Grey and black illustration of an ill soldier wrapped in a blanket in a chair. 24-1/8" x 13-7/8" <br/><br/>Poster advertising a benefit held for the new Veterans Tubercular Hospital in Livermore under the auspices of the East Bay Lodges B.P.O Elks assisted by the War Veterans Bodies of Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. The Elks aimed to raise $15000 in order to build a recreation bungalow/ visitors' area beside the hospital which was still under construction at the time and had failed to include such facilities in the building plans. The Hayward Daily Review quotes D.W. Pierson as saying that "the show will be the very best. Prize acts from the leading vaudeville concerns on the coast have been secured and without a doubt the show will be worth far more than the price advertised" Feb. 21 1925. It is unclear if the Elks achieved their goal. The hospital opened April 13 1925 and was "the first VA west coast facility to include beds for women patients." "50 years: A Look Back. Veterans Affairs Palo Alto Health Care System 1960 – 2010" We find no other survivors on the market and wish this one was in better condition. Priced accordingly. [East Bay Lodges B.P.O.

1950201161950. Homelessness press photography archive 1951 to 1990s documents displaced people in American cities through images of soup kitchens public sleeping spaces roadside survival emergency shelters and encampments. The archive provides primary visual evidence for the study of urban poverty public welfare veteran reintegration housing insecurity and the changing visibility of homelessness in the second half of the twentieth century. Its strongest historical value lies in the range of settings recorded: postwar charitable food assistance men sleeping in parks and public spaces Vietnam veterans gathered beneath highway infrastructure shelter-based aid and women living in vehicles with personal belongings and pets.<br /> The archive consists of eight black-and-white silver gelatin press photographs from the United States dated from 1951 to the 1990s most measuring approximately 7.25 x 9 inches with several retaining original press captions or newspaper clippings mounted on the verso. The earliest image shows a 1951 soup kitchen scene assisting homeless residents. Later photographs show Vietnam veterans beneath an underpass using mattresses and boxes for seating; a Queens New York veterans' shelter where an African American veteran shops for clothing with a staff supervisor; and Gabrielle Mendosa resting on a mattress near the Miami River beside the encampment identified as "Tent City under the Xway." Additional images show men sleeping on park benches or lawns including a scene associated with the Boston Freedom Trail Walk for the Homeless two men attempting to sell recovered household appliances by the roadside and a woman identified as Lynn living in her car with her belongings and dog while seeking assistance.<br /> The photographs are significant because they record homelessness not as a single condition but as a set of lived circumstances shaped by food insecurity military afterlives public space shelter access informal economies and the absence of stable housing. The retained press captions and clippings connect the images to their original journalistic use showing how homelessness was presented to newspaper audiences across several decades. Minor edge wear light handling marks and typical press-photo surface wear; verso caption material and clippings present on several photographs; images remain clear and usable; overall very good. Concentrated documentary archive showing American homelessness from institutional relief to street encampment with particular strength in veteran homelessness and urban public visibility. unknown
