First edition of Keller's autobiography. Octavo, original cloth, illustrated with plates from photographs. Signed by the author in pencil on the front free endpaper, "Helen Keller," beneath her name embossed in braille. In very good condition with light toning throughout the textblock, lacking front free endpaper. Foreword by Nella Braddy. Helen Keller was an author, political activist, and lecturer. She was the first deaf-blind person to earn a bachelor of arts degree. The story of how Keller's teacher, Anne Sullivan, broke through the isolation imposed by a near complete lack of language, allowing the girl to blossom as she learned to communicate, has become widely known through the dramatic depictions of the play and film The Miracle Worker. Her birthplace in West Tuscumbia, Alabama, is now a museum[1] and sponsors an annual "Helen Keller Day". Her birthday on June 27 is commemorated as Helen Keller Day in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania and was authorized at the federal level by presidential proclamation by President Jimmy Carter in 1980, the 100th anniversary of her birth.

First edition of this small book of wisdom by Helen Keller. Octavo, original cloth. Presentation copy, warmly inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "To Mrs Warren Monk, whose sweet faith is a bond between us. Affectionately, Helen Keller, July 24th, 1940." In near fine condition. Uncommon signed and inscribed. Helen Keller became a well-traveled lecturer, activist, and prolific writer despite the rare illness she contracted at 19 months of age which left her both blind and deaf. Much of Keller's success was attributed to the 49-year relationship she had with governess and companion Anne Sullivan who initially taught Keller to communicate by spelling words into her hand. In 1904, at the age of 24, Keller graduated from Radcliffe College of Harvard University, becoming the first deaf-blind person to earn a bachelor of arts degree. She went on to become a world-famous speaker and author, best remembered for her work as an advocate for persons with disabilities, the deaf community, and women's suffrage.

INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author in pencil, as customary, on the front free endpaper "To Mr. Samuel Mather/Lest he forget me/with every good wish/From Helen Keller/December." Samuel Mather was an American industrialist and philanthropist from Cleveland who co-founded Pickands Mather and Company, a shipping and iron mining company which dominated these two Great Lakes industries from 1900 to 1960. His grandfather, Samuel Mather, Jr. (1745-1809), was one of the original founders and shareholders in the Connecticut Land Company, which bought the Connecticut Western Reserve (which constituted what later became northern Ohio) in 1792. Other ancestors include Cotton Mather and Increase Mather. Inscribee's tasteful bookplate on the front pastedown; slight darkening to the spine with light fraying to the tips.

When she heard about his birth, Keller and "Teacher" (Anne Sullivan) were in Boston in school, and she sent back word to her family in Dallas that she wanted her brother named after her good, and as it turned out, lifelong friend, Bishop Phillips Brooks, the rector of Christs Church in Boston and the author of the Christmas song "O Little Town of Bethlehem."

Engraving. Early 3-3/4" x 5-3/4" engraving from a photograph on a 7" x 10" sheet tipped to a slightly larger sheet of Helen Keller's famous teacher, subject of the play and movie THE MIRACLE WORKER, SIGNED in ink below the image: "Anne Mansfield Sullivan." At the age of 7, nearly blind from an illness two years before and recently having suffered the loss of her mother, Sullivan was abandoned by her father in an orphanage with no formal educational facilities. Through her own will she managed to be placed in the Perkins Institute for the Blind from which she graduated as class valedictorian after regaining much of her eyesight from a series of operations. She began teaching Helen Keller when the deaf and blind child was seven and, by all accounts, quite undisciplined. Sullivan attended classes with Keller and tutored her through the Perkins Institute, The Cambridge School for Young Ladies, and Radcliffe College, all along achieving a measure of success with her unusual student previously unheard of. After Keller's formal education, Anne Sullivan continued to assist her by accompanying Keller on her travels and on various lecture tours. Sullivan married a young Harvard instructor, John Albert Macy, in 1905, and started going by the name Anne Sullivan Macy, thus dating this engraving before that date. The three lived together until 1912 when the Macys separated. After Keller's death in 1968, her ashes were placed next to her beloved companions, Anne Sullivan and Polly Thomson, in the St. Joseph's Chapel of Washington Cathedral. Old dampstaining and soiling to bottom blank margin with only a very slight effect on the signature. Easily Very Good or better.

