Barthélemy directeur, pour le compte de Fernand Mourlot et André Sauret. Les lithographies originales de Georges Braque et les reproductions ont été tirées sous la surveillance de l'artiste par Mourlot frères"--Colophon. "Le texte de Pierre Reverdy, Une aventure méthodique, est orné de vingt-six lithographies originales de Georges Braque qui a également exécuté la couverture & une lithographie en couleurs pour le frontispice de cet ouvrage.""In his essay on Braque, Reverdy views as a unity the thirty-five years of the painter's activity.... this poet had more than any other the background and aesthetic insight to elucidate the painter's aims and preoccupations.... Braque, without leaving the world of every man's experience, has revealed new images, new depths which utter, like destiny, truths which no one else could have brought to light." Renée Riese Hubert, "Georges Braque & the French Poets." Books Abroad, vol. 37, no. 4, 1963, pp. 389-90. Reverdy writes, "I assert that Georges Braque has undertaken and successfully carried out, in his life and his experience as a painter, a methodical adventure. For at the start and heading toward the future, there was nothing but unknown."In Dora Vallier's catalogue raisonné of Braque's graphic works (no. 49), she notes that although the project was initiated by Mourlot, the book was actually published by Maeght.

1857. Signed. ROSS, John. Autograph letter signed. [Oklahoma], March 6, 1857. Single sheet of lined blue paper, measuring 7-3/4 by 6-3/4 inches; pp. 2. $3000.Wonderful signed autograph letter, dated 1857, from Cherokee Nation Chief John Ross directing his brother, National Treasurer Lewis Ross, to pay John Ross's general store partner and brother-in-law John Stapler for school supplies given to the Cherokee Female Seminary.The signed autograph letter, dated ""Executive Department, March 6th, 1857"" and written entirely in John Ross' hand to his brother, National Treasurer Lewis Ross Esq., reads in full: ""Will pay to the order of John W. Stapler the sum of Eleven Dollars & Seven cents out of the School fund for supplies furnished the Female Seminary —— in the hands of H.D. Reese Steward, and for Requisition of Wm.P. Ross Clk of the Board of Directors & this shall be your warrant for the same—$11.7/100. Yours Truly Jno Ross."" John Ross was the Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation, dubbed ""the Moses of his people"" by one prominent journalist. Ross led his people through some of the most traumatic events of the time, including both the Trail of Tears and the Civil War. Here, he is ordering his brother, National Treasurer Lewis Ross, to release funds to his brother-in-law and general store co=owner, John Stapler, for school supplies provided to the Cherokee Female Seminary. The seminary was opened by the tribal council in 1851 near Park Hill, Oklahoma. While the seminary (boarding school) was originally staffed almost entirely by Americans of European descent who did not provide instruction in the Cherokee language or culture, the Cherokee Female Seminary quickly became a center for intellectual life in the Cherokee Nation. Prior to burning down in 1887, the seminary was a leader in producing academically inclined Cherokee women, many of whom went on to become leaders in their community. From the collection of William Wheeler III, a distinguished American history collector. Autograph annotation marking same-day receipt of the letter.Small ink splotch and faint soiling to closely trimmed letter, a bit of wear to edges not affecting text. Near-fine condition.

Description
Marseilles, France, 1823. Single three-page printed letter. Folded; Near Fine.. Fitch Brothers & Co. was a mercantile and commission house founded in the late 1810s or early 1820s by Asa Fitch, his brother Douglas Fitch, and his nephew William D. Lee. Asa Fitch (1787–1865) had worked at the American consul in Alicante, Spain, from around 1805 to 1809, where he established his reputation as a merchant and banker. In 1814 he moved to Marseilles and opened a commission and banking house patronized by the French government in “appreciation of his courtesy" for managing the financial affairs of “several of the royal exiles” while in Alicante.[1] Douglas Fitch and William Lee then joined him. According to the family history, the firm was also a supplier of the US Navy in the Mediterranean. Asa Fitch returned to the US in 1828 to manage the US side of the business and invest in New York City real estate; on his retirement, he built up and founded Fitchville (now Bozrah) Connecticut. This circular was sent to Enoch Silsbee (or Silsby), a merchant and ship owner from Boston who was primarily involved in the cotton trade. The circular contains prices for goods from opium to Gruyère cheese, and the text following the price listing gives more detail about the market for particular goods including coffee, pepper, and indigo.

New York: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2017. Reprint. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. 5x1x8. Lee, Alan. 2024 16th printing. An exceptional copy. Binding tight and square, pages clean, bright, and unmarked. 2017 Hard Cover. 288 pp. Color plates by Alan Lee. Painstakingly restored from J.R.R. Tolkien's manuscripts and presented for the first time as a continuous and standalone story, the epic tale of Beren and Luthien will reunite fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings with Elves and Men, Dwarves and Orcs and the rich landscape and creatures unique to this high fantasy world of Tolkien's Middle-earth. The tale of Beren and Luthien was, or became, an essential element in the evolution of The Silmarillion, the myths and legends of the First Age of the World conceived by J.R.R. Tolkien. Returning from France and the battle of the Somme at the end of 1916, he wrote the tale in the following year. Essential to this epic romance, and never changed, is the fate that shadowed the love of Beren and Luthien: for Beren was a mortal man, but Luthien was an immortal Elf. Her father, a great Elvish lord, in deep opposition to Beren, imposed on him an impossible task that he must perform before he might wed Luthien. This is the kernel of the legend; and it leads to the supremely heroic attempt of Beren and Luthien together to rob the greatest of all evil beings, Melkor, called Morgoth, the Black Enemy, of a Silmaril in a legendary quest. In this book Christopher Tolkien has attempted to extract the story of Beren and Luthien from the comprehensive work in which it was embedded; but that story was itself changing as it developed new associations within the larger history. To show something of the process whereby this legend of Middle-earth evolved over the years, he has told the story in his father's own words by giving, first, its original form, and then passages in prose and verse from later texts that illustrate the narrative as it changed. Presented together for the first time, they reveal aspects of the story, both in event and in narrative immediacy, that were afterwards lost.
