1936Cat333N.p.: International News Photos 1936. Press photograph 8 x 10 inches by Arthur Rothstein distributed by International News Photos with original caption on verso dated 1936. Minor edge wear and toning to caption else very good. In the mid-1930s prolonged drought across the Great Plains combined with falling agricultural prices forced thousands of farm families into foreclosure and displacement. The crisis central to what would become known as the Dust Bowl led to widespread liquidation of farms and personal property often through public auctions held under distress conditions.<br /> <br /> Offered here is a stark press image documenting one such sale in Nebraska. The original caption reads in part: “This farm auction shop is typical of the mid-west where farmers driven from their land by the drought are forced to sell at auction their farm machinery household effects in order to procure enough money to move to more fertile spots. The government is aiding the stricken farmers through loans and relief. It is thought that not less than 100000 families may be moved from their farms by the government.†The photograph shows the exterior of a “Sale Room†with equipment and household goods assembled for liquidation. Rothstein working for the Resettlement Administration produced some of the most widely circulated images of rural dislocation during the Depression. Images such as this were distributed through press agencies to illustrate both the severity of the crisis and the federal government’s expanding role in relief and resettlement and were reprinted later. This is an attractive original copy with fine contrast with 1936 press markings verso. International News Photos unknown

19459116District of Columbia: Government Printing Office 1945. Poster 48.3 x 53 cm. folded as issued. Government Printing Office document 1945--O-629743. A government-issued poster encouraging Americans to grow victory gardens to support the war effort. The poster depicts an arrangement of various vegetables including peas in the shell cabbage and carrots in the foreground. In the background is a view of a garden with a man and woman cultivating and weeding. In an official wartime activity begun two and a half decades earlier in the Great War Americans were urged to supplement the food they had available for personal use by planting vegetable gardens both to support the war effort and due to food shortages and rationing. The gardens known as "victory gardens" were promoted widely by both the government and industry. Gardens were planted during World War I as well but were called "war gardens" until the end of the war when the term "victory garden" came into use. Creased at the folds otherwise very near fine.

1927172731Likely Beijing: Jinghan tielu guanli ju before 1927. From bustling Beijing to historic Hankow First edition first printing of this guide to the towns and counties traversed by the Peking-Hankow railroad China's first long-distance railway line and the lifeblood of the country's modernizing economy. Aimed at the armchair traveller and tourist alike the parts discuss scenery local customs important historical events and matters of cultural interest The Peking to Hankow railway was built as a co-operative venture between the Imperial Chinese Railway Company and the Belgian China Railway Survey Company. The German engineer Heinrich Hildebrand was engaged to survey the 1500-mile route and in June 1898 the contract was awarded to a Belgian syndicate. Bonds worth 112 million Francs were issued to French investors to raise the necessary finance. Construction began at both ends of the line and progressed at a rate of 500 metres per day. The first trains began to run on sections of the track in 1901 and in 1902 the Empress Dowager Cixi made her triumphant return to the capital using part of the line. Four years later construction was finally completed. An engineering triumph the project facilitated unprecedented levels of commercial and leisure travel between north and central China. The title evokes the long history of the Beijing and Hankow regions by referring to them as "Yan" and "Chu" the names of their equivalent Zhou dynasty states. This guide was issued the Peking-Hankow Railway Administration Chinese: Jinghan tielu guanli ju. In 1927 Chiang Kai-Shek's government established its capital at Nanjing and the name of the route was changed to "Beiping-Hankow Railway" providing a terminus ante quem for the date of publication.
