Miller, Henry. "SEMBLANCE OF A DEVOTED PAST": AN ORIGINAL INK & WATERCOLOR WASH DRAWING TITLED AND SIGNED BY HENRY MILLER.
[1944].
AN ORIGINAL SIGNED INK & WATERCOLOR DRAWING BY HENRY MILLER AS A BOOK COVER DESIGN - An original black & white ink & watercolor wash drawing by Henry Miller on17 inch high by 13 inch wide stiff cardboard. The drawing is an original book cover design for "Semblance of a Devoted Past" which was published by Bern Porter. The drawing, however, was not used. Henry Miller's large Impressionistic drawing depicts a postcard centered within the outline of a face cancelled by an "X". "Dear Emil" is written repeatedly, almost obsessively, in holograph across the depiction of the postcard [the book "Semblance of a Devoted Past" is a selection of letters to Miller's long-time friend Emil Schnellock, thus the associated image of a postcard to Emil]. Following the circumference of the face, Henry Miller has titled and signed the work in inch high holographic script: "Semblance of a Devoted Past / Henry Miller". A heavy watercolor wash jagged line frames the circumference of the central image. Unique original art with Henry Miller's name signed as an integral part of the drawing. A fine item framed under glass in a 2-sided silver metal and wood frame which permits Bern Porter's inscription attesting to the drawing's provenance to be viewed on the verso. Drawn by Henry Miller for the cover of the book by that title published by Bern Porter, but not used. The drawing's provenance is attested to by Bern Porter has who penned the following note on the verso of the painting: "Drawn by Henry Miller as a cover design for Semblance of A Devoted Past published by Bern Porter but not used. s/ Bern Porter Waldwick, 4/23/63". Additionally mounted to the back of the drawing is Bern Porter's card which he has further inscribed in holograph: "Authentication: This is an original Henry Miller drawing. B/P." A UNIQUE item.

Miller, Henry (1891-1980). A MANUSCRIPT BY HENRY MILLER'S JAPANESE LANGUAGE TEACHER HEAVILY CORRECTED IN RED FELT BY HENRY MILLER AND SIGNED WITH HIS INITIALS.
- A one and a half-page student's manuscript typed on 2 sheets of 11 inch high by 8-1/2 inch wide paper with profuse corrections and annotations penned in red felt by Henry Miller. The manuscript by Michiyo Watanabe, identified in blue ink at top left, relates a young Japanese woman's process of adapting to a new culture during her stay in America. The manuscript has a few minor pencil corrections concluding with the words "Interesting & well organized" apparently written by the student's teacher. This essay, with 3 paragraphs which correspond to the young woman's stages of self-discovery, is heavily corrected in red felt by the American author Henry Miller. The sentence "The first few months can be called a happy ignorant period" has been corrected to "The first few months can be called a period of happy ignorance". Henry Miller proceeds with great care to correct sentences and wording throughout the essay, concluding at the end with a boldly penned comment "Excuse my audacity! But I hope you see what your teacher was too lazy to point out." Signed "HM" by Henry Miller. Folded for mailing with a tiny chip to the right edge of the first page and a small brownish ink spot at the bottom of both pages. Near fine. In 1967, Henry Miller began his study of Japanese with Michiyo Watanabe; that was the same year he married Hoki Tokuda.
