35502151, New Orleans, Harmanson, 1936; in-8, toile bradel grenat de l’éditeur, titre dor. 246 pp., 1 f. Planches hors-texte et gravures dans le texte.EDITION ORIGINALE.
This is a hardcover copy in a very nice pink dust jacket, that is not price-clipped ($5.00) that is also printed with a woodcut illustration of the fabled "Oak Alley". The book itself is in very good condition, as the light brown cloth covers are very clean and unmarked, even the tipped-on title on pink paper (the same paper as the jacket) looks as fresh as the day it was published. Inside the book there is some offsetting on the printed pink paper paste-down, some foxing to about 10 pages at the beginning and 15 pages or so at the end, otherwise very nice. The dust jacket is almost all there: the back panel is fine, the front panel and spine are present, but there is a small piece missing from the top of the spine which just extends onto the edge of the front panel, not affecting the image or text on the front cover. 10" high X 7 1/2" wide, 162 pages. Text by Natalie Scott. Introduction by N.C.Curtis. About 37 wonderful woodcut illustrations of Louisiana plantation houses by William Spratling, as well as headpiece and tailpiece decorations and other small vignettes for each of the 8 chapters. Index of old houses mentioned or illustrated in the text lists 73 properties. All in all, a beautiful copy in the rare dust jacket. This book will be securely wrapped and packed in a sturdy box and shipped with tracking.

193114390Minden LA 1931. Very Good. Minden LA: 1931. Original black and white photograph 15.5x25.5cm. depicting the girls' basketball team alongside their coach Mr. Russ each player identified in ink manuscript along bottom of image. Photograph slightly curled with very small flaw at bottom of image else Very Good overall. Misidentifying manuscript label mounted to verso identifying the team in "Shreveport LA / Circa 1947 / Washington ".<br /> <br /> The label is a red herring misdating and misplacing the photograph sixteen years late and thirty miles west. The center player holds a basketball dated '31 nineteen years before Booker T. Washington High School was founded. The school almost certainly is Webster High School in Minden Louisiana thirty miles east. The building in the background and the women's slightly mismatching uniforms conform to those depicted in W.L.G. Abney's 1950s booklet "The History of Webster High School." Indeed the simple whitewashed wooden structure sitting on a brick pile foundation appears to be either the back of the dormitory or the newly-completed library the ground still unpaved dirt. <br /> <br /> The story of the founding of Webster High School less than ten years earlier in 1922 displays the dedication and financial burden of a Black community in the heart of the Jim Crow South. According to Abney's history a Colored Board of Trustees comprised of members of the community first set out to find a suitable site for a new school settling on a piece of land "owned and occupied as a home by one of Minden's colored citizens Mr. Henry Harris who was perfectly happy there and had no desire to sell." Abney glosses over the displacement of Harris but the site was secured and approved by the White Parish board "with the understanding that the colored people themselves would have to make substantial financial contribution if they were to secure this site because no money had been budgeted for the cause at that time." Indeed by 1931 the list of state-sponsored schools in Louisiana for White and Black students was sixty-eight to four. Webster was not one of those four schools. <br /> <br /> As Abney's history delineates however the money was raised by the community through the leadership and outreach of the Colored Board of Trustees and by 1931 a library had been erected and numerous sports teams active. The date is also significant as it coincides with the founding of two of the first all-Black all-women's professional basketball clubs the Philadelphia Tribune Girls and the Chicago Romas. Perhaps these pioneering teams inspired the formation of Webster High School's girls' basketball team. In any case the members listed are as follows: Coach Mr. Russ Tena Lowery Hazel Garrett Willie Stewart B. Green M. Ford Bran Watson M. Gafford E. McCorey Ella B. Gafford Lorscie Henry and Louella Ruffin. unknown
