  • CARL SANDBURG (1878–1967)
    May. 28, 2026

    CARL SANDBURG (1878–1967)

    Est: €2,800 - €3,200

    CARL SANDBURG (1878–1967) | Steichen the Photographer', Harcourt, Brace and Company, New York 1929 Image size: 31.8 x 25.4 x 3.2 cm English Edition no. 729/925 of the seminal book, published by Harcourt, Brace and Company, signed in ink by Edward Steichen and Carl Sandburg, in very good condition. Quarto, with original slip case and original glassine (these show signs of wear), contains 49 full-page sepia half-tone plates. Carl Sandburg was an influential American poet, journalist, historian, and biographer who won three Pulitzer Prizes, one for his monumental biography of Abraham Lincoln. His book – recognized as the first major monograph on Edward Steichen – highlights the artist as one of the key pioneers who established photography as an independent art form and chronicles Steichen's evolution from his early Pictorialism towards modernist Straight Photography. As Sandburg and Steichen were close friends – strengthened by their marriage to sisters – the work offers an intimate perspective on Steichen's working methods and aims. * Fully taxed Deutsch Exemplar Nr. 729/925 des renommierten Buches, herausgegeben von Harcourt, Brace and Company, signiert mit Tinte von Edward Steichen und Carl Sandburg, in sehr gutem Zustand. Quarto, mit Original-Schuber und originalem Pergaminumschlag (diese mit Gebrauchsspuren), enthält 49 ganzseitige Sepia-Halbtondrucke. Carl Sandburg war ein einflussreicher amerikanischer Dichter, Journalist, Historiker und Biograf, der drei Pulitzer-Preise gewann, darunter einen für seine monumentale Biografie Abraham Lincolns. Sein Buch, das als die erste Monografie über Edward Steichen gilt, würdigt den Künstler als einen der wichtigsten Pioniere, die die Fotografie als eigenständige Kunstform etablierten, und zeichnet dessen Entwicklung vom frühen Piktorialismus hin zur modernen Straight Photography nach. Da Sandburg und Steichen eng befreundet waren – eine Freundschaft, die durch ihre Heirat mit Schwestern verstärkt wurde –, bietet das Werk einen intimen Einblick in Steichens Arbeitsweise und Ziele. * Vollbesteuert

    Carl Sandburg TLS mentioning his "Lincoln Library"

    Est: $200 - $300

    Lincoln Abraham Carl Sandburg TLS mentioning his "Lincoln Library"   1pp TLS signed by American poet Carl Sandburg (1878-1967) as “Carl Sandburg” on “Carl Sandburg, Harbert, Michigan” letterhead. In near fine condition with expected light paper folds. The cream watermarked stationery page measures 5.375" x 8.375".   On March 22, 1940, Carl Sandburg wrote to New York lawyer and writer Harold Roland Shapiro: "You are thoughtful to send me your fine tribute to Emanuel Hertz. I appreciate having it and it goes among the keepsakes of my Lincoln library."   Over his long and distinguished literary career, Carl Sandburg wrote poetry, biographies, children’s books, and essays exploring the American -- and specifically the midwestern -- experience. He published five works relating to Illinois native son Abraham Lincoln: Abraham Lincoln: The Prairie Years (1926); Abe Lincoln Grows Up (1928); Mary Lincoln: Wife and Widow (1932); Abraham Lincoln: The War Years (1939), and Lincoln Collector: The Story of Oliver R. Barrett Lincoln Collection (1949). Around the time he wrote this letter, Sandburg won the second of three Pulitzer Prizes for the second part of his Abraham Lincoln biography.   Emanuel Hertz (1870-1940) had gained prestige as a Lincoln historian with his Abraham Lincoln: A New Portrait (1931), Abraham Lincoln: The Tribute of the Synagogue (1936), and The Hidden Lincoln from the Letters and Papers of William H. Herndon (1938). The New York lawyer had collected roughly 4,000 previously unknown items of Lincolniana while researching his books, later donating much of his collection to the Library of Congress.   Sandburg's correspondent Harold Roland Shapiro (active 1930-1970) praised his deceased friend Hertz in his 1941 work Lincoln Historian: Tribute to Work of the late Emanuel Hertz. Shapiro's scholarly interests were diverse: he also published monographs on topics ranging from labor law to twentieth-century warfare. Shapiro also contributed to the New York Times and wrote book reviews.   This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.   WE PROVIDE IN-HOUSE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE!
