The Quorum: A Magazine of Friendship |
This ill-faited "magazine of friendship" was published in London in 1920 and was the first endeavour at floating a homosexual magazine since the equally short-lived publication of The Chameleon in 1894. Among the contributors to the magazine were Kenneth Ingram, Rev. E.E. Bradford, Leonard Green, John Gambril Nicholson, Rev. Arthur Less Gardner, Dorothy Sayers, Charles Kains Jackson and George Ives. Many of these activists shared more than their views on social reform, and were also involved in the British Society for the Study of Sex Psychology, a group devoted to the radical agenda of sexual reform articulated by Edward Carpenter and Havelock Ellis. A reprint with Introduction by Timothy d'Arch Smith. Fine in boards. |

Wo Es War, Soll Ich Werden: The Restored Original Text |
The author's last limited edition, which he considered his best fiction work. The edition was completed several months before Davenport's death and is a restoration of the original version of the novella published in 1990 (as The Drummer of the Eleventh North Devonshire Fusiliers). Issued in an edition of 100 signed and numbered copies, bound by hand, this is copy #41. Laid into the book are two additional Davenport pieces: an essay (Circumspectus") and a brief scene ("Cadenza") set some years after the events in the novella. The edition was issued privately to Davenport collectors and went out of print quickly. A fine copy |

The first edition of this extraordinary collection of writings by one of the world's most famous transvesites.The Chevalier d'Eon (1728-1802) first attracted the attention of King Louis XV at a masquerade ball (where he was dressed as a woman) and he was persuaded to act as a spy in Russia posing as Mademoiselle Lia de Beaumont. In 1763 d'Eon became plenipotentiary minister in London and spied for the king once again, making many friends in the aristocracy. When he was about to lose the post of plenipotentiary, he complained, and eventually decided to disobey orders to return to France. Launching an effort to save his diplomatic post in London, he published most of the secret diplomatic correspondence in the volume described here. In 1774, after the death of Louis XV, d'Eon tried to negotiate his return and also claimed that physically he was not a man, but a woman, and demanded that the government recognize him as a woman. King Louis XVI and his court complied and demanded that he wear women's clothing. D'Eon agreed, especially when the king granted funds for a new wardrobe. In 1777 d'Eon returned to France, and afterwards lived as a woman.D'Eon returned to England in 1785, but in 1792 he sent a letter to the French National Assembly, offering to lead a division of women soldiers against the Hapsburgs, but the offer was rebuffed. Chevalier d'Eon died in London in 1802 and the doctors who examined him after death discovered that his body was anatomically male.A very good copy in contemporary leather binding, raised spine bands with gilt decorations. The front hinge is quite weak and the front joint has been repaired. The rear hinge is weak and there is wear to the edges of the binding. An extremely uncommon book by one of the centuries true eccentrics. We find no examples in any institutional collections. |
