Ward, Leslie (spy)
        William Gilbert Grace
      Chromolithography, 265x395mm, original proof impression. Like new, a small tear of 2 cm in the lower margin. ?The second versions of the Vanity Fair caricatures are the proof prints or proofs before lettering. [First versions are the original watercolors; third versions are the widely available weekly/album prints.]   Produced to verify the colours and lines of the lithograph, no more than twenty copies were printed. Not true many more than that. These prints have no captions or dates, or other descriptive type, and the magazine bound them in numbered albums, in green leather with gilt tooling.  They were offered for sale, and also awarded as prizes in the magazine?s acrostic contests.  At the front of each volume is a printed note from Vanity Fair giving the number of the proof volume and the numbered volume in the series. However these volumes were "broken" to sell individually and one never sees the complete volume. The quality of the colours in the proof prints, their clarity of line and detail and their scarcity make them of considerable interest to the collector.? Roy T. Matthews and Peter Mellini, In ?Vanity Fair?, (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1982), 203.

Highsmith, Patricia
        An Archive of an interview with Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, and related letters
      1982. An archive of two typed letters signed and one typed interview response from Patricia Highsmith to Eleanor Sullivan at Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine. The interview response, a ribbon copy dated dated November 20, 1981, is quite lengthy, with fabulous content. The normally reclusive author addresses in some detail a wide array of topics, including her literary influences, Edgar Allan Poe, comparisons of Dreiser's "An American Tragedy" to "Strangers on a Train," her preference of ironing or woodwork to visiting Paris or New York and associated social engagements, her snail collection, Tom Ripley, the relative merits of short stories and novels, thoughts on "Purple Noon" (the 1962 French film adaptation of "The Talented Mr. Ripley"), favorite novels and short stories (her own and those of others), preferred climate and terrain for day-to-day living (with a comparative discussion of France and Mexico), the importance of understanding a character's emotions, coincidences and their function in "The Blunderer," sleep (naps and rising time in particular), painting and sketching, and a discussion of the influence of "Crime and Punishment" on the moral nature of her fiction. The interview was published in the August 1983 issue of the magazine. A typed letter signed from Highsmith, dated November 20, 1981, accompanies Ms. Highsmith's typed response, and is on her Moncourt, France personal stationery. The letter notes that Highsmith found the questionnaire to be complex, that she enjoyed an interview with Clark Howard sent by Ms. Sullivan, that the publication of her new novel, "The Black House," is imminent, and that apart from EQMM, the "short story market in the USA is really pretty limited." The follow-up letter, dated March 26, 1982, inquires as to whether the interview was printed, and briefly mentions a request to reprint "Slowly, Slowly, in the Wind," which originally appeared in EQMM, in a horror anthology. A fascinating archive offering rare insight into the thoughts of a unique American author, one whose reclusiveness are well known. In a custom clamshell box.

Elytis, Odysseus
        Autograph Letter Signed
      Athens: Odysseus Elytis, 1982. First edition. Not bound.. Very Good +. An Original Autograph Letter Signed from Odysseus Elytis to Mr. Antonopoulos of the winery Achaia Clauss. Written entirely in the Nobel Prize Winner's hand over both sides of a piece of his headed card stock (measuring 104 mm X 149 mm and dated 28th July 1982), the letter reads as follows: "My friend Mr. Antonopoulos, I have not forgotten my promise (my wish one would be more correct to say) to visit your facility in Patras. And I'll first tell you that for exceptional reasons I was obliged almost all spring to avoid all small movements. Now of course comes the time to leave for the summer holidays. But do not worry. I have all confidence when will be the right time to give a notice [of his planned trip to the winery]. Thank you again for your honest feelings. With friendly wishes Elytis." On the verso's lower left corner Elytis has written "Skoufa 23”, his address in Athens. The letter in Very Good + condition with staple holes and a bit of wrinkling to the lower left corner (not affecting text) and two neat holes (also not affecting the text), presumably made by a prior owner in order to place the letter into a ringed binder. Odysseus Elytis (the pen name of Odysseus Alepoudhiéis) published his first poem at the encouragement of, among others, his friend George Seferis, winner of the 1963 Nobel Prize in Literature, was soon thereafter himself praised as an important writer, and ultimately also won the Nobel Prize in Literature (1979) "for his poetry, which, against the background of Greek tradition, depicts with sensuous strength and intellectual clear-sightedness modern man's struggle for freedom and creativeness". A lover of excellent wines, Elytis was friendly with the Antonopoulos family, operators of the winery Achaia Clauss, one of Greece's most famous wineries. The letter clearly shows Elytis' intent to visit the great winery as many notable individuals had done before him. Signed letters from Odysseus Elytis, especially those written entirely in his own hand, are quite scarce indeed. A Very Good + Autograph Letter Signed by Nobel Prize Winner Odysseus Elytis. QUITE SCARCE.

