Scientists, novelists, historians, heads of state, reformers, explorers, photographers, artists: WOMEN. Hear the voices of abolitionists and slaves, chroniclers
of inner lives and outer manners, a record-breaker, a monster-maker. Here’s a
cherished book inscribed by Russia’s final empress just a year before the mayhem
of the Russian Revolution. And here, a letter from a tragic 16th-century Queen
of Scots, another from a 20th-century “royal” of America’s ruined Camelot. Here
too are voices in and for the wilderness, speakers for the silent, a child born to
silence, and those who through elected silence found eloquence in image and in
dance.
The contents of this catalogue preserve the vital spirit of these and many others
who—through force of will and circumstance, persevering genius, duty to family,
crown or country, thirst for knowledge and adventure, or sheer love of life—
touch us, change us, shape our world. These women.

First edition in English of the first part of Camden’s
important and influential history of Elizabeth I, with

bound.
Originally published in Latin as Annales Rerum
Anglicarum, et Hibernicarum Regnante Elizabetha
in two parts (1615, 1627), this English translation
of the first part is complete in itself. Prepared by
Abraham Darcie from a 1624 edition in French
(STC 4502), it precedes the first appearance of
the second part and spans the first 30 years of
the Queen’s life. In his History of England, Hume
notes that this chronicle “is written with simplicity
of expression, very rare in that age, and with a
regard to truth… it is among the best historical
productions which have yet been composed by
any Englishman.” Later issue of the beautiful,
elaborately engraved title page, with translator’s
name omitted. Without leaf 4F2 and so without
translator’s portrait on that leaf ’s verso (present only
in some copies with early issue title page). Lowndes,

“Monsieur… I Shall Write Tomorrow At Greater
Length, And, Holding You In Great Devotion,
Most Humbly Kiss Your Hands”: Exceptionally
Rare Autograph Letter Signed By Mary Queen Of
Scots, Almost Certainly To Her Brother-In-Law,
Henri III Of France
4. STUART, Mary (Mary, Queen of Scots). Autograph letter
signed, to Henry III, King of France. Sheffield Castle, England,
December 2, 1581. One page, measuring 8 by 12 inches;
handsomely floated and framed with portrait, entire piece
measures 24-1/2 by 21 inches. $44,000.
Exceptionally rare autograph letter signed by Mary Queen of Scots, written while she was held at Sheffield Castle, almost certainly addressed to
her brother-in-law, King Henri III of France.
This letter, written in French to her brother-in-law, Henri III, King
of France, reads (in translation): “Monsieur, I write only this word to
thank you for the good wishes sent me by my ambassador, and I shall
write tomorrow at greater length, and, holding you in great devotion,
most humbly kiss your hands, praying to God that he may keep
you, Monsieur, in the best health through a long life. From Sheffield,
the 2nd December Your most affectionate Marie.” Mary’s reference
in her letter to a more lengthy reply on the following day points to
Henri III as the recipient, as he did indeed receive a lengthy letter
from Mary on December 3rd. In that letter, Mary asked Henri III to
remember her rights and titles in France, which had been confirmed
by her predecessor, Charles IX. At the time of writing this letter,
with Catholic priests being executed on suspicion of plotting against
Elizabeth, one can easily imagine the queen (imprisoned by Elizabeth
I) foreseeing a similar end. (Indeed, Mary’s last letter was sent to
Henri III, written just six hours before her beheading.) In addition,
the language and content of the letter very strongly suggest Henri III
as the recipient, both the simple address of “Monsieur” and the plain
signature “Marie” indicate a social equal as does the affectionate end
greeting. Letter with original folds, light soiling, ink dark, signature
bold and clear.
“Look to your consciences and
remember that the theatre
of the world is wider than the
realm of England.”
—Mary, Queen of Scots.

“The Whole Gospel Of Woman’s Right To Equality Of Rights, Privileges, &
Immunities”: Extraordinary Presentation/Association First Edition Of The
History Of Woman Suffrage, Signed And Inscribed At Length In Three
(Of Four) Volumes By Susan B. Anthony For Fellow Suffragette
Julia L. Langdon Barber
30. STANTON, Elizabeth Cady. ANTHONY, Susan B. GAGE, Matilda Josyln. HARPER, Ida Husted.
History of Woman Suffrage. New York City (Volume I) and Rochester, New York, 1881-1902. Four
volumes. Thick octavo, period-style full navy morocco gilt. $25,000.
First edition of this four-volume work chronicling the long battle for the enfranchisement of women, generously
illustrated, inscribed and signed by Susan B. Anthony in three volumes to her coworker and fellow suffragette
Julia L. Langdon Barber, with the first and final volumes containing rare letter-length inscriptions referencing
a prior agreement to give this work to Barber’s granddaughter and expressing Anthony’s hopes that Langdon’s
granddaughter will use these volumes to learn women’s rights; learn from the accomplishments of her predecessors;
“help bring about far greater changes in the status of women”; and feel proud of her grandmother’s contributions
to the struggle.
“As civilization advances there is a continual change in the standard
of human rights.” So begins this monumental account of “the
unequivocal persistence of women in their long march in obtaining
the vote” (Dorothy Pennington). Illustrated with steel-engravings,
copper-engravings and photogravures. This set does not include
the two posthumous volumes covering events such as the 19th
Amendment—the set is fully readable and is often considered to
be complete without them. Krichmar 1996. This copy is inscribed
at length in three of four volumes to Julia L. Langdon Barber, a
longtime friend of Susan B. Anthony. Volume I reads: “Mrs Julia
L. Langdon Barber Belmont—Washington—D.C. Along with the
Portrait, and the Life & Work—Shall go these three volumes of the
History of Woman Suffrage, and by & by the 4th volume—that

