Ireland - The Easter Rising 1916 group of approx eight letters written to Lady Denys-Burton giving contemporaneous accounts of the Easter Rising April and May 1916: `...there was this awful business in Dublin in Monday^ the Sin Finers [sic] as they say entrenched in Stephens green - they have taken the PO in Dublin so no letters are allowed through and no trains...Coleman who went up in a motor - his motor seized by Sin Fien [sic] people to barricade a building...some say Sir Roger Casement was landed in Kerry by a German submarine & has been shot !! This I hope is true. I am told that 4000 national volunteers marched to Dublin from Maryborough yesterday and that all the national volunteers are to be ordered to join the Sin Fien lot or be shot...people say that 1000 have been killed in Dublin & that Grafton St is running with blood !! This is probably exaggerated but anyhow it is very serious & unless Redmond can do something & get the upper hand of national volunteers it will mean Civil War...` (letter dated April 26th 1916) `...I am thankful to say that Sir R Casement is taken. Why is he not shot at once. All Ireland is under Marshall law...it is evidently a plot for Dublin to be taken by Sin Fieners & the Germans...the Sin Finers in P O in Dublin have been given till today to surrender or be all blown up...` (letter dated April 27th 1916). `...today we hear on best authority - someone back from London - that Casement has been shot. I am thankful for this...Countess Markovitx is they say also shot. Dublin is being bombarded. You can hear the guns ...there are all sorts of stories of risings in the west but nothing authenticated...(letter dated April 29th 1916)

Bootlegger`s Map of the United States This unique map spoofing prohibition is by Edward McCandlish. Filled with puns, nothing is sacred in this hilarious look at alcohol and prohibition. Many place names are plays on words, like Chi-keg-o, Tus-Keg-ee, Mash-ville, Albu-Corky, Scoth (sic) Bluff, Booze (Boise), and many more (some so bad they hurt) - The pints of the compass are Norse, Wets, Yeast, and Souse. McCandlish was a prominent illustrator for the children`s page in many newspapers in the 1920`s and 1930`s, making this parody a radical departure. A wonderful piece of Americana that beautifully captures the humor and mood of the time. Issued folding and now flattened and backed with Japanese tissue with numerous fold separations that have been professionally repaired on verso with minimal loss of image and a minor amount of image skillfully replaced in facsimile. There is light toning and soiling primarily along the folds. 22 W x 32 H 1926

Jean COCTEAU. 4 L.A.S. et un tapuscrit signé avec corrections autographes, 1952-1954, à Marc-Gilbert Guillaumin dit Marc’O ; 4 pages et 3 pages in-4. St Jean Cap Ferrat 9 septembre 1952. Il lui envoie un article : « Si l’article vous intéresse, publiez-le »... – Le tapuscrit, Usage externe, encourage la liberté de création et le renouveau de la scène artistique : « La jeunesse, et elle a raison, ne peut ni ne doit se résoudre à passer de la scène dans la salle. D’un jeu d’acteur aux fauteuils d’orchestre. Elle est mouvement. Le piège qui la menace est l’École. Dès qu’un mouvement devient École, il se fige et l’artiste debout, s’asseoit. C’est difficile de vivre debout, de manger debout, de dormir debout, je vous l’accorde. Un Mouvement en arrive presque toujours au dogme, fût-ce celui de la liberté qui prend vite allure d’esclavage. Libre de n’être pas libre. C’est la formule américaine. Car la jeunesse iconoclaste se sculpte une idole de résultats. Arriver où ? À quelle heure ? Je vous le demande. On ne part ni on arrive. On est »... Égratignant au passage Mauriac, il termine par un quatrain, également intitulé Usage externe : « Je résiste assez mal à la chute des corps / Mon âme se repose assise entre deux chaises / à ma table invité, je suis le chiffre 13 / Et le sommeil m’encombre avec ses vieux décors ». [L’article paraîtra dans le n°3 de la revue Le soulèvement de la jeunesse, fondée par Marc’O]. – 28 septembre 1952. « Vous avez, j’en suis sûr, très bien deviné que mes réserves ne sont pas des réserves mais sont un mécanisme d’effluves qui disparaissent (dont l’efficace disparaît) dès qu’on les constate. J’ai toujours peur, un matin, par distraction de raser mes antennes. Saviez-vous qu’une oreille malade pousse des poils pour se défendre. Il est probable que je mourrai debout »... Et à propos de son article : « J’ai fait ici un très gros travail. [...] L’article était surtout une preuve de l’amitié que je vous porte. Un signe »... Samedi [1954]. Après un rendez-vous manqué : « Je peux dire sincèrement que je regrette d’avoir à vous reprocher une mauvaise grâce qui ne vous ressemble pas. J’ai été très malade et je le suis encore. Il est vrai qu’on n’a pas le droit d’être malade. Au reste, malade, je travaille et répète La Machine infernale après midi et soir »... [Autriche] 17 février 1954. Il se rétablit difficilement. Quant à la programmation de Closed Vision de Marc’O au Cinéma d’Essai (avec Le Sang d’un poète), on lui fait des histoires pour la grande salle. « Par contre la petite salle est excellente et j’ai constaté que le même film avait un public attentif dans la petite salle et inattentif dans la grande. En ce qui concerne Le Sang d’un poète votre idée me semble bonne mais il faudrait que le film sorte non pas en vieille copie mais d’après une copie neuve. […] Je rechigne toujours à donner Le Sang d’un poète en France à cause de cette immense bêtise inculte dont vous avez aussi à souffrir »...

