Description:
Philadelphia: Henszey and Co, 1860. Albumen photograph measuring 3 ½ x 2 ½ inches on mount. Excellent condition with clipped corners and minimal wear. Near Fine. Rachel Wilson Moore, a Quaker from Philadelphia who had strong anti-slavery views, traveled to the Caribbean and South America in the 1860s to try to save her ailing health. She published her journals from the trip under the title Journal of Rachel Wilson Moore, Kept During a Tour to the West Indies and South America, in 1863-64 With Notes from the Diary of her Husband; together with His Memoir. The book described the conditions of the enslaved people in the Caribbean, which she considered to be worse than the conditions in the American South. Offered here is a photograph of Moore, identified on the verso, from the Philadelphia studio Henszey & Co., likely from the late 1860s, showing an elderly Moore in a bonnet. We find no other records of the image.

Description:
Brooklyn, 1893. Single page. Some tears at creases, else about fine, very good overall. Very Good. A letter written by Thaddeus Hyatt to the editor of the New York Tribune, in response to a letter written by Eli Thayer on William Lloyd Garrison entitled "Garrison and his Creed." Hyatt takes issue with Thayer's portrayal of Garrison. He writes: "I think it is a great pity that so practical a man in Eli thayer, and who confessedly did a great work for Kansas (for which I have alwqays honored him) - should end his days as a Don Quixote, for he might just as well hope to bring down Gibraltar with a pop-gun as to think that he can change the verdict which coming generations will surely take upon the men he so grossly misrepresents and defames.... I am not a non-resistant; but my heart was with Mr. Garrison always in all his burning utterances against Slavery. Garrison, Phillips and John Brown need no defenders. Mr Thayer only hurts himself, and I respect to add that the Tribune (in my judgment) ;;is… Read More

Cincinnati: Corey and Fairbank, 1834. First Edition. 47 pages, complete; 8 7/8" x 5 â…œ." Slight odor else near fine, very good minus overall. Very Good. The Lane Seminary debates were perhaps the most extended and famous of many colonization versus emancipation debates that happened in the 1830s. "Founded in 1829, Lane was bakrolled by Arthur Tappan and headed by Henry Ward Beecher. In 1831 a Rev. Samuel Crothers published letters against slavery in a local paper, and a year later Stanton, a student at Lane, held that the North should not help the South put down a slave rebellion. In 1834 Weld and his followers from Oneida became students at Lane. With the charismatic Weld leading off, students armed with literature from the ACS and AASS explored immediatism for eighteen days in two-hour-plus sessions... to the dismay of the administration, the students not only formed an anti-slavery society but also started teaching in Cincinnati's black community.

Their son Samuel, who would go on to secure important agricultural patents, is also mentioned twice. The images are notable from a photographic history perspective as well, as being early examples of the ambrotype process that had… Read More

Various Publishers. A collection of books from the library of Earnest Elmo Calkins, who had the twin distinctions of being a pioneer in the design of the modern advertising agency and also being one of the first prominent American deaf businessmen. Highlights of the collection include a copy of The Advertising Man inscribed to his business partner Ralph Holden, and his own personal revision copy of Modern Advertising. Also included are Calkins' On the Technique of Being Deaf and two other works by Calkins. Calkins, born in Illinois, was fully deaf by the time he was an adult. After a first failed stint in New York, he managed to get a job in advertising for a firm in Peoria and eventually made his way back to New York City, landing at the Bates agency after studying at the Pratt School of Design. Calkins, with another Bates employee, Ralph Holden, launched the immensely influential Calkins and Holden firm in 1902.

Barry, Sy. A year after moving its headquarters from New York City to Nyack, New York, the Fellowship of Reconciliation - an interfaith group founded in 1915 with pacifist roots - published this, an illustrated story of the Montgomery Bus Boycott, which helped introduce the country to Martin Luther King, Jr. The comic was produced by a number of artists under the direction of Al Capp, who is best known for L'il Abner. The FoR had, a year earlier, assigned the white Methodist minister Glenn E. Smiley, to assist the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in the Montgomery bus boycott. Smiley, as well as executive secretary and director of publications Alfred Hassler - a prolific anti-war writer - directed the production of this comic book, with the help of Capp's studio, who assigned the artist Sy Barry to illustrate the… Read More

Description:
Holly Springs, 1944. First Edition. 8vo, wraps, 20 pp. Wraps detached at spine and with some tears, stain to front wrap and some ink residue, good condition. Good. A privately printed collection of poems by Richard Pitts, who at the time was a student at Rust College in Holly Springs. According to his biography, Pitts was "stricken with arthritis and was a shut-in for five years." The poems mostly deal with moral issues, with titles such as "Don't Try to Peep," "Disobedience" and "Do the Best You Can." Pitts also addresses racism directly. The poem on the rear wrap is entitled "When Will the War Close?" and reads, "When man sees man just as a man ; And hot his skin or color; Justice be given to every man / just as you would a brother. / The blood that's spilled on the battlefield / Has just one common color. / This cruel war will surely end / When each man becomes a brother." OCLC locates four copies, at Yale, Howard, University of Mississippi and University of Southern Mississippi.

Poems on Various Subjects was printed in 1773, with some copies being sent to Boston on the Dartmouth, which was one of the targets of the Boston Tea Party - though the books were spared as the protesters were only interested in the tea onboard." In To Maecenas (1773) this black poet, whose writing and publishing activity was wholly unprecedented, tried on a series of identities she had encounteredin her reading of classical authors, in a transparent quest to identify and formulate a poetic persona… Read More

William Seymore (1786-1846) was a Methodist minister in Bellvale, New York. Edward Ruttenber and L.H. Clark, in their 1881 History of Orange County, describe him as follows: "In 1817, William Seymour, a colored man, was licensed to exhort; afterwards he was given a local preacher's license, and for many years preached in the vicinity of Bellvale. As one of the first laborers under God, his name is remembered by some still living in this place. His home, while here, was at the house of William Wisner. His portrait, gift of Mr. Samuel Wilson, is in the Bellvale parsonage. William Seymour died at the house of Isaac Still, in the town of Monroe. He retired for the night, after a very happy meeting during the evening in the place, and when called for breakfast he was found dead in the bed. The Master came, his work ended, and he entered into rest."… Read More

A collection of five images showing scenes along the Ocklawaha river in the 1890s. The Ocklawaha had been a popular steamboat route in the nineteenth century, though with the advent of the Oclala railroad in 1881, the route became less traveled. These images are from this later period, in the 1890s, making these images of African-American subjects in the area quite uncommon. Three of the images show subjects in front of their homes, a fourth shows several workers in a cotton field, and the final image shows an alligator on the shore of the river.

Description:
Los Angeles, 1976. Eight kodachrome slides showing Foxx, with one possibly related slide of a woman included as well. Unpublished, originally taken for the May 6, 1976 issue of Jet Magazine (Vol. 50 No. 7), which is also included here. Fine condition, magazine nearly fine with slightest tanning. Fine. Redd Foxx left NBC in 1976 after a successful run of six seasons of Sanford and Sun, and went to ABC, producing a short-lived show called The Redd Foxx Comedy Hour which was canceled after its first season due to poor ratings despite wide critical acclaim. Jet Magazine covered the transition in an article in 1976, with photographs by Isaac Sutton. Offered here are eight unused images from the shoot, capturing Foxx in a range of setings including a swimming pool and on his moped riding around Los Angeles. A nice group from the height of Foxx's career in comedy, although his stint at ABC would wind up being a disappointment considering his earlier success.
