Description
1967. A unique visitors book kept by a prominent boutique, filled with the iconic names of the era, from Mick Jagger to Queen Elizabeth II to Donovan to Twiggy With thousands of signatures, the most complete such collection we have seenSwinging London: Its very name conjures up images of style, culture, excitement and romance. Presided over by a young Queen Elizabeth, London transformed itself from a bleak, conservative, colorless city, only just beginning to forget the troubles of the Second World War, into the focus of all the world’s attention, bursting into bloom with color, freedom, optimism and promise. It represented a fundamental and explosive change in attitude, values, and art. And all classes took part, from the Queen’s own sister, Margaret, to a hairdresser’s daughter, Cilla Black. London was the center of all the action; the city where everything was happening and where anything was possible.London captured the imagination of the world’s media, and soon had the full attention of youth everywhere. And when Time Magazine in its April 15, 1966 issue dubbed London: the Swinging City, it cemented the association between London and all things hip and fashionable that had been growing in the popular imagination throughout the decade. London seemed like the capital of the world and all eyes were on it.The importance of London in the making of the Sixties cannot be exaggerated. There, in that one place, at that one time, was the center so many revolutions. There was the fashion revolution, with clothes becoming more playful, colorful, and youthful. This was exemplified by the shops on Carnegie Street and in Chelsea, and the eclectic I Was Lord Kitchener’s Valet on Piccadilly. The sartorial splendor of these fashions was exhibited by models like Twiggy and rock stars like Mick Jagger. There was the art and design revolution, which filled London with galleries and studios. There was the music revolution, exemplified by the Beatles and Rolling Stones. In the U.S., all talk was of the British invasion. It’s hard to overestimate the impact British music had on the lifestyles and aspirations of the youth of America. Looking back, we can almost close our eyes and see Donovan singing Catch the Wind for Bob Dylan or 73 million Americans watching The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show. And then of course there was the recreational drug revolution, with these drugs being normative by the end of the Sixties; and the sexual revolution and the shattering of gender roles.Americans flocked to London to participate in it all. You’d find Bob Dylan and Judy Garland there, the Byrds and Beach Boys were there, and so many others. And not everyone was famous. There was the boy at the New Jersey shore looking out over the ocean and thinking London was just on the other side, and he would go there (and did). And Americans weren't the only ones. People from all over the world came to London.Many of London's most fashionable boutiques of the late 1960's and early 70's were on Fulham Road, which runs through Chelsea, and one of these was owned by Neil Zarach. Zarach partnered with the designer David Hicks (who also happened to be Lord Mountbatten's son in law) in this iconic enterprise. In the ’70s Hicks left the business and Zarach took over full ownership. Zarach's client list included fashionable London society, as well as many of the world's rulers, mega movie stars, rock stars, tycoons, and others of note in Swinging London. The shop was famous for its parties, like the ""Red Opening"" on November 7, 1968.The shop kept a guestbook, which in time became two volumes (one labeled “Visitors), altogether 225 pages, with over 1,000 signatures. The first volume covers 1967-1971, the second volume 1971-1974, with additional entries for an event on June 7, 1984. The six pages for the “Red Opening” are memorialized here with the names in red pen. These books are a virtual compendium of the people who made Swinging London. Not only the famous names, though there are plenty of them, but also the others in every walk of life. We have never seen a broader and more diverse collection of signatures that reveals all the facets of Swinging London reach the market, and we obtained this one in England.The Visitors Books: The press was at the boutique in force. Signing the guestbook were journalists representing well over a score of leading newspapers, magazines, and television outlets. These included Vogue, which sent Julian West its senior fashion editor, Harpers Bazaar, The Times, Architecture Magazine, Cosmopolitan, House and Garden Magazine (which sent its editor Olive Sullivan), the BBC, New York Journal of Commence, Art Forum, and Italian Television.As for visitors, we lead off with royalty. The book is presided over by signatures of Queen Elizabeth II; her sister Princess Margaret (signing as Margaret Rose), along with her husband Lord Snowden; their cousin Alexandra; Umberto, the last king of Italy; Ali Mirza, Iranian prince; and Elizabeth Oxenberg, princess of Yugoslavia. This is the only time we have seen something signed by both Elizabeth and Margaret, making this exceptional. Then there is Lord Louis Mountbatten, great-grandson of Queen Victoria. He was named Chief of Combined Operations headquarters in World War II, and the last Viceroy of India. Princess Lee Radziwill, a sister of Jacqueline Kennedy, also signed, as has the Shi’a leader the Aga Khan.From the world of entertainment, actors include such giants as Julie Andrews, Elizabeth Taylor, Luise Rainer, Christopher Plummer, Joan