Add to basketCondition: Fine. New York, Friday, May 21. . Fine. - Over 120 words penned on both sides of her 4 inch high by 6 inch wide personal embossed card stock. Isabelle Stevenson is sorry she didn't see Jean Dalrymple before she left on her trip "It sounds wonderful - hope it is and was!" She goes on to mention that Jean has "no doubt"… heard about events at the "Wing" and the resignation of a member, "Economics and circumstances dictate we do not at this time replace him - the consensus is 'find a young man or woman willing to work hard' --- The Wing office will be closed from June 1st for 2 weeks." She goes on to say that "I feel 'lonely' not having seen you before you took off." Signed "Isabelle". Fine. Isabelle Stevenson (1913-2003) was president and chairman of the board of the American Theatre Wing which partners with the Tony Awards in promoting and supporting theatre arts. As an actress , Stevenson had her debut in the annual musical extravanza which were "Earl Carroll's Vanities" and toured as a dancer including an appearance at the London Palladium before Queen Elizabeth. She studied journalism at New York University as well as fashion and costume design and supervised publication of books at Greystone Publishing. She co-chaired New York City Board of Education's All-Day Neighborhood Schools and served on the board of directors of The Museum of the City of New York and of the New Dramatists, Inc. The Isabelle Stevenson Award given out during the Tony Awards ceremonies was named in her honor. The recipient, Jean Dalrymple (1902-1998) was the dynamic producer and director of theater and light-opera at Manhattan's City Center. Dalrymple began her career in Vaudeville, appearing with James Cagney and Carey Grant in the early 1930s. She was a founding member of the American Theatre Wing, the theatre service organization. She worked over the years as a personal manager for the likes of Leopold Stokowski, Mary Martin, Jos Iturbi, Andre Kostalanetz, Nathan Milstein, and Lily Pons. She began her work at City Center with its founding in 1943, serving as a board member, producer, and publicist. Her productions there from the 1940s through the 1960s were a revitalizing influence on the whole New York theatre scene. In 1951, Jean Dalrymple married Major-General Philip deWitt Ginder, commander of the Thunderbirds in Korea. She was a friend to Presidents and entertainment personalities throughout the world.

Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. Folio (16 4/8 x 12 inches). Vignette title-page, reproducing 27 maps of the Codex Ebnerianus, a manuscript of Ptolemy's 'Geography' at the New York Public Library, prepared by Donnus Nicolaus Germanus, the Ruysch map of the world from the 1508 printed edition, and Laurent Fries' "new" world map from 1522, other illust…rations in the text. Original publisher's half calf, cloth, gilt. Limited issue, number 157 of 250 numbered copies. Ptolemy's 'Geographia' was a compilation of what was known about the world's geography in the Roman Empire during his time (ca 90-168 ad). He relied on the work of others, in particular an early geographer, Marinos of Tyre, and on gazetteers of the Roman and ancient Persian Empire. He was a Roman citizen of Egypt who wrote in Greek. He was a mathematician, astronomer, geographer, astrologer, and poet (of a single epigram in the Greek Anthology). He lived in Egypt under Roman rule, and is believed to have been born in the town of Ptolemais Hermiou in the Thebaid. He died in Alexandria. The earliest known manuscripts of Ptolomy's "Geographia" date to about 1300. The first printed version was published in 1477, then 1488, and in Ulm in 1482.
