1963968641963. Hardcover. Near Fine. Three composition books. Small quartos. Modest wear mostly near fine. Heavily illustrated by the artist Ben Talbert one of the most important artists in the Los Angeles circle that revolved around Wallace Berman and his publication Semina. Berman and his circle were at the forefront of avant-garde cultural and artistic experimentation on the West Coast in effect the western equivalent of Andy Warhol and his Factory workers with sensibilities representing the Beat and early counterculture movements.<br /> <br /> These notebooks are from Talbert's most important period and the most important period for his circle when he was directly influenced by and collaborating with Berman and most of the artworks presage Talbert's most cherished and representative themes - nudes intense sexuality S&M scenes and handwritten and illustrated plans for installations assemblages collages or sculpture. Several drawings and plans are initialed and dated although most are not as normal for sketchbooks.<br /> <br /> Related material laid in include several nude and mildly sexual photographs of Talbert and a woman named Gayle presumably his wife or girlfriend used by them as Christmas Greetings other clothed photographs of the couple a handmade Valentine from Gayle to Talbert several vintage color photographs of Talbert's framed work a couple of different invitations to memorial retrospectives of his works after his death in 1975 from a drug overdose at the age of 42 and several additional drawings by Talbert on a variety of different sizes of paper.<br /> <br /> The sketches ranging from fully detailed drawings to impressionistic nudes are executed in a variety of media: pencil pen and ink marker gouache colored pencil watercolor and a few in ball-point pen. There are 69 pages of reasonably fully executed drawings bound in plus an additional five laid in for a total of 74 pages of drawings. There are 21 pages of handwritten and illustrated plans for installations plus another two laid in for a total of 23 pages. There are about 14 pages of drawing exercises bound in where Talbert attempted to draw every conceivable object often more than a dozen objects to a page. There is one additional drawing mounted and used as a greeting card that we are reasonably certain is by Talbert as it is similar to his style and preferred subject matter a spurting penis but whose inscription: "Sam - Luv Tony" gives us pause.<br /> <br /> While the drawings are appealing and interesting the plans for Pop installations assemblages and sculptures are fascinating especially considering the time in which they were conceived. They include chastity-belts shaped and illustrated as police badges and many variations on altered televisions mostly with sexual twists and innuendos.<br /> <br /> Talbert's work was the subject of a retrospective exhibit at the Andrew Roth Gallery in New York in March of 2007. This is previously unrecorded material representing vital and important work for an overlooked but important artist in the most interesting period of his career. hardcover

1970822481970. Autograph letter signed by the founder of modern day Israel and first prime minister David Ben-Gurion. It reads "Sdeh. Boker 28. 2. 70 Dear Mr. George P. Viegelmann Jr. I share entirely your view that it is vitally necessary for everyone in the Middle East to live in peace. I am expressing a private view: I would be ready to give up a great Part of the areas which we hold since the six day war if this would bring peace; by peace I mean friendship with our Arab neighbors and cooperation politically economically and culturally but perhaps only Russia can bring this about. I even doubt whether the American Gov. can achieve that. In the future there may be a change in Egypt. David Ben-Gurion." This letter is a very unique piece of history particularly in regards to Israeli-Arab relations and the study of peace in general. While publicly Ben-Gurion was the undoubted leader in Zionism privately at the end of his life he began to have other opinions. He desired peace even if it meant giving up land that they had fought to obtain. Ben-Gurion's thoughts on peace in his latter years is corroborated by the recent documentary Ben-Gurion Epilogue. This movie features footage that was taken in 1968 and only recently discovered. In the footage he explains that Israel's moral compass was inexorably tied to its treatment of the non-Jews living under its rule. Double matted and framed opposite a photograph of Ben-Gurion. The entire piece measures 15 inches by 16.5 inches. David Ben-Gurion was the primary founder of the State of Israel and the first Prime Minister of Israel. Ben-Gurion's passion for Zionism which began early in life led him to become a major Zionist leader and Executive Head of the World Zionist Organization in 1946. As head of the Jewish Agency from 1935 and later president of the Jewish Agency Executive he was the de facto leader of the Jewish community in Palestine and largely led its struggle for an independent Jewish state in Mandatory Palestine. On 14 May 1948 he formally proclaimed the establishment of the State of Israel and was the first to sign the Israeli Declaration of Independence which he had helped to write. Ben-Gurion led Israel during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and united the various Jewish militias into the Israel Defense Forces. Subsequently he became known as "Israel's founding father." unknown books

