190942930New York: Ferlag "Kibets 1909. 1st Edition. Original publisher’s binding Folio newspaper. Complete first volume Starting with Vol I Nr 1 of “Der Kibitser†Dec. 15 1908 renamed and renumbered first as Vol I Nr 1 Jan 22 1909 of “Der Groyser Kibetser The big kibetzer†with the following issue of Feb 5 numbered as "3" to correctly follow from the first issue and then with Vol I Nr 6 March 19 1909 onward as “Der Groyser Kundes The Big Stick†or “The Big Prankster.†Incidentally the other set of this volume we examined also did not have a Nr 2 so we are confident this is complete as issued. <br> One centerfold cartoon by Zuni Maud see image features "Der Kaptialistisher Tayfel"--the Capitalist Devil–holding back a "mother" by the hair to stop her from interfering as "baby's milk-bottle" is drained off by the "milk-trust" cat. <br> The caption reads "The Capitalist Devil: - to the mother: Never mind madam all in English in Hebrew letters you go to the factory the milk-trust will take good care of your baby."<br> This cartoon-laden periodical was a New York City Yiddish language satirical bi- weekly which ran from 1908 until 1927.<br> The humor paper was issued biweekly this volume for its first 20 months and then weekly after that. OCLC also references another Vol I Nr 1 from April 15 1908 a special S´imhes` Toyreh Simchas Torah issue but this may have been a one-off. <br> Founded by the humorist Yosef Tunkel or Der Tunkeler his pen name meaning 'The Dark One' the paper was taken on by Jacob Marinoff when Tunkel left to work for an established paper in Warsaw. The paper consciously set itself up in opposition to the serious Yiddish-language press of the time such as the socialist Forverts.Naturally more traditional religious Judaism did not escape its satire: The later 1915 "Christmas" edition included a parodic conversation between Jesus and the prophet Elijah. <br> Despite its irreverent attitude to everything it also published poetry by Di Yunge "The Young Ones" poets such as Moyshe-Leyb Halpern and Zuni Maud. At its height it had a circulation of 35000 but folded in 1927 due to flagging sales. Der Groyer Kunds is highlighted in this recent talk by Yiddish comics scholar Eddie Portnoy on the reactions in the Yiddish press to restrictions on Jewish immigration to the US: https://www.yiddishbookcenter.org/collections/archival-recordings/recorded- programs/ybcr-nybc-ybcr-1048/door-slams-shut-reactions-yiddish-press-immigr ation .<br> SUBJECTS: Yiddish wit and humor -- Periodicals.

Maryson was among the few Pioneers of Liberty who could write in English. He was among the Pioneers who launched the Varhayt in 1889 the first American anarchist periodical in Yiddish….Maryson contributed to a variety of other Yiddish publications and became known as ‘the Kropotkin of the Jewish anarchist movement’. During Fraye Arbeter Shtime's hiatus in the late 1890s Maryson assisted in the cultural and literary journal Di Fraye Gezelshaft. Beginning in 1911 he edited the anarchist periodical Dos Fraye Vort. Maryson organized the Kropotkin Literary Society to print Yiddish translations of European thinkers. Maryson handled some of the group's most challenging translations including Marx's Das Kapital Stirner's The Ego and His Own and Thoreau's Civil Disobedience. He also translated John Stuart Mill's On Liberty. Maryson later wrote The Principles of Anarchism in 1935.†Wikipedia.<br> SUBJECTS: Anarchism. OCLC: 19304220<br> Very Good Condition. YID-48-3-.

