198546061New York: HarperCollins Publishers 1985. First edition of the re-issue of this Sendak work. Octavo original cloth. Signed by Maurice Sendak on the half-title page. At age 75 a year before his death in 1970 Philip Sendak wrote down some of his father's stories in response to a request from his son Maurice. The stories translated from the Yiddish and combined into one tale are presented in this small volume along with a short reminiscence of Philip Sendak's life. In a simple straightforward style that reflects his Polish shtetl roots Sendak tells of a young boy's fairy tale-like quest for his parents. Carried by a large bird from place to place in true allegorical fashion he witnesses a war between friendly giants and greedy monsters is swallowed by a large fish and finds a brave runaway slave in a cave. He encounters little people who are rich in possessions but have no food and saves a sick man's flock from wild beasts. The boy finally visits his grandfather in heaven learns the meaning of his travels and is returned to his parents. In Maurice Sendak's pencil illustrations children glimpse the boy's grandfather watching over him. HarperCollins Publishers hardcover books

Eisenhower: upon the liberation of Paris in 1945 Chevalier was threatened with death by firing squad for having entertained in France under the Nazi occupation. Chevalier who had been living with a Jewish woman at the time contended that he had only done so in order to facilitate a prisoner swap. Thanks to a word from General Eisenhower himself Chevalier was kept alive until an investigation could be carried out which proved that Chevalier was telling the truth.<br style="">The French actor cabaret singer and entertainer Maurice Chevalier is perhaps best known for his signature songs including "Louise" "Mimi" "Valentine" and "Thank Heaven for Little Girls" and for his films including The Love Parade and The Big Pond. His trademark attire was a boater hat which he always wore on stage with a tuxedo. In 1958 he starred with Leslie Caron and Louis Jourdan in Gigi and in the early 1960s he made eight films including Can-Can in 1960 and Fanny the following year.  The success of Gigi prompted Hollywood to give him an Academy Honorary Award that year for achievements in entertainment. <br style=""> Doubleday & Company, Inc. hardcover books

1971296926New York: Harper and Row 1971. Offset lithograph. Image measures 10" x 16". Sheet measures 14 5/8" x 19 1/4". Unsigned.<br/><br/> The original print of artwork from Maurice Sendak's 1970 "In The Night Kitchen" was part of a boxed set released by Harper and Row in 1971. Entitled "Pictures by Maurice Sendak" the set includes original prints of images from the author's books here printed on single sheets rather than on two-page spreads. <br><br>This particular image shows a dream-like scene of three bakers gazing upwards at the main character a little boy named Mickey flying over a milk bottle in a small plane made of bread. The background for the scene resembles a cityscape with pantry and kitchen items portrayed as buildings and skyscrapers. The bakers closely resemble Oliver Hardy a comic actor known for his silent films. This is thought to be a reference to the 1930s a period Sendak evokes throughout the book in his style use of color and allusions to pop-culture and design. <br><br> In his introduction to this box set Sendak writes of In the Night Kitchen as "influenced not by an artistic mode of the past that I consider superior but by art that was very real and potent to a child growing up in America in the thirties and forties. Night Kitchen and to a lesser degree Wild Things reflect a popular American art both crass and oddly surrealistic an art that encompasses the Empire State Building syncopated Disney cartoons and aluminum-clad comic-book heroes an Art Moderne whose richness of detail was most sensuously catalogued in the movies." His diversion from his usual style inspired by Victorian artists and children's books is evident in his use of deeper more muted colors and the lack of cross-hatching utilized in most of his work to show depth and texture. The print is in very good condition with wide margins as issued. Some faint foxing in margins not affecting the image.<BR><BR>Maurice Sendak 1928-2012 was an American illustrator and writer known for his children's books. Producing illustrations for other authors as well as for television he is best remembered for "Where the Wild Things Are" which is considered by some to be one of the first contemporary picture books.This print is a lovely example and memento of his work.
