Kelly the "Seattle Police Matron" who is described as "one of the best-loved members of the police force of Seattle" who "has to take into her home - the city has no other place - all the girls and women who are entitled to the least leniency after being arrested and brought to jail." Mrs. Kelly also looks after the "runaway children or children detained by the police for any offense also the children brought in by the truant officer." The second is Mrs. Susan E. Stine the "Depot Matron" of Union Station and the King Street Depot. Stine's duties include watching out for "unattended girls who might possibly stray into the hands of men or women who are looking for just such opportunities for luring away attractive young women" and "children who happen to get straying away from their guardians." The third woman pictured in the book is its compiler Dorothy Miller Kahlo. Her portrait appears on the last page above a biographical note reading: "Dorothy Miller Kahlo is a 'tramp' newspaperwoman - not journalist - occasionally breaks out into print in magazines and compiled this most excellent history with much labor." <br> <br> A rare and early photographically illustrated work on Seattle first responders.

Text written in author's hand and color silkscreened. Bound in blue cloth with Bezalel's screened shapes and a piece of red fabric by Eda Kairn. LACKS slip case. SIGNED by Miller and Schatz on justification page. Slight wear at extremities. Unblemished text. References: Shifreen & Jackson A60a; Hargraves #30. ADDITIONALLY: a silkscreened bifolium 315 x 385 mm heavy white paper reproducing two pages of the book with text and illustration signed by Miller and Bezalel; edges a little pinched; AND a three-panel glassine sheet frayed printed on one panel with the full text of the title page which reads: "The one and only life is the night life the life of the mind the night of night the life the mind the night the night life. The is the Coney Island of the mind the Toboggan Slide the Into the Into. The is the without which wherefore and however of the night's bright mind the life and mind of night the mind and night of night or Into the Night Life with Henry Miller and Bezalel Schatz. <br /><br />The tortured publication history of this title begins with the sixteen months that Miller and Bezalel took to produce the sheets with the help of printer Alfred Stoddard in an edition of 800 copies. A prospectus apparently failed to generate subscribers so according to Schifreen and Jackson fewer than 200 copies were bound Hargrave estimates even fewer. The sheets were then stored in a closet suffering damage from vermin and deterioration from mold. Salvageable sheets were reissued in 1971 some of them in a modified binding and some of the wormy sheets were then acquired by Coast Gallery in 1976 and bound for sale. Our copy #168 is surely from the original 1947 issue with the red fabric patch on the upper board. In the opening text Miller calls the book "a Coney Island of the mind." Ferlinghetti's book of the same name appeared eleven years later. Henry Miller and Bezalel Schatz hardcover