194824454<p>In 1947 as the British mandate over Palestine established by the League of Nations in 1922 was about to expire the United Nations called for partition of Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states. Jewish leaders accepted the plan but Arab leaders announced that they would oppose its implementation by force. President Harry Truman had endorsed partition despite opposition within his administration. On March 19 1948 the U.S. shockingly reversed its position supporting partition; instead it called for a temporary United Nations trusteeship.</p><p>David Ben-Gurion as head of the Jewish Agency masterfully worked to contain the damage. Less than two months after writing this letter Ben-Gurion and the recipient of this letter Rabbi Judah Leib Fishman Maiman both would help draft and sign Israel's Declaration of Independence.</p> <b>DAVID BEN-GURION.</b>Autograph Letter Signed "<i>D. Ben-Gurion</i>" to Rabbi Yehuda Leib Fishman. March 23 1948 Israel. In Hebrew one page on The Jewish Agency for Palestine stationery. 8.5 x 11 in.<p><b>Translation</b></p><p><i>"Please convey to the Executive </i>of the Jewish Agency for Palestine <i>the following – As I was deprived of the possibility of taking part in the meetings of the Executive I ask to be allowed to appoint a member to be the head of Defence so that I can transfer this work from myself as soon as possible. I wish to point out that because of the remarks that were heard in the discussion of our answers to the American announcement I refer to the remarks of Golda Myerson and Kolotny I am of the opinion that paragraph 'C' should be changed by way of adding a demand for an immediate agreement that a temporary Government be formulated in accordance with the version that I gave to my Secretary Svi Marmion."</i></p><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>Ben-Gurion responded forcefully to the new American position in a statement to the Tel Aviv Press Club on March 20: "We shall not agree to any kind of trusteeship whether permanent or temporary even for the shortest time. We shall no longer submit to any foreign domination whatever. … The Jewish State exists and will continue to exist because we defend it. … our political program falls under three headings in the order I name them: security; a Jewish State; a Jewish-Arab alliance."</p><p>On March 22 Abba Hillel Silver on behalf of the Jewish Agency indicated that the Agency would not discuss the American proposal for trusteeship as it had not yet been submitted to the Security Council. The next day the Jewish Agency for Palestine and the National Council of Jews of Palestine Vaad Leumi issued a joint statement that Israel intended to proceed to independence.</p><p>Ben-Gurion was determined to strengthen their position by shaping his provisional government and making it clear that the Jewish state would come into being with or without international approval. Accordingly on March 25 Moshe Shertok Sharett sent the chairman of the U.N. Palestine Commission an urgent request for the establishment of a provisional government including a list of proposed members.</p><p>The <i>"'paragraph C'"</i> referenced in the present letter undoubtedly corresponds to a passage in either the March 23 or March 25 statements to the U.N. For the full final text of both see Appendices A and B below.</p><p>As noted the final wording was influenced by future Israeli prime minister Golda Meir and by Moshe Kolodny Kol. They may have been advocating for the wording that appeared in the third paragraph of the March 25 statement "the Provisional Council of Government thus designated be empowered in consultation with the United. Nations Commission to co-opt additional members representing groups both Arab and Jewish…" </p><p><b>Rabbi Judah Leib Fishman Maiman</b> 1875–1962 the recipient of this letter was born in Bessarabia and emigrated to Palestine in 1913. A renowned author and Talmudic scholar he was a founding member of Mizrachi. He helped draft Israel's Declaration of Independence and became Minister of Religions and War Victims. He served in the First Knesset until 1951.</p><p><b>APPENDIX A</b></p><p>STATEMENT ADOPTED BY THE JEWISH AGENCY FOR PALESTINE</p><p>AND THE NATIONAL COUNCIL OF THE JEWS OF PALESTINE</p><p>VAAD LEUMI MARCH 23 1948</p><p>The Jewish Agency for Palestine and the Vaad Leumi have learned with regret and astonishment of the attitude adopted by the United States representative in the Security Council concerning the United Nations decisions on Palestine.</p><p>The Jewish Agency and the Vaad Leumi declare:</p><p>1. The Jewish people and the Yichev in Palestine will oppose any proposal designed to prevent or postpone the establishment of the Jewish State.</p><p>2. We categorically reject any plan to set up a trusteeship regime for Palestine even for a short period of time. A trusteeship would necessarily entail a denial of the Jewish right to national independence. It would leave Palestine under a foreign military regime.</p><p>3. The failure and disintegration of the Mandatory administration the continuation of which was unanimously rejected by the United Nations necessitates the early arrival in Palestine of the United Nations Palestine Commission. The Provisional Council of Government of the Jewish State should be recognized without delay by the United Nations Palestine Commission so that authority may be transferred to it as envisaged in the United Nations decisions.</p><p>4. Upon the termination of the Mandatory administration and not later than May 16 next a provisional Jewish government will commence to function in cooperation with the representatives of the United Nations then in Palestine. In the meantime we shall do our utmost to minimize the chaos created by the present government and we shall maintain so far as lies in our power the public services neglected by it.</p><p>5. The Jewish people extends the hand of peace to the Arab people and invites representatives of the Arab population of the Jewish State to take their rightful place in all its organs of government. The Jewish State will be glad to cooperate with the neighboring Arab States and to enter into permanent treaty relations with them to strengthen world peace and to advance the development of all countries of the Near East.</p><p>After a bloody Arab-Israeli conflict following the British withdrawal the State of Israel was proclaimed in May 1948. Ben-Gurion was designated the first Prime Minister a position he held for the majority of the next fifteen years.</p><p><b>APPENDIX B</b></p><p>THE JEWISH AGENCY FOR PALESTINE</p><p>16 East 66th Street</p><p> New York 21 N.Y.</p><p>March 25 1948</p><p>The Chairman</p><p>United Nations Palestine Commission Lake Success New York</p><p>Sir:</p><p>In pursuance of the oral representations made by me to the Commission on March 17 on behalf of the Jewish Agency for Palestine and. the National Council of the Jews of Palestine Vaad Leumi concerning the appointment of a Provisional Council of Government for the Jewish State I have the honor now as a matter of urgency to reiterate the request that the Provisional Council of the Jewish State should be immediately established and that it be composed as follows:</p><p>Mr. David Ben-Gurion Mr. Itzhak Ben-Zvi</p><p>Mr. Fritz Bernstein Mr. Eliahu Berligne</p><p>Mr. Eliahu Dobkin Mr. Meyer Grabovski</p><p>Rabbi Judah Leib Fishman Mrs. Rachel Kagan</p><p>Rabbi Wolf Gold Mr. Abraham Katznelaon</p><p>Mr. Itzhak Greenbaum Saadia Khuvashi</p><p>Mr. Eliezer Kaplan Dr. Georg Landauer</p><p>Mr. Moshe Kolodni Mr. Evi Lurie</p><p>Mrs. Goldie Meyerson Mr. Nachum Nir</p><p>Mr. Moshe Shapiro Mr. David.

