1419218250Number 2411. February 141955. 2 photographic illustrations 53.5 x 38cm text in traditional Chinese characters. Browning a few washi repairs good condition. This edition of the People's Daily celebrates the 5th anniversary of the Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship Alliance and Mutual Assistance signed in 1950 with congratulatory messages the text of speeches on cooperation details of USSR's assistance to China and explanations about why China had been lagging behind industrially and economically. Although privately less than happy with some aspects of the treaty China had to appear enthusiastic in the public arena. The talking-up of China's relationship with the USSR would have been seen as essential at this time; just a month prior the US had signed a Mutual Defense Treaty with the Republic of China and drawn up the 'Formosa Resolution' authorising the use of US forces to defend Taiwan. <br> <br>The front page features a wide-angle photographic illustration of the celebration of the Fifth Anniversary of the signing of the Sino-Soviet Treat of Friendship Alliance and Mutual Assistance; in the front row L to R are Chen Shutong Dong Biwu Shen Junru Lin Boqu Liu Shaoqi Song Qinlin Guo Moruo Luo Maijin Russian Delegate Zhou Enali Li Jishen Wu Yuzhang Peng Zhen and Huang Yanpei.

24748No date circa 1920 or place but circa 1920 On paper watermarked ‘The Club Note Thomas & Sons London’. The circumstances surrounding this extraordinary original composition in Latin verse are obscure. See Phillips’s entry in the Oxford DNB which notes that there was ‘an air of Proust’ about him and quotes Oliver Brown’s description of him as ‘a stout man immaculately dressed and heavily scented who talked continuously while he looked at the pictures'. It may be that Phillips and the author of the poem had been educated together or that they were members of the same club the Athenaeum for example. Whatever their relationship the author of the present work was clearly a capable classicist. Until the handwriting has been compared the suggestion cannot be dismissed that he might be the Professor of the Classical Association and Corpus Christi Professor of Latin at Oxford Albert Curtis Clark described in his own ODNB entry as a man who ‘could carry his learning lightly was the best of company full of humour and of wit and a perfect raconteur’. 2pp 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition lightly aged and creased. Central horizontal crease. Written in black ink. Poem and translation face one another with the Latin text beneath the heading ‘IN CLAUDIUM PHILIPPSIUM. EQUITEM.’ on the recto of the second leaf and the translation headed ‘IN LIBIDINOSUM.’ on the verso of the first. The Latin poem is twelve lines long in three four-line stanzas. It begins: ‘Cur stercoratae verba licentiae / Libidinosus semper in auribus / Emittis obscaenisque gaudes / Colloquiis .’. The English translation reads in its entirety: ‘Why dost thou lustful discharge ever in our / ears words of licence reeking of the dungheap: / why dost thou rejoice in obscene conversations O / Veteran Claudius / Old age presses on: thy last word inserted language planted with dirty last word inserted refuse / dishonours thy white hair: a forehead ploughed / with hardset wrinkles is out of keeping with / lascivious words. / Do thou at least case from foul gossip: last word an emendation of ‘talk’ let thy / bawdy stories be silenced remembering / thy industrious youth O Old Man worthy / of a better reputation.’ No date [circa 1920?] or place, but circa 1920? On paper watermarked ‘The Club Note | Thomas & Sons | London’. unknown
24875Not dated but published in the London magazine ‘Books and Bookmen’ in 1974. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. From the papers of Philip Dosse who was proprietor of Hansom Books publisher of a stable of seven arts magazines including Books and Bookmen and Plays and Players. See ‘Death of a Bookman’ by the novelist Sally Emerson editor of ‘Books and Bookmen’ at the time of Dosse’s suicide in Standpoint magazine October 2018. Rees-Mogg’s book was published in 1974 and the present item appeared in ‘Books and Bookmen’ in the same year. A late draft neatly written out on 5pp small 4to with each page on separate leaf. Signed at end ‘Colin R. Coote’. Minor emendations to the first second and last pages. Begins: ‘This brilliantly sensible essay does something to redress my conviction that nothing good can come out of Printing House Square except by dismissal. The verdict was reached afterr over 20 year’s service with the former Thunderer when it became a ringleader in the foolish flimsy and almost lethal flummery called appeasement. But I now rejoice that God has answered Belloc’s prayer to be with Balliol men by clearly inspiring one of them - Mr Rees-Mogg.’ ‘What is the “Reigning Errorâ€â€™ Coote asks. ‘It is failure to realise that an imaginary test is the enemy of a practical good. There are two basic themes in this essay. The first is the behaviour of money; the second is the behaviour of men.’ At one point he writes: ‘The only advantage I have over Mr Rees-Mogg is that I have actually experienced rabid deflation here and rabid inflation in four separate countries.’ He concludes on the subject of ‘human behaviour’ ‘What is really distressing is not the venom of mindless militancy but its stupidity. You need only be able to read and to see in order to know that if strikes are substituted for honest sweat the end will be ghastly unemployment; that if Parliamentary Democracy is destroyed the alternative will be either tyranny or anarchy; that the real danger is not from known indignants but from “leaders†who say “I am their leader I must follow themâ€.’ Not dated, but published in the London magazine ‘Books and Bookmen’ in 1974. unknown
