Gaston DOUMERGUE. 1863-1937. Homme politique, président de la République. L.A.S. à Louis Barthou. Paris, 11 août 1934. 4 pp. in-8, en-tête en coin de la Présidence du Conseil. Très belle lettre politique de Doumergue quelques mois avant l’attentat du 9 octobre : (…) La situation intérieure est en ce moment, comme tu me l’écris, tout à fait calme. Ce calme durera-t-il ou bien est-il le précurseur de prochains orages ? C’est le secret de demain, mais j’estime qu’il faut être plus attentif et plus vigilant que jamais. Il me semble que certains battent les cartes et préparent leur jeu. N’éparpillons pas nos atouts. Nous en avons. Nous en aurions beaucoup plus si tout était vraiment calme chez nous, si les querelles des partis étaient vraiment apaisées, si les mentalités étaient changées, s’il y avait dans la Chambre, une majorité réellement unie, cohérente, disciplinée et clairvoyante, donnant pleine sécurité de durée au gouvernement (…). Etant donné la situation actuelle de l’Europe et du monde, si la France avait un gouvernement assurer de durer, sans obligation par conséquent, d’avoir à défendre chaque jour ou chaque semaine son existence, c’est la France qui pourrait diriger la politique européenne et même mondiale (…).

1501 [HROSWITHA of GANDERSHEIM] Opera Hrosvite illustris virginis et monialis Germane gente Saxonica orte nuper a Conrado Celte inventa. Norunbergæ: Sub privilegio sodalitis Celticæ, 1501. Small folio. 82 leaves, without pagination. Hrotsvitha (c. 935-1002), also known as Hroswitha, Hrotsvit, Hrosvit, and Roswitha, was a 10th-century German secular canoness, as well as a dramatist and poet who lived and worked in Abbey of Gandersheim, in modern-day Lower Saxony, a community of secular canonesses. She was noted for her great learning and was introduced to Roman Writers by Gerberg. Hrotsvit's work shows familiarity, not only with the Church fathers, but also with Classical poetry, including Virgil, Horace, Ovid, Plautus and Terence (on whom her own verse was modelled). Several of her plays draw on the so-called apocryphal gospels. Her works form part of the Ottonian Renaissance. The Benedictine Rule was relaxed for her and other aristocratic women who joined the order; they were not required to take the vow of poverty. Two Abbesses in her time were nieces of the ruling Emperor with the status of Imperial Princes. The frontispiece of the book, a Durer engraving, shows Hroswitha presenting her manuscript to the Emperor Otto I. The book was edited and seen through the press by the Imperial Poet Laureate, Conrad Celtes, who in 1493 had discovered a copy, still extanct, of the Mss in the Benedictine Monastery of St. Emmeram in Regensburg. Hrosvit divided her work herself into three books. The Book of Legends contained eight legends - with the exception of Gangolf - in dactylic hexameter - the writing style that is most prominent in poetry and can be found in Homer's Iliad and Odyssey. Her plays feature the chastity and perseverance of Christian women and contrast these to the perceived Latin portrayal of women as weak and emotional. Her Passio Sancti Pelagii is derived, she says, from an eyewitness to the martyrdom of Pelagius of Cordova. Her name, as she herself attests, is Saxon for "strong voice." Hroswitha wrote in Latin, and is considered by some to be the first person since antiquity to compose drama in the Latin West Provenance: The estate of Tony Sweeney

"GEORGE KOLBE(German 1877-1947)Female Nude Pen and inkSigned lower rightImage size 14 inches x 17 inches (35.6 x 43.2 cm), unframedProvenance:Acquired by Dr. Frank Seiberling Jr., circa 1937, from Dr. Hans Tietze according to the family, thence by descent through the family to present owner, the daughter of Dr. Frank Seiberling Jr.Dr. Hans Tietze (1880-1954) was a prominent Austrian art historian who studied at the University of Vienna under Franz Wickhoff and Alois Reigl. Dr. Tietz published numerous scholarly texts on Venetian and Viennese art history as well as on the graphic work of Albrecht Durer. Dr. Tietze`s art history career is vast and includes work as a negotiator for war reparations of Austrian art following World War I as well as positions such as Assistant Professor of Art History at the University of Vienna, member of the Association for the Promotion of Modern Art in Vienna, Visiting Professor at the Toledo Museum of Art and Lecturer at Columbia University. Tietz`s engagement with art fostered friendships with significant modern artists such as Oskar Kokoschka and Georg Ehrlich who created portraits of him and his wife, art historian Erica Conrat, now housed in the Museum of Modern Art, New York and the Austrian Gallery Belvedere in Vienna, Austria. Art Historian Dr. Frank Seiberling Jr. (1908-1990) served as Supervisor of Education at the Toledo Museum of Art (presumably where he came in contact with Dr. Tietze). He later worked as Professor of Art History and Head of the School of Art at Ohio State University. In 1959, he became the Head of the Department of Art and Art History at the University of Iowa."
