18787Chicago: Phillips Greenwald & Schmohl n.y. Broadside. Folio 19" X 17½". Good plus. Original single vertical and horizontal mailing folds visible but not weakened; lightly age toned with homely brownish water spots scattered throughout clearly visible but not terribly disfiguring; edges slightly trimmed not affecting his likeness but slightly impeding upon the large "J" at lower left. Near the lithographer's credit at lower left the "Union Label" or seal for the L.I.P. & B.A. appears. A handsome life-size head-and-shoulders three-quarters pose of the up-and-coming ex-judge with "Judge Richard Yates" along the lower margin in a large typeface. Undated but likely 1901. The 40-ish Yates -- who with hair parted down the middle and handlebar moustache would fit nicely into any barbershop quartet -- gazes thoughtfully to the viewer's right. His turn-of-the-century outfit includes a high-buttoning suitcoat open to reveal a vest elaborate striped tie and stiff starched collar -- all nicely accomplished in this fine example of the lithographer's art. Yates had served as a county judge from 1894 to 1897 then won the governorship on the Republican ticket in 1901 serving until 1905 and not seeking reelection; in 1919 he was elected to Congress and served until 1933. Yates' father Richard Sr. 1815-73 served in Congress 1851-55 as Illinois' war-time governor 1861-65 and as senator 1865-71. Despite prominent browning this large and striking image is an appealing and scarce piece of political ephemera. Phillips, Greenwald & Schmohl unknown
1819373739Ordered by The House of Commons to be Printed 24 November London 1819. Hardcover. Very Good Condition. The Papers Relative to the Internal State of the Country presented to Parliament in November 1819 stands as a chilling artefact of post-Peterloo statecraft. Compiled in the wake of the massacre at St Peter's Field the report gathers magistrates' letters intelligence summaries and official correspondence into a narrative of national emergency. Its tone is one of alarm deliberately so. By framing reformist gatherings as seditious and casting radical publications as incendiary the report sought not only to inform Parliament but to justify a sweeping crackdown on civil liberties. It was the rhetorical scaffolding for the Six Acts passed weeks later which curtailed public assembly expanded search powers and tightened control over the press. Beyond its immediate political function the report marks a turning point in the evolution of state surveillance. It reveals an early architecture of information-gathering: local informants intercepted letters and the monitoring of public meetings. Reformers were not just opposed they were watched catalogued and rhetorically transformed into threats. This bureaucratic gaze once reserved for foreign enemies was now turned inward. The document thus offers a glimpse into the birth of domestic intelligence as a tool of governance where the line between public order and political control began to blur. For modern audiences the report resonates not only as a historical record but as a cautionary tale. Its language urgent moralistic and often theatrical reminds us how easily surveillance can be framed as necessity and how dissent can be rebranded as danger. In the shadow of Peterloo it is less a neutral ledger than a curated performance of state anxiety one that continues to echo in debates about liberty protest and the politics of observation.

191743403Copenhague Copenhagen Imp. Martius Truelsen 1917. 1st edition. Original printed paper wrappers 8vo 22 pages 23 cm. In French. Title translates as "The War The Russian Revolution and Zionism." <br> "publie´ par le Bureau d'organisation sioniste a` Copenhague 1917."<br> <br> The Petrograd Conference was the "seventh national conference of the Russian Zionists and the first after the February 1917 Revolution. It opened on June 6 1917. Five hundred and fifty-two delegates representing 140000 shekel holders from 680 cities and towns took part in the conference.<br> In the new Russia the conference demonstrated the growing power of Zionism among Jewry and defined the Russian Zionists' attitude toward the problems of the World Zionist movement and the upbuilding of Erez Israel. It discussed the specific problems of the Russian Jews under the democratic regime with the hope of expanding the movement which up to that time had acted mainly illegally. <br> Jehiel Tschlenow E.W. Tschlenow this imprint's author and Menahem Ussishkin were elected as presidents of the conference. <br> In his programmatic address Tschlenow said that the main task of the conference was to lay the foundations for Jewish national autonomy in Russia as well as to emphasize the Jewish people's aspiration to return to Erez Israel. Ussishkin spoke of the need to immediately mobilize Jewish capital for settlement work especially for the purchase of land and to train pioneer workers.<br> This seven-day conference was the last free countrywide expression of the Russian Zionist movement before the October Revolution of the same year became the starting point of its persecution and liquidation" Arie Rafaeli-Zenziper in EJ.<br> <br> Tschlenow opens his speech with great hope and excitement at the recent revolution welcoming the attendees "to this first meeting in free Russia you who come to publicly proclaim the hope of our people yearning for liberty and rebirth and who come to discuss our future work. Nowhere else it seems to me could we find at present such a resounding echo as in this city where barely three months ago the heavy links of the chain that had bound the life of the immense Empire were broken.