Letter. A lovely one-page letter on a sheet of 8-1/2" x 11" paper addressed to a friend named Villa and SIGNED in pencil by Keller. In full: "Teacher [Anne Sullivan] is right in the midst of pies, and she wants me to thank you for her for your gift. Dear me, at the rate that she keeps making pies, I don't believe she will find time to set up as a druggist. I have forwarded the dainty handkerchief you sent for mother. I am sure it will please her. At Christmas-time we took Teacher off to the Green Mountains, so that she could get a respite from household cares. We spent some of our extra energy coasting and walking in snow up to our knees and sleighing and marvelling at the beauty of the hills. The change refreshed us all greatly. They told me that I came back every day with 'nice chipmunk cheeks.' If you at any time want a good rest and a comfortable place to be lazy in, just run up to WoodstockInn [sic]. While we were there, they had a pretty Christmas-tree for the guests. It was lighted up with tiny electric lamps. Each guest got a gift selected expressly to make him or her laugh. With love from us all and wishes for a happy New Year, I am, Your friend, Helen Keller." Anne Sullivan ("Teacher" and subject of the play and movie THE MIRACLE WORKER) and Helen bought a farm and seven acres of land in Wrentham, Massachusetts, in 1904 and lived there until 1917, some of the happiest years of Keller's life. That joy comes through in this letter. Creases from mailing; light soiling. Very Good.

Letter. A charming two-page letter on two sheets of The Lincoln hotel stationery (5-1/2" x 9-1/4") addressed to "Bebe" and SIGNED in pencil by Keller. In part: "The other day, when we were walking along the main street of Lincoln, Nebraska, on our way to the big red brick hotel, I nearly fell over this Dachshund, which was trotting out of an alley between two shops. Of course I begged the wee fellow's pardon, and he wagged his tail in such a friendly way, I knew it was all right." The owner, a young man, then appeared and said the dog was homeless. "Of course I thought of you, Bebe . 'the dearest little girl in the world who will be good to Bevs' . I think, though, Nebs is a good name, as he comes from Nebraska. From all I could learn from the nice young man, Nebs is very well behaved. But you know one can't believe every word one hears from strangers on the street. I thought I'd take a chance and buy Nebs for you. It is always good-natured to believe the best of men and dogs until they have proved themselves untrustworthy." We are not sure who the little girl, Bebe, is, and oddly enough, Keller had a dog with the same name as the girl. Keller never used any of her dogs as service dogs, but in an interview that came later in life, Keller said, "Nobody, who is not blind, as much as they may love their pet, can know what a dog's love really means. Dogs have travelled all over the world with me. They have always been my companions. A dog has never failed me." Paper rather fragile and a little darkened but overall Very Good.

Unbound. Zustand: Near Fine. Quarto sheets. Measuring 8.5" x 8". Two pages in pencil on laid paper with watermark of a crane and "Japanese Linen 1886," written on two sheets, rectos only. Old creases from prior folding, some wear and discoloration, but near fine. An astonishingly sophisticated letter by the 7-year old Helen Keller to her cousin Anna Keller Turner and her husband George, describing a train trip to Huntsville, Alabama, that she took with her teacher, Annie Sullivan. Keller began studying with Sullivan in March of 1887. This letter, written only months later, demonstrates Keller's remarkable progress in learning to communicate, and it is one of the earliest known Keller letters. Michael Anagnos, the director of the Perkins Institute for the Blind, describes Keller's gains after beginning her studies with Annie Sullivan: "In the course of four months Helen mastered more than four hundred and fifty common words -- nouns, verbs transitive and intransitive, adjectives and prepositions which she could use correctly and spell with perfect accuracy. At the same time she learned to read raised characters with the tips of her fingers almost spontaneously and with very little effort on the part of her instructress, to converse freely by means of the manual alphabet, to cipher, to write a neat 'square hand,' and to express her elementary ideas in correct composition" (Anagnos, "Helen Keller. A Second Laura Bridgman," in Fifty-Sixth Annual Report of The Perkins Institution And Massachusetts School For The Blind, 1888). Anagnos describes a letter written by Keller to her mother on 12 July 1887 during a trip to Hunstville and then briefly mentions the present letter: "On her return to Tuscumbia from her visit to Huntsville, Helen wrote a long letter to her cousin George, giving him a minute account of everything that occurred on her way home. She speaks of her meeting in the steam-cars a kind lady, who gave her a drink of water but who 'did talk wrong on fingers.'" The letter reads in its entirety: "helen will write letter to cousin george[.] helen and teacher did go to huntsville[.] steam car does go fast george[.] did give helen soda water[.] anna did buy helen pretty new hat[.] helen did play with pinky horse does like sugar[.] mr. rea did kiss helen[.] carlotta will come to see helen in tuscumbia[.] corinne and may and louise did come to see helen[.] robert did shoot little bird wrong[.] helen and teacher did come home. lady did talk wrong on fingers. conductor did take ticket and punch. teacher did buy orange and helen did put orange in bag for mother[.] leila has little new baby[.] new baby is bessie[.] bessie is eva sister[.] mildred is helen sister[.] helen is sick[.] doctor will give medicine to make well[.] helen does love george and anna[.] helen will kiss george and anna[.] good-by[,] helen keller[.]" The letter is accompanied by a Cabinet Card Photo of Keller, by Collins of Huntsville, Alabama; as well as 20 additional 19th Century cabinet cards of other close Keller family members, including three images of Anna Turner, the recipient of this letter. In addition there are six more 19th Century photographs (all but one are cabinet cards) of more distant Keller family relations, all photographs identified on the backs in a later hand. Keller's autobiography (*The Story of My Life,* 1903) contains a section on her letters. A short note to her cousin Anna is listed as her earliest letter (June 17, 1887) followed by a longer letter to her mother on July 12, 1887. The chronology then skips to September 1887 when Keller writes an encouraging letter to the blind girls at the Perkins Institution. An August 21, 1887 letter by Annie Sullivan mentions a "beautiful time in Huntsville" which would place the present letter sometime in mid-July making it perhaps the third earliest known Keller letter. The handwriting and grammatical constructions, especially the use of "did" in past tense constructions and the omission of articles, is consistent with Keller's early letter-writing style. One of the earliest known letters by Helen Keller, written just months after beginning her studies with Annie Sullivan, with additional family photographs. A remarkable artifact, and possibly the earliest Keller letter not held in an institution.

