192920390New York: The Longacre Press Inc 1929. First edition. Hardcover. String ties. Paper pastedown. Cloth spine. Near Fine. Promotional souvenir program for a transitional Griftith film -- shot originally as a silent re-shot with some sound including most notably songs by Irving Berlin. 4to. 31 by 22.5 cm. Unpaginated 18 leaves. This Griffith film despite rave reviews was not a success at the box office despite the talent associated with it. It also catapulted Lupe Velez to stardom briefly and a personality whose antics became dependable fodder for the press. The story is one in which the male lead William Boyd is cast aside by his girlfriend and resolves that he could find a more suitable lover off the street which he does when he connects with a singer at a sleazy bar played by Velez. Boyd a popular Silent Era romantic lead would suffer a setback in the early sound era but resurrect his career and fortune in a series of Westerns in which he played Hopalong Cassidy. "Lady of the Pavements" may have been a disappointment commercially but one would not know that from this souvenir which is an object of real beauty with its textured wallpaper-like pastedown on the front cover -- the paper used looks like a premium Japon -- its thick glossy leaves its lavish photos and Art Deco illustrations and decoration. Some photos have touches of tinting although they are from full color. And much of the ornamental decoration on the page is in color. One could say that the souvenir expressed something of the ambition of the film-makers but the constraints of early sound severely constrained what they could have done otherwise temporarily reversing some of the breakthroughs in terms of movement and artistry achieved in the Silents made just a year or two earlier. Condition: edgewear tothe cover with slight loss of the paper pastedown upper front corner. A few leaves have a small corner dampstain which is only really conspicuous on one leaf and a relatively trivial issue even on that leaf. Otherwise clean and bright. And we will also note the color on the pastedown paper is very bright as well which often not the case with this publication. The Longacre Press, Inc hardcover

1950D7341Worsthorne Lancashire c. 1950. Hardcover. Fine. Black white red and gilt decorative Christmas paper over boards; 185 x 273 mm; pp. 83 handwritten in ink with more than 20 drawings and watercolors including vignettes decorative flourishes and full-page scenes. A florid orderly feminine hand records a very personal account of her childhood memories and family history composed in hindsight and lamenting "the present world. of H. Bombs Nuclear Tests Atomic Secrets Radioactivity planes hurling through the air with deafening noise. The levity of my sketch Wordsorth forgive for like you 'Have I not reason to lament what man has made of man'" She also references "peace time" making it clear that she has some familiarity with war and this is perhaps why the entire volume is a careful balancing act between a retreat to the past told cheerfully as though to a child and a more somber rumination on her present. The artwork is invariably accomplished -- ranging from lovely floral themes animals portraits of children and one of Queen Elizabeth landscapes and family houses to somewhat fantastical renderings of human forms floating in the air. She also carefully draws and colors two pictorial maps of locales she recalls from her youth and tips on 2 photographs b/w silver gelatin prints of her grandmother's shawl and bonnet and 1 photograph of a broadside advertising the auction of her uncle's John Crowther sheep and sheep dogs. John her fathers younger brother died in 1887 after being struck by lightning. The family sells his home Jacksons House in Worsthorne in 1888 and moves north leaving their convent education for the Home Farm of Ormrod House belonging to her great grandmother. Photographs were printed in Cheriton Folkestone. Locations on her maps include the River Douglas Rufford Parbold Lathom House Ormskirk Scarisbrick Hall Ainsdale Birkdale Crossens Greeves Hall and more.