<br> For about a century since the glorious advent of the Decembrists the invisible preliminary work had been underway.How much innocent blood was shed! In this blood we are proud to note-there is also some of our own Jewish blood. Well then in this solemn moment let us recall the memory of those who did not have the joy of greeting the present hour this hour that makes up for all sorrows.<br> Only three weeks have passed since Russia won its freedom and the Provisional Government in cooperation with the Soldiers' and Workers' Council washed away the stain that had defiled Russia for centuries. I am referring to the disgrace known as "the deprivation of the rights of the Jewish people." It seemed that this stain had become one with the very flesh of the Russian people and that only blood could remove it. Well no.<br> The great purifying torrent of the Revolution washed away the filth in a single stroke irrevocably and without suffering. The sorrowful history of our people knows no other example of the destruction of such a vast ghetto nor of a liberation established with such simplicity on the one hand and accepted with such dignity on the other. We enthusiastically salute the Provisional Government and beg it to believe in our support and devotion to the heroic work of freedom and greatness for Russia that it has undertaken.<br> On March 21st the weight of a burden under which Russian Judaism had been collapsing was lifted. Our hands so long chained were freed. The immensity of space unfolded before our minds before our eyes still unaccustomed to such splendor. It is precisely at this moment that we the Russian branch of the Jewish people will be able thanks to our accumulated strength and energy to tackle the national edifice the work of addressing the great national problems."<br> <br> He concludes:<br> <br> ".here are the walls of the immense ghetto that have just crumbled. And soon the other ghettos will follow too. Principles of a new life springing from the global struggle carry within them the realization of the most beautiful the most sacred of dreams which has always shone on the painful path of our wandering people.<br> We gentlemen aspire to our place in the sun not only to warm ourselves better but also for other more generous reasons. We are certain that when our people live a normal life on their own soil their national genius will fully unfold; we are certain that then the era will be reborn when they created not only for themselves but also for humanity the era when they produced eternal books and proclaimed eternal truths. A long sunlit road stretches before us. We live by this faith. It is this faith that inspires us. It is with this faith that we will win!"<br> <br> Yefim Vladimirovich Tschlenow 1863-1918 was a "Zionist leader. Born in Kremenchug Ukraine into a well-todo hasidic family Tschlenow studied medicine in Moscow where his family had settled in 1876. He graduated as a physician in 1888 and became a well-known practitioner. <br> The pogroms of 1881 turned Tschlenow from a sympathizer with the revolutionary populists Narodniki into a Jewish nationalist.<br> In 1883 he became active in the Moscow Hibbat Zion group Benei Zion to which Menaem Ussishkin Jacob Mazeh and Abraham Idelson belonged. After some hesitation he joined Herzl 's Zionist Organization and attended Zionist Congresses. <br> Tschlenow presided at the all-Russian Zionist Conference in Minsk in 1902. During the Uganda controversy at the Sixth Zionist Congress 1903 Tschlenow left the hall after the vote in favor of Herzl's proposal and 128 other opposition delegates followed him. He published a series of articles in the Zionist press against the Uganda scheme entitled 'Zion and Africa.' <br> At the Helsingfors Conference 1906 he was an articulate promoter of the idea that the political goal of Zionism must be closely associated with immediate settlement work in Erez Israel and particularly with large-scale purchases of land.<br> From 1908 he was head of the Zionist Movement in the Moscow district and developed extensive activities including the arrangement of meetings and conferences opening of information offices on questions of Jewish education publication of programs for the study of Jewish history and preparation of catalogues for Jewish libraries. <br> In 1909 he organized a group of Russian Jewish investors that established the farm Migdal on the shores of Lake Kinneret. He also actively supported the settlement work of the Odessa Committee. Since the general trend in the Zionist Movement was in this direction Tschlenow's role steadily increased. He was a member of the board of the Jewish Colonial Trust . <br> At the Tenth Zionist Congress he was elected to the Zionist Executive and at the 11th Congress 1911 he was elected vice president of the Executive under Otto Warburg . He moved to Berlin and directed Zionist activities from there. In 1912 he again visited Ere Israel. During this visit he laid the cornerstone of the Haifa Technion as a member of its governing board and purchased the plot of land on which the Hadassah Hospital in Tel Aviv was later located.<br> Forced to leave Berlin at the outbreak of hostilities in 1914 Tschlenow returned to Russia 1915. By the end of that year he was in London for consultations with Naum Sokolow and Chaim Weizmann on the political situation and the program of the movement. During the war he was active in aiding Jewish refugees expelled from the front area by the Russian army command.<br> After the February Revolution in Russia 1917 Tschlenow headed the all-Russian Zionist Convention in Petrograd where he gave this speech. In July 1917 he left for London where he participated in the negotiations that led to the Balfour Declaration. He died in London" Mark Perlman in EJ<br> <br> For more on Tschlenow see is biography S.

