Description:
N.P., 1972. . Poster measuring 14 x 22 inches. Some marks, a closed tear with tape repair edgewear and creasing, very good minus overall. Very Good. After John Conyers' efforts to create a national holiday honoring Martin Luther King, Jr. failed in congress days following his assassination, the first celebrations of Martin Luther King's birthday began in 1969 when the newly created King Center, led by Coretta Scott King, organized events in King's honor on his birthday of January 15th. Observations of King's birthday followed in each subsequent year, with the SCLC collecting three million signatures in support of a national holiday in 1971. Despite these efforts, no bill honoring King would be signed into law until 1973, in Illinois. Offered here is a poster from one of these early celebrations in 1972. We can find no record of the artist - a J.L. - or similar surviving examples of this poster.

Description:
New York: Fisher and Brothers, 1851. 16mo, wraps, unpaginated. A few small holes to front wrap, fraying to spine, slight tanning, very good plus overall with a tight binding and bright contents. Very Good. An uncommon songster with woodcut illustrations published in 1851, marking the likely first appearance of "Old Folks at Home" in digest form. We are unable to establish priority between this songster and the Firth, Pond and Co. sheet music edition of the title, as both were published in 1851. The listing for "Old Folks at Home" contains a note at the introduction that Fisher has the "sole and exclusive permission to publish the words" to the song from Firth, Pond and Co. The remainder of the songster includes many songs credited to Christy's Minstrels, along with Jim Sanford, S.S. Steele, Lucy Long, Old Dan Tucker, Alen Clark, and F. McDermott. These are likely early digest form printings of many of these songs, though dating is difficult due to other Christy's songsters from the 1850s being… Read More

Description:
N.p., 1924. Glossy gelatin silver print, 1924. 7 ½ x 6 inches. Signed by Curtis. Curtis, EdwardAn Owens Valley Mono. Glossy gelatin silver print, 1924. 7 ½ x 6 inches. Signed by Curtis. By the time Edward Curtis began photographing Native Americans in California in 1916, the populations had dwindled to a fraction of what they had been before Spanish settlement. This image is likely of a member of the Eastern Mono, also known as the Owens Valley Paiute, who inhabit the area around the California-Nevada border. The image was originally featured in Vol. XV of The North American Indian. Curtis created silver gelatin prints for exhibitions and to sell. Condition: Minor staining in sheet margin at upper right corner, unobtrusive emulsion losses at lower right and lower left corners, old hinge residue along top edge of the verso. The sheet measures 7 3/4 x 6 1/4 in. Impressions from the type-writing on the verso are visible on the recto in raking light. Still an excellent example with nice contrast.
