* Fenton (Roger, 1819-1869). Effendi & Musician, [1858], albumen print, a few minor surface marks, 256 x 247 mm, mounted on off-white card, neat italic pencil caption and `O[riental?] No 13` below image with photographer`s printed credit beneath, mount spotted and soiled, old damp mark to left margin, mount size 416 x 330 mm.Part of Roger Fenton`s Oriental suite of studies made in his London studio in the summer of 1858. Of the fifty-one negatives in the series of which there are extant prints only a small number were exhibited by Fenton in Edinburgh, London and Paris. All the photographs are rare and many of the surviving prints have come from the albums thought to have been Fenton`s own, known as the `grey paper` albums (sold by Christie`s between 1978 and 1982). For more information see Gordon Baldwin, `Roger Fenton: Pasha and Bayadere`, (Getty Museum, 1996). An export ban is currently in place by the British Culture Minister on one of only two known examples of `Pasha and Bayadere` with an asking price of £109,000. The photograph is similar to that shown in lot 638B with props and figures in near-identical positions, though the central figure believed to be Fenton in the `Pasha and Bayadere` photograph is here clearly another man [Frank Dillon?] who appears in the composition of lots 638A-638C.

HEMINGWAY & KARSH: [HEMINGWAY ERNEST] (1899-1961) American Novelist, Nobel Prize winner for Literature, 1954 & KARSH YOUSUF (1908-2002) Canadian Photographer. A fascinating archive of eight T.Ls.S. etc., between Mary Hemingway and Yousuf Karsh, including a typed manuscript with extensive holograph corrections in pencil in the hand of Ernest Hemingway, one page, 4to, n.p. (Cuba), n.d. (c. 3rd June 1957), being the working draft of a letter from Mary Hemingway to Hector Allard, Canadian Ambassador to Cuba, in part (the holograph corrections by Ernest Hemingway are marked in bold), ‘I am sorry to have to inform you that Mr. Karsh, the Canadian photographer, who came to our house and photographed Mr. Hemingway this year after long insistence by the Canadian Embassy, is breaking the agreement under which my husband consented to pose….The proposal was that a resulting photograph was to be used in a book of portraits….At no time was there any mention nor any hint that the photographs would be sold commercially…unless authorised…Mr. Karsh…voluntarily promised to send us prints of all the photographs so that we might veto the use of those which were unsuitable or silly or unlike Ernest. Mr. Karsh has sent us no prints to ok or reject nor….even a note to acknowledge our hospitality. We hear from London that he has sold and was (sic) published not only a picture of Ernest but also some sort of story in the Daily Express….This sort of unethical behaviour is very bad when a man comes sponsored by his government. Mr. Hemingway would never have consented to pose for unauthorised pictures if he had imagined they were to be peddled about to any buyer…’ A carbon copy of Mary Hemingway’s final letter, reflecting her husband’s corrections, is present, along with Hector Allard’s response in the form of a T.L.S., Hector Allard, two pages, 4to, Havana, Cuba, 5th June 1957, to Mrs. Hemingway, on the printed stationery of the Canadian Embassy, stating that he was ‘somewhat startled’ to read her letter and explaining that he has already contacted Karsh and awaits his reply. The archive includes six T.Ls.S., Yousuf Karsh and Yousuf, from Karsh on his printed stationery, ten pages (total), 8vo, Ottawa, Canada, 28th February 1956 to 8th October 1957, most to Mary and Ernest Hemingway, the first to Canadian Ambassador Harry Scott, thanking him for trying to arrange a sitting with Hemingway and commenting ‘Yes, I sensed that he would be somewhat reticent, judging by all that I have read and heard…I do not feel that the door is entirely closed, and I should be delighted to receive a “go ahead” signal from you at any time’, in the letters to the Hemingway’s Karsh expresses his pleasure at having had the opportunity to photograph the writer and hopes that they will feel ‘that our efforts have been crowned with success’ and further commenting ‘I found photographing Ernest Hemingway to be a most stimulating and rewarding experience….The small snaps are sent only for your amusement and to show you that even professionals never totally get over the urge to take advantage of certain situations’ and in a further letter responds directly to the Hemingway’s complaint lodged with Hector Allard, hoping that the photographs have now reached them, and adding ‘I recall a conversation between Mr. Hemingway and Solange when he assured her that such photographs would be welcome for publication and, as far as we were aware, there were no restrictions as to when and how they should be released. After all, my whole life and reputation has been built on the achievement of the great men and women of our time and I have never…(released)…anything that does not bespeak the stature of my subject…’ In subsequent letters Karsh thanks Mary Hemingway for her understanding letter and, in one dated 21st August 1958, presumably regarding Karsh’s request for Ernest Hemingway to write a foreword to a book, which he evidently declined to do, the photographer writes ‘I was fully aware that I was “shooting for the stars” in expressing, through you, to Ernest, my desire….Yet I feel impelled to send you this further note just in case there is a slight ray of hope….whilst I know full well that no money can adequately compensate Ernest for his precious time and talent I would like to suggest a fee of $1000.…May I suggest that you just hand this letter to Ernest and, if he still feels a “savage” resentment at the intrusion, tell him that I am willing to fly to Cuba so that he may throw me to the lions. If Ernest should change his mind, I have had one former experience of another great man doing just that-Winston Churchill, who, at the conclusion of our photographic meeting delivered the potent statement: “You can even make a roaring lion stand still to be photographed”. So in that event, the boy Yousuf (and I do feel very much the infant) will, in sure confidence, approach the giant Hemingway, whom he holds in such high regard…’ Also included in the archive are a few related telegrams etc. The letters provide an interesting insight into how the two great artists dealt with their work; Hemingway’s reticence and delegation of business to his wife and Karsh’s persistence and flattery.