Letter. Fine three-page letter on Hotel Tulsa stationery, 6" x 9-1/4", of @600 words to a Miss Hortop SIGNED in pencil by Keller. In part: "The lovely verse you sent brought a glow to my heart. But I did not need it to know that your dear thoughts have hovered about me on my journeyings. The darling flowers you have sent me from city to city have whispered how sweetly you were thinking of us all. How did you ever find time to gather, and wrap them up so snugly from the cold, that they might gladden me! And your messages too -- they have come like a response to my mood. At this moment I feel the sweet discontent awakened by the spring sunshine, and I long to escape from the endless restraints and complex life of the city. In this mood I read your verse about how happy we can be anywhere if we can only touch a flower or enjoy the leafy music of a tree. The words you wrote last Christmas have come back to me cheeringly amid the difficulties of our work, 'Nothing can take from you a beautiful day, or a splendid hour you have enjoyed.'" Keller speaks of her teacher's illness and how Polly [Thomson] took her place with Keller on stage. She then discusses the cities on the rest of her tour and wishes Miss Hortop could join them: "It is restful to be in presence of one whose life mirrors the beauty of mountains and the joy of high thoughts. Men and women like you are living epistles in which is written the sure prophecy of a brighter, happier future for mankind." Creases from mailing, minor splitting along folds and light foxing and corner paper loss on the last page; two lines on the last page faint and written over in pencil, likely by Polly Thomson. Overall Very Good.

She mentions her two great companions, Anne Sullivan Macy and Polly Thomson?The letter also shows Keller?s intellectual acumenSamuel Pepys was the author of Britain?s most celebrated diary, kept from 1660-1669. Pepys as an exceptionally skilled recorder of the political events of his time, and also everyday life. His record of contemporary events has become an important source for historians seeking an understanding of life in London during the mid-seventeenth century. Pepys kept the diary as a virtually daily record that was to stretch to more than a million words, with a quality that entertains and inspires people in the current day, nearly three and a half centuries after it was written. By the 1930s there was a braille version for use of the blind. Miss Prince, the librarian of The National Institute for the Blind, sent Keller a copy and she was quite smitten with it.Anne Sullivan Macy was an teacher best known for being the instructor and lifelong companion of Helen Keller. Polly Thomson was Keller?s companion for more than half a century. These were the key people in Keller?s life, and they are mentioned in this letter.Keller wrote Prince to thank her, giving her assessment of the diary and her mixed feelings about Pepys. Typed letter signed, South Arcan, Scotland, December 5, 1932, to ?Dear Miss Prince? ?Your note was a cheery good-morning up here in the Scottish hills. Thank you so much for sending me ?Pepys's Diary.? I am enjoying it immensely. Pepys does not appeal to me in the least - he is as full of faults and meannesses as a porcupine is of quills, but I admire the catholicity [breadth and universality] of his mind that keeps record equally of the small and the great. We are going to Glasgow tomorrow, and shall be there about ten days. Will you kindly have two volumes of the ?Diary? sent to me at the Central Hotel, Glasgow??It is very good of you to take so much trouble to keep me in reading. The kindness of my friends wherever I go fills me with gratitude and humility. Mrs. Macy end Miss Thomson send their greetings with mine."The recipient has noted, "Pepys sent Dec. 11 to Glasgow."Hearing Keller praise her friends for their efforts in supplying her with books is a moving tribute to her friends, and shows her reliance on them.In the 1950?s, in "Scrapbook of Helen Keller and The Deaf-Blind?, the author notes Keller?s recollections of Pepys in those books read decades earlier ?This week she returned from a two-months? absence in South America, and she has not had a moment yet to catch up with the newspapers and magazines. Unable to talk politics, she talks at table about Pepys?s Diary, which our host Stuart Grummon is reading. She fishes up two or three facts about Pepys that I had forgotten or never knew, remembered from her own reading twenty years ago. What variety there is in her mind!?A fascinating window into Keller?s life and mind, the finest we have had.

