Condition: Good. Folio. 27 x 39.3 cm. and 14 x 17cm. .Programme and entry card. .Royal Guests and the British Aristocracy joined the Queen and members of the Royal Family for a splendid Coronation Gala Performance of 'Gloriana' at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden on this day in 1953.The artist Oliver Messel, was born into a wealthy family; he travelled extensively and was exposed to art and culture from a young age. A privileged youth, his name is often mentioned amongst the 'Bright Young Things', for whom costume parties at country houses and jaunts to Europe on a whim became a thing of fable. This informal group included people such as Cecil Beaton (a life-long friend whom Oliver first met at Eton), Lord Berners, Noel Coward, John Betjeman, Harold Acton, Nancy Mitford, Edith Sitwell, Stephen Tennant, Rex Whistler and Evelyn Waugh, who famously satirised their exploits in the 1930s novel Vile Bodies. Having witnessed WW1, the 20s and 30s were a time of new freedom for these wealthy, artistic group of high society friends and acquaintances, who knew only too well how short life could be.The personal copy of Begum Ra'ana Liaquat Ali Khan (1905-1990), who was a Pakistani diplomat and the country's first female governor.She was born Sheila Irene Pant on 13 February 1905 in Almora, British India (today's India), to a Brahmin family who had converted to Christianity two generations prior.The personal copy of Begum Ra'ana Liaquat Ali Khan (1905-1990), who was a Pakistani diplomat and the country's first female governor.Academically brilliant, she graduated from the University of Lucknow in 1927 with bachelor's degrees in economics and theology. She obtained a double master's degree in economics and sociology in 1929. In 1931, she became professor of economics at Indraprastha College in Delhi, where she met her future husband, lawyer Liaquat Ali Khan, when he visited to deliver a lecture on law.The couple married in 1932, despite her family's objection. The bride converted to Islam and took the name Begum Ra'ana. She became involved with the Muslim League, devoting herself to creating political consciousness among the Muslim women in British India.After the Partition in 1947, Liaquat Ali Khan became Pakistan's first prime minister. As the first First Lady of Pakistan, Begum Ra'ana founded or helped establish organisations that uplifted women's rights and women's public role, such as the Pakistan Women's National Guard (PWNG), the Women's Naval Reserves and All Pakistan Women's Association (APWA).…

See the two men's entries in the Oxford DNB. The material is in good condition, lightly aged, except that the envelopes of the first two items are somewhat worn and grubby. ONE: TLS to Douglas C. Dorrington. 1p, 12mo. The address to 'Dear Mr. Dorrington' and signature 'Peter Pears' are in autograph; the rest is typed. Written while Britten is dying. Reads: 'Benjamin Britten wishes me to thank you for your kind message. He hopes you will understand that it is not possible for him to answer you himself.' In envelope with Saxmundham postmark dated 22 November 1976, addressed in Pears's autograph to 'Douglas C Dorrington Esq / 9 Chatsworth Rd / Croydon / Surrey'. The envelope is annotated in another hand: 'B. B. died 4/12/76'. TWO: TLS to 'Ray Seaton'. 1p, 12mo. No more than a note really. Written after Britten's death. Reads as follows, with typed section in square brackets and the rest in autograph: 'Dear Ray Seaton / [Thank you very much indeed for your most kind message.] which I much appreciated / Sincerely / Peter Pears'. No place or date, but in envelope with Saxmundham postmark dated 15 December 1976 and typed address to 'Mr. R. P. Seaton, / 28 Hollybush Street, / PLAISTOW, / LONDON E.13.' THREE: Printed programme. Headed: 'The Stone Gallery, The Vyne, nr. Basingstoke / (by kind permission of The National Trust and The Hon. Antony Lyttelton) / Peter Pears / Benjamin Britten / A Concert in aid of the Sandham Memorial Chapel, Burghclere'. Dated on cover 'Sunday, April 20, 1958, at 3.0 p.m.' 4pp, 8vo. Bifolium. Cover in grey with some red lettering. Illustration on cover of 'The Resurrection (Sandham Memorial Chapel) by Stanley Spencer'. The reverse of the first leaf carries the programme, the recto of the second a paragraph about the chapel itself, the reverse of the second leaf the names of the 'patrons of the concert', committee and management. Loosely inserted is a stapled pamphlet (8pp, 12mo), with drophead heading 'Peter Pears / Benjamin Britten / Text of the Songs'. Entirely composed of texts of 22 songs, some in German and French, with the last four 'arr. BENJAMIN BRITTEN'. Also present is an envelope (only), with stamps and Saxmundham postmark of 20 July 1976, addressed to 'GEORGE BEHREND / FLIQUET, / JERSEY, / CHANNEL ISLES.' Not in Pears's elegant hand, and with a distinctive capital 'Q' (dead vertical downstroke). Whether written out by Britten or not is unclear, but annotated in another hand 'Last letter of any sort from Ben on becoming Lord Britten.' I stress that there is no letter surviving. See Image. Could the annotation be by a grief-stricken Peter Pears. …