196382862New York: Terry Dintenfass 1963. First Edition. Original lithographed poster with text and illustrations printed in dark red and black on thick cream laid paper measuring 48cm x 66.25cm 18 7/8" x 26 1/8". Mild handling a few faint creases from being rolled with a half-dozen foxed spots; unbacked; Near Fine.<br /> <br /> A striking poster by Lawrence designed to promote his first solo exhibition at Terry Dintenfass Inc. in New York. The illustration was derived from Lawrence's 1963 tempera painting "Two Rebels" "showing four white policemen carrying two black men. The heads of some fifteen witnesses crowd in. In the poster that number was reduced to ten heads that float like moons of light above a protester and his police handlers with their billy clubs dangling from their wrists" Over the Line: The Art and Life of Jacob Lawrence pp.174-175. Paintings like "Two Rebels" "Soldiers and Students" and "Four Students" were almost certainly triggered by news photos and television images of the immediate events of 1960-62 in the South. The poster is not separately listed in OCLC though a signed and numbered lithograph of the image edition of 50 is held at the LC. 82862. Terry Dintenfass unknown

Founded originally in 1910 in the City of Portland by David Shope 1862-1948 having developed his specialized brick-making machinery for clay & concrete bricks as featured in the final photograph the company’s products quickly proved popular with Arts & Crafts architects in the Pacific Northwest. Shope used a patented process to achieve what he termed the “Red Wire Cut†and “Old Gold Rough Texture†for commercial facades and also used concrete cast stone to achieve special effects and sold his licensed machinery to contractors as well. By 1922 he heavily marketed the fact that the Shope facades were the only ones to mostly survive the 1922 Astoria fire. He also aggressively protected his patents suing competitors on a regular basis. After 1923 he sold out to the Eugene Concrete Pipe Company and returned to Lake City MN where he lived with his daughter Birdie. Gensler 1873-1968 was a German-American photographer in San Francisco CA who operated Columbia Commercial Studio from about 1915 through World War II before moving back to Alameda CA and in two of the photos he has proudly displayed his 1915 Harley-Davidson V-Twin motorcycle in the foreground.

Gordon of the Lawyers Title and Trust Company Portland OR dated Sept. 22 & Nov. 24 1919 from the library of Caroline Augusta Gray Kamm 1840-1932 noted socialite and philanthropist in Portland built home for poor women & girls with the YWCA and was daughter of PNW pioneer William H. Gray 1810-1889. Scarce Abstract of Title typescript manuscript prepared for Caroline Kamm regarding properties accumulated by her husband Jacob Kamm and then inherited by her upon his death and according to his will included here in 1912 in order to clear liens on the properties. These lots were part of the properties originally granted to Stephen Coffin 1807-1882 and Daniel H. Lownsdale in 1850 and subsequently acquired by Oregon Pioneer William Chapman 1808-1892 and where he built a home occupied for only a few years and later served as the Surveyor General of Oregon from 1857-1861 but opposed US President Abraham Lincoln. Others who owned parcels included in the Kamm holdings listed here encompassed were John H. Couch and Benjamin Stark. Coffin was one of the earliest investors and land promoters in Oregon who in 1849 had bought a half-interest in the entire Portland townsite and in 1856 with neighbor Finice Caruthers established the Pioneer Water Works driking water supply for the City. Lownsdale 1803-1862 was another owner of the original townsite and actually was the one who resurveyed Portland with 200 feet per side small blocks 64 foot streets and added the contiguous park blocks. Documents reproduced within this Abstract of Title also include Ordinance No. 69 which governed the 1869 Survey of the City of Portland and Couch’s Addition; Ordinance No. 177 which regulated the base line and surveys of the City boundaries Ordinance 178 Ordinance 619; description of the Donation Claim plat map in 1862; the numerous ownership changes amongst the McMillen’s Bolsinger’s Crouse’s Herrington’s William Ladd and more to Jacob Kamm. Included in the entirety as well was the Probate No. 10444 filed to clear the estate of Jacob Kamm filed by Caroline Gray Kamm in Dec. 1912 which carefully delineated all of the properties owned by the deceased and their values. It appears from the Will that Kamm Oregon Steam & Navigation Co. Vancouver Transportation Co. and other entities owned a large part of downtown Portland OR with lots spread over 25 different city blocks. The controversial Portland Building designed by post-Modernist Michael Graves occupies the block now and was completed in 1982 and later the massive copper statue Portlandia was mounted above the main entry on Fifth Ave. in 1985.
