1967154897Peru Indiana: N.p. 1967. Vintage stringbound vernacular photograph album documenting the vehicular obsessions of one Greg Wildrick of Peru Indiana who would ultimately kill four people in a motor vehicle accident and later die himself in the same manner while speeding. Approximately 150 black-and-white photographs and 50 color photographs with manuscript ink annotations captioning most of the images. <br /> <br /> Manuscript ink annotations on the front board provide the album's title: "#1 / Our new cars etc. / Family Too." Additional annotations on the inside rear board note: "The bullshit contained in this so called albumn sic belongs to Greg E. Wildrick / 4 Holiday Drive / Peru Indiana is where I live if you don't know me. Call 472-2550 / If you don't call me forget it!!! / Book Finished March 5 1967 at 4:45 A.M."<br /> <br /> The photographs in the album span roughly 1955 to 1966 compiled by Greg at the age of 19. In addition to many images of the family's muscle cars and trucks the album also contains quite a few shots of bicycles go-karts quarter midgets and speedboats often with family members posing happily nearby. Several images also capture vehicles in use.<br /> <br /> Patently obsessed with cars and speed from a young age Wildrick would go on to work as a used car salesman in nearby Kokomo Indiana throughout the 1960s and 1970s. Wildrick's fanaticism also evidently extended to his leisure hours as the Kokomo Tribune notes Wildrick's involvement in multiple speeding violations during the same period. <br /> <br /> One of the album's more striking photographs taken on December 19 1965 is a blurry color Polaroid of the speedometer of a 1966 Oldsmobile 442 going 110 miles per hour down US Highway 31. This same stretch of 31 would see Wildrick gravely injured and four others dead in a grisly two-car accident five years later in January of 1971. Sadly this would not be Wildrick's last serious accident as a similar collision on US Highway 35 would precipitate his own demise in 1986 at the age of 39.<br /> <br /> A fascinating and thorough album capturing a young man's coming-of-age in a car-centric family and more broadly allowing a personal glimpse into the golden age of the automobile in postwar America. <br /> <br /> 12.75 x 12.25 inches. Photographs ranging from Near Fine to Very Good plus with approximately 18 photographs lightly scuffed cracked toned and edgeworn. Album Very Good plus with light edgewear and scuffing on the boards.

These photo albums faithfully follow the sporting and leisure activities of two gearheads from Chicago -- Walter MacKay and his brother Carrol MacKay who together with their extended families and friends drive and auto-camp across the West. The large first album opens with many photos following a trip to Yosemite National Park as well as scenes along the route and upon the return of Walter & Julia. Their follow-up automobile trip in 1928 takes them to Yellowstone National Park via Spokane Idaho and Montana with photos included of Old Faithful a photo by Haynes of the Grand Geyser as well as auto camping at “Mammoth Hot Springs.†Subsequent photos trace their travels through the Columbia River Gorge the Snake River Mount Rainier National Park Ariel Dam near Ariel WA Hoods Canal WA and Newport OR. Their speed boat launch the Carmen is featured in some photos along with several views of pumps hoisting engines giant diesel and gas engines under repair. Other trips include those to Snoqualmie Falls Trout Lake WA near Mt. Adams working a hoist at logging camp partying with friends in Renton WA and even views of Walter MacKay advertising his Automobile Repair Shop with a cover on his rear tire. Other outings include auto camping and picnicking along the Mt. Hood Loop Grant’s Park on the Clackamas River Mt. Hood the Rogue River Table Mountain and views of Grants Pass. Walter and his gearhead friends were known for their stripped-down roadster racing cars and were also early participants in the Seattle Motorcycle Club and Motorcycle races. A couple photos within the two albums show early motorcycles and even gallivanting on some stripped down chassis without engines or tires. The second album includes a series of photos featuring Walter and his car beneath a towering Cedar Stump with arch cut into the base and him holding gun as well as standing on the fenders of the car. The second also includes automobile camping photos with tent and cots folded out of the rear of the automobile driving into Vancouver B.C. as well as driving to Mount Rainier and more along the Columbia River Highway and Mount Hood.

He owned and operated the MacKay Automotive Repair at 165 E. 39th in Portland OR on the SW corner of 39th Cesar Chavez and Belmont for years before working at Albina Engine & Machine Works at the end of the Great Depression. One of the photos in the 2nd album shows MacKay with his camera shooting a photo and several show Julia MacKay’s 1880-1958 sisters and family.

165640071à Paris: Chez Augustin Courbé 1656. Fine. Chez Augustin Courbé à Paris 1656 - 1658 16.50 x 24 cm relié Fifth edition of Voiture's uvres the first of which appeared in 1648; and first edition of the Nouvelles uvres de Voiture. A frontispiece by Mellan for the first volume a headpiece and an initial in the epistle and a fine portrait of the author by Champaigne engraved by Nanteuil. Contemporary full brown sheep binding. Raised spine richly decorated. Red morocco title label. One missing headcap. Tear with loss to upper joint at foot. Rubbing. Good copy. Voiture 1597-1648 was throughout his life a gallant and a courtier brilliant in salons and playing games. His epistolary talent earned him long popularity in France for fashionable prose and his poetry excels in the mannered and precious tone even though he knew how to be trivial when necessary. He is an essential figure of the literary scene of the early 17th century a true Molière character. Voiture is first and foremost a style not only in his letters Lettres amoureuses and his poetry but also in his prose see for example the delightful Métamorphoses. His works were in the image of the man gallant teaching beautiful language and fine manners to the habitués of the hôtel de Rambouillet. His fame was very great during his century and he remains an emblem for the 17th century. Chez Augustin Courbé unknown