Included are representatives of the following parties and groups:</p><p>Palestine Labor Party Mapay</p><p>General Zionists</p><p>Mizrachi Orthodox Zionists</p><p>Hapoel Hamizrachl</p><p>Hashomer Hatzair</p><p>now merged.</p><p>Achditt Avoda</p><p>Aliya Hadasha</p><p>Wizo</p><p>Yemenites Organization</p><p>3. It is proposed further that the Provisional Council of Government thus designated be empowered in consultation with the United. Nations Commission to co-opt additional members representing groups both Arab and Jewish not at present included in the membership of the Jewish Agency for Palestine or the Vaad Leumi. Negotiations with this object in view have been successfully concluded with some Jewish groups and are still in progress with others.</p><p>4. Upon the appointment of the Provisional Council of Government it is suggested that the United Nations Palestine Commission should instruct the Provisional Council to proceed with the establishment of a central administrative organ of government as indicated in Article 7 of Part I B of the Resolution of the General Assembly.</p><p>5. I venture in conclusion to point out that under Article 4 of Part I B of the Resolution of the Assembly if by 1 April 1948 a Provisional Council of Government has not been set up the United Nations Palestine Commission will be under the obligation to communicate that fact to the Security Council. It is earnestly hoped that the need for the Commission to report failure in this respect will be obviated by the immediate appointment of the Provisional Council of Government of the Jewish State.</p><p>Sincerely yours</p><p>Moshe Shertok</p> books

