196315769JLos Angeles: Chrislaw Productions 1963. Original 139 page final shooting script bradbound in blue printed studio wrappers. Signed on the title page in blue ink by the film’s star Henry Silva using his name as well as that of his character Johnny Cool. Accompanying is the screenplay creation archive belonging to the film’s producer Milton Ebbins consisting of 335 pages of drafts and rewrites used in creating the screenplay consisting of original ribbon typescript carbon typescript and typed pasteups. With extensive pencil rewrites corrections and commentary about the direction of the screenplay on many of the pages. Very good condition. Considered one of the classics of neo Film Noir the film was directed by William Asher and starred Henry Silva in the title role Elizabeth Montgomery Richard Anderson Jim Backus Joey Bishop Sammy Davis Jr. and Telly Savalas. The film tells the story of the lives and loves of Italian and American gangsters. A very strange and usual crime film that is even more remarkable in that director William Asher is best remembered for previously directing the largest number of episodes 107 of the great comedy classic - I Love Lucy. Filming Johnny Cool was a 180 degree turn for the director. An amazing archive showing in detail the details and lengths that were taken to craft the screenplay and such a collection is rarely found dealing with a significant film.

1879190151London: The London Printing and Publishing Company Limited 1879-81.

The Dublin-born writer and civil servant Robert Montgomery Martin c.1802-1868 wrote extensively on colonial matters "his life was dominated by a self-appointed task - the study of the British empire which Martin saw in terms of a vast free-trade area of new territories in allegiance to the British crown" ODNB. He had first-hand experience of India moving to Calcutta in 1828 as a surgeon where for a short time he edited the Bengal Herald. All of his writings were "influenced by his practical Christianity and by his association with leading intellectuals. He opposed duelling suttee and slavery advocated the abolition of flogging and was active in the work of the Aborigines Protection Society. At a time when some questioned the value of the empire Martin was its spokesman" favouring "a reformed colonial policy" ibid. 6 vols quarto. 100 steel-engraved plates with tissue guards of portraits views and battle scenes two double-page colour maps; title pages printed in red and black; letterpress printed in double columns. Original green sand-grain cloth over bevelled boards gilt lettered spines covers with ornamental panel in black to front covers and blind to back covers yellow-coated endpapers.