1947List2905United States and Canada 1947. Eleven double-sided scrapbook pages measuring 7 x 11 inches containing forty-five 2 ½ x 3 ½ inch photographs six postcards four maps four guides and nine typed pages. Scrapbook pages fragile with significant marginal damage; scrapbook contents generally excellent. A scrapbook documenting an African-American family’s road trip during July and August of 1947 which took them from Dutchess County New York through Quebec and New Brunswick and then Maine and Cape Cod. The scrapbook contains photographs of the family and scenery on the trip starting at Norrie State Park in Dutchess County then Quebec Gaspé Moncton’s Magnetic Hill in New Brunswick down the coast of Maine and finally a friend’s house in Marstons Mills on Cape Cod. It also includes postcards from various locations; maps of New York Quebec Canada’s Maritimes and Eastern Quebec and New England; tourist guides to Quebec Gaspé Moncton and the Cape; several retyped articles from the Toronto Globe and Mail; and a list of hotels in the Gaspé.<br /> <br /> For an African-American family traveling during the Jim Crow era this trip would have taken significant planning. Canada was not exempt from anti-Black discrimination at both legal and social levels; the car had solved the problem of segregated inferior public transportation but not the problem of finding a restaurant or hotel along one’s route that would actually serve Black patrons or even a safe place to stop and use the restroom. Victor Hugo Green’s Negro Motorist Green Book—a guidebook for food lodging and services that were friendly to African-Americans—did not include Canada until its 1949 edition. The family likely used it for the US leg of their trip but would have had to rely on other tactics for the Canadian leg. unknown

Recent limp black cloth post-binder gilt lettering stamped on front cover an excellent exemplar. This historic photo album records the construction and racing of Lee Chapel’s “Tornado Special†in 1952 at the Bonneville Salt Flats. Lee’s Speed Shop was one of the original members of the Dry Lakes Racers Bonneville 200 MPH Club who held their first meeting in September 1953 at the Bonneville Nationals. The “Tornado Special†was a Class C Streamliner which driven by John “Sonny†Rogers achieved a two-way average speed of 224.144 mph at Bonneville in 1952 featuring an unsprung front end torsion bars at the rear with a novel trunnion arrangement for pivoting the engine fitted with a 295 cubic in. Mercury engine equipped with a Lee’s Speed Shop “Tornado†overhead valve conversion. The front end was built from a 36 Ford and had split radius rods mounted to a tubular frame and the rear end was a reworked 1932 Ford Model A. The Tornado Special crashed in 1953 and the body was left at Bonneville while many of the parts were salvaged. Chapel 1905-1966 opened his first speed shop while sharing space with a junkyard in 1928 at 3263 San Fernando Road in LA which he later moved to 4557 Alhambra Ave. from 1933 to 1937. In 1937 he closed the shop to tour the country racing open wheel midget cars until he reopened his Lee’s Speed Shop at 1143 East 14th St. in Oakland CA. He served during World War II as a TEC4 until discharge in 1945 whereupon he resumed his Speed Shop in Oakland. Lee’s Speed Shop was a pioneer in the southern California Hot Rod scene who along with George Wight blazed the used hot rod parts trail.

19958P., Draeger, 1931, In-4, 26 X 30 cm., reliure à spirale, 40 pp.
1st edition. Original paper wrappers, 16mo (small), 7 pages ; 25 cm (folded to 14 cm in wrappers). "Correspondence between Henry Ford, Louis Marshall and Herman Bernstein. Settlement of Aaron Sapiro's and Herman Bernstein's libel suits" (From the front cover). During the 1920s, Henry Ford gained as much fame for his antisemitic views as for his cars. His newspaper, the Dearborn Independent, published dozens of articles between 1920 and 1925 naming prominent Jewish Americans as conspirators in a plot to overthrow governments all over the world. Though hardly the first of their kind, the accusations in the Dearborn Independent represented the broadest, most sustained published attack on individual Jews and Jews as a group in the nations history. The articles created clear grounds for defamation and libel actions against Ford and the newspaper, and several were filed. In 1927 one lawsuit, Sapiro v. Ford, made it into court, generating international headlines, only to end in mistrial. Ford then disposed of the distasteful affair by signing a statement in which he apologized for the wrongs he had 'unintentionally' done to Jews. Ford's campaign against the Jews, as historians have recognized, reflected the renewed racial tribalism that characterized post-World War I American society (Woeste, Insecure Equality: Louis Marshall, Henry Ford, and the Problem of Defamatory Antisemitism, 1920-1929 in Journal of American History, Dec. 2004). The importance of the end result, here spelled out in this rare period publication, was summarized by Robert Rifkind in his 2008 examination Confronting Antisemitism in America: Louis Marshall and Henry Ford: Putting aside historical revisionism, it becomes clear that the Ford apology achieved a number of things no libel suit could have achieved. First, in broad and unambiguous strokes, Ford repudiated the defamation of Jews in general and not merely the particular claims asserted in the lawsuits. Second, the apology did so with dispatch rather than after further protracted delay. Third, Ford undertook to withdraw The International Jew from circulation both in the United States and abroad, and at least while Marshall remained alive, he seems to have done so. A jury sitting in an action for monetary damages could not have compelled such a result. And finally, a confession, retraction, and apology appearing in Fords name and over Fords signature carried the impressive force of a world-famous mana force that twelve anonymous jurors, easily dismissed as misled by lawyers wiles, could never have had (American Jewish History, Vol. 94, No. 1/2, March/June 2008, pp. 71-90). SUBJECT(S): Antisemitism -- Michigan -- Dearborn. Jews -- Trials (Libel) -- Antise´mitisme -- Juifs -- Proce`s (Diffamation) -- Dearborn independent. OCLC: 264355930.
