Ms. Hoogendyk, also known as Marianne, was an art student at the Sorbonne; her family was from Sharon, Connecticut at the time. There are some accomplished sketches of buildings, of circus scenes with animals and clowns, some studies of men and children on the street, of musicians in concert/jamming, and of costumed dancers (most of the latter are crayon or pastel). A nicely preserved archive. 20 pencil, ink and wash drawings; 39 pencil sketches; 7 watercolors; 17 crayon/pastel drawings; and 7 mixed media pieces.

Danville, Illinois: Freese, Boener & Co. Printers No Date, circa 1910-1920. A blank complimentary notebook rendered unique and charming by a series of anonymous Folk Art pencil drawings, 14 in all, of primarily African-American figures. Some drawings are captioned, and seem to be telling a story- -Where Is the Boy ?, Here I Am, Testing a Melon, The Suspected Man, The Weather Prophet, Brother Gardener Declines, Elder Toots Denies, Hank Was Watching, and Going Over to Sims", the latter 2 featuring men with guns. The notebook reads "Complimenst of Hancock & Briner, dealers in Dry Goods, Gents' Pants, Hats, Caps, Boots, Shoes and General Merchandise. Veedersburg, Ind. Freese, Boener & Co. Printers, Danville, Ill." front cover, and "We present you with this book, and making 'Fair Dealing and Low Prices' our motto, we earnestly solicit a share of your patronage. Call and see us. Hancock & Briner, Veedersburg, Ind.". 3 pages have numbers and figures, one page with the names "Miss Susie, Miss Kim, Miss Claypool". Very Good, light soiling. As another dealer has put it "vintage children's art esp(ecially) of an African American child are more than scarce".. Pamphlet. Very Good. 4 7/8" x 2 1/4" .

Description:
ca. 1935. Very Good. Printed bill, 35 x 50 cm. Blue ink on paper. Restored and laid down. The propaganda war against Francos forces in Spain was fought largely with posters. These were pasted up on walls in the night at great risk not only to those putting them up, but to the printers, artists, and organizers, too. The Socorro Rojo Internacional (S.R.I.), a creation of the Communist International Congress of 1922, was intended to function as a support and aid organization (providing soup kitchens, medical care, etc.) but also propagandized energetically. This poster declares War unto Death! To the provocateur, the spy, to anyone who sows discontent and fear. Lets end the Fifth Column. The little figure is composed of multiple eyes and antennae, keeping watch and listening. Such posters were willfully destroyed, and surviving examples are rare.

Interior has ownership inscription on front blank with date of 1827, old prior seller's price on blank. No other writing or markings. Spine reinforced with paper in distant past. Paginates: wraps, blanks, 48. Illustrations included in pagination. Complete as issued. This edition is uncommon. WorldCat locates ~15 copies. See OCLC: 34635134 & 22449258; Rosenbach 681. Harlan Page is the engraver, author is unknown. Please see images of the book you will receive. Notes: identification of edition priority is a challenge. The undated New-York Religious Tract Society is generally considered the true first. The sources on this make conclusory statements and there is reason to doubt them. I put together a summary of my research for those who are interested.[Indigenous, South Pacific, theology]
