028574Np./Nd Los Angeles: Np. Octavo. 75 pages. As automobile use and streetcar ridership skyrocketed the city introduced the Hill Street tunnels. By 1913 the tunnel had been built and was a fate accomplished but the issue in the case asks: whether the city had the right to do so. Once the subterranean shortcut shaved tens of minutes off travel time between Hollywood and downtown Los Angeles when it opened. A few days later local citizens celebrated its opening with a Tunnel Day joyride down Sunset Boulevard motorcars and horse-drawn carriages racing alongside the Los Angeles Pacific's streetcars. Once the 101 became the solution to the traffic issue with construction beginning in 1949 the Hill Street Tunnel came to an end. The only recorded copy is in the Huntington Library OCLC: 77975582. Our copy has extensive staining though the entire text and footnotes but can easily be read corners torn away to first few leaves not affecting text with its wide margins. One of the major documents and the legal issues in the early 20th century history of Los Angeles. Np unknown
18888363New Orleans Louisiana: Louisiana State Lottery Company 1888. Very good. 6 7/8†x 5 3/8â€. Stapled illustrated wrappers. Pp. 16. Very good: wrappers with some soil spots and a touch of corner wear; scattered spotting and soiling to margins and edges lightly affecting two images. <br /> <br /> This is a rare promotional composed of drawings and poems for the 1888 “Mammoth Drawing†of the Louisiana State Lottery Company LSLC. <br /> <br /> A scholarly article published in The Southwestern Social Science Quarterly Vol. 20 No. 4 March 1940 detailed the fascinating history of the LSLC which was chartered in 1868<br /> <br /> “as an aftermath of the War Between the States. The necessity of financial reconstruction was one of the impelling forces. The gambling concerns in New Orleans were corrupting officers and bribing the police and it was thought these evils could be reduced by making gambling legitimate . . . LSLC was an important force in the economic social and religious life of the State . . . It was stated that the company had every legislature in its power from 1868 to 1892 . . .†<br /> <br /> LSLC was said to be “generous to charity and to public enterprises†with donations to the Howard Memorial Library and the Confederate Memorial Building among other New Orleans foundations. In 1890 the company sent Governor Francis T. Nicholls a check for $100000 “to be used in your discretion to protect the people of Louisiana against the inundation now apparently so imminent in consequence of the threatening condition of the river.†Nicholls staunchly anti-lottery returned the check and the money was “distributed by the company directly to the people to relieve the distress when the levees broke.†LSLC was abolished by federal law in 1892. <br /> <br /> This small volume in charming caricature and verse poses various ways one could lose all one's money whether through stocks cards or poor choice of banks. It suggests playing the lottery to recoup one's funds. <br /> <br /> The tale was followed by an announcement for the “Great Mammoth Drawing†of December 1888 featuring “three capital prizes†“45 grand prizes†and “3000 additional prizes together aggregating over two millions of money.†It listed the prices of the various tickets available from whole and halves down to “fortieths†for $1 as well as instructions and a form to obtain tickets by writing to M.A. Dauphin president of the LSLC. The final page ran a “fac-simile – full size†of “one of Washington's tickets still preserved†for a lottery in 1768. <br /> <br /> A rare advertisement for the Louisiana lottery. OCLC shows one holding. [Louisiana State Lottery Company] unknown

19729202Washington D.C.: U.S. Secretariat International Book Year 1972 1972. First edition. 22x18" screen printed in pink and blue on opaque Mylar. Few superficial scuffs mainly to lower margin. Very good. Will ship rolled. <br /> <br /> Very scarce original poster from the UESCO-designated IBY 1972 promoting American participation in the observance. The initiative sought to emphasize the importance of books and literacy in education and culture as well as the social role of all those involved in publishing - from authors to printers booksellers libraries etc. The U.S. Secretariat operated from roughly 1971 in the planning phase through 1973 following the observance.<br /> <br /> The image on this poster was generated on computer at Dolphin Productions Inc. a New York-based animation house that produced some of the earliest computer animation and graphics in the U.S. It was printed by Auto Screen/Lehigh Inc. on mylar supplied by Arkwright Interlaken. <br /> <br /> <br /> Really a tremendous frequently reproduced and visually appealing piece; futuristic in design this image speaks to the importance of books and literacy in the age of early computers. There is a listing in OCLC for this poster but it does not cite any physical holdings. . U.S. Secretariat, International Book Year, 1972 unknown
