Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Florence K. Upton (illustrator). Manuscript. Ivor Novello (1893 - 1951). An important and exquisite 130 page autographed Devotional Scrapbook, 10 x 15cms. The book covers the dates March 5th 1951 (his death) to March 6th 1968, the seventeenth anniversary of his death. The scrapbook is not a blank leaved album, but a copy of the 1945 First Edition of Patricia Wentworth's poems "Beneath the Hunter's Moon". Many of these poems are love poems and many of the memorial notices have been carefully arranged to juxtapose particular verses giving declarations of love.The contents are as follows: 1. Thirty-one photo clippings of Novello, cut from various newspapers and magazines. 2. Five signatures "Ivor Novello" (two can be seen in the central images attached). 3. One signature "Olive Gilbert" (far right). Another undecipherable ( far left), possibly "Graham ******". 4. Eighty off Memorial Clippings, arranged sequentially by date and Anniversary Year. 5. One Birthday Anniversary notice. The Memorial Clippings span from the 6th March 1952, seven off for the First Anniversary, and just one off for the Seventeenth and last Anniversary (6th March 1968). There are two unsigned Obituaries pasted in. The first six column inches. The second five column inches. The only clue to the obituary writer is the phrase "I began to write about him in 1947". Of the three Novello biographies (published in 1951, 1986 & 2006), the 1951 one, by Peter Noble, comes closest. There is a four column inch clipping (undated but 1973) of the unveiling, by Sybil Thorndyke, of a Commemorative Plaque in St Paul's Church Covent Garden. On Page 70, a two column inch review of the "Salute to Ivor Novello", held at The Coliseum on Oct 7th 1951. Thirty-eight of the eighty annual Memorial tributes are signed as follows: "L". 15 off., "P.F" 6 off., "R" 6 off., "D" 5 off., "V" 3 off., "H.M." 3 off. The rest make only single or double appearances. On pp 112 and 113 here are two memorial references: "In memory of Rudi and Dancing Years" (could this be Nureyev.?).