took the part she did in bringing in this New Era for woman—
Affectionately your Coworker Susan B. Anthony 17 Madison Street
Rochester—N.Y. May. 14. 1903.” Barber had little time to achieve
Anthony’s goals for her, as she died suddenly on a train in 1911. Yet
she was remembered for her activism. Barber was a Life Member of
the National American Women Suffrage Association and her devotion
to the cause made her a lifelong friend of Anthony. After the 1902
National American Convention in Washington, Anthony spent a
week at the Barber home. In 1900, the friends collaborated with Mrs.
John Henderson to incorporate the Standing Fund, intended to help
enfranchise women. Anthony, as many know, never married, but
Barber was married to the so-called “Asphalt King,” Amzi L. Barber.
She had, at the time of her death, two granddaughters. This inscription was likely written so that the work could eventually be presented
to the older of the two, Irene Davis. Near-fine.

Lady Constance Lytton, and the author’s imprisonment for taking part in the infamous
June 1909 raid on the House of Commons. Of key interest are sections on the rumored

Without rare dust jacket. This copy is inscribed to Robert Underwood Johnson and
also bears his bookplate. Johnson is best known as the early 20th-century editorial chair
of The Century Magazine, as well as a naturalist, diplomat, and major literary figure.

“Equality In All Rights, Political, Civil, And Social”
35. MILL, Mrs. Stuart [Harriet Taylor]. Enfranchisement of Women. London,
1868. Slim octavo; pp. 22. $2400.
First separate edition, issued posthumously, of Harriet Taylor Mill’s pioneering work “one of
the earliest published arguments in favor of women’s suffrage.”
Enfranchisement of Women “anticipates 20th-century Women’s Liberation in its vision of
women’s progress” (Snodgrass, Encyclopedia, 367). Initially serialized in the Westminster
Review (1851), it was attributed at first to her husband, John Stuart Mill: likely because
he had “given the editor the impression he had written it himself, either to ensure its
publication or else for fear that Harriet should be dubbed a bluestocking” (Pack, Life,
347). “Her most substantial essay, Enfranchisement… claimed for women ‘their admission, in law and in fact, to equality in all rights, political, civil, and social, with the male
citizens’” (ODNB). Faint trace of label removal with small handwritten number above
title page not affecting text.Text fresh and crisp. Some expert restoration to bottom corner of original wrappers, small evidence of tape removal to top edge. An excellent copy,

Second (and preferred) edition of Bradford’s biography of Harriet Tubman, rewritten
at Tubman’s request, in original cloth.
Sarah Hopkins Bradford “met Tubman’s parents in a Sunday school class. When
Tubman and her friends decided to publish Tubman’s life story, Bradford was
a logical choice... But Bradford moved to Germany in 1868—before she had
finished writing the book—leaving her printer, William J. Moses, to compile and
edit Scenes in the Life of Harriet Tubman (1869)... In 1886, Bradford substantially
rewrote the biography at the request of Tubman, who hoped to raise enough
funds for “the building of a hospital for old and disabled colored people” (p.
78). This second edition, Harriet, the Moses of Her People… arrange[d] the
jumbled narrative of Scenes in chronological order, providing a clearer account
of Tubman’s life” (Documenting the American South). Blockson 2981. Work, 476.

