Et vidunderligt originalt håndskrevet og signeret brev fra en af de mest elskede og hædrede Skagensmalere, der både afslører, hvordan Anna Ancher arbejdede og fik inspiration samt hvordan hun så på rollen som mor. ""Blandt de danske Skagensmalere står Anna Ancher (1859-1935) som den mest populære. I en periode, hvor kun meget få kvinder fik mulighed for at gøre sig gældende som kunstnere, havde hun modet til at træde ud af skabet, det skab, som 1800-tallets mandsdominerende offentlighed havde anbragt så mange talentfulde kvinder i. Men Anna Ancher var for original en kunstner til, at hun kunne gemmes af vejen og gøres til en hemmelighed. Med sine lysfyldte og koloristisk følsomme billeder beherskede hun kvinders verden som kun få - om overhovedet nogen.""

A human document, with an Introduction by Barbara Hannah, 8vo paperback, Schippert & Co, Zurich, s.d. [ 1967 ], XII-128 pp. with 12 original colored drawings under an envelope pasted on guard, and autograph text in flemish on 14 leaves (letters, poems) in another one. Full Tite : The healing influence of Active Imagination in a Specific Case of Neurosis [ Unique and exceptional copy with autograph manuscripts and 12 original drawings: Anna Marjula mystery solved ! ]
Unique copy with 12 original colored symbolical drawings sometimes (3 of them with comments in english) and 14 leaves with manuscript text (3 letters and poems) in flemish. Most of this extra-material is not signed except three letters (two dated 13-5-73 and 28-10-74) signed "Tante Han" or “Hanna”, clearly original work by "Anna Marjula", pseudonym used to protect the identity of the author (The letter "E". On an envelop is written : "These drawings illustrate the fifth conversation with the Great Mother pages 26-27". Many early jungian analysts worked with Anna Marjula (Toni Wolff, Emma Jung or Barbara Hannah), but her real name remained unknown, until now (but we knew it was a pianist). Indeed, our research allowed us to identify the recipient, Ms. Parvati Chavoix-Jodjana ("Vati") but especially the author, who hides behind the pseudonym of Anna Marjula : the famous dutch pianist and composer Hanna Beekhuis (1889-1980) ! A newspaper clipping is joined on a postcard, (that we join), titled : "Gouden medaille voor Hanna Beekhuis" and here's the translation : "Gold medal for Hanna Beekhuis: Arnhem, 3 Oct. - The Dutch composer of chamber music works and songs, Hanna Beekhuis from Ellecom, who currently resides in Zurich, has won a gold medal and an honorary diploma with "Reflet du Japon", a composition for viola and viola at an international competition held in Buenos Aires". It is known she won this medal in 1961.Hanna Beekhuis resided in Zurich, and was previously in relationship with Carl Jung (28 letters or copy of letters between Jung and Hanna Beekhuis, from 1942 until 1960, would be kept in the ETH-Bibliothek). Barbara Hannah explains in her preface that “Professor Jung had, however, once spoken to Anna of including it in a volume of case histories, and, as he died before he had collected the other cases, she was naturally disappointed”. We identify well the identical writing of "Aunt Hanna" with that present on the handwritten drawings, and with the only autograph word reproduced in the work - "Eve".Our incredible copy comes from Parvati Chavoix-Jodjana, daughter of a famous javanese dancer in France, Raden Mas Jodjana (1893-1972) and his wife Raden Ayou. Hanna Beekhuis accompanied the dancer in the 1920s. Another interesting relation with Jungian Psychanalysis is that the Jodjana were friends with Kurt Binswanger and his wife Erica since 1935.Here's some translated extract on a signed letter : “You said me that your Father has become your Guru. What is a guru ? [… ] Your father told me that he was a free thinker. I am that too but Christianity [ … ] is still in blood”. In another one : "The Jodjanas" have meant a lot to me in the course of my life, especially your father, [ … ] your mother too”.