Slipcase: scour marks and infrequent, scattered ink & soil spots. HIS GRAPHIC ART: After WWII Grass trained as a stonemason and studied sculpture at art school. While he came to be identified as a writer, Grass continued to devote much time to drawing and sculpture and began making etchings in 1972, lithographs in 1975. John Russell noted about his visual art (1983), "Grass' intentions are best served by the etching needle", for the rich opportunities it provides for exploring the synergies of black & white. Dreher states, "For Grass, black is the sum of all colors..." [foreword]. Grass found in his graphic art a means of drawing on his 'muses' that reciprocally fed and enriched his writing, what Drucker called a, "dual muse". Influenced by early German graphic art including Dürer, and Surrealist experiments with the unconscious mind, Grass' best work, represented here, is vital and affecting and carries us into the currents of the unconscious. Because of his eminence as a writer, Grass's visual art is often denigrated. Although his failure rate is high and the apex of his achievement doesn't compare to, say, Picasso, Grass at his best is a fascinating artist, pursuing fabulist themes and strategies identified with his writing, and an iconography that draws on his Baltic Sea upbringing in Danzig. Fairytale is one of his admired flounder works and Sign in the Sky fuses time and place in a manner characteristic of Grass' aesthetic. FORMAT: Publisher's woven silver cloth boards with black letters in the sewn binding with lavender gray front pocket with black letters mounted on the endpaper pastedown, etchings laid in with protective interleaves; b/w pictorial cream book-jacket with black letters on upper wrapper and spine, reproducing on upper jacket the 1972 pencil drawing, "Arrow-Swift Snail"; and plain card slipcase.

TACQUET, Andreas.
        Opera mathematica R. P. Andreae Tacquet demonstrata et propugnata a Simone Laurentio Veterani ex comitibus Montis Calvi, in collegio Societatis Iesv Lovanii anno M.DC. LXVIII. mense novemb.Antwerp: Jacob van Meurs, 1669.
      First edition of the collected works of Tacquet, including the first printings of his books on astronomy, optics and fortification, as well as his most important work <i>Cylindricorum et annularium libri quinque</i>. Stanitz 415; Macclesfiled 1982 [2 of 3 parts].<br/><br/> "Tacquet has written an impressive number of books, most of them teaching manuals for the different mathematical sciences to be used in Jesuit courses... Tacquet composed his manuals to comply with an express demand made by General Goswin Nickel. Upon receiving Tacquet's <i>Cylindricorum et annularium libri IV</i>, Nickel replied by urging the author to write a <i>cursus mathematicus</i>, properly adapted for use in the Jesuit colleges. Of the proposed <i>cursus mathematicus</i>, Tacquet published only two manuals during his lifetime, on geometry and arithmetic, but he was working on several others by the time of his death. His posthumous <i>Opera Mathematica</i> contains five of these treatises... (Vanpaemel, pp. 407-8). The perceived unsuitability of the <i>Cylindricorum at annularium</i> for the Jesuit Colleges may explain why it was not added to all copies of the <i>Opera</i> (it was not present in the Macclesfield copy, for example). <br/><br/> "The first and most important treatise, <i>Astronomia explicata ac demonstrate</i> (pp. 1-356), probably was in an advanced stage of composition, although Tacquet kept adding new material to it in 1659... Most authors have drawn attention to Tacquet's explicit use of 'saving of the appearances' in the <i>Astronomia</i> when discussing the Copernican system. Tacquet rejected the Copernican system for religious reasons, but he still expounded the different astronomical hypotheses with equal care... The astronomical hypotheses were not real, they were only meant to save the appearances. In particular, the function of an astronomical hypothesis was to make the motions of the celestial bodies accessible to mathematical treatment. He rejected the elliptical orbits of Kepler, as being too cumbersome and un-mathematical to work with" (<i>ibid</i>.). <br/><br/> Tacquet adopted a more realist position in his treatment of optics. "His optical hypotheses served not as statements about phenomena to be explained, but as axioms or principles... One of his hypotheses stated, for example, that light proceeds along straight lines. Other hypotheses, however, implied metaphysical views. Tacquet's very first hypothesis stated that all visible things emitted images which were captured by the eye, where they determined the visual perception... Tacquet maintained that [the law of reflection] could be conclusively demonstrated. In the first place, the law could be deduced from what looked like an even more fundamental axiom, viz. that "nature always acts along the shortest path"... Tacquet attempted to prove the law of reflection by physical arguments. In particular, he mentioned the proof by Descartes (the only reference to Descartes in the entire <i>Opera</i>), whom he criticized for not taking into account the loss of momentum which must occur in the reflected particles... For Tacquet, the law of reflection was a statement about the real world, where it was rigorously true" (ibid., pp 410-412). <br/><br/> "Tacquet's most important mathematical work, <i>Cylindricorum etannularium</i>, contained a number of original theorems on cylinders and rings. Its main importance, however, lay in its concern with questions of method. Tacquet rejected all notions that solids are composed of planes, planes of lines, and so on, except as heuristic devices for finding solutions. The approach he adopted was that of Luca Valerio and Gregorius, an essentially Archimedean method" (DSB). The work was first published in four books in 1651, and then in 1659 with the addition of a fifth book, <i>Dissertatio physico-mathematica de circulorum volutionibus</i>, which treated the paradox of 'Aristotle's wheel'. <br/><br/> Other works included in this volume include <i>Architecturæ militaris liber unus</i>, reflecting the Jesuit Colleges' concern with military technology, and <i>Geometriæ practicæ libri tres</i>, an elementary treatment of Euclid and Archimedes first published as <i>Elementa geometriae</i> in 1654 "which went through numerous editions during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and was edited and revised by Whiston, Musschenbroek, and Boskovic . Although little more than a paraphrase of parts of Euclid and Archimedes, the book was distinguished by its clarity and order" (DSB XIII: 235-6). <br/><br/> "Tacquet (1612-60) was the son of Pierre Tacquet, a merchant, and Agnes Wandelen of Nuremberg. His father apparently died while the boy was still young but left the family with some means. Tacquet received an excellent education in the Jesuit collège of his native town, and a contemporary report describes him as a gifted if somewhat delicate child. In 1629 he entered the Jesuit order as a novice and spent the first two years in Malines and the next four in Louvain, where he studied logic, physics, and mathematics. His mathematics teacher was William Boelmans, a student of and secretary to Gregorius Saint Vincent. After his preliminary training Tacquet taught in various Jesuit collèges for five years, notably Greek and poetry at Bruges from 1637 to 1639. From 1640 to 1644 he studied theology in Louvain and in 1644 - 1645 he taught mathematics there. He took his vows on 1 November 1646 and subsequently taught mathematics in the collèges of Louvain (1649 - 1655) and Antwerp (1645 - 1649, 1655 - 1660)" (<i>ibid</i>.).<br/><br/> Brunet, V, 641; De Backer & Sommervogel VII, 1810; Roller & Goodman II, 480; Houzeau & Lancaster 3406; Sotheran 4715.

