186713090Morrison WI 1867. Broadside 26.75 x 20.25 inches printed on thin paper. Old folds some creasing edges occasionally a bit frayed with a few small nicks or tears a couple of minor losses along folds. Overall very good condition. A striking and seemingly unique surviving broadside advertising a January 26 1867 lecture by Clara Barton entitled "War & Incidents of Army Life" part of a popular post-Civil War lecture series she delivered across the United States. Barton spent two years touring and recounting her battlefield experiences which helped popularize her and fund her subsequent efforts to locate missing soldiers. The present lecture was delivered to the Young Men's Literary Association of Morrison Wisconsin at the local Concert Hall. In addition to the bold title containing the relevant information on the lecture and the information on obtaining tickets at the bottom much of the lower portion of the broadside prints several laudatory "Recommendations" from various entities in Indiana and other locations in Wisconsin including a January 7 1867 review from The Milwaukee Sentinel. Noted temperance lecturer John B. Gough also praises Barton's lecture stating that "I never heard anything more touching more thrilling in my life."<br /> <br /> Typographically the broadside is interesting for employing several sizes of fonts likely wooden type especially near the bottom of the Recommendations section where the printers needed to reduce the size of the font to fit in the entirety of a quote from The Daily Wisconsin as well as a line in the smallest font from the Concert Hall promoter noting that the foregoing group of recommendations is "enough" and praising Barton for her "noble character which she has won by her efforts to ameliorate the sufferings of our sick and disabled soldiers."<br /> <br /> Clara Barton 1821-1912 was a noted educator and humanitarian who helped distribute needed supplies to the Union Army during the Civil War and later founded the American Red Cross. Barton garnered nationwide recognition for her efforts during the war and quickly became known as the "Angel of the Battlefield." After the war Barton's lecture tour brought her in contact with other notables of the day including Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton and also Frederick Douglass who involved her in the suffrage and civil rights movements respectively. In the Fall of 1866 Barton began to lecture on her Civil War experiences in lyceum halls churches town halls and schools. Though she never felt comfortable in front of an audience wherever she spoke Barton was well received. Her contemporary biographer Percy Epler wrote that "a tear-stained multitude thronged everywhere to hear her" as she had made it her mission to show not "the glories of conquering armies but the mischief and misery they strew in their tracks; and how while they march on.some one must follow closely in their steps crouching to the earth faces bathed in tears and hands in blood. This is the side which history never shows."<br /> <br /> From 1866 through 1868 Barton delivered over 200 lectures throughout the northeast and midwest regarding her Civil War experiences. She shared platforms with other prominent figures including the aforementioned Douglass as well as Ralph Waldo Emerson William Lloyd Garrison and Mark Twain. She often earned $75 to $100 per lecture. Original broadsides advertising her lectures especially of this size are exceedingly rare to say the least. We could locate just a single result in auction records of a much smaller example and OCLC reports just one institutional holding of any Barton lecture broadside again much smaller for an 1867 event in New Haven located at the Library of Congress. unknown

1945190883East of the Rhine: Headquarters XVIII Corps Airborne Office of the Corps Commander APO 109 U.S. Army; Reproduced by 3060 Engr. Topo. Co. Corps around late April 1945. The last airborne operation of the Second World War Copy number 70 of an unstated but presumably small distribution classified "secret". As part of the advance on Germany Varsity saw American British and Canadian troops parachute onto the eastern bank of the Rhine and establish a deep bridgehead for a larger-scale Allied crossing of the river. The contents dated 25 Aprill 1945 comprise a 12-page report and shorter summary both issued in the name of Major-General Matthew Ridgway commander of XVIII corps from August 1944. These detail the planning and active phrases of the operation attributing Varsity's success not to "the remarkable circumstance of having events develop according to schedule but rather by the thousands of individuals who through bold and aggressive action by tireless and intelligent efforts caused those events to occur. It may well serve as a model for future airborne operations" pp. 11-12. The full report is appended with a troop list correct as of 25 March 1945 and the seven large maps record the overall objectives of the operation and the situation at the close of each day. We have traced copy 60 at the HQ Donovan Research Library Fort Benning Georgia. Quarto 350 x 220 mm. With 9 leaves of duplicated typescript all but one printed both sides wire-stitched top-left; 7 folding colour plans. All bound through punch-holes between manila card cover as issued front cover lettered in black corps insignia in blue. Folder with some wear and marking leaves evenly browned plans well-preserved: a very good copy. unknown
1979158855Sichuan: Sichuan sheng xinwen tupian she 1979. First edition first printing unrecorded institutionally and uncommon in commerce with the original envelope of this pack of materials for cadres to stage pop-up anti-Vietnam exhibitions in workplaces and community spaces. Small displays addressing current domestic and international issues were everyday sights in 1970s China. Issuing pre-made sets minimized the risk of overworked local officials preparing their own propaganda in a hurry and inadvertently deviating from the "party line". The present example includes 14 evocative images including of displaced overseas Chinese forced to leave Vietnam people injured by the army contested territory along the Sino-Vietnamese border and an injured Chinese soldier undergoing surgery. Octavo. Title poster printed in brown captions printed in red. 14 photographic prints 150 x 201 mm each numbered within the negative 250 x 380 mm folding title poster two folding sheets of captions 262 x 380 mm and 262 x 195 mm all housed in original 235 x 183 mm brown paper envelope lettered in red with set number "9015" stamped in blue ink.

