carolina on March 26 1938. Each page includes an original watercolor most measuring about 4.5 x 8 inches but some larger with a related original doggerel poem. Hinch's paintings are skillful. His poetry is markedly less so but it is clever observant and skillfully captures the traveler's experiences. On a visit to Asyut Hinch writes: Assuit the place they said would be warm/ Was 42 degrees at early morn/ If the like keeps on we will have to don /Earlaps coonskins as at a football game./ Rode through the quarters where the natives were/ Couldn't say lived for it looked so bare/ They called out for bakscheesh/ Both old and young/ They thought we came only to give to them./ Oh what a place to be born and live./ Then through the bazaar narrow and crowded/ Maybe bargains galore/ But we passed through as quick as we could./ Oddments and rubbish in hovels so poor./ Then to the tombs too high to climb/ And round the modern town we drove/ Back on board the "Memnon" to dine. A visit to the ancient cemetery at Beni Hasan is described from the perspective of the donkeys who labor under the weight of well-fed tourists. Other subjects include the ocean liners and streamers they traveled in local people they encountered a dragoman a water carrier a little girl in a red scarf boats on the Nile camels and water buffalo the Pyramids Sphinx Panopolis El-Balyyana Abydos Karnak Kom Ombo Wadi Haifa Abu Simbel and Luxor. There are also several views of the Mediterranean coast and one of Banksia in South Carolina. In all a charming and lovely representation of the places and time. hardcover books
