Title: Kentucky on the Brink of the Civil War: An Album Consisting of That Entire Border State's Delegation During the Era of the Compromise of 1850 and the Kansas-Nebraska Act
Author: Henry Clay
Seller: The Raab Collection (United States)
Description: 01/01/1851. The 32nd and 33rd Congresses served from 1851-1855. The 32nd Congress met after the Compromise of 1850 and the 33rd passed the Kansas–Nebraska Act, an act that soon led to the creation of the Republican Party. This was a consequential Congress and border states like Kentucky were on the edge of a precipice they could vaguely see looming ahead. Kentucky’s delegation was composed of prominent politicians in a state that boasted the citizenry of Henry Clay. Among the men who sat in the House and Senate were to be Union men, Presidential candidates and Confederate generals - Democrats, Whigs and others.During the 32nd Congress, someone met the entire Congressional Delegation of Kentucky, consisting of all 10 members of the House, as well as 3 Senators who would serve at one point or another during the two Congresses, but were present on Capitol Hill during that time.This is a document signed by all of them, no date but almost certainly late in the 32nd Congress, and for generations was part of the same private collection. Two of the signers had died by 1854. The Clay signature is a reproduction.Linn Boyd (D)Richard H. Stanton (D) - At the beginning of the Civil War Stanton was arrested and held at Camp Chase in Columbus, Ohio for supporting secession.Addison White (W) - His father was the richest man in America at that time.William Thomas Ward (W) - With the outbreak of the Civil War, Ward was commissioned as a brigadier general in the Union Army, serving throughout the war.Presley Ewing (W) - He died at the age of 32. His autograph is uncommonSenator Joseph R. Underwood (W) - Underwood manumitted his slaves and sent them to Liberia, and also urged others to do likewise. He supported the Compromise of 1850 and opposed secession, though his sons supported it.Senator John Burton Thompson (KN) - A former Whig, he was elected as a Know-Nothing.John C. Breckinridge (D) - He came in second to Abraham Lincoln in electoral votes in the election of 1860. He had been Vice President under President James Buchanan.Senator John J. Crittenden (W) - He served as United States Attorney General in the administrations of William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, and Millard Fillmore. He was also the 17th governor of Kentucky and served in the state legislature. Crittenden was elected to the United States House of Representatives in 1861, and supported the Union. However, he criticized many of the policies of President Abraham Lincoln and the U.S. Congress, including the Emancipation Proclamation and the admission of West Virginia to the Union.James W. Stone (D)Humphrey Marshall (W) - Four-term antebellum United States Congressman, a brigadier general in the Confederate States Army and a Confederate CongressmanJohn Calvin Mason (D) - Served as a delegate to the 1860 Democratic National Convention at Charleston, South Carolina. He also served as presidential elector on the Democratic ticket of Douglas and Johnson in 1860.Benjamin E. Grey (W)An interesting and uncommon set of signatures, obtained at a crucial time in American history.