23776Anstey's TLS on his Daily Telegraph Magazine letterhead and dated 20 March 1970. Hayden-Guest's article evidently written shortly before that date. A curious artefact indicating Garbo’s iconic status and an early example of a journalistic trend which has gained ground since the late 1960s. Hayden-Guest still active as a writer is the son of the diplomat Peter Haden-Guest 4th Baron Haden-Guest and brother of the 5th Baron Christopher who is won fame as ‘Nigel’ in the film ‘Spinal Tap’. Anstey who edited the Daily Telegraph magazine for twenty-two years from its inception in 1964 has been variously described as ‘the last of the great autocratic magazine editors’ ‘tyrannical’ and ‘completely terrifying’ with a habit of sending his employees ‘alarming memos on the eve of their summer holidays’. He ‘did not often meet his reporters personally instead he wrote notes and invited them once a year to the magazine’s Christmas party’. While grateful for the money John Betjeman found working for the magazine ‘hateful’. Gitta Sereny who contributed extensively to what she considered ‘the best of the weekend colour supplements’ found Anstey ‘difficult’ but ‘extraordinary’. Both are items in fair condition lightly aged and stapled together. ONE: Unsigned Carbon Typescript of article titled ‘GRETA GARBO - a Personal Memoir Anthony Haden-Guest’. 5pp long 8vo. Single-spaced on five leaves. As Item Two makes clear the article is a spoof of the ‘type of article’ which Anstey describes as the ‘anti-profile’: pretentious and implying in conspiratorial tones an implausible familiarity with the subject. It is the sort of writing which Martin Amis would begin by satirizing. The beginning sets the tone: ‘Some people just a few call her ‘Greta’ right to her face That face. Charlie Chaplin does to name but one. All the same most people who are so close that they could call her ‘Greta’ in fact call her ‘G. G.’. Acquaintances But wouldn’t that be enough call her “Miss Garbo†and a very few indulge her own conspiratorial urges and refer to her as “Miss Brownâ€. As indeed she sometimes does herself. I am indebted for this information to the writings of Mr Norman Zierold who does not say what he calls her or what she calls him. / Personally I like to call her simply “Greta Garboâ€.’ Further on comes a passage which like the rest of the article may or may not be a complete fiction: ‘Actually the first time that I was introduced to Greta Garbo was under pretty funny circumstances but Destiny as so many of her great motion pictures have pointed out gets up to some pretty funny things. Certainly it seemed funny to see Garbo at a party especially this sort of party a flourescent celebration of . . . Well not Garbo though she is incontestably the centre of it all. An acid/rock group is pounding nervily away into the statutory light-machine and a film is being projected onto a wall which is white and narrow - so narrow that most of the party is taking place without artistic licence in the movie.’ Towards the end Haden-Guest stretches the bounds of credulity with the following: ‘Great Garbo! Now she is looking at me . . . The ageing roue is nowhere to be seen. Her shoulders are working hugely and her throat and the face . . . planes shift as conflicting emotions do massive internal furniture removals but now Garbo looks so worried and she says it - She actually says it - “I want to be aloneâ€. / Yes she is really saying it and not just once because she repeats it - “I want to be aloneâ€. / Well yes. Great Garbo want to be alone -’. TWO: Typed Letter Signed ‘J A’ from John Anstey 20 March 1970 addressed to ‘Anthony Haden-Guest Esq. C/o Chateau Marmont Los Angeles California U.S.A.’ ‘c. c. Pat Kavanagh’ 1p 8vo. He begins: ‘Dear Anthony I read the Great Garbo article when it first came in. Last night I read it again. It is a difficult one. However I know that you have misgivings about it - and I fear that I have them too.’ Anstey’s opinion is that the piece ‘just does not work at the moment. ‘It does not come across as the sort of “anti-profile†we were thinking about. It starts off by being intriguing. But then one just gets confused and there is a danger of it seeming rather pretentious: which is one of the faults of the type of article which it should be satirizing.’ He suggests that they ‘look at it again’ when Haden-Guest gets back from America. ‘The formula is right at the moment but we must overcome the danger of pretentiousness and it must seem less pointless than it is at the moment. The last paragraph cleverly suggests that there is nothing more to know about Greta Garbo than we learn here: but somehow I think that we have got to say more.’ The letter ends: ‘How is California Can you let me know about the Hollywood idea as soon as possible.’ Not known if published in any form despite Googlebooks.
