1740365403Sevilla Spain: Imprenta de las Siete Revueltas a costa de D. Juan Leonardo Malo Manrique 1740. Hardcover. Very good. A book by the first Hispanic American author and one of the first published writers born in what is now the United States. The book describes the visitation of the Archangel Michael San Miguel to Diego Lazaro a Mayan Indian in 1631 and the establishment of a sanctuary at San Miguel del Milagros the healing waters there and other miracles observed in the area. <br /> <br /> This is the second edition of Florencia's book. The first edition also published in Seville in 1692 came from the press of Thomas López de Haro; this edition which does not indicate a publication year is dated to 1740 by the Library of Congress.<br /> <br /> The verso of the title page has a full-page print of San Miguel printed inside a decorative type border. The image is signed "Lopez" in the plate possibly indicating the publisher of the first edition or a member of his family which made books for several generations. The plate is usually described as an engraving and there are certain fine details more typical of an engraving. However the image is on the verso of a text page which would be more common with relief printing like a woodcut which can be printed on the same press as type. The letters "Q. S. D." below the image Quis sicut Deus Who is like God the Latin translation of the Hebrew word for Michael appear to be in type and the decorative border appears to be made from four slugs with gaps between them at the corners. This and the lack of a platemark typically found around intaglio prints suggests a relief printing process.<br /> <br /> Florencia St. Augustine Florida 1620 – Mexico 1695 has rarely been considered as an early Hispanic writer. Few no histories of early American writers have considered him although since his first book appeared in 1661 Sabin 24811 he is one of the first people born in the present-day United States to publish a book.<br /> <br /> 8 194 4 pages. Small octavo 5-7/8 by 7-1/2 inches. Second edition. Bound in 19th century quarter sheep over marbled boards. Very good with some fading to the spine; corners somewhat worn. Second gathering of sheets foxed. Imprenta de las Siete Revueltas, a costa de D. Juan Leonardo Malo Manrique hardcover

1914606026Chicago: Historical Feature Film Company 1914. Unbound. Near Fine. Film program. Octavo folded once to make 4pp. Illustrated from two black and white photographs. Two old horizontal folds a couple of thin stains on the front panel a bit of rubbing about near fine. A program for the film Money Talks in Darktown starring Florence McLain Frank Montgomery Bert Murphy and Jimmie Marshall. The Historical Feature Film Company was a White-owned production studio in Chicago producing films with largely Black casts but which still incorporated all of the racial stereotypes of the period. The company is largely credited with being established in 1915 though this program is for a film releasing on November 30 1914. Following poor public reception to their early films the company changed their name to the Ebony Film Corporation in 1917 in an attempt to appeal to the Black audience and hired Luther J. Pollard a young Black entrepreneur who was given the title of president and general manager. The company officially shut down just a couple of years later. Very scarce.

19330001509SPRINGFIELD BARREN PLAINS TENNESSEE. Good. 1933. On offer is a very interesting manuscript diary handwritten by Florence E. Hughes who lived in or near Springfield Tennessee in 1933. We believe Florence was an African American woman though this is not stated categorically in the book there seems little doubt given the clues some activities etc. Florence was born on July 4th 1867. She married Walter S. Hughes in 1890 and had three children with rather interesting names; Golden R. Pearl M. and Jewel A. She talks of "traveling" to Springfield and living closer to Barren Plains which she writes about it as if it were home. Prolific but rather illiterate Florence details life and quite a few deaths from the area talks of barn dances tobacco growing shows coming into town a "Negro" trial that was held on their front lawn and much more for a full diary. Her husband was a blacksmith by trade and Florence designed several gravestones for her family and some local folks providing a very broad knowledge base of doings in the town. Here are some snippets: 1933 "January 1st Mary Olive Highsmith Jones will have her funeral at the Baptist Church here today. She died at her home in Murfreesboro Tenn. on Friday and brought here to her mother and father's Mr. and Mrs. P.M. Highsmith on Saturday and kept her there until today. Buried her in Springfield.

A candid on-the-set photograph of the film's reclusive director Robert Bresson behind the camera typically pensive and with cigarette in hand. Marinie's stamp and stamp from the film's production companies Agnes Delahaie Productions and Consortium <br/>Pathe on the verso. <br/><br/>Linda Rasmussen at AllMovie notes: "Characteristically breaking with tradition director Robert Bresson presents a realistic unique view of the life and death of Joan of Arc. Using a script based on the actual transcript notes taken during her trial Bresson focuses on the psychological and physical torture that Joan had to endure showing how these techniques were used to break her resolve and cause her to eventually recant her faith. <br/><br/>"With impeccable historical accuracy Bresson re-creates the story of the peasant girl who after leading an unsuccessful revolt against the government was brought to trial convicted of heresy and burned as a witch. However Bresson shows Joan Florence Carrez as a woman more sophisticated and calculating and less naive than she has normally been represented. His Joan while more real is no less heroic than the traditional Joan."<br/><br/>In a custom museum-quality frame archivally mounted with UV glass. 9.5 x 7.25 inches. Near Fine. N.p. unknown books
