Folded greeting card in envelope. The image on the cover of this item is taken from an original painting by Br. Robert Lentz, Franciscan Friar whose innovative icons are known around the world.

Tower of Babel / signed unbound page proofs
Notes
Unbound untrimmed pages. Signed by the artist (Gerhard Marcks); these sheets make up all four of Gerhard Marcks's expressionistic wood engravings, as well as his wood-engraved title-page, for James Laughlin's 1957 edition of Thomas Merton's The Tower of Babel. The sheets may have been page proofs for this work. The illustrations are printed in black on two sizes of paper, one measuring 14 1/2 by 11 1/2 inches and the other approximately 12 by 9 inches. Gerhard Marcks was a German artist and sculptor who, in 1919, joined Walter Gropius at the Staatliches Bauhaus, where he was put in charge of the Bauhaus pottery in Dornburg. In the 1930s his artwork was denounced and confiscated by the Nazis, two of his pieces being shown in an exhibition of "Degenerate Art." But he continued to work, and in the 50s was the recipient of two prestigious German art awards. The Tower of Babel is considered among the most beautiful productions ever done by Laughlin's legendary New Directions publishing house.

Soft cover. A lovely small illuminated folder from Stanbrook Abbey Press, with both a calligraphic title 'HE' and a green and gold flower design by Margaret Adams; printed in 20-point Cancelleresca Bastarda in black on W S Hodgkinson handmade paper, mounted in overlapping blue card covers with the title on the front cover and the colophon printed in black on the back cover. Relationship of this printing to Thomas Merton: Dame Marcella van Bruyn (a Benedictine nun of Stanbrook Abbey in England) first contacted Merton through the encouragement of Jacques Maritain. Stanbrook Press published poems of Raïssa Maritain as well as some of Merton's works, including his translations of a prayer of Cassiodorus and a letter by Guigo the Carthusian. Merton provided this text to Stanbrook Abbey Press and cited it was "From a fourteenth century manuscript". Sr. Margaret Truran of Stanbrook notes, "The text is hand-set by the Stanbrook Abbey Press in Jan van Krimpen’s font 'Romulus Cancelleresca Bastarda', a trademark of the Press. The calligraphic capitals H and E are done by Margaret Adams." Related Information: See published letters from Merton to van Bruyn in The School of Charity, pp. 160-161, 182-183, 190-191, 205-206, 249-250, 270-271, 284-285, 298-300, 302, and 311-312.

This is one of his later works as he died in 1931 of a brain tumor and was incapacitated some time before then.

Atkinson) who was a friend of Owen and Ruth Merton from New Zealand and attended their wedding. There also appears to be a faint signature of Owen on the back of the item.

Black on Black - silkscreen (or lithograph?) colour prints #9 & #10
Notes
This item contains two original black on black silkscreen (or lithograph?) prints (#9 & #10 - both stamped and numbered) from an edition of 250 - both protected in original numbered folders with rice-paper protection slips. Merton and Reinhardt were friends in Columbia and continued to be so after Merton became a monk. In 1957 Merton requested and received an original black on black painting from Reinhardt to aid in his prayer life. In a journal entry of November 17, Merton described the painting, “Almost invisible cross on a black background. As though immersed in darkness and trying to emerge from it . . . You have to look hard to see the cross. One must turn away from everything else and concentrate on the picture as though peering through a window into the night . . . I should say a very ‘holy’ picture—helps prayer—an ‘image’ without features to accustom the mind at once to the night of prayer—and to help one set aside trivial and useless images that wander into prayer and spoil it.” - from Cunningham, Lawrence S. (editor) A Search for Solitude: The Journals of Thomas Merton, vol. 3. HarperSanfrancisco, 1996.

Original Drawing / Symetrical Male Figure
Notes
Original drawing by the artist; seems to demonstrate the influence Merton had on Reinhardt, with the 2 crosses depicted in this drawing. This item is similar to a piece sold at the Woodward Gallery in New York City, from an exhibition of Reinhardt's drawings held on November 8 - December 27, 2008. This piece was brought to, and examined by, John Woodward (Gallery Director) on June 11, 2013. At that time, and with limited provenance accompanying the item, it was confirmed to most likely be an authentic drawing by Reinhardt - paper, size, style, signature and subject all conform with know articles, and especially those sold during the exhibition at the Woodward Gallery. 2008 exhibition documents and titles of all pieces displayed at that exhibition accompany this item, including images of the similar item to this one from that exhibition.

Notes
Newsprint broadside. Pax was a "magazine" of poetry and art in which the work was the free contribution of the artists themselves "as their way of working toward an appreciation of the ideal of an enduring peace: the work of justice, the fruit of love". Pax was edited and published by Robert Lax (close friend to Merton) from the offices of Jubilee magazine starting in the mid-1950’s to the early 1960’s and was revived for a few minor issues in the 1980’s.
