218559Japan. Twenty one postcards 5 in colour the rest black and white photographic images. Some occasional spotting and browning light wear edges and one creased in places. Presented in a slightly chipped black lacquer box. Overall the collection is in fair to good condition. An interesting miscellaneous collection of twenty one Japanese postcards in a black lacquer box mostly dating from the 1910s and 1920s. Fourteen of these show scenes from a large Japanese military training exercise held in November 1919. Each card has a commemorative stamp of the Army Training Exercise and its date November 1919.

Two other cards are New Year's greeting cards one of them dated 1939 and rather curiously written in Russian although it appears to have been sent from one Japanese man to another. Perhaps the most interesting in the collection is a postcard from Crown Prince Hirohito's 1921 visit to England which shows the Crown Prince shaking hands with one of Lloyd George's grandchildren although the scene is completely stolen by another small grand-daughter who stands in the middle of the photograph completely ignoring the presence of the Crown Prince.

He founded the periodicals "New Writing" and "The London Magazine" and the publishing house of John Lehmann Limited. Born in Bourne End Buckinghamshire the fourth child of journalist Rudolph Lehmann and brother of Helen Lehmann novelist Rosamond Lehmann and actress Beatrix Lehmann he was educated at Eton and read English at Trinity College Cambridge. He considered his time at both as "lost years". At Trinity Lehmann had a passionate relationship with Virginia Woolf's nephew Quentin Bell. After a period as a journalist in Vienna he returned to England to found the popular periodical New Writing 193640 in book format. This literary magazine sought to break down social barriers and published works by working-class authors as well as educated middle-class writers and poets. It proved a great influence on literature of the period and an outlet for writers such as Christopher Isherwood W. H. Auden Edward Upward and miner-author B. L. Coombes. Lehmann included many of these authors in his anthology Poems for Spain which he edited with Stephen Spender. With the onset of the Second World War and paper rationing New Writing's future was uncertain and so Lehmann wrote New Writing in Europe for Pelican Books one of the first critical summaries of the writers of the 1930s in which he championed the authors who had been the stars of New WritingAuden and Spenderand also his close friend Tom Wintringham and Wintringham's ally the emerging George Orwell. Wintringham reintroduced Lehmann to Allen Lane of Penguin Books who secured paper for The Penguin New Writing a monthly book-magazine this time in paperback. The first issue featured Orwell's essay "Shooting an Elephant". Occasional hardback editions combined with the magazine Daylight appeared sporadically but it was as Penguin New Writing that the magazine survived until 1950. He joined Leonard and Virginia Woolf as managing director of Hogarth Press between 1938 and 1946. He then established his own publishing company John Lehmann Limited with his novelist sister Rosamond Lehmann who had a nine-year affair with one of Lehmann's contributing poets Cecil Day-Lewis. They published new works by authors such as Jean-Paul Sartre and Nikos Kazantzakis and discovered talents like Thom Gunn and Laurie Lee. Lehmann edited two anthologies of new writing entitled Orpheus: A Symposium of the Arts 194849. He also published the first two books by the cookery writer Elizabeth David A Book of Mediterranean Food and French Country Cooking. He published two of Denton Welch's posthumous works: A Voice Through a Cloud for which he supplied the title 1950 and A Last Sheaf 1951. This publishing house published several book series including the Chiltern Library the Holiday Library the Modern European Library and the Library of Art and Travel. It operated from 19461953. In 1954 he founded The London Magazine remaining as editor until 1961 following which he was a frequent lecturer and completed his three-volume autobiography Whispering Gallery 1955 I Am My Brother 1960 and The Ample Proposition 1966. In The Purely Pagan Sense 1976 is an autobiographical record of his homosexual life in England and pre-war Germany discreetly written in the form of a novel. He also wrote the biographies Edith Sitwell 1952 Virginia Woolf and her World 1975 Thrown to the Woolfs 1978 Rupert Brooke 1980 and Christopher Isherwood. A Personal Memoir 1987. His book Three Literary Friendships 1983 deals with the relationships between Lord Byron and Percy Shelley Arthur Rimbaud and Paul Verlaine Robert Frost and Edward Thomas. In 1965 he published Christ the Hunter a spiritual/autobiographical prose poem which had been broadcast in 1964 on the BBC Third Programme. In 1974 Lehmann published a book of poems The Reader at Night hand-printed on handmade paper and hand-bound in an edition of 250 signed copies Toronto Basilike 1974. An essay by Paul Davies about the creation of this book is included in Professor A.T. Tolley's collection John Lehmann: A Tribute Ottawa; Carleton University Press 1987 which also includes pieces by Roy Fuller Thom Gunn Charles Osborne Christopher Levenson Jeremy Reed George Woodcock and others. John Lehmann died in London on 7 April 1987 aged 79. Wikipedia paperback

195960933Portland OR & Seattle WA: Smith 1959. Ten RPPC silver gelatin photographs all w/ description and inventory number w/in negative at lower fore-edge slight age toning very slight edgewear still VG. A nice set of 10 souvenir RPPC’s shot during the 100 day run of the Oregon Centennial Exposition. The 1859-1959 Centennial Exposition lasted from June 10 to Sept. 17 on 65 acres along the Columbia River formerly Vanport wiped away in the tragic 1948 flood and also featured a Gayway Amusement Park Garden of Tomorrow & Adventureland. The Exposition featured everything from Mossman’s Can-Can girl revue to steam locomotives Modernist sculptures and murals by Louis Bunce and other Oregon artists and the striking Hall of Religious History in the Garden of Tomorrow which featured murals of Carl Morris. This re-created town from the 1870’s Old West featured the Golden Nugget dance hall & saloon as well as livery stable church post office and hotel and proved to be the most successful attraction. The Oregon Centennial only attracted about 1.5 million visitors and largely operated at a loss which encouraged the nascent Seattle World’s Fair organizers to strip out their Western theme and focus instead on their later very successful Century 21 futurism theme.
