[REED, John] . GROUP OF 5 SIGNED PHOTOGRAPHS OF SCENES IN SPAIN with an 
Annotated Photograph of a Friend and a Photograph of Reed with Louise 
Bryant.  First Edition. The 5 scenic photographs are all 2-3/4" x 4-1/2" 
mounted on index cards and are all annotated by Reed and SIGNED by him 
on the versos of the index cards as "J. S. Reed/42 Wash. Sq. N.Y. 1. 
"From my window looking out into the square behind the hotel at Tolosa." 
2. "Pyrenees Running out to sea San Sebastian." 3. Royal Box. The Annual 
Royal Bull-Fight San Sebastian." 4. "Witch-chase in Burgos." 5. 
"Hernani, a typical Basque village, dominated by its big bullying 
Church." The photograph of a gentleman, slightly smaller in size, is 
annotated by Reed in pencil on the verso identifying the man as Dr. 
Dobay at the Ritz Hotel. The photograph of Reed and his wife Bryant is 
slightly larger and depicts them standing and hugging on a porch, likely 
in Provincetown, with no writing on the verso. The European photographs 
were most likely taken by Reed during the summer of 1910 when he 
traveled to Europe following his graduation from Harvard. Very Good and 
unique.

Perhaps the best known left-wing American journalist of the twentieth 
century; Reed was portrayed by Warren Beatty in the film REDS, nominated 
for twelve Academy Awards and winner of three, which centered on Reed's 
life, notably his romance with Louise Bryant, played by Diane Keaton, 
and his early death at 33 in Moscow. Reed's best known book, TEN DAYS 
THAT SHOOK THE WORLD, is Reed's firsthand account of the October 
Revolution in Russia in 1917. (#017507)     $7,500.00
