FAULKNER, WILLIAM
The Marble Faun. Boston: Four Seas Company, 1924. 8vo, original green paper boards, printed paper label on upper cover and spine, very rare original printed dust jacket, unrestored, glassine. First edition, first (and only) printing, of William Faulkner’s first novel. Dust jacket with a few small tears at corners and spine ends and a few creases; otherwise fine. Four Seas publishing company agreed to issue Faulkner’s collection of poems in 1923, providing he pay for the manufacturing costs (a usual request for Four Seas of their authors). Although Faulkner did not have the money to pay for the costs himself, he was able to secure the backing of a 27-year old colleague, Phil Stone, an attorney from Oxford, Mississippi, for the initial print run of 500 copies. The book sold poorly and Four Seas quickly moved it to the remainder shelf. While no record of how many copies Four Seas sold exists, an early estimate suggests about 100 copies. This estimate is supported by Faulkner scholar William Boozer, who has been able to locate approximately 70. The present copy, in the original dust jacket and very early, possibly original, glassine, has remained in private hands for decades. Property from a Private Collection Literature: Massey 743.

POUND, EZRA
An exceptional unpublished archive of forty seven letters to artist Ernest Tino Trova from St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in Washington, D.C., circa 1950, comprising 10 autographed letters signed (“E.P.”), six autographed cards signed (“E.P.”), one humorous drawing on a card signed (“E.P.”), 30 typescript letters unsigned (10 with Dorothy Pound’s autographed postscript [five signed (“D.P.”), three signed (“Dorothy Pound”], two unsigned, most with original envelopes), and nine autographed addressed by Ezra Pound, along with photographs, additional correspondence from Dorothy Pound, Edith Hamilton, and Jaime de Angulo, and three original drawings (unsigned) attributed to Ernest Tino Trova [see below]. The letters between the modernist poet and critic, Ezra Pound, and the modern St. Louis-based artist, Ernest Tino Trova (“Tino”), are primarily political in nature and relate to the publication of Mood. Fall, [1950] (no. 24): containing Pound items, Saint Louis: [Ernest Trova, 1950], which contained the following pieces: “Ezra Pound on gold, war, and national money”; “Ecrire franchement ce qu’ils pensent” [a translation of a letter from Remy de Gourmont to Pound]; Madox Ford at Rapallo : a conversation between Ford Madox Ford and Ezra Pound [translated by Olga Rudge]; A draft Bill of Rights adapted for the needs of Great Britain; As Sextant. The archive contains not only contributions of material for that issue, but also numerous tid-bits of advice from Pound to the young Trova, and correspondence regarding Pound’s request of Trova to draw a portrait of his ailing friend, Jaime de Angulo (Trova painted a portrait of Pound that Pound was very pleased with). In one of her letters to Trova, Dorothy Pound writes: “There is no doubt E.P. is interested in your ability, and he has NOT been interested in modern art for the past 20 years or more.” Outraged by the loss of life in WWI, Ezra Pound moved to Italy in 1924 and embraced Benito Mussolini’s fascism, expressed support for Adolf Hitler, contributed to fascist publications and made numerous broadcasts on behalf of the Italian government against the United States and Franklin Delano Roosevelt. As a result, he was arrested by American forces in Italy in 1945 and sent to a U.S. military camp in Pisa, where a 25-day stint in a small outdoor steel cage triggered a mental breakdown in the poet and critic. Deemed unfit to stand trial, he was incarcerated in St. Elizabeth’s psychiatric hospital in Washington, D.C. from 1945-1958.

