1800List2802London United Kingdom 1800. Single four page letter measuring 4 ½ x 7 inches. Near fine. Frances Anne “Fanny†Kemble 1809–1893 was a British actor writer and later abolitionist. After her initial retirement from acting she married Pierce Mease Butler maternal grandson of American Founding Father Pierce Butler. Butler and Kemble lived in Philadelphia but Butler had been deeded three large plantations—and the people enslaved on them—on Butler Island in Georgia. Kemble finally saw the plantations for herself several years into their marriage and during this time wrote Journal of a Residence on a Georgian Plantation in 1838–1839 which was critical of the conditions of the enslaved people. Butler forbade Kemble to publish the Journal; the two divorced but it was not published until 1863.<br /> <br /> Offered here is a letter from Fanny Kemble to a publisher or newspaper editor about printing her response to a statement in an article about American slavery likely written following her return to London in 1877. Kemble is frustrated about not having received a reply to her initial note to the publisher which was:<br /> <br /> “in consequence of an article which appeared to me extremely likely to the public judgement upon the subject of American slavery – I was extremely anxious to offer some reply to the statement in that article & wrote to you to beg you could tell me whether you would receive & publish such a communication from me . it contained some references to my own private circumstances which I intended for you & no one else.â€<br /> <br /> Of interest to scholars of the abolitionist movement especially women abolitionists. unknown

Oblong 4to. 24 original photographs all preserved in archival mylar sleeves sized 6.25 x 7 in. up to 8 x 10 in. some w/ photographer’s imprint w/in negative others w/ manuscript captions added a few w/ annotations and/or photographer’s instructions on versos all with bright strong contrast a few w/ offsetting from previous mounting on versos and one w/ very small pinholes at corners from prior mounting. Recent cloth binder stamping front cover excellent grouping. These photographs vividly document the dance and music studio operated by Annabelle Knowles reflecting the fast evolving costumes and aesthetics of the twilight of the Roaring 20’s as the U.S. descended into the Great Depression. These photos also clearly reflect the influence of Gus Edwards 1879-1945 vaudeville’s premier producer of kiddie acts and who had produced and released the shorts “Kiddie Revue†in 1930 and 1931. His influence was not only driven by his songs “By the Light of the Silvery Moon & “School Days†but also discovering such stars as Groucho Marx Eddie Cantor Mae Murray Sally Rand and many others. The images depict girls in two-piece outfits in front of Art Deco staging for “Body and Soulâ€; bare-backed girls in Flapper Era inspired costumes for chorus line “Kiddie Revueâ€; song and dance routines featuring Ronald Chetwood in top hat with Marcile Shillito Virginia Collins and chorus line in Jazz Age era costumes and canes; and several show Barbara Jane Wicks Shirley Jay Mulkey and Sunny Dentler in Spanish inspired costumes for “Baby Vanities.†Another shows adolescent boy and girl dance team in an “Apache†dance inspired costume number. The Hollywood College of Music Dance & Fine Arts offered classes and instruction in all ages with the last few photos showing teenage girls in chorus line with short hair coquettish expressions and teamwork or chorus line numbers. Annabelle Knowles 1900-1989 was a musician and dancer who founded the Hollywood College of Music Dancing & FIne Arts at 4112 NE Sandy Blvd. some time in the late 1920’s. Most of the street directory references focus on 1929-1932 and her British-America theatre-director husband at the time Vincent Knowles 1883-1944 worked at the studio as well. Baker 1882-1972 was a longtime commercial studio photographer in Portland OR who had initially begun as a photographer with noted tourist travel guide Howard Eaton photographing tours through National Pakrs. Beem 1892-1984 was founder and photographer at Granada Studio located in the 1930’s at 515 Swetland Building in Portland. Centlivere 1878-1964 owned and operated La Vere Photo Shoppe and Photo Craft Studios on Sandy Blvd. in Portland for nearly all of his career. We could find no similar collections or photographs or even references to Annabelle Knowles and very few examples of any of these three photography studios in institutional holdings.

