John Bennett Shaw Collection of Printed Ephemera for Modern Authors

1897-1986

https://nmarchives.unm.edu/repositories/22/archival_objects/178924

Although this collection contains, as the title implies, much that is ephemeral and prosaic, there are many items of interest: from early publications of Eliot's "The Waste Land" in The Dial (November 1922) and Yeats's "Leda and the Swan" in To-Morrow (August 1924) to the initial publication of Waugh's The Loved One in Horizon, February 1948. There is a playbill from I Am a Camera, which is based upon Isherword's Berlin Stories and which subsequently became the film Cabaret to a moving recording of Gertrude Stein reading her tribute to Sherwood Anderson, "Valentine for Sherwood." More obscure figures are also represented, for example: Harvey Breit's There Falls Tom Fool inscribed by the author and the "crime dossiers" of Dennis Wheatley.
