Hogan starring Dorothy Lamour Lew Ayers Gilbert Roland Lionel Atwill Anthony Quinn et al.

193735126Barcelona: Comité Regional en Cataluña de los Industrias de la Edificación Madera y Decoración C.N.T - A.I.T. 1937. First Edition. Large folio 49cm. Staple-bound pictorial paper wrappers; 23pp; illus. Horizontal fold; partial perforation at bound edge; creasing to corners with marginal soil to wrappers and a few chips to contents; a sound Good or better example. The unlikeliest of publishing endeavors during the depredations of wartime: an avant-garde large-format lavishly illustrated journal of architecture and decorative arts issued no less under the auspices of an anarchist workers federation. The editors intended to usher in a new era of progressivism and modernism following the defeat of the fascist rebels in the July Barcelona uprising of 1936 ".aquel magnifico y revolucionario 19 de julio tan digno y decisivo; no solo como fin de etapa sino tambien como prologo de una etapa nueva repleta de posibilidades consequidas ya en parte ye en parte perfiladas no siempre malogradas." and the magazine fashioned itself upon the model of such avant-garde revolutionary journals as the Soviet Union's USSR in Construction and the American Labor Defender with bold photo-montage layouts and modernist typography. The timing was not propitious. By December 1937 the Republic was mired in an increasingly hopeless civil war and the glorious New Era that had seemed so certain in July of 1936 was now a rapidly fading hope. The magazine appears to have lasted for only a single issue before folding; today it is extremely rare with no examples in North America and only two physical locations noted in European institutions via COPAC and OCLC Biblioteca Nacional and Bibliotheque Nanterre. BNE attributes editorship to the avant-garde graphic artist DarÃo Carmona de la Puente but this information does not appear to derive from the publication itself which makes no editorial attribution.

1937SPANISHC002314Left Review London. 1937. First edition. Royal octavo. 24 pages. Wrappers. A publication arising from a letter signed by twelve European writers prominent in Europe including Aragon W.H. Auden Nancy Cunard Heinrich Mann Pablo Neruda Ramon Sender Tristan Tzara etc. The letter was addressed to the writers of England Scotland Ireland and Wales and asked whether they were for or against the government of Republican Spain. Somehow Ezra Pound got involved he was neutral in a combative kind of way: ''Spain is an emotional luxury to a gang of sap-headed dilettantes''. The majority of responses were in favour and these include messages from Samuel Beckett ''�Up the Republic!'' - almost the shortest contribution Kay Boyle Thomas Burke Cyril Connolly Aleister Crowley C. Day Lewis Liam O'Flaherty Ford Madox Ford David Gascoyne Victor Gollancz Laurence Housman Aldous Huxley C.L.R. James Arthur Koestler John Lehmann Rose Macaulay ''AGAINST FRANCO'' - the shortest contribution Hugh Macdiarmid Louis MacNeice John Middleton Murry Sylvia Pankhurst V.S. Pritchett Herbert Read Olaf Stapledon Sylvia Townsend Warner Clough Williams-Ellis etc etc. In the neutral camp were Vera Brittain Robert Byron T.S. Eliot H.G. Wells V. Sackville-West etc. Only five messages are in the ''Against'' section including ones from Edmund Blunden Arthur Machen and Evelyn Waugh. The following year a similar exercise was carried out in America where 418 writers gave their opinions. This pamphlet has also been the inspiration for questionnaires on the Vietnam War and even the Falklands War.Foxing mostly light on almost every page. Covers lightly stained. Spine starting to split.
