No Binding. Condition: Fine. Three scratchboards, two 12'x 15", the other 16" x 12", depicting critical scenes from Jean Genet's classic Querelle. Two are uniform in size and are matted and framed in the style of the oblong one, which wads originally matted and framed by the artist. The life of Sam Steward (1909 - 1983), the subject of Justin Spring's biography "Secret Historian: The Life and Times of Samuel Steward, Professsor; Tattoo Artist and Sexual Renegade "(Farrar Strauss Giroux, 2010), took Steward from a small town Ohio upbringing to personal friendships with Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas, associations with George Platt Lynes, Glenway Wescott and other literati, and a close relationship with sex researcher Alfred Kinsey. Steward's life may well be most provocatively known for his explicit diaries, journals, photography and art that both recorded his sexual life in detail (and which he shared with Kinsey). Starting out as an English professor at DePaul University with literary aspirations and after writing several commercially unsuccessful books, Steward attempted mid-life, in the early 1950s, to seek approval from Jean Genet to publish his own English translation-with his own original illustrations - of Querelle de Brest. When it became clear to Steward that Genet was disinterested, he dropped the project: these three scratchboards the art he he created for it. Steward's pursuit of "serious" literary expression ebbed, and later in the 1960s, under the pseudonym Phil Andros, he authored a series of gay paperback novels (STUD, The Greek Way, etc.), regarded as the most literate of homoerotic fiction, featuring his alter-ego hustler. He turned his artistic energies to tattooing, operating parlors catering to naval and military servicemen, in Chicago, Milwaukee and finally Oakland. And, his sexual activities increasingly involved sadomasochism, in which he had always been interested All three of these drawings were reproduced in "An Obscene Diary: The Visual World of Sam Steward" (Antonius Press/ Elysium Press 2010). During Steward's lifetime the "Lucky Strike" image was published in the Zurich-based Der Kries, an early homophile publication introduced to Steward by Dr. Kinsey and also in the rare anthology of homoerotic art published by Der Kries in 1960 Der Mann in der Zeichnung (under one of Steward's pseudonyms, Philip von Chicago). Spring writes: "Noteworthy among Steward's many illustrations for Der Kries is one that was originally created for Steward's 1951- 1952 English language translation of Querelle de Brest. Working form Polaroid photographs taken of himself in various poses, Steward fashioned three scratchboard illustrations for the story. In the first a man lights a cigarette for a sailor; in the second Querelle strangles the Armenian pederast; in the third Querelle is penetrated by the bartender husband of Madame Lysiane. The illustration of the sailor having his cigarette lit subsequently appeared in Der Kreis under the caption "Lucky Strike." Indeed, Steward etched "LUCKY STRIKE" in the cigarette in the picture on the verso, it is signed "Sam Steward 1951 1952". The strangulation picture has, in Steward's hand, on the verso: "From Genet's Querelle de Brest. Querelle strangles the Armenian". In the picture itself Steward etched his signature and date in the design on the Armenian's shirtcuff: "Sparrow Phil 1951". The picture of Querelle and the bartender in sexual union hung on the wall of Steward's apartment for many years. It is pictured in one of Steward's sex Polaroids reproduced in "Obscene Diary". On the verso of it, Steward wrote "L'Execution De Querelle 9-19-51" Steward did not work in scratchboard alone. His art was quite versatile: murals (in his apartments), tempera, watercolor, pastel, pen/ink and some wire sculpture and collage. These drawings could be regarded as the most important of his visual art. While they were motivated by literary aspiration, they, in effect, represented a real turning point in his lif.…

Museum). Because of his independent income he was able to turn his travels into a living. He had earlier published "Travels through Spain, 1775 and 1776" (1779).(DNB)**Engraver PETER MAZELL (active 1761-1797) was the child of Irish Huguenots who came to work in London by 176, and made many of the copper plate engravings from the Author Swinburne's original watercolors. He was a notable artist himself, and a Fellow of the Society of Artists from 1772, but made his career on interpreting landscapes, travel and natural history subjects for others. He provided engravings for, among others, Capt. James Cooks "Voyages" in the 1780's (see prints in British Museum) **PROVENANCE: GRANVILLE HASTINGS WHELER, (1701-1770) is perhaps best remembered as a clergyman and amateur scientist who, with his friend Stephen Gray, conducted experiments with electricity, in imitation of the work of Benjamin Franklin, at his house, Otterden Place, near Charing, Kent. He was later elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1728, and published his findings on the repulsive power of electricity in "The Philosophical Transactions" of 1729. (DNB). He took after his father, Sir George Wheler (1650-1723) who became canon of Durham Cathedral, in joining the church and writing about his travels. Wheler's father published "A Journey into Greece" in 1682 (ESTC R9388), highlighting relatively yet-unexplored destinations, and the work was translated into French. (DNB) **REF: ESTC T127398.