Edition originale du premier recueil de poèmes de la comtesse de Noailles.Celle-ci s’inspire des grandes figures du romantisme, notamment Alfred de Vigny, Alphonse de Lamartine et Victor Hugo. Sa poésie en alexandrins, au rythme classique, est imprégnée de lyrisme et de romantisme. La nature (L'Offrande à la Nature), la mythologie grecque (Offrande à Pan, L’Enfant Eros), l’acceptation de la mort (La Mort fervente, La Mort dit à l’Homme…), sont des thèmes qui traversèrent toute son oeuvre. La référence au titre se retrouve dans son dernier poème, Le Temps de vivre :"Combien s'en sont allés de tous les coeurs vivants[…]— Toi, vis, sois innombrable à force de désirs"L'ouvrage rencontra le succès dès sa publication. "Il semblait qu’Anna redonnait le goût de la poésie à un public lassé de tous les excès comme de tous les conformismes, issus du Parnasse, du symbolisme et du naturalisme" (François Broche). Exemplaire enrichi au premier feuillet d'un poème manuscrit signé par la comtesse. Il reproduit Chanson pour Avril, issu du recueil (p.155). Il est signé par la Comtesse de Noailles et est fidèle au poème imprimé. Il fut ensuite modifié dans les publications postérieures : l’adjectif "tiède" du premier vers de la deuxième strophe fut remplacé par "triste".D'origine grecque et d’une famille aristocratique roumaine, Anna Elisabeth Bassaraba de Brancovan (Paris, 1876-Paris, 1933) entra dans la noblesse française par son mariage avec le comte Mathieu de Noailles. Elle devint une figure incontournable de la vie parisienne de la Belle époque, marquée par l’exposition universelle à Paris en 1889 avec la construction de la Tour Eiffel, mais également par la polémique autour de l’affaire Dreyfus, en 1894, dont Anna de Noailles prit la défense. Poétesse et romancière, elle compta de nombreux amis écrivains, parmi eux, Anatole France, Colette, André Gide, Robert de Montesquiou, Paul Valéry et Marcel Proust. Celui-ci immortalisa le mariage, en 1897, d’Anna et du comte de Noailles dans Le Côté de Guermantes. "Un cousin de Saint-Loup avait épousé une jeune princesse d’Orient qui, disait-on, faisait des vers aussi beaux que ceux de Victor Hugo et d’Alfred de Vigny…" La comtesse de Noailles fut la première présidente du prix Vie heureuse, qui devint le prix Femina en 1922, et la première femme commandeur de la légion d’honneur (1931). Elle reçut, en 1921, le Grand Prix de Littérature de l’Académie française. Une élégante reliure d'Adrien Lavaux au décor raffiné.Relieur parisien, successeur de l’atelier de Garaud en 1910, Adrien Lavaux exerça jusqu’à sa mort, en 1937.

“Elle fit de son talent une arme pour la France.” (Charles de Gaulle) — Née le 30 octobre 1917 dans les beaux quartiers de Saint-Pétersbourg, Anna Marly – de son vrai nom Betoulinsky – va connaître bien des errances à travers les bouleversements de l'Europe. Exilée de la Russie devenue soviétique, direction la Côte d'Azur ; danseuse dans le corps des Ballets russes ; chanteuse-vedette dans les cabarets parisiens ; la guerre va révéler son talent à des milliers d'hommes et de femmes qui résistent à l'occupant allemand. Pourtant, lorsque Anna Marly arrive à Londres en 1941, personne ne la connaît. Elle s'engage comme cantinière au sein des Volontaires de la France Libre. Le soir, elle compose des chants que lui inspire le gigantesque combat. Elle les interprète devant des soldats et des marins qui sont bouleversés par la beauté et la force des mélodies. “La Chanson des V”, “Le Chant des partisans”, “La Complainte du partisan”, “Paris est à nous” – autant d'hymnes à la liberté, chantés, entonnés, sifflés d'abord par les maquisards, puis repris par tous à la Libération. À son retour en France, en 1945, Anna Marly connaît la gloire. Couvertures de magazine, galas, un tourbillon qu'elle fuit en 1947. Brésil, Argentine, Chili, Pérou... Anna Marly devient l'ambassadrice de la chanson française en Amérique latine. Puis, de 1955 à 1959, elle sillonne le continent africain toujours accompagnée de sa guitare, avant de s'installer aux États-Unis. Durant sa carrière de troubadour, Anna Marly a composé près de 300 chansons. Elle s'est éteinte le 17 février 2006, en Alaska, à l'âge de 88 ans.
