Bradley Martin copy, with his bookplate and original receipt from 1978; bound in half brown calf and green buckram boards, 10 3/4 x 7 1/4 in. With this text, More refutes the work of Simon Fish, a 16th-century Protestant reformer and English propagandist, who published Supplication for the Beggars in 1529, railing against the Catholic clergy. It was enough to get him condemned as a heretic by the church. He was meant to stand trial, but was claimed first by the Bubonic plague.

and inscribed with the title pen and ink on paper Wright, J and Kerbel, C,. Fred Page: ringmaster of the imagination, Jeanne Wright and Cecil Kerbel, South Africa, 2011, p 91 25,5 by 18,5cm The work of Fred Page is probably best identified by its limited pallet and eerie subject matter. The dark emotive quality of his oeuvre is most likely the result of his upbringing – after losing his mother at the age of 10, he was exchanged from one relative to another before landing up in an orphanage. Page first moved to Port Elizabeth, the city with which his art has become synonymous, in 1937 to work in a tyre factory, having previously traipsed from one job to another after a short stint in the military. During World War II, Page returned to the military serving in the Signal Corps. It was only in 1945 after the war had ended that Page decided to become an artist. His initial training was by correspondence. Upon reception of a grant awarded to him as an ex-serviceman, Page went on to study at the Port Elizabeth School of Arts and Crafts from 1945 – 1947, where he was guided by the watchful eye of Jack Heath – a product of the post-war Royal Academy of Art. Page created surreal imagery, portraying the real world and the unexpressed world generated by human behaviour. Page shares many formal and conceptual qualities with the Surrealist movement. He often incorporated De Cherico’s use of monumental architecture as a means of creating a dislocation of the real, depicting elusive psychic experiences, possibly also influenced by his love for science fiction literature. His compositions are constructed like theatrical sets, as is evident in Shopfront where the white architecture and black, faceless windows, so typical of Page’s work, are found in the centre of the composition, and are framed on either side by classical columns. A set of three steps revealing Page’s incorporation of deep perspective, lead up to the set of doors separating two shop windows, revealing a dismembered mannequin in each window. Page recorded architectural features in great detail, as in the dark, cast iron railing of the fence in the foreground of The Presence. A statue of an angel carrying a trumpet is situated in what appears to be a city park, but the strange presence of an elephant and the phallic statue that flank her, suggest otherwise. The winged angel is an example of the macabre that Page often represented, having enjoyed visiting graveyards. Death remained a consistent theme that pervaded his work. Although Page himself denied the meaning of his own work, the pieces he created present a situation, evoking emotional tension rather than simply conveying a narrative. Proud, H., Revisions: Expanding the Narrative of South African Art, SA History Online and UNISA Press, Cape Town, 2006.

*Anand (Mulk Raj). Collection of letters to social historian Ernest Martin (1912-2005), London and Bombay, 1937-99, 6 autograph and 7 typed letters signed, some folded, mild fraying, creasing or staining, typed letters with Anand's autograph corrections, various formats Remarkable collection of letters from Mulk Raj Anand (1905-2004), one of the first Indian novelists to write in English, to Devon-based scholar and oral history pioneer Ernest W. Martin (1912-2005), a figure described by E. P. Thompson as 'not just a social historian but a prophet'. In the earliest dated letter, written during his time in London in 1937 and commencing 'Dear Comrade', Anand includes a three-page autobiographical sketch for inclusion in Martin's In Search of Faith, a popular collection of essays published in 1944, and discusses the progress of his latest novel, evidently The Village (1939). In the later letters, written from Bombay between 1978 and 1996, Anand keeps Martin informed about his literary output and expounds on political subjects, variously predicting that 'there can be no going back to narrow nationalism, but towards a universal one-world culture with Destination Man as the goal of advance' (1978), proposing to write a piece about his 'emergence from Indian existentialism or fatalism into the European kind of torment affected by Eliot, Kirkegarde [sic], Pascal and others' (1979), and railing against American arms sales to Pakistan and accusations of being a communist propagandist (1995).
