[Typed Letter, Signed, to Emil Ludwig]

by Shaw, George Bernard

  • Used
London, 1938. One page, on quarto sheet of letterhead. Ca. 125 words. Folded for mailing, two hole punch in left margin, trace of foxing, very good. Shaw writes to the Polish-born historian and journalist, then resident in Switzerland: "In journalism there is no such thing as an English gentleman. In the present rush of exciting foreign news every item is stale in two days. Pre-Anschluss news is already as hopelessly out of date as pre-war news. A fortnight ago I gave an important interview on the Russian trials. It was refused on the ground that the trials were quite forgotten. I will have to wait until somebody else is shot ...." In evident response to Ludwig's comments about another journalist, Shaw notes: "It is very annoying; but it cannot be helped until the papers have recovered from the shock of the Anschluss, though anybody might have known it was coming. Mr. White is totally forgotten whilst you still hold the field ...." Shaw closes by extending his warmest regards to "Frau Ludwig and yourself. Faithfully G. Bernard Shaw."

Description:
London, 1837. Addressed to an unidentified recipient, this signed letter concerns the appointment of an officer with hearing loss, which the Duke relates to his own experience of deafness. Like many exposed to the sound of artillery fire, the Duke of Wellington suffered from noise-related hearing loss. Subsequently he underwent a botched treatment which resulted in permanent deafness in one ear. This ALS is dated London, 16 April 1837. This was the year that Queen Victoria ascended the throne, and was written when the Duke was in his late 60s. Expected fold marks. Whole written in brown ink. 2pp. with integral blank leaf. 185 x 118 mm (7¼ by 4¾ inches)

So nice to receive your note--the "Art" sculpture is at Colby for '75 Inaugural (on loan). Bob." Indiana created Christmas cards that he sent to his personal friends, and Agnes almost certainly was the important Canadian-American artist Agnes Martin. I have not yet determined which sculpture is referenced in the note. The silkscreen is in near-fine condtion: clean and bright, with a hint of wear along the folding edge; the fold is slightly askew revealing a bit of the white margin of the note.. SIGNED.

1731 Letters of Turkish SPY by Marana Ottoman Letters Byzantine Political 6v SET

Most known for his work 'Letters Writ by A Turkish Spy', Giovanni Paolo Marana was a political refugee during the reign of Louis XIV in France. The first volume, however, is the only volume he is known to have written. The subsequent seven volumes are attributed to various authors, even though some experts claim that Marana himself may have written them.

'Letters' is a collection of hundreds of fictional letters by an Ottoman spy named Mahmut, who also happened to be in the court of Louis XIV. The correspondence in this work covers the mid-17th-century in France are a satirical view of the current state of politics and society in Paris – making slights at figures such as Cardinal Richelieu.

Jean Guez de Balzac was a 17th-century French author known for his letters and essays. His letters, which have been his claim to fame, have still been studied by modern writers for their prose style.

This 1634 first English edition of Balzac's 'Letters' was dedicated to Cardinal Richelieu and includes correspondence with Richelieu, Cardinal Valete, de Bois Robert, and many other prominent French nobles, though none more important than those to King Louis XIII.