19191881971919. The nuts and bolts of the air war in the desert Superbly detailed visual record of the RAF's central logistical hub for the Middle East theatre serving the region from Egypt to the Hejaz. The depot offered complete servicing from erection out of the crate to scrapping after strike off. Images include personnel groups exteriors and interiors of workshops warehouses hangars and auxiliary buildings: a complete survey of the staffing and facilities of the complex. The prints are of striking quality the images sharply focussed and crisply printed rewarding close examination under a lens with a wealth of detail. Perhaps the most arresting photographically are the shots of the storage spaces unoccupied aisles extending into the distance filled with fastidiously ordered ranks of parts; a touch uncanny but effectively evocative of scale and rigorous organization. Based at RAF Aboukir Abu Qir near Alexandria X AD was the largest such facility in the region part of a complex including an airfield home base for a flight school and several training squadrons - craft where identified Nieuports and SE-5s bear tail numbers assigned to regional trainers - all of which continued in use until the end of WWII. The present copy is uncaptioned but comparison with records of the two copies traced through auction - the only others found - it is possible to identify a number of the images: various groups of personnel HQ staff carpenters fitters stores staff football and gymnastics teams; the headquarters buildings; tool stores; the contents of the parts stores encompassing small fabric pieces aircraft fittings spare wings and planes motor machine-gun engine and balloon spares; the depot's motor transport vehicles mainly Crossley tenders; the base tennis courts; the engine-erecting shop; outdoor engine testing; hangars; the riggers' shop dismantling shop dope shop and salvage hangar. Landscape album 195 x 260 mm containing 66 original official gelatine silver prints including title page 100 x 155 mm some with light sepia toning mounted on 34 leaves of greyish yellow light card. Cord sewn into greyish yellow light card wraps. Covers worn creased and stained with some areas of loss to the extremities; but the contents clean and sound the photographs themselves crisply defined and with great tone; very good. paperback

1918232931918. Warren W. Heyser archive of 178 letters and envelopes chiefly 1918-1919 and spanning 1914 through the late 1920s addressed to Antoinette Mertz in Newark New Jersey. Many letters are written on Army and Navy Young Men's Christian Association "With the Colors" stationery; others are in commercial hotel envelopes from Pittsburgh Baltimore Buffalo Indianapolis Toledo Youngstown Cleveland and Cincinnati.<br /> <br /> The wartime letters place Heyser at Baltimore Camp Meade and Camp Zachary Taylor during the final year of American mobilization and its aftermath. From Baltimore in 1918 he writes "Sudden changes have overcast my life and to-day am now a member of army" adding "About 300000 leave here to-morrow for France" and "About 50000 men here. The camp is 5 miles square." From Camp Zachary Taylor also in 1918 he writes "Have been in this camp for about two weeks and find it the hardest camp of all" and describes field artillery training: "We arise at 5:15 A.M. and last period closes 8:45 P.M. and every minute is taken up and believe me we are kept on the jump."<br /> <br /> Heyser's Camp Meade letters describe depot-brigade processing recruit intake class mixture fatigue and preparation for overseas assignment. One 1918 letter states "A camp is like huge machinery. One part takes care of new men and about one months time they are assigned to permanent co's then sent over seas after few months in their regular co." Another reads "Must say though this is rather hard task to convert a citizen into a soldier and as soon as he is properly fit he is sent on and a new batch of about 100 come under my hand." A further Camp Meade letter notes "The drafters are rolling into these camps by the thousands" while a July 1918 letter records that "About 1/4 of men are absolutely filthy" and that "fellows from very best families in country university graduates are likewise to be found here."<br /> <br /> The correspondence also records wartime news and return from service. A 1918 Pittsburgh letter refers to the Eddystone Chemical Company explosion: "No is the town of Oakdale probably during the big Explosion of the Eddystone Chemical Co. No doubt you read same in paper this AM. Several hundred killed and 100 injured." After the armistice a 1919 Indianapolis letter reads "This is like a note from the dead" followed by "Am now back on home soil and soon as possible will be on my way." In another 1918 Camp Meade letter Heyser writes "However I sincerely hope your nephew never grows up to become a soldier in Uncle Sam's Army for such life is very far from representation.". unknown
