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

Morin Paris who specialized in producing blank scrapbooks for factory sample cards printing & stationery registers w/ label mounted on front pastedown worn rubbing spine perished hinges loosed somewhat shaken still a remarkable unsophisticated exemplar preserved in folding case. This exceptional Victorian fabric sample order book assembled by a buyer for C.F Hovey & Co.’s fall fashion season furnishes an invaluable time capsule of colours textures and preferences in the 1870s. This era in women’s fashion driven by Parisian and other European design houses demanded extraordinary amounts of fabrics with an emphasis on the back of the skirt long trains and fabric draped up into bustles with an abundance of flounces and ruching. More significantly there was a tremendous growth in patterned poplin fabrics bright cotton & silk fabric blends as well as brilliant jewel colours. This order book with hundreds of different samples also offers a fantastic peek into the Victorian obsession with tartans and plaids driven by the mystique and example of Queen Victoria the ever-growing popularity with the historical romances of Sir Walter Scott celebrating the Highlanders and the poetry of Robert Burns. Tartan and plaid patterns were used in gowns dresses shawls veils hats purses and many fashion houses would often choose a particular clan pattern to celebrate and promote in their sales literature. Men’s suits coats and jackets were buttoned high on the chest the woolens became lighter weight and more durable as well of better quality and fashion designers for Hovey & Co. also incorporated rough finish woolens twills and tweeds into their clothing offered for sale. Many of the fabrics were also sold in Hovey & Co. fabric department in assorted lengths as well as ends for uses by Victorian women in home craft projects. Johnson focused on buying in the major wholesale textile dealers and markets of Europe during the 1870s including Stavert Tigomala & Co. one of the largest textile commission houses in Bradford UK; Firth Booth & Co. who specialized in bright cotton poplin plaids tartans wool blends and moire; Chamberlin Donner & Co. of Manchester one of the largest wholesale merchant houses shippers & traders in the British Empire; A. Van Bergen & Co. in Paris France whose beautifully patterned cotton and silk blends and woolens were enhanced by the award-winning dyes of Blanche at Puteaux; Les Fils de Th. Le Grand with wool blends twills and rough finish woolens. The sizes of the orders were remarkable and show the strength of Hovey’s customer base with one pair of invoices showing orders from Firth Booth & Co. totaling £ 7785 or over £ 855000 in present day value. However as evidenced by letter from Charles Kretschmann in Berlin who notes that Johnson in his June 24 1874 visit was “not pleased with the Berlin style of garments for this season and ordered only a very small lotâ€C.F. Hovey & Co. was founded by Charles Fox Hovey in 1833 as a dry goods merchant and with in a few years became a large department store located on Summer St. Through the years up to his death in 1859 he brought on many partners and was an ardent abolitionist and supporter of women’s rights establishing the Hovey Fund. After his death in 1859 Thomas Mack and Augustus De Puyster took over the running of the company and expansion through the Civil War. Johnson 1839-1927 was a Harvard grad clerk for Hovey & Co. and Civil War Veteran who rose from 1st Lieutenant in Co. H. Massachusetts 44th Infantry to Full Adjutant before mustering out right before Gettysburg. Hovey & Co. survived the massive fire of 1872 by employees soaking all the woolen blankets on the sales counters in water and placing over the roof and windows to protect the building from the flowing cinders expanded into store fronts on Chauncy and Avon Streets and was the first retailer to adopt the policy of requiring monthly payments on credit accounts.

From my early recollections as a merchant tailor I had experience of the same kind but could find no work published that met this demand.I decided to compile a work that should cover the scientific production of unusual garments worn by men and in 1898 decided to publish such a work at a later date." - from the "Author's Preface".</p> Minneapolis: Welander's Cutting School and Tailor Institute, circa [1900]. paperback
