Prima edizione First edition first printing. <em>Born in New York City's Harlem neighborhood in 1919 Roy DeCarava came of age during the <strong>Harlem Renaissance</strong> when artistic activity and achievement among African Americans flourished across the literary musical dramatic and visual arts. DeCarava did not take up photography until the late 1940s after working in painting and making prints for the posters division of the Works Progress Administration WPA. He used his camera to produce striking studies of everyday black life in Harlem capturing the varied textures of the neighborhood and the creative efflorescence of the Harlem Renaissance. Resisting explicit politicization DeCarava used photography to counter what he described as “black people.not being portrayed in a serious and artistic way.”</em><br /><em>DeCarava moved fluidly across subjects. In his series The Sound I Saw begun in 1956 exhibited at The Studio Museum in Harlem in 1983 and published as a book in 2001 he not only chronicled New York jazz luminaries like Duke Ellington Billie Holliday and John Coltrane but also captured their influence on visual culture. The deeply personal style of his portraits evinces his sympathy for his subjects. Noting this publisher and photographer Alan Thomas commented on DeCarava's “gentle humanism.” </em><br /><br /><em>Nato nel quartiere di Harlem a New York City nel 1919 Roy DeCarava crebbe durante la <strong>Harlem Renaissance</strong> quando la vita degli afroamericani prosperò e migliorò attraverso la letteratura le arti musicali drammatiche e visive. DeCarava non iniziò a fotografare fino alla fine degli anni '40 dopo essersi avvicinato alla pittura e realizzato stampe per la divisione poster della Works Progress Administration WPA. Cominciò" ad utilizzare la sua macchina fotografica per produrre sorprendenti studi sulla vita quotidiana ad Harlem catturando le varie trame del quartiere e l'efflorescenza creativa del Rinascimento di Harlem. </em><br /><em>DeCarava si muoveva fluidamente tra i soggetti. Nella sua serie The Sound I Saw iniziata nel 1956 esposta al The Studio Museum di Harlem nel 1983 e pubblicata come libro nel 2001 non solo ha raccontato le stelle del jazz di New York come Duke Ellington Billie Holliday e John Coltrane ma ha anche catturato la loro influenza sulla cultura visiva. Lo stile profondamente personale dei suoi ritratti rivela la sua simpatia per i suoi soggetti.</em> The Museum of Modern Art, hardcover

1820WB16351New York 1820. 8vo. Disbound wrappers. pp. 82 of Title leaf lacking portion of blank area at the bottom 15% or so of total leaf. The concept of medical police is quite interesting in the context of urban social history. The "police" focused on everything for occupational hazards to prostitution abandoned children and public safety such public alcoholism and toxins and poisons that could be an immediate hazard to public heath. David Hosack was noted American physician but remains "widely known as the doctor who tended to the fatal injuries of Alexander Hamilton after his duel with Aaron Burr in July 1804" His second wife was the wealthy widow of the merchant and shipowner Henry A. Coster and brought $300000 and seven children from her earlier marriage into the Hosack household. The newfound wealth enabled enabled Hosack to live and entertain lavishly- the splendor of his parties was the talk of the town and he built an opulent baronial estate on the Hudson. His fortune was lost in 1835 as a result of a sweeping fire that bankrupted insurance companies he was invested in and he died that year with the financial stress contributing to his rapid decline. <br/><br/>OCLC Number:1029959092.
