1893178340Hammersmith: The Kelmscott Press 1893. Presentation copy to Georgiana Burne-Jones First Kelmscott edition presentation copy inscribed by Morris on the second blank nine days after publication "To Georgie from W.M. June 2nd". Georgiana Burne-Jones met Morris decades earlier through her future husband Edward Burne-Jones sparking a creative collaboration and close personal friendship that lasted for the rest of Morris's life. Georgiana 1840-1920 "was the woman to whom Morris addressed himself most openly and fully on all occasions with whom he shared his interests and concerns and not least his political ones. She was the woman that is whom he trusted as a friend before all others" Kelvin p. xxxix. In the early years of their marriage Georgiana and Edward Burne-Jones spent summer holidays with William and Jane Morris at Red House. When Jane Morris turned her affections towards Rossetti William Morris increasingly relied on his friendship with Georgiana and for a time spent every Sunday breakfast in the Burne-Jones household The Grange in Fulham. Morris frequently sought Georgiana's opinions on his books. "If you only knew what I expect of my friends. Such close attention such anxiety on their parts such sincerity withal - O the cross-questioning of them after a reading! Only ask Georgie" Letters I p. 150. As an artist Georgiana was employed in painting tiles at the decorative firm Morris Marshall Faulkner & Co. est. 1861 and she was a trustee of the South London Gallery. Following Morris's death in 1896 Georgiana encouraged her son-in-law J. W. Mackail to publish the first biography of Morris in 1899. This history of the First Crusade and the victorious first ruler of the Kingdom of Jerusalem is here based on William Caxton's translation of 1481 its text newly revised by Henry Halliday Sparling. Morris stated of the work "This book must from a literary point of view be considered one of Caxton's most important works. It is not a 'romance'. but a very serious piece of history the original of which is William of Tyre's Historia Rerum in partibus transmarinis Gestarum; from the French translation of which Caxton made his English version bringing it to an end just after the death of Godfrey. The style of Caxton's book is vigourous and agreeable and often reads like the most dramatic of all historic works Lord Berner's translation of Froissart and altogether it is a delightful book to read" cited in Peterson p. 43. One of 306 copies this Kelmscott production used the printer's larger device for the first time. Quarto. Elaborate woodcut border to title page and facing first page of contents ornamental initials and borders throughout.

19541000471954. Attractive signed large color portrait of golfer Bobby Jones swinging his driver. Boldly inscribed by Bobby Jones "For Will Grimsley with best regards Bob Jones."

Number 282 of a limited edition." In fine condition. Matted and framed the entire piece measures 33.5 inches by 29.5 inches. Robert T. Jones was an American golfer who was one of the most influential figures in the history of the sport. Jones founded and helped design the Augusta National Golf Club and co-founded the Masters Tournament. The innovations that he introduced at the Masters have been copied by virtually every professional golf tournament in the world. Jones was the most successful amateur golfer ever to compete at a national and international level. During his peak from 1923 to 1930 he dominated top-level amateur competition and competed very successfully against the world's best professional golfers. Jones often beat stars such as Walter Hagen and Gene Sarazen the era's top pros. Jones earned his living mainly as a lawyer and competed in golf only as an amateur primarily on a part-time basis and chose to retire from competition at age 28 though he earned significant money from golf after that as an instructor and equipment designer. Explaining his decision to retire Jones said "It championship golf is something like a cage. First you are expected to get into it and then you are expected to stay there. But of course nobody can stay there."

The Masters evolved into one of golf's four major championships. Jones came out of retirement in 1934 to play in the Masters on an exhibition basis through 1948. Jones played his last round of golf at East Lake Golf Club his home course in Atlanta on August 18 1948. A picture commemorating the event now sits in the clubhouse at East Lake.

19651140121965. Autograph letter signed by Bobby Jones to golfing rival and friend Walter Hagen. One page typescript the letter is dated December 17 1965 and reads "Dear Walter: A little bird not to be confused with birdie whispered to me that on December 21st you are celebrating your seventy-third birthday. I very definitely want to be counted among those sending best regards and best wishes for many happy returns. I hope you will live to be a hundred because guys like you come along so seldom. I sent a message to you not long ago by young Walter. I hope he remembered to deliver it. I was much concerned about you while you were in the hospital and have been thinking of you very often since that time. My wife Mary last February had an operation similar to yours. I am happy to say her results have been most satisfactory but at least I got an education in these matters to know something of what you went through. I see nothing in all this to interfere with your enjoyment of those lakes and big pines you once told me about. Knowing you as I do I am sure you will not miss a minute of this enjoyment. My warmest regards and all best wishes. Sincerely "Bob."' In near fine condition. Accompanied by the original transmittal envelope. A fine association. Two of the greatest golfers in the history of the sport American golfers Bobby Jones and Walter Hagen dominated top-level amateur competition in the 1920s.

During his peak from 1923 to 1930 Jones won thirteen major championships including five U.S. Amateurs four U.S. Opens three British Opens and one British Amateur. After his grand slam in 1930 Jones co-founded the Masters Tournament with investment banker Clifford Roberts. unknown books
1966100288Garden City NY: Doubleday & Company 1966. First edition of "the most practical and useful golf book ever written covering every shot in the game and every aspect of play." Octavo original half cloth illustrated by Anthony Ravielli. Presentation copy inscribed by the author on the half-title page "For Gene Ballard With best regards Bob Jones." The recipient was a member of The Peachtree Golf Club which was designed by Bobby Jones. Bookplate of the recipient fine in a near fine price-clipped dust jacket. Introduction by Charles Price. One of the more uncommon titles to find signed and inscribed as Jones passed away in 1971. Bobby Jones left an enduring legacy of athletic prowess and exemplary personal characteristics. No one is likely to break his records of thirteen U.S. and British national championships and four in one year he won the U.S. Open a total of four times the U.S. Amateur five times the British Open three times and the British Amateur one time. The Masters seems to have a secure place in the pantheon of golf; and the name Bobby Jones will continue to represent the highest standards of amateurism sportsmanship and self-mastery" ANB.
