Description
New York: Crosby Gaige, 1928. First edition. Fine. Preceding the first trade edition. One of 861 copies signed by Virginia Woolf. A Fine copy. Publisher's black cloth titled and decorated in gilt. An extraordinarily bright and attractive example. Released at the height of Woolf's literary celebrity, Orlando was a thrill to contemporary reviewers: "Those who open Orlando expecting another novel in the vein of Mrs. Dalloway and To the Lighthouse will discover, to their joy or sorrow, that once more Mrs. Woolf has broken with tradition and convention and has set out to explore still another fourth dimension of writing...In this new work she is largely preoccupied with the time element in character and human relationships, and with a statement of the exact complexion of that intangible moment...which we refer to as the present" (contemporary New York Times review). Blending literary narrative with feminist theory, Orlando explores Einstein's theory of relativity through the lens of a single life that evolves over centuries. "At the beginning of the book, Orlando is a [Elizabethan era] boy of sixteen, melancholy, indolent, loving solitude and given to writing poetry...the book ends on the 11th October 1928, and Orlando is a thoroughly modern matron of 36 who has published a successful book of poems and has evolved a hard-earned philosophy of life" (Cleveland). The result is an allegory that questions the stability of any human category - individual character, gender, selfhood - and a novel that considers how time changes both individuals and society. Orlando is a testament to Woolf's innovative mind, and to her role as one of the most important early contributors to feminist and queer literature. Fine.

Description
126 pp. 8vo (195 x 130 mm.), late 19th-cent. blue sheep-backed marbled boards, spine gilt. Paris: Lebrun, 1788. A rare auction catalogue, priced throughout in a contemporary hand, of a formidable collection of paintings. Although Lugt attributes this to Montesquiou (1739-98), it seems that most of the lots did not belong to him. Jean Baptiste Pierre Lebrun (1748-1813), this sale’s expert, was known to add his inventory and lesser consignments to prestigious sales for which he was responsible. Montesquiou, member of the Académie Française and a general, was close to many of the physiocrats. The present catalogue describes 276 lots of paintings by artists such as Giulio Romano, Guercino, Tintoretto, Veronese, Albani, Velazquez, Panini, J. Brueghel the Elder, Bril, Rembrandt, Brauwer, Hals, Teniers, Rubens, A. van Dyck, J. Ruysdael, Potter, Jordaens, A. & I. van Ostade, Metsu, Wynants, Wouwerman, C. Netscher, Miel, N. Berghem, Lairesse, Maes, J. Steen, Lancret, Weenix, Bega, Le Nain, Vouet, G. Poussin, S. Bourdon, Watteau, Coypel, C. Vanloo, F. Boucher, Natoire, Lagrenée aîné & jeune, H. Robert, Greuze, Fragonard, Norblin, etc., etc. The remaining lots consist of ceramics, sculpture, Japanese lacquer and porcelain, ornate pieces of furniture, chandeliers, clocks, and girandoles (for a grand total of 417 lots). The Dutch and Flemish paintings sold for extremely high prices. The annotations also show which lots were bought-in. A very good copy. A few leaves with minor foxing. Engraved bookplate of G[eorges] P[annier], and stamp of the Bibliothèque Heim on verso of title. ❧ Lugt 4364. Getty Provenance Index F-A941.

HARRY WOODRING. Archive. Featuring a Harris & Ewing photo of Roosevelt at his desk signed and inscribed,"to Helen Woodring (wife) from her friend Franklin D. Roosevelt". With over 30 official and other photos of Woodring and/or his wife, many being proof copies from Harris & Ewing, five acetate recordings of Woodring including the "Cabinet Series" of the "United States Government Reports" radio series with paperwork, a 1940 letter from General George Marshall, assorted certificates, calling cards, government letterheads, Woodridge family ration books in a leather case, leather jewelry/vanity case with Mrs. Woolridge's initials and December 25, 1939 date, etc. First half 20th century. Historical Background After serving for three years as the Assistant Secretary of War, Woodring took office in September 1936, a month after his predecessor George Dern's death in office. As Secretary of War, Woodring continued Dern's recommendations for increasing the strength of the Regular Army, the National Guard, and the Reserve Corps. However, Woodring was also a strict non-interventionist, which put him increasingly at odds with Roosevelt's cabinet. They placed increasing pressure on Woodring to resign and on Roosevelt to fire him. Instead, Roosevelt appointed interventionist Louis A. Johnson as Assistant Secretary of War. Woodring and Johnson immediately clashed and came to the point where they no longer spoke to each other. On June 20, 1940, Roosevelt fired Woodring and replaced him with Republican Henry Stimson, who had been William Howard Taft's Secretary of War and Herbert Hoover's Secretary of State. Although Roosevelt appointed Woodring to succeed Dern as Acting Secretary of War in the fall of 1936, he did not officially nominate him until April 27, 1937. The Senate confirmed the appointment on May 6, 1937. Roosevelt issued this formal appointment as Secretary of War to Woodring the following day. Harry Hines Woodring (1887-1967) was born in Kansas, the son of a farmer and Union Army soldier. He attended a business school in Indiana, which helped him get a job at a bank in Kansas. He became vice president and owner of another bank, when he enlisted as a private in the U.S. Army. He later served a junior officer in the Tank Corps during World War I. He won election as governor of Kansas as a Democrat in 1930. He served as Governor of Kansas from 1931 to 1933, but lost a re-election bid in 1932. Incoming President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed Woodring as Assistant Secretary of War. In that position from 1933 to 1936, he had supervision over procurement. Roosevelt promoted Woodring to the position of Secretary of War to succeed George Dern, who had died in office. Woodring served as Secretary of War until Roosevelt fired him in June 1940. Woodring returned to Kansas, where he ran unsuccessfully for governor in 1946. He also unsuccessfully sought the Democratic nomination for that position in 1956. Provenance Descended in the family of Harry Hines Woodring, Topeka, Kansas. Condition Most items in very good to excellent condition. Roosevelt photo with 1 inch tear from top edge, several recordings with flaking to surface.

Description
Boston: Koppitz, Prüfer & Co., 30 West St., cor. Mason Street; New York: Wm. A. Pond & Co, 1869. Folio, lithographed cover with hand-coloring. Stitching removed at margins suggesting this was bound in a larger volume, else about fine. Signed by Holt next to the illustration. Near Fine.. A finely executed example of post–Civil War American sheet music lithography depicting stage performer Elise Holt in masculine costume, top hat, and cigar, in a style typical of Boston commercial lithographic production of the period. The imagery situates Holt within the established nineteenth-century tradition of theatrical male impersonation or “breeches roles,” in which female performers adopted masculine dress and gesture as part of fashionable stage personas. Archival records identify Holt as a ballet dancer who later appeared as a burlesque performer and died while touring in 1873 after contracting typhoid fever.[1] She led the Elyse Holt Burlesque Troupe. Photographic evidence held by Digital Commonwealth likewise shows Holt posed in masculine stage attire, indicating that male impersonation formed part of her professional repertoire. The song, sometimes seen as “Tassels on her Boots,” extolls the virtues of women’s clothing. Overall a nice lithographic example of women performing in men’s roles, showing a fairly obscure but widely touring performer whose career was tragically cut short by illness. We find two copies of this sheet, at BYU and Baylor.
