Early issues are almost as hard to find as they are to identify correctly with a minefield of issue points that require verifying. This copy has been identified as the fourth issue due to the variance in part to the honorifics applied to some of the subscribers listed (a list which does include one Samuel Johnson here though identifed as Mr rather than Dr so possibly not the lexicographer); further indicators include The Singers at Osset instead of Osset and Perkins organist of Findon instead of Finedon. There is also an additional centralised pagination on some ff. taken from the 1769 issue of A Fourth Set of Favourite Bass Songs and different ornamentation on the printed pages..

Carter, pubs. ad. leaf at rear, title-page with early ms. ownership name at head, with portion of blank margin above torn away, occn. minor spotting and off-setting, hinges split, orig. blind-panelled cloth gilt, lightly soiled, extrems. frayed, large 8vo. Garrison Morton 418. The rare first edition of this classic medical text, which has been more widely used by successive generations of medical students and doctors than any other. Celebrated physician Henry Gray (1827-1861) was chiefly engaged in anatomical research and teaching at St. George’s Hospital in London. The ambitious and ebullient surgeon performed the dissections required for the book with his shy and retiring colleague, Henry Vandyke Carter, who provided the exquisitely detailed drawings. On publication the book was immediately acclaimed for its simple layout and clarity. Carter’s hand in its success has always been somewhat overlooked, and indeed, Gray himself requested that Carter’s name appear in smaller print than his own on the title-page. However, Gray died suddenly of smallpox at the age of 34, whereas Carter went on to achieve some modest acclaim for his medical research amongst the poorest people in India. (1)

* Pinter (Harold, 1930-2008). Typed letter signed ‘Harold Pinter’, 7 Hanover Terrace, Regents Park, London, NW1, 4 November 1966, to Master Seaman, a pithy response to the schoolboy’s questions about Pinter’s play ‘The Caretaker’, and Seaman’s studying of it in Form 5A, ‘I will answer your questions quite frankly’, and followed by ten numbered single sentence answers e.g., ‘Davies’ papers are at Sidcup because that’s where they are’, ‘His name is assumed because he assumed it’, ‘The two brothers see little of each other because they rarely meet’, ‘Aston fiddles with his plugs because he likes doing it’, ‘When he goes out to walk, he walks’, ‘The monk swears at Davies because he doesn’t like him’, ‘Davies doesn’t like coloured people’, ‘He refuses to believe that he makes noises during the night’, The buddha is a buddha’, and ‘The shed is a shed’, the seemingly irascible tone of the letter is assuaged by the conclusion, ‘I assure you that these answers to your questions are not intended to be funny. My best wishes to you all’, light brown mark and crease to upper left corner, one page, 4to, together with a first edition of the playscript, pub. Encore [precedes the Methuen edition], 1960, a few leaves creased, orig. stapled wrappers (with cover design by John Harmer), sl. spotting and soiling, slim 8vo.

It was Pinter’s sixth play and his first significant commercial success. (1)

Wilde (Oscar).

An outstanding and previously unknown association copy, gifted to the current owner by his mother’s landlady in Paris some forty years ago. Mason 348: ‘Salome was being rehearsed in June 1892 for production at the Palace Theatre, London, by Madame Sarah Bernhardt (with M. Albert Darmont as Herod) when the Lord Chamberlain withheld his licence on the ground that the play introduced biblical characters.’ The play which Wilde began writing in 1891 eventually found its first performance at the Theatre de l’Oeuvre in Paris on 11 February 1896. The English translation of the text first appeared in 1894. The influence of the celebrated French Symbolist painter Gustave Moreau (1826-1898) on Oscar Wilde’s vision for his play Salome is often cited as self-evident yet there is scant documentary evidence. It is not known that they ever met, and indeed Moreau is not mentioned once in the Complete Letters of Oscar Wilde (2000). Oscar Wilde complained to Charles Ricketts after seeing Aubrey Beardsley’s drawings for the English edition: ‘My Herod is like the Herod of Gustave Moreau, wrapped in his jewels and his sorrows. My Salome is a mystic, the sister of Salammbo, a Saint Therese who worships the moon.’ This inscribed copy puts beyond doubt Wilde’s admiration for and his debt to the great French painter.. In May 1884 Wilde visited Paris as a newly wed with his wife Constance just weeks after the publication of Joris-Karl Huysman’s influential decadent novel A Rebours. While there Wilde visited the Louvre to see Moreau’s celebrated The Apparition. This watercolour of Salome dancing before Herod had been exhibited alongside another oil painting of the same subject at the Paris Salon of 1876. The exhibition drew newspaper reports and the crowds with over 500,000 people flocking to see the two pictures. Moreau set in train Symbolist ideas and the artistic craze for the femme fatale Salome which Wilde was so keen to turn into French words and stage design. Moreau himself returned to the theme often, producing some nineteen paintings, six watercolours and more than 150 drawings of the same subject. Interestingly, the frontispiece to this lot (inserted by Wilde?) is a photograph from a watercolour of Salome Dancing from c. 1886 now hanging in the Musee d’Orsay. It shows Salome more richly robed and with a more Pre-Raphaelite look than the two famous pictures of 1876. After 1880 Moreau never exhibited at the Salons (or anywhere) again and refused to allow his pictures to be reproduced. Where this photographic frontispiece then came from is not the only question left begging. Are the endpapers and binding decoration from Moreau’s designs and did Wilde or Moreau or another insert the photograph? Moreau was himself influenced by Gustave Flaubert’s novel Salammbo (1862) but Moreau’s influence on the arts was to be more profound, most notably through Huysman’s novel A Rebours where the aesthete Des Esseintes sees Salome not as the dancing girl of the New Testament, but ‘she had become in some way, the symbolic deity of indestructible lust, the Goddess of immortal Hysteria, the accursed Beauty exalted above all other beauties … the monstrous Beast...’ Des Esseintes hangs Moreau’s two famous Salome paintings side by side at his home so that he could: ‘consider the beginnings of this great artist, this mythical pagan, this seer who could conjure up in the everyday world of Paris such visions and magical apotheoses of other ages.’. Richard Ellmann in his noted biography of Oscar Wilde (1988) wrote: ‘The principal engenderer of the story was an account in the fifth chapter of Huysmans’s A Rebours of two paintings by Gustave Moreau, and in the fourteenth chapter of the same book a quotation from Mallarme’s ‘Herodiade’. In one painting the aged Herod is being stirred by Salome’s lascivious but indifferent dance; in the other Salome is being presented with the Baptist’s head giving forth rays on a charger. Huysmans attributes to Salome the mythopoeic force that Pater attributes to the Mona Lisa, and mentions that writers have never succeeded in rendering her adequately’ (p. 321). ‘Wilde’s knowledge of the iconography of Salome was immense. He complained that Rubens’s Salome appeared to him to be ‘an apoplectic Maritornes’. On the other hand, Leonardo’s Salome was excessively incorporeal. Others, by Durer, Ghirlandaio, van Thulden, were unsatisfactory because incomplete. The celebrated Salome of Regnault he considered to be a mere ‘gypsy’. Only Moreau satisfied him, and he liked to quote Huysmans’s description of the Moreau paintings’ (p. 323). (1)

He anglicised his surname from ‘Battenburg’ to ‘Mountbatten’ in 1917, when the king created him Marquess of Milford Haven. His second son was created Earl Mountbatten of Burma in 1947. (1)