Mixing historical figures with characters loosely based on actual people, Coppola and co-writers William Kennedy, and Mario Puzo (who Coppola worked with on "The Godfather" films) created a panorama of love, crime, and entertainment centered on the Club." & & Two scripts are in this archive.

        THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS AND WHAT ALICE FOUND THERE
      Northampton, Massachusetts: Pennyroyal Press, 1982. No. 96 OF 350 COPIES (300 for sale), SIGNED BY BARRY MOSER. Hardcover. 425 x 279 mm (16 3/4 x 11"). xxv, [i], 163, [7] pp. Preface and notes by James R. Kincaid. Text edited by Selwyn H. Goodacre. No. 96 OF 350 COPIES (300 for sale), SIGNED BY BARRY MOSER. Original maroon half morocco over brown paper printed in gray with a detail of Moser&#39;s portrait of Alice, flat spine with gilt titling interpersed with sections of the Queen&#39;s scepter; the volume, along with extra plates (in folders) contained in the original matching folding box of coarsely woven linen with a gilt-titled (faintly sunned and slightly spotted) morocco spine. The volume itself WITH 92 WOOD-ENGRAVED ILLUSTRATIONS as usual (the "95" mentioned on the title page is not correct), AND WITH AN ADDITIONAL SUITE OF PLATES, EACH SIGNED BY THE ARTIST. Printed in red and black. Prospectus laid in at front. The volume in virtually mint condition. At least as much as the Pennyroyal "Alice," this is one of the most memorable of American illustrated books produced during the past 50 years. From the beginning, it attracted considerable attention, and some controversy, at least in the eyes of the artist, who seemed to prefer it to its sister publication (it has consistently been considered more valuable). Moser (in the Pennyroyal Checklist 27) says, "There is a greater cohesion in Looking-Glass than in Alice. I have never been able to understand why the critics called the pictures &#39;dark.&#39; I intended them to be whimsical and humorous, displaying a kind of calculated pandemonium." The text here includes a suppressed episode, "The Wasp in a Wig," which Carroll removed from the proofs.

