* Wharton (Edith, 1862-1937). Autograph letter signed 'E. Wharton', 53 rue de Varenne, [Paris], 31st December 1910, To John, wishing him best wishes for the New Year, and the Newcastle, if he goes, 'When you wrote me that you were sending a book of Ballads which was "improper reading", my spirits rose, & I fell upon it with avidity. But on perusing L's preface I learned to my dismay that he had personally seen to it that not a line or syllable of the original subsided "which boy & maid may not read". As I fall under neither of these categories, I felt that he need not have taken so [?] trouble in my behalf; but when (at his request) I turned to the "bracketed" lines in Glasgerion & Young Hunting, & saw that "He kissed her in the red fire-light" had been substituted for language of which I dare not even think (judging from the context), I realised how thoughtful you had been in selecting for me this expurgated edition of the songs of our rude ancestors. I trouble to think what I have escaped, when such indelicate allusions are still left & though I shall always value your kindness in sending me the book, I trust you will not expect me to leave on the drawing-room table a work in which such distressing instances of female weakness are celebrated with all the fallacious charms of art. It would certainly do you no good at Newcastle if it were known that you were in the habit of sending to ladies poems in which kissing in the red fire-light is regarded as a comparatively innocent pursuit!', then asking for a letter with news and concluding if there is any chance of his going down to Rome en-route for Newcastle, 4 pp., 8vo (1)

Pear Tree Press A collection of forty-four Pear Tree Press printer's proofs, incl. woodcuts, lithos., col. copper engs., b & w collotype reproductions etc., some with printer James Guthrie's marks or initials, one signed in pencil by artist Reginald Hallward, approx. 340 x 210 mm and smaller, together with 2pp. autograph letter signed from Reginald Hallward to poet and dramatist Gordon Bottomley. The Pear Tree Press was founded by James Guthrie at Pear Tree Cottage, Ingrave, in Essex in 1899, and is therefore one of the oldest existing private presses. An artist, typographer, and printer, Guthrie was particularly interested in intaglio printing, wood engraving and bookplate design: 'With a comparatively light equipment, the intaglio plate in its simple form and in combination affords opportunities for the employment of gold and silver and colours, which extend far beyond the ordinary practice of printing. I could not claim to have invented it, but found and developed it for myself, and, so far as I am aware, am the only printer since Blake who has gone aside from the regular tradition to work with plates' (Tomkinson, p.142). Reginald Hallward, painter, stained glass artist, illustrator and designer, set up his own private press, The Woodland Press, as well as providing illustrations for his friend, James Guthrie's Press. Gordon Bottomley was also involved in producing work for the Pear Tree Press. Hallward's letter to Bottomley urges him to visit an exhibition in London, and mentions a proposed visit to James Guthrie. (45)
