MARAT JEAN PAUL: (1743-1793) French Political Theorist, Scientist and radical Journalist during the French Revolution, advocating for basic human rights for the poorest, and publishing on his periodical L´Ami du Peuple (“The People´s Friend”). Marat was assassinated in 1793 and became a revolutionary martyr to the Jacobins. Rare A.N.S., `Marat l´ami du Peuple´, on both sides of a clipped 12mo piece, Paris, January 1790, to Miss Victoria to the verso, in French. To the front clipped piece Marat states `..who denounced me at your assembly - who is the author of the letter… `[M]arat l´ami du Peuple.. January 1790. - de Ste Marguerite. F.S.A´. To the verso Marat´s hand written text states `Miss Victoria, good evening, and to my friends, I kindly ask you to give a payment on account of 81 Pounds to..´. An interesting document, Marat addiing alongside his signature `L´Ami du Peuple´, identifying himself as the people´s friend, the name of his newspaper, only founded three months earlier. F £800-1200On September 1789, Marat began his own newspaper, entitled first Publiciste Parisien (“Parisian Publicist”), before changing its name few days after to L´Ami du Peuple ("The People's friend"). From this newspaper, he often attacked the most influential and powerful groups in Paris, including the Commune and ministers. In January 1790, date of the present document, he moved to the radical Cordeliers section, then under the leadership of Danton. He was nearly arrested for his aggressive attacks against Jacques Necker, Louis XVI´s Finance Minister, and was forced to flee to London.

§ Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881-1973) "Pour mes chers fiancés" - a signed and inscribed title page of L'Oeuvre Gravé de Picasso, dedicated to the engaged couple, Sylvette David and Tobias Jellinek, who later married in 1956 and with sketches of them dated 20.4.56 upper left and signed in pastel "Picasso" lower centre red and blue pastel on paper 27 x 21½cm (11 x 8in) Provenance: Given by Pablo Picasso to Sylvette David and Tobias Jellinek who later married; thence sold to to Eila Grahame Other Notes: "In 1956 the art periodical, VERVE, had an image of Sylvette on the cover and Sylvette and I were given a copy. We went to see Picasso that day and took the book with us, and asked Picasso if he would sign it for us. He went and found some coloured crayons and wrote the dedication, adding the little sketch of us both. The likeness of Sylvette shows how comfortable he was with producing her image, which he had previously worked with for several months. His drawing of me with my new beard is less of a likeness!" Tobias Jellinek, April 2017. Pablo Picasso had been working on a portrait of Sylvette David, aged 19, as the girl with the pony tail before doing the present cartoon sketch. "Sylvette" is the title of one of Picasso's numerous paintings featuring a young woman with a pony tail. The model for the painting, Lydia Sylvette David, also known later by her married name Lydia Corbett, was a French woman who, during the summer of 1953, worked in a pottery studio near Picasso's studio in Vallauris. Finding her appearance appealing, Picasso created 40 works inspired by her. Sylvette's portrait from 2 May 1954 is one of the last of a long series. Picasso's grandson Olivier Widmaier Picasso told the Chicago Sun-Times in 2004 that Sylvette was also the subject of the monumental "Chicago Picasso" which had been a matter of curiosity since it was unveiled. She was said to have been an inspiration for actress Brigitte Bardot and the Roger Vadim film "And God Created Woman". In 1998 Barron's published "Picasso and the Girl With a Ponytail" by Laurence Anholt - a children's book in which a shy teenager named Sylvette meets Picasso in Vallauris and becomes his model. Lydia Corbett is now an artist in her own right. Galleries exhibiting her work include Fosse Gallery Fine Art, with one exhibition being aptly named 'The Girl With the Ponytail', and the Francis Kyle Gallery. Slight damp staining along the upper right margin. Mounted and framed.

