Description
London, Bahamas, 1964. Ebba Yvonne (“Vonnie”) Watson Rowland Pinker Henderson (1898-1974) was the wife of James “Ralph” Seabrooke Pinker (1900-1959). She worked for her husband’s publishing firm, started by James Brand Pinker who represented several prominent British authors. After taking over the business, both of his sons, Eric & Ralph went to prison for embezzlement from the firm’s authors and Ralph went bankrupt in 1941. The Pinker firm was sold and Yvonne divorced Ralph while he was in prison. ~This archive covers the years c.1910-1964, with a focus on 1934-1942. Figures such as Archibald Wavell, Trevor Blakemore, and Charles Morgan discussed the hardships and destruction from the war, and several mention Ralph Pinker’s financial troubles. Included is an invitation from Aldous Huxley’s wife to have drinks, on the author’s letterhead.~Of particular interest are the 100+ letters from Harold Courtenay “Lupin” Armstrong, a fascinating figure. A WWI veteran and former prisoner of war in Turkey, he made a living writing popular novels. Lupin’s letters to Yvonne show a very close friendship in the wake of his well-catalogued unrequited love for her. His letters also discuss his regret in being unable to fight ‘the Hun’, food shortages, the blitz, and refugee children. ~The photograph albums and hundreds of loose photos cover this time period and chronicle her family’s journey relocating to America after the war. She, Siri, and her third husband Michael Chipchase Henderson (1915-1963) look radiant with happiness in the numerous post-war photos. ~1 box letters, photographs, and albums. Good+.

Description
1992. unbound. Handwritten letter from Oliver Stone to Washington Post columnist Tom Shales. Written on personal stationery, front and back, Stone thanks Shales for his analysis of his film JFK..."heartened that someone who has not cared for my work in the past would be able to change his opinions". William Oliver Stone is an American filmmaker. An acclaimed director who tackled subjects ranging from the Vietnam War and American politics to musical biopics and crime dramas, Stone has received numerous accolades including three Academy Awards, a BAFTA Award, one Primetime Emmy, three Independent Spirit Awards and six Golden Globes. This is a new item from the collection of Television critic Tom Shales (1944 - 2024). Shales was an incisively funny Washington Post columnist, he earned the nickname Terrible Tom and had the clout to make or break shows. Shales won the Pulitzer Prize for criticism in 1988. During his three-decade career those in the industry considered him both a kingmaker and a high executioner in an era when network television's hold on American culture was at it's peak. Time magazine called him "brilliant, thoughtful, incisive and screamingly funny...also, vicious, infuriating, cruel and unfair". His thrice-weekly Washington Post TV column, 'On the Air,' syndicated in 59 other newspapers. The Tom Shales collection includes letters, cards and correspondence from celebrated television and entertainment legends, newscasters and politicians, including letters from Norman Lear, David Letterman, Johnny Carson, Conan O'Brien, Garry Shandling, Fred Rogers, Carol Burnett, David Brinkley, Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw, Edward Kennedy, Nancy Reagan and many more.

LD. Sir John Davidson Beazley (1885-1970) a British classical archaeologist and art historian specializing in the classification of Attic vases by artistic style, and a professor of archeology and art at the University of Oxford. H. R. W. Smith (1891-1971) was also a British classical archaeologist, authority on Greek vase painting, and museum curator that spent most of his career at the University of California, Berkeley. Included in the card was a warmly inscribed letter from Beazley and wife Marie on letterhead, "September 23, 1951, Dear Mrs. Dunlap, There are indications that my Californian lectures are on the point of appearing, and I have asked the Press to send you a copy of the book with my compliments. Will you please accept it as a small token of my gratitude for your thoughtful kindness and precious aid to my wife and myself during our stay in California? We shall never forget our visits to your house and to your ranch, your driving, our conversations. I hope your children are well. With kindest regards and best wishes to you and your husband from us both, Yours sincerely J. G. Beazley." Marie then added to this note, "The lovely coloured photographs of our kind friend H. R. W. Smith sat with use in the Louvre, under a heavy grey stormy sky and cheers me wonderfully. So you were with us among the thousand fragments which under my dear husband's magic influence we're meeting once more to become cups. Love and Good Wishes. Marie Beazley" This book was from the Dunlap estate, an old well known Napa County family.
