Vintage borderless reference photograph from the set of the 1939 film, showing actors Carole Lombard and James Stewart. PIX agency stamp on the verso, crediting noted photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt, as well as a Westport Public Library stamp. During the Depression, an ambitious lawyer finds himself torn between his high-powered career, the demands of his difficult mother, and his life with his young wife and child. German-born photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt was one of the original staff photographers of "Life" magazine after it was purchased by "Time" founder Henry Luce in 1936. He published nearly 2500 photo stories for the magazine, with 90 of his images used for the magazine's covers, but is perhaps best remembered today for the iconic "V-J Day in Times Square" photograph. From the archive of the PIX Agency, an American photo house that acted as an intermediary between emigre photographers (as well as those still living in Europe) and the American magazine and newspaper market between 1935-1969. 10 x 8 inches, archivally mounted in a white mat measuring 17 x 14 inches. Near Fine.

1p., 4to. In good condition, lightly aged. Nash is named on the letterhead as the Association's president, and Morgan as Honorary Secretary and Treasurer. The letter begins: Dear Percy / | For various reasons we did not get a largely attended meeting on Friday, but the better feeling between members seems still to grow.' Nash's 'protracted illness' has clearly necessitated his stepping down as president, and '[a]fter considerable discussion it was decided to ask Pearson & Elvey [i.e. George Pearson (1875-1973) and Maurice Elvey (1887-1967)] to be President & Vice with myself to continue'. He has been asked to convey the Association's sympathy to Nash for his illness, '& a resolution was enthusiastically passed expressing the associations appreciation of your long continued & unselfish work, particularly in connection with [the] great fight to obtain The Quota'. He ends by saying that he thinks that 'for your patience & endurance there would today be neither The Association or The Quota'. 'The Quota' is the Cinematograph Films Act of 1927, which required British cinemas to show a quota of British films.