DOUGLAS ALFRED: (1870-1945) English Author & Poet, the intimate friend and lover of Oscar Wilde. A.L.S., Alfred Douglas, four pages, 4to, Hove, Sussex, 3rd September 1941, to Mr. [Collin] Brooks. Douglas announces ‘Of course I remember our correspondence about St John Lucas perfectly. You were not the editor of Truth who wrote to me & whose letter I was trying to find, so I presume you have only lately taken over the editorship’ and continues 'I wish someone would reply to H. G. Wells in today's Daily Mail. The way the left wing are trying to impose socialism on the country under cover of the war & in the teeth of the dumb disapproval of 3 quarters of the electorate is sickening. I send you a copy (no longer present) of the last sonnet I wrote (a week or two ago). It happens to be a very complete answer to Wells & his like although it was not written with an eye on Wells & was really intended to “get at” Frank Owen of the Evening Standard to whom I sent a copy which he ignored. I have sent it to Peter Page of the Daily Mail & I know he would print it in the Mail if he had the power to do so. But I rather expect the editor, Mr. Prear, will shy at the kicks in the pants to “Democracy” which the sonnet contains' further asking ‘If the Mail will not publish the sonnet would you care to have it for Truth?’ and adding 'Though I say it, it is a pretty good sonnet & better than the one on Winston Churchill which was published by the Mail on July 4th last. I'm glad to hear you liked my “Blimp” sonnet “The Old Soldier”…..It produced a very laudatory letter from Capt. Margesson at the War Office'. In a postscript Douglas again returns to the subject of his sonnet, remarking that he has sent the Daily Mail a wire explaining ‘”My sonnet is a complete reply to Wells…” But I hardly expect that the Editor will print it. The Latin tag at the foot of the title in my sonnet is from the Dies Irae, Dies Illa.' A letter of good literary content, not least for its references to H. G. Wells.

DOUGLAS ALFRED: (1870-1945) English Author & Poet, the intimate friend and lover of Oscar Wilde. A.L.S., Alfred Douglas, two pages, 4to, Hove, Sussex 9th September 1941, to Mr. [Collin] Brooks. Douglas writes, in full, 'I've just (8.30pm) received enclosed telegram from Peter (Philip) Page of the Daily Mail. I expect the Editor, Mr Prear, shyed (sic) at the kick in the pants to "Democracy"! I hope you will use the sonnet in Truth. Eight of my sonnets were broadcast by the BBC last Thursday from Manchester. I went there for the occasion on the invitation of the BBC. I wonder if by any chance you listened to the broadcast. It was very late 11pm. I must say I think the sonnets were very well read & I was impressed by the trouble they took in a rehearsal which lasted two hours.'Together with the telegram referred to by Douglas, being the printed received copy, one page, oblong 8vo, Brighton, Sussex, 9th September 1941, addressed to Lord Alfred Douglas and stating, in full, 'Sorry cannot use sonnet letter follows = Peter'.

TERENCE MacSWINEY. FIANNA FAIL (The Irish Army). A Journal for Militant Ireland. Nos. 1-11 (all published). Cork, 19 September - 5 December 1914, various printers. Folio, mostly 4 pp, one double number. Fine copies.This short-lived periodical was edited, financed and mainly written by Terence MacSwiney, later Lord Mayor of Cork, whose death on hunger strike in 1920 was a turning point in the independence struggle. Its main purpose was to support the Irish Volunteers, and to oppose Irish recruitment to the British Army at the outset of the First World War. It reports in detail the attempt to expel a leading Volunteer officer, Sean O’Hegarty from Cork, and the controversy with Redmond over the future of the Volunteers. It was suppressed after the eleventh issue, which reports in large type a promise of German support for Irish freedom given to Roger Casement in Berlin. The printer’s name is cut from the final page of this issue, as in all copies we have seen, presumably for fear of reprisals. It did not circulate outside Cork, and complete sets are extremely rare.

YEATS, W.B.The other cheated deadFirst and only publication of the last of Yeats’ poems in memory of Major Robert Gregory, ‘Reprisals’, in No. 2 of the Ulster poetry periodical Rann (Autumn 1948). It was published there to mark the return of Yeats’ remains to Sligo, and ‘by the kindness of Mrs. Yeats’. A very good copy in original wrappers.Yeats finished his poem in 1920, but withheld it from publication after a request from Lady Gregory, who thought the timing ‘unpropitious’, soon after the Bloody Sunday killings; probably the real reason was that she disliked the notion that her beloved son was ‘cheated’ in death. With its powerful closing lines, it is a direct comment on the Black-and-Tan terror in rural Ireland. The passage about ‘new-married women’ refers to Ellen Quinn, shot dead while holding her child outside her front door in Kiltartan, by men in a passing military lorry. The poem is not in any of Yeats’ collections, and is not in his Collected Poems.