Original photograph of Helen Keller with her Great Dane, Sieglinde, and beloved teacher Anne Sullivan's Scottish Terrier. Inscribed by Helen Keller, "To Perry Finkelstein, with cordial greetings, Helen Keller, June 14th, 1938, Helen Keller." Helen Keller had at least one pet from childhood until the end of her life. Dogs served as a special source of companionship to Keller and accompanied wherever she went, from college classrooms to a visit to Japan. Keller is even credited with helping to introduce Japanese Akita breed to the United States with her beloved Kamikaze-Go and Kenzan-Go which were imported directly from Japan. The photograph measures 9.25 inches by 7.25 inches. In near fine condition. Doubled matted and framed; the entire piece measures 16.5 inches by 14.5 inches.

JW. consignment. Shelved []. Brad Meltzer was born April 1, 1970 and has had an eventful career. A very successful writer, he has won awards for his Justice League of America comic books and has been on the bestseller lists for various works including the "Ordinary People Change the World" series, of which "I am Amelia Earhart" and "I am Abraham Lincoln" stood at the top. Meltzer is credited as being partially responsible for finding the missing American flag raised at Ground Zero of the World Trade Center on 9/11, being the one to unveil it at the National September 11 Memorial & Museum in New York. Meltzer is also notable for preserving the house which Superman was created in, founding the Siegel & Schuster Society named for Superman's creators and auctioning the story of the house for $100,000 which went further towards it's maintenance. Meltzer has cited former president's Bush and Clinton as fans of his works, even being one of four authors to entertain at Barbara Bush's 90th birthday party. Christopher Eliopoulos was born September 30, 1967 in Queens, New York. He is known as a prolific letterer, in particular for his work on the Savage Dragon comic series which he hand-lettered on request by the comic's creator Erik Larsen, who preferred the look to the now commonplace computer-generated fonts. Eliopoulos would go on to design the fonts for Marvel Comic's in-house computer lettering unit, as well as contributing lettering work to Valiant Comics and DC comics. He did illustration and writing work for Dark Horse comics on some Star Wars stories. Eliopoulos is also well known for his comic strip Desperate Times who's art style is greatly inspired by Bill Watterson's Calvin and Hobbes comic series, the art of which also inspired his illustration work on the "Ordinary People Change the World" series. "Ordinary People Change the World" is a children's book series which focuses on various historical figures and their lives and contributions to the world. There are 36 entries in the overall series with 3 books on the DC superheroes Wonder Woman, Superman, and Batman, and several compilation books. The first entry, "I am Amelia Earhart" and third entry "I am Abraham Lincoln" would stay at the top of the bestseller lists for children's books of 2014, the rest of the series remaining highly popular. 1384939.

Later printing of Keller's autobiography of her early life, particularly detailing her relationship with Anne Sullivan. Octavo, original cloth, engraved frontispiece portrait of Keller after a photograph by Marshall, illustrated. Presentation copy, inscribed by Helen Keller on the front free endpaper, "To Mar with sincere wishes for a Happy Christmas and New Year Helen Keller Christmas 1935." Laid in as the original postmark from Keller to the recipient. Rare a desirable signed and inscribed by Keller. Helen Keller became a well-traveled lecturer, activist, and prolific writer despite the rare illness she contracted at 19 months of age which left her both blind and deaf. Much of Keller's success was attributed to the 49-year relationship she had with governess and companion Anne Sullivan who initially taught Keller to communicate by spelling words into her hand. In 1904, at the age of 24, Keller graduated from Radcliffe College of Harvard University, becoming the first deaf-blind person to earn a bachelor of arts degree. She went on to become a world-famous speaker and author, best remembered for her work as an advocate for persons with disabilities, the deaf community, and women's suffrage.

Philadelphia: The John C. Winston Company, [1933]. 8vo., green cloth with the original white title label on the front cover; 103 pages. First Edition. In this book Iwahashi (1898-1954) writes about coping with his blindness and about his Christian faith. Iwahashi, considered the Helen Keller of Japan, became blind while a student at Waseda University and began printing Braille books from his home. He then opened his house to lend books to blind people free of charge. In 1935 he established the Nippon Lighthouse in Abeno-ku, Osaka, Japan. He and Helen Keller were close friends and both were, obviously, successful advocates for the blind in their respective countries. Signed inscription from Iwahashi on the front endpaper, using a quote from John Milton about his own blindness: "[He draws and candle and flame] Who best bear his mild yoke, they serve him best. (Milton). T. Iwahashi. 1934,11,23." Very Good (few faint spots covers; some browning to title page). $350.00.