The group was founded in London in 1823 by a group of politicians philanthropists and businessmen including William Wilberforce Joseph Sturge and Zachary Macaulay. The document discusses the horrors of enslavement—even unfavorably comparing the British colonies’ conditions with those in the US—and decries the fact that after the 1807 Slave Trade Act essentially nothing more had been done to put “an end to a condition of society which so grievously outrages every feeling of humanityâ€.

1967L2SFGIMNES3FPakistan 1967. Original black half morocco album green cloth sides with title and emblem of the United Bank Limited Pakistan on the front board. An archive of 183 photographs: 133 loose black and white photographic prints ca. 30 x 25 cm 30 smaller ones ca. 5 x 6 cm numbered and mounted together on a single sheet of paper and 20 additional prints in the album. Further with numerous rolls of original medium format negatives. A trove of unpublished photographs depicting two official visits to Pakistan by HH Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. The earlier visit in 1967 is documented by a separate photo album containing images of the visit to Lahore the second largest city of Pakistan from 16 to 28 November 1967. The album opens with a picture of HH Sheikh Zayed arriving in his car; later pictures show him being honoured and presented with an album very similar to the present one and in the company of officials representing Pakistans United Bank Limited UBL. Almost 20 years later in 1986 Sheikh Zayed would donate a hospital to the city now the "Shaikh Zayed Medical Complex" one of the leading medical institutions in Pakistan.The 30 small photographs show an audience with Sheikh Zayed as well as a banquet in his honour attended by various Pakistani dignitaries including Agha Hasan Abedi 1922-1995 the illustrious founder of UBL. These photos apparently clipped from a set of medium format contact prints are mounted on a sheet of coated black photographic paper.The largest set in size and number shows the state visit that took place on 20-22 January 1970 at the invitation of President Yahya Khan 1917-1980. It provides extensive documentation of the large Abu Dhabi delegation being formally received by Yahya Khan who served as president of Pakistan from March 1969 to December 1971. Many show HH Sheikh Zayed shaking hands with and speaking to President Yahya; others show the airport reception formal dinners speeches but also informal conversations members of the delegation handling falcons and numerous high-ranking Abu Dhabi retainers. Among the persons depicted is again Agha Hasan Abedi but there are also several pictures of Butti bin Bishr secretary to Sheikh Zayed and Ahmed bin Khalifa Al Suwaidi the first Minister of Foreign Affairs of the UAE and personal representative of Sheikh Zayed. President Yahya Khan had been "one of the very first international leaders to reach out to Sheikh Zayed after the UAE had been founded and had prior to this in July 1970 been instrumental in creating an agreement to provide technical assistance to the then Trucial States. With the December 1971 union agreement approaching Pakistan was quick to forge even closer ties and Khan had been one of the first foreign leaders to offer his congratulations and reiterate his countrys support when the UAE was born. Full diplomatic ties were then quickly established and Pakistan became one of the first to extend recognition to the new country . All his life Sheikh Zayed had held a personal affinity for Pakistan. He had hunted there extensively came to know the people its culture and lands and enjoyed close ties with leaders" Wilson.From the estate of Azhar Abbas Hashmi 1940-2016 Pakistani financial manager and eminent literary patron with close ties to Karachi University.

1917List1730Chicago: Poole Brothers 1917. Folding map measuring 38 ½ x 26 ¾ inches. Tape repairs to verso some tears at folds and edges still bring and attractive good to very good overall with excellent restoration potential. A map of the canneries in Alaska British Columbia and Washington operated by the Deming and Gould Company who were influential in the growth of the Alaskan salmon trade. The map’s date of printing 1917 suggests that perhaps it was related to the war effort as salmon demand increased during this period. The Demings based in Chicago were influential in the growth of the salmon trade in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest founding Pacific American Fisheries Inc. in 1899 and continuing in various iterations until their sale of the firm in 1934 due to president E.B. Deming’s ailing health. The map shows seventeen different canneries several on the Alaska peninsula and the one in Bellingham.
