1960CAT206New York et al. 1960. Five 8 x 10 and two 5 x 7 inch gelatin silver prints with Bradley's estate marks to versos. Excellent. 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. A portrait of Cook seated. Excellent condition. <br /> <br /> Count Basie and Duke Ellington. 5 x 7 inches. The two jazz greats are seated at their respective pianos during rehearsal.

And it's a good way to remember me- the guy who liked Maine lobsters and fish- but didn't get much of any that was legitimate or counted Very best Brad." Introductions by Vilhjalmur Stefanson and Peter Freuchen. Foreword by Commander Donald B. MacMillan. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Exceptionally rare and desirable signed by Henson and with such a long inscription from Robinson. Matthew Alexander Henson was the first African-American Arctic explorer an associate of Robert Peary on seven voyages over a period of nearly 23 years. They made six voyages and spent a total of 18 years in expeditions. Henson served as a navigator and craftsman traded with Inuit and learned their language and was known as Peary's "first man" for these arduous travels. The first to break the color barrier at the Explorer's Club Henson was also the only member of Peary's party to master the Inuit language and method of driving dog sleds. His only descendants are through his children with an Inuit woman Akatingwah. This book helped to bring Henson's accomplishments as the first black polar explorer into the popular conscience. A US postal stamp was issued featuring Henson in 1986 and in 1988 he and his wife Lucy were reinterred at Arlington National Cemetery near the grave of Robert Peary. Arctic Bib. 14683. Robert M.

18945083bdBoston: Roberts Brothers 1894. Octavo burgundy cloth & green illustrated boards hardcover illus. frontis. 82 pp. Interior upper hinge broken; binding still sound; light edgewear. Illustrated throughout. From story: Little Tommy sat on the doorsteps before his house one summer’s day and the hot sun streamed down over him in a flood. Tommy was very glad however to be so warm for he was just recovering from a long illness and was so pale and thin that the sun seemed only to put life and strength into him and to do him no harm whatever. The little boy was dressed in a suit of blue clothes just like those of a sailor with anchors of white braid on the shoulders with a large embroidered collar and with trousers very wide at the bottom. On his head was a wide-brimmed straw hat which surely was very unlike a sailor’s hat. Tommy however was not a sailor though there was no knowing what he might be later in life; as yet he had not launched his bark for a voyage of his own but had only been towed along in the wake of larger craft. In one chubby hand was carried a doll-like figure knitted from yarn stuffed with bran and adorned with fierce mustachios like a Spanish cavalier. This was Jock -- Tomy’s constant companion.
