ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAIT OF WILLIAM BURROUGHS, INSCRIBED BY THE PHOTOGRAPHER by [Burroughs, William S.]: Lyon, Nelson - 1989

ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAIT OF WILLIAM BURROUGHS, INSCRIBED BY THE PHOTOGRAPHER
by [Burroughs, William S.]: Lyon, Nelson
- Used
[Np], 1989. Original 16 x 20" black & white photograph (image size 12 x 18" landscape orientation). One corner faintly bumped, otherwise fine. A vintage print of this superb photographic portrait of Burroughs, taken at his shooting range. Burroughs, wearing a hat and combat jacket, with automatic pistol in hand, is standing in front of an array of bullet- riddled targets, framed by the larger rough timber and log backstop, facing the camera directly with a broad, closed-lipped grin. Inscribed by the photographer on the verso: "For Walter Reuben - Merry Xmas From Nelson Lyon '89." Lyon, screenwriter, producer, and former SNL writer, was associated with Burroughs on a number of projects, including the recording, DEAD CITY RADIO, and the audio- book version of NAKED LUNCH. According to the recipient of this print, Lyon made about six exhibition quality prints of this photograph in 1989, like the one in hand, all for presentation; subsequently, the photograph has been reproduced in books about Burroughs, and was used as the Burroughs obit photo by the SF CHRONICLE. Later printings of the photograph have been exhibited and sold through galleries. Burroughs contributed an introductory note to the 1979 catalogue of Reuben's Kerouac Collection.

Description:
1970. The poem measures 61 x 45 cm. Kenneth Patchen sent it out for The Christmas holiday and is accompanied by a long 40-line letter he wrote to Larry Lake, publisher of Mano-Mano (Bowery Press), dated June 2, 1971 (in original hand addressed envelope), with his Palo Alto address. In this letter he says things have become a bit scrambled regarding permission to have his work quoted in Mano-Mano. He refers to his letter of January 20, [1971] where he says "you wrote us a letter in which you say..." here he quotes what Larry Lake had written about the proposed issue and Lake's note that he plans to dedicate it to him and list all his works. He also notes that his wife [Miriam] had sent a note of thanks and granted permission. Note: here we have the original letter of 20 lines from Miriam dated January 24, 1971 (also in original hand-addressed envelope in which she beautifully expresses her thanks for his desire to honor her husband but inexplicably she writes: "of course you have permission for…

Notes
First edition, uncommon. Fascinating document of the San Francisco underground scene. A sequence of amphetamine-fuelled metaphysical explorations combining the Satanic, astrological, and psychedelic in equal measure, with just a dash of biker lore. Reynolds was secretary of the notorious SF chapter of the Hell's Angels, and the previous year had seen the publication of his autobiography "as told to" poet Michael McLure, with whom he had been performing musical settings of McClure's poems - Frank on… Read More

Description:
Here is the rare, first edition hardcover of "Earth House Hold," signed by Gary Snyder. Only 2500 copies published in 1969 by New Directions (Item A 22 in the Gary Snyder Bibliography by Katherine McNeil). No dust jacket.Signed on the title page by Snyder directly beneath and partially over his printed name, in his calligraphy script style.
Although one of Snyder's better-known books, signed copies are rare, especially in hardcover.
Condition is VG to VG- with some foxing and soiling, and light fraying to front corners of spine tips. Very mild bow to front board, shows only if you hold the book flat in your hand like a platter and hold it up to the light. (Most sellers wouldn't even mention it.)
All in all, a solid signed copy of this important title in the Snyder canon.