Charlotte Brontë’s decision to publish under the
pseudonym “Currer Bell” aroused great public
curiosity regarding the author’s true identity.
Thackeray, Bronte’s literary hero, was sent a
pre-publication copy, prompting this reply: “It is
a fine book… Some of the love passages made me
cry… I have been exceedingly moved & pleased
by Jane Eyre. It is a woman’s writing, but whose?”
(Barker, 535). The demand for Jane Eyre “was
almost unprecedented. The first edition… was
published on 16 October 1847; it had sold out

was a resounding success” (Barker, 535-37). With

Extraordinarily important and rare first American

virtually unobtainable London first edition) of Emily
Brontë’s passionate masterpiece.
“Be with me always—take any form—drive me mad! only
do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you!
Oh, God! it is unutterable! I can not live without my life!
I can not live without my soul!”
“Wuthering Heights stands alone as a monument
of intensity owing nothing to tradition, nothing
to the achievement of earlier writers. It was a
thing apart, passionate, unforgettable, haunting
in its grimness… Brontë has a sure and certain
place for all time” (Britannica). One year after
her only novel’s publication, Emily Bronte was
dead of consumption. The first London edition,
was published December 4, 1847; this edition
was published April 21, 1848, simultaneously as

Union, “Brief Glimpses Into A Vast Land Of Tremendous
And Rapid Change”
84. BOURKE-WHITE, Margaret. Photographs of U.S.S.R. New York, 1934.
Elephant folio, original half cloth portfolio, 24 folio photogravures loose as

Limited first edition of this collection of 24 folio photogravure prints of Bourke-White’s
photographs taken in the Soviet Union, one of 1000 copies produced at the Argus
Press, this copy signed by her.
Margaret Bourke-White’s first photobook, Eyes on Russia, grew out of her first
trip to the Soviet Union, a trip commissioned by Fortune magazine. At the time,
this was “the most extensive photographic account published to that point on the
Soviet Union. With that, Bourke-White’s reputation escalated rapidly; in 1932,
Alfred Stieglitz declared her to be ‘one of the world’s great artists’” (ANB). She
made two more trips, in 1931 and 1932, and the large format photogravures in
this portfolio are from those two trips. The prints have been matted on heavier
cardstock and no longer fit in the original portfolio, which is present. Twenty-two
of the original 24 paper folders that originally contained the prints have been
retained as well. In the same year Argus Press also issued a smaller collection of 12
of these 24 prints under the title Twelve Soviet Photo-Prints. Near-fine.

Lovely Very Large Silver Gelatin Print
Of The U.S. Zeppelin Airship Akron
About To Undertake Its Maiden
Voyage, In Original “Duralumin”
Frame, Signed By Photographer
Margaret Bourke-White
87. BOURKE-WHITE, Margaret. Photograph
Signed: U.S. Airship Akron. No place, 1931. Large
folio (23 by 17-1/2 inches), original silver gelatin
print, original “Duralumin” frame; entire piece
measures 26 by 20 inches. $8800.
Spectacular and very large silver gelatin print of the
U.S. Airship Akron being eased from its hangar on
its maiden launch, signed in the lower right corner
by photographer Margaret Bourke-White, framed in
original bolted “Duralumin,” the same material used
in the girder construction of the Akron by the Goodyear
Zeppelin Corporation.
During the early years of the Depression, Goodyear
was one of Bourke-White’s most important clients.
She made this image of the airship Akron when it
was removed from its hangar for the first time. The
Akron was a helium-filled airship of the U.S. Navy
which operated between September 1931 and April
1933. She was the world’s first flying aircraft carrier.
The April 4, 1933 crash of the Akron into the sea
during heavy weather, which resulted in the loss of
73 crew and passengers (only three men survived)—
the largest loss of life in any airship crash—spelled
the end of the rigid airship program in the U.S.
Navy. The engraved inscription on the original frame
reads: “Winner/ C. Poley/ Third Annual Goodyear
Dealers Zeppelin Race July-August 1931. A few small
smudges and discolorations to print, particularly
along lower edge, just touching signature but not
affecting overall appearance of image; original frame
fine. Handsome.

image of a pensive Kollwitz captured by Jacobi the same day in 1931 as
her more common portrait of the artist facing the camera, with Jacobi’s
trademark penciled signature at the corner of this 10 by 13-inch print.
Not long after this portrait was taken, Jacobi fled Germany and was
“forced to leave behind more than 90 percent of her archives, all of
which the Nazis destroyed” (New York Times). Print date circa 1970.

“What Ghastly Happenings—I Can’t Seem To Take It In—
About Bobby Kennedy”: Amazing Katharine Hepburn
Autograph Letter Mentioning Bobby Kennedy’s Assassination,
The Vietnam War, And Spencer Tracy’s Wife
111. HEPBURN, Katharine. Autograph letter signed. [Paris, France], June 17,
1968. Two sheets of “Katharine Houghton Hepburn” letterhead stationery, 8-1/4

Revealing Katharine Hepburn autograph letter, completely in her hand, to her friend Meta
Stern, mentioning Bobby Kennedy’s assassination, the Vietnam War and her own personal loss
in it, and Spencer Tracy’s wife, signed with her initial “K.”

blockbuster films, including the 1936 release Mary of Scotland, starring Katharine
Hepburn. Although Hepburn and Spencer Tracy were well known as both a professional
and romantic couple, Tracy never divorced his wife because of their Catholic faith; after
his death in 1967 (a year before this letter), Hepburn famously was not present at his
funeral. Fine.
