BLUE BOOK wrapper title

1915WRCAM55407New Orleans 1915. 96pp. printed throughout in black. 12mo. Original pale blue wrappers printed in red. Spine sunned minor edge wear. Internally clean. Very good plus. The last edition of the series of guides to the bawdy houses and prostitutes of New Orleans issued between 1900 and 1915 and known collectively as the "Blue Books" of Storyville. Heartman identifies this is as the twelfth or thirteenth edition. Pamela Arceneaux in GUIDEBOOKS TO SIN condenses Heartman's last two editions into the same print run having compared Heartman's two editions and found them identical. Arceneaux further believes that this edition could have been printed as early as 1913 based on intertextual clues found during her research cross-referenced with contemporary New Orleans city directories. Further the textblock of this copy is printed entirely in black unlike the normal red-and-black printing of most other copies of this edition. Arceneaux explains on p.105 of GUIDEBOOKS TO SIN: "There appears to have been a printing of this edition in which all of the text and design elements of the interior pages are printed only in black ink with none of the rubrication seen in THNOC's The Historic New Orleans Collection's seven identical copies. I have examined a copy of this item that is in private hands and its size the cover printing and the quality of the paper are exactly the same as THNOC's seven. There is one other exception - three staples are used to bind the text block rather than the usual two seen in most issues. The printing on the interior pages the overall wear and the accumulation of rust around the staples leads me to believe that even lacking the red-ink highlights of the others this one is also of the Storyville period." The only way in which the present copy differs from the above description is in the number of staples - the present copy has two as seen in the red-ink issue. Arceneaux does not postulate about the differences in this printing of the Blue Book from the red-ink version but we might propose that the all- black-ink version of the Blue Book was perhaps a trial printing executed at the beginning of the period of this edition or likely one of the very latest productions of this edition once the printer had exhausted the red ink and there was still demand for the guidebook. The red-light district of New Orleans operated in a very public way until the U.S. government suppressed it at the time of the American entrance into the First World War. This guide lists women by address followed by advertisements for brothels; all interspersed with advertisements for liquor and cigars. Included are lists of burlesque houses names of landladies and names of prominent women in the trade. The prostitutes are often identified by race most commonly white black and octoroon. The earliest such guide appeared about 1896 and they were produced almost annually from 1900 to 1915. During this period all of the guides issued under the title BLUE BOOK were the product of Billy Struve allegedly from the second floor of Lulu White's saloon at the corner of Basin Street and Bienville though that story is likely apocryphal. More likely Struve assembled the BLUE BOOKS from his management offices at Anderson's a saloon owned by the "Mayor of Storyville" Tom Anderson located at the corner of Basin and Iberville where according to the city directories he also resided for most of the Storyville years. An advertisement for Tom Anderson's New Cabaret and Restaurant is found on the rear wrapper of this edition. The two photographs include the facade of Emma Johnson's famous "Studio" and a portrait of the Oriental Danseuse Rita Walker. Owing to their content and heavy use all BLUE BOOK guides are extremely rare. A nice example of a rarely-encountered variant of the last Storyville BLUE BOOK. HEARTMAN BLUE BOOKS XII/XIII.

Domestic Slave Trade History 1848 Letter Ordering Shipment of Enslaved Boys from Virginia to Mississippi Through New Orleans

1848215241848. J.E. Eggleston correspondence dated 24 November 1848 documents the commercial shipment and sale of enslaved boys from Virginia to Mississippi within the interstate slave trade that expanded across the American South during the nineteenth century. The letter records logistical arrangements for transporting enslaved individuals through New Orleans before forwarding them by steamboat into the Mississippi interior. Written during a period when enslaved people were regularly moved from the Upper South to expanding plantation regions in the Deep South the document illustrates the economic and geographic structure of the domestic slave trade and reveals how enslaved children were treated as movable property within commercial networks linking Virginia Louisiana and Mississippi. The letter also directly references the relationship between the cotton market and the price of enslaved labor demonstrating how fluctuations in the agricultural economy shaped the buying and selling of enslaved people. Eggleston J.E. Autograph Letter Signed to "Messrs. Buckannon Carrol & Co." New Orleans. Richmond Virginia: 24 November 1848. One and one quarter pages written on a bifolium with address panel and postal markings. Eggleston informs the New Orleans firm that "a friend of mine will ship in a few days four Negro Boys to New Orleans to the care of your house" instructing them to receive the boys upon arrival and arrange onward shipment by steamboat to Mississippi. He directs the firm to "take charge of them & ship them on the first safe Boat to Chula Holms County Mississippi to the care of Stansbuary & Williams" with alternate instructions if river traffic permits delivery through another route. The letter treats the boys as financial cargo noting that the shipping record should state "the amount to be paid for the passage of the Negroes" and instructing the firm to cover any temporary expenses and charge them to the Eggleston account. Eggleston further notes that he will insure the enslaved individuals during the journey indicating the practice of protecting enslaved property through commercial insurance policies during transport. The letter also connects the purchase of enslaved labor directly to the speculative cotton economy of the nineteenth century South. Eggleston explains that falling cotton prices influenced his purchasing decisions writing that "owing to the low price of cotton I determined to purchase no more negroes at present. They are selling too high for the prospect of the price of cotton." Such remarks demonstrate the close relationship between commodity markets and the valuation of enslaved people within the plantation economy. Correspondence documenting the logistics of the interstate slave trade provides direct evidence of how enslaved individuals were transported through commercial networks linking coastal ports and inland plantations. Bifolium measuring approximately 6.5 x 8.75 inches with address panel postmark and "Paid 10" postal marking. Light creasing and toning with minor ink bleed through; folded for mailing. Overall very good condition. The letter preserves firsthand documentation of the commercial mechanisms that sustained the nineteenth century domestic slave trade. unknown
