1930I7D9LIPN5PS6London 1930. In a wooden frame ca. 53 x 64 cm under glass. Matt silver print ca. 28 x 36 cm watercolour pastel gouache and oil paint. Mounted on paper in a passe-partout. Signed "Lafayette" in pencil on the mount. Impressively coloured photographic portrait of the Saudi crown prince Saud 1902-1969 by the eminent London photographic studio Lafayette. Prince Saud the future King Saud of Saudi Arabia had been appointed crown prince in 1933 and fought in the 1934 war against Yemen. After the war his father encouraged him to travel abroad and over the next few years he visited Saudi-Arabia's neighbours Europe and the United States. While in London Prince Saud had his portrait taken by the Lafayette studio originally established in Dublin in 1880. It is no coincidence that Prince Saud chose a firm that had photographed numerous emperors kings sultans earls early movie stars etc. The firm would also provide hand coloured prints on request and the current photograph is an example of the very high quality they provided. The photograph of Prince Saud was coloured by painting over the photograph with watercolours and pastel. A subsequent treatment made it possible to use tiny drops of oil paint to highlight the gold trimming on his robe the jewels and pearls on his sword and the small lights in his eyes. In very good condition with only very minor craquelure. A colour portrait of the future King Saud of Arabia: a photograph enhanced by an expert painter from the leading British firm for the genre.l For Lafayette: Russell Harris Narrated in calm prose. unknown

1901EPH25-04<p><em><strong>Platinum print affixed to paper</strong></em> <em><strong>20 x 25 inches overall</strong></em><br /><em><strong>Broadside with affixed platinum print photograph attached to board with red wax.</strong></em><br /><em><strong>With Randall's signature recto.</strong></em></p><p>A large and handsome broadside advertising a lecture entitled "Whistler the Man and His Art" which was delivered by William Merritt Chase at the photo studio of Herbert Randall in New Haven Connecticut and was sponsored by the city's Paint and Clay Club. The advertisement also lists the patronesses of the lecture and is illustrated by a stately portrait of Chase which was taken by Randall.<br /><br />American artists William Merritt Chase and James McNeill Whistler had to put it simply a complicated relationship. They met in the 1870s. Chase was already an admirer of Whistler who was more than ten years his senior and already very well-known. At first they struck up a friendship and at one point agreed to paint each other's portrait with the intention of exhibiting the two together. Chase painted a full size portrait of Whistler which he called "The Public Whistler." For this work Chase departed from his typical vibrant painting technique and mimicked Whistler's muted colors and style. In the meantime the two men's relationship began to strain as they traveled together and argued frequently. The final straw was Chase showing his portrait of Whistler without the latter in New York. The press coverage of the show presented the painting as an accurate ridiculing of Whistler's likeness and style and Whistler was insulted and declared himself finished with Chase and their friendship. Whistler's portrait of Chase has never been shown and in all likelihood was destroyed.<br /><br />Beginning around 1901 in what could perhaps be understood as an attempt to rewrite history or at least sway public perception of their relationship Chase began to tour with a lecture on his one-time close companion. Titled "Whistler: Man and his Art." Though he spoke of Whistler's hot-tempered nature the lecture was by all accounts a warm one. One review published in the Morris County Chronicle in 1902 recounts that Chase "gave an interesting description" of Whistler "consisting of personal reminiscence and criticisms on his many works" and that Chase "set forth the character of the man by his loyal devotion to art." Whistler passed away in 1903 and Chase continued his talks until the end of the decade.</p>

