Description:
New York: Elias Dexter, 1862. Small folio, later black cloth, viii, 104 pp. Complete with sixty-three plates, as well as a photographic title page. One of 100 copies. Very Good. A very scarce and important reference on Saint-Memin, also important as one of the earliest books illustrated with unique sets of photographic prints. This copy generally well preserved, with some occasional fading to plates. Some dampstaining to text portion at margins. Light marginal creasing to corners of plates, not affecting images. The photographic title page appears to be a copy of an earlier edition, reading: Partie de la Collection des 818 / Portraits graves / par / Ch. Balt Julien Fevret de Saint Memin, ancien Officier / aux Gardes Francaises, pendant son emigration aux Etats-Unis. 1793 - 1814, and includes sixteen portraits surrounding the text.

Description:
New York: Anson P. Norton, 1860. 12mo, wraps, 144 pp. Very Good. An uncommon pro-annexation title on the gold fields of what is now Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Courtney was commissioned by the editor of the New York Herald to write a pro-annexation treatise. He described the island as a virginal paradise ready for U.S. husbanding and fertilization. The outbreak of the Civil War a year later left these efforts to annex nearly impossible, and Courtney and similar advocates' ambitions were blocked. Spain reannexed Santo Domingo in 1861. A very good minus copy in original wraps with light general wear and some chips to wraps.

London: British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society, 1842. Printed circular, 8 x 9 â…ž inches, four pages, with autograph lettter on blank page. Tear with loss at margin of circular from original opening of the folded circular, with the remainder present under the wax seal, else fine, exceptionally well preserved. Fine. An important and very scarce circular announcing the World Anti-Slavery Convention of 1840, a significant event in the global abolition movement and the history of the Women's Movement, particularly notable for the inclusion of many women speakers including the Americans Lucrecia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. This circular was sent to Gerrit Smith - who was Stanton's cousin - by the secretary of the BFASS, John Scoble, with an autograph letter inviting him as a delegate to a convention planned for 1843 on the blank pages preceding the printed portion. The World Anti-Slavery Convention was organized by the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society - an organization which still exists…

Description:
Oakland, 1971. Press photographs measuring 11 x 7 ½ inches. Some fading and foxing, editorial marks to versos, very good condition overall. Very Good. A pair of photographs taken at an event commemorating the death of Malcolm X at Oakland's McClymends High School on May 19, 1971. The event was covered by the San Francisco Examiner, with these two images used in an article entitled "Malcolm X's Widow: A Militant Spirit" by Caroline Drewes. These copies are deaccessioned from the Examiner's reference library, with editorial marks to versos, and we find no other record of the images being duplicated elsewhere. Shabazz traveled from her home in upstate New York to attend the event, during a period when she was attending university for health administration and lecturing nationally at colleges on a range of subjects.

Description:
[Peterboro?], 1859. Four page bilfolium, 12 ½ x 8 inches. Fine condition. Fine. An uncommon imprint likely printed by Gerrit Smith in Peterboro, in 1859, the bulk of which reprints one of Smith's speech from June 17, 1857 in Milwaukee. The speech mostly addresses the constitutionality of the Fugitive Slave Act, a piece of legislation which galvanized the abolition movement and convinced many that violent resistance was justified. The preamble to Smith's speech lists three of duties of the New York Legislature: to close the dramshops, to prevent withholding suffrage from black men, and to protect the "weary and heart-broken fugitive slaves" within state limits.

Description:
Nome: Lomen Brothers, 1914. Silver gelatin print, 6 1/2 x 9 1/2 inches. Fine. Women's baseball evolved alongside men's leagues beginning in the 1860s, with many teams and leagues appearing throughout the following decades, often playing indoors and often unrecorded in the annals of baseball history. Women's baseball was particularly popular in Minnesota and parts of the Midwest in the early part of the twentieth century. This photograph bears evidence as to the game's migration to Alaska Territory, where long winters would have been particularly conducive to an indoor league. This photograph, by the Nome, Alaska firm Lomen Brothers, shows the champion team of the Ladies Indoor Baseball League in Nome. We find no record in contemporary newspapers or anywhere else of the league. The Nome Brothers were a well-known photographic firm, who migrated from Minnesota to Alaska at the height of the Nome Gold Rush in 1903. By 1909 at the end of the gold rush, the population of Nome declined substantially to…

Description:
Huron, 1891. Albumen photograph measuring 5 ½ x 4 inches on larger mount. Some fading, very good overall. A scarce and possibly image from the post-statehood Surveyor-General's office. Surveying in the Dakota Territory and in the early statehood period was quite difficult due to the terrain and the abundance of privately held mining claims. This photograph shows an early South Dakota office led by General B.H. Sullivan. Included in the picture is Miss Eva Jackson, the Assistant Transcribing Clerk.
