To Mr. Rudy Vallee 55 Central Park West New York City "Dear Rudy: - Of all the broadcasts to date on our song "MASQUERADE" we got the biggest thrill out of hearing the beautiful rendition you gave it on last night’s Fleischman program. We were particularly grateful to notice that you presented and interpreted "MASQUERADE" in the high class manner that a waltz of this type requires. Speaking for our many friends as well as for ourselves we are looking with keen anticipation to the time that you see fit to reprise it on a future program.

195229272Roccasinibalda Italia: Caresse Crosby n.d. ca. 1952-1954. First Edition. Octavo broadside 21cm.; Fine. Text entirely in Italian. Manifesto of the pacifist Citizens of the World movement which Caresse Crosby founder of the Black Sun Press established shortly after the end of World War II. This flyer presumably issued after her and the movement's expulsion from Greece where she had initially attempted to set up headquarters. The Greek government gave the reason that the movement was "conceived and initaited by aliens yet tending toward the creation of a super-national organization which may exercise international political influence" cf. Linda Hamalian The Cramoisy Queen: A Life of Caresse Crosby 2009 p. 169. The imprint at the bottom is of Crosby's 16th-century castle Roccasinibalda located in the Province of Rieti which she purchased ca. 1952. There is a chance this came prior to Crosby's expulsion from Greece however; the text mentions the movement's taking inspiration "dall'Umanesimo Greco" and a Greek language Manifesto was also published about the same time. A scarce item: OCLC locates 3 copies as of March 2016 at NYU Indiana U. and Brown. Caresse Crosby unknown books

1920002014Paris: H. Floury 1920. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. Hansi and Victor Huen. Oblong measuring 32 by 24 cm 12.5 by 9.5 inches. Nostalgic look at Alsatian village of yore and as much of Hansi's writings about the French-ness of the village and demonizing the German occupiers who were only recently driven out at the time this copy was issued. The illustrations exude the naive charm of Hansi's best work whose legacy was to create an enduring visual image of Alsatian life. The decorated cloth boards have soiling and the fabric is worn by the corners and the spine extremities. Inside the pages have age toning but otherwise are clean. <br /><br /> H.

1903103087<p>Print folio 11 1/2" x 15" chromolithograph color plate I archivally matted attached at the top with archive tape. Very slight aging; otherwise bright and clean and very attractive. Published in several editions the plates are extremely attractive. Studer 1840-1904 was born in New York City and would become a printer and lithographer. He was also an ornithologist and seems to have been active in this field in the Columbus Ohio area after the Civil War. However it is believed that the plates were based on drawings by Theodore Jasper. The plates while very attractive are believed to be designed to help with identification. This plate which features the Bald Eagle is probably the most outstanding in the collection. The eagle is shown in a natural setting. May require extra postage.

Illustrated by Gwenda Morgan. "Among the manuscript note-books of the brothers Grimm are a large number of the fairy-tales they collected with such tireless enthusiasm. A considerable number of these have never been available to the general reader and are virtually unknown. Wilhelm Hansen director of the Lippe Folk Museum had access to the manuscripts and selected fifty of these tales for us tales which Taylor who made the first English translation had described as 'most curious' and 'of great merit' but which he felt bound to suppress 'in deference to the scrupulous fastidiousness of modern taste especially in works likely to attract the attention of youth'. Gwenda Morgan's quaint engravings seemed to compliment these folk tales to perfection." Cock-A-Hoop Golden Cockerel Press hardcover books
