'The Chevalier Sir Frederick Bowman K.C.E.' 'Shakespeare Souvenir' pin badge depicting Bowman as the Bard of Avon attached to a Typed Letter Signed 'Frederick H.-U. Bowman' to Barry Duncan regarding the actress Edith Loraine and her career.

In fair condition lightly creased and aged. With a few autograph emendations. In a characteristically eccentric letter he writes that their common friend Jimmy Linton has told Bowman that Duncan 'may be able to give me some particulars and perhaps a photo of Edith LORAINE who played Godiva in F. B. Woulfe's Company presenting the famous historical play by Max Goldberg John F. Preston. He refers to Mabelle F. Barlow Lady Astor and his own play 'Divorce or Dishonour'. As a boy he was greatly impressed by Loraine's performance and it 'started my interest in Coventry. As President of The Animal Service Association I am still very attached to white horses. . Edith had a tragic finish on Armistice Night 1918 falling from a London balcony.' Badge: Circular and 2cm in diameter. Printed in brown on cream. In good condition with slight rusting to the metal reverse which has transferred slightly to the letter on which it is pinned. Showing 'SHAKESPEARE SOUVENIR A MAKE-UP IMRESSION FREDERICK H. U. BOWMAN'. Bowman also produced a series of fake postage stamps with him made up to look like the monarch. For more on Bowman see A. W. B. Simpson's 'In the Highest Degree Odious' 1994. Bowman received his 'knighthood' from Count Potocki de Montalk in March 1943 and was deprived of it the following year for alleged lèse majesté and breach of his oath of fealty. As the present letter indicates this did not prevent him from continuing to use his 'title'.

18371The Writers' Guild of Great Britain 430 Edgware Road London. Two items on Pulman's letterhead 31 Steele's Road London. 1968. Six items relating to Pulman's arbitration including 'a careful breakdown by him of scene continuity of the Bourguignon script the Duncan script and the final shooting script' these three breakdowns Items Two to Four below totalling 8pp. In his four-page arbitration Pulman gives a detailed account of the process of the film's composition of all the more interest as coming from a master screenwriter and contemporary. All six items in good condition lightly aged. ONE: Carbon copy of Pulman's signed four-page 'Arbitration - "GIRL ON A MOTORCYLE" Writers involved - S. Bourguignon Ronald Duncan Jack Cardiff Gillian Freeman'. A full description of the case in fourteen numbered sections giving a great deal of detail regarding the composition of the script beginning with a list of six 'writing stages' and Pulman's reasons for reaching his conclusion. He describes the film as 'a story done very much in the style of â€œUn Homme et Une Femmeâ€ using a very similar continuity of flashback and throught sic track'. On reading through the material presented to him Pulman found that 'one impression emerged clearer than ever â€“ that the final shooting script 6 differed very little from Bourguignon's adaptation which Cardiff says could â€œnever be used on a professional basis.â€ To see whether this impression was correct or not I made a careful breakdown of scene continuity of the Bouguignon script the Duncan script and the final shooting script and compared them. These are enclosed with this opinion.' The are Items Two to Four below. He does not 'believe that anyone comparing these breakdowns could come to any conclusion other than that the screenplay credit belongs niether sic to Cardiff nor Duncan but solely to Bourguignon'. Since Bourguignon 'seems to be claiming no credit' he proposes to amend the credit to: 'SCREENPLAY by S. Bourguignon. Additional Scenes by Ronald Duncan and Jack Cardiff.' TWO: Two-page typescript headed 'Continuity - BOURGIGNON sic'. Twenty-four points beginning with 'Rebecca rises from her husband's bed puts on her black suit takes her motorcycle and sets off to see her lover Daniel.' Last point: '24.

'The most perfect ode in the English language': Charles Wolfe Irish poet. Photographic facsimile of Autograph Letter Signed to John Taylor containing the text of his celebrated poem ‘The Burial of Sir John Moore at Corunna’.

24201With facsimile of postmark dated 6 September 1816. No place but from Ireland. The present item gives the text of the poem described by Byron as 'the most perfect ode in the English language' before its first publication in the Newry Telegraph in April 1817. See Wolfe’s entry in the Oxford DNB. The source of the present item is unclear. It is a photographic facsimile many decades old on both sides of a 4to leaf. In fair condition slightly creased on browned paper with negligible loss to margin at head. With five creases from folding. Addressed to ‘John Taylor Esqe / at the Revd Mr. Armstrong’s / Clonoully / Cashel’. A good photographic facsimile of an autograph letter with nothing in Wolfe’s actual hand. The photograph indicates some damage to the original letter from the opening of the seal resulting in loss of a few words. The letter begins without salutation: ‘I have completed the Burial of Sir John Moore & will here inflict it upon you; you have no one but yourself to blame for praising the two stanzas that I told you so much -’. Wolfe now gives a fair copy of his celebrated poem numbering the eight stanzas. Apart from accidentals the only variations from the version published a few months later are ‘lanthorn’ for ‘lantern’ and ‘struck the note’ for ‘struck the hour’. The first seven stanzas fill up the first side of the letter after the opening paragraph with the eighth on the reverse which carries the address and postmark and the following: ‘Pray write soon - you may direct as usaly to Colley & it will follow me to the Country. Give my love to Armstrong & Believe me / My Dear John / Ever Yours / Charles Wolfe / I again say Remember Constantine Elizabeth is to be drawn among them - You will pardon me for being particular about any message from that quarter.’ With facsimile of postmark dated 6 September 1816. No place (but from Ireland). unknown