19333623Pete Rice Magazine A very scarce and desirable western title. Pete Rice Magazine was one of several single character hero pulp titles published by Street & Smith. With a cover date of November 1933 for the first issue he appeared just eight months after Doc Savage appeared on the stands and nine months after Nick Carter. The title changed to Pete Rice Western Adventures with the September 1935 issue and continued as such until the end of the run. Austin Gridley was the Street & Smith house author that the Pete Rice stories appeared under however most were written by a pulp author named of Ben Conlon. In "Cheap Thrills" Ron Goulart describes the Pete Rice realm as "built around a cowboy with a coterie of distinctive sidekicks." In his book "The Pulp Western" John Dinan considered Pete Rice more a modern detective than your typical pulp fiction cowboy "as the crimes and circumstances surrounding them were modern and not particularly western e.g. counterfeiting." Nick Carr cites Link Huller as referencing telephones and cars popping up in the stories occasionally. Pete seemed to be stuck somewhere between the old west and the early 20th century. The first 26 issues had nice striking cover art by Walter Baumhofer. Starting with the January 1936 issue R.G. Harris took over and continued until the end of the run with the June 1936 issue. Pete Rice has traditionally been a very difficult run to put together and to obtain all 32 issues can be quite a daunting task.

194883909New York: Progressive Party 1948. Lithograph in colors 45" x 30". A Near Fine example with subtle cleaning and repair to margins. Professionally mounted on archival canvas. <br /> <br /> Shahn's most celebrated political poster created to support the Progressive Party's 1948 Presidential candidate Henry Wallace. The poster lampoons the Democratic and Republican candidates Dewey and Truman leaving the viewer to conclude that the two mainstream parties are indistinguishable partners in "the same old song and dance" leaving Wallace as the only viable candidate. The visual metaphor may have proved too subtle; only one of the Progressives' 114 candidates succeeded in winning a seat; Presidential candidate Wallace received only about 2% of the popular vote. 83909.

There are almost a million people in the United States who live in hospitals. for the mentally deranged Screenplay for Hitchcock's psychological thriller starring Ingrid Bergman and Gregory Peck released in 1944 to significant acclaim. The present script presents a version of the text featuring many revised sheets from the time that the screenplay was submitted for approval to the Motion Picture Association of America. The film is based on the 1927 novel by John Palmer and Hilary A. Saunders under the pseudonym Francis Beeding entitled The House of Dr. Edwardes. The script notes "'Spellbound' The House of Dr Edwardes" on the first leaf. The first page of text has the novel's title struck through and replaced by the title of the film. Hitchcock and his wife began working on a treatment of the novel in December 1943. Hitchcock hired Angus MacPhail to help a month later and Ben Hecht then wrote the screenplay. The opening titles of the film credit the screenplay by Hecht with "adaptation by" MacPhail.

"Hitchcock's Spellbound. was the director's most overt handling of psychological subject matter up to that time. Largely based on the theories of famed psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud and featuring a stunning set of dream sequences designed by the world's most renowned surrealist painter Salvador Dali Spellbound in many ways marked a new trajectory in Hitchcock's career" Cunningham.

