19389734London: John Murray 1938. Sara Delano Roosevelt's copy of her son's biography with her initials "SDR" in pencil to the front free end paper from the collection of Frederick Baldwin Adams a relative of FDR and his mother. Sara Delano Roosevelt clearly read the book with close interest as indicated by the marginal pencil lines scattered throughout the text. As these annotations are fairly extensive albeit heavily concentrated in the latter two-thirds of the book which concentrate on F.D.R.'s political career 1910s-1930s it is difficult to identify Sara's precise points of interest although there is the odd occurrence. For example on p.96 a less-encountered double-line is pencilled next to a sentence regarding F.D.R.'s embarkation on a new destroyer the Dyer during the First World War on which occasion "since he was sailing under secret orders neither his wife nor his mother could see him off" perhaps a difficult memory that stuck in Sara's mind. More broadly sections concerning family friends and commentary regarding F.D.R.'s political achievements appear to have elicited the most interest. A touching relic indicative of Sara's famous devotion and steadfast support for her son whom she lived to see elected three times as President of the United States. An account of the life and character of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt by family friend writer and music critic Basil Maine 1894-1972. The present copy comes from the Franklin Delano Roosevelt collection of Frederick Baldwin Adams Jr 1910-2001 the son of Ellen Walters Delano who was a first cousin to President Roosevelt. Adams became a passionate bibliophile who served as director of the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York City for two decades and compiled a significant personal collection relating to F.D.R. In 1969 he married his third wife who was a Swedish princess and with whom he shared the final years of his life in France. Adams' move to France explains the presence of his books in the United Kingdom. First edition. Publisher's original pink cloth with titles in gilt to the spine. Illustrated with nine black and white photographs. Panels of the original dustwrapper loosely laid in along with a newspaper obituary of Sir Sayaji Rao Indian ruler of Baroda who was a guest at the White House in 1934. A very good copy the binding square and firm with a little fading to the spine. The contents with toning to two text pages resulting from the insertion of the newspaper cutting are otherwise excellent throughout.

189554270Boston MA: F.N. Atwood c. 1895 1898. One colour lithograph reverse mounted on glass sized 8 x 13 in. fitted with brass chain frame and hanger possibly used as chimney flue cover minor edgewear to glass minor soiling to chain very minor spotting dustsoiling still an excellent piece w/ bright strong image. The USS Maine ACR-1 was launched in 1895 and was an armored cruiser together with her near-sister ship USS Texas with two gun turrets staggered en echelon rather than on the centerline with fore gun sponsoned out on the starboard side of the ship. As she took seven years to build she was out of date upon launching. She sailed with the North Atlantic Squadron operating from Norfolkd along the East Coast and the Caribbean. Feb. 15 1898 an explosion obliterated the forward third of the ship killing 260 sailors and the Spanish-American War began in April 1898 two months later. Atwood b. 1844 was a Massachusetts nautical maritime painter who operated studios in Boston and Maine and painted the original for Brigadier General H.A. Wheeler in 1895 and in 1898 the colour print was issued as a patriotic souvenir. Victorian flue covers were used after the chimney flues were removed in 19th-century homes following Winter and often served as an advertising giveaway. F.N. Atwood, unknown
