196056965Pasadena CA: n.p. ca. 1960. Folio. 14.5 x 20 in. Twelve original gouache paintings on thick artist’s board 10 of them either w/ typed or manuscript labels 1 entitled “Garden Party†written in manuscript at upper fore-edge 8 preserving their cloth fabric swatch samples some w/ designer’s notes trimmings etc. All are preserved in a gray linen clamshell case minor edgewear rubbing wear to corners still a well-preserved fine set of paintings. This nicely executed set of fashion designs were apparently created for a Civil War theatre production in Southern California around 1960 with characters named Florence Bagshot Mrs. Ludley Bagshot Agatha Mrs. W.D.P.S. and Mrs. Forbes. The designs primarily focused on the women characters including one of a nurse standing in costume in gray striped dress apron and cap with Confederate cavalry trooper in kepi astride his horse and hatless officer with sash standing in the background. Many of the designs reflect the colour palate of the early 1960’s with avocado green vivid blues solid brown earth tones and bright nearly neon orange gauze fabrics in the renderings and samples which would not have been common in those combinations during the Civil War era. Still most of the dress designs incorporate the hoop skirts of the period often with crinoline and/or crinoline cage hoop skirts and high collars with ties and ribbons at the neck and trim patterns typical of the period. The design for Florence Bagshot’s bedroom wear incorporates elements of Mid 20th-Century design and sensibilities rather than the more common chemise and sturdy cotton for the 1860’s. The Confederate Nurse design was painted on “Brownie Board Cold Pressed Duncan Vail Co. Los Angeles†which appears in California art supply advertising from about 1960-1963. We were unable to identify the production after an extensive search through contemporary theatre production trade magazines newspapers and other industry publications. n.p., hardcover

1820aa736Paris: Hubert Libraire Palais-Royal 1820. First. Very Good. This very scarce novel written by a popular comic French actress is in red morocco with gilt titles on spines and the gilt monogram of the Empress Marie-Louise on both covers indicating that the volumes are from her personal library. Other volumes from her library with similar bindings are held at Cambridge University and at Princeton.<br /> <p>The set is in very good condition overall. Vol. 1 does have some old water damage to front edges of covers half title and endpapers but the rest of the covers and the text are unaffected with only slight age toning and uneven page edges as is sometimes typical for books of this period. Vol. 2 shows none of the issues of Vol. 1 and has only minor scuffing at the corners. Modest foxing primarily at half title and title pages Both bindings are tight and sound. An internet search yields no other originals currently available just modern print-to-order copies. So the novel itself is scarce but its association with the Empress makes this set unique.</p> <br /> <p>Marie-Anne-Florence Bernardy-Nones 1766 - 1818 known as Mademoiselle Fleury was a Belgian actress active in France Her father Louis-Joseph Nones known as Fleury and mother Marie-Anne-Denise Bernardy daughter of Charles Bernardy were comic actors in the provinces who often appeared in the Austrian Netherlands.

Despite Napoleon’s abdication her royal parentage was recognized by the Congress of Vienna and she became the Duchess of Parma from 1814 until her death.</p> . Hubert, Libraire, Palais-Royal unknown

1940182459Manila: 1940s. A graphic album showing fighting in the Philippines the Marshall Islands Papua New Guinea Guam the Solomon Islands and Palau. The compiler chose to include violent images displaying the brutality of the campaign. The album opens with portrait shots of individual Marines or groups along with photographs of American encampments and ships. The scenes then turn more distressing with images of dead locals including children lying on the beach or next to tanks. The photographs were taken across the Pacific theatre: one shows an American soldier holding a flame-thrower on Kwajalein Atoll another shows a beach landing at Luzon and a third shows a Marine posing next to a sign in Bougainville. Most were taken in the final years of the conflict including at Guadalcanal and Peleliu. There are also shots of the end of the war one showing a Japanese soldier surrendering with a white flag and another showing Japanese prisoners of war in a camp in Guam. The final photograph is the most famous "Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima" showing six Marines raising the US flag on Mount Suribachi during the Battle of Iwo Jima. This photograph won the 1945 Pulitzer Prize for Photography. The majority of the photographs are commercial with a few opening portrait shots of the unidentified compiler. Oblong folio 286 x 390 mm. With 55 gelatin silver photographs one lacking approximately 90 x 130 mm landscape or portrait corner-mounted with tape recto and verso on 7 leaves remainder blank.