Stiff limp beige covers black cloth spine title mounted on front cover scutting edgewear repair to corners of front cover corner still a remarkable manuscript w/ tipped-in instructions for taking measurements and fashion by the Nazi Party on first leaf including one entitled “Ein Modewart macht Propaganda.†This German fashion pattern tailoring and pattern manuscript provides an exceptional original artifact of the period when the Nazi Party began to force educational and cultural changes upon German Society against the tailoring and fashion industry in Germany during the early 1930’s. By 1930 Berlin had emerged as an international fashion capital drawing Parisian fashion designers and most of the tailoring schools and fashion houses were operated by generations of Jewish family owners. Tailors and fashion designers were constantly reminded that they must create a wholly Aryan fashion and that they were to avoid French or other outside influences. Despite the pressure most women tailors and fashion designers in the tailoring or cutting schools continued to still draw their influences from Parisian and American couturiers by creating their own patterns and pattern books from which these internationally themed clothing designs could be made. This fashion pattern book by Bode focuses on women’s suits skirts capes coats and knickerbockers. However the Party never succeeded in creating a unique Fashion industry especially because of the drive to dress women in peasant costumes or uniforms even as the Nazi Party would confiscate the assets of over 2700 Jewish fashion houses retailers and manufacturers with 1000’s of tailors and seamstresses forced into labor and concentration camps to produce clothes for military and high society.

Isabel and Monroe Smith a married couple from Northfield Massachusetts started the American Youth Hostel movement in 1933 after gaining inspiration from Richard Schirrman’s German Hosteling Organization. The movement grew quickly with thirty hostels operating throughout New England within the first year. The first hostel was the Northfield Chateau a large mansion on Birnham Road that was eventually demolished in 1963. The network of chaperoned hostels created the opportunity for safe bicycle-based travel as shown in the posters offered here. <br /> <br /> Offered here are three early posters from the movement designed by Isabel Smith each with her signature in the image. All posters are variations on the cycling theme. One of them states that “When the grand day’s bicycling is done… no fare can compare with the Royal ‘Hostellers’ Own.†Smith’s design aesthetic is quite accomplished and we are surprised to find no examples of these in institutional collections.

186813053Puebla: Imp. de N. Bassols dirigida por I. Boclar 1868. 3162pp. Contemporary light green cloth gilt spine titles. Minor edge wear light soiling to boards. Sam black ink signature to title page last page of text and Index leaf. Very good. The very rare first Mexican edition of a popular Spanish work authored by Don Severo Catalina del Amo 1832-1871 a Spanish professor of Hebrew studies who was admitted to the Royal Spanish Academy in 1861. In his "Notes for a Book" on "The Woman" Severo Catalina expounds on various aspects of the character of women in chapters on education modesty pride "virtue and mysticism" love marriage maternity widowhood "the religious profession" charity poverty social gatherings and more. The work opens with the 1858 prologue to the first Madrid edition written by Ramon de Campoamor which begins with a question that seems to go to the heart of the work: "Is this book an apology for women or a libel against the female sex" A decade passed before the work appeared in Mexico interesting for studying the transmission of popular Spanish works to Latin America in the latter half of the 19th century.<br /> <br /> Early Spanish editions of La Mujer are rare but this "Primera edicion Mexicana de la Tercera Espanola" is almost unheard of. OCLC reports just a single institutional copy at the Daniel Cosío Villegas Library of El Colegio de México. This Puebla imprint is a somewhat shaky production with numerous mistakes in the page numbers but nonetheless interesting bibliographically. Imp. de N. Bassols dirigida por I. Boclar unknown

Bookplate on front pastedown; ink stamp and pencil ownership inscription on title page. Internally clean. Originally published in 1824 by Ackermann in London this was one of several texts produced for export to the Spanish-speaking American market. Meant for the education of the fairer sex this work was more specifically targeted at the young women of Buenos Aires. Written under the fiction of a female "author" the book compares the education of women in America with that in Europe. The author criticizes the French model centered on the art of pleasing and favors the English one based on moral instruction. The work contains twelve letters addressing different aspects of women's education: moral intellectual domestic physical and religious within a traditional framework that emphasizes domesticity household care and obedience. There were several subsequent editions including Mexico in 1851 Havana in 1863 and the present edition. All are quite scarce. We locate this edition in a single copy at Syracuse University. unknown

