Description: London: Printed for Abel Roper and sold by John Morphew, near Stationer's Hall, 1710. Octavo (19 x 12 cm.), [12], 127, [12], [12] pages. 35 plates, mostly folding. The final, unnumbered pages include bills of fare and bookseller's advertisements. All edges marbled. FIRST EDITION, published a year after the great chef's death. Maclean describes an additional printing of the first edition, printed for and sold by Maurice Atkins. "Lamb brought a touch of French snobbery to traditional English recipes for an increasingly prosperous group of wealthy merchants, urban professionals, and rural gentry. His recipes show a preference for French-style stewed and braised dishes over the boiled staples of seventeenth century England" (Anne Willan The Cook Book Library, page 197). As cook to five kings and queens of England, "few others could possibly afford to emulate the vast spreads of exotic and costly foods which Lamb so often called for in his book of Royal recipes." (Eric Quayle, Old Cook Books). ~ Internally sound, pages a bit darkened throughout. Some plates with browning to some creases or with an early and neat reinforcement at creases. In later, full brown calf, blind- and gilt-paneled and compartmented, with gilt-titled red morroco spine label. New endpapers. Binder's ticket of Period Binders of Bath, England pasted-in at rear. [OCLC records eighteen copies of this Roper printing and five of the Atkins printing; Bitting page 271 (calling for 34 plates only); Cagle 809; Maclean page 88; Pennell page 144; Simon 939 (the third edition of 1731; Vicaire, page 490; ESTC T91554].

Author: EVERGOOD, PHILIP

Description: Philip Evergood writes to Sidney Hill regarding, among other things, Sidney's catalogue of his Charles Dana Gibson show. Sidney Hill was co-owner. at the time, with his brother, Henry, of Berry-Hill Galleries in New York. Henry and Sidney moved from London to New York during World War II and established Berry-Hill Galleries. While they were scholars of and dealers in antiquities and gold boxes, they became known in America for dealing in American art. Berry-Hill had an exhibition from October 1 - November 15, 1965 of "Charles Dana Gibson, 1867-1944: Creator of the 'Gibson Girl'," an exhibition of over 100 original Gibson black and white drawings from the artist's collection. Evergood says that he is a "great admirer of Gibson for in his smooth way he is a social satirist of great stature like George Grosz was in a savage way." Evergood says that he is not sure he will get to see the exhibition because of "my wife's broken arm" and "some of my own problems which include great pressures of work...." Evergood was with Dintenfass Gallery in 1963 and left them to join Ziunta Gerst's Gallery 63 in New York. He exhibited at Gallery 63 and in Rome at their La Galleria 63 during 1963 and 1964. But in 1965 "Gallery 63 suddenly closed without warning" as he tells Sidney in this letter. So, as he also tells Sidney, it was in 1965 that he then went to Hammer Galleries, owned by Victor Hammer. Evergood must have been preparing at this time for what would be his first one-man show with Hammer Galleries which occurred in 1967. He didn't stay long there, however, as, according to details in "Philip Evergood: Never Separate from the Heart," by Kendall Taylor (page 20), in 1970 he left Hammer for Kennedy Galleries. Evergood reminds Sidney that since he was only interested in his work on an exhibition basis, he had to go elsewhere to "seek a permanent anchor," saying that he had "recently... joined the Hammer Galleries." He then speaks highly of owner Victor Hammer who "has great plans to how my work abroad." While in the 1930s, the Hammer Galleries were the first in the west to exhibit the Faberge eggs, by the 1960s they were focused on 19th and 20th century European and American Masters. In a side note, after the P.S., Evergood asks his correspondent if he has "seen the Kahns lately." This reference is most likely to Mr. & Mrs. Harry Kahn (1916-1999) who the Frick Collection "Archives Directory for the History of Collecting in America" lists as an art collector, an investment advisor and a philanthropist who served on the board of the Brooklyn Museum until 1997 and founder of its Contemporary Arts Council. An informative letter showing the working life of the artist, moving from gallery to gallery, preparing for exhibitions, and commenting on other artists. Signed "Phil Evergood" and again with initials in the P.S.

Condition: Near Fine
Description: New York: Dramatists Play Service. Near Fine. (c.1989). Unstated edition. Softcover. [very light smudging at top of front cover, minor soiling to rear cover; otherwise clean and unmarked]. (B&W photo frontispiece) A lesser-known work by ths American writer, who made his name in live TV drama in the 1950s, then segued into a somewhat fitful screenwriting career -- but whose name is probably most strongly associated with the hit 1966 musical "Man of La Mancha," for which he wrote the libretto, which was derived from his own 1959 television play "I, Don Quixote." This play, an anti-totalitarian piece set in Prague in the year 1316, was "suggested by an actual event as dramatized in the Czech language by Oldrich Danek" (that work, entitled "I Shall Return to Prague," had in fact been banned in that city). Although this printing bears only a 1989 copyright date, the first (and possibly only) production (for which the cast list, including Victor Buono and Carrie Snodgress, is printed herein) was actually mounted way back in 1978, at the Westwood Playhouse in Los Angeles, under the title "Play With Fire." The one review I was able to find (from The Los Angeles Times) was uncomplimentary, stating that it "tries several things at once and never quite decides which one it means to be: a comedy, a straight dramatic play, a satire, a musical, a mini-'La Mancha' (those overtones are strongest) or all of the above." Whoever wrote the Wikipedia entry on Wasserman seems to have been unaware of the 1978 staging, making reference to the play (under the title used here) as being included with some "fine and thought-provoking work [that was] ready to be produced" at the time of his death in 2008. .
