The Singer Sewing Machine company developed special Singer Sewing Academia in Argentina Mexico and many other South American countries as well as Spain between the World Wars. These special private schools for professional dressmakers using the Singer manuals allowed female-owned dressmaking businesses to grow and create professional spaces separte from men. In addition these academias allowed women to pay by the class and embroidery was one of the advanced skills which commanded higher wages for women at the time. Singer actively encouraged this movement in order to develop home-based businesses and academias which in turn increased their sales of sewing machines. The sample book begins with a number of decorative types of embroidery stitches monograms and then displays floral patterns spider-web patterns laces a beautifully embroidered red roses and carnations on purple silks and satins.

21925From Brockwood Park Bramdean Hampshire and Ojai California. Between 1978 and 2008. A total of twenty-eight items of correspondence comprising: nineteen Autograph Letters Signed two on the backs of cards two Typed Letters Signed and seven Autograph Cards Signed. In good condition. All signed 'Mary' and the large part addressed to 'Christopher' with a few to 'Kit' and one to 'Dear Phyl i.e. Fry's wife Phyllis dear Christopher'. The correspondence indicates a deep affection and long-standing intimacy. In 1987 she transcribes entries from her diary of 1958 regarding dinners in Rome between the Frys and Zimbalists while Fry was working on the script of the film 'Ben Hur' which Sam Zimbalist produced commenting: 'it is startling to find how these pale ink lines evoke us then – almost 20 sic years ago'. Later in the letter she states: 'I wish I could have seen the tv broadcast of The Lady and hope you have a video recording of it. It is like wanting to again hear the English language rising and thundering like winter surf and pure as a Bach prelude. Since Christopher Fry this does not happen these days.' In 1997 she writes: 'So many things hovered in my head all night some of them reaching back to Italian summer days when you and Phyl and Sam and I were together. An unbroken line began then for me of feeling whenever I was with Phyl and you that all was well with the world. That has continued ever since – something wondrously enduring.' And in 2000 she tells him that hearing his news 'is a sort of centre of gravity'. Topics include: her pleasure in his messages and calls texts he has sent her 'What you have said about death and love touches so many things I feel profoundly and the eloquence is no less than the truth.' her admiration for his work 'Language is such a root of human understanding. Other writers seem to be stuttering alongside the eloquence of your plays. Your language unfolds in breadth in splendour a music of the mind. It is as if you are creating language of a different order new and yet with its original and intrinsic meaning freed.' her travels her health in 1988: 'I seem to be hobbling about with little grace but ground-covering success' the taking of vitamins a centenarian's death. In 1999 she comments on a list of 'Krishnamurti books' she is sending him concluding by noting that 'Krishnamurti's Notebook' is 'one that is not personal for a time a daily recording of consciousness. In it he notes the curious physical pain he called “the processâ€. It had begun with extreme severity in 1922 after a spiritual experience that altered his life and continued to manifest from time to time with differing intensity. He did not consider it as physical illness but as having to do with perceptive ability. He never took anything to mitigate or affect it and seldom spoke of it.' From Brockwood Park, Bramdean, Hampshire, and Ojai, California. Between 1978 and 2008. unknown

1920nc1425Corrard Pierre Modes et manières d'aujourd'hui, Sélection Abraxas-libris Inconnu 1920 "UNE PROVENANCE EXCEPTIONNELLE. UN EXEMPLAIRE SANS ÉQUIVALENT. AN EXCEPTIONAL ORIGIN. AN UNPRECEDENTED COPY. très exemplaire de cette chemise de la collection ""Modes et manières d'aujourd'hui"", la publication du meilleur de la mode du début du XXe siècle, par les artistes l'ayant faite, au plus haut de leur art. Le projet est porté par Pierre Corrard, écrivain et éditeur de grand talent. Afin d'accompagner la révolution artistique et vestimentaire des années folles, il publie, en 1912, une première chemise, avec des illustrations de Georges Lepape. Devant l'accueil fait à cette première publication, il décide, chaque année, de proposer une chemise identique, avec des auteurs et des artistes différents. En 1920, c'est Robert Bonfils et Gérard d'Houville qui vont fournir à Pierre Corrard les éléments pour réaliser la chemise annuelle. Cette chemise se présente comme toutes les autres de la série : sous un cartonnage fort, dont le premier plat est frappé des seuls titres et années, avec, en son centre, une illustration couleurs, les planches prennent place dans un ensemble de quatre rabats fait du même papier que celui illustrant la contre garde, et dont le motif a été dessiné par l'artiste réalisant les planches intérieures. L'ouvrage, en feuilles, débute par une page de titre reprenant l'illustration de couverture. Puis viennent les pages proposant le texte, et, après le colophon, les planches illustrées. Un soin tout particulier est apporté à la réalisation de ces planches, de la gravure au passage des pochoirs. La provenance de notre exemplaire est exceptionnelle : il provient directement de la famille Corrard. Stocké dans leur résidence, notre exemplaire est dans un état presque parfait, tel que sorti de chez l'imprimeur. Il est même encore sous son papier cristal d'origine. Il est bien complet des rubans et des rabats de chemise (qui, hélas, très fragiles, manquent ou sont très abîmés sur les exemplaires courants). Les nôtres sont intacts, parfaits et magnifiques même si le ruban n'est plus attaché au 4° plat. Bien qu'il date de plus de 100 ans, il est quasi comme neuf, si ce n'est le travail du temps sur le papier (petites piqûres sur les plats). Notre exemplaire est un des 271 exemplaires numérotés sur Papier vélin d'Arches (sur un tirage total à 300 exemplaires). Livraison a domicile (La Poste) ou en Mondial Relay sur simple demande."