Folio. Contemporary brown vinyl scrapbook string tied. Minor overall wear some old tape stains to most items some items apparently re-mounted likely by a later friend or family member. Overall very good. A wonderful scrapbook celebrating the professional career of Evelyn Lorraine Thompson 1948-2005 on-air reporter and news anchor for KOOL-CBS Radio and Television and KTVK-TV in Phoenix Arizona in the 1970s. Thompson worked for KOOL straight out of college after graduating from Boston University in 1972. She was hired as a writer-producer for morning newscasts then worked as a full-time news reporter. Unusual for the era Thompson also served as KOOL's weekend sports reporter. She later moved to KTVK-TV also in Phoenix where she worked as a news anchor. We could find no other information about Thompson following about 1980 except for her brief obituary in the Arizona Republic.<br /> <br /> The present scrapbook provides a valuable snapshot of Thompson's life and early career through a range of original photographs showing her as a child but with the majority showing her during her working years at KOOL and KTVK. The album also includes numerous letters to Thompson from a variety of correspondents thanking her for stories congratulating her for her positions at the news news releases and other documents announcing her personal appearances newspaper clippings when Thompson appeared in the paper either for a story or as the subject of a story and so forth. The scrapbook even includes the prompt copy of a speech given by her before sorority students at Northern Arizona University. For a deeper look at her life as a reporter or anchor a number of additional prompt copies of some of Thompson's stories are gathered in a manila envelope laid into the scrapbook. The scrapbook also includes award certificates most notably her award as one of the "Outstanding Young Women of America" in 1973. Altogether a unique assemblage of original materials documenting a trailblazing Black reporter and news anchor in the contemporary American West. unknown
187112986New York: May 13 1871. 16pp. printed in three columns on folio newsprint. Some dust soiling chipping and wrinkling to edges of outer leaves especially along spine costing a handful of letters and words on the front page adhesive remnant in contents section costing or obscuring a few words top of spine on last few leaves chipped just touching a few words. Internally quite clean. Good condition overall. A rare early and impactful issue of Woodhull & Claflin's Weekly the newspaper owned and edited by the most famous American suffragist siblings of the 19th century Victoria Woodhull and Tennie C. Claflin. This issue is particularly interesting for an endorsement printed across the top of the second and third columns on the front page reading: "The Cosmo-Political Party. Nomination for President of the U.S. In 1872. VICTORIA C. WOODHULL. Subject to Ratification by the National Convention." Woodhull's nomination would indeed be ratified by the Cosmo-Political Party after being renamed the Equal Rights Party about a year after the present issue was published on May 10 1872 signaling a singular moment in American politics. Though she was technically too young to assume the office had she won Woodhull became the first woman ever nominated for President of the United States. Interestingly she chose as her running mate the esteemed Frederick Douglass but he refused to acknowledge or participate in the campaign.<br /> <br /> Still Victoria Claflin Woodhull 1838-1927 was a force of nature in 19th-century American politics journalism finance and society. In addition to her landmark nomination for the White House Woodhull was the first woman to testify in front of a Congressional committee arguing that the 14th and 15th Amendments already entitled women to vote and the first woman to head a Wall Street brokerage firm after befriending and then learning investing from the feet of Cornelius Vanderbilt. The newspaper she owned and operated with her sister was one of her most important contributions to American life. In it they printed articles in favor of women's suffrage spiritualism communism the weekly published the first English-language edition of Karl Marx's The Communist Manifesto free love equal rights and other important progressive issues. Though Woodhull's popularity would decline in the late-1870s due to the radical nature of her views and an obscenity charge stemming from publication of a story about an affair between Henry Ward Beecher and one of his congregants she continued to work in support of women's suffrage and publish periodicals even after relocating to England. She lived out her elderly years in the English countryside where she died in 1927.<br /> <br /> This front page presidential endorsement appears on a handful of issues of Woodhull & Claflin's Weekly from March through May 1871 but this seems to have ceased in the summer of 1871 when the newspaper changed to a four-column format. The present issue also includes articles on motherhood suffrage "The Marriage Question" "Moral Journalism" the Cosmo-Political Party itself and more. May 13 unknown
1899List805Los Angeles and Vicinity 1899. Oblong quarto green cloth 11 ¾ x 5 ¾ inches with 98 photographs. Very Good. Frances Coulter the daughter of a department store magnate in turn-of-the-century Los Angeles was a socialite who regularly made the society pages of Los Angeles newspapers. The collection of photographs here - preserved in their original oblong green cloth album - give a candid look at upper class California in the 1890s. The bulk of the images show Frances and her friends in varied scenes of society gaiety: dressed formally on the beaches staging goofy scenes including a mock proposal drinking from a water hose and many scenes involving costumes and umbrellas. Some of the photographs interestingly were taken with a Kodak No. 2 camera which was in production until 1895 producing distinct circular images. Some of the scenes show the beaches of Santa Monica. Overall the collection offers an uncommon look into Los Angeles at the end of the 1890s when the city had only 100000 residents. Frances's father B.F. Coulter was a minister from Kentucky and some of the photographs show the Coulters at home. A very good collection images with slight fading album with a slightly musty odor but overall well preserved. books
16170Photos and ephemera focused on the first assimilation schools. 8 photos show students at the Chilocco School in Oklahoma 3"x5" inches. By the end of the 19th century since there was no more Western territory to push them towards the U.S. decided to remove Native Americans by assimilating them. In 1885 Commissioner of Indian Affairs Hiram Price explained the logic: "it is cheaper to give them education than to fight them." As part of a federal push for the assimilation of native Americans special boarding schools were set up. These institutions forbid Native American children from using their own languages and names as well as from practicing their religion and culture. They were given new Anglo-American names clothes and haircuts and told they must abandon their way of life. In Ohio the Chilocco School at once aimed to prove the equality of Native peoples by providing their children with an education and opportunities outside the Reservation and to suppress the Indiginous culture. Some parents were swayed by the argument that the best chance of success for their tribes lay in their children learning to read and write in English despite the great risk of sending children to boarding schools where they might contract western diseases to which they had no immunity. By 1910 when these photographs of students around the Chilocco Indian School were taken the boarding schools were already waning in popularity. Additionally the only known surviving artifact from Eufaula Female Seminary a college for female teachers in Oklahoma catering to the Creek Nation; this piece is a graduation invitation to the 1889 commencement. Eufala was one of the first to offer higher education to Native American girls. unknown books

