1939002577Various: By the authors 1939. First Edition. Very good. Comprised of three letters and a manuscript memoir the archive covered three continents and intertwined the lives of royals reformers and exiles. Nina Cornelia Mitchell 1854 - 1958 was an activist and an ardent relief worker in Europe during and after the First World War. She was also the first cousin of author and artist Miss Violet nee Serena Catherine Dandridge with whom she lived in the historic "Rosebrake" mansion in Shepherdstown West Virginia after her return to the United States. Paul Underwood Kellogg 1879 - 1958 was a social reformer journalist and co-founder of the American Civil Liberties Union. He was the editor of "Survey" magazine which he had managed to turn into the country's leading social work journal in a very short period of time. Mitchell had been visiting her friends - Prince Aleksandr Eristov Georgian Lieutenant-Genaral and his wife who were living in exile in Paris when she met Count Piotr Vassilievich Hendrikov former Governor of the Orel Province and brother of Countess Anastasiia Hendrikova Lady of Honor to Empress Aleksandra Feodorovna. He gave Nina a memoir written first in Russian and then in French to translate and write into English. Through his sister's stories and his personal visits to the Romanov family Hendrikov was intimately familiar with the sovereigns' lives and suffered through their assasinations which included his sister's. The memoir emotional and painful to read revealed some lesser known facts about Nicholas' family. Hendrikov stated that although Aleksandra was thought to be cold and aloof she was in reality just profoundly shy. He also gave examples of the Emperor's love and compassion for his people including an instance when having been presented with new war equipment for the infantry he feared it would be too heavy for his soldiers so he strapped it on and walked 15 kilometers to test it. The narrative followed the family's daily life before and after their arrests their work their devotion to each other the births of the children and their coping with son Aleksei Nikolaevich' terrible disease. Later on Hendrikov described Nicholas' abdication the reaction of the people the exile and the terrible treatment the family received from their guards his meetings with representatives of Duma and finally their murders together with those of the closest to them people court and servants who had followed them through the last year of their lives. In her first letter to Kellogg Mitchell gave the prehistory of the memoir asked him to read it and possibly assist with finding a publisher for it mentioned her better understanding of the situation in Russia and inquired about getting a subscription to the "Survey" for her friend Helen Pendleton. In his response Kellogg promised to read the papers told Mitchell he would love to hear about her work in Europe and confirmed Helen Pendleton's subscription to his magazine. In Nina's second and last letter she stated she would await the editor's criticism of the memoir talked about her friends the Eristovs and invited the Kelloggs to visit her in the "City of the Shepherds in the Valley of the Daugther of the Stars." - Two ALS signed by Nina Cornelia Mitchell dated July 18 1939 and August 14 1939; 6 1/2 x 5 and 7 x 5 1/2; pp. 12 and 4 respectively; off-white textured stock black ink and red pencil; light age-toning; two rust spots from removed paper clips; very good condition. - Typed letter by Paul Kellogg dated July 19 1939; 11 x 8 1/2; single sheet text to recto only; small handwritten note in pencil; a few nicks and chips to edges; good condition. - Manuscript memoir in two parts; 11 1/2 x 8 1/2 and 9 3/4 x 8 1/4; loose sheets pp. 13 and 16 respectively; text to recto only; the first part a bit fragile with several small nicks to corners; overall in very good condition.

1990182787Tate Gallery 1990. Softcover. VG minimal shelf wear all pages clear and intact. Green paper stapled wraps with black lettering pp. 273-288 color illustrations. "Wright's Account Book includes many references to frames. This exhibition devoted to his work presents an opportunity to examine the frame designs prevailing during his career as well as those with which he was particularly associated. Prior to their arrival for the exhibition 108 of the 117 picture frames have been assessed. A further 36 frames on works by Wright not included in this exhibition have been studied. The survey thus comprises 144 frames representng well over a third of all his recorded paintings. These may be classified accordingly. First those considered original to the picture; second those which are stylistically contemporary but probably not orignal; third those of a distinctly earlier or later period than the picture. Results are summarized by style and status in the tab;e opposite. The most significant fact to emerge two centurues later is that just over half of Wright's paintings in this survey still appear to retain the frames originally made for them. It is perhaps Wright's provincialism which accounts for this relatively high ratio. Many of his pictures are at their most vulnerable to re-framing and those mainly in recent decades as Wright's art has been re-assessed. As well as general appreciation of the subject this study hopefully will encourage the spectator to contemplate the picture together with its frame ans assess their relative merits" - quoted from Introduction.
