1972140003Vienna: Werner Herzog Filmproduktion 1972. Vintage German A1 poster for the 1972 film. <br/><br/>Herzog's film is notorious for both its style and its eventful production in which Kinski fired a gun accidentally injuring a crew member and Herzog ostensibly stole a group of monkeys due to ship to the US to use in the famous monkey scene. Despite the chaotic and often contentious production period the film immediately achieved cult status upon its release. Visually striking with minimal narrative and dialogue it follows deranged Spanish soldier Lope se Aguirre's search for the legendary gold city El Dorado. <br/><br/>Shot on location in Peru. <br/><br/>23 x 33 inches folded. Small holograph notation to the verso else Near Fine. A vivid bright poster. <br/><br/>Newman Kim Nightmare Movies: Horror On Screen Since the 1960s US. <br/><br/>BFI. Ebert I. Rosenbaum 1000.

1944WRCAM55481Detroit 1944. Illustrated broadside printed on thick cardstock 21 3/4 x 13 3/4 inches. Soiling chipping closed edge tears and creasing. Good condition. An extraordinary survival - a large-format illustrated fundraising poster for the Detroit chapter of the United Negro College Fund UNCF in the first year of the organization's existence. Though the poster is undated it likely emanates from 1944 the founding and initial fundraising year for UNCF when its national fundraising goal was $1.5 million and the number of schools involved with the group was twenty-seven. The fundraising "quota" for the Detroit area was $75000 as stated here. The poster is printed in brown and green urging potential donors to "help maintain 27 Negro Colleges." Three photographs are printed in brown in the middle of the poster showing a young African- American man in a laboratory "Training for Scientific Production in War and Peace" a young man on a tractor "Education in Action - Training for Food Production" and an image of several men standing on the steps of a government building captioned "Lord Halifax Observes Training for Leadership." Both national committee members including John D. Rockefeller Jr. and the local "Detroit Committee" are listed at the bottom just above a notice that "Workers are Needed" and listings of the address and phone number for the Detroit office. <br> <br> The United Negro College Fund was founded in 1944 to address inequities in higher education funding and opportunities for African-American youth by appealing to the "national conscience." The organization focused on private historically-black colleges and universities and initially sought funding solely from the African- American community. Over the last seventy- five years the organization has grown to assist almost forty schools of higher education and advocate for K-12 education and has raised more than $5 billion to help over half a million students earn college degrees. <br> <br> No copies of this fundraising poster are listed in OCLC nor in any source we can locate. It is a rare surviving artifact from the founding year of one of the most important organizations devoted to African- American higher education.

140939269Detroit: Negro Retail Store Employees Association / The Inner City Organizing Committee. Broadside. Very Good. ca. 1940-1960. Single sheet measuring 9-7/8" x 10 printed on recto only. Top edge rough cut perhaps as issued or with blank margin partially missing. Moderately toned and with a faint vertical crease down the center. Beginning in the 1930s the Don't Buy Where You Can't Work campaign sprung up in northern American cities with black community members protesting against discriminatory hiring practices of targeted white-owned businesses. Such businesses would typically be picketed in order to increase job opportunities and harness the economic power of the community to affect change. This broadside appears to be boycotting three Sears locations in the Detroit area which had "75% negro patronage and less than 10% negro employees in lower paying jobs." Locally this movement was supported by the Detroit Housewives' League activist African American housewives who tirelessly worked to promote black-owned businesses and in turn increase employment opportunities for black workers.
