Description:
[America. 1938]. Four Mounted Photographs. Images: 7½ x 9½ inches; mounts 11 x 14 inches. Signed and dated on mount at lower right. Very Good. Four photographs from an American gathering of Schlaraffia, a worldwide German-speaking fraternal group. The Schlaraffen, as members were called, were noted for their light-hearted fellowship and use of antiquated language and pseudo-Medieval costume and regalia. The images may show an initiation of a new member or perhaps a dignitary's visit to the meeting. A man in formal evening dress is welcomed by a member and then addressed by another reading from a ritual text. The man is then offered a drink from a ceremonial jug and, finally, saluted by the raising of swords and halberds. Members wear a variety of plumed or decorated hats; some are shown wearing chains of office and one carries a staff or mace topped with the Schlaraffia mascot, the eagle owl.

[America, c.1910s-1920s]. [32]pp. Ruled commercial notebook with stiff paper covers and cloth spine. Approx. 8½ x 7 inches. 6 tipped in exercise sheets and 35 mounted textile swatches. Very Good. Schoolgirl sewing and needlework notebook kept by high-schooler Mildred Hagy. An outline on the "Parts of The Singer [Sewing] Machine" is followed by six tipped-in sample sheets; pencil diagrams showing the techniques of hemming, facing, and both machine and hand binding. The heart of the notebook are its 32 textile samples. The first of these highlight cloth types: nainsook, batiste, silk, crêpe de chine, and outing flannel. Thirteen swatches show examples of techniques used for hemming, attaching lace or ruffles, fagoting (embroidery), or for making plackets. Additional swatches show fabrics for underwear and kimonos, such as serpentine cloth and Japanese crêpe. Mildred's progress was monitored by her teacher who comments in red ink: "All work is very well done."

- Transmitted note on embossed address card, 3½ x 4½ inches, sent by "The Great Defender" -famed lawyer Sir Edward Marshall Hall (1858-1927) to E. Lonsdale Deighton. In full: "If you will send the sheet to my clerk at 3 Temple Garden on Thursday he will see that it signed that day. E. Marshall Hall." The card is postmarked September 6, 1922 and Deighton was likely Hall's client. He authored The British Legion Album: in aid of Field-Marshal Earl Haig's appeal for ex-service men of all ranks (1924). Hall became one England's greatest celebrity lawyers of the late Victorian and early Edwardian periods. His good looks, eloquence, and expert skills in the defense of his clients made his services desirable after several high profile criminal cases. "He enjoyed, perhaps, a greater reputation with the public than with his profession but at his best he was a powerful advocate, and always the kindest and most generous of leaders. His strength lay in his ability to challenge expert witnesses by ensuring that…

Jacksonville: James A. Holloman, (1901). 98 unnumbered pages + ads and two fold-out plates. Illustrated wrappers soiled; faint edge-chipping to title-page, else very good. The front wrapper for this copy has a drawing by F.G. Storey -a demonic figure setting the grid of the city alight with a torch. We locate a variant printing of this title with a plain printed front cover, but not ours. This is the recounting of the events of The Great Fire of 1901. Jacksonville's fire, the third-largest urban fire after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 and the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, destroyed nearly 150 city blocks. The text includes vivid descriptions of the horror, eyewitness accounts, information on the subsequent military rule in the city, and property loss estimates. A large fold-out plate shows a panoramic view of the burnt district and the ruins of the city building, St. James Hotel, armory, and two churches. Other illustrations include a fold-out facsimile of the front page of Jacksonville's The…

[Philadelphia, August 1944]. Broadside. 14 x 17¾ inches. Creasing; some edge wear and light soiling at top and bottom; Very Good. Unrecorded World War II military directive issued to employees of the Philadelphia Transportation Company on strike in protest against Black employees taking on non-menial jobs. The Philadelphia transit strike of 1944 was the largest racially motivated labor strike of the war. On August 1, 1944, because of wartime labor shortages, newly trained Black workers of the PTC began to take positions as drivers and conductors, jobs previously reserved for whites. By noon that day, with racial tensions rising, 4,500 white employees of the PTC responded by going out on strike, crippling an essential wartime service. In response, acting under the provisions of the Smith-Connally Act (War Labor Disputes Act), President Franklin D. Roosevelt ordered the War Department to take control of the PTC. "On Saturday, August 5, President Roosevelt sent 5,000 heavily armed soldiers into…

Mission work is described in Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia, Mississippi, and Texas.

The frontispiece shows a well-dressed Black boy standing in front, in homage, to a large statue of Abraham Lincoln. Another plate shows a college printing shop where a young man and women work with sophisticated printing machinery. The…