Fine Books AND Manuscripts
Many notable authors, artists and academics contacted Pound while he was in St. Elizabeth’s, including T.S. Eliot, William Carlos Williams and William Butler Yeats, or made contact with his wife Dorothy, to facilitate a connection. These individuals, along with young students of art and literature and fanatics, kept Pound connected to the outside world and gave him an outlet to publish his work. The letters, typescripts and scribbled notes to Trova contain a pithy of expositions of Pound’s theories on economics and politics; he argues about taxation, systems of government, and the theories of his contemporaries. Ernest Tino Trova, who was quite young at the time, gave Pound a wonderful outlet in his publication of Mood, but he clearly saw more in the young artist, along with Dorothy, as is apparent in the correspondence regarding his portrait for their friend Jaime de Angulo. In addition to the correspondence from Pound directly, the archive contains the following: 12 ALS and one TLS from Dorothy Pound to Ernest Tino Trova (six signed “Dorothy Pound,” six signed “D.P.”, with original holograph envelopes); five TLS and one original drawing from Jaime de Angulo, thanking Trova for his portraits; six original black and white photographs of Jaime de Angulo sent by the Pounds to Trova for study; the two original drawings of Jaime de Angulo attributed to Ernest Tino Trova (referred to as “masks” by Ezra Pound); one original drawing of Ezra Pound attributed to Ernest Tino Trova on the back cover of Quarterly Review of Literature: Ezra Pound Issue. Indiscretions: An Autobiography Envoi, A Poem. Volume V, Number 2; typescript drafts of “Ezra Pound’s Economics,” 3pp., and “Ezra Pound on Gold, War and National Money,” The Capitol Daily, May 9, 1939, 4pp., along with a TLS from David Horton, Ezra Pound’s attorney; three extracted pages from Mood containing annotations from Pound, two typed and one in the hand of Pound; TLS from Ezra Pound’s brother, Omar Pound, thanking Trova for a gift; two typed documents, official release forms signed, from St. Elizabeth’s hospital, with original envelopes, one for a lighter and another for a compact.

In 1734, Michel Etienne Turgot, Prevot des Marchands du Paris from 1729-1740 (effectively the “Mayor”), approached Louis Bretez requesting a new map of the city. Having benefitted from relative prosperity in the Mississippi Bubble of 1719 and the Seven Years’ War of 1750, Turgot hoped the map, which was to be as accurate as possible, would have commercial benefits in promoting the city, as well as pleasing the King. The task took several years to complete; Bretez’s design was engraved by Claude Lucas. Closed repaired tears at folds of sheets 18/19 (the large fold-out sheet with the title cartouche); a few marginal brown spots and some light soiling; manuscript ex-libris to rear pastedown; loss to head and foot of spine and to part of the covers, replaced with matching calf; otherwise, internally, very good in a fine contemporary binding. $6,000-8,000

No statement, whether written or oral, and whether made in the catalogue, or in supplements to the catalogue, an advertisement, a bill of sale, a salesroom posting or announcement, the remarks of an auctioneer, or otherwise, shall be deemed to create any warranty, representation or assumption of liability.

AT THE SALE Refusal of Admission Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. has the right, at our complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or participation in any auction and to reject any bid. Registration before Bidding A prospective buyer must complete and sign a registration form and provide identification before bidding. We may require bank or other financial references. Bidding as Principal When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price, including the buyer’s premium, all applicable taxes and all other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed upon in writing with Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc., and that Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. will only look to the principal for payment. Absentee Bids We will use reasonable efforts to carry out written bids given to us at least 24 hours prior to the sale for the convenience of clients who are not present at the auction in person, by an agent or by telephone. Bids must be placed in U.S. dollars. If we receive written bids on a particular lot for identical amounts, and these are the highest bids on the lot at the auction, it will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and we do not accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors and omissions in connection with the written bid. Telephone Bids On lots with a low estimate of $300 and above and if a prospective buyer makes arrangements with us prior to the commencement of the sale we will use reasonable efforts to contact them to enable them to participate in the bidding by telephone and we do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and omissions in connection with telephone bidding. These telephone bids may be recorded at the discretion of Leslie Hindman Auctioneers.
Online Bids We will use reasonable efforts to carry out online bids and do not accept liability for equipment failure, inability to access the Internet or software malfunctions related to the execution of online bids. Reserves Some lots in the sale are subject to a reserve which is the confidential minimum price below which such lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate of the lot. Reserves are agreed upon with consignors or, in the absence thereof, the absolute discretion of Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders. With respect to lots that are offered without reserve, unless there are already competing bids, the auctioneer, in his or her discretion, will generally open the bidding at half of the low estimate for the lot. In the absence of a bid at that level, the auctioneer may proceed backwards at his or her discretion until a bid is recognized, and then continue up from that amount. Auctioneer’s Discretion The auctioneer has the right at his or her absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he or she may decide, to withdraw any lot, and in the case of error or dispute, and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to reoffer and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sale record is conclusive. Successful Bid The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In the case of a tie bid, the winning bidder will determined by the auctioneer at his or her sole discretion. In the event of a dispute between bidders, the auctioneer has final discretion to determine the successful bidder or to reoffer the lot in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, the Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. sale record shall be conclusive. Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer to the highest acknowledged bidder subject to the Conditions of Sale set forth herein, and the bidder assumes full risk and responsibility.