196328031New Orleans 1963. Very Good -. New Orleans: ca. 1960-1965. Large oblong quarto 27x41cm.; brown gilt-tooled leatherette bound with leather strap; 47ll. to which are mounted 311 photographic snapshots nearly all black and white and measuring 8.5x8.5cm. Album a bit scuffed at extremities joints significantly cracked from use and poor quality of leatherette leaves a bit thumbed along fore-edge margins a number of photographs apparently removed though otherwise Good to Very Good contents that remain mostly in fine condition.<br /> <br /> Extensive though sadly uncaptioned personal photo album of a young white woman in New Orleans in the early to mid-1960s documenting her social family and work life date based on shots time-stamped 1963 and 1964. What we have gathered from the contents the compiler worked at least briefly as a server at a diner whose staff was mixed-race though still separated by position: the servers all appear to be white while the grill cooks and kitchen staff are Black. <br /> <br /> Of special note are the compiler's frequent trips to the Pontchartrain Beach amusement park in New Orleans a popular destination in the 1960s though the park was sold and its rides disbursed in the 1980s due to declining attendance. This album however beautifully captures its heyday including shots of the rides carnival games swimming pool tiki bar and a perennial favorite an oversized head inside of which our compiler loved to pose. <br /> <br /> The compiler as well as being a dog-lover was evidently a serious party-goer and additional snapshot vignettes capture various couples making out at a New Year's party or dressed up for Halloween. <br /> <br /> An excellent record of white New Orleans working class life marking the advent of the Swinging Sixties. unknown

5549Monroe La 1991. Very good. Two large folio scrapbooks: First scrapbook: 63 leaves illustrated with seventy-seven original photographs plus numerous programs certificates newspaper clippings including many photographically illustrated and other ephemeral items. Large square folio. Contemporary green cloth with white vinyl laid down to boards the front board titled with green wooden raised letters reading "The Monroe-Grambling Chapter of The Links Inc." Two letters missing as indicated by brackets above and a few chipped. Minor wear and soiling to covers. Occasional dust-soiling to contents but generally sound and clean. Second scrapbook: 8 leaves illustrated with nine original photographs plus several programs and numerous photographically-illustrated newspaper clippings all pages with hand-painted chains "linking" the scrapbook elements. Large tall folio. Handmade binding composed of large white artist's canvas panels duct-taped together along spines. Minor wear and dust soiling. An extraordinary pair of large-format lovingly-composed scrapbooks produced to document the history and achievements of the Monroe-Grambling chapter of the Links Incorporated a local Louisiana chapter of a notable national service organization comprised of and dedicated to supporting African-American women. According to a printed notice on the first page of the earlier scrapbook: "This book is intended to trace the history of the Monroe-Grambling Chapter of the Links Incorporated and to highlight a selected number of achievements." <br /> <br /> The compilers of the scrapbooks document the group's activities through original photographs ephemeral items such as programs certificates and documents and a legion of newspaper clippings most of which also picture members of the group. The contents are then artfully arranged with scrapbook elements such as ribbon construction paper frames manuscript headings and so forth. The ephemera in both scrapbooks include officer lists and event programs for chapter meetings banquets youth service events and so forth. The scrapbooks memorialize highlights of the Monroe chapter from its founding in 1973 through 1991. The scrapbooks memorialize the chapter's first meeting initiations from various years the chapter presidents service and volunteer events youth pageants arts festivals workshops namely the Beautillion Workshop over different years and more. The great majority of these moments are captured in original photographs or photographically-illustrated newspaper clippings.<br /> <br /> In general the Links Incorporated's volunteer efforts center around youth global awareness and the arts for which the chapter was recognized by numerous other organizations evidenced by the run of certificates near the end of the first scrapbook received from Grambling State University some of the school's Greek chapters the Monroe Mayor's Commission on the Needs of Women and Women in the Mainstream the Girl Scouts Carver Elementary School and more. The first scrapbook ends with a long run of pages celebrating "Individual Achievement" by various member as well as a few pages of "Connecting Links" to prominent local citizens including Grambling State's legendary head football coach Eddie Robinson.<br /> <br /> The second scrapbook picks up where the first leaves off documenting chapter activities for 1990 and 1991 but is much shorter. This second scrapbook includes material similar to the first but also a page dedicated to Founder's Day nine original photographs and the "Cultural Programme" from a chapter event titled "A Tribute to the Black Woman" and two programs for events during Black Heritage Month including one honoring the aforementioned Coach Eddie Robinson "the 'winningest' coach in football history".<br /> <br /> According to the organization's website: "The Links Incorporated is an international not-for-profit corporation established in 1946. The membership consists of more than 17000 professional women of African descent in 299 chapters