Pink Floyd - The Wall - Two Movie Promotional Books. The two spiral bound books of largely unseen design art for the aborted, original concept for the film were produced in limited numbers as a selling tool to potential investors, and few are believed to still exist. The two books follow a similar format with subtle differences. The books are a visual aid to understanding both how the film will be made and how it will look when finished. Printed in full colour on 16 x 12 inches card stock and spiral bound. A rare and intriguing snapshot of a work (then) in progress.Background - The 1982 film version of Pink Floyd's seminal concept album was fraught with difficulties during it's production. The film's original format was to be comprised of footage of the band playing live at Earls Court in London, with animation by political cartoonist and illustrator Gerald Scarfe spread throughout the film. Director Alan Parker found the concert footage to be unusable, and Floyd bassist/songwriter/screenwriter Roger Waters -- who had envisioned himself as the star of the show -- wasn't suitable as an actor. Replacing him with Boomtown Rats front man Bob Geldof, Parker was able to attract the attention of MGM and ultimately complete the film. (Parker and Waters butted heads the whole time, the former calling it the most expensive student film ever made and the latter ultimately disowning it.)Provenance: This lot has been consigned by Oxfam and all proceeds go to the charity. .

HAHN OTTO: (1879-1968) German Chemist, Nobel Prize winner for Chemistry, 1944. Hahn is considered the father of nuclear chemistry. A lengthy A.L.S., Otto, six pages, 8vo, n.p., 1st January 1918, to 'Mein Liebling' (his wife, Edith Junghans), in German. Hahn writes an informative social letter to his wife following Christmas and New Year's Eve and states, in part, 'Unlike last year, I did not write two letters to you yesterday. But at least we were able to talk briefly. Actually, I was about to give up, because I had tried to ring Julius' apartment twice before, but nobody picked up…..I would have loved to talk with you a little longer, but we were playing Skat in the next room, and that is important. Also, the colonel wanted to talk to you and wish you a Happy New Year, but you were already gone again and Julius was on the line…..Our celebration last night was very cozy. I had a crazy amount of work during the day…..So we had the usual meal last night, nothing fancy, with the exception of a kind of chocolate dessert with real whipped cream (we do have a cow in the stable!). For drinks with dinner and after, we had planned for the three of us (colonel, medical director, and myself) two bottles of burgundy mixed with one bottle of champagne. There was supposed to follow a punch at midnight……But we never got around to the punch because we prolonged our “Turks Blood” so that in the end, between 8pm and 3am we had consumed 3 bottles of champagne, 2 bottles of burgundy, ½ bottle of red wine, totalling about 2 bottles of alcohol each. Quite a lot, but spread over seven hours, it was tolerable. At the same time, with only short interruptions around midnight, we played wonderful Skat…..At 12, we lit the tree and interrupted the Skat…..I did not give away the rest of my cookies; I still had 1 box of berry cookies which we had after midnight…..I (and others) also enjoy the English mustard which arrived yesterday. O for it!......Judging from your mother's letters, they don't appear to be starving in Plotnick, notwithstanding the milk soup every night. Even the hunt dinner seems to be well put together…..These days, I haven't had much time for my own reading. I am still reading about the very exciting theatre director, even though I find many characters in it very idealised. Do you recall that I wrote a card to Bergrat Knochenbauer…..I had had goose at his place exactly one year ago, and in my note I asked him about his son who was on the front. Today, by way of an answer, I got an obituary. His son, 21, died of his injuries…..Isn't that sad? Yesterday…..I sent you 100 marks. That includes your gift from Santa. Also, do not forget to buy yourself, not from this money, the taffeta before it gets more expensive……' VG Otto Hahn married Edith Junghans (1887-1968), a student at the Royal School of Art in Berlin, on 22nd March 1913. In 1914, at the beginning of World War I, Hahn was recalled to the army in a Landwehr regiment and the following year was transferred to Berlin as a human Guinea-pig testing poisonous gases and gas masks. Hahn was also sent on frequent missions to the front to find suitable locations for gas attacks and, at the end of the war, was involved in a secret mission to test a pot that heated and released a cloud of arsenicals.

Hepburn writes, in part, 'What a present for a spinster - It is perfect & looks very well on me especially over my pants at night when I usually spill all my supper….You were sweet to think of me & cater to my love of just that kind of material. Do write me about “Grapes”….' (n.d., c.1940), 'Why on earth didn't you come back - I always love to see you - but in a way I don't blame you for it always seems a bit unsatisfactory….I have your letter of praise to read often if I get low - I'm so glad that you really enjoyed it & me - it is awful for me to say but I just adore the production. It's like playing in a fairy tale - which as one reads the news - seems a better & better idea' (n.d.) 'Well this is a really thrilling experience - utterly fascinating to act in - just no end to what one can rise to….and scene after scene - after scene - Ralph Richardson, Jason Robards, Dean Stockwell…..S[pencer] T[racy] is still in Cal. as he thought it would be better for me to be alone - call him up - He is very lonely…..It's very sad about our friend - I'm sure it's the agony over the boy & just plain fatigue…..' (n.d., c.1962). Some light overall age wear, generally VG, 3 Meta Stern (1899-1975) American Researcher & Script Supervisor who worked on various films, mainly during the 1940s and 1950s, including Mary of Scotland (1936) directed by John Ford and with Katharine Hepburn playing the role of Mary Stuart. The present letters were written at various times in the careers of both ladies, Stern evidently working on the filming of The Grapes of Wrath (1940) and Hepburn whilst starring in Long Day's Journey Into Night (1962) alongside Ralph Richardson and Jason Robards.
