Description
1 measure from the opening of the first movement. Notated in black ink on an album leaf, 203 x 123 mm. Dated "Montevideo le 27. v. [19]36." Inscribed to the Uruguayan political figure Alejandro Zorrilla de San Martin (1909-1987), prominent member of the Uruguayan National Party, with a reproduction photograph of Stravinsky and his son, Soulima, to head. Slightly browned; horizontal crease to upper portion just below Stravinsky's signature; manuscript identification and minor remnants of former mount to verso. The Firebird (L'Oiseau de feu; Zhar-ptitsa), a fairy tale ballet in two scenes, was first performed by Diaghilev's Ballets Russes in Paris at the Opéra on 25 June 1910, conducted by Gabriel Pierné. The original choreography was by Michel Fokine, with sets and costumes by Alexandre Benois; this seminal work led to further important Stravinsky-Diaghilev collaborations including Petrushka (1911) and The Rite of Spring (1913).

1845. GRANDVILLE, J.J. Cent Proverbes. With text by Amadee Achard, Taxile Delord, Emile Forguesvand Arnould Fremy. [4], 398, [2] pp., illustrated with wood engraved frontispiece, 50 full page wood engravings hor-texte, plus head-and-tail pieces by Grandville. 8vo, 228 x 140 mm., bound in publisher's polychrome cloth binding. Paris: Fournier, 1845. A fine copy of this delightful Grandville work, preserved in the scarce publisher's polychrome binding. While this book lacks the surreal qualities of Un Autre Monde, the presence of a substantial number of anthropomorphic illustrations in the manner of those which had appeared in Scenes de la vie privee et public des animaux, elevate it above the typical "romantique" book, and make it a worthy addition to the Grandville oeuvre. An exceptionally clean copy. Renonciat 178-183.

Description
Greenwich CT: Fawcett Publications (Gold Medal k1303). Near Fine. 1963. 1st Edition (pbo). Softcover. [nice tight copy, uncreased spine, light external scuffing to covers, some faint diagonal soft creasing at bottom right corner of front cover, agency name rubber-stamped on front endpaper]. Mass Market PB "An Original Gold Medal Book," one of many turned out by this prolific author of trashy pulp fiction during the 1950s and 1960s. This one is about a "guy who was known as Big Daddy Sex, sniffing out all the broads for miles around," and with some serious anger-management issues, to wit: "He'd been a blister of hurt and rages, ready to burst, and even then she'd [his long-suffering lover, self-described as his "doormat, secretary, armor, weapon, everything you needed"] known he needed something more." (The "something more" being Joanne Stark, "tease and tramp," whose "wildness was enough to warn a guy smart enough to sense the warning" -- which our protagonist, Clay Stuart, apparently was not.) .
