Geraldine Jerry Mock aviation pioneer typed signed letter on Spirit of Columbus letterhead dated 1976 with good content regarding his record breaking flights. Fixed to A4 card. Geraldine Jerrie Fredritz Mock (November 22, 1925 - September 30, 2014) was the first woman to fly solo around the world, which she did in 1964. She flew a single engine Cessna 180 (registered N1538C) christened the Spirit of Columbus and nicknamed Charlie. The trip began March 19, 1964, in Columbus, Ohio, and ended April 17, 1964, in Columbus, Ohio, and took 29 days, 21 stopovers and almost 22, 860 miles (36, 790 km). An almost forgotten part of this flight is the race that developed between Jerrie Mock and Joan Merriam Smith who had flown from a field near San Francisco CA on March 17, 1964. Joan's departure date and flight path was the same as the aviator Amelia Earhart's last flight and though not in direct competition with each other, media coverage soon began tracking the progress of each pilot fascinated with who would complete the journey first. The story of this race is told in a book written by Taylor Phillips entitled, Racing to Greet the Sun, Jerrie Mock and Joan Merriam Smith Duel to Become the First Woman to Solo Around the World. Jerrie Mock was subsequently awarded the Louis Bleriot medal from the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale in 1965. In 1970 she published the story of her round-the-world flight in the book Three-Eight Charlie. While that book is now out of print, a 50th anniversary edition was later published including maps, weather charts and photos. Three-Eight Charlie is a reference to the call sign, N1538C, of the Cessna 180 Skywagon Mock used to fly around the world. Before her death, Mock, mother of three children, resided in Quincy, Florida; northwest of the state capital, Tallahassee. Good Condition. All signed pieces come with a Certificate of Authenticity.

The first edition in English of Weidenfeld's De Secretis Adeptorum , first published the previous year, also in London by H. Hills. The book is dedicated to Robert Boyle, whose Natural Philosophy, Weidenfeld read, leading him to 'take a journey into England, for your sake alone, that I might confer with you about the Menstruums as well as Medicines and other Secrets of Paracelsus'.

Edith Lawrence (1890-1973) ''Houses on a Hillside'' Linocut, 30cm by 25cm (unframed) Provenance: From the Estate of Edith Lawrence See illustration Born in Surrey in 1890, Edith Lawrence was a painter, designer, printmaker and teacher. She attended the Slade School of Art from 1910- 14, where she was a prizewinning student. She went on to spend a period of time in St. Ives and returned to the Slade in 1916 where she studied under the Canadian born artist Percyval Tudor Hart and also began exhibiting at the Royal Academy and New English Art Club. In 1917 she took up a teaching position at Runston Hill School and in 1920 she met Claude Flight, the founder of the Grosvenor School of Modern Art. Inspired by Futurism and the spirit of Art Deco, Claude Flight developed the use of linocut printing to celebrate the rapidity of the modern world. In 1925 he wrote; ''Time seems to pass so quickly nowadays. Everybody is in a hurry… this speeding up is one of the psychologically important features of today. Traffic problems, transport problems, everybody is on the rush either for work or pleasure; business is hustle, the Cinema all movement.'' The Grosvenor School artists such as Edith Lawrence, Cyril Power, Sybil Andrews, Lill Tsudi and Dorrit Black responded with stylish depictions of modern life, created in striking clean-cut blocks of colour. Immortalising the rapidly changing world of the 1920s and 1930s, they captured the sprit of the time celebrating transport, sporting and leisure subjects, such as ''Cricket'' by Edith Lawrence, lot 32 and ''The Quartette'' by Dorrit Black, lot 33. In 1925 Edith moved into Claude Flight's studio and the two shared an exhibition of textiles and linocuts at the Redfern Gallery in 1926. In 1927 they set up an interior decorating business trying out different methods of linocut, wallpaper, wall hangings and textiles. Throughout their time the two created many linocuts together. Edith spent many summers with Claude at his Neolithic chalk cave in the banks of the Seine at Chantemesle that he purchased for 300 francs after his time in France during WWI. Here he taught the art of the linocut at informal summer schools and it is thought that students sent examples of their work to them for appraisal. During WWII Claude and Edith lived in London working from their studio off Baker Street. Later fleeing from the blitz they, moved to a cottage in Donhead St Andrew, Wiltshire which proved to be a sensible move given that shortly after their studio was bombed destroying all of Claude's lino printing blocks. Flight suffered from a stroke in 1947 and had to stop working, Edith nursed him until his death in 1955. She spent much of her later life at Worth Matravers, the surrounding area becoming a source of inspiration for her. In 1973, the year of her death Edith held a solo exhibition at the University of Hull which was later followed by a memorial exhibition in the same year at the Parkin Gallery dedicated to both Edith and Claude. Her nephew has fondly said that she was a loveable nuisance disinherited by the family for running away to live with a married man (Claude Flight) in a cave on the Seine. He recollects her making and rolling her own tobacco, that she was ''wonderfully stubborn, pragmatic and welcoming with a warm heart''. Very slight time staining to paper. Creasing to top right hand corner and to lower right hand side edge. One medium to large sized spot of foxing evident below the house within the white area to the lower left hand side. Good colour depth.

TRUMAN HARRY S.: (1884-1972) American President 1945-53. A good D.S., Harry S Truman, as President, one page, large folio, Washington D.C., 8th May 1945. The attractively blue, red, gold and black printed calligraphic document is a proclamation made by Truman and states, in part, ‘The Allied Armies, through sacrifice and devotion and with God’s help, have wrung from Germany a final and unconditional surrender. The western world has been freed of the evil forces which for five years and longer have imprisoned the bodies and broken the lives of millions upon millions of free-born men. They have violated their churches, destroyed their homes, corrupted their children, and murdered their loved ones. Our Armies of Liberation have restored freedom to these suffering peoples, whose spirit and will the oppressors could never enslave. Much remains to be done. The victory won in the West must now be won in the East. The whole world must be cleansed of the evil from which half the world has been freed. United, the peace-loving nations have demonstrated in the West that their arms are stronger by far than the might of the dictators or the tyranny of military cliques that once called us soft and weak. The power of our peoples to defend themselves against all enemies will be proved in the Pacific war as it has been proved in Europe…..Now, therefore, I, Harry S. Truman, President of the United States of America, do hereby appoint Sunday, May 13, 1945, to be a day of prayer. I call upon the people of the United States, whatever their faith, to unite in offering joyful thanks to God for the victory we have won and to pray that He will support us to the end of our present struggle and guide us into ways of peace……’ Signed by Truman in fountain pen ink at the foot. Mounted to card and with some light age toning, a couple of tears, and some scattered staining to the edges, largely caused by previous framing and not significantly affecting the text or signature, G The present proclamation was signed by Truman on the same day as the definitive text of the German Instrument of Surrender was signed, thereby signifying the end of World War II in Europe. Truman, who had only assumed the office of President less than a month earlier following the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt, also celebrated his 61st birthday on 8th May 1945 and held a press conference in the Oval office where he delivered the text of the present proclamation to his cabinet and other dignitaries.