1920BB.23.031<p><em><strong>Silver prints 24; Each 5 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches; Some with "Nu Way Photo Shoppe" stamp verso one with Hicks Photo Studio embossed credit stamp some with subject identification recto or verso.</strong></em></p><p>Collection of real photo postcard studio-portraits of the African American community of Miami Florida in the 1920s-40s.</p><p>Eighteen of the photographs are from the "Nu Way Photo Shoppe" a commercial studio located at 939 N.W. 2nd Avenue in the Overtown neighborhood of Miami.The firm was opened by David Jenkins in the early 1940s and catered to a Black clientele. A 1942 issue of "The Crisis" advertises Jenkins' work in Overtown and notes that many of the photographs illustrating the issue were shot by his firm. Included in the collection are portraits of two young women posed proudly in her graduation uniform an identified soldier alongside his sister dapper men in pinstripe suits two-tone shoes and panama hats and equally sharp-dressed women.</p><p>There are six other photographs from other Miami-area studios. One of a woman seated has an embossed stamp for "Hicks Studio." Run by proprietor James E. Hicks the Hicks Studio was also located in Overtown at 225 N.W. 8th Street and is mentioned in the same issue of "The Crisis." Also included are a fun pair of photos showing a coolly-posed man in an all white suit and a second image showing him with a woman elegantly-clad in all white as well. There are also two photographs in front of the same tropical-backdrop one of a man dressed in a suit with tails holding a cane and bowler and the other of a man and woman. One of the last two photos show a woman in lavish evening wear and the other shows a couple in more conservative attire.</p><p>The second-oldest continuously inhabited Miami-area neighborhood after Coconut Grove Overtown is located just northwest of downtown. The area was originally settled in the late 19th-century by African American laborers who worked on the construction of the Florida East Coast Railway. Originally known as "Colored Town" it was one of the few places in Miami where black residents were allowed to live. During the early 20th-century Overtown became a thriving cultural center for Miami's black community with numerous businesses restaurants and nightclubs built primarily along Northwest 2nd Avenue where the Nu-Way Photo Shoppe was located. Its thriving Jazz scene earned Overtown the nickname "Little Harlem."</p><p>In the 1960s Overtown was largely demolished to make way for the construction of Interstate 95 which cut through the heart of the neighborhood. Many homes and businesses were destroyed and the highway effectively cut Overtown off from downtown Miami and the rest of the city. Today revitalization efforts are in place including the restoration of the neighborhood's historic Lyric Theatre.</p>

192511454New York Buffalo 1925. Unique. Hardcover. Very Good. Unique. Hardcover. George C. Tyler's touring production of "The Rivals." Autograph and photograph collection album includes tipped in silver gelatin photographs. The inscriptions and autographs are on sepia toned gelatin prints photographs; inscriptions from the performers to Rita Olcott. Inscription and autographs including cast: Thomas A. Wise Lola Fisher James T. Powers Fred Eric Chauncey Olcott Percival Vivian May Collins George Tawde Walter Woodall and "Sir Anthony Absolute" dated December 25 1924. "The Rivals comedy in five acts by Richard Brinsley Sheridan produced and published in 1775. The original play stars Sir Anthony Absolute fictional character the father of Captain Jack Absolute and with him a protagonist of Richard Brinsley Sheridan's comic play The Rivals 1775. Sir Anthony is a wealthy aristocrat and so his son masquerades as the penniless Ensign Beverley in order to court Lydia Languish who has romantic notions of marrying a poor man. When Sir Anthony attempts on his own to arrange a marriage between Jack and Lydia Jack's true identity is revealed to Lydia. She initially rejects him because of his deceit but she eventually accepts him." On October 30 1925 while playing the role of Sir Lucius O'Trigger in Richard Brinsley Sheridan's The Rivals Olcott fell ill and wasn't expected to survive. He eventually recovered but it was the last time he appeared on stage. Almost seven years later Chauncey finally succumbed to his chronic bout with pernicious anemia at his Monaco villa in the early hours of March 18 1932. In 1897 Chauncey married Rita O'Donovan from San Francisco a fellow enthusiast. They collaborated on many plays she was the inspiration for the song that Chauncey wrote "My Wild Irish Rose." She wrote a biography "Song in Her Heart" about her and Chauncey's life which was made into a film "My Wild Irish Rose." Wonderful example of an early 20th century performers dedication album.

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.
