Working for the People: Promise and Performance in Public Space.

1956124814New York: Harper & Brothers 1956. First edition of this work by the legendary Robert Moses. Octavo original cloth. Presentation copy inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper "To Janet Hooper Ostahn the daughter of an old and valued friend from Robert Moses." Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Foreword by Herbert Bayard Swope. Books signed by Moses are uncommon. Robert Moses was a public official who worked mainly in the New York metropolitan area. Known as the "master builder" of mid-20th century New York City Long Island Rockland County and Westchester County he is sometimes compared to Baron Haussmann of Second Empire Paris and was one of the most polarizing figures in the history of United States urban development. His decisions favoring highways over public transit helped create the modern suburbs of Long Island. Although he was not a trained civil engineera Moses's programs and designs influenced a generation of engineers architects and urban planners nationwide. Moses held up to 12 official titles simultaneously including New York City Parks Commissioner and Chairman of the Long Island State Park Commission but was never elected to any public office. He ran only once as the Republican nominee for Governor of New York in 1934 and lost in a landslide. Nevertheless he created and led numerous semi-autonomous public authorities through which he controlled millions of dollars in revenue and directly issued bonds to fund new ventures with little or no input or oversight. As a result of Moses's work New York has the United States' greatest proportion of public benefit corporations which remain the primary driver of infrastructure building and maintenance and account for most of the state's debt. Moses's projects were considered economically necessary by many contemporaries after the Great Depression. Moses led the construction of New York campuses for the 1939 and 1964 World's Fairs and helped persuade the United Nations to locate its headquarters in Manhattan instead of Philadelphia.

".Parle-moi du poisson - quelle sacrée différence de ceux d'ici ! ah ! merde alors ! ."" Affectionate and nostalgic signed autograph letter addressed to Carlo Rim from his Lisbon exile longing for his lamented Provence

194083069s. l.: S. n. 1940. Fine. S. n. s. l. 17 octobre 1940 17.50 x 25.50 cm une feuille Autograph letter signed by Moïse Kisling addressed from his exile in Lisbon to Carlo Rim 30 lines in black ink deeply imbued with melancholic memories of his Provence which he cruelly misses: ""Ta lettre du 5. m'a donné envie de la sentir pour découvrir un peu d'ail pour sentir le mistral et toute la couleur du pays. Elle m'a apporté un peu d'arôme du pays."" ""Your letter of the 5th. made me want to smell it to discover a bit of garlic to feel the mistral and all the color of the country. It brought me a little aroma of the country."" Moïse Kisling questions his friend about fishing : "". elle ne doit pas être bonne en ce moment - nous allons vers novembre. Mais quelque fois la mer est bonne à cette époque. Parle-moi du poisson - quelle sacrée différence de ceux d'ici ! ah ! merde alors ! "" "". it must not be good right now - we're heading towards November. But sometimes the sea is good at this time. Tell me about the fish - what a damn difference from those here! ah! damn it then!"" and appears unenthusiastic about the idea of going to the United States to exhibit his works even further removed from his beloved Provence: ""Quand je serai dans le pays de dollars et j'en gagnerai sûrement je te commanderai des longues chroniques sur beaucoup de pages. Tu seras obligé de me raconter tous les potins du pays et tu prendra comme collaboratrice Alice."" ""When I am in the land of dollars and I will surely earn some I will commission from you long chronicles on many pages. You will be obliged to tell me all the gossip of the country and you will take Alice as collaborator."" The painter confesses to a certain melancholy linked to his retreat: "". toi aussi tu me manque vieux - du coup je deviens sentimentale. Tu sais Ici c'est la solitude complète et il faut se mettre à table pour écrire aux êtres que j'ai la bas pour s'oublier un peu. C'est pourquoi des lettres de gars comme toi quand je les reçois me font oublier pas mal de choses."" "". I miss you too old friend - so I'm becoming sentimental. You know Here it's complete solitude and one must sit at the table to write to the people I have back there to forget oneself a little. That's why letters from guys like you when I receive them make me forget quite a few things."" Folds inherent to posting. Carlo Rim was a Provençal writer author notably of ""Ma belle Marseille"" a caricaturist a filmmaker: ""Justin de Marseille"" ""L'armoire volante"" ""La maison Bonnadieu"" and was notably the friend of Fernandel Raimu and Marcel Pagnol but also of Max Jacob and André Salmon whom he met in Sanary.

Por Tierras Santas Y Por Tierras Profanas Impresiones de un Guatamalteco en su Viaje Aldredor del Mundo Durante los Anos de 1922 a 1924

192610275Los Angeles California: Vincent Printing Co 1926. 9 x 6" purple leatherette binding with grey lettering and illustration 250 2 pp one color plate many photo illustrations within text. Title in English translates to "Through Sacred Lands and Through Profane Lands Impressions of a Guatemalan on His Journey Around the World During the Years 1922 to 1924." A travel narrative by a Guatemalan-American published in Los Angeles. The author Jose Moises Deleon Letona arrived in California in 1925 lived in Los Angeles and worked as an accountant according to his 1927 naturalization document.

The first three chapters cover Letona's journey from Guatemala to New Orleans his travels through the American northeast a visit to Niagara Falls and his border crossing into Canada. The rest of the book covers his travels throughout Europe to the Holy Land and to Egypt. Throughout Letona provides his impressions of the societies he visits listing statistics describing social norms and family structures and providing comparisons to his native Guatemala. A chapter towards the end is dedicated to comparisons of the various countries he visited. Letona wrote for a Central American audience in order to expose his countrymen to the wider world and inspire within them dreams of travel. Letona writes in his introduction that "If all my countrymen who leave their native land and return to their homes put their own impressions on the pages of a book.it would not only give the sensation of things outside but would also be a stimulus to induce the Central American to be less shy and seek in the lives of other peoples means that adapt to his own life." He adds in his conclusion that "One of the objectives of this book is to awaken in you the idea of traveling. You the parents who have resources send your sons and daughters to study to work abroad." The book is infused with patriotic sentiment for Guatemala and includes a poetic ode to the country as well as a color plate depicting the national bird the Quetzal. Soiling to covers wear to edges and spine ends toning to pages. Vincent Printing Co hardcover
