FROM L. FRANK BAUM

76.BAUM,L.FRANK. SIGNED LETTER TO JOHN R. NEILL. Offered
here is an incredible Oz related letter from Baum to Neill. Typed on Oz Film
Manufacturing stationary (L. Frank Baum President) with Neill illustration in the
upper corner, the text fills an entire 8/12 x 11 sheet of paper, signed in ink by
Baum. The letter begins: “Dear Johnny Neill: Sharpen your pencil, sip an absinthe
frappe and try to imagine this character in “The Scarecrow of Oz.” It is an Ork,
quite a prominent actor in the story, and I quote this introduction from the text:
[followed by 28 lines of text]... You will observe the Ork is not a water creature,
although it first appeared in a cavern, where it had escaped from the clutches
of a whirlpool, as had Trot and Cap’n Bill. During the story it flies thru the air
with Trot upon its back. There is also the “Bumpy Man” in the story: a fellow
with little bumps all over him.... The principal character [sic] are Trot, Cap’n
Bill, Dorothy, Ozma, Glinda, Wizard, Ork, Bumpy Man, Scarecrow, Button Bright,
King Krawl, of Jinxland; Princess Gloria, his niece; Googly Gee, a wealthy old
courtier; Pen, a gardener’s boy; a Wicked Witch named Blinkie. Warm regards;
congratulations; affection; admiration--to our Johnny from [signed] L. Frank
Baum. Letters such as this with the combination of Oz text and the incredible
association between author and artist, rarely appear on the market.

FABULOUS OZ LETTER

by Baum dated July 15, 1917, written to John R. Neill on the event of receiving
Neill’s artwork for the Lost Princess of Oz. The stationary has a wide pictorial
border featuring the covers of Baum’s books. The text reads: “Dear Johnny
Neill: I’m just in receipt of “The Lost Princess of Oz” and want to express to you
my full appreciation of the good work you have done on this book. The pictures
are exceptionally clever and attractive and, allowing for the fact that you made
two peaches grow on a tree where there was only one, you have given the text
full consideration. I’m sorry not to have met you personally for so many recent
years, as I remember our former foregatherings with real pleasure and think we
would harmonize if we were jailed together in the same cell. Why not come out
to California and see me? With sincere regards [signed] L. Frank Baum.” Baum
association letters with Oz content are exceedingly rare. $27,500.00

Taylor explains in her book Beatrix Potter (p. 167-8) that Potter did a series of
watercolors to raise money to ‘raise a fund to save a strip of foreshore woodland
and meadow, near Windermere Ferry, from imminent risk of disfigurement by
extensive building and town extension.’ Taylor adds that “Many of these pictures
were sold in America...and within a year enough money had been raised.” She
quotes Potter: ‘It was a great satisfaction to me to have been able to help the
fund through the kindness of my friends in America... Whenever I cross the ferry
and look at the pleasant green banks I will think of the good friends across a wider
stretch of water.’ This is undoubtedly one of these watercolors done by Potter
specially to be sold to help this fund, a few of which are in the V&A collection. It is
a charming piece of original Potter artwork featuring Peter Rabbit. $22,500.00

8vo, 560p., full green leather with elaborate gilt design on covers and gilt
panels on spine. One margin mend else fine. 2 volumes in 1. Illustrated with
designs by Billings engraved by Baker, Smith and Andrew. THIS SPECIAL
COPY IS EMBELLISHED WITH 100 VERY FINE WATERCOLORS signed
by what appears to be Eugene Bauer (last name is difficult to decipher).
What the artist has done is to decorate the pages with characters or
objects discussed on that page. The watercolors are superimposed upon
the text in such a way that the text is still legible. They are executed in
exquisite detail. Uncle Tom’s Cabin was first introduced to the public in
serial format but before the serialization was complete, it was published
in book form in 1852 by Jewett in 2 volumes. Billings illustrated the first
edition with only 6 engraved plates. He was commissioned by the publisher
to re-illustrate this edition which includes 117 new pictures: 45 chapter
heads, 45 tailpieces, 27 illustrations in text plus decorative initials. Stowe
was inspired to write Uncle Tom’s Cabin by the passage of the Fugitive
Slave Law in 1850 and it was an immediate sensation. This is a remarkable
copy. $12,500.00
