1862WRCAM48438Corinth Ms 1862. Pencil drawing 13 1/2 x 21 inches. Small tears at right and left edges lower right corner torn away. Small red ink stain on lower edge. Central vertical fold. Light soiling and wear. About very good. An original pencil sketch depicting a crucial moment in the Second Battle of Corinth which took place on October 3-4 1862 probably by war correspondent Alexander Simplot. This drawing was engraved for HARPER'S WEEKLY where its caption puts it in context as depicting the battle's key moment. A single three-cannon Union battery led by Lieut. Henry Robinet had been inflicting heavy casualties on the attacking Confederates. Here the Confederates have stormed the battery and are attempting to take it in hand- to-hand combat. The Federals recaptured the battery later that day leading to a Union victory and a Confederate retreat. The engraving from HARPER'S is included which attributes the sketch to Alexander Simplot though the drawing itself is unsigned. Simplot a native of Iowa was a schoolteacher and artist turned war correspondent. Early in 1862 Simplot began traveling with the army of U.S. Grant which in October was stationed in Tennessee near the Mississippi border. unknown books

Armsey 1918-2008 was the Ford Foundation executive who oversaw grants to universities and colleges in the 1960s with the only requirement that they had to raise matching funds from other sources. At his urging the Foundation added the requirement that colleges and universities could not bar black students. This change caused a number of them including Duke University Vanderbilt University Emory University Tulane University and several major private colleges to admit black students for the first time.

19171993Chicago: Mayhart Studio 1917. Very good. Large panoramic photograph 8 x 90.5 inches. Rolled. Light wear at edges with a couple of small chips and very short closed tears along top edge. minor dust soiling and toning. A fabulous and extremely long panoramic photograph measuring approximately 7.5 feet in length that depicts Camp Bowie in Fort Worth during October 1917. At this time the camp was still under construction but also housed an entire infantry division in training for World War I. Ongoing construction efforts are clearly evident as piles of lumber in various states of organization occupy the field in the center foreground. Already completed barracks and other out buildings occupy the right of the image and thousands of army tents sweep into the background of the center and left portions of the image. A group of standard houses likely for officers and their families is located at the lower left of the image. The photographers Mayhart Studio of Chicago were responsible for a number of military and patriotic views during the United States' involvement in the Great War including the well-known "Living Flag" image of thousands of servicemen composing an American flag.<br/><br/>"Construction of Camp Bowie began on July 18 1917. The camp in the Arlington Heights neighborhood about three miles west of downtown Fort Worth was established by the United States War Department to give training to the Thirty-sixth Infantry Division. Local officials expected financial gain and urged that the camp be located at Fort Worth. Including the adjacent rifle range and trench system the site encompassed 2186 acres. Camp Bowie's greatest average monthly strength was recorded in October 1917 as 30901. For about five months after the departure of the Thirty-sixth for France in July 1918 the camp functioned as an infantry replacement and training facility with monthly population ranging from 4164 to 10527. Shortly after the Armistice on November 11 1918 Camp Bowie was designated a demobilization center. By May 31 1919 it had discharged 31584 men. The heaviest traffic occurred in June when it processed thousands of combat veterans of the Thirty-sixth and Ninetieth Texas-Oklahoma divisions. The demobilization having been concluded Camp Bowie was closed on August 15 1919" -- Handbook of Texas Online.<br/><br/>A quite remarkable photographic document of this short-lived World War I-era army camp in Fort Worth whose grounds and surrounding neighborhood are now touted by the municipal tourism office as "the city's premier commerce corridor." We locate no other examples of this excellent and large panorama. Mayhart Studio unknown books
19171992San Antonio 1917. Very good. Large panoramic photograph 8 x 92 inches. Rolled. Minor wear at edges with one very short closed tear at top edge. Light blemish in negative at center of image. Light dust soiling and toning. An outstanding and extremely long panoramic photograph measuring well over 7.5 feet in length that depicts Camp Travis in San Antonio following its recent opening. Although the camp was open and housing an entire division-in-training at the time of this image the camp was still under construction as evidenced by the organized piles of lumber at the far right of the image and the incomplete barracks building in the center foreground. The panorama nevertheless gives a sense of the scope and size of the training camp with barracks and outbuildings stretching almost as far as the eye can see in the center and left sections of the photograph. Structures are more sparse in the right-hand side of the image both because they as yet unbuilt and because some of the training fields were located in this part of the camp. The photographers Mayhart Studio of Chicago were responsible for a number of military and patriotic views during the United States' involvement in the Great War including the well-known "Living Flag" image of thousands of servicemen composing an American flag. <br/><br/>"On July 15 1917 after its selection as the training site for the Ninetieth Texas-Oklahoma Division of the army Camp Wilson was renamed Camp Travis in honor of Alamo hero William B. Travis. The camp was ready for occupancy on August 25 1917. Additional land was subsequently acquired for vital training facilities and numerous structures were erected by the soldier welfare agencies. Camp Travis comprised 18290 acres of which 5730 were on the main campsite adjoining Fort Sam Houston. The Ninetieth Division was organized at Camp Travis in September and October of 1917. During the summer of 1918 Camp Travis served as an induction and replacement center with an average strength in July of about 34000 White and Black troops. On December 3 Camp Travis was named as a demobilization center. The facility was also designated a local recruiting station and a regional recruit depot in March 1919. Some 62500 troops were discharged at Camp Travis in about eight months. The camp then became the home station of the Second Division. Its service as a separate entity was terminated however upon its absorption by Fort Sam Houston in 1922" -- Handbook of Texas Online.<br/><br/>A quite fascinating view of this enormous World War I-era training camp in San Antonio now a part of the even larger Fort Sam Houston military base on the east side of the city. We locate no other copies of this large and remarkable panorama. unknown books

Mimeo snipes on the verso of three of the photographs. <br/><br/>Inspired by the 1959 short story "Las Babas del Diablo" by Julio Cortazar.<br/><br/>Michelangelo Antonioni's first English-language film marking the beginning of the final phase of his work co-produced by companies in Italy the United States and the United Kingdom and featuring an international cast. The director's brash use of color set design non-standard editing techniques and typical emphasis of atmosphere over plot would carry over into the two major films that followed "Zabriskie Point" 1970 and "The Passenger" 1975. <br/><br/>In his 2009 essay on the film Danny Lyon notes "It is apt that through his established style Antonioni made a movie that is perhaps closest to communicating the myth of the swinging Sixties scene but also the confusion of the time. . Britain's new and very chaotic cultural revolution was perhaps most effectively captured by an Italian."<br/><br/>Winner of the Palme d'Or.
