[H. Lynn Womack 1923-1985, Pre-Stonewall Gay Guide] J Guild Book Service. INTERNATIONAL GUILD GUIDE. GIG 67. Washington, D.C.: Guild Book Service, 1967. 21.5 cm x 13.5 cm. 231 pages plus 9 unpaginated leaves for "Notes." Orange paper cover with red lettering and design on the front cover; "GP", the Guild Press Ltd. Logo on the back cover. A pre-Stonewall guide for gay men, "published in January of each year at a price of $5.00," featuring the Guild Press coding system to indicate what types of people frequented the various establishments in their international guide, by country and city. The first 143 pages are devoted to the United States and United States Territories. The remainder of the listings are for other countries. Condition is fine, almost as new. See: H. Lynn Womack Papers, Cornell University. H. Lynn Womack (1923-1985) was a headmaster of a boys school in the 1940s and then a professor at George Washington University. In 1952, Womack bought the small company, Guild Press, and as publisher, editor, and distributor, turned it into a lucrative gay publishing company with numerous affiliated enterprises. The United States Postal Service tried to stop the circulation of MANUAL, TRIM, and GRECIAN GUILD PICTORIAL, but he took them to court and won the case on appeal in the U.S. Supreme Court (Manual Enterprises Inc. v. J. Edward Day) in 1962. This ruling changed the definition of obscenity and its relationship to gay pornography.

[AMERICANA - 19th CENTURY EPHEMERA] AMERICAN COW MILKER MACHINE POSTER, ORIGINAL. Buffalo, NY: Express Printing Company for the American Cow Milking Machine Co. [n.d. ca. 1865]. 42 x 26 3/4 inches. Woodblock printing: Boldest typeface measures 10 inches tall. L. O. Colvin's "American Cow Milker" was patented in 1860 as the first use of teat cups with a vacuum. The milker was used in England, but the constant vacuum pressure caused problems with the cows' teats. He sold the patent in England for about $5,000, after selling over 1,500 machines. He continued to make improvements and was more successful in America where this undated broadside was published. "Triumphant Success | The Most Important and Valuable Invention of the 19th Century" proclaims the headline; the company is seeking business men to invest/sell the machines; the farmer is being courted. "A sure cure for aching hands & kicking cows." Several archival tape repairs to reverse with no loss of text. Heavy newsprint stock, printed in black.…

Folio (12 1/2" x 8 1/2") bound in later quarter calf over green marbled boards.The first page is captioned "Títulos y sucesiones de la casa llamada de Santa Inés, situada a la entrada de la ciudad de Tlalpan," or "Title deeds and inheritances of the house named after Santa Inés, situated at the entrance of the city of Tlalpan." The volume contains numerous documents which trace the succession of owners, sellers, and heirs of a house and orchard in San Agustín de las Cuevas, a town in colonial Coyoacán. It later came under the jurisdiction of Tlalpan in the national period, where it remains today. An introduction summarizes its contents; followed by a bill of the sale of the house by the bachiller Fr. Ventura de Medina y Picaso to Diego Bravo de Monera in 1688. Medina had dubbed the house Casa Santa Inés, a name that stuck. After several other buyers and heirs, the volume ends with a deed from 1839. The documents…

The pages are white, crisp and clear of any markings. "This is a history of the visual arts produced in the geographical area that now constitutes the United States. Such a book is difficult to title. A History of United States Art sounds awkward and logically might even be construed to exclude the arts of the colonial period. Thus, with apologies to our northern and southern neighbors, I use the title A History of American Art, knowing full well that the terms America and the United States are not synonymous...." - Preface from A History of American Art