        Balenciaga 1982".
      1982 - Dessin aux feutres de couleurs, signé en bas à droite, 1982, 42 x 30 cm, encadré. Modèle emblématique de la maison BALENCIAGA, qui réactualise les sources hispanisantes : ici, la longue jupe à volants du flamenco est raccourcie, et le costume agrémenté d'accessoires. Michel GOMA (né à Moncrabeau en 1932) est un des couturiers français des plus cosmopolites. Artiste formé chez Jeanne LAFAURIE en 1951, il ouvre sa première maison à Paris (1958-1963), puis travaille pour Jean PATOU (1963-1974). Passionné d'opéra, il sera le mentor des talents les plus prometteurs, comme Jean Paul GAUTIER. Il lance sa maison de couture en 1975. Aux côtés des influences espagnoles de BALENCIAGA, il travaille au Japon depuis les années 1970. Eclectique, mais exigent, il prête ses talents à de nombreuses marques et supports : les voitures NISSAN, CRAVEN, Delphine SEYRIG et Farah DIBA, les pièces d'Harold PINTER. Il travaille la matière de façon ample et ronde : on trouve dans ses modèles volants bouffants et corsets. Après la mort de BALENCIAGA en 1972, la maison c'est Michel GOMA qui est choisi comme directeur artistique de la marque. Il saura rester fidèle aux références hispanisantes de son prédecesseur en inovant dans les matières et la fluidité des coupes, qui deviennent plus fonctionnelles. En 1987, il donne à la marque une nouvelle visibilité en impulsant sa ligne de prêt-à-porter. Guy MONREAL lui consacre à cette occasion un élogieux article dans L'Officiel de la Mode (N°736, 1987) : "Il vient d'inventer une jeune femme, dynamique et spirituelle.Il l'habille de jupes toupie et de jupons «cancan» pour le cocktail, de décolletés corbeille, de volants spirale et de manches lampion pour le soir.Et en hommage au grand cristobal, il la magnifie au finale de la collection avec des robes d'infante aux corsets brodés, aux jupes généreuses et bruissantes, à la somptuosité désamorcée par l'humour".

Elytis, Odysseus
        Autograph Letter Signed
      Athens: Odysseus Elytis, 1982. First edition. Not bound.. Very Good +. An Original Autograph Letter Signed from Odysseus Elytis to Mr. Antonopoulos of the winery Achaia Clauss. Written entirely in the Nobel Prize Winner&#39;s hand over both sides of a piece of his headed card stock (measuring 104 mm X 149 mm and dated 28th July 1982), the letter reads as follows: "My friend Mr. Antonopoulos, I have not forgotten my promise (my wish one would be more correct to say) to visit your facility in Patras. And I&#39;ll first tell you that for exceptional reasons I was obliged almost all spring to avoid all small movements. Now of course comes the time to leave for the summer holidays. But do not worry. I have all confidence when will be the right time to give a notice [of his planned trip to the winery]. Thank you again for your honest feelings. With friendly wishes Elytis." On the verso&#39;s lower left corner Elytis has written "Skoufa 23&#148;, his address in Athens. The letter in Very Good + condition with staple holes and a bit of wrinkling to the lower left corner (not affecting text) and two neat holes (also not affecting the text), presumably made by a prior owner in order to place the letter into a ringed binder. Odysseus Elytis (the pen name of Odysseus Alepoudhiéis) published his first poem at the encouragement of, among others, his friend George Seferis, winner of the 1963 Nobel Prize in Literature, was soon thereafter himself praised as an important writer, and ultimately also won the Nobel Prize in Literature (1979) "for his poetry, which, against the background of Greek tradition, depicts with sensuous strength and intellectual clear-sightedness modern man&#39;s struggle for freedom and creativeness". A lover of excellent wines, Elytis was friendly with the Antonopoulos family, operators of the winery Achaia Clauss, one of Greece&#39;s most famous wineries. The letter clearly shows Elytis&#39; intent to visit the great winery as many notable individuals had done before him. Signed letters from Odysseus Elytis, especially those written entirely in his own hand, are quite scarce indeed. A Very Good + Autograph Letter Signed by Nobel Prize Winner Odysseus Elytis.

Kitajima&#39;s lamdmark work, in the vein of Weege or Klein, documents both the chaotic streetlife and underbelly of early 80s New York. His images highlight the stark juxtapositions and quiet desperation of city life and, in the tradition of the flaneur, his eye zooms in on the passing celebrity, occasional decadence, and random displays of outrageous behavior.
