1920008950New York 1920. Unbound. Very good. This one-page letter on the stationery of the New York State Bridge and Tunnel Commission and New Jersey Interstate Tunnel Commission measuring 8" x 8.5" was written to Mr. Leon C. Hills of Washington DC on October 17 1920. The lot also includes a newspaper clipping annotated Sunday Feb 26 22 about the tunnel titled "Hudson River Tunnel Means Jobs for Many." The letter and clipping are in nice shape; lightly toned. <br /><br />Holland's letter is apparently in response to a newspaper article not the clipping in this lot in a Washington newspaper announcing that funds had been appropriated to build the tunnel. It reads in part: "We are now engaged in a big undertaking which is occupying every minute of my time but it is very interesting and a great pleasure. . . .". <br /><br />In 1920 funding was approved for what was then known as the "Hudson River Vehicular Tunnel Project" and in 1922 construction began in New York at the corner of Canal and West Streets. Holland the tunnel's designer and chief engineer died on October 27 1924 the day before the tunnel was completed. Doctors attributed his heart attack to the stress of overseeing the tunnel's construction. The tunnel was named in Holland's honor two weeks later on November 12 1924. <br /><br /> books

194514897New York: E.P. Dutton & Company Inc. Very Good in Very Good dj. 1945. First Edition. Hardcover. lightly worn copy with some faint staining to the front cover short closed tear at bottom of title page; jacket edgeworn a few small tears some minor paper loss at both ends of spine all text on spine still present internally tape-repaired with modern tape at least at front foldover. Very scarce novel which served as the basis for one of the best of Otto Preminger's early films and a worthy follow-up to his classic LAURA. The first of five novels by this author who apparently also dabbled in screenwriting without any notable success. The only other film credit I've been able to uncover for her was a story credit for the 1950 noir THE FILE ON THELMA JORDON. Interestingly the front jacket flap bears a boxed notice to "WATCH FOR THE MOVIE" indicating that the book was "snapped up hot off the typewriter by Twentieth Century-Fox." Dana Andrews was already announced as the star of the forthcoming film version in late September 1944 about seven months before the book hit the shelves with the finished film finally going into release in December. Andrews' co-stars were Linda Darnell sexy girl and Alice Faye nice girl the latter making a sort of "comeback" as well as a change of pace in a non-musical role after being absent from the screen for nearly two years. Ironically however it ended up being Faye's swan song as a major star after she got into a dispute with studio head Darryl Zanuck over his decision to cut down her role in the picture in favor of Darnell's. .

165815329Haarlem 1658. Engraving. Printed on laid paper. Collector's mark on verso of sheet. In excellent condition. Image size: 15 3/4 x 11 1/2 inches. This striking engraving comes from a series of portraits executed by Cornelis de Visscher one of the greatest seventeenth century Dutch engravers.<br/> <br/> Visscher was born in Haarlem between 1628 and 1629 and remained in the city for his whole life. He studied the art of engraving from Pieter Soutman one of the most celebrated printmakers of the Dutch School. In 1653 he entered the Haarlem guild and earned a reputation as a talented and precise engraver. A prolific printmaker Visscher published maps and charts as well as decorative plates but it is for his lovingly etched portraits that he is best remembered. This handsome portrait is a superb example of his considerable skill. Ada's life as the Countess of Holland in the early 13th century exemplifies the challenges faced by women in positions of power throughout history. As the only surviving daughter of Count Dirk VII of Holland and Adelaide of Cleves Ada inherited her father's title. However her uncle William I quickly contested her right to rule setting the stage for a tumultuous period in Holland's history. To strengthen her position Ada married Count Louis II of Loon. This strategic union caused scandal particularly as it took place even before her father's burial. The tension between Ada and her uncle erupted into the Loon War which lasted from 1203 to 1206. Unfortunately Ada was captured by William's supporters and imprisoned in various locations including in England. However her resilience and determination allowed her to regain her freedom in 1206 and she and Louis returned to Loon. Their rule was brief as Emperor Otto IV declared that William had a stronger claim to the title of Count of Holland in 1208. The lines of Latin verse below the portrait is in the first person giving voice to Ada to tell her own story of following her father's footsteps fighting with leaders alongside her husband Louis and to emphasize her experience as a foemina or "woman."

Halsey a famous New York print collector who was active during the latter part of the 19th century.<br/> <br/> Benezit Dictionnaire des Peintres Sculpteurs Dessinateurs et Graveurs; Lugt Les Marques de Collections 1308. unknown

Holland's obituary in the American Anthropologist vol. 67 issue 1 1967 pp.80-82 including bibliography accorded him high praise: 'The success with which he had applied himself during the greater part of the past six years to field work and the productivity he had shown in publishing his research results make his early death an incalculable loss to the field of Maya studies.' 1p. 4to. In fair condition lightly-aged and worn. In remains of Air Mail envelope addressed to 'Srta. Francoise Cabeaux 152 Chausee de Charleroi Bruxelles 6 Belgique'. He begins by thanking her for her letter adding 'The rainy season has started in Mexico and so things are quite similar to the way that you describe Belgium these days.' He thanks her again for her interest in his work and expresses his desire 'to publish in European newspapers and magazines with your help'. He will 'send along anything that might help you to interest a magazine in this work'. He is publishing 'another article in a Buffalo New York newspaper' with 'a larger number and variety of photographs' and 'will send it along as soon as possible'. His 'book' should be published 'within the next month or two' and he will send her a copy: 'You remember it will be published in Spanish and not in English. But if there is interest there I would certainly be in favor of publishing it in Europe.' He ends in the hope that he 'may get to Europe next summer for some scientific meetings in Madrid'.
