Chappell gained a degree of fame with the publication of this poem in the Daily Express of 22 August 1914. The poem is addressed to the German people, and concerns the supposed toast among German army officers in the lead-up to the First World War, 'Der Tag' (i.e. 'the day' on which the war with England would commence). The poem is printed in portrait alignment on one side of a 14 x 8.5 cm postcard, within red and blue ink borders, giving a 'red white and blue' effect. Beneath the title in square brackets is the following: 'The author of this magnificent poem is Mr. Henry Chappell, a railway porter at Bath. Mr. Chappell is known to his comrades as the "Bath Railway Poet." A poem such as this lifts him to the rank of a national poet.' Printed text on the reverse includes: 'FOR INLAND POSTAGE ONLY' and 'LONDON "DAILY EXPRESS."' In good condition, on lightly-aged card, with minor repairs to one corner on reverse, and a small closed tear to one edge. Thirty-six lines, in six stanzas, with the first reading: 'You boasted the Day, and you toasted the Day, | And now the Day has come. | Blasphemer, braggart and coward all, | Little you reck of the numbing ball, | The blasting shell, or the "white arm's" fall, | As they speed poor humans home.' An attractive piece of First World War ephemera and propaganda. No other copy of this postcard has been traced.…

Zustand: Very good. London, August 15, 1927 / Switzerland, August 16 and September 29, 1927., 1927. Very good. - Substantial signed letters and material in support of a series of American lectures on poets and poetry by the former Archdeacon of Malta and Continental Representative on the General Council of The Poetry Society Franklyn Lushington to be managed by the Pond Lecture Bureau under the auspices of The Poetry Society. The material consists of: 1. A substantial typed letter signed by the founder and director of The Poetry Society Galloway Kyle to "The Manager, The Pond Lecture Agency". In his letter, densely typed on 10 inch high by 7-7/8 inch wide golden yellow "The Poetry Society" stationery dated "15th August, 1927" Galloway Kyle outlines American lectures which Franklyn Lushington has been invited to give under the auspices of The Poetry Society, and seeking the services of James B. Pond's Pond Lecture Bureau as manager. "Linley Gordon, the head of the Committee for the interchange of preachers . who is responsible for this preaching invitation, suggests that instead of our leaving his Poetry Society work to our local members and groups in the United States we should place it in your hands with the hope you can arrange some general engagements for a Lecture Tour at and about the above mentioned towns and dates." Following a list of significant supporters, Kyle extols Lushington's merits "He is an easy, fluent speaker with a very deep and comprehensive acquaintance with the best in poetry of all times and has the further advantage of a freak memory which enables him to reproduce at a moment's notice thousands of lines of Greek, Latin and English Poetry." Signed "Galloway Kyle". 2. A substantial 8-page Autograph Letter Signed by Franklyn Luchington to James B. Pond, dated August 16, 1927 from Chalet Perce Neige Chateau d'Oex, Switzerland. The letter is densely penned on 8 sides of two 6-7/8 inch high by 5-1/4 inch wide folded sheets of light gray paper. "Your name has been given to me by Mr. Linley Gordon. I have been asked by the Director of 'The Poetry Society' to give a series of lectures in USA under the auspices of the Society -And almost simultaneously I have been invited by the Council of the Interchange of Preachers of USA & Great Britain through Mr. Linley Gordon of New York to preach in New York on Dec 11th, Philadelphia on Dec 18th, Washington Dec 25th." After listing his known itinerary, he inquires "Perhaps you will be good enough to advise me whether you will be able to arrange the whole tour for me." He goes on to mention financially successful lectures he has given on Browning, Tennyson and Shelley, among others. Signed "F. deW. Lushington". 3. A typed proposal for lectures by Franklyn Lushington on the light gray 10-1/4 inch high by 8-1/8 inch wide "The Poetry Review" New York chapter stationery. The proposal lists dates for lectures in New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Boston, and Chicago with subjects on "the life and writings of any one of the following poets / Matthew Arnold, Robert Browning, Keats, Rudyard Kipling, Shelley, Tennyson." 4. A 4-page Autograph Letter Signed by Franklyn Lushington penned from Switzerland on four sides of 7 inch high by 5-1/2 inch wide "Perce-Neige Chateau-d'Oex" stationery. Dated September 29, 1927, Lushington has yet to hear back from Pond. "I hope the fact that neither the Director of the Poetry Society nor I have received any reply from you to the letters addressed to you on the 15th & 17th of August respectively means that you have been able to arrange some lectures for me. Otherwise I should be unable to understand your delay in replying." He goes on to elaborate "I will therefore, in these circumstances confidently appeal to you to try even at this last hour to arrange through some of the women's clubs in the 5 cities mentioned above - at least one meeting." Signed "F. deW. Lushington". Folded for mailing, the front edge of the last leaf is darkened with a short tear to the front.…
