About the Item

This is a Autograph Letter Signed by Alberto Gerardi to the Countess Pecci-Blunt. Rome, December 9th (1939-40). One page, single-sinded. In Italian. Excellent condition, including original envelope. Perfectly readable, thanks to an elegant calligraphy. The Italian artist writes this letter to his mentor and patron of arts, the Countess Anna Laetitia Pecci-Blunt, to inform her he was sending her two artworks she was interested in (a drawing representing a study of hands and a little wax model called Santa Teresa del Bambino Gesù, from which he derived the statue for the same-named church in Anzio). Alberto Gerardi (Rome, 1889-1965) Multihedral artist, painter, sculptor, ceramist, chiseller, Alberto Gerardi is remembered still today for the precious jewels he beaten and chiseled. Countess Anna Laetitia Pecci-Blunt (Rome, 1885 - Marlia, 1971). The Italian noblewoman was an art collector, patron and nephew of Pope Leo XIII. Extremely volcanic, she was very active in the cultural field, opening numerous lounges, galleries and theaters. In 1919 she married Cecil Blumenthal, later changed to Blunt, a wealthy Jewish banker from New York, heir to an important collection of nineteenth-century French painting. His Parisian and Roman salons was frequented by artists and intellectuals of the caliber of Salvador Dalì, Paul Valery, Poulenc, Paul Claudel, and Aldo Palazzeschi!

Two Typed Letters Signed (TLS) by T. S. Eliot

Two Typed Letters Signed (TLS) by T. S. Eliot

Located in Middletown, NY

Two one-page letters on Faber & Faber stationery, SIGNED by T. S. Eliot. The first, dated 1 December 1949 is double sided, 10 1/4 x 8 inches (266 x 204 mm) in envelope 4 1/4 x 5 1/4 inches (110 x 133 mm). The second is dated 23 August 1950, one sided, 8 x 6 7.8 inches (204 x 174 mm) in envelope 4 1/4 x 5 1/4 inches (110 x 133 mm). Typed in black and red ink, central vertical and horizontal folds, with no sign of wear. The accompanying envelopes show minor signs of wear and the back flap of the first envelope is partially torn. Fine. These two typewritten letters were addressed to Robert Cecil Bald (1901 – 1965), an Australian scholar of English Literature, who taught at Cornell University starting in 1937 and then at the University of Chicago from 1952 to 1965. They attest to a cordial exchange between a poet and a scholar, and the rich network of contacts that Eliot had both as an author and as the long-time editorial director at Faber & Faber in London (1925-1965). In the first letter, dated 1 December 1949 with a Cornell University address, Eliot declines an offer...
