196874912New York: N.p. ca. 1968. Framed display of ten photographs depicting Hiram Keller and other members of the tribe including Diane Keaton; a few mostly nude. Dimensions: framed: 13 1/4 in. x 15 5/8 in. each black & white photograph: 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 in. Framed under glass.withTwo original photographs depicting Monique Van Vooren with variously undressed Hiram Keller. Monique Van Vooren inscribed one of the photographs to a friend Jaqueline Stone and ends with this rather wistful statement "P.s. You may recognize the background! The statue the lost love and all of that meant so much at one time." Dimensions of single photographs: glossy: 8 in. x 10 in. 7 in. x 9 3/4 in. Some surface scuffing but not egregious.An interesting group of ephemera relating to the quintessential 1960s musical Hair: The American Tribal Rock Musical. While Monique Van Vooren did not appear in Hair she apparently invested in the production and made quite a splash at the opening: "Monique Van Vooren the Belgian actress international sex symbol and theatrical investor has declared her intention of wearing her new transparent chiffon blouse by Yves Saint Laurent to the Broadway opening of Hair tomorrow evening. If Miss Van Vooren follows through there will be nothing such as a bra or a body stocking standing between her and any other first nighters who happen to be looking at her." She was a polymath of entertainment: She was a singer and released an album "Mink in HiFi" the cover of which showed her dressed in only diamonds and an off-the shoulder mink stole: She was a movie star; among her many roles was that of Baroness Frankenstein in Andy Warhol's "Flesh of Frankenstein": And she was a cabaret performer. Once when working at the Rainbow Room she decided one of her three male backup dancers Ronnie Walken needed a new name. “Why don’t you call yourself Christopher†she suggested. Mr. Walken has confirmed the exchange.At Van Vooren's request Hiram Keller was included in the Tribe "a group of politically active long-haired hippies of the 'Age of Aquarius' living a bohemian life in New York City and fighting against conscription into the Vietnam War." The Tribe also included a young Diane Keaton. Hiram Keller went on to star in a number of European movies most notably Satyricon. As this little grouping was from Monique Van Vooren's estate it is reasonable to suppose she and Hiram enjoyed each other's company. N.p. unknown

The novel is told through letters and tells of Julia's being torn between her true love St. Aubert and her obligations to the man whom she was forced to marry the Count du Montauban.

Edward D. Sullivan of Mount Vernon WA. It is an octavo in size and has 64 pp. Publisher's wrappers with a Biblical scene in gilt on front. It is about the coming troubles and the changes they will bring. From the introduction: "The catastrophic plunge the world is about to take has been its destiny from the start. It is the divine growing to maturity. It is the drama of the Mystery Schools of yesteryear. It is the resurrection of the ancient gods and the glory of Christ on Easter Sunday"On the final leaf of Sullivan's book is a list of other books written by Fr. Sullivan The third book listed is From Nostradamus to the Apocalypse; "Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerick 1824 prophesied that toward the end several men would unlock the secrets of the Apocalypse. This book reveals Father Sullivan to be one of these men."The title of the journal is the Hebrew word for "Ark." This was the organ of the Holy Order of the Rose and Cross HORC "an esoteric religious order of Catholics." They claim a direct relationship with the Liberal Catholic Church. On the inner front cover of the last three issues of The Ahron we find first a description of the Liberal Catholic Church itself in actuality an offshoot of theosophy: "It traces its episcopal succession to the Old Catholic Church of Holland and came into existence as the result of a complete reorganization in 1915-16 of the Old Catholic movement in Great Britain." This is the organization founded by Theosophy kingpins C. W. Leadbeater and J. I. Wedgewood. Underneath that description is a separate description of the Holy Order of the Rose and Cross. The journal carried articles on Jacob Boehme; the symbolism and meaning of the liturgy; kabbalah; Aleister Crowley and the "Thelemite Church" and their lack of genuine Apostolic Succession; the quest for a world religion as envisioned by Bishop C.W. Leadbeater; Pico della Mirandola; women in the episcopate; "The Unified Theory of Chiropractic"; etc. and "News in the Church" on the activities of various associated ecclesiastics and churches.

