Description: New Haven, Connecticut: Yale University, 1953. An excerpted loose leaf from the Yale University Library Gazette. Single leaf folded; [4] pp. 6.5" x 10. Single unbound leaf folded, [4] pages total. Some toning to paper and three very small tears at edge of paper though not bad; else very good. An excerpted loose leaf from the Yale University Library Gazette. Single leaf folded; [4] pp. 6.5" x 10" Danford Newton Barney (b.1892 - d.1952) was a poet and photographer who from 1922 until 1930 maintained a photographic studio in New York where he made a series of portraits of authors and artists. Five stunning portaits of Barney's were featured in The Yale University Library Gazette [Vol. 27, No. 4; pg. 151-157 (April 1953)]. The subjects were Irish novelist Donn-Byrne, actress Ruth Draper, poet and Pulitzer Prize winner Sara Teasdale, humorist Irvin S. Cobb, and Welsh painter and etcher Augustus John. Also featured was a photograph of Barney himself, in memoriam, as he'd died the previous year. This is an excerpt from that issue featuring the bold black and white images of the first four of those figures, though John's portrait and the one of Barney are absent here.

Title: Body’s Breviary
Author: Joseph Warren Beach (1880-1957)
Seller: John Howell for Books (United States)
Description: Pamphlet. 7 1/8 x 4 3/4 inches. [ii], 30, [2] pp. Printed in red and black ink throughout; text unmarked with occasional light marginal soiling. Wrappers printed in red and black; binding square and tight, light shelf wear and soiling. SCARCE in the market. ST1021-006. Very Good. LIMITED EDITION, printed by Gregg Anderson for presentation to the members of the Zamorano Club, limitation not stated. Only a few copies were produced for the Zamorano Club. Presented by Robert E. Cowan. Ward Ritchie met Gregg Anderson in 1928, when Ritchie was 22 years old; Anderson was 19 or 20. Ritchie and Anderson were to form the company, Anderson, Ritchie, and Simon, before Gregg Anderson died tragically on July 5, 1944. In the meantime, this book was undertaken by Ritchie, Powell, and Anderson in a studio in Clyde Brown's Abbey of San Encino. "Gregg had long wanted to do a book to give to the Zamorano Club. In fact, he had started it a year or so before, had printed a few pages which he hadn't liked, and quit. With our new set-up operating, he revived this project, Body's Breviary by Joseph Warren Beach. It was a piece which he had read in the American Mercury, and had liked. He got permission to print it from the publisher but never heard from the author until after it was printed…. From the standpoint of design this was the first mature piece Gregg had done. It was restrained, delicately arranged, and well conceived." Ritchie, The Ward Ritchie Press and Anderson, Ritchie & Simon, pp. 19-20. Joseph Warren Beach was an American poet, novelist, critic, educator and literary scholar. Beach graduated from the University of Minnesota, where his uncle Cyrus Northrop was President, in 1900; he went on to earn an MA and PhD (1907) from Harvard. Beach returned to the University of Minnesota in the English Department. Beach published a number of works of poetry, literary criticism, and fiction. His first volume of poetry, Sonnets of the Head and Heart (1903) must have been the source for this collection printed by Gregg Anderson in 1930.
