186425614<p>The second in a series of four racist political cartoons published in 1864 by Bromley & Company which was closely affiliated with the Copperhead New York <i>World</i> newspaper. These prints sought to undermine Abraham Lincoln's chances for reelection by branding him as a "miscegenationist" and playing on white fears of "race-mixing." The cartoon scene pictures several interracial couples enjoying a day at the park eating ice cream discussing wedding plans and a woman's upcoming lecture. Two African American families have white employees a carriage driver and footmen and a babysitter.</p><p>The only other example traced at auction brought $7800 in 2010.</p> <b>ABRAHAM LINCOLN. RACISM.</b>Print. "Miscegenation or the Millennium of Abolitionism." Political Cartoon. New York: Bromley & Co. 1864. 1 p. 20¾ x 13â… in.<p><br /></p><p>American politics had long played on fears of sexual relationships between races. A powerful new word for "race-mixing" was coined in an anonymous December 1863 pamphlet entitled <i>Miscegenation: The Theory of the Blending of the Races Applied to the American White Man and Negro</i> published in New York. Purporting to advocate the virtues of the "blending of the white and black races on this continent" it was a literary forgery prepared by <i>The World</i> managing editor David Goodman Croly and reporter George Wakeman. The authors were unsuccessful in their attempt to trick President Lincoln into endorsing the work.</p><p>At the far left of the image Abraham Lincoln declares "<i>I shall be proud to number among my intimate friends any member of the Squash family especially the little Squashes.</i>" The African American woman to whom he is speaking replies "<i>I'se 'quainted wid Missus Linkum I is washed far her 'fore de hebenly Miscegenation times was cum. Dont do nuffin now but gallevant 'round wid de white gem'men! he-ah! he-ah! he-ah!</i>"</p><p>Senator Charles Sumner says "<i>Mr. President! Allow me the honor of introducing my very dear friend Miss Dinah Arabella Aramintha Squash.</i>" A white carriage driver complains in the background "<i>Gla-a-ang there 240t! White driver white footmen niggers inside my heys! I wanted a situation when I took this one</i>" while a black man in the carriage tells his companion "<i>Phillis de_ah dars Sumner. We must not cut him if he is walking.</i>" A black woman at a table tells a white man with her "<i>Ah! Horace its-its-its-bully 'specially de cream</i>" and he replies "<i>Ah! my dear Miss Snowball we have at last reached our political and social Paradise. Isn't it extatic</i>"</p><p>To the right are two couples embracing each a white woman and an African American man. The first white women tells her partner "<i>Oh! You dear creature. I am so agitated! Go and ask Pa</i>" to which he replies "<i>Lubly Julia Anna name de day when Brodder Beecher shall make us one!</i>" The second white woman says "<i>Adolphus now you'll be sure to come to my lecture to morrow night won't you</i>" to which he answers "<i>I'll be there Honey on de front seat sure!</i>" In the background are various immigrant minorities viewing the scene. One exclaims "<i>Most hextwadinary! Aw neva witnessed the like in all me life if I did dem me!</i>" and another adds "<i>Mine Got vat a guntry vat a beebles!</i>" An Irish girl complains "<i>And is it to drag nagur babies that I left old Ireland Bad luck to me.</i>"</p><p>Manton Marble the editor of <i>The World</i> collaborated with printmaker Bromley & Company to issue a series of four anti-Lincoln "Political Caricatures." The present example was the No. 2 in that series. No. 1 was "The Grave of the Union or Major Jack Downing's Dream"; No. 3 "The Abolition Catastrophe Or the November Smash-up"; and No. 4 "The Miscegenation Ball."</p><p>Republicans responded by trying to turn the "miscegenation" charge against the Democrats. A Republican print "The Political "Siamese" Twins: The Offspring of Chicago Miscegenation" pictures McClellan and Pendleton joined together despite their very different ideas on ending the war.</p><p>Although Abraham Lincoln won New York states' electoral votes in 1860 Stephen Douglas had carried New York City and its environs. Financial elites fearing that civil war would ruin business and recent immigrants fearing competition with free black labor supported Douglas. Lincoln's unpopularity in New York City during the Civil War was a factor in the deadly 1863 Draft Riots.</p><p>In 1864 Lincoln again won the states' electoral votes while New York City favored his Democratic opponent McClellan. In fact Lincoln's majority dropped from 50136 votes in 1860 to only 7373 votes in 1864 with approximately 50000 more total votes cast than in 1860.</p><p>Bromley and Company continued to sell the caricatures after the election as this January 1865 advertisement from an Ohio newspaper makes clear. Another advertisement assured purchasers that the set of four prints available for $1 were "sent on wooden rollers to insure safe carriage."</p><p><b><i>The World</i></b> 1860-1931 a daily independent newspaper was published in New York City. Alexander Cummings founded it as a religious Republican outlet in 1860. August Belmont and others purchased it in 1862 changing the editorial focus. With editor Manton Marble 1834-1917 <i>The World</i> soon became the country's leading Democratic newspaper. In 1864 Union authorities shut down <i>The World</i>and another paper for three days after they published forged documents purportedly written by Lincoln that were really part of a hoax to manipulate the price of gold. The paper actively supported George B. McClellan against Lincoln in 1864.</p><p><b>Condition</b></p><p>Fine for exhibit despite flaws.

