SCHOENBERG ARNOLD: (1874-1951) Austrian-American Composer. Good T.L.S., Arnold Schoenberg, one page, 4to, Los Angeles, California, 27th July 1949, to Bernard Herrmann. The composer states that he would like to receive the record that Herrmann had offered to him and continues `The disturbances, when I heard it over the radio, were very nasty and there came so many ugly noises out of the radio that one could not hear the basses for much of the time. I mean, it was really to the greater part very annoying, especially the second movement. So, if you think your record is better, I would really be grateful if you would send it to me.` A letter of good association. VG. Bernard Herrmann (1911-1975) American Composer of film scores, Academy Award winner. The composer had broadcast a radio concert entitled Welles Raises Kane on 3rd July 1949.

* Gifford (Denis, 1927-2000). A collection of original artwork from Dulwich College, approx. thirty pen & ink cartoons and caricatures, on paper, eighteen signed or initialled by Gifford, 440 x 280 mm (17.5 x 11 ins) and smaller, plus five miniature hand-drawn and painted comics, two with Gifford's name and one by Bob Monkhouse, each 4pp., 100 x 74 mm (4 x 3 ins). British writer and artist Denis Gifford had a lengthy career, in which, among other things, he wrote and drew for British comics, wrote more than fifty books on various topics, and devised, compiled and contributed to popular programmes for radio and television. As a 14-year-old at Dulwich College, Gifford began drawing for Dandy, after sending a comic strip to its publisher. His efforts caught the imagination of Bob Monkhouse, in the school year below, and they became friends and collaborators. They toured in the South East, giving charity performances with Monkhouse as the straight man. After RAF service during WWII, Gifford drew cartoons for the London Evening News, Empire State News and Sunday Dispatch. His own collection of more than 20,000 comics and other books and ephemera dominated his home and his life. His rooms were lined with bookshelves, and piled high with boxes of ephemera. The vast collection was broken up and sold off after his death, having been rescued from the black bags of a house clearance company. (approx. 34)
* Uptton (Clive, 1911-2006). A set of original illustrations for a Lilliputian tale, pub. Princess magazine, 1964, together fifteen grisaille watercolour illustrations, on artist's board, most signed, image size approx. 250 x 420 mm (10 x 16.5 ins) and sl. smaller. Clive Uptton was a prolific cartoonist, poster artist, illustrator and painter. He studied at Southend Art School and then at the Central School of Art in London, but turned professional before completing his studies. Some of his earliest paid work was as an illustrator for the Strand Magazine, and he also contributed regularly to Good Housekeeping, Woman's Illustrated (including stories by Barbara Cartland), Tit-Bits, Tatler, Radio Times, Look & Learn, Sphere (including covers), John Bull (including covers) and others. In 1940 he became political cartoonist on the Daily Sketch and Sunday Graphic, and later worked for the Ministry of Information and National Savings Committee producing propaganda cartoons, drawings and paintings. Perhaps Uptton's best- known wartime work was his large and prophetic D-Day landings drawing, 'This is the Year' and 'We Kneel Only to Thee', both of which were widely reproduced as posters. Uptton later won prizes for his posters in the National Outdoor Advertising Awards in 1958 and 1959. He continued to work as a landscape and portrait painter (commissions included portraits of Harold Macmillan and Anthony Eden) and as a book illustrator (notably for Warner Press) until 1987, when his eyesight began to fail.
