With mezzotints printed by the artist Judith Rothchild the text was printed by Albert Woda the publisher who also designed the layout. This is Judith Rothchild's first livre d'artiste. Noted poet Ruth Fainlight has contributed a moving poem using the imagery of pomegranates and its association with the Greek myth of Persephone and Demeter to pose questions about the life process aging revisiting our youth death and rebirth. Ms. Rothchild's pomegranates are rich and warm almost supernaturally lit images -- always in pairs -- exposing its complicated fruit. The artist usually works in the pastel medium using vibrant strong colors usually still lifes bringing life to inanimate objects with magical light. Encouraged by master engraver Albert Woda to work in mezzotints Ms. Rothchild has created six haunting images to perfectly complement Ms. Fainlight's poem. See illustration.7.

1959421079New York: Random House 1959. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. First edition. Fine in a price-clipped near fine dustwrapper with some modest toning on the spine. A play from the Faulkner novel adapted by Ruth Ford. Inscribed by Ford to Tony Award-winning actress Marian Seldes: "Merry Christmas and love to Marian Seldes from Ruth Ford 1963." Ford the Mississippi-born sister of surrealist author Charles Henri Ford was a beautiful model and actress first for Orson Welles's Mercury Theatre and later in films and theater. Notably she starred on Broadway in Jean Paul Sartre's No Exit in 1946 under the direction of John Huston the last of five Broadway plays he directed. Her apartment in the Dakota became a salon for authors such as Tennessee Williams Edward Albee Terrence McNally and Truman Capote. A chance encounter between Stephen Sondheim and Arthur Laurents in her Manhattan living room led to their collaboration with her Dakota-neighbor Leonard Bernstein on West Side Story. Similarly she brought together Kay Thompson and Hilary Knight to create the celebrated stories of Eloise the little girl who lived at the Plaza. Seldes daughter of important journalist Gilbert Seldes later married director and author Garson Kanin.<br /> <br /> Ford is well known also for her long friendship with William Faulkner which began with her dating his brother Dean in the early 1930s. Faulkner was openly smitten with Ford for many years. He wrote his experimental 1951 title Requiem for a Nun a sequel to his early and controversial novel Sanctuary with her in mind. He further declared to the consternation of his agent and publisher that it was her dramatic property Requiem for a Nun was a mixture of stage play and novel. Stage production of the title stalled for years partly because Faulkner's experimental drama did not lend itself to live theatre and partly because the producers were unsure of Ford's suitability. Faulkner was adamant that it was her dramatic property and in 1959 she adapted the play herself and starred in its London production opposite Scott. Her stage version received enthusiastic reviews in both London and New York but did not fare so well with audiences and closed after a short run on Broadway. Ford continued to act on both stage and screen well into the 1980s. She passed away in 2009 at the age of 98. Random House hardcover

1942055790India: Typescript & Gelatine Silver Prints. 1942-1944 and one photo dated 1924. 1942. No Binding. Very Good. Two typescript letters and seven gelatine silver photographs.