PERRAULT CHARLES: (1628-1703) French Author who laid the foundations for a new literary genre, the Fairy Tale.

His most famous stories are still in print today and have been made into operas, ballets, plays, musicals and both live action and animated films. D.S., Perrault, one page, 8vo, Versailles, 2nd December 1672.

KIPLING RUDYARD: (1865-1936) English Author, Nobel Prize winner for Literature, 1907. A good A.L.S., Rudyard Kipling, two pages, 8vo, Brattleboro, Vermont, 20th December 1893, to Mr. Rideing. Kipling states that he has received his correspondent`s letter suggesting an article for the Companion and adding `Now that I have seen some of the mothers of the youths who read the paper I may perhaps be able to come nearer to its demands.` The author continues `I find in my notebooks the story of a young apprentice in the repairing shops of the….great Indian railroad. We will suppose he is 18 or 19-sketch the life of the railway community and a railway town in India (Bengal)` further explaining that it will illustrate the differences between American and Indian life, and that he would prefer to write 3500 words. In concluding Kipling thanks his correspondent for a Jungle life series and remarks `I am doing a set of tales on the same subject more or less for St. Nicholas : giving the jungle people`s views of man kind.` Together with a small 4to printed caricature of Kipling by Thomas Nast, neatly mounted to a 4to card to which there are various black ink additions and an inscription at the base, `To Wm. H. Rideing, with compliments of the season`. A letter of fine literary content, not least for its reference to The Jungle Book. Some heavy discoloration to the edges of the letter and caricature caused by previous framing, only just affecting the text but not signature. G The Jungle Book, perhaps Kipling`s most famous work, is a collection of stories that were first published in magazines between 1893-94. The tales in the book, featuring the characters Mowgli, a young jungle boy, Baloo, Shere Khan and Rikki-Tikki-Tava among others, are fables using animals in an anthropomorphic manner to give moral lessons.

Bedford, written in shorthand. Shaw announces `All my works are written in Pitman as far as first drafts are concerned` and continues `But you will look in vain in my shorthand for grammalogues and logorams, and contractions and word groups which make verbatim reporting possible. I have long since discarded most of them as unnecessary for my work, and very baffling to the typist who has to transcribe it. Of course I retain the ticks and dots that stand arbitrarily for the articles, prepositions, and conjuctions, with some of the words that occur most frequently; but for the rest, when there is no speaker to pace me, and my speed can be no greater than at which I can compose, I find it far easier, and consequently shorter, to spell the word fully than to recollect or invent a contraction for it.` Shaw further writes `You must also allow for the fact that I learned shorthand sixty years ago. During that time it has been necessary to make changes to prevent the textbooks from falling out of copyright into the public domain. I have not followed these changes. I place the short vowels in the old way, and have some other obsolete tricks that baffle the up-to-date typist.` and in concluding adds `I have done a good deal of my writing in the train, and I have found Pitman, because the characters are not written, but drawn, resists the joggling of the carriage much better than longhand, which is often hopelessly illegible under such circumstances.` A letter of good content, accompanied by a complete transcript.

Ferrier writes to her correspondent providing extensive details of her career, remarking `Here is everything I can think of that is neither libellous nor imprint able!` The singer informs Giddy, `Worked in the Civil Service by day and studied piano & accompanied & played solos at concerts in and around Lancashire at night….Also won piano in National Competition run by Daily Express in which many, now famous, pianists also entered and won. Entered Musical Festival at Carlisle for wager, and won Contralto Solo, & Rose Bowl for best singer of Festival & first prize piano….Had my first singing lesson in 1940 from Dr. J. E. Hutchinson of Newcastle-on-Tyne & under his conductorship sang first big Messiah performance at the City Hall, N`castle. The next year Dr. Malcolm Sargent heard me sing and recommended me to Mr. Tillett of Ibbs & Tillett. In 1942 (Xmas) removed to London and studied & (still studying) with Mr. Roy Henderson who has helped me more than I can say….and am supposed to have had meteoric rise! (fingers crossed!). Most exciting dates include two Xmas Messiah broadcasts (1944 & 1945) & the last Prom. Performance (1945) in the R. Albert Hall. The latter rather wearing as the parts for my aria were in the wrong key-3rd too high-& the right ones only arrived at 1pm making very hurried rehearsal. Never forget the sight of the R.A.H. crammed to suffocation.` Ferrier further recounts an amusing anecdote about the difficulties she encountered when travelling by train to a small village in Yorkshire in order to sing Messiah and in concluding states that she will be `having first shot at opera` in the summer when she appears in the title role of Benjamin Britten`s new work The Rape of Lucretia. A rare letter of outstanding content. Some minor tape stains and small tears in the upper left corner of each page, only slightly affecting the text but not signature, otherwise VG Benjamin Britten wrote his two act opera The Rape of Lucretia for Kathleen Ferrier and is the first work to which the composer applied his term "chamber opera".

