193120448London: Leadley 1931. First and Limited Edition. Quarter Vellum Portfolio. Paper pastedown on boards. Very Good Plus. Max Beerbohm. No. 716 of 900 copies in the limitation. Beerbohm's inimitable caricatures of the six leads in Noel Coward's hugely successful 1929 operetta which in its first West End run ran from 1929 to 1931. Besides Coward himself who multi-tasked as he often did writing the libretto the music and the lyrics as well as starring in the production other performers captured by Beerbohm include a young Peggy Wood George Metaxa Ivy St. Helier and Charles Cochran. The large portfolio is 41 by 29 cm. There are eight leaves all of substantial card stock housed loose under the three flaps within: a title leaf a Contents leaf and then six large folded sheets each with a plate within. The first plate is a facsimile of a handwritten note of Beerbohm regarding the musical production then one folded sheet for each of the subjects of Beerbohm's deft pen. The caricatures are mounted and although printed they could almost pass as the original artwork. They are each 33by 23 cm. The plates are all Fine even pristine. All the card leaves are clean with mild age toning around their edges. The cover both the vellum and the paper pastedown boards have a fair amount of soiling and some wear along the edges. The gilt lettering on the front remains fairly bright. The flaps within have minor tearing. So the contents we would grade as Fine the binding Very Good Minus and overall we come up with Very Good Plus. Leadley unknown

189076014V.p.: V.p. 1890-1920. The soft leather-covered album measures 15.5 x 11.5 inches and contains fifty extant pages containing a total of 164 original photographs of varying sizes. The album has had some of its pages removed and there are missing photos from extant pages. There are an additional 23 fine photos either unmounted or on partial pages that have been removed from the album but are present in this offering. Altogether there are 187 photographs in this grouping. Several of the photos are over 9 x 13 inches in size. The photographs whether still in the album or separated from it are in Fine condition. Harriette Hattie Elizabeth Hill Foster Goldnamer 1868-1940 assembled the album and wrote the white ink photo descriptions in a wonderful cursive hand. According to Hughes’ Artists in California Hattie married “… Daniel Foster and moved to Fresno CA in 1886. In 1904 she moved to San Francisco where she studied at the Mark Hopkins Art Institute and privately with Frederick Bauer. A widow by 1910 she had married Wm. Goldnamer. She then settled in Oakland where she remained until her demise on May 2 1940.†As an artist Hattie worked in charcoal and oil and specialized in still life and figure studies. This album is one of three family photographs she put together that we acquired together. Although the family names are the same in all three each stands alone and we are offering them individually. All but nine of the 164 photographs in the album are fine portraits of her family and friends and several of herself. Surnames identified in the album include Hill Foster McNeil Gardner Potter Bryer Gould Pierce Page Oust Le Blanc Ryan McKenzie Holden Oberwetter Russell Hutchens Eldred Dunbar King Brown Scholler Holaday Radley Hutchens and many others. From the identification inscriptions beneath the photos along with photographers’ imprints many of Hattie’s family and friends were from the Illinois-Nebraska area and California. There are a number of oval portraits of identified individuals both male and female dated 1900. The other nine images in the album are large photos of the Hill Dunbar and Oberwetter ranches in Nebraska and Wyoming circa 1895-1900.The photo with the “Louis Fleckenstein / Los Angeles†blind stamp is of Loraine Stebinger who signed the photo’s mount “Most sincerely Loraine Stebinger Dec. 25 1918.†Removed from the album the photograph of the musician shows her playing the piano and measures 7 x 10 inches on a 10 x 13.5 inch cream colored mount. Fleckenstein 1866-1943 was an internationally known pictorialist photographer before moving to Los Angeles in 1907 to open up a portrait studio. He and a colleague had already organized the Salon Club of America to give support to regional camera clubs interested in pictorial photography where the emphasis was on photography as an art form rather than a documentary tool – aesthetics over reality! In 1914 along with Edward Weston and others Fleckenstein helped found the Camera Pictorialists of Los Angeles. In 1924 he relocated to Long Beach where he continued his work in photography. His photos are now in most major museum collections of photography.Another unattributed photo of Stebinger has an ink presentation “To my dearly beloved Friend Harriet Goldnamer from Lorraine Stebingerâ€. That presentation photo was key to identifying Hattie Goldnamer as the compiler of all three albums acquired at the same time of which this is one. Of interest is the penciled note on the back that attributes it along with several other shots of Stebinger in the same dress to Fleckenstein. However that has not been verified. V.p. hardcover

1919108343Adelaide 1919. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Adelaide circa 1919. A custom-made photograph album 190 × 200 mm containing 6 card leaves with an original gelatin silver photograph mounted on both sides of each leaf with interleaved tissue-guards. Each photograph is approximately 135 × 95 mm. Half leather and cloth lettered in full in gilt on the front cover with 'The Eucalypts' in gilt on the spine; leather discoloured and moderately rubbed with slight wear in a few areas; some tiny paint spots near the head of the front cover; tissue-guards a little foxed and offset; marginal silvering-out to five prints; overall in very good condition. All but the first portrait is signed and only the last one contains an additional inscription the date '10.1.19'. The State Library of South Australia has another example of this album enabling us to confirm the identities where the handwriting was unclear. Ministers of religion lawyers doctors and architects predominate. The subjects are Reverend A.H. Gifford possibly A.E. Gifford; Benjamin Benny 1869-1935 senator and solicitor; George McEwin 1873-1945 lawyer and philanthropist; Edward Erskine Cleland 1869-1943 barrister and judge; Alfred McBain Bonython 1865-1954 architect; Sir James Wallace Sandford 1879-1958 merchant and politician; Reverend Wilfred Harris Unitarian minister returned to England in 1918; Dr Herbert Frank Shorney 1878-1933 opthalmologist; Sir Thomas John Mellis Napier 1882-1976 later a SA Supreme Court judge; Harold Reid; Edward Warner Benham 1872-1948 lawyer and academic; and Francis Hedley Counsell 1864-1933 architect. <p>The subtitle is a misquote from 'Among the Sandhills' by Adela Florence Nicolson née Cory 1865-1904 an English poet who wrote under the pseudonym Laurence Hope 'The scented orange bushes check the breeze Granting in tribute many waxen stars And aromatic Eucalyptus trees Defy the sun with grey-green scimitars'. We have saved the best until the end: we purchased this item decades ago and have postponed cataloguing it innumerable times not knowing who 'The Eucalypts' were. We have finally solved the puzzle by the simple expedient of spending untold hours on it. We eventually discovered the lengthy biographical sketch of Alfred Bonython compiled by Giles Walkley for the University of SA's database on architects accessible online. Among many other interesting details he records that 'At the age of 42 Bonython became the father of a fourth daughter . Determinedly reviving his literary activities he joined both at their outset in 1910 Lady Symon's Poetry Society and the "liberal Christian" discussion group The Eucalypts Club . SRG 252'. hardcover