1844ST17129-034London: Illuminated and published by A. Prichard Harrison and Son 1844. FIRST EDITION. 284 x 225 mm. 11 1/8 x 8 3/4". 17 printed leaves preceded by 3 leaves and followed by 44 leaves of illuminated manuscript. <br/> Handsome contemporary crimson straight grain morocco by C. Cross Binder to the Queen stamp-signed on verso of front free endpaper covers with gilt French fillet border raised bands flanked by multiple plain gilt rules spine with gilt titling turn-ins densely gilt marbled endpapers all edges gilt. With illuminated gouache title page and dedication EIGHT FULL-PAGE GOUACHE ILLUSTRATIONS including a dramatic depiction of St. George slaying the dragon AND 37 LEAVES EMBLAZONED WITH 726 COATS OF ARMS ALL OF THE ILLUSTRATIONS DONE BY HAND AND HEIGHTENED WITH GOLD. Front pastedown with engraved armorial bookplate of Henry Drummond and with a manuscript letter to Drummond from A. P. Harrison postmarked 1844 tipped in at front. ◆A few very faint scratches on back cover the printed portion with faint overall browning because of paper stock used otherwise A SUPERB COPY the attractive binding quite lustrous and virtually unworn and the illuminated portion with its brilliant colors and gold entirely intact.<br/> <br/> This is an exceedingly rare and beautifully executed item that combines a printed list with a group of full-page paintings and the hand-painted arms many of them minutely figured of those personages who from its founding by Edward III in 1348 through 1844 had been elevated to membership in the Order of the Garter. Inclusion in this order of chivalry is the highest of the honors bestowed by the British sovereign and is restricted at any given time to just 24 persons. Members include those chosen for their distinctive services to the crown as well as supernumerary members encompassing the British royal family and foreign monarchs. There are 719 members listed in the register here and an additional seven knights and their shields are added on the final illustrated page of the register. In 2008 Prince William became the 1000th Knight of the Garter. The name of the order according to tradition is taken from an incident at the court of Edward III in which the Countess of Salisbury lost one of the garters holding her hose to the amusement of onlookers. The king gallantly retrieved it and tied it to his own leg chiding the courtiers "Honi soit qui mal y pense" "Shame upon him who thinks evil upon it" which became the motto of the order. Our volume in addition to depicting the coats of arms of all recipients of the order through 1844 contains full-page illustrations of the insignia of the order a blue garter with the motto emblazoned in gold encircling the arms of England and surmounted by a coronet of St. George patron saint of the Order and of England slaying the dragon the badge and collar worn by Knights of the Garter on formal occasions a portrait of Edward III after that in St. George's Chapel and a knight of the order in full regalia including the garter worn below the left knee. This appears to be a most unusual item: we could find no copies listed in OCLC or ABPC and only one in COPAC the UK's National Academic & Specialist Library Catalogue. A later version was issued by publisher J.C. Hotten in 1872 but even that is located by OCLC in only six libraries. Our copy comes from the collection of and may have been specially prepared for Henry Drummond English banker politician and writer whose related work "Histories of the Noble British Families with Biographical Notices of the Most Distinguished Individuals in Each" was published by Pickering in 1842-46 in two giant folio volumes.

1915ST17129-042Chicago: Written and Illuminated for The Renaissance Society ca. 1915. 216 x 153 mm. 8 1/2 x 6". ii 28 pp. 1 leaf colophon. Single column 18 lines in an attractive calligraphic hand. <br/> VERY PRETTY VIOLET CRUSHED MOROCCO GILT AND INLAID for The Renaissance Society stamp-signed in gilt on front doublure smooth spine with gilt titling FULL MOROCCO DOUBLURES consisting of a green morocco panel framed by purple morocco with gilt dots and scrolling floral motifs at each corner each with an inlaid white morocco flower cream-colored watered silk endleaves. In a lavender buckram chemise and matching purple morocco-backed slipcase with raised bands and gilt lettering. With many one-line initials in pink each leaf with a different two- to four-line initial in a different style with both painted and gilt elements and exuberantly decorated most leaves with a panel or "L"-shaped border ranging from simple lines to elaborate decorative bars a few borders with small landscapes and a total of FOUR FIGURAL SCENES decorative title page with colorful initials lettering and decorative flourishes text beginning with A HALF-PAGE MINIATURE OF ST. JEROME AT HIS DESK surrounded by A FULL BORDER of flowers gilt detailing and stylized heads of putti all by Louis Bauhan. Front free endpaper with bookplate of Phoebe Boyle. Leather with a slight chalky appearance silk endleaves starting to fray at fore edge a few leaves with a hint of waviness but THE MANUSCRIPT IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION the vellum entirely clean and the paint especially bright and fresh.<br/> <br/> Exuberantly decorated by a major illustrator of the period this manuscript was commissioned and bound for The Renaissance Society of Chicago before making its way into the superb collection of American bibliophile Phoebe Boyle. The text here comes from a poem by "Atlantic Monthly" writer and editor Thomas Bailey Aldrich 1836-1907 imagining the agony and the ecstasy of St. Jerome as he sat down to write his translation of the Bible. The illumination though certainly inspired by the decorative programs of Medieval manuscripts is decidedly modern in appearance drawing on the Art Nouveau movement and utilizing bold color combinations and whimsical design motifs. It is not clear why the illustrator here Louis Bauhan 1855-1941 has used the ananym "Siuol Na-Huab" because there is no reason to hide responsibility for producing the clean elegant script the imaginative marginal decoration and the finished human and animal images that enliven the manuscript. Bauhan was a very successful painter and illustrator perhaps best known to the public as art editor of "Cosmopolitan Magazine" under John Brisben Walker who edited and published the magazine from 1889 to 1905. In 1881 Bauhan helped to found the Kit-Kat Club of New York a bohemian artists' and cultural association; he was persistently in demand as a book illustrator; and among other things he painted landscapes and portraits in oil. The colophon here states that the manuscript was written and illuminated for The Renaissance Society--an artistic group associated with the University of Chicago whose mission was to cultivate and promote modern art--and it was given an appropriately luxurious binding by the same organization. The manuscript was obviously valued highly enough to join the collection of Phoebe A. D. Boyle a client George Sutcliffe described as "rivalling the Medici in her patronage of the production of beautiful books." Shepherd "The Cinderella of the Arts" p. 63 Stephen Ratcliffe describes the Boyle collection as "unrivalled" for its jewelled bindings and modern illuminated manuscripts and any book from the Boyle collection which was put together with the greatest taste and discrimination is recognized as desirable beyond its intrinsic literary merit.