Published by the oob collective which originally consisted of Webb Marlene Wicks Heidi and Nan Steffens Norma Lesser and Nancy Ferro OOB was produced as a general newssource often with themed issues with a radical feminist slant. Among the most notable columns present here is "Survival" a nonsexist how-to guide covering spermicides nutrition fertility and home breast exams.

1920List330New York: Arnold Genthe 1920. Silver gelatin print 6 ¾ x 9 ¼ inches on larger mount. Signed by Genthe on the mount inscribed by Marlowe as Marlowe Sothern on the mount as follows: “To Jean: our little comrade on our walks in Beautiful Stockbridge. In remembrance also of 'Sun Yat Sen' and Choo-Chio Chow. September. 1940. Julia Marlowe Sothern. Very Good. An uncommon image of the actress feminist and suffrage advocate Julia Marlowe who adopted the name - though never legally - Julia Marlowe Sothern after working with the Shakespearean actor E.H. Sothern. Ill health led Marlowe to retire from the stage in 1924 and she was seldom seen in public. This photograph inscribed later in her life is an uncommon relic from her reclusive later years. We can find no record of a Jean or the names mentioned. <br /> <br /> Arnold Genthe who famously photographed the San Francisco Earthquake of 1906 from the site of his destroyed studio moved to New York in 1911 where he became a portrait photographer. He most likely took this picture in his stint on the east coast. We find no other record of this specific portrait of Marlowe. Some silvering at margins otherwise excellent with some light normal tanning to mount. Arnold Genthe unknown

19163202London: The Scientific Press 1916. First edition. Very Good . Scarce first edition of a Red Cross manual designed both for emergency workers and women in the home. Original publisher's cloth binding titled in red on spine and front board. Boards a bit rubbed and soiled corners bumped. Faint offsetting to the endpapers. Inscribed by Edith Newsome on the front pastedown: "With the Author's Compliments Edith Newsome. 16.10.23." A scarce book institutionally and in trade OCLC reports only 11 copies in libraries this being the only one currently on the market. <br/><br/>Edith Newsome's first major work on nursing produced after she realized that her Red Cross lecture series could not provide complete enough information to train "those who have so nobly responded to the 'call of duty'; to do all that is in their power to tend and succour the brave men of our nation by proving themselves valuable and intelligent helpers." Indeed Newsome's work was released two years into World War I -- the first modern war which brought with it a horrifying number of previously unknown injuries and ailments. In addition to professional nurses women enrolled to assist as Volunteer Aid Detachments VADs because there simply were not enough women with medical educations to serve the nation's need. The present work is a stirring acknowledgement of this. Comprehensive in training VADs and new nurses in field operations it also contains information for women in the home who confronted infection illness or injury and served as domestic caretakers for men returning from the front.
