[EROTICA]: BAYROS FRANZ VON (1866-1924) Austrian Illustrator & Artist, remembered for his erotic themes and controversial Tales at the Dressing Table portfolio. An interesting L.S., von Bayros, two pages, large 4to, Vienna, 23rd November 1919, to a gentleman in America. Bayros informs his admirer that he is busy preparing new pictures for an exhibition in Berlin and also has 'a big order for an edition de Luxe of Dante's Divine Comedy, the illustrations of which is a particular pleasure to me', further adding that he receives no royalties from the sale of books and discussing the prices of his original works, 'My only fear is that my prices will strike you all as beeing (sic) very high but you have no idea how absolutely frightful it is to live in Vienna now and how really miserably we exist at present upon an income which would have made me a “bien situe” man before the war'. Bayros continues 'I am very anxious to know how you like my folio with 50 new pictures. The author R. H. Bartsch (author of the most charming Rokoko stories I know) has written a very good preface to it, and perhaps it will interest you also to learn something about Bayros as a man', further referring to other books and illustrations which have appeared in magazines and 'that I have designed 10 costumes for an excellent young Viennese dancer, Miss Gertrud Bodenwieser'. The illustrator also discusses one of his contemporaries, 'I was very interested in what you wrote about Raphael Kirchner. It is a great pity about him, he [was] exceedingly talented. I do not think he was destined to live a long life. I heard that he is said to have been a morphinist. I certainly know that his wife is a victim to this terrible habit'. A letter of interesting content not only for its references to Bayros's work, but also several of his artistic Austrian contemporaries. VG Rudolf Hans Bartsch (1873-1952) Austrian Military officer and Writer, nominated on six occasions for the Nobel Prize in Literature. Gertrud Bodenwieser (1890-1959) Austrian Dancer & Choreographer, a pioneer of expressive dance. Raphael Kirchner (1876-1917) Austrian Artist & Illustrator, remembered for his Art Nouveau and pin-up works, particularly in picture postcard format.
FLAUBERT GUSTAVE: (1821-1880) French Novelist of Madame Bovary (1857), the leading exponent of literary realism in France. A fine A.L.S., Gu. Flaubert, two pages, 8vo, n.p., n.d. ('Mardi'; early 1870s), to a friend ('Mon cher ami'), in French. Flaubert announces 'Le Sexe Faible must have been taken to the censors today' and continues 'Weinschenk worries about the minister, but if you delete the word minister, the role no longer exists and the piece becomes incomprehensible. The general can be a Swiss general (Swiss - oh, very well) but minister can not be modified….you have to take it or leave it. Write your father what you think is appropriate. You know the question as well as I do. Your interest is at stake more than mine. If your father and Beauplan support us (and they can support us, since the censors depend only on them and on any one thing that they say about it) we are saved. If they don't, then not. In a last ditch effort I am writing one more time to d'Osmoy! And I will notify R. Duval to speak to his cousin Chabaud-Latour. More I cannot do. I know perfectly well that Weinschenk counts on a big financial success. Le Sexe Faible is his last challenge, and he will do anything I want. But still, if the minister is left out, good night! I am not trying to conceal that I am full of bitterness and that I am getting to the point where I have had enough, or even too much! It would probably not be bad if you made the trip to Paris. Sunday. It's worth it. As for the rest, it's up to you. I suspect your father will not answer you, an easy way to avoid difficult steps, and that Le Sexe Faible will be stopped by the censorship, but they will regret it.' A letter of excellent literary content, not least for its references to censorship which Flaubert had experienced previously when his debut novel and masterpiece Madame Bovary had resulted in a scandal when it was first serialized in 1856-57 with public prosecutors declaring it to have obscene content. Some very light, extremely minor age wear and a few small tears very neatly and professionally repaired. About VG Le Sexe Faible ('The Weaker Sex') was a light comedy originally written by the French poet and dramatist Louis Bouilhet (1822-1869) who was a close friend and mentor to Flaubert. Following Bouilhet's death Flaubert discovered Le Sexe Faible amongst his friend's papers, although it is open to debate whether the piece was a scenario or full text when discovered. Flaubert completed the play, with a sexist and politically incorrect theme, in honour of his late friend and it was scheduled to be produced in early 1873. However, the impresario Leon Carvalho favoured Flaubert's Le Candidat and that was instead chosen, although only survived for four performances before Flaubert himself withdrew it. Le Sexe Faible was again scheduled for production at the Theatre de Cluny in 1874, however shortly before the premiere Flaubert cancelled the production believing it to be unworthy of the play.

Groves Jr. Chadwick informs Groves on Mrs Gowing visit, stating in part `We had a visit from Mrs Gowing a few days ago. She came to collect a draft of her account of the first few years after the war - an enormous volume of material…It depressed me to read about it. Mrs Gowing hopes to have a draft of her second volume completed by Easter. This will then have to be submitted to some high authorities who may, and probably will, demand that some references to political discussions should be cut out…Provided that she has sufficient time and energy to digest all the material she has collected, I believe that the second volume will be quite interesting.´ Chadwick further refers to a Canadian nuclear work, saying `I read about half of “Canada´s Nuclear Story” and then gave up. I found two quotations from notes by John Cockcroft, one is quite untrue, the second gives a false implication. And now recently, in reading Mrs. Gowing´s draft…I found references to at least two complaints of the Canadian team about which I never heard. If these complaints were valid they should have been made to me and to you.´ And referring to the Canadian nuclear team, Chadwick concludes `They do not seem to have realized how fortunate they were.´ Folded, with very small, minor creasing, otherwise VG Leslie Groves (1896-1970) United States Army Corps of Engineers Lieutenant General.

The red printed text appears in Chinese characters. Some very light, extremely minor staining and age wear to the recto and verso, none of which significantly affects the signature. About VGFollowing the end of World War II, the Communist movement was flourishing in Latin America and in 1947 Mao Zedong was prompted to remark that 'the Latin American peoples are not the obedient slaves of United States Imperialism'. Chairman Mao and the Chinese communists' goal was the defeat of United States Imperialism and Latin America was regarded as vital to attaining this goal as, because of its geographical location, it supported Mao Zedong's theory of the establishment of rural revolutionary base areas. Chinese interest and activities in Latin America increased sharply in the early 1950s (there were believed to be 250,000 card carrying communists active in the area) and the countries were of considerable interest to the Chinese and viewed as a fertile filed for advancing Communism, not least Red China's own brand of the ideology.The China-Latin America Friendship Association was established in Peking (Beijing) in March 1960 and became the general fortress of cultural infiltration into Latin America.The American diplomat Roy R. Rubottom Jr., who served as Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs (1957-60), noted that, in 1960, Mao Zedong appeared to have 'gone out of his way' to receive Latin American Communist leaders and to exhort them to give their full backing to the kind of revolution he favoured. The present signature, also dating from 1960, was undoubtedly obtained during the Buffet Party which Mao Zedong attended in honour of Latin American communists. ONE OF THE RAREST & MOST SOUGHT AFTER SIGNATURES OF ANY MAJOR POLITICAL LEADER OR CULTURAL ICON OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURYOur research of auction records, including those of American Book Prices Current, show that only ten examples of Mao Zedong's autograph have been sold at auction in the last quarter of a century (one of which was the present example, last sold at auction in America in 2005). Most recently an autograph letter signed was sold by Sotheby's in London on 11th June 2019 for £519,000.