Collins, Angela Lansbury, Leslie Caron, Maggie Smith, Lauren Bacall, and Linden Travers (actress for Alfred Hitchcock). Also Swinging London icons Peter Sellers, Michael Caine, and Julie Christie, among many others. Then were were innumerable people associated with theater and film, like Michael Briggs, location manager for the Godfather; Gerald Vaughan-Hughes, writer of plays and TV series; Jack Hildyard, Oscar winning cinematographer; Maurice Binder, film designer who did the James Bond movies; Dennis Stock, artist and photographer who shot several documentaries, including one on the Hippies in San Francisco; George Axelrod, screenwriter, producer, director, and playwright; Troy Kennedy Martin, film and television screenwriter; Peter Hall, theater, opera and film director; Henry Kaplan, film director; Richard H. Coll, cinematographer and composer; noted film director Stanley Donan; and George Watters, Oscar winner for sound editing.What would Swinging London be without music? The guestbook contains Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones, those name is synonymous with sex appeal and swagger; Dusty Springfield, singer and Jagger’s then-girlfriend; Donovan, whose Catch the Wind catapulted him into fame and friendship with the Beatles; Cilla Black, the top-selling female rock artist in England. She was discovered by the Beatles, as Cilla’s mother Priscilla White, was best friends with Ringo’s mom. Even Suzy Creamcheese is here; she accompanied Frank Zappa. There is Rory McEwen, presenter of the ground-breaking folk and blues TV program, Hullaballoo, and was a leading light in the great wave of cultural change sweeping through 1960’s London. A version of Hullaballoo appeared in the U.S. Also Shel Talmy, record producer, songwriter and arranger, who worked with the Who and Kinks; and Martin Turner, musician and founder of the group Wishbone Ash.There are many hundred names from the world of fashion and design. Among these are David Hicks, model Twiggy (and her manager Justin de Villeneuve), who ruled Carnaby St.; Marguerite Littman, model for Andy Warhol; and Peter Marlowe, legendary rep for hundreds of London’s greatest models. Mary Quant’s husband Alexander Plunket Greene was there, and undoubtedly reported what he found to her. Also, Cecile Moon of Christian Dior; Dudley Poplak, interior designer who worked with Princess Diana in the ‘80s; Paul Hould and Allen Vetere of trendsetting Connaissance Fabrics in New York; Agnes Comar, boutique owner in Paris; J. Reed Crawford, high-fashion milliner/designer; Patricia McRoberts, model for Yves St Laurent; Stanley Falconer of legendary design firm Colefax & Fowler; fashion designers Rupert Lycett Green and Ossie Clark; Christopher Vane Percy, designer, president of the International Interior Design Association; Wilmer Weiss, fashion executive; renowned interior designers John Stefanidis, David Resnick, George Freeman, Mark Hampton, Keith Irvine, Tessa Kennedy and Budd Sugarman; Ken Lane, designer, luxury jeweler; Zandra Rose, fashion designer; Karl Springer, furniture designer; Beryl Hartland, clothing designer; and Carla Venosta, industrial designer.Among the artists are Eduardo Luigi Paolozzi, known for his sculpture and graphic works. Widely considered to be one of the pioneers of pop art; Robert “Groovy Bob” Fraser, art dealer to the Beatles; Nicholas Egon (leading portrait artist); AGM (Tony) Krikhaar, plus Duncan Grant, Jeff Hoare, Yves Corbassiere, Michael Michaeledes, Paul Wyeth, Chiquita Astor, Michael Upton, and Noel Dyrenforth, artist and textile designer. Art dealer Roy Miles and illustrator Ralph Steadman are also included.Photographers include Cecil Beaton, photographer to the Queen, fashion, portrait and war photographer; Bruce Laird, photographer and friend of Jimi Hendrix; Marc Hispard, fashion photographer in Paris; Zoe Dominic, dance and theatre photographer; plus Peter Carapetian, Peter Rand - photographer, and Derek Cattani.Authors include Robert Lacey, Martin Amis, Alan Burgess, Robert Carrier (chef and cookery writer), Jeffrey Finestone and Philip Mason (who wrote on India). Noted architects include Cedric Price and Patrick Garnett.From the world of business and philanthropy we find David Rockefeller, William O. Baker (Bell Labs president), Nicola and Paolo Bulgari of the Bulgari fortune, Paul Getty, Jr., Raphael Etkes (head of Embassy Pictures), and philanthropist and banker Dante Leonetti.Plus there were notable people who fit into no category. Like Victoria Ormsby-Gore, part of the fashion and arts counter-culture in London whose father was ambassador to the U.S., socialite Penelope Sitwell, Suna Portman (whose parties were legendary), Sheila Scott (aviator, the first person to fly over the North Pole in a small aircraft),Veronique Peck (arts patron, philanthropist, and wife of Gregory Peck), Kenneth Newton (celebrity doctor), MP Veronica Wadley, Lord Weymouth, and the notorious libertine Lord Egremont.These names are the smallest fraction of the names present, and a fuller list is available. Together they constitute a truly important collection of Swinging London signatures, and constitute a window on the era of the Sixties.A fuller list:J. Reed Crawford - high-fashion milliner/designer in Swinging LondonOlive Sullivan - interior designer, editor of House and GardenElizabeth Wakefield - owner of Lough Cutra Castle, redesigning itWilliam Spowers - director of books and manuscripts for Christie’sFritz Suckle - of the Curtis & Davis architectural and design firmPatricia Keerian - reporting on this for the Daily MailWilliam O.

