Kyle (Hedi, b.1937). Alphabet flag book, 1990, flag book bound concertina style, opening out to reveal twenty-seven card leaves in three horizontal rows, each leaf illustrating a letter of the alphabet in colour on one side and in black & white on the other, final leaf illustrating the whole alphabet, signed and dated in pencil at rear hinge, original white boards printed in black with letters and illustrations, 31.5 x 16.5cm (12.5 x 6.5ins) Limited edition, 50/65 copies, signed by Hedi Kyle. Generally regarded as one of the most significant innovators and makers of artist's books during the 1970s and 1980s, Hedi Kyle is credited with creating the first flag book in 1979 with 'April Diary'. The structure of her innovation is deceptively simple, consisting of an accordion folded spine, with rows of tabs attached to opposing sides of each of the folds to allow the artist to fragment and layer a number of complementary or contrasting images and narratives. When read page by page, the viewer sees disjointed fragments of image and text. When the spine is pulled fully open, these fragments assemble a panoramic spread, accompanied by a flapping sound, to give a scuptural form. (1)

TITANIC DISASTER; White Star Line 1st Class Saloon Steward A highly important collection of historic documents, photograph and other items relating to Edward William Peter BARROWS. Born in London in 1880, Barrows went to sea at an early age as a steward and made several sailings in the employ of various shipping lines, serving in the P&O liner SS India and the Canadian Pacific liner Empress of Britain before joining the White Star Line in April 1912. He was appointed to Titanic by John Bartholomew, the company's Victualing Superintendent at Southampton, signing joining papers on the 9th April 1912 as a 1st Class Saloon Steward for her maiden voyage. His monthly wages were £3 15s. William Barrows gave his address as 34 Hanover Street, Islington, London N., which was a public house called the 'Island Queen', the landlord, Richard Harman, was Barrows' stepfather. Barrows died in the sinking of Titanic, his body, if recovered, was never identified. Important manuscript letter to Barrows' sister in detailing his preparations for the maiden voyage of Titanic, dated 9 April 1912: 'My dear Mary I am glad to say that I signed on this afternoon on the "Titanic". I am sleeping aboard the ship tonight, we sail tomorrow all being well. I managed to get a waiting jacket but I shall have to order a new uniform the next time home, as the new jacket is a little bit short but it will have to do this time. I hope everything is all right at home. I have dropped in for a side job which will earn another couple of quid extra a voyage. We are due home next Saturday fortnight Love & Best Wishes to all, Your affectionate Brother Will Place all laundry and things in middle draw in the chest of drawers in my room' Photograph of Edward William Peter Barrows in stewards' whites on board unidentified vessel. Photograph mounted on card. Two Post Office Telegraphs, one sent to Mrs Barrows (Mrs Harman's previous married name) between 15 and 18 April: 'No news yet will wire latest Ismay', the other 19 April: 'Regret William Barrows not reported saved. Bartholomew'. J. Bruce Ismay was the Chairman and Managing Director of the White Star Line and in his name important telegrams like this would be signed. Ismay himself was a passenger on board Titanic. John Bartholomew, former chief steward in Oceanic, was the White Star Line's first Victualing Superintendent at Southampton. He knew all his staff personally and for Titanic had the responsibility of selecting the most experienced and best stewards to work in First Class. One of these was William Barrows. Part of his work was the employment of stewards, cooks, bakers etc. and his task in the weeks and months following the disaster was to send out telegrams like this example informing relatives about their loved ones. Of the 322 stewards on board only about 60 survived.
