1848009349Forsyth County Georgia 1848. Unbound. Very good. <br /><br />In this one-page document bondsmen pledge $100 as a guarantee that: <p style="margin-left:3%; margin-right:3%;">"Adam Campbell shall personally appear before the Superior Court when held for said County on the fourth Monday in August next then and there to answer . . . for and concerning the offence of a Misdemeanor for furnishing a certain negro man slave by the name of Buc the property of one Captain McQuering with spiritous liquor for his own use. . . ."<p>Although during the earliest days of slavery in the American colonies slaves were permitted to use alcohol and beer in ceremonies and rituals that they had practiced in Africa as their numbers increased colonial governments began passing laws regulating the practice. By the middle of the 18th century most colonies were severely limiting slaves' access to liquor "based on the notion that Blacks were too irresponsible to be trusted with the use of alcohol or fear that Blacks would be less accepting of the conditions of their servitude more difficult to control and more prone to violence. Concern regarding mass drunkenness and potential revolt was heightened following Nat Turner's and Denmark Vessey's revolts." See Christmom's "Historical Overview of Alcohol in the African American Community" in <i>Journal of Black Studies</i> Jan. 1995. <br /><br />From the size of Campbell's bond it would appear that he may have previously been convicted for the same crime as in 1848 the Georgia Code specified that if any "person whatsoever shall sell to or furnish any slave . . . spirituous liquor wines cider or any intoxicating liquors for his own use or for the purpose of sale such person so offending shall upon conviction thereof pay a fine of not less than ten dollars nor more than fifty dollars for the first offence and upon a second conviction to be subject to a fine and imprisonment in the common jail of the county at the discretion of the court not to exceed sixty days of imprisonment and five hundred dollars fine. . . ." <br /><br />Rather scarce. At time of listing there are two similar documents for sale in the trade and the Rare Book Hub shows two have been sold at auction. OCLC shows three similar documents are held in institutional collections. <br /><br /> books

Stunning examples by various artists are found in the first half of the book. Paper cut-outs were used for generations for wall and window decorations. The first modern cut-outs were created in 1941 at the Lu Hsun Art Academy. The second part of the book is dedicated to representing this beautiful form of folk-art.

193818999Berlin: Nationalsozialistiche Volkswohlfahrt 1938. Lithograph printed in black and brown on cream stock 42cm X 30cm ca.16.5" X 11.75". Folded vertically at center with marginal toning to extremities and a few small corner creases; Near Fine. Original advertising poster for the Winterhilfswerk or WHW a social relief program designed to provide food clothing coal and other items to needy German citizens during the winter months October-March. The program was instituted under the government of Heinrich Bruning in 1931 though Hitler would ultimately claim sole credit for the idea. Depending on whether an individual was single or married and how many children he or she had recipients were entitled to a weekly/monthly stipend and rations of food and coal to ensure they and their families would neither starve nor freeze. Indeed the program's motto was "None shall starve or freeze." Under Nazi rule all German citizens were required to give to the program - one of Hitler's ingenious ways of uniting the nation. Large donations to the fund were also a means of establishing ones loyalty to the Nazi Party without the commitment of joining it. <br/><br/>The present example explains how to donate to the fund and provides a detailed chart showing exactly how much individual or family recipients could benefit from the program. An attractive survival showing the dynamics of German social welfare. [Nationalsozialistiche Volkswohlfahrt] unknown books
