LENNON JOHN: (1940-1980) English Musician, a member of The Beatles. A good, unusual signed and inscribed colour candid 3.5 x 4 polaroid photograph of Lennon, the image depicting him seated in a half length pose, wearing his trademark circular spectacles, alongside the disc jockey Alan Smith (also known as ‘Brother Love’) in the WFIL radio studio in Philadelphia in October 1975 during a weekend fundraising broadcast for the Philadelphia Association of Retarded Children. Signed by Lennon in blue ink to the upper white border, ‘To da Brother, love, John Lennon’ and dated 1975 in his hand, further adding his familiar doodle of a face in his hand to a clear area of the image. A rare signed photograph. Some very light, extremely minor age wear to the image which detracts little from the appeal of the photograph. VG Provenance: Accompanied by a lengthy and detailed typed statement of provenance signed by Alan Smith and dated 6th October 2017, recounting the circumstances under which the present photograph was taken and signed, in part, ‘In 1975, Jay Cook, the Program Director…..somehow, in conjunction with Capitol Records, convinced John Lennon to join us to ‘kick off’ the event [the WFIL/PARC fundraising marathon of non-stop music] on Friday afternoon…..John arrived early, hung around talking with all of us getting to know our names, sensing our personalities, deciding who was funny and who wasn’t…..Over the next day and a half I spent an inordinate (amount) of time (as did my wife at the time) with him around the studio….He was open and charming, extremely bright…..My wife took the picture in the radio studio while we were on the air and when we were looking at it, he took it from my hand and signed it and drew the little face on it….John left early Sunday morning to return home to go into virtual seclusion from the public eye until 1980….’
ELIOT T. S.: (1888-1965) American-born English Poet & Dramatist, Nobel Prize winner for Literature, 1948. T.L.S., T. S. Eliot, one page, 8vo, Russell Square, London, 28th May 1957, to Neville Braybrooke, on the printed stationery of Faber and Faber Limited. Eliot thanks his correspondent for their letter and states that he has discussed his proposal with another director, Mr. P. F. du Sautoy, and writes to confirm 'that there appears to be no objection whatsoever on our part to your adapting Nightwood for radio', further adding 'If you show your script to Miss Barnes and get her approval of it, we have no objection at all'. Some minor remnants of former mounting to the upper half of the verso. Together with Valerie Eliot (1926-2012) Second wife (and later widow) of T. S. Eliot, his most important editor and literary executor following his death. T.L.S., Valerie Eliot, one page, 4to, Russell Square, London, 24th May 1966, to Neville Braybrooke, on the printed stationery of Faber and Faber Limited. Eliot thanks her correspondent for his letter and states 'I am afraid that it never occurred to me to ask my husband what “S.A.” stands for, but a good guess might be “Smith Academy”, the day school in St. Louis - now defunct - which he attended and remembered with such pleasure', further adding 'Of course he was too young to be a pupil when he edited “The Fireside”, but several relatives and his brother Henry were former pupils and he knew that he would be going there in due course'. Eliot continues her letter by remarking 'Faber & Faber have advised me to protest at your quoting from “Poems Written in Early Youth” in your article in the “Sewanee Review”' and explains 'My husband did not wish these poems quoted at any length and we are surprised that you did not ask permission in the usual way. Although the poems have not yet been published by this firm it would have been courteous to approach me, as I control the copyright'.

Together with a T.L.S., John Betjeman, one page, 8vo, Cloth Fair, London, 8th December 1965, to Neville Braybrooke. Betjeman states that it was nice to hear from his correspondent again after so many years, although remarks 'I ought to tell you that I really hate reviewing and anyhow couldn't possibly get anything in by December' further explaining 'I am having to do a lot of work for steam radio in our cathedrals, and it gives me no time to think of anything else'. A light band of age toning to the upper edge, not affecting the text or signature. FR to about VG, 2 Neville Braybrooke (1923-2001) English Poet, Writer, Editor, Literary Critic and Publisher.
