1957List1012Nyack: Fellowship of Reconciliation 1957. First Edition. Small 4to 10 ¼ x 6 ¾ and each 16 pp. A fine copy unread with slightest normal tanning but exceptionally preserved overall. Fine. Barry Sy. A year after moving its headquarters from New York City to Nyack New York the Fellowship of Reconciliation - an interfaith group founded in 1915 with pacifist roots - published this an illustrated story of the Montgomery Bus Boycott which helped introduce the country to Martin Luther King Jr. The comic was produced by a number of artists under the direction of Al Capp who is best known for L'il Abner. The FoR had a year earlier assigned the white Methodist minister Glenn E. Smiley to assist the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in the Montgomery bus boycott. Smiley as well as executive secretary and director of publications Alfred Hassler - a prolific anti-war writer - directed the production of this comic book with the help of Capp's studio who assigned the artist Sy Barry to illustrate the work. Dr. King contributed to and endorsed the work himself offering several editorial suggestions. Besides telling the story of King and the boycott the comic introduced the principles of nonviolence and nonviolent resistance. John Lewis cited the work as an inspiration for his three-part graphic novel series March. <br /> <br /> Through grant funding the FoR was able to produce an initial run of 250000 copies which were distributed through a network of civil rights groups churches and schools. Offered here is a pristine original copy of the first edition distinguishable from later reprints by the presence of a "For Additional Copies Contact:" stamp on the rear cover listing the address of the Philadelphia area FoR office. FoR staff in particular Jim Lawson and Glenn Smiley distributed the comic throughout the south to younger audience members while giving workshops on nonviolence. The FoR produced a second version drawn by a different artist for Latin American audiences. <br /> <br /> Despite the comic's importance very few original copies have survived we locate no others for sale at the time of this writing. The comic historian and artist Tom Christopher posted an article about it on his website in 2004 which led to a revival in interest and eventually additional reprints and translations. <br /> <br /> Overall a pristine copy of a very important comic book which helped introduce and define the Civil Rights Movement and its messages of nonviolence and nonviolent resistance.

THE BOXER UPRISING 1900 This work documents the results of the Boxer Uprising of 1899-1900 where in anti-foreign sentiments reached a boiling point. Several foreigners were killed mostly missionaries later when foreign embassies were besieged some diplomats were also killed. This resulted in the combined efforts of these foreign countries who teamed up to suppress this rebellion. This rebellion was mostly limited to North China where it began in Shandong province under German control and spread Westward across Northern China through Beijing. . This work shows historic photographs of the foreign troops occupying Beijing Peking China. Good photographs of these troops in and around the Forbidden City namely those from Japan Russia France America and Germany. . What makes this graphic work important is that it shows a good part of the Palace and other Forbidden City buildings as they were before the troops actually damaged or pillaged these historic sights. Each country garrisoned their troops in a select group of old buildings hither to unseen by commoners and especially never by any foreigner. It is a superb look at the inner world of the Emperor of China. . THE PHOTOGRAPHER: Yamamoto Sanshichiro was a Meiji era photographer born in 1855 in Okayama Japan. From 1882 to about 1897 he had a photographic studio in Tokyo. Later when news of the Boxer Rebellion swept the world he quickly went to Peking to photograph the historic activities of foreign troops in the capitol including the Japanese. After photographing the aftermath in Peking he finally settled down in Tianjin and opened his third photographic studio. . CONDITION: This work is truly an excellent copy externally and internally. There is a very tiny bit of edge wear at the lower right a tiny chip loss and upper left front corners. The purple silk ties are bright solid and very clean. There is a very slight hint of where this book was probably lightly folded in half but not hard and there is a mild hint remaining. From about the middle onwards there is not much evidence of this at all. By and large we feel this work is an excellent copy. There is NO damp or other condition issues with this item. Overall exceptionally clean and solid throughout. This is a very RARE book has seldom been found let alone in such lovely condition. A REMARKABLE COPY !
