Holborn, I(an) B. S(toughton). An archive of nine letters 1906 – 1917 to Prof. Alan W.C. Menzies, including, Prof. Holborn's unique four-page calling card, and a first edition of his poetry, which includes "Lusitaniae Naufragium" and "Children of Fancy."
Professor Ian B. Stoughton Holborn was the laird of a small island in the North Sea, named alternately, "Foula," and "Ultima Thule." He owned and ruled about 200 residents of Ultima Thule. His skill as a champion swimmer saved his life when he swam away from the Lusitania. He very nearly lost his life years later visiting Princeton, when he went swimming in the Delaware and Raritan Canal and was almost drowned when the locks began to change. He was a professor of classical literature and lectured worldwide, being on staff at both Oxford and Cambridge. At the time his card was printed, Prof. Holborn claimed he was the only person to cross Lang Jokul in Iceland.
Sold with Professor Holborn's illustrated double-business card, complete with photograph and his résumé; and, his poetry, Children of Fancy Poems by Ian Bernard Stoughton Holborn, New York: Arnold Shaw, Edinburgh: Andrew Elliot, MCMXV [1915]. Bound in cloth with a stamped Celtic design on the front cover. Printed on heavy rag-content paper. First edition.
