1930List328Boston 1930. Oblong quarto 49 pp. With appx. 1400 photos most measuring less than an inch square with roughly 175 in larger formats up to 3 ½ by 5 inches. Very Good. A wonderful labor of photographic love created by an unidentified young woman with ties to the Cabot family of Beacon Hill. The album composed largely of tiny contact prints glued in neat grids. Off-kilter compositions - a portion of a steeple against the sky the tail of a dog etc. - are mixed in with more traditional landscapes leading one to question whether the photographer had modernist aspirations or just took a lot of pictures.<br /> <br /> The photographer is unknown but our best guess is that it was someone who was a friend of Ellen Cabot of Beacon Hill perhaps while both were students or just after. Ellen Cabot the most frequent subject of the album is shown in a variety of settings often accompanied by her dog Prowler. Aerial photography the New England coastline camping life in Cambridge and equestrian competition are all on display. Other highlights include a dog named Benito Mussolini and artful shots of a monk's torso. A portion of the photos perhaps five or ten percent are not present though the album is otherwise in excellent condition. Handwritten label on the front reads "Newport Races to Topsfield autumn 1930". Overall the album is a testament to the energy and spontaneity of youth and the possibilities of the photographic form as well as an intimate look into Boston's storied upper class. unknown books

20092284471Simon & Schuster 2009. 2nd Printing. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good. Second printing. Minor tear to jacket spine head. 2009 Hard Cover. viii 464 pp. No figure in American public life has had such great expectations thrust upon him or has responded so poorly. But Ted Kennedy -- the youngest of the Kennedy children and the son who felt the least pressure to satisfy his father's enormous ambitions -- would go on to live a life that no one could have predicted: dismissed as a spent force in politics by the time he reached middle age Ted became the most powerful senator of the last half century and the nation's keeper of traditional liberalism. As Peter S. Canellos and his team of Boston Globe reporters show in this revealing and intimate biography the gregarious pudgy and least academically successful of the Kennedy boys has witnessed greater tragedy and suffered greater pressure than any of his siblings. At the age of thirty-six Ted Kennedy found himself the last brother the champion of a generation's dreams and ambitions. He would be expected to give the nation the confidence to confront its problems and to build a fairer society at home and abroad. He quickly failed in spectacular fashion. Late one night in the summer of 1969 he left the scene of a fatal automobile accident on Chappaquiddick Island. The death there of a young woman from his brother's campaign would haunt and ultimately doom his presidential ambitions. Political rivals turned his all-too-human failings -- drinking philandering and divorce -- into a condemnation of his liberal politics. But as the presidency eluded his grasp Kennedy was finally liberated from the expectations of others free to become his own man. Once a symbol of youthful folly and nepotism he transformed himself in his later years into a symbol of wisdom and perseverance. He built a deeply loving marriage with his second wife Victoria Reggie. He embraced his role as the family patriarch. And as his health failed he anointed the young and ambitious presidential candidate Barack Obama whom many commentators compared to his brother Jack. The Kennedy brand of liberalism was rediscovered by a new generation of Americans. Perceptive and carefully reported drawing heavily from candid interviews with the Kennedy family and inner circle Last Lion captures magnificently the life and historic achievements of Ted Kennedy as well as the personal redemption that he found.
