Title: Photograph: Self-portrait with Picasso, 1965
Author: PICASSO, PABLO; BEATON, CECIL
Seller: The Manhattan Rare Book Company (United States)
Condition: Very Good
Description: France: np, 1965. First edition. Very Good. Cecil Beaton. INSCRIBED BY PICASSO IN RED AND BLUE CRAYON TO THE PHOTOGRAPHER, CECIL BEATON: "pour Cecil Beaton. Ami Picasso 9.6.65.". Cecil Beaton (British, 1904 -1980) photographed virtually every prominent person in public life over the course of his career, which spanned more than half a century. Everyone from the Queen to the Rolling Stones sat before his lens. As an arbiter of glamor, the opportunity to sit for Beaton represented the pinnacle of success for many, but in some cases it was Beaton who pursued the sitter, and he had followed Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881 - 1973) long before they first met. As one of the foremost artists of the twentieth century, Picasso was sought after by many who wanted to rub elbows with success. He became one of those whom Beaton photographed several times over a period of many years, first at the rue de la Boetie in Paris in 1933, then at the rue Augustins in 1944, and finally at Mougin in the south of France in 1965. (Vickers). In addition to taking photographs, Beaton wrote about Picasso in his private diary, sketched his portrait, and after the 1965 sitting wrote a profile of Picasso for Vogue Magazine. Photographs from Picasso's home in the hills above Mougin reveal a close bond between the two men. Here they appear relaxed, comfortable with one another, and with a gleam in their eyes. By then Picasso was 84 years old and still painting late into the nights. Writing in Vogue, Beaton describes Picasso's energy as he gave Beaton a tour of the sprawling studio crowded with paintings, some still wet with paint and others from decades before. Beaton wrote of Picasso's welcome: "Pablo said 'It has been twenty years since I last saw you!' A golden Picasso threw open his arms. 'After so long we must embrace.'" The two then made much fun about the passage of years and how they had aged. (Beaton). A clear sign of affection, Picasso inscribed select prints and dedicated them to Beaton. Picasso writes in red and blue crayon on this print: pour Cecil Beaton. Ami Picasso 9.6.65. The print stands as testament to the kinship between the two artists. Provenance: With stamp "From the Beaton Studio / Sotheby Parke Bernet" on verso (sold, Sothebys Parke Bernet, 1978). Also with stamped notation "1/1" possibly indicating that this is a unique print. We have not been able to locate any others. Silver gelatin print. Signed, inscribed and dated by Pablo Picasso "pour Cecil Beaton / Ami / Picasso 9.6.65" in red and blue ink (recto). Image: 111⁄4 x 73⁄4 in. (28.5 x 19.6 cm.); sheet: 111⁄2 x 91⁄4 in. (29.2 x 23.4 cm.). Majestically framed to an overall size of 24 x 19.5 in. Small abrasion evident to the right of Beaton's left ear; otherwise fine. References: Vickers, Hugo, ed. Cecil Beaton: Portraits & Profiles. London: Frances Lincoln, 2017. P 152. Beaton, Cecil. "Golden Picasso" Vogue Magazine, volume 146, November 15, 1965.

Description: New York or Boston presumed: Amory, Browne & Co., Boston and New York, 1924. First Edition. Paper. Stapled. Near Fine. Charming company product promotion that seeks to get at the buyer, the parent, by hooking the child through a ersatz children's book. An example of a not insignificant genre of commercial publication, with here, at least, the product being pushed is one that is meant for children -- crib blankets, and a Nashua Storyland Blanket meant for young children. But also being pitched are blankets and throws for anyone. Published by Amory, Browne & Co., a fabric company which was making the Nashua blankets being promoted here. Printer unknown. Oblong, 7.5 by 11.5 cm. Unpaginated, 24 pages, including covers. Color printed illustration on every page, and sometimes two small color vignette illustrations, with the only larger, or full page illustration, on the front cover, and two other pages blank but for the small color illustration (inside front cover, a few leaves and the sun, and the rear cover, of a cat balanced on a bar). 23 short poems, mostly four line, generally adaptations of Mother Goose nursery rhymes, modified to plug or minimally reference the Nashua company, but one four liner is a prefatory poem setting up what is to come, and a few are not Mother Goose but based on fairy tales such as Cinderella. The last five pages speak more directly about the company's products, with color vignettes of different patterned blankets. The illustrations redound with charm. Especially appealing is the cover showing a doll in bed with the Storyland Blanket, which is a blue blanket repeating the internal vignettes but on the blanket the illustrations are all rendered in simply white -- a sort of reverse silhouette. All the verse pages excepting the first have a greenish background color. Scarce -- no copies listed on OCLC. Condition: a tack hole, or slight roughness, upper left front cover. Flattened tiny dog ear, front cover. Minor soiling front and rear. Small abrasion area on rear cover. Generally clean. Easily Very Good, and in our view, Near Fine.

Front cover corner lightly creased. 1990 Trade Paperback. xx, 322 pp. "In 1902, at the age of six weeks, Don Burnap arrived at Fourth Lake in a packbasket. His parents, and brothers and sisters, began to carve a homestead from the wilderness surrounding the Fulton Chain of Lake, in the Adirondack Mountains of New York State. This is the story of how a family of seven lived in a camp by the shore, between woods and waters. They provided most of their own food, kept a horse and cow or two, and lived what seems to us now, a quiet and isolated life. Yet, with the nearby railroad, and the lake traffic, there was always something interesting happening. Here are stories of the community schoolhouse, the camp-building, the train wrecks, and the tragic accident which claimed Burnap's father's life. And this is the story of how the homestead evolved, and eventually became a popular resort, with multiple cottages and staff. For forty-seven years, Don Burnap was the Captain of the Fulton Chain mailboat, a unique dock-to-dock postal service. His recollections of camps, grande dame hotels, and native Adirondackers are all recorded in these pages.
