In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Fine. 1st Edition. The sole UK printing published by The Scolar Press, London / LaNana Creek Press, Nacogdoches, Texas in 1999. Number '145' of a limited edition of 210 numbered copies (of which 200 were for sale) signed by Omar Pound and the designer and printer, Charles Jones. The BOOK is in Fine condition…in a Fine matching slipcase, with a printed title label pasted to the spine. Charles Jones printed 200 copies on a Vandercrook Universal III press, on Magnani Biblios mould made white wove paper. The edition is hand-bound in Harmatan's tan leather with Japanese bookcloth covered boards, and slipcased. In the late 1930s, Ezra Pound planned an edition of the 'Cantos' to be illustrated by his wife, the artist Dorothy Shakespear. She created the designs, but for various reasons, the edition was never published. This volume presents them in a limited edition based on a selection of pages from the 'Cantos'. The selection has been made by Omar Pound, the son of Dorothy Shakespear and Ezra Pound. The edition has been designed by the LaNana Creek Press' printer, Charles Jones, and reflects the style and generosity of materials and processes that were the hallmark of private press publishing in the 1920s and 1930s. A very handsome production. More images available on request. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.

In den Warenkorb185/210 COPIES signed by Omar S. Pound (who contributes the biographical note on his mother Dorothy Shakespear) and Charles D. Jones (the book's designer and printer), printed on Magnani Biblios Mouldmade white wove paper, each Canto with historiated initial, the letter itself printed in red, & numerous further monochrome decora…tions all by Shakespear, pp. [102], folio, original quarter tan morocco with red Japanese silk boards, cover with black stamp featuring artist and author's initials, matching slipcase with printed label to spine, fine. Around fifty Dorothy Shakespear designs published here for the first time, the majority for a new edition of the Cantos, following on from the initials which she provided for A Draft of XXX Cantos issued by the Hours Press in 1930. Owing to the Second World War, the project was never completed and it is to the credit of the two presses and all involved with the publication that these designs in 'an emphatically modern style, one invoking the angularity and bold simplicity of Vorticism and the calligraphic sweep of Chinese ideographs' have now seen the publishing light of day. They are 'eminently well suited to the expressive embellishment of the quintessentially modern text they were designed to illuminate.' (David A. Lewis, Preface) Dorothy Shakespear was the daughter of Olivia Shakespear, novelist and friend - briefly, the lover - of W.B. Yeats; it was she who introduced the latter to Ezra Pound, whom Dorothy married in 1914. Though a manifestly talented artist, one of only a few women to participate in the short-lived Vorticist movement that her husband had formulated, Shakespear never exhibited; her work, in a public sense, was largely restricted to cover-designs and illustrations for Pound's projects - and her energy was in general subordinated to his requirements, in literary, business and health matters, through good times and bad. Their marriage endured, though his mental and physical decline corresponded with their progressive estrangement.

In den WarenkorbPound was related to the Busha family through the marriage of his first cousin once removed Ida Lillian Pound (1858-1949) to Charles Thomas Busha (see 'Ezra and Dorothy Pound: Letters in Captivity, 1945-1946, ed. Omar Pound and Robert Spoo, 1999). The two letters are each 2pp., 4to. Both in fair condition, lightly aged and worn.… Both closely typed on both sides, with a few autograph emendations; the second letter with an autograph postscript. 'Tommy', who at the time of the first letter is serving with the United States armed forces, is also referred to by his nickname 'Toppie'. ONE (18 May 1945). A long gossipy letter, packed with family news, concluding: 'Ezra Pound is to be brot [sic] to U.S.A. to stand trial for treason, for just why, I cannot tell you. He is supposed to have talked over the Rome Radio against the U.S.A. I think that he made the same remarks that Hoover and other Republican leaders made against the new deal and after that country of Italy joined with Germany those remarks weren't free speech as we call it here. However, I have yet to know just what the real charge is that is to bring him here for trial. Aunt Alice Robertson wrote the other day as if he had been in hiding and was just found, said she saw his picture and a news item to that effect in a Montana paper but I did not see anything. His father died over there in 40 I think and she, his mother wrote me that the American consulate wanted her to go to Lisbon and take passage for U.S.A. but she said if she came, there was no home for her here. Omar, Ezra's only child [Omar Shakespear Pound (1926-2010)] lives with his grandmother Shakespeare [sic, for the novelist Olivia Shakespear (1863-1938)] in London or near there, always has and I wish I could hear what happened to Cousin Isabelle, Ezra's mother. I visited her in Philadelphia and she is surely sweet. About eighty three now. I must get busy at once on some files. Thanks for letter and do keep them coming. Love from | Aunt Beulah'. Other topics include: V. E. Day and 'the Chinese retreat from Foochow'; a visit from 'Aunt Helen'; 'Mabel'; 'Ford and Bobby'; 'Bea's card'; the sale by 'Alice Helen and her husband' of 'their home in Seattle'; 'David Busha Granley'; 'Ida', who is at 'Treasure Island, or rather at Almeda', TWO (19 August 1947): Written in the same style as One. Begins with news of a communication from Pound's wife the artist Dorothy Pound (née Shakespear, 1886-1973): 'Your letter was such a happy surprise. I had been wondering about you, if you were vacationing or going to summer school, and since Dorothy Pound's last note stated that Omar was in Hamilton College, I had wondered if you two cousins might meet. You will have a lot of fun, sort of catching up on family history. And Dorothy has said that it is possible that sometime she and Omar might come to see me, so we will keep this trip that you and he may have in mind. If he gets out here, he will love the country and later bring his mother. Right now, I have been looking for a note from her telling me if Omar's grandmother has arrived from Italy, or a note from Isabella herself telling me if her plans to come are shaping up. Since Mother has not been writing, I have corresponded with the "Italy Pounds" myself []'. She continues on the topics of Homer's pension, and a letter she has received 'from Ezra from Elizabeth's Hospital', which she has forwarded to 'Dorothy, Omar's mother'. She discusses a photograph she has of Omar, taken 'when he was a small tot': 'Aunt Isabelle has told me so much about him, I feel as if he is one of my own circle of adopted sons'. She discusses his actual relationship to her and the recipient, concluding: 'Anyway, even if the cousin-ship is not close, you can be real buddies at that.' She reminisces on an 'Easter vacation with Homer and Isabelle in Philadelphia' when she was young. She continues with family news concerning 'Uncle Pat'; 'The girls'; 'Aunt Bea'; and 'the original Busha name [] "Boucher"'.

