Description
Syracuse and New York, NY; Chicago; Boston, 1917. Very good. 9¼” x 7¼”. Marbled paper over boards, cloth-taped spine. 140 blank lined pages with 80 programs, broadsides and clippings, a few pasted down, most laid in. Very good: book a bit overstuffed; frequent offsetting, light edgewear and creasing (in a few cases moderate); a few penciled dates to items and inked notations to pages. This is a collection of opera and theater ephemera from the 1860s into the 1910s, revealing noted stars and directors, many of whom were women, as well as famous institutions in New York, Boston and Chicago. Most of the items are programs for “this evening's entertainment” at such notable venues as the Grand Opera House of New York City, McVicker's and Hooley's Theaters in Chicago, the Boston Music Hall and many more. Lovely illustrated clippings and handbills announce the “important engagement” of Ellen Terry and the London Lyceum Company, “Clara Louise Kellogg in One Grand Concert Only” and the “Third Appearance of Miss Maggie Mitchell, The Pearl of the American Stage.” Clippings from the Chicago Opera Association's journal provide the “Story of the Opera” for Aida, Pagliacci and others, and there is a complete program for Margaret Mather's role as Julia in The Hunchback. A few items note engagements of Richings' Grand English Opera, “Mrs. C. Richings Bernard, Directress.” Caroline Richings sang in, composed for and managed the opera after her adoptive father retired. She later taught voice and piano, founded the Caroline Richings Old Folks Opera Company and the Richings-Bernard Conservatory of Music in Richmond, where she was also a principal singer for the Mozart Association. A few J.H. Haverly minstrels are shown in the collection, one with a handwritten note: “First Minstrels I ever heard where I laughed until the tears fall down my cheeks!! 1864 Syracuse N.Y.” Haverly created an entertainment empire with his minstrel troupes from the 1860s to 1880s, touring the United States and England. There are handbills for the Boston Ideal Comic Opera Company, the “Last Night of the Great Actress” Charlotte Cushman as Lady Macbeth before she died, “Eminent Tragedian” Lawrence Barrett as Hamlet and a magic show by “The Great and Only Herrmann” and his wife Adelaide, who later performed alone and earned the moniker “the Queen of Magic.” One clipping has a sketched portrait of “Ilma De Murska, The Celebrated Hungarian Nightingale” and there is a great photographic handbill for “The Celebrated Lineff Russian Choir,” led by “Mme.” Eugenie Lineff. The choir made a splash at the Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893 – “30 Artists in Native Costumes Will Perform DAILY the Enchanting Dramatic Representation of the Russian Peasant Wedding – First Time in United States.” A wonderful collection of illustrated and important theater and opera ephemera.

Description
New York: Marlborough Gallery, 1982. Bright yellow wrappers with minor edge-wear and blind impression to front panel, else near fine.. First Edition. Slim quarto. Catalogue published to accompany the exhibition of New Painting curated by Diego Cortez at Marlborough Gallery, New York (Jun. 4 - Jul. 9, 1982). "The politics of the New Painting is direct. People want image and color; after the quasi-cybernetic hardware-software Network hook-ups of the 70s (gadgets as concepts), artists are again working with their hands. A new manual culture. An eighties lunch-break from the seventies appropriation of art-labor." With poetic curatorial statement from Cortez—punctuated with excerpts from Zola—followed by color reproductions of a select work from each of the exhibited artists, including Georg Baselitz, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Sandro Chia, Francesco Clemente, Enzo Cucchi, Keith Haring, Jörg Immendorff, Anselm Kiefer, Per Kirkeby, Markus Lüpertz, A.R. Penck, David Salle, and Julian Schnabel.
