Description
Superb black and white photo of Welles in costume as Othello, in front of an Italian set (perhaps painted by Eugene Berman) apparently designed for this Christmas card, with "Othello / Buon Natale" on the banners at the top. Circa 1951. Inscribed in white ink "Dearest Dadda and Hazel: God willing this is the last Christmas in a long time - we'll spend apart --- All my love as always Orson". Maurice Bernstein ("Dadda") became Orson's legal guardian after the death of Welles's mother (when he was 9) and his father (when he was 15.) Bernstein called the young Welles "Pookles" and gave him two most influential gifts: a magic set and a toy theatre.

Description
Tokyo: Kaigai Kogyo, 1929. Very good.. [2],4,8,10,416,[4]pp., plus twenty-five double-sided photographic plates (one folding). Original illustrated wrappers printed in blue, green, white, and yellow. Moderate toning, minor edge wear. Light foxing to beginning and end of text block, otherwise internally clean. A rare and informative guide to Brazil intended for Japanese immigrants to the country in the early 20th century. The work contains chapters on the history of Brazil (including its relationship with Japan and information on the contributions of indigenous peoples and "Black Africans"), the geography of the country, the suitability of the country for Japanese immigrants (including the quantity of available land, a good climate, and a laundry list of favorable crops), origins, trends, and the present state of Japanese immigration (including detailed information on companies helpful to immigrants), the relationship and opportunities for Japanese immigrants in the coffee industry, and more. Towards the end of the work are detailed tables and lists of information on numerous historical, economic, and agricultural aspects related to Japanese immigration. The photographic plates picture notable monuments and scenery in Brazil, Japanese immigrants already in the country, various agricultural and business locations, scenes in Japanese colonies, shots featuring the harvesting of agricultural products, and more. The only folding plate is comprised of two pages showing small panoramic photographs of Japanese colonies, one along a river. Only one copy of this work in the world, at the National Diet Library in Japan.