The letter states that out of every pound sterling he is to be allowed sixpence to pay the collectors and those who bring the proceeds to the Chamber of the City of London and to issue books of numbers and tickets. Elizabeth`s letter further provides assurances of the good use to which the proceeds will be put (`Anything advantagious is ordered to be employed to good and publique acts and beneficially for o[u]r Realme and o[u]r Subjects`) and orders to counter any accusations of misuse and to cause to be arrested and punished those who persist in `slanderous reports`. As a final incentive to Spencer, for every five hundred pounds sent to London a further 50 shillings will be allowed to him. With integral address leaf bearing a good blind embossed paper seal. Some very light, extremely minor age wear, overall a clean and attractive letter. VG The present letter was written as a result of Queen Elizabeth I chartering the first official recorded lottery in 1566, however a lack of public support delayed the first draw until 1569.

The Foreign Office tells me that people with even the Christian name of "Lawrence" used to be arrested at the frontier, & once a German journalist who looked rather like T.E. was kept in prison for a fortnight, so the outlook is not too good.` Lawrence adds `It seems an extreme measure to change my name at short notice & if the change came to the knowledge of the Persians I`d probably stay there for life.` A letter of fine content, with its reference to T.

Moulton, three pages, 8vo, 48 (RM) Commando, B.L.A., 24th July 1944, to Lt. R. D. Curtis. Written in pencil, Moulton conveys sad news as the result of an investigation, `The circumstances of your brother`s death were that he was wounded early on D Day, received immediate medical treatment and was then sent to the Beach Dressing Station for further care and evacuation to England. At the Beach Dressing Station he must have died of his wounds. He was buried in the vicinity of the beach, his grave is in a war cemetery and has been properly marked and cared for.` Moulton continues to give his personal recollections of Curtis, `Geoff is a great loss. He was a promising officer and a grand chap. He was always cheerful and keen. I shall long remember him….in the trying climate, discomfort and hard work, he was always to the fore and always ready with a joke or a laugh when the rest seemed depressed. You may have heard that his troop commander, who was also with him in Sicily, was also killed on D-Day. The loss of lives like these is hard to bear, they were the price we paid for the success of our landings. In that success their leadership and bravery paid no small part.` Accompanied by the original envelope (FR), also signed by Moulton. VG Temporary Lieutenant Edward Geoff Curtis of the Royal Marines 48 commando participated in Operation Overlord and the Normandy Landings, 6th June 1944, and died of his wounds.

MONTGOLFIER ETIENNE: (1745-1799) French Balloonist who, with his brother Joseph, made the first balloon to ascend, capable of sustaining a weight equivalent to that of a man, 25th April 1783. Extremely rare Autograph Note, unsigned, being four lines of holograph text at the foot of a letter from the Comte d’Antraigues, four pages, 8vo, La Bastide, 12th June 1784, to Madame Saint-Huberty, in French. The Count writes an interesting letter to his correspondent, discussing his travels through the French countryside with Montgolfier (‘These are not great plains, but charming valleys covered with woods and lush, rain soaked meadows. A delicious coolness reigns everywhere. We have long been battling, Montgolfier and I, about the place where we would situate our small estate…’) and further commenting, ‘Arriving in Le Puy, I was entering that part of the country where my estates are situated, and I was soon made aware of this fact the next day by the boring round of visits, long speeches, endless ceremonies and three hour dinners awaiting me there. Word had got around, via my people, that I had been up in Montgolfier’s balloon, so you can well imagine that one speech-maker made the most of it. I was complimented and praised for my amazing daring. Well, despite the seriousness demanded by such a gathering, I’m afraid I could not refrain from laughing out loud to his face. I suddenly remembered my fear as we had come close to crashing into some trees, my bravery obviously sadly lacking in this instance-the orator remaining unaware of this anecdote that would have made a nonsense of his speech’. In concluding his lengthy letter, d’Antraigues writes, ‘But here is Montgolfier, impatient to be remembered to you…’ beneath which the balloonist has penned four lines of text, ‘Monsieur le Comte d’ Antraigues, being too busy entertaining Madame St. Hubertin, leaves to his travelling companion the job of sending you his best regards.’ An exceptionally rare example of Montgolfier’s holograph, enhanced by the content of his friend’s letter referring to a balloon flight. VG Provenance: Accompanied by the original invoice and catalogue entry from Charavay of Paris, October 1977.