Jean COCTEAU. Manuscrit autographe signé, [avril 1954] ; 2 pages in-4 (traces de trombone). Discours de présentation du film Closed Vision de Marc’O au Festival de Cannes de 1954. Essai symboliste et révolutionnaire, ce premier long-métrage de Marc’O devait, selon Cocteau, sauver le cinéma en produisant un choc sur les spectateurs, guère habitués à ce nouveau type de langage poétique. Il le présenta à Cannes avec Louis Buñuel. Il s’agit ici d’un brouillon du discours, avec ratures et corrections. La version définitive du texte comportera quelques variantes. « Même si je désapprouvais le film de Marc’O et de Yolande du Luart réalisé par Vickman – ce qui n’est pas le cas – je le présenterais quand même. L’essentiel est qu’il existe et qu’il veuille vivre. On connaît l’obstacle que l’industrialisation du cinématographe à la jeunesse. Un jeune a fait ce qu’il voulait faire. Je ne le juge pas. Je le présente. Un jour Marc’O me téléphona qu’il souhaitait me montrer son film Closed Vision et que je le présentasse au festival de Cannes. […] Lorsque nous fîmes, il y a trente ans, Buñuel L’âge d’Or et moi Le Sang d’un poète, nous ne nous doutions pas que nos films courraient le monde et fixeraient l’esprit d’une époque. En outre, à distance, les esprits antagonistes se confondent en un seul style et Buñuel me raconte qu’il arrive au Mexique qu’on lui attribue Le Sang d’un poète et qu’on m’attribue Le Chien Andalou. Il est possible que Closed Vision fixe l’esprit d’une époque et même qu’on s’en serve pour condamner une époque. […] Salvador Dali me parlait dernièrement à Madrid d’une science nouvelle qu’il baptise : Phoenixologie. C’est la science qui consiste à mourir plusieurs fois de suite et à revivre en chair et en os. On observe ce phénomène dans nos vieux films. On le retrouve dans Closed Vision – ce qui prouverait qu’il existe une tradition de l’avant-garde ou de ce qu’on a coutume d’afficher comme tel. Un jeune homme qui s’exprime avec singularité s’exprime à la minute même où sa révolte l’exige. Être un précurseur est chose impensable (cela reviendrait à se promener avec un parapluie ouvert l’avant-veille d’un orage). Il serait plus juste de constater que les autres retardent sur un acte qui enfonce sa griffe quand il se doit. Marc’O enfonce-t-il sa griffe ? Seule une tireuse de cartes pourrait me répondre »â€¦ On joint une photographie originale de Jean Cocteau avec Marc’O à Cannes en 1954 (par A. Traverso, 13 x 18 cm), et une photographie de Cocteau avec Guy Debord et Marc’O à la villa Santo-Sospir (vers 1951-1952, contretype).

Guy Debord (1931-1994). L.A.S. « Guy-Ernest », Cannes 23 septembre [1951], à « Marco » [Marc-Gilbert Guillaumin dit Marc’O] ; 2 pages in-4. Belle lettre de jeunesse, publiée dans le volume 0 de la Correspondance de Guy Debord (2010). Il répond tardivement à sa lettre, reçue à son retour « d’un bref voyage dans Paris et ses proches environs pour des raisons toutes de bave » [allusion au film d’Isidore Isou Traité de bave et d’éternité, produit par Marc’O]. Il regrette de l’avoir manqué à son hôtel, mais il a rencontré Isou : « Je vois donc quelle est la situation. Sitôt arrivé je t’aiderai pour sortir le film. C’est d’ailleurs un travail qui ne me déplaît pas. Il faudra bien que ces pauvres cons acceptent et sans nous faire attendre. On a vu des directeurs de salle se faire buter pour moins. Dans cette ville abandonnée de Dieu – et en général de tout créateur ; j’ai fait ce que tu m’as demandé avant de partir. Avec cinq camarades j’ai fort gêné la projection du film du jeune G. Albicocco [Debord a ici collé une coupure de presse au sujet du court-métrage en question, Absolve domine]. Heureuse conséquence ? Pour la première fois de sa carrière encore brève, l’idiot n’a pas obtenu son prix habituel dans un festival de la connerie noire. D’autre part j’ai jeté les bases du ciné-club que tu voulais (et déjà son premier directeur à la porte) – Actuellement ils sont acceptables, et aux prises avec de lourdes difficultés pour trouver les 30 ou 40 billets nécessaires pour démarrer. Enfin jeudi dernier, après une discussion serrée de 5 heures dans un bar du quartier, j’ai fait admettre qu’Isou est dieu à mon ami Hervé Falcou, que tu as vu à Cannes. Je suis très fier de ce dernier résultat, presque autant que d’être le (1) manquant dans la seule équation que je connaisse par cÅ“ur »â€¦ Isou lui a parlé de la possibilité de réserver une chambre dans son hôtel, et prie de la retenir pour lui pour octobre : « Excuse-moi de t’importuner de ces nécessités très peu éternelles, et d’en souligner le caractère d’urgence. Je veux te lire, en attendant absolument je te salue (il faut révolutionner les formules de politesse) »... On joint une photographie originale d’Isidore Isou marchant dans la rue (1951, 12 x 8,5 cm), et une de l’affiche pour les récitals lettristes au Tabou (1950, 8,5 x 9 cm) ; plus 2 contretypes de Marc’O et son équipe pour le tournage du film d’Isou.
