H12881Good. Quarto full pebbled black leather good copy with recent black cloth covering spine some rubbing and edgewear to boards contents very good handsome printing INSCRIBED by Weil to his grandson Richard Allan Weil. 111 pp with transcriptions of the testimonial speeches and toasts menu and many pages of letters and telegrams received by a member of the dinner committee Maurice Falk testifying to Weil's rightfully large group of admirers: acquaintances fellow lawyers members of the Jewish community of Pittsburgh and beyond who celebrated his life and achievements. Weil was probably the most well known trial lawyer in Pittsburgh at the turn of the century. An article in the July 7 2020 Post-Gazette by Barbara Burstin recounts Weil's reform-minded politics and how he was able to direct the investigation into the city council of Pittsburgh and their corruption. "By June 1910 105 of the 155 councilmembers were accused of graft. Ninety-eight were indicted along with seven bankers. Many went to jail." He also was responsible for pushing through new charters that reduced city council to nine members and the school board to the same number and continued to uncover the corruption in the highest tiers of Pittsburgh's political class well into the 1920s. He died in 1938 at the age of 80. Letters received include one from Ida Tarbell. OCLC locates three copies: Pitt Hebrew Union College University of VA law library. unknown

Number 13 of 25 copies. 10x8" loose sheets 1 24pp. housed in black paper box signed and numbered by Kirchenbaum. 14 mounted or full page photographs of the American Museum of Natural History. Pages curled some scattered foxing. Very good. <br /> <br /> A very interesting artist's book from Portland area writer and visual artist and daughter of Susan Weil Sara Kirschenbaum b. 1959. Consists of short pieces both poem and prose accompanied by photographs of the American Museum of Natural History in New York. The verso of the title sheet credits help from artists Christopher Rauschenberg Kirschenbaum's half brother Jan Håfström and her mother Susan Weil. The surreal and at times grotesque historical photographs detail the building of exhibits of mammoths elephants and other large creatures. <br /> <br /> <br /> Kirschenbaum has been published in literary journals such as Tin House and has had art exhibitions in Portland and Lucerne Switzerland. She has collaborated with Weil on at least one other artist's book Cycles of Poems which is held by only the National Museum of Women in the Arts according to OCLC. As far as we can see this project is not held and we find little mention of it elsewhere. . Sara Kirschenbaum unknown

Jeanne Proust was born Jeanne Weil in 1849 from a Jewish family of the enlightened bourgeoisie. Much has been said about the intellectual complicity that united her with elder son. Marcel Proust who during his mother's lifetime wrote only <i>beautiful</i>things in the spirit of the time <i>Pleasures and Days</i> will not become the novelist of the <i>Search</i> until after the death his mother an event that has somehow freed his creation.
