Archive of three title card maquettes hand lettered by Harold Adler for the 1963 film. Also included are two fascinating autograph letters, both elaborately designed and executed in a calligraphic style, from Adler to author, illustrator, and editor Fridolf Johnson relating to Adler's work with Hitchcock. Harold Adler was a calligrapher who created hand lettered titles on over 100 films, worked frequently with Alfred Hitchcock, and was a favorite of legendary title sequence designers Saul Bass and Pablo Ferro. In addition to "The Birds" (1963), his credits include "Comanche!" (1956), "The Man with the Golden Arm" (1955), "The Seven Year Itch" (1955), "Carmen Jones" (1954), "Psycho" (1960), "In the Heat of the Night" (1967), and "Justine" (1969). In 2012, an exhibition of Adler's work was organized by noted typographer and design historian Jill Bell at the American Advertising Federation, Kansas City. In the first letter, dated May 16, 1986, Adler describes, after touching on other topics, meeting Hitchcock and then presenting him with layout ideas for the titles. He then goes into detail regarding his answer to a question about the techniques of artist Eric Gill, stating that Hitchcock "was amazed" by this answer, and after that would "request 'to be sure to bring that nice you[ng] man along" (meaning Adler) whenever he had a job for Adler's firm. The second letter, dated June 10th, 1986, focuses almost exclusively on Adler's work on "The Birds," going into some detail regarding both the creative and technical processes of producing hand lettered titles for films. He also describes Hitchcock as "an unusual person to work with. He was a master at what he did, knew what he wanted [and] smoked the finest cigars." He then concludes the letter with some brief remarks on how his approach to title lettering evolved over the course of his career. The letters themselves are works of art, executed in a variety of inks in Adler's detailed penmanship, with Johnson's name on each in particular receiving full calligraphic treatment. Also included are draft title cards for the film, stylistically similar to each other, but much different from the titles used in the finished film. Two of the cards are marked as "camera ready" in manuscript colored pencil, with titles executed in white paint on black board. The third card, photo stat on black paper, which accompanied the June 10th letter, has been annotated by Adler on both the recto and verso, explaining the in more detail the technical process of putting the lettering on film. Overall, a significant collection of material illuminating a little explored aspect of film design, with a direct and significant connection to a seminal work by a director known for personally overseeing all aspects of production. Each letter 19 x 24 inches, single leaf, rectos only. May 16th letter folded twice for mailing, June 10th letter folded. Two long diagonal creases to the May 16th letter, else both are Fine.

Zustand: Fine. THE HAROLD CLURMAN THEATRE COMMITTEE TRIBUTE INVITATION AND BACKSTAGE BASH ENSEMBLE OF GROUP THEATRE DESCENDANTS MEETING HORIZON PRESS - A RARE ASSOCIATION EPHEMERA ENSEMBLE AN INVITATION INTO THE INNER CIRCLE - AN EVENING AMONG LEGENDS - A highly compelling, multi-part ephemera lot tracking the intimate social and professional networks of mid-century Manhattan's theatrical and literary elite. Sourced directly from the private estate of Horizon Press founder Ben Raeburn, this collection represents a remarkably vivid social-network artifact. The group is anchored by a warm, handwritten autograph invitation from Ellen Adler-daughter of Group Theatre legend Luther Adler and niece of Stella Adler-urging Raeburn's attendance. Rather than a casual, fan-based autograph, Adler's note serves as direct, relational proof of Raeburn's deeply embedded status within this prominent cultural circle, alongside close friends and Horizon authors like Zero Mostel. The accompanying program materials cluster a literal census of mid-twentieth-century American creative genius, capturing an evening orchestrated by Harold Clurman, Elia Kazan, Arthur Miller, Aaron Copland, Walter Matthau, Julie Harris, and Maureen Stapleton. The inclusion of a classic, bold Al Hirschfeld caricature of Clurman further solidifies the artistic cohesion and historical significance of the ensemble. SPECS +++ Publication: New York: The Harold Clurman Theatre Committee. Circa late 1970s. +++ Format: Multi-component ephemera ensemble preserved in archival Mylar sleeves. ARCHIVE CONTENTS +++ Delivered by Hand: Original mailing envelope issued by The Harold Clurman Theatre Committee, 27 West 67th Street, New York City. +++ An Evening's Program: Tribute program and menu printed in striking red ink, featuring a Bus Stop Bar cocktail hour hosted by Kim Stanley, a tent dinner hosted by Aaron Copland, and appearances by Julie Harris, Walter Matthau, Maureen Stapleton, Elia Kazan, Arthur Miller, Robert Whitehead, and Harold Clurman. +++ Saving a Seat: Original Backstage Bash RSVP reservation card. +++ Hirschfeld Captures Clurman: Large printed caricature of Harold Clurman with cigar and cane, signed in the matrix by Al Hirschfeld. +++ An Invitation from Ellen Adler: Ink-signed holograph note on the reverse of the reservation card: "Dear Ben Raeburn-It would give us a great joy to see you with us." Signed, Ellen Adler. +++ Preserved Together: Every component remains exceptionally clean, crisp, and structurally sound, with bright inks and sharp edges. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE: THE SOCIAL NETWORKS OF THE AMERICAN THEATRE . The Art of Staying Connected - Relationships that Shared a Moment: This ensemble offers primary, transactional proof of how mid-century creative alliances were sustained outside of a formal office environment. While Harold Clurman, Arthur Miller, and Elia Kazan are widely documented at an institutional level, this lot reveals the quiet, connective tissue behind the scenes-specifically showcasing how Ben Raeburn's Horizon Press was socially woven into the fabric of Broadway's elite avant-garde. BEN RAEBURN INSIDE THE CIRCLE: MORE THAN A GUEST - Ellen Adler's personal, informal tone indicates an intimate social standing, showing that the publisher was considered a trusted peer within the Group Theatre's extended generational circle. For researchers, it turns a series of isolated historical names into a cohesive, interactive map of post-war Manhattan's intellectual community. EPHEMERA AS EVIDENCE Individually, these pieces are attractive survivors of a significant theatrical event. Preserved together within Raeburn's papers, however, they become something far more important: documentary evidence of the personal relationships that linked independent publishing, Broadway theatre, and American letters during the post-war period.
