192922389Paris: Black Sun Press 1929. First edition. One of 150 copies printed. Minkoff A25. Presentation copy inscribed by the publisher Harry Crosby to his father: "SVRC Stephen Van Rensselaer Crosby from Harry" with an accompanying sketch of his personalized sun symbol and the Black Sun Press's emblem. "In August Harry Crosby delivered one hundred and fifty copies of 1450-1950 to Brown who quickly sent most of them on to publishers and friends sixty of whom he listed opposite the title page under the heading "Free Copies." In return Brown hoped for a few kind words that might be useful in reviving a writing career that had been quiescent for close to fifteen years. 1450-1950 is an amusing mixture of ideography and calligraphy examples of which Brown had been amassing - with obvious pleasure - for many years. "I like looking back / at the / Illuminated manuscripts of / 1450 / And forward / to the / more Illuminations / Movie Scripts of / 1950 I like to see / Fly Specks / on yellowed pages / I like too / Leaving my own on / New ones / My Fly Speck." In his dedication to "all monks all early oriental artists . . . " Brown playfully attempted to locate his work in the history of innovative printing and himself among those authors celebrated as much for their matter as for their manner of expression. By early fall he had gathered a garland of testimonials from among others Gertrude Stein H. L. Mencken and William Carlos Williams." Harry Crosby was found dead in his New York studio on December 10th 1929 evidently a casualty of a suicide pact: in one hand he held a pistol and in his other arm his twenty year old lover Josephine Noyes Rotch Bigelow also dead of a bullet to the temple. - Hugh Ford Published In Paris N. Y.: Macmillan 1975 p. 200- 210. On the same day Crosby had made his last entry in his diary: "One is not in love unless one desires to die with one's beloved. There is only one happiness it is to love and to be loved." When Jonathan Williams reissued 1450-1950 as Jargon 29 in 1959 the publisher observed: "That it should take him JW thirty years to locate a copy of Bob Brown's utterly charming and singular book is a measure of the almost cultish regard 1450-1950 has commanded from its contemporaries. If you didn't own a copy you were automatically cast into either of the modern outer darknesses then beginning to pullulate: Squaresville or Beat City. The virtues of 1450-1950 are publicly attested by many luminaries on the back cover blurb - among them Geltte Burgess who invented the word blurb." Among those quoted on the back cover are Gertrude Stein Marcel Duchamp Carl Van Vechten William Carlos Williams Carl Sandburg Walter Lowenfels James Johnson Sweeney Gelett Burgess Stuart Davis and Caresse Crosby who wrote to Brown: "We show your book to everyone who comes to the house and they always find some page that so especially delights them that soon we will have to chain it down like an ancient missal.

Minor handling wear to cover near fine.<br /> <br /> "Limited to one hundred copies handset in light italic Bernhard Gothic type of twelve point. designed and edited by Caresse Crosby as a Christmas gift."

19282401Paris: Editions Narcisse 1928. First edition. 96 pp. Printed wrappers with French flaps. Some toning to extremities spine a little browned.<br /> <br /> One of 200 numbered copies printed by Roger Lescaret for Harry and Caresse Crosby. Raised in Wyoming Gerard Vernon Wallop 9th Earl of Portsmouth Viscount Lymington fell in with the Crosbys in Paris; they "bowled him right over" and he enjoyed various decadences with them taking a flat nearby at 1 Rue Gît-le-Coeur. This copy is inscribed "for Constance with Gerard's love January 4th 1929" with an Autograph Letter Signed laid in from Gerard to Constance. Constance was Constance Crowninshield Coolidge the Comtesse de Jumilhac Harry Crosby's "Lady of the Golden Horse" and the closest of his mistresses Caresse noted years later "All through the Paris years she was my most formidable antagonist but I could not help immensely admiring her." The letter a single sheet folded is undated but written from 1 Rue Git le Coeur. A breezy and charming note Lymington presents his book "which has perhaps one merit- sincerity" along with compliments about their recent luncheon and an offer for her to visit the English countryside.

19319281Paris: Black Sun 1931. First edition. Hardcover. Fine. 8vo. Translated from the French by Kay Boyle. Illustrated by Max Ernst. One of 200 copies on Bristol paper this being copy number 52. Although not called for this copy is signed by Max Ernst on the frontispiece illustration. Furthermore it is in the deluxe 50-copy black binding with black endpapers. Finally the book is housed in the publisher's slipcase which was intended only for the deluxe edition. Such discrepancies were not uncommon for this aristocratic press whose attention to bibliographical accuracy can generously be described as casual. The 19 photograms that illustrate the book constituted a pioneering artist's technique by Ernst who was assisted in the endeavor by fellow Surrealist Man Ray. Carefully pencil-rubbed what the French call "frottage" translucent papers were employed as negatives to create the photograms. In essence then a photogram is a photograph made without the use of a camera. The three principals of this _Livre de Artiste were unlikely collaborators. Crevel whose 1927 novel "Babylone" was the source for "Mr Knife Miss Fork" which is the novel's first chapter committed suicide at the age of 35 after an unhappy existence as a radical political activist and closeted homosexual; Boyle an American author at the epicenter of the expatriate colony in Paris was gamely trying to deal with her financial short-fallings; while Ernst an acknowledged pioneer of the burgeoning Dada and Surrealist movements in art was likewise motivated by the opportunity to earn a few francs. All in all an anomalously desirable volume. <br /><br /> Black Sun hardcover

1967158550New York: Slugs' in the Far East 1967. Vintage flyer for several nights of performances held at the historic East Village jazz club. Flyer advertises performances held between February 7 through March 5 1967 with performers including Jackie McLean George Benson Kenny Dorham Stanley Turrentine and Sun Ra and His Astro-Infinity Music.<br /> <br /> Robert Schoenholt and Jerry Schultz opened Slugs' Saloon named after G.I. Gurdjieff's "terrestrial three-brained beings" from his "All and Everything" trilogy in Manhattan's East Village in 1964. New York regulations forbade the use of "saloon" and the venue name was soon changed to Slugs' in the Far East due to its East Village location. By the mid-1960s the bar was hosting regular jazz performances and soon became closely associated with Sun Ra whose Arkestra would play regular gigs every Monday as noted on the flyer on offer as "Sun Ra and His Astro-Infinity Music." By the late 1960s Slugs' hosted a number of prominent jazz musicians. including Sonny Rollins Albert Ayler and Ornette Coleman among many others.
