Comprising three items as issued : 1) A facsimile sketchbook reproducing colour images from 1968-72, each page blind stamped by the printers Daniel Jacomet.

Cakes and Ale (1930) was Maugham's favourite work; this limited edition was published in honour of his eightieth birthday.Provenance: The Manchester-born poet, journalist and radio producer Douglas Geoffrey Bridson was responsible for over 800 broadcasts in his career at the BBC, 19331969, which culminated in his appointment as Programme Editor for Arts, Sciences, and Documentaries in the mid-1960s, when he was known as 'the cultural boss of the BBC'. Although he was a poet of no small ability himself (his March of the 45 was the first verse drama written for radio, in 1936), it was his tireless and democratic promotion of modern British and American literature on the airwaves that led to correspondence and then friendship with nearly all the major literary figures of his day, but most notably with Wyndham Lewis, T. S. Eliot, Hugh MacDiarmuid, Ezra Pound, and Langston Hughes, many of whose works he brought to a wider audience through his radio productions. He published three of his own collections of poetry, a memoir of his years at the BBC, Prospero and Ariel (1971), and a study of the politics of Wyndham Lewis, The Filibuster (1972); his archive of papers and correspondence is now at the Lilly Library. Language: English.

Autograph letter signed (ÒGÓ) from arist Graham Sutherland to Felix H. Man (ÒDear HansÓ) about sitting for photographs, his new show, the Festival of Britain, and a ÓsystemÓ for winning at roulette. In the original envelope (stamped and postmarked), Trottiscliffe, 20 March 1950. ÒIÕm at your service whenever you like for extra photographs . . . IÕm only so sad that we shanÕt be in France . . . for you to take the extra ones there. The light & general atmosphere is so much more exciting.Ó His show is to be in October, then he has to work on his show for the US. ÒDuring the summer & spring I shall be working on a large painting for the Festival of Britain 1951 & I hope at last to pin down Beaverbrook for sittings for the portrait the Daily Express has commissioned.Ó The second half of the letter is devoted to detailed explanation of his (quite complicated) ÒsystemÓ for winning at the roulette wheel, deployed with Òa good deal of successÓ at Monte Carlo and San Remo. The photojournalist Felix H. Man (n Hans Felix Sigismund Baumann, 1893Ð 1985) took numerous photographs of Graham Vivian Sutherland (1903Ð1980), photographing him up a ladder at the Tate in 1951 working on The Origins of the Land (for the ÒLand of BritainÓ pavilion at the Festival of Britain; now in the Tate), snapping the two of them in the mirror with Winston Churchill at Chartwell in 1954; later they collaborated on Graham Sutherland: das graphische Werk 1922Ð1970 (1970). SutherlandÕs 1952 portrait of Lord Beaverbrook went to the National Portrait Gallery. From the collection of Jonathan Gili; bought from Henry Bristow, July 1985. Later letters from Sutherland to Man are held at Pennsylvania State University.
