Large double atlas folio dual-sided broadside printed on newsprint sized 9.25 x 42 in. photo & woodcut engraving illustrations recto & verso toning to paper some chipping & edgewear paper repairs to closed tears still a G- copy. First edition thus of this advertising broadside for Erickson’s “J.W. Johnson’s Old Reliable Virginia Minstrels World’s best colored show. . . “ which touts their supposed 15 year history and appear to have either been reformed from the “Alabama Minstrels†show which played throughout the West and Midwest from 1905-1914 or simply taken over some of their acts. The contortionist fire king Hi Henry Hunt who appears in this broadside regularly performed with the “Alabama Minstrels†from 1905-1913. The silver voiced tenor A.J. McFarland and Grace Arniot Royal Entertainer depicted on the broadside also appear to have been African-American rather than black face performers. The name appears to have been drawn from the 19th-Century original “Virginia Minstrels†or the “Melodious Ethiopian Band†which featured Billy Whitlokc Dick Pelham Frank Brower and Dan Emmett performing in New York’s Bowery Amphitheater in 1843 and launched the minstrelsy form of entertainment. Emmett is perhaps best remembered as the author of “Dixie†which ironically would become the Confederate States unofficial anthem.

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.

1970List922Richmond Virginia and Milton Massachusetts 1970. Various formats generally near fine with light normal wear. Near Fine. Throughout his career Martin Luther King Jr. had to defend himself repeatedly over allegations of Communist-related activities and sympathies. His associations with several alleged communistes led the FBI to open an investigation in 1962 and his appearance at the Highlander Folk School led to a proliferation of material from far-right groups alleging that he had attended a "Communist Training School" with billboards showing a picture of King at the school appearing during the Selma-Montgomery March. <br /> <br /> Julia Brown was an FBI agent who according to her own book and lectures spent several years undercover as a member of the Communist Party in Cleveland. She made a career in the 60s writing and lecturing on the subject and in particular trying to tie King to Communism in various ways. Her book on the subject still attracts some readers who maintain that King was secretly a violent Communist whose true intentions were to divide the country. <br /> <br /> Collected here are four ephemeral examples relating to Brown's and others' anti-King efforts mostly from Richmond Virginia as follows:<br /> <br /> Printed broadside 8 ½ x 5 ½ inches entitled Richmond is Indebted to Julia Brown advertising Brown as being responsible for King cancelling two trips to Richmond due to Brown's lectures and encouraging people to attend another by her likely published by the Richmond Area T A C T Committee; printed handbill 8 ½ x 11 inches folded entitled Martin Luther King Memorial Bridge - Never alleging King to be a communist and published by the Action-by-Citizens Committee mid 1970s; small card measuring 3 ¾ x 2 ½ inches advertising a speech by Brown on "The Frightening Background of Martin Luther King" March 28 1968 in Richmond published by the American Opinion Library of Richmond; and an anti Martin Luther King Day two-sided handbill published by the Council on Domestic Relations in Milton Massachusetts likely in 1971 using Brown's likeness and essays on King to argue against the establishment of a national holiday in his honor. unknown books

191526775New York 1915. Irish propaganda targeting the British during W.W.I. from the Irish World of January 30 1915. During W.W.I the struggle for Irish independence was suspended with the Nationalist forces splitting over support of the war. This handbill appears to be an effort to incite hatred of the British with racist descriptions of Fijian soldiers "the cannibals we may say" who fought for the British. There is a clear preference for Germany - "And these are the savages the cannibals we may say whom Britain is bringing over to fight the most enlightened nation of Melancthon and SchlegeL of Kant. of Mozart and Beethoven and Wagner of Goethe and Heine." <br /> <br /> The text characterized the Fijians as cannibals "dark copper colored have black eyes and bushy hair worn in the form of a mop" short stature protruding stomachs legs bowed and feet flat and usually nude. The photograph shows the Fijian soldiers standing at attention behind a British Officer photo by Paul Thompson. <br /> <br /> The text of the handbill is extracted from The Irish World and American Industrial Liberator published in New York between 1878-1951. Hand bill 9 x 7 3/4" printed in blue on cream paper verso blank. Creased with marginal tears and small margin loss. <br /> <br /> Unrecorded on OCLC although there is a W.W.I poster with the title "Civilization Vs. Barbarism" 1914 but associated with Red Cross Week. OCLC: 894257435. unknown
1916932Athol Ma 1916. Good plus. Broadside 16 x 5 inches. Previously folded. A couple of chips and small closed tears at edges. Even tanning. Rare broadside advertisement for a weekend engagement of D.W. Griffith's infamous silent epic The Birth of a Nation at Steinberg's Athol Opera House located in Athol Massachusetts. The broadside gives dates and times of screenings November 4-6 2:10 & 8:10 daily a list of cast and characters a lengthy discussion of Griffith's desire for historical accuracy in his work and a message about "the play's message of peace." To wit the broadside states that "If this graphic presentment serves no other purpose its message of universal peace marks it of great important. Morally and educationally it established the futility of armed conflict. But for the hatreds engendered in the Civil War the suffering of the Reconstruction period would never have been known." The film based on Thomas Dixon's 1905 novel The Clansman is often cited as the principal inspiration for the revival of the Ku Klux Klan in the 20th century. unknown books
26566English each print 'Copyright Entered at Stationers Hall'. Circa 1888. The four plates each 29 x 23.5 cm are loose and unframed in fair condition aged and worn with no margins chipping to the edges and with the corners cut off at a diagonal. Each title written in pencil in a contemporary hand on the reverse of the print each with a price of '6d'. The subjects are not depicted in unattractive style and are certainly not grotesques but they are shown as 'simple' untroubled individuals with the usual happy gleaming brown faces and shiny white teeth. The 'humour' would appear to be intended to be found in the substitution in quintessentially English scenes of 'foreign' for English faces. This set is generally classed as 'Black Americana' but there are two reasons for assuming that it is of British origin. First each plate is stated in the bottom right-hand corner to be 'Copyright Entered at Stationers Hall' and second a report in the British Printer 1888 notes that 'Two new series of humorous subjects are "New Renderings of Old Song Titles" each picture containing a puzzle and "Sambo's Courtship" both highly amusing and certain to furnish plenty of fun and amusement for the little ones'. Some are listed in "Black Americana: Price Guide: edited by Kyle Husfloen" Google which appears to give incorrect information about the publishing date and "American" printing etc. English (each print 'Copyright Entered at Stationers Hall').

19472097Paris Gallimard, 1947 Traduit de l'américain par Marcel Duhamel en collaboration avec Andrée R. Picard. 224 pp. In-8 en pleine percaline noire, dos plat pièce de titre en maroquin rouge, relié avec sa couverture d'origine. Black boy raconte un épisode d'une histoire souvent vécue par les Noirs d'Amérique. "Les circonstances historiques ont fait de nous, les Noirs d'Amériques du Nord, un peuple de nomades, perpétuellement en mouvement, quittant sans cesse un lieu pour cherche la liberté ailleurs." Richard Wright, issu d'une famille blanche, noire et indienne, est à l'intersection contre la "doctrine de la Suprématie Blanche". Insaisissable et instable, il poursuit sans limite ses aspirations, en "courant après la liberté", pour la condition humaine, la condition de son époque pour les siens et pour les autres. Avant ce livre, son premier roman Native Son livre fut un succès, dynamitant les préjugés racistes. Orson Welles en fit une adaptation pour le théâtre en 1941.