Title: ARCHIVE OF FOUR ITEMS BY WWI GERMAN PILOT ERNST UDET FROM COLLECTION OF AMERICAM FILM DIRECTOR TAY GARNETT
Author: Udet, Ernst. (Garnett, Tay)
Seller: Johnnycake Books ABAA, ILAB (United States)
Condition: Very Good
Description: Berlin: Im Verlah Ullstein, 1937. Hardcover. Very Good/VG+. Udet, Ernst (1896-1941). (Garnett, Tay). Mein Fliegerleben (My Life as a Pilot). Berlin: Im Verlag Ullstein, 1937. Inscribed copy to American film director (and fellow pilot) Tay Garnett (1894 - 1977). Spanning nearly 60 years, Garnett's scriptwriting and directing career moved from the silents to the heyday of the Hollywood motion picture studio to television; of the hundreds of projects he either wrote or directed, he is best known for directing the American noir classic The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946). As a young man he served as Naval Air pilot in WWI and worked as a cartoonist before finding work as a title writer for Mack Sennett Studios. By the time sound came along, he was directing feature theatricals. Garnett and Udet met while Garnett was directing SOS Iceberg (1933). The two had much in common: both were accomplished cartoonists but most importantly both served, albeit in enemy forces, as air pilots in WWI, Udet being a star pilot of Manfred von Richthofen's Flying Circus and the highest scoring German ace to survive the war (at the age of 22). In the 1920s, Udet was working as a stunt pilot in German movies, and had a playing part in SOS Iceberg, a US-German co-production that Garnett shot in Hollywood and Berlin. The first item, is Udets autobiography, Mein Fliegerleben , inscribed by him to Garnett, in German, that conveys Udet's warm friendship and is dated by him 23/4/38 in Berlin, a year following the book's publication. The second item is a b&w snapshot of the two men with Garnett's notes in ink on the verso: "Udet + Me Berlin" presumably from 1938. The third item is Udet's privately-published 1938 pocket datebook illustrated with cartoons by him and inscribed by him to Garnett with an original self-caricature. The date book, measuring 2.5"x 4" in leather covers issued in blue leather folder, has 13 full page illustrations (title page plus 12 cartoons), printed in two-tone light green ink, telling the story, rather satirically, Udet's experience as a Luftwaffe to rebuild military air capacity under the Nazi leadership. Specifically, with the datebook, Udet tells his personal story of his frustrated efforts to develop the dive bomber as a principle aircraft for the German military. The story told in the cartoons is borne out by the historical record. Udet, like most German WWI veterans, conformingly joined the Nazi Party, and was instrumental in the early development of the Luftwaffe, in measureable part due to his friendship with Hermann Goring, who was his squadron leader in the Red Baron's Flying Circus in WWI. In the Luftwaffe, Udet was the leading proponent of the development of dive-bombing aircraft. Eventually overruled by military leadership and as Germany expanded and WWII finally erupted his influenced waned. The title page of the datebook pictures an airplane soaring above the clouds with rays of sunlight emanating from the swastika in the sky above, with "Weiter Voram" (sardonically translated "more progress"). Several of the cartoons include a self-caricature of Udet, one set in 1937 with Goring smiling in self congratulations at airplanes aloft over Switzerland, clearly an expression of their mutual aspirations for the Luftwaffe. Later in the series of cartoons, however, Udet mocks his disappointment with the Luftwaffe in a cartoon with him crying like a baby over a downed dive-bomber. (This cartoon depicts an actual incident: the restored aircraft is in the collection of the Polish Aviation Museum.) Other cartoons satirize, with caricatures of both German and French leaders, military and diplomatic foibles of German leadership. It is the self-caricature that Udet uses in the cartoons that accompanies the warm inscription, with best wishes for 1938, signed and dated 22/04/38 on the datebook cover verso. dustjacket, the unused datebook. The fourth item is a framed sketch by Udet of Garnett with a self-caricature of him in German airforce uniform with angel wings dated Berlin 1938.

Title: [Op. 22]. Vier Lieder [Short score]
Author: SCHOENBERG, Arnold 1874-1951
Seller: J & J Lubrano Music Antiquarians LLC (United States)
Description: Wien-Leipzig: Universal-Edition [PN U.E. 6060], 1917. Oblong folio (259 x 337 mm). Original publisher's printed wrappers. 16 pp. Schoenberg's preface, "Die vereinfachte Studier- und Dirigier-Partitur," explains the experimental layout of the score. Browned; slightly worn; dampstained at upper margin and center of upper edge. First Edition, first issue of the complete cycle. Rufer (E), pp. 40-41. GA B/3, pp. 189-90. The second issue (1920) was printed on better quality paper and in a slightly larger format. The Four Songs of op. 22 were Schoenberg's last composition before his seven-year hiatus as a composer, which ended only with his development of dodecaphony. They are set to texts by Ernest Dowson (1867-1900), in German translation by Stefan George (1868-1933) and Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926). The title does not specify a register for the vocal part, but a soprano is implied. "Schoenberg's 'simplified score for study and conducting' is supposed to resemble, in its appearance, a piano reduction for two or four-if necessary, also for six or eight-hands... The simplified notation of an orchestral score, however, is not the result of a [similar] simplification of the orchestra... The fact that similar sonorities are written in completely different ways makes reading more difficult, and Schoenberg never reverted to this manner of notation."