From R. C. Jenkins - March 1867." Binding slightly worn, soiled, and bumped. Some minor internal soiling, browning, and foxing; final "m" of "Kollmann" trimmed by binder. First Edition. Cortot p.181. Gregory-Bartlett I, p. 252. Wolffheim I, 1016. Hirsch I, Appendix 47. RISM Écrits p. 780. "[Serre was a] Swiss painter and music theorist. From 1723 to 1727 he studied natural sciences at the University of Geneva. After working as a miniaturist in Vienna, he went to Paris in 1751, where he published criticism of the theories then being expounded by Blainville, Rameau and Euler... Serre's writings on music dealt primarily with the philosophical and methodological aspects of the important theoretical ideas of his day. His arguments attempted to clarify theoretical principles and develop them through critical, analytic and scientific procedures. His most significant contributions concerned the foundations of harmonic theory, Rameau's basse fondamentale, temperament and resonance, combination tones, the derivation of the minor mode and related topics." Albert Cohen in Grove Music Online "Kollmann related German and English musical cultures. He corresponded with J.N. Forkel and gathered English contributions for Gerber's Neues Lexikon. He persistently advocated the music of J.S. Bach and printed in his treatises a number of Bach's compositions and in 1806 a separate edition of Bach's Chromatic Fantasy. In 1799 he proposed an edition of the '48', but after Forkel remarked on this, three European publishers proceeded to print it and Kollmann withdrew. He provided, however, a manuscript from which the Wesley-Horn edition of this work was prepared and lent other Bach material to Samuel Wesley when the latter's interest in Bach was roused. Kollmann translated excerpts from Forkel's life of Bach for his magazine the Quarterly Musical Register (1812) and may have assisted with the first complete English translation published in 1820." Michael Kassler in Grove Music Online A very good copy, with distinguished provenance.

When it was published, George Perry's book on shells was ridiculed for its eccentric taxonomy and fanciful coloring. However, it has now been accepted as a serious scientific work, and Perry's shell names are still in use today. The prints of shells are vibrantly colored, and are the only conchological prints made by aquatint. See Classic Natural History of Prints (Shells) and Nissen ZBI 3134.

Description
1862. Boston: Crosby and Nichols, 1862. Original blind-stamped dark green cloth, illustrated on the spine in gilt. First Edition of this novel set in, and written during, the American Civil War. It is the best-known, if not only, novel by "Florence Erwin" -- about whom virtually nothing is known. In fact, both the title page and the binding are intentionally ambiguous: since the central characters of the book are the journeying Florence Erwin and her husband, is FLORENCE ERWIN'S THREE HOMES the title only, or the author plus the title? The headline atop each page is "The Three Homes." The story follows the lives of three women, each from a different background, who are affected by the war in different ways. The first woman, Mary, is a wealthy plantation owner from the South who is forced to flee her home when the Union Army invades. The second woman, Alice, is a Northern abolitionist who moves to the South to help slaves escape to freedom. The third woman, Kate, is a young girl who is sent to live with her aunt in the North after her father dies in battle. As the war progresses, the lives of these three women become increasingly intertwined... [Amz]. It is interesting that since this book was "deposited" in 1861 and first published in 1862, the three women's tales involve a lot of imagined outcomes, on the part of the author. Included are numerous illustrative plates. This is a remarkably close-to-fine copy of this uncommon wartime novel (spine gilt a little oxidized, front endpaper very slightly cracked, but scarcely any wear).

Manchester: Printed by M. Falkner and Co., 1792. FIRST EDITION. Lacks wrappers, first and last page soiled as consequence; marginal stain to last three leaves at hinge (adhesive?). First edition of this pamphlet, which nearly caused Cooper to be arrested for sedition. Cooper (1759-1839) was an English radical and Jacobite sympathiser. After his return from a trip to Paris with James Watt Jr. (1769-1848), he was strongly reproached by Burke for consorting and marching with revolutionaries. Cooper gives this strong reply, criticizing Burke and the English system. He later moved to America, where he was eventually imprisoned for six months for his strong opposition to the Sedition Act.
