The English Fleet was first performed at Covent Garden in London on December 13, 1803, with Braham singing. "Sir Walter Scott described Braham as 'a beast of an actor, though an angel of a singer.' He composed songs and operas, including The English Fleet in 1342 (1803), and also wrote arias for interpolation in the operas of other composers, particularly for his own roles. 'All's Well' from The English Fleet was the most popular duet in the United States during the first half of the 19th century; other favorite songs were 'Tho' love is warm awhile,' 'Is there a heart that never lov'd?,' and 'No more sorrow.'

The Overbrook Press was founded in 1934 in Stamford, Connecticut, by Frank Altschul, an investment banker and civic leader with a lifelong interest in book arts and printing. Altschul initially pursued printing as a hobby, experimenting with a small press in his New York apartment. In 1934, he was approached by designer Margaret B. Evans, who had been working for Ashlar Press. Ashlar was closing, and Evans hoped Altschul would continue its work. Altschul set up the press in converted outbuildings on his Stamford farm and hired Evans as designer and compositor and John MacNamara as pressman. The Overbrook Press went on to print an eclectic variety of books and pamphlets, as well as ephemera such as awards and certificates. Evens placed great emphasis on technical expertise and craftsmanship, and even smaller pieces - political pamphlets such as Towards a More Creative Policy and short books on chess problems - were handled with surprising care. There were eight books published by Overbrook in the series. A Century of Two-Movers, An Artist in Chess Problems, A Chess Silhouette. One Hundred Chess Problems by the Reverend Gilbert Dobbs, A Sketchbook of American Chess Problematists, The Two-Move Chess Problem in the Soviet Union 1923-1943, Variation Play.

Title: "Science Fiction: Before Christ and after 2001" (in the 1975 Filmex catalogue)
Author: Bradbury, Ray
Seller: ReadInk (United States)
Condition: Near Fine
Description: Los Angeles: Los Angeles International Film Exposition. Near Fine. 1975. First Edition. Stapled wraps. [nice clean copy, faint external handling wear only]. (B&W photographs, ads, graphics) An original essay by Bradbury, contained in the official catalogue/program book for the fourth (1975) iteration of the once-beloved and still-lamented Filmex (the Los Angeles International Film Exposition), which was a major presence on the L.A. film-cultural scene from 1981 until its demise in 1985. This was also the festival's first year in its best venue, the Plitt Century Plaza Theatres, a two-screen facility which made possible one of its most anticipated and treasured events, the 50-Hour Movie Marathon. This year's inaugural Marathon was devoted to science fiction films: 25 full-length features were screened, along with excerpts from twenty more, plus several dozen trailers and all 13 chapters of the original 1936 FLASH GORDON serial. Bradbury was credited as "Special Advisor" to the Marathon, and contributed the original four-page essay that appears on pages 50-53 of this catalogue. (To those in the know, it's notable that two of the guiding intelligences behind the program -- credited with "assistance" -- were then-future-director Joe Dante and then-future-producer Jon Davison, who had more or less pioneered the cobbled-together "movie marathon" concept with their now-famous THE MOVIE ORGY, which took college campuses by storm in the late 1960s and early 1970s.) In his essay, Bradbury provides a very personal look at the history of science fiction as a genre (including some commentary on his own early writings), and its relationship to (especially) American society and history during its formative years. He writes: "Science fiction is insidious. It is secretly subversive of all that you have believed in the past. It is revolutionary in that it may well make you want to go out and invent better empathy-machines, which repeat truths and amiably shape dreams, such as those strange robots, the motion-picture projector or the record player." As far as I know, this essay has not been reprinted in any Bradbury collection. .
