Autograph Letter Signed to noted American architect author and printing designer Frank Chouteau Brown during the very period in which Will Bradley was withdrawing from work for a season owing to personal stresses and impending nervous breakdown and the letter deals with Bradley's inability to take on work. Bradley writes to Chouteau "10 Kirkland Road Cambridge 1901. My Dear Sir: I have yours of the 22nd. I am very sorry that even with the extended time I can't possibly give you any material for your book. I found it necessary the first of this year to refrain from taking on any new work even of the slightest nature as I am now spending longer hours at my drawings than I should and even then I can't get through with the work I have in hand." He goes on to explain how he'd like to take up a rest in the latter part of August and in order to accomplish this he must "keep everlastingly at it." He closes with a pleasant invitation to call but he trusts "you won't urge me any further to give you a drawing. Yours Truly Will Bradley." And below that "To Frank C. Brown Esq. Boston." Fine folded twice. An interesting and personal Will Bradley letter which rarely shows up in the marketplace nowadays. <br/><br/> unknown books

Jack Bradley was a Cape Cod native who after graduating from the Massachusetts Maritime Academy fell in love with Jazz after seeing Louis Armstrong perform at the Boston Armory in 1956. In 1958 he moved to New York from Cape Cod and began dating Jeann Failows a member of Louis Armstrong's inner circle. Through Failows Bradley gained access to Armstrong eventually becoming very close friends with the trumpeter and his inner circle. Bradley already had amassed a large collection of jazz material much related to Armstrong and he augmented his own collection by photographing Armstrong and his Jazz circle for the next decade. The bulk of Bradley's collection now resides at the Louis Armstrong House Museum in Queens. <br /> <br /> This collection is of seven photographs of jazz musicians from Bradley's estate showing a wonderful window into the tail end of the Classic Jazz era. <br /> <br /> Photographs as follows:<br /> <br /> Willie Cook. 5 x 7 inches.

Mainly cookery with a notable English bent. The author fl. 1740's-1755 describes herself as being "late of Bath" with the work "being the result of upwards of Thirty Years Experience". The bibliographies vary in their probable dates of publication from 1755 to c.1800 c.1756 seems the most likely as there was an advert in 'The Scots Magazine' announcing its publication in weekly parts in the January of that year. There was a total of forty-two parts and the part numbers are given in the signatures. Lehmann in the ODNB agrees with 1756 noting that it was "was published as a part-work from January to October 1756 and eventually came out in book form in 1758". She goes on to state that "the book is a complete manual for the housewife the cook the housekeeper the gardener and the farrier with monthly sections of advice and recipes which cover every aspect of domestic management in the middle of the eighteenth century . Martha Bradley is one of the most important cookery writers of the eighteenth century not only because her book is one of the most comprehensive of its kind but also because she discusses the merits and difficulties of the dishes gives information on European as well as English cookery and tells the reader what is old-fashioned and what is up to date. In an age when most cookery books were simply compilations Mrs Bradley's book stands out for the author's personal involvement in her recipes" ODNB. ESTC T111915.

Image 9-1/2 x 12 inches; attractively gilt-framed with lettered French mat 17-1/2 x 19-1/2 inches overall. Original Drawing of Mr. Verdant Green at Cricket. A popular Victorian literary character was Mr. Verdant Green an Oxford Freshman hero of several books written and illustrated by a Midland vicar Rev. Edward Bradley 1827-1889 under the pen-name of Cuthbert Bede. Bradley had learned wood-engraving from no less than George Cruikshank but as Houfe notes "remained very much the amateur illustrating his own books.and others in a jolly and careless style." He also drew for Punch and "was one of the first illustrators to satirise photography."<br/><br/>This drawing jolly and careless shows two sketches of the hapless freshman unsuccessfully defending a wicket--the drawings appear in more finished wood-engraved form on pages 100-101 of The Adventures of Mr. Verdant Green-- and a more formal portrait done in the year in which The Adventures first appeared thus making it an Oxford literary and cricket item all in one.
