Description:
London: The Church Army Back Room, 1905. 8vo, blue cloth, 510 pp. Very Good. Clifford was an artist and missionary who traveled to Hawaii in the 1860s to visit the leprosy settlement at Kalaupapa. He met Father Damien while he was there. There was much fear in England that leprosy would spread there. Father Damien, born Jozef De Veuster, was a Catholic priest from Belgium. He spent his career spreading Catholicism to the Leprosy patients who were quarantined on the island of Moloka'i. He eventually contracted the disease himself, and died. An uncommon firsthand account of Father Damien and his work. A somewhat fragile copy, with spine shaken, but still very good. Signed "From the Author / Sept. 1904" on head of title page.

Description:
Mexico City, 1950. First. Gelatin prints, each 17 x 13 cm with studio stamp verso and editorial marks, including one typed caption "Prostitucion". Date stamped 18 Enero 195[0], possibly 195[3]. Two with red editorial pencil marks recto, some minor wear to surfaces, overall very good. Very Good. Los Hermanos Mayo. The Hermanos Mayo photographic collective adopted their nom de guerre in reference to May Day labor protests in Madrid in the early 1930s. Comprising five brothers from two families, the group's pseudonym "Mayo" affirmed their individual commitments to the struggle of the working class and the Spanish Second Republic. The early influence of Republican anarcho-syndicalism set the tone for the extraordinary body of work they produced in Spain, as war photographers, and in exile in Mexico, where Foto Hermanos Mayo was a successful agency for fifty years. Together, they pioneered the use of Leica street photography in Mexican photojournalism, producing more than 5 million negatives working for…

Description:
Maryland, 1787. One Volume. "Arithmetic Book." Brewer, Joseph (Newton). [Maryland]: June 17, 1786 - (April 21,1789, or after). Folio, half calf bdg, contemporary or old boards; scuffed and chipped and bumped, later rebacking. 80 folio sheets (of which 15 blank) with seated Brittania watermarks. 135 pages mss text in brown ink, original manuscript pagination recto-verso, sgd and dated on front pastedown; internally toned, some closed tears. Near Fine. This manuscript journal comprises an 18th-century American student's mathematics course from 1786 - 1789. The author, Joseph Brewer, signs and dates the journal on the front pastedown, but he never mentions his hometown or his parentage. It is only in the last exercises of 1789 that he reveals himself more fully as "Joseph Newton Brewer," and further, firmer internal evidence regarding this identity is wanting. However, inasmuch as he was ostensibly a student in his mid-teens at the time of composition, and makes frequent reference to Maryland in…

The photographs show women in a range of activities - basketball, stretching, calisthenics, volleyball, etc. Some of the photographs are graphically hand-painted by the editorial staff. Most pictures have corresponding articles pasted onto versos. The images are generally quite playful in…