First edition of this 4th installment in the storied “Bronze Booklet†series which quickly became a standard reference for teaching African-American history in the United States and Europe and addressed a number of racial conflicts and issues surrounding the impact of race on political and economic history. This important groundbreaking work by Bunche not only represented his most extended analysis of the issues of racism but also the role of race and racism in World economic and political conflicts Imperialism and inherent racism as well as the fact that race “has been used to whitewash some of the blackest pages in American history.†Bunche 1904-1971 was a leading African-American intellectual diplomat supporter of the US Civil Rights movement and would later be awarded the 1950 Nobel Peace Prize the first African=American so honored.

19331821<p>15 cm. 4ii vii11-621-36331-1653xii2pp. Most pages double-column with either side-by-side or facing English and Chinese text. Brown cloth stamped in gilt and white. Shelfworn with white almost entirely missing from spine characters; small stain to rear board.</p><p>An English conversation guide for Chinese speakers that covers the subject in three separately paginated parts -- Vocabulary Dialogues and Useful Sentences -- plus an Appendix. Numerous examples are provided throughout although often of such a specific nature that it is hard to imagine such a conversation taking place e.g. when the reader is provided with dialogue about the benefits of swimming in sea water versus river water or how to report to the police being robbed by four men with guns one of whom has a "double thumb" .</p><p>Interestingly all of the examples appear to take place in China and at times offer a sharp cultural critique of English-speaking foreigners. This is particularly true in a section in Dialogues on "Protests" in which a sample Chinese person defends himself against rudeness and racist comments by foreigners in different situations such as being mistreated by a clerk in a store when being involved in a traffic accident that was the foreigner's fault and on a tram car "The occasions of provocation are numerous and only a few are referred to here". An Editor's Note follows this section noting that while "it does a man good to get a genuine complaint out of his chest rather than to harbour it there" readers should always take the moral high ground: "the spirit underlying the protest should never be one of racial prejudice. A protest should be made with the best of intentions for the sake of the benefit of the offender as well as the scandalised onlookers. The protester should not fall into a passion for after all to err is human" p. 140-41.</p><p>Surprisingly not found in OCLC.</p> The World Book Co., Ltd. hardcover

