I will with pleasure do anything I can to help her, but your own influence is very great I need not say.”At present, there is a provincial company doing Lady Windermere’s Fan–if there should occur a vacancy, would she care, or you care for her to go with it? The part would be quite a small one, of course.”Thanks for y’r wishes for my new play–I have settled nothing yet–but think of letting the Haymarket have it.”

Paul verlaine (1844-1896)
Mes Prisons.

Paris: Léon Vanier, 1893. [iv], 81, [1] pp. 8vo, sewn pamphlet in printed wrappers bound into contemporary ¾ morocco over marbled boards, by P. Hauttecoeur, gilt rules and title to spine; marbled endpapers, ribbon marker; light wear to spine ends and corners, moderate rubbing along joints; moderate toning to interior, slightly heavier near edges of margins, small binder's ticket to head of front wrapper, later exhibition or auction slip (of Galerie Georges Giroux) tipped to front endleaf, presentation inscription to Edmond Picard from Verlaine to front free endpaper. First Edition. The inscription reads: "à Monsieur Edmond Picard/ hommage affectueux/ P. Verlaine."

Mes Prisons is an account of the various prisons endured by the great poet, beginning with the school "dungeon" where he was sent as a child for an incorrect Latin conjugation through several incarcerations for disturbing the peace as an adult. Most of this book is concerned with his two-year sentence to Mons prison (of which he served 18 months) for the murder of Arthur Rimbaud, his lover, in Brussels, on July 12, 1873. Verlaine discusses the shooting and the trial, his life in prison afterwards and the various psychic prisons he has since occupied.

Picard (1836-1924) was Verlaine's lawyer in the Rimbaud affair and one of the poet's closest friends. Also a distinguished journalist, playwright and patron of the arts, he was nominated for the Nobel Prize in literature five times. A lecture Verlaine delivered on his prison experiences in Picard's home was the basis of Mes Prisons. This lecture was arranged by Octave Maus, a Belgian art critic, writer and lawyer. His invitation to Verlaine asked for a presentation that would "have a little bearing on the law.... [I]t might be interesting to hear your account of your judicial dealings in Belgium.... My Prisons by Paul Verlaine-what an alluring title for a lecture" (cited in Richardson). This presentation was a notable event. According to Petitfils, it was attended by all of Belgium's most important writers. Richardson, Verlaine 303. Petitfils, Verlaine 398-403.

Edward carpenter (1844-1929); george cecil ives
Prisons Police and Punishment: An Inquiry into the Causes and Treatment of Crime and Criminals.

London: Arthur C. Fifield, 1905. 153, [7] pages; publisher's advertisements to last 7 pages. 8vo, original rose cloth, front board with title and border stamped in black, gilt-stamped spine. Inscribed by Carpenter: "To George Ives / in friendship from / E.C." dated March 1905 and penciled note beneath: "Whose is the work of which this is only the fore-runner?" First and only English Edition. Inscribed by the "Gay Godfather of the British Left" to a fellow activist.

Carpenter was an English writer, reformer and lifelong advocate of gay liberation. Disenchanted with what he perceived as the hypocrisy of Victorian society, he abandoned his life in Cambridge as a scholar and cleric and moved to northern England. Referred to by many in recent years as "the gay godfather of the British left," Carpenter's radical politics and open relationship with his partner George Merrill influenced many activists and writers, including E.M. Forster, whose visit to the couple in 1913 inspired his novel "Maurice."

This work on prison reform, prefaced by an excerpt from The Ballad of Reading Gaol” is inscribed to a close friend and activist, George Ives. Together with several others, they founded the progressive British Society for the Study of Six Psychology, which promoted both sexual liberation and education through a rational approach to sexual conduct. Ives also independently established the Order of Chaeronea, a secret society meant to provide refuge from the prejudices of Victorian society and further the cause of gay liberation (among others, Wilde was rumored to be a member). The text itself is marked and, in a few places, annotated or corrected in ink, most likely by Ives based on the initials “G.I.” after one note, but possibly by Carpenter as well. Among the work’s influences is Clarence Darrow, the American lawyer who also wrote extensively on penology and prisons. A French edition was published by Schleicher in 1907.

Percy anderson (1851-1928)
Archive of 101 costume designs and related correspondence for the play “Kassa.”

14 brown paper folders separating contents by scene. Each folder contains a lined, folded notebook sheet with a notary seal on cover and occasional fabric swatches for the realized costumes; contents hold Anderson's costume drawings in watercolor, ink, and wash, the versos contain notations and signatures used in English legal court proceedings over the dispute between Anderson and Kassa's playwright, John Luther Long (see note). Average measurement of drawings is 254x180 mm; 10x7¼ inches; nearly all bear Anderson's monogram. Lined notebook sheets measure 12¾x8 inches. Presumed to be complete.

A fascinating archive of costume designs for a grand-scale, early 20th century stage production. Kassa was an Edwardian-era dramatization of the story of "the broken butterfly" from the ancient Hunnish book. Its author, John Luther Long, was a collaborator of the great theatrical producer and playwright David Belasco, who first adapted Long's short story "Madame Butterfly" to the stage before Puccini adopted the libretto for what became his most famous opera. Kassa's leading lady was Mrs. Leslie Carter, among the greatest actresses of her generation, nicknamed "The American Sarah Bernhardt." The play premiered at the New National Theatre in Washington, D. C. on January 4, 1909 before traveling north to Broadway's Liberty Theatre for a short but well-attended run.

