1871140939518Hartford CT: Case Lockwood & Brainard Printers 1871. First Edition. Fine. 4 pp. Self-wrappers. First edition. Fine. An announcement by famous feminist Susan B. Anthony and five other suffragettes of the formation of a National Woman Suffrage and Educational Committee and their intent to pursue recognition of voting rights for women under the 14th and 15th amendments. These were recent amendments around three and one years old respectively but this salvo relies on them heavily as well as on a taxation-without-representation argument harking back to the origins of the republic. In 1875 the Supreme Court would close the door on this line of thinking and suffragettes would have to change strategies but this leaflet proceeds all that; it's still heady with fresh ideas and a brand new organization appealing for funds and women's names for a pledge book compiled by the NWSEC Secretary. A rare document of a brief glimmer of optimism in what would be a long hard slog-- the struggle for equal rights-- in excellent condition. Case, Lockwood & Brainard, Printers unknown books

19290064471929. NA. Very Good. Delightful silhouette illustrations of a slave a Chinese man a sailboat children a dog pulling a sleigh etc. 4to. 30.5 by 24 cm. Homemade folder cover with title "An Anthology" handwritten beneath an original drawing of a bird. Inside 21 leaves. All leaves but two one being the table of contents have a handwritten poem and an original drawn illustrations. The poems are all by published poets a few still famous or known -- Shelley Edwin A. Robinson Francis Scott Key Whittier Bret Harte -- others possibly popular when this homemade book was made but obscure to us -- Arthur D. Ficke John McCrae James Oppenheim David Morton etc. Of many of the poets there is a mounted sheet with a handwritten short biography on the facing page. We assume all the transcribing and artwork was done by Ruth Horner based on an inscription near the front. She was in 1929 in her third year of high school at Notre Dame of Maryland. <br/><br/> unknown books