196322066Nice: Self-Published 1963. First edition. Loose Sheets. Very Good. Rare collection of collages editions texts and multiples in printed folder. Created between 1962 and 1963 an early and scarce offering by Vautier sometimes just known as "Ben". Loose pages laid into folder. This copy retains only a small fragment of the 45 rpm record that was part of the edition. Edition size unknown. SIGNED by the artist on a card laid in at rear. This copy has also been hand-addressed by Vautier and mailed to fellow Fluxus artist Jackson Mac Low. Comparing this copy to the one held at Fondazione Bonotto it should be noted that there are several difference. Their copy has sheets not in this example and vice-versa. In fact given the ephemeral nature of this collection of objects it seems likely that there will be some differences in content between any two copies. Sold as-is. Quite rare and early offering from Vautier. <br/><br/> Self-Published unknown books

Verso of front free endpaper with bookplate of John R. Menzies. Carteret IV 140. ◆Spine lightly sunned one tiny spot on half title but A VERY FINE COPY clean fresh and bright internally and in a binding with no signs of wear.<br/> <br/> This is a strikingly bound deluxe copy of the first book produced by the French Orientalist painter Étienne Dinet and his Arabic teacher and closest friend Sliman ben Ibrahim. The text of three Saharan folktales related here by Sliman are illustrated with Dinet's sensuous watercolors and the whole is bound with great animation and skill by Otto Schulze of Edinburgh. Dinet and Sliman met in Algeria in 1889 when Sliman saved the painter from an ambush. Sliman accompanied Dinet to Paris in 1896 where he met the French Society of Oriental Painters and impressed them with both his character and his couscous. Sliman and Dinet also collaborated on a biography of Mohammed and an account of the Hajj they made after Dinet's conversion to Islam. The binding here is reminiscent of an Oriental carpet and echoes Dinet's beautiful designs used inside the book. Operating during the first 10 or 15 years of the 20th century Otto Schulze was an Edinburgh publisher whose books sometimes appeared in bindings said to have been done by him. As in the case of other publishers and booksellers such bindings often were done for rather than by the party whose name is stamp-signed on the volume. Bindings signed by Schulze are consistently attractive but are not common: since 1975 ABPC has listed six such morocco bindings two of them described as "elaborate" or "extra." Since our volume says that the binding is by--and not for--Schulze we can only assume that our publisher had an in-house binder. From 1906 until his death in 1935 our previous owner John R. Menzies was chairman of John Menzies & Co. founded in Edinburgh in 1833 by his father. The firm sold books magazines and newspapers becoming with W. H. Smith one of two major newsagents in the United Kingdom in the 20th century until bought out by its rival in 1990. H. Piazza et Cie unknown
1965952871965. Autograph letter signed by the founder of modern day Israel and first prime minister David Ben-Gurion. Addressed to Dr. Martin Rywell editor of Listen Magazine published in Harriman Tennessee the letter reads "Sdeh. Boker 22.6.65 Dear Dr. Martin Rywell Only the first part of the story you mention in your letter is true. I visited Burma in 1961. I met Prime Minister U Nu. We discussed Buddhism but the story about "a trick" is a pure invention. D. Ben-Gurion." The letter refers to Ben Gurion's two-week sojourn to Burma in 1961 which marked one of the longest official trips abroad for an Israeli prime minister. The first prime minister of Burma known honorifically as U Nu was a major figure among leaders of non-Western countries in the mid 20th century many of which had opposed Israel's establishment. In 1955 U Nu became the first foreign prime minister to visit the Jewish state a highly significant act of support which encouraged a mutually beneficial relationship between the two young governments. Double matted and framed with a photograph of Ben-Gurion. The entire piece measures 18 inches by 15 inches. Rare and desirable. David Ben-Gurion was the primary founder of the State of Israel and the first Prime Minister of Israel. Ben-Gurion's passion for Zionism which began early in life led him to become a major Zionist leader and Executive Head of the World Zionist Organization in 1946. As head of the Jewish Agency from 1935 and later president of the Jewish Agency Executive he was the de facto leader of the Jewish community in Palestine and largely led its struggle for an independent Jewish state in Mandatory Palestine. On 14 May 1948 he formally proclaimed the establishment of the State of Israel and was the first to sign the Israeli Declaration of Independence which he had helped to write. Ben-Gurion led Israel during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and united the various Jewish militias into the Israel Defense Forces. Subsequently he became known as "Israel's founding father." unknown books