A cut envelope is censored stamped "passed by censor". Letters include approx. 1300 words total. The sending address is "Utraula Gonda District Uttar Pradesh India". All very good condition. Both are addressed to Mr. and Mrs. Edward Rogers of Pennsylvania by Jones Ruth Helen van Heer and Jones Rev. Everard Keith. Ruth 1916-2006 and Keith Jones 1911-2006 were Canadian missionaries in India Pakistan and Iran between 1936-1979 in Ceylon and India with the Ceylan and India General Mission later the Sudan Interior Mission and Iran with the Anglican Church. Rev. Jones also served with the Fellowship of Faith for Muslims. They had a son named Rodney. Historically interesting small but content-rich archive includes seven photographs and two interesting typescript letters. Both letters from the missionaries' time in India likely during their service with the Fellowship of Faith for Muslims in Northern India in Uttar Pradesh Province one dated 1942 and one 1944. The first letter is a personal hand-signed by Ruth discussing the difficulties of living in India mentioning the lack of much success in their work and fears that cost and the war would disrupt plans for a homestay in 1945. Also she writes about their son Rodney how surprised when they arrived in India first by indicating "So far as the Gospel goes this is one of the most illiterate provinces and therefore one of the most difficult to work in". She goes on with their camera and photograph shoots supplying the material of such things is very difficult in the region etc. The second letter is a long one that describes a visit to a large home for five wealthy Shiite Bhatti Khanzada Khanzada Muslim Rajputs families on the Ashura the tenth of Muharram the Islamic New Year a day of mourning for Shia Muslims who annually commemorate the death of Husayn ibn Ali who was killed alongside most of his relatives and his small retinue in the Battle of Karbala in 680 CE against the army of the Umayyad caliph Yazid b. Mu'awiya grandson of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and the third Shia imam. This is one of the most sacred holidays for Muslims in the Uttar Pradesh region and is marked by fasting prayer chest-beating and according to the letter scary enactments that involve roping a boy and a baby by the foot and neck as a sort of homage to Imam Husayn. The letter also describes the set-up of the house that allows women to pass from one area to another without breaking "purdah" i.e. the practice in certain Muslim and Hindu societies of screening women from men or strangers especially by means of a curtain. This long content-rich and historically informative typescript letter includes an invaluable account of the Shiite Muslim communities in India in the modern mid-20th century: "Ceylon & India General Mission. Utraula Gonda Dist. U.P. North India January 1942. Dear friends in Christ; As we neared the Muharram celebration this year about which I wrote you a year ago we had an invitation from a wealthy Mohammedan's house to come and see what goes on at that time in the purdah quarters. You'll remember that this is in commemoration of the martyrdom of Husayn and how the people put on their mourning colours of green white and black take off all jewellery eat simple food and some fast and sleep on the floor on straw for ten days. You will also perhaps remember that on the seventh night they take their banners the blood-stained garbed horse and the funeral bed around to each Shia house going from house to house all night and the women weep for hours. The house to which we were invited I really made up of five complete houses and more than fiv <br/> <br/> Typescript & Gelatine Silver Prints., 1942-1944 (and one photo dated 1924). unknown

Ich fragte meinen Mann soeben: "wie soll ich ihn denn anreden" und oben steht seine Antwort die meinem Herzen am meisten wohl thut. Gottlob sein Befinden ist derart dass er gestern zum ersten mal gewagt hat von 1/2 10 - bis Abends um 7 aufzubleiben d.h. angezogen auf dem Bett liegend aber doch wiederholt aufstehend und auch am Schreibtisch sitzend. Die Nacht war nach diesem Versuch nach 6 monatl. Krankenlager mit täglichem Fieber gut und auch heute Befinden u. Aussehen verhältnissmssig befriedigend. Das bisherige Kalte u. stürmische Wetter hat seine Genesung sehr gehindert. Heute ist milderes Regenwetter. Viell. kommt die Sonne heraus und mein geliebter vielgeprüfter unsäglich geduldiger Eheliebster kann wenigstens auf dem schönen Balkon sitzen. Wir hoffen auch den Seider wie sonst wenn auch in stiller Zweisamkeit begehen zu können. Für Ihr gütiges Anerbieten die Correctur am 2 Bd. besorgen zu wollen herzlichen Dank. Lazarus weiss was ein Oberrabbiner von Szegedin zu thun hat. followed by a sentence not legible . aber er wird Ihr Anerbieten gern annehmen wenn auch die Sache weit im Felde ist da die vergangenen 6 Monate für die Arbeit verloren waren. Wir senden Ihnen "Lazarus' Sprüche" seinen Vortrag "Was heisst" usw. - und kleines biographisches Fragment das mal Sie wie wenige Menschen interessieren wird. followed by a sentence not legible . Mit besten Grüssen and Ihre Lieben von uns beiden und herzlichsten Wünschen für einen glücklichen Sonntag Ihre Nahida Ruth Lazarus.
