Description:
Washington, 1963. Felt pennant measuring 11 ½ x 23 inches. A particularly fine example, with two small chips to white felt at border and slightest rubbing to the "f" in "for all," else fine. Fine. A striking, large and apparently unrecorded pennant from the 1963 March on Washington, with Lincoln's profile under the Capitol dome and the caption "Let's All Join for Equality Now For All Americans / They Shall Not Have Died in Vain."Various banners were produced for the event, we find a single record (Swann Galleries African-Americana sale 2562, lot 163) of this particular version, which is larger than any others and to our knowledge the only one with Lincoln's likeness.

Description:
Washington, 1963. First Edition. Paper pennant measuring 10 1/16 × 16 7/16 inches. Tip detached and toned but easily restorable, some wear and small amount of loss at shortest side, very good minus condition overall. Very Good. One of only a few known copies of this American flag-themed pennant from the March on Washington, notable for its incorporation of the American flag motif. Adaptations of the flag design were common in political graphics of the nineteenth century, though the tradition dwindled in the twentieth century. The forty three stars shown appear to have no significance, nor do the seventeen stripes. As many of the items created for the March on Washington were made by different groups attending the event, most ephemeral items do not survive in any quantity. This pennant is featured in "For Whom it Stands: The Flag and the American People" by Michelle Joan Wilkerson (2015, Reginald F. Lewis Museum for Maryland African American History and Culture), p. 22 and 61, and a copy is held at…

Description:
Oregon, 1890. Silver gelatin photograph measuring 7 ¾ x 4 ¾ inches. Fine condition, some wear to mount. Fine. A striking photograph of a group of miners in Grant's Pass in Oregon in the 1890s, including a woman and a girl. We believe the photograph to be taken near Tom East Creek, which provides drainage from the Greenback Lode Mine, produced a prolific amount of placer gold in the 1890s. A wonderful photograph that has a somewhat otherworldly quality due to the long exposure times and the sharpness of the subjects in relation to the creek behind them.
