Holborn, I(an) B. S(toughton). An archive of nine letters 1906 – 1917 to Prof. Alan W.C. Menzies, including, Prof. Holborn's unique four-page calling card, and a first edition of his poetry, which includes "Lusitaniae Naufragium" and "Children of Fancy."

Professor Ian B. Stoughton Holborn was the laird of a small island in the North Sea, named alternately, "Foula," and "Ultima Thule." He owned and ruled about 200 residents of Ultima Thule. His skill as a champion swimmer saved his life when he swam away from the Lusitania. He very nearly lost his life years later visiting Princeton, when he went swimming in the Delaware and Raritan Canal and was almost drowned when the locks began to change. He was a professor of classical literature and lectured worldwide, being on staff at both Oxford and Cambridge. At the time his card was printed, Prof. Holborn claimed he was the only person to cross Lang Jokul in Iceland.

Sold with Professor Holborn's illustrated double-business card, complete with photograph and his résumé; and, his poetry, Children of Fancy Poems by Ian Bernard Stoughton Holborn, New York: Arnold Shaw, Edinburgh: Andrew Elliot, MCMXV [1915]. Bound in cloth with a stamped Celtic design on the front cover. Printed on heavy rag-content paper. First edition.

Description:
Hardcover. Very good. Black leather album containing 54 tissue-guarded leaves of watercolor paper, of which 43 have been used. 10 x 12 inches, stamped in gilt on the front "Sketches on the Nile / Alan Hinch / 1938." Leather scuffed, cloth tape reinforcement to inner hinges, all else very good. Alan Hinch was born in England c. 1881, but was living in the United States by 1920, when the federal census documents him working in Miami as pilot of a private yacht owned by socialite James Deering, an executive in International Harvester Company. He apparently embarked on this Nile cruise as companion to his next employer, Richard Flint Howe (1863-1943), another International Harvester executive who had married James Deering's sister, Abby. Passenger manifests show Hinch as traveling in the company of a "Mr. R. Howe," and the census of 1940 lists him as butler on Howe's estate. He was clearly more than a simple servant, however, as this charming and humorous album reveals. The album documents the journey… Read More
