2383716 April 1864; New Grove Petworth Surrey. See the entries for Robinson and Cooke in the Oxford DNB. 3pp 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition folded twice. Addressed to ‘My dear Mr Cooke’. Cooke’s ‘friendly note’ about the time he ‘proposed setting out for Deal’ was received on the Thursday and the Robinsons are ‘glad indeed to hear that your dear Mother is again restored to her usual health’. The Robinsons think that ‘change of occupation & fresh air together may have the desired effect both as regards yourself & your son Conrad’. The present season has been a ‘trying’ one and Robinson gives a brief description of his own indisposition. He hopes that he can meet Cooke ‘on Thursday week the day before the private view’. A reference to ‘Mr & Mrs Cope’ follows. Robinson is sorry that the ‘programme’ Cooke has ‘sketched’ leaves ‘little chance of our seeing you before you return from Stratford’. He ends by informing Cooke that his wife is ‘pretty well’.

Icons & Idols

1998112175New York: Amphoto Art; Watson-Guptill Publications 1998. Cloth 160 pages chiefly illustrations; 31 cm. SIGNED. Boldly signed by the photographer Jack Mitchell 1925-2013 on the front free endpaper no dedication. Dust jacket protected in a mylar cover. Profusely illustrated. A large-format coffee-table book. Profusely illustrated. "For thirty-five years almost everyone who was anyone in the arts found themselves in Jack Mitchell's photography studio in New York City. This book distills the finest results of Mitchell's own artistic mission to portray the greatest actors dancers painters composers writers choreographers and musicians of his day. Mitchell's list of subjects is a crash course in late twentieth-century art including such luminaries as Mikhail Baryshnikov Lauren Bacall Alfred Hitchcock Twyla Tharp Jack Nicholson Robert Rauschenberg Meryl Streep Luciano Pavarotti Uta Hagen Tommy Tune Julie Andrews Philip Glass and on and on. In the sixties his self-assigned goal of photographing the greatest painters and sculptors living in New York - for example Isamu Noguchi Louise Nevelson Roy Lichtenstein Ellsworth Kelly Robert Indiana Andy Warhol and Claes Oldenburg - led to a retrospective exhibit in 1974. Although the photographs that follow speak for themselves captions accompany each one providing a time-capsule context. Mitchell's wry sense of humor peeks out from behind the lens in these anecdotes about America's greatest living and sometimes now deceased legends." - Publisher. SIGNED. 1st. Hardcover.

Excellent contemporary calf raised bands spine lavishly gilt in compartments with unusual architectural centerpiece intricate scrolling cornerpieces with lancet accents two red morocco labels marbled endpapers.

A Large Paper Copy. Front pastedowns with private library shelf label of Bessinge. Title pages of both volumes with signature of Charles Richard Tronchin. Brunet III 976. ◆Volume II with half-inch split at head of front joint and small patch of lost patina from insect activity on front board joints and extremities of both volumes a little rubbed boards with light chafing or faint scratches isolated mild browning or other trivial imperfections but still AN EXTREMELY APPEALING SET--entirely clean and fresh internally with especially ample margins with sharp impressions of unusually bright plates and with bindings showing no significant signs of use and looking very attractive on the shelf. This is a handsomely illustrated history of the Council of Constance the 15th century ecumenical council that resolved the Western Schism elected a new pope for the unified Roman Catholic Church and condemned reformer Jan Hus as a heretic. It is enlivened with beautiful portraits of the participants by an artist Ray considers "the outstanding professional illustrator of the first third of the eighteenth century." Our author French Protestant divine Jacques Lenfant 1661-1728 drew heavily on writings by those present at the council for this account which is considered a fair recording of the proceedings. Lenfant likely felt some sympathy for Hus tried and burned at the stake for heresy and for his countryman Jerome of Prague who came to support Hus and ended up meeting the same fate. Picart has referenced their martyrdom in his portraits depicting Hus' execution in a vignette beneath his portrait and balancing the tondo portrait of Jerome on a pile of burning logs. Similarly the radical English theologian John Wycliffe posthumously convicted of heresy at the council is pictured over a stack of burning books his writing having been condemned to this fate. But in addition to the harsh reality of burning execution Picart employs gentler details: Parisian Jean Gerson the formidable Chancellor of Paris is in sober robes but the adorable fluffy puppy beneath his portrait softens his image considerably. The cardinal of Foix who had negotiated the end of the schism involving rival popes in Rome and Avignon is flanked by a cherub holding an olive branch looking askance at a slain dragon which has been relieved of his many heads. The new pope Martin V is shown with the insignia of the papacy and a dove clasping an olive branch in its beak. The portrait of Italian humanist Poggio Bracciolini is shown hanging in an open window that looks out on his city of Florence with a stack of books by Quintilian and other classical authors Poggio had rescued from obscurity on the windowsill. Throughout Picart's facial images are strikingly individuated--these are convincing portraits that project history from the book's pages. Picart 1673-1733 was born in Paris where he learned engraving from his father Etienne and from Sébastian Le Clerc and "early acquired a reputation both as an artist and engraver." He moved to the busy publishing city of Amsterdam sometime before 1712 and established himself as both printseller and illustrator/engraver. There he designed and engraved an impressive body of illustrations for Dutch printers at a time when in Ray's words "designs for the finest illustrated books were typically drawn by leading painters." Our previous owner Charles Richard Tronchin 1763-1835 was a Swiss politician of great wealth who donate very substantial sums to relieve the sick and destitute. Pierre Humbert unknown

Beerbohm, Max Noel Coward, author of operetta basis for Beerbohm's portraitsBiblio.com

Heroes and Heroines of Bitter Sweet

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