Anderson was a prolific and successful English stage designer of opera and musical comedies, best known for his long tenures with the Savoy Operas, D'Oyly Carte Opera Company, and His Majesty's Theatre. Although focused on musical theatre professionally, socially Anderson also enjoyed the company of writers, artists and politicians, including Hamilton Aidé, Lord Ronald Gower and Hugh Walpole with whom he was closely associated. While Anderson's work was more rooted in 19th-century tradition, his work can be seen as an important forerunner of the more famous Avant-Garde stage designers Leon Bakst, Claude Lovat Fraser, and Edward Gordon Craig. Kassa's massive eighty-five member cast kept Anderson busy and the sheer number of designs in this archive display his dedication to the stylistic details demanded of the scenes and storyline. The attention to color, fabrics and finishes, historical style, accessories, and harmony of group attire are exquisite, each drawing enriched with his copious notes.

Due to a disagreement regarding payment and use of the designs, legal action was brought by Anderson against Long for non-payment of these designs. The archive contains a few documents relating to this case including: a series of seven Typed Letters Signed by Long in 1908 from Philadelphia, relating to the staging and production of Kassa, and stating that Mrs. Leslie Carter was responsible for payment to Anderson for the costumes, a Manuscript Letter Signed by Anderson to Carter, 1909, and the original mailing envelope with same notary seals as the folders, containing those contents, sent by Henry F. Walton, Esq. to the Court of Common Please in Philadelphia, stamped September 16, 1912.

Maud hunt squire (1873-1954)
Two watercolors.

Women Knitting in the Square. 235x200 mm; 9¼x8 inches * Woman in a Café. 225x164 mm; 8⅞x6½ inches. Both signed and inscribed "Paris" in pencil, lower right on the paper mounts. Both circa 1903-14.

Provenance: Zabriskie Gallery, New York; private collection, New York.

Squire was born in Milfred, Ohio and attended the University of Cincinnati before completing her studies at the Art Academy of Cincinnati from 1894-98 where she studied with Frank Duveneck. She worked as a book illustrator and was also known for her color intaglio prints and pastels.She had a lifelong relationship with Ethel Mars (1876-1959) who she met while a student at the Art Academy. They lived together in Paris and Provincetown, Massachusetts and were active in the art scenes. The couple were close with Gertrude Stein whose work Miss Furr and Miss Skeene (believed to be the first work to use the work "gay" to relate to homosexuality) is thought to be based on Mars and Squire's relationship.

Otho cushing (1871-1942)
“The Song of Higher Arthur.”

Illustration to accompany Cushing's poem of the same name, published in Life Magazine, Volume 58, page 1092, 1911. Pen and ink on illustration board. 520x695 mm; 20½x27½ inches. Signed "Otho Cushing" lower left image. Poem typed on small strip of partially cropped paper, mounted to upper right corner of verso.

Though an accomplished illustrator, cartoonist, and poster artist who studied and taught in the U.S. and abroad, there exists little biographical coverage of Cushing, much as a result of his heirs destroying evidence of his sexuality. Most prolific at the turn of the century when commercial illustration hit its stride in magazines and newspapers, he was influenced by his contemporaries J.C. Leyendecker, Aubrey Beardsley and his admittedly favorite illustrator, Lord Frederic Leighton. Art historians have remarked that across his body of work, a clear homoeroticism can be detected in the proportions and the haughty attitude of his young male subjects, evidenced here by the dance's onlookers.

Silver print, the image measuring 235x152 mm; 9¼x6¼ inches, the mount 356x254 mm; 14x10 inches, with the Pach Brothers' imprint on mount recto. Circa 1920s.

With--A letter written by Jeff Schaire, a former editor-in-chief of Art and Antiques Magazine, describing some context of this work, which was supplied by Barnes to the American Academy of Arts and Letters upon her induction. The Pach Brothers studio was commissioned to create a new portrait of each inducted member, however apparently Barnes insisted on supplying her own image, which was then mounted to a Pach Brothers' board. Both Man Ray and Berenice Abbott photographed Barnes in the 1920s, but this image, featuring a striking high-necked polka dot blouse and hat, is uncredited.

Djuna Barnes was an avant-garde American artist and writer, perhaps best known for her novel Nightwood, a work employing themes of love, gender, and sexuality.

(paul swan 1883-1972)
A stylized portrait of the dancer, artist, and eventual gay icon by Charlotte Fairchild.

Silver press print, the image measuring 241x191 mm; 9½x7½ inches, the sheet slightly larger, with two typed caption labels (one obscuring the photographer’s credit stamp), two press stamps, and the date and various notations in pencil on verso. April 10, 1926.

Paul Swan was an American painter, sculptor, dancer, poet, and actor, known for his beauty, unconventional behavior, and gender nonconformity. He performed Greek-inspired dance throughout his career, finding it to be a near-perfect mode of expression. His near nude performances shocked even Paris, where he performed for a time in the 1930s. Later he held weekly Sunday dance recitals from his studio in Carnegie Hall (1939-1969). His approach, which remained unchanged over the decades, came to be perceived as campy, and Andy Warhol included him in his 1965 underground film Camp. Swan’s many faceted career also included appearances in silent films, including Cecil B. DeMille’s The Ten Commandments, and painting and sculpture commissions. His bust of Willa Cather is in the Nebraska Capitol Building.
