Scarce. Cover art by Utah artist John Held Jr.<br /> <br /> Utah Artist John Held Jr. 1889-1958 was a prominent illustrator of the 1920s and 1930s. He began by drawing sports and political drawings for The Salt Lake Tribune when he was just 16 years old. Held moved to New York City in 1910 where he went on to gain notoriety for his drawings in the popular magazines "Life" "The New Yorker" "Vanity Fair" "Judge" and "College Humor." His work epitomized the Jazz Age. He is most recognized for creating the short-haired "flapper."<br /> <br /> The cover of this publication features one of Held's maps. Held's maps illustrate the diversity of his art while at the same time serving to demonstrate Held's interpretation of various notable places and things. Kori Alexander writes in his article entitled Relevant Magic in the Art of John Held Jr. "While it was Held's caricatures of the young college chaps and flapper girls that earned him public notoriety it was his linoleum cuts and pen and ink maps that fortified his legitimacy as a social commentator."

14976Inventor of the landmark computer game Pong. Type Script Signed by Higinbotham 3 page -1990 "Invention and Technology Magazine" article by Frederic D. Schwartz about Higinbotham's role in the origin of computer games. <br/><br/>Schwartz's article begins "Remember Pong In 1972 it became the first succesful video-arcade game.In reality though it was invented in 1958 in a laboratory in then-rural Upton New York by a man named William Higinbotham." According to this article Higinbotham was integral to the birth of successful modern video games as the article explains that "Higinbotham was in charge of instrumentation design at Brookhaven National Research Laboratory BNL a government supported nuclear-research facility.To assure people that they were in no danger and that their crops would not mutate the laboratory ran tours to show how useful important and safe its research was." Higinbotham's contribution based on his desire " to liven things up" was computer based "tennis game with the court displayed on an oscilloscope's screen. For a man who had helped develop the first radar systems and designed timing devices for the Manhattan Project's atomic bomb it was a simple matter to plan the necessary circuitry and within a couple of days the game was finished." So Pong was born. As the article explains however Higinbotham was in a difficult position regarding the game's ownership. As a government employee he could not register a patent in his own name as "Uncle Sam would have owned it." <br/><br/>Higinbotham who had "witnessed the first test detonation at Los Alamos" and was "determined to reduce the awesome threat that nuclear weapons posed to the world" had attempted to create a game of non-violence. He lobbies and speaks against violent games and nuclear weapons and as the article concludes "It's nice to be the patriarch of Pong. But if current trends continue and his scientific efforts end up leading to a peaceful world Willy Higinbotham will have accomplished something much greater." The typescript is signed on page 3 by Higinbotham in his hand: "Best Wishes William A. Higinbotham Feb.8 1991." An interesting association piece which reveals how work on global issues such as nuclear energy intersected with the invention of peaceful computer technologies designed for diversion and entertainment.

1990149761990. Higinbotham William A. Signed typescript of Frederic D. Schwartz's 1990 article on the origins of early video games documents the role of a nuclear physicist in the development of interactive electronic entertainment later associated with Pong. Higinbotham a scientist at Brookhaven National Laboratory created an oscilloscope-based tennis simulation in 1958 as part of public demonstrations designed to make atomic research accessible and non-threatening during the Cold War. The document situates the origins of video gaming within a government laboratory environment connected to earlier wartime research including instrumentation work linked to the Manhattan Project. The text provides primary evidence of how scientific expertise developed for military and nuclear purposes contributed to the emergence of recreational digital technologies.<br /> <br /> Higinbotham William A. Signed typescript of "Remember Pong" by Frederic D. Schwartz. New York: Invention and Technology Magazine 1990. Three pages signed on page three "Best Wishes William A. Higinbotham Feb. 8 1991." The article opens: "Remember Pong In 1972 it became the first successful video-arcade game. In reality though it was invented in 1958. by a man named William Higinbotham." The text describes Higinbotham's position overseeing instrumentation design at Brookhaven and explains the development of a "tennis game with the court displayed on an oscilloscope's screen." It further notes the institutional context of government employment stating that patent rights would have belonged to the federal government preventing personal ownership of the invention.<br /> <br /> Produced at the end of Higinbotham's life the signed typescript frames early video game history through the perspective of a scientist who had witnessed the first atomic test and later advocated for nonviolence and nuclear restraint. The article connects Cold War scientific culture with the emergence of interactive media emphasizing how technologies designed for warfare and research environments were adapted for public engagement and entertainment. Higinbotham's stated intention to create a nonviolent diversion underscores a countercurrent within late twentieth-century debates over digital media and violence positioning the document within broader discussions of ethics in technology development.
