(MARTIN, Vivian). A SIGNED PHOTOGRAPH OF VIVIAN MARTIN.
Ca. late 1910s. 9-3/4 x 7-3/4in. b&w photograph, matte finish on heavy stock, fine.
Exceedingly scarce autographed photo of the all but forgotten silent screen star who was one of Mary Pickford’s rivals for the title of the screen’s most beloved blonde ingenue; indeed, in the late 1910s Paramount successfully wooed her from World Film Corp. Her career with Paramount was brief; the studio routinely cast her in unworthy projects, their interest in her only, it seems, to provide a check to Pickford’s increasing financial and otherwise demands on the studio. After a public legal tussle with Samuel Goldwyn, who later distributed her production company’s films, Martin’s career effectively ended in 1924.

BARBEY D’AUREVILLY, Jules-Amadée. THE ANATOMY OF DANDYISM, With Some Observations on Beau Brummell; Translated from the French of… by D.B. Wyndam Lewis: and Illustrated with Dry-Points by Hermine David.
London: Peter Davies, 1928. 8vo, xvi, 84pp, engraved title & 7 engravings. Orig. black cloth, spinelettered in gilt, very good.
One of an edition of 500 numbered copies of the most significant work on dandyism, an example here of one dandy writing about another. “D’Aurevilly laid the foundations of his literary career in France with a slender volume in praise of Brummell’s dandyism. Barbey’s book is the pivotal work upon which the history of the dandy tradition turns. Little that came after it cannot somehow be traced to Barbey’s Du Dandyisme… Little that had come before it (the memoirs, the novels, the legends of the original Regency tradition) escaped Barbey’s attention.” (Moers, The Dandy, p.256).

The author chooses Nevada and Utah as her locale; the California reference is in the nature of a descriptive ‘Ghost town Directory’ to some seventeen of our State’s ghost towns. The introductory chapter, ‘Ghost Country,’ is a classic in desert literature” (Edwards, Enduring Desert p.179).