Red cloth white lettering minor shelfwear faint tidemark wicked into fore-edges of plates at the very fore-edge w/ d.j. cover art with KKK rider on horseback next to heroine minor chipping head & foot of spine minor closed tears edgewear still G/VG- copy. First Photoplay edition of the notorious movie starring Lilian Gish Henry B. Walthall Mae Marsh Miriam Cooper Ralph Lewis George Siemann and others which steeped in the Confederacy’s Lost Cause mythos which had heavily influenced the misguided Dunning School’s interpretation of Reconstruction and significantly influenced Dixon and Woodrow Wilson. Directed by D.W. Griffith the movie was very successful but the racist overtones and blatant support of the Ku Klux Klan triggered widespread protests and it was banned in several cities. Very much like 21st-Century media Birth of a Nation’s portrayal of African-Americans created a justification for prejudice and discrimination which undermined Civil Rights for decades and reactivated the largely quiescent Ku Klux Klan movement and was the first film ever screened at the White House for President Wilson.

Original single volume as originally issued; later joined by vols 2,3 & 4. Henry Ford, a noted anti-semite, had a close association with Dearborn, MI. Ford did not write the articles. He expressed his opinions verbally to his executive secretary, Ernest Liebold, and to William J. Cameron. Cameron had the main responsibility for expanding these opinions into article form. Liebold was responsible for collecting more material to support the articles. The Dearborn Independent, also known as The Ford International Weekly, was a weekly newspaper established in 1901, and published by Henry Ford from 1919 through 1927. The paper reached a circulation of 900,000 by 1925, second only to the New York Daily News, largely due to a quota system for promotion imposed on Ford dealers. Lawsuits regarding antisemitic material published in the paper caused Ford to close it, and the last issue was published in December 1927. The publication's title was derived from the Detroit suburb of Dearborn, Michigan. Derived largely from information found posted on line: Convinced that "bankers" and "the Jews" were responsible for a whole range of things he didn't like, from the world war to short skirts to jazz music, Henry Ford used his newspaper, the Dearborn Independent, to carry on an active anti-Semitic campaign. Between 1920 and 1922 a series of articles denounced all things Jewish. While officially apologizing for the articles in 1927, Ford's anti-Jewish sentiments ran deep. In January 1919, Henry Ford began publication of the Dearborn Independent, a small community weekly he had purchased the previous year. Carrying the subtitle, The Chronicler of the Neglected Truth, the paper primarily served as a forum for Henry Ford's views. Each issue of the Independent carried "Mr. Ford's Own Page," an editorial expressing his opinions, written by William J. Cameron. The Ford Motor Company pressured car dealers to buy multiple subscriptions and hand out copies to customers. The newspaper was popular, and circulation reached 900,000 in 1926. The Dearborn Independent would, most likely, have remained a sidebar in Ford's biography were it not for a controversial series that began on May 22, 1920 and lasted for several years. Appearing on the front page every week, "The International Jew: The World's Problem" examined a purported conspiracy launched by Jewish groups to achieve world domination. The basis for the articles was a notorious forgery, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, an anti-Semitic hoax, first published in Russia in 1903. Many have accused Ford's personal secretary, Ernest Liebold, of being the source of the campaign, and Liebold's anti-Semitic views are well documented. William Cameron, editor of the Independent, was an enthusiastic supporter of the publication of the anti-Semitic diatribes. However, Ford's own attitudes towards Jews were the major reason for the publication of "The International Jew." His anti-Semitic beliefs formed along several strands from his upbringing, attitudes, and personal beliefs. A common stereotype at the time led some people to assume that Jews controlled the international banking system; that belief may have fed his anti-Jewish feelings. The publication of "The International Jew" caused an uproar. In some quarters, such as anti-immigrant and nativist groups, the series confirmed their own beliefs. Others were appalled by the series, published demands for a retraction, removed the paper from public libraries, and promoted a boycott of Ford automobiles. Some Ford dealers refused to carry the paper. Responding to this pressure, Ford halted publication of the anti-Jewish series in January 1922, only to start it up again less than a year later.

Others were appalled by the series, published demands for a retraction, removed the paper from public libraries, and promoted a boycott of Ford automobiles. Some Ford dealers refused to carry the paper. Responding to this pressure, Ford halted publication of the anti-Jewish series in January 1922, only to start it up again less than a year later.
