Farrow Henry P.: Georgia ReconstructionABAA

THE INJUSTICE OF POLL TAXES caption title

1867WRCAM56202Atlanta 1867. Broadside 15 3/4 x 10 inches. Text printed in three columns. Old folds. Minor foxing spotting and creasing. Very good. An eloquent appeal against the disenfranchising poll tax by a southern champion of Reconstruction. Henry Pattillo Farrow issued this appeal on behalf of the poor of all races in Georgia at a critical moment in the history of Reconstruction and the future of voting rights in the state while the Reconstruction Constitutional Convention was meeting. Georgia led the way in making the poll tax a bulwark against fundamental change in race relations in the South. Despite the opposition presented in this broadside the poll tax was retained in the final draft of the Georgia Reconstruction constitution adopted in 1868 and was carried over in the 1877 revision. After serving in the Confederate Army Farrow was a Georgia state attorney general and a federal district attorney who strove to cooperate with northern efforts at Reconstruction and ensure the state's compliance with the Sherman Reconstruction Bill. Here he argues for removal of a provision in the proposed Reconstruction constitution for the state of Georgia which permitted the imposition of a poll tax for "educational purposes." In part Farrow's statement on the poll tax reads: "There is in the humble judgment of the writer no species of taxation ever assessed by any government more violative of the principles of the science of political economy and of common sense than taxation of that kind. A poll or per capita tax is not upon property; is not upon a profession a trade or a business; but it is a tax on man's inalienable rights - 'life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.' All who are in the enjoyment of those inestimable and inalienable rights ought aid in supporting the Government which protects those rights. There is no disputing that self-evident axiomatic proposion sic. Yet can a man be so poor so destitute as to live without yielding some return in the way of tax to the Government which protects him Can you point to a single citizen of Georgia white or black who pays no tax You can not do it." Scarce with only seven institutional copies recorded in OCLC at Yale Duke Williams College University of West Georgia University of Michigan Vanderbilt and the American Antiquarian Society. Hummel adds a copy at the University of Georgia. A fine example of early and ultimately unsuccessful resistance to the institution of poll taxes in the South. HUMMEL 594.

Original Typed Letter Signed by Artist Georgia Oâ€™Keeffe

197222337EAlbuquerque NM March 29 1972. Original Typed Letter Signed by the famed contemporary artist Georgia Oâ€™Keeffe to the Los Angeles opthalmologist and surgeon Glenn O. Dayton referencing her failing eyesight. Single sheet 8 1/2â€ x 11â€. The letter reads in full: â€œAbiquiu New Mexico March 29 1972 - Dear Mr. Dayton: When I was in your office someone asked me if anyone in my family had any eye trouble like mine and I said no. Later I remembered I had a grandfather in Budapest who went blind. Thatâ€™s all I know about it - it might be an item of vague interest. My left eye has become much more cloudy and itâ€™s as if my right eye is beginning to be cloudy. I assume that I should know there is nothing that could be done about if - am I correct I have gone to the doctor here again just last week and he tells me that my eye is no worse so I assume that nothing has happened to it. I would go to see you again but from what I understand there would be no real reason for me to go. Sincerely Georgia Oâ€™Keeffeâ€. Very minor creases from folding and with â€œFileâ€ written in an unknown hand next to Dr. Daytonâ€™s name and address else fine. Georgia Oâ€™Keeffe 1887 - 1986 was an American artist best known for her paintings of flowers New York skyscrapers and New Mexico landscapes. She continued to paint into the 1970s when her almost complete loss of eyesight due to macular degeneration which began in 1968 significantly curtailed her ability to work. On March 6 1986 O'Keeffe died in St. Vincent's Hospital in Santa Fe having almost reached her goal of living to 100; she was 98 years old. The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum opened in Santa Fe in 1997. The assets included a large body of her work photographs archival materials and her Abiquiu house library and property. The Georgia O'Keeffe Home and Studio in Abiquiu was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1998 and is now owned by the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum. unknown books

Chicago Marc Chagall 1979" AND SIGNED BY WILLEM DE KOONING IVAN ALBRIGHT JOAN MIRÃ“ AND GEORGIA O'KEEFFE FEATURING 100 COLOR REPRODUCTIONS OF THE ART INSTITUTE'S MOST FAMOUS WORKS. Issued as part of the festivities surrounding the Art Institute's 100th birthday in 1979 The Art of Institute of Chicago: 100 Masterpieces celebrates the museum's 100 most beloved masterpieces and the artists behind these great works. In addition to the valuable signature pages each on a separate preliminary page this book contains beautiful color reproductions of 100 of the most magnificent works held by world-renown museum. There was much fanfare surrounding the 100th anniversary of the Art Institute. In addition to this book's publication the institute was feted with a Centennial Birthday party and a month-long exhibition in March 1979 entitled "The Art Institute of Chicago: 100 Years". David C. Hilliard a life trustee who helped produce 100 Masterpieces explains that the deluxe limited editions were sold in large part to buy an Indian sculpture for the Institute in honor of Board Chairman James Alsdorf and his wife Marilyn. Devoted art fans themselves the couple's private collection of Indian and East Asian art helped academics and collectors contribute enormously to the scholarship surrounding this field. The process of getting the artists' signatures had its difficulties - particularly when it came to approaching the more irascible ones like Georgia O'Keeffe who was a student at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Per Hilliard: "There is a good story connected with the book. We sent a young man down to visit Georgia O'Keeffe and ask for her agreement to participate. Georgia could be prickly so we chose as our envoy a young man whose father had given her the land on which she had her house and studio. And indeed he was given a warm reception and tour. When they parted Georgia said she would sign. but then added "If you will tell me the location of my painting that I gave to the Art Institute 'East River from the Shelton.'" We were overjoyed and asked the American Arts Department to let us see it. As Georgia knew it had presumably been stolen years before and a full search could not locate it. But she relented I think she enjoyed her joke and signed the books anyway!" A rare and extraordinary work that powerfully encapsulates the growth and development of the Art Institute of Chicago from a tiny academy to a "hub of the city's artistic life" Encyclopedia of Chicago . All the more desirable with the signature of five of the 20th century's greatest artists. Chicago: The Art Institute of Chicago 1978.