In den WarenkorbUnbound. Zustand: Very Good. A collection of promotional material relating to the musical scene in Rapallo, Italy in the 1930s, with connections to Ezra Pound, his family, and his mistress Olga Rudge, all of whom played an influential role in the scene. The collection was assembled by Yale Professor Donald Gallup who published a… bibliography of Pound. At least four of the pieces here are referenced in Gallup's bibliography (one directly, three indirectly) and three other pieces are dated in ink, one with notation (presumably by Gallup). The collection includes 16 pieces (plus one duplicate) featuring flyers/handbills, postcard-style handbills, programs, a broadside, and a short piece of music (stapled wrappers, 4pp). Also included, though not counted in the 16 pieces, is a small tourist pamphlet from 1934 promoting the town of Rapallo and lending some geographical context to the collection, featuring a small map and illustrated from black and white photographs. All of the text throughout the collection is in Italian. Many pieces are age toned or sunned, some have edgewear, and the tourist pamphlet has two small pinholes, but overall a very good collection. Ezra Pound called Rapallo home for many years, writing a portion of his *Cantos*, welcoming his son Omar, and championing a unique series of concerts. Focused on intimate performances put on by local musicians, Pound yearned to create what he called "a laboratory for the objective (with the emphasis strictly on that word) examination of music." The book *Ezra Pound and Music: The Complete Criticism* edited and with commentary by R. Murray Schafer dedicates an entire chapter to Pound's work in Rapallo, even reproducing the front cover of one of the programs featured in this collection. We feel it's appropriate, if not necessary, to quote this chapter at length to better contextualize this collection and demonstrate its uniqueness, as it incorporates direct quotations from Pound regarding the project: "It was imperative that the concerts should remain modest and should employ local musicians as much as possible. 'Civilization begins when people start preferring a little done right to a great deal done wrong,' Pound wrote in 1937. They were not to replicate the musical life of larger centers. 'I have said several times that it is useless to do on a smaller scale in Rapallo what is being done with magnificence and great means elsewhere.' The focus was at all times to be on the music; no star system, no pandering to the public. Pound wanted a laboratory in which to put his ideas into action." This collection provides a snapshot of Pound's laboratory, with pieces from both eras of the Rapallo concerts, pre and post Gerhart Münch's departure in 1935 (per Schafer) with ten of the performances advertised mentioning him. The earliest printed date is 1933 and the latest date given is 1938 (via bibliography, E2o). Also listed in ten performances is Ezra Pound's longtime mistress, the violinist Olga Rudge. One program (the one reproduced in *Ezra Pound and Music*) lists Pound's father, Homer, and his wife, Dorothy, as supporters of the concerts and lists Ezra Pound among the committee members. One broadside "Stagione Musicale del Tigullio: 21 Gennaio Dal 2 Al 5 Febbraio" was written by Pound, with his printed "E.P." at the bottom. While some of the other pieces may have also been written by Pound or involved his contributions, this is the only one bearing his initials as a signature and the only one directly listed in Gallup's bibliography. All together there are seven flyer/handbills (plus one duplicate of "Amici Del Tigullio: Nuovo Quartetto Ungherese"), four postcard-style handbills, two programs (single sheets folded to make four pages), two broadsides, and one piece of sheet music: An excerpt from *Ateneo Veneto Anno CXXV, Volume 117, Fasc. 2, Ottobre, 1934: Due Arie Di Francesco Severi* which is either a transcription or interpretation by Gerhart Münch of two arias by Francesco Severi, originally transcribed.

In den Warenkorbwatercolour on paper, a little tattered at the edges, pin holes in corners, the drawing to the verso with some paint dabs for the other work, 32 x 25 cm approx, good condition. Two pieces of artwork by Ezra Pound's wife, the painting a more finished work, though the roofscape has a Vorticist feel by dint of the geometric arrange…ment of its subject - the sheet was presented to poet Michael Alexander in the 1960s, as per his note in the corner of the pencil drawing. Alexander had first visited Pound in 1962, to ask if he would accept the dedication of his translations of 'The Earliest English Poems', and was a regular visitor (in Rapallo and Venice) over the following decade.
