1923GITk551Paris Editions des Juris Classeurs 1923. In-8 broché VII 386pp 1 feuillet non chiffré (table des illustrations et des matières). Orné de 17 illustrations à pleine page dont 7 fac similes d'autographes. Bel exemplaire frais et complet accompagné d'une lettre autographe originale sur double page (21,5cm x 15cm) à en-tête imprimée du Ministère des Affaires Etrangères, Cabinet du Ministre, datée de Versailles, 18 avril 1871. Jules Favre (1809-1880), alors Ministre des Affaires Etrangères, s'adresse à "Monsieur le Gouverneur", c'est-à-dire au Comte de Gueydon 1809-1886), alors Gouverneur de l'Algérie, pour lui recommander un jeune Lieutenant de Spahis, qu'il avait recueilli à l'âge de 12 ans, lorsque son père, Mohamed Bel-Hadj, Agah des Ouled Riah, avait été condamné pour son implication dans l'affaire de l'attaque de la diligence de Tlemcen-Oran, le 12 septembre 1856 dont il est question dans ce livre. On trouvera, page 296, un fac simile de lettre de Jules Favre faisant déjà allusion à ce jeune homme. Le capitaine Auguste Edouard Doineau (1823-1914) fit à nouveau parler de lui en 1874 lorsqu'il aida le Maréchal Bazaine, qu'il avait connu en Algérie, à s'évader. BEAU DOCUMENT EN PARFAIT ETAT.

188232544Richmond VA: W. A. Mountcastle 1882. Lithograph. Ca. 9" X 8". Very good. Well-known lithograph of the notorious Confederate prison in Richmond second in infamy only to Georgia's Andersonville Prison. A clean and handsome example of this famous image of this prison with six large tents in the middle ground. One soldier stands sentry in the foreground another stands with arm in a sling and a handful of others military and civilian mill about near the tents and along the large brick structure; interestingly three male civilians stand as a group in the foreground one of them clutching the hand of a young girl clearly posing for the photograph upon which this lithograph has been based. A front corner of the building still retains its original large "Libby & Son / Ship Chandlers & Grocers" sign. An attractive and highly detailed image. Housed in a modern ca. 1970s single cream matte and a simple ½" wooden frame with non-glare glass overall dimensions 12" X 11½". A simple but suitable presentation. W. A. Mountcastle unknown

Some finger soiling to rear wrapper else a very good copy.The publishers Work & Hope and printers and writers were all inmates of the Moundsville Penitentiary in West Virginia. Likely they worked in the hope of getting released as for a time the Moundsville Penitentiary ranked on the United States Department of Justice's Top Ten Most Violent Correctional Facilities list. The photographs herein present a different story of course. We see a beautiful chapel clean and tidy cells and prisoners at work in the shirt shop the broom shop and the whip shop. There are also photographs of the gothic prison itself. When it was built it was outside the town but by the time of closing it was right in the middle of a residential zone One of the countries most famous pre-historic mounds lent its name to the town.'The West Virginia Penitentiary in Moundsville was built in 1876 and closed in 1995. During its working history it was deemed as one of the most violent prisons in the U.S.A. seeing its fair share of riots murders and executions. Conditions were less than adequate and humane with the cells and rooms crawling with vermin and cockroaches.During its operation there were 36 reported murders and 94 executions. This does not take into account the suicides and accidents which take the total number of deaths to nearly 1000" A. Oborn 2019 Work & Hope unknown
