26489Between April and June 1907 Daily Chronicle; National Vigilance Association; London Council for the Promotion of Public Morality; London Female Preventive and Reformatory Institution. A marvellous slice of unexplored Edwardian social history raising questions of morality censorship art and pornography from the papers of William J. Taylor Secretary of the London Female Preventive and Reformatory Institution. The 'Living Statuary' controversy arose over 'the propriety of the living statuary exhibitions in music-halls' Daily Chronicle 30 April 1907 and in particular the performances of the Australian artiste Pansy Montague b. 1885 known as 'La Milo' who posed as a living statue covered in alabaster whitening with a few strategically placed pieces of white material. The scandal was not restricted to London: a parade in Coventry in 1907 in which 'La Milo' took part as Lady Godiva caused an outrage. The present collection gives a full picture of the range of opinion with Taylor invoking John Ruskin and a large number individuals quoted in the newspaper reports some of the quotaions lengthy from individuals ranging from leading clerics and Mrs Bramwell Booth to Millicent Fawcett Hall Caine Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema and Max Beerbohm the last of whom comments with characteristic wit: 'It is no more improper for human beings to represent statues than for statues to represent human beings. But the practice strikes me as rather absurd.' The result of the controversy was inconclusive and the practice of 'living statuary' continued for decades in the 'tableaux vivants' at Soho's Windmill Theatre. The collection is in good condition with light signs of age and wear apart from the three loose newspaper cuttings which are in poor condition. ONE: Duplicated copy of letter on 'LIVING STATUARY' by William J. Taylor as secretary of the LFPRI 200 Euston Road NW 4 May 1907 'To the Editor of the Daily Chronicle'. 2pp 8vo. With a few minor manuscript corrections. 'Having for nearly 49 years laboured to rescue the victims of ungoverned passion' he is in the present case 'surprised that not more references have been made to that prince of art critics John Ruskin. His words are surely worth of recall.' A long quotation from 'the “Eagle's Nest†Lecture 8' follows on how 'The study of the nude is injurious beyond the limits of honor and decency in daily life'. Taylor feels that 'the words of Ruskin should be written in letters of fire and burned into the consciences of men and women everywhere. The only safe path to the maintenance of virtue is not to go in any direction calculated to excite our baser nature but in striving to keep as far away as it is possible.' TWO: Two typewritten circulars and two manuscript cards from the National Vigilance Association And International Bureau for the Suppression of the White Slave Trade London. All four items on the NVA's letterhead and the first three signed by both the NVA secretary Willliam Alexander Coote 1842-1918 and the secretary of the London Council for the Promotion of Public Morality E. Fox Butlin. First circular 15 May 1907 2pp discussing the fact that 'the Music Halls have for some time been giving an entertainment described as “Living Statuary†in which men and women appear apparently in a state of nudity' and the 'strong protests' that have been made 'in London and the Provinces'. The NVA and LCPPM are joining a deputation to the London County Council which is to be headed by the Bishop of London and they request a delegate so that 'the deputation shall be thoroughly representative of the efforts being put forth in London to help young men and women to a more excellent way of life'. First card postmarked 16 May 1907 and addressed to the secretary of the London Female Preventive and Reformatory Institution written in manuscript and giving the date of the deputation. Second circular 29 May 1907 1p giving details of the time and place of the delegation. Second card postmarked 3 July 1907 unsigned and in manuscript a reminder of the date for the deputation.

1562376729Frankfurt am Main: David Zöpfel 1562. Woodcut title vignette 43 woodcut illustrations some repeated. Title page in red and black. 8 300 leaves. Small 4to 7-3/4 x 5-7/8 inches. Late nineteenth century brown crushed morocco gilt by Frances Bedford marbled endpapers gilt edges. Provenance: William Title inscription dated 1856 on front free endpaper; C. S. Ascherson bookplate and inscription to; Edward Ascherson bookplate. Woodcut title vignette 43 woodcut illustrations some repeated. Title page in red and black. 8 300 leaves. Small 4to 7-3/4 x 5-7/8 inches. The first of two Frankfurt printings by David Zöpfel that year using the same woodcuts. The text is descended from the Low German version Reynke de Vos first printed at Lübeck in 1498. <br /> <br /> Among the most widely adapted of the beast fables the tales of Reynard the Fox originated in the 12th and 13th centuries with early versions in French Dutch Latin and German being notable. One of the most important secular literary traditions of the Middle Ages Reynard the Fox is at its essence biting satire and parody. The character of Reynard an anthropomorphic fox and trickster has since become almost an archetype in the literatures of many languages. "The supreme 'anti-hero' of medieval fiction" Cambridge Guide to Children's Books in English.<br /> <br /> This copy from the renowned library of the eminent British architect and book collector Sir William Tite 1798-1873 whose sale at Sotheby's in May-June 1874 took sixteen days certainly one of the greatest collections of the time.