1915 (8 May). After Fortunino Matania. The Last General Absolution of the Munsters at Rue du Bois. Signed. A colour lithograph magazine centrefold, originally published in The Sphere 27 November 1916, inscribed, 'Sincerely yours - Francis A. Gleeson.' Father Francis Gleeson (28 May 1884 – 26 June 1959) was an Irish Roman Catholic priest who served as a British Army chaplain in the First World War. Educated at seminaries near Dublin, Gleeson was ordained in 1910 and worked at a home for the blind before volunteering for service upon the outbreak of war. Commissioned into the Army Chaplains' Department and attached to the 2nd Battalion, Royal Munster Fusiliers he served with them at the First Battle of Ypres. During this battle Gleeson is said to have taken command of the battalion after all the officers were incapacitated by the enemy. On 8 May 1915, on the eve of the Battle of Aubers Ridge, Gleeson addressed the assembled battalion at a roadside shrine and gave the general absolution. The battalion suffered heavily in the battle and when paraded again afterwards only 200 men were assembled. The painting by Fortunino Matania was made at the request of the widow of the battalion's commanding officer. At the end of his year's service in 1915 Gleeson returned to Dublin and became a curate but rejoined the army as a Chaplain in 1917 and remained for a further two years. After the outbreak of the Civil War in Ireland, he became a chaplain with the Irish Free State army in February 1923. In August 1944, he became parish priest of St Catherine’s, Meath St, Dublin. He was made canon in May 1956 and died three years later. He is buried in Glasnevin Cemetery. Born in Naples, the son of artist Eduoardo Matania, Chevalier Fortunino Matania (16 April 1881 – 8 February 1963) studied at his father's studio, exhibiting his first work at Naples Academy at 11. By the age of 14 he was helping his father produce illustrations for books and magazines. His talent was recognised by the editor of the Italian periodical L'Illustrazione Italiania and Matania produced weekly illustrations for the magazine between 1895 and 1902. At the age of 20, Matania began working in Paris for Illustration Francaise and, in 1902, was invited to London to cover the Coronation of Edward VII for The Graphic. Matania would subsequently cover every major event – marriage, christening, funeral and Coronation – of British royalty up to the coronation of Queen Elizabeth in 1953. In 1904, Matania joined the staff of The Sphere where some of his most famous work was to appear, including his illustrations of the sinking of the Titanic in 1912. At the outbreak of the First World War, Matania became a war artist and was acclaimed for his graphic and realistic images of trench warfare.

DOUGLAS ALFRED: (1870-1945) English Author & Poet, the intimate friend and lover of Oscar Wilde. A.L.S., Alfred Douglas, two pages, 4to, St. Ann's Court, Hove, 16th October 1941, to Mr. Brooks. Douglas informs his correspondent 'You may perhaps be interested to see the enclosed copy of a letter [no longer present] which I have just posted to the unspeakable Josiah Wedgwood. I also enclose the cutting from the Weekly Review to which I refer in my letter to the aforesaid JW.' Continuing 'Of course if you can print my letter to Josiah in Truth I shall be delighted.' Concluding with the post script 'I hope you won't take it amiss that I have sent back that cheque for a guinea. I don't feel that I can accept it, and I would much rather make Truth a present of my sonnet. When I was running the Academy, after it became my own property, more than half the stuff I printed was gratuitous, and I frankly explained that I could not afford to pay contributors adequately if at all.' Accompanied by the extract from the Weekly Review. With minor age related wear, a light rust imprint of former paperclip only slightly affecting one word of the text. VG Collin Brooks (1893-1959) British Journalist, Writer, and Broadcaster. Truth was a British periodical publication first published in 1877. A major controversy on Truth and its political agenda came during World War II, when false allegations were made implying that it was sympathetic to Nazi Germany. Josiah Wedgwood, a Labour MP, spoke in Parliament in October 1941 accusing Truth of being fascist and "a Quisling paper", and called for publication to be halted. The Academy was a review of literature and general topics published in London from 1869 to 1920 (in various guises). In 1920 James Conchie bought the title for Lord Alfred Douglas who incorporated it within his magazine Plain English.

Douglas informs his correspondent 'I was very much surprised to get a letter from a friend of mine Adrian Earle enclosing one from you in which you informed him that you had closed down the correspondence in Truth about modern poetry.' Continuing '… you might have admitted to your columns some reply to the quite gratuitous attack on me made by a gentleman of the name of Comfort who quoted another quite unknown 'fact' as being my superior in the knowledge of to him technical poetical technique.' Concluding 'If I did not know that [you] are not ill-disposed to me a & my poetry I could scarcely avoid the reflection that such a course of action was deliberately malicious.'
