Located in Roma, IT
This is a Business Card by Guido Piovene with Autograph notes in black ink. Venice, July 15th 1935. On a cardboard business card (cm 6.2 x 8.5). Excellent condition, perfecly readable, including the original envelope (cm 10.3 x 16.8). It is curious to note that the young journalist , Guido Piovene (Vicenza, 1907 - London, 1974), cancels the title of Count on this business card he sends to the Countess Pecci-Blunt. And Piovene adds heartfelt thanks and greetings by hand. The background: Four year before this correspondence, in 1931 Piovene published his first short stories in The Merry Widow, printed by the Buratti brothers. It took ten years for Piovene to publish his second work, Letters from a novice. But the Italian writer and journalist will be always remembered for his travel reportages: like "Viaggio in Italia" (1957), the most famous literary guide of the Bel Paese...

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...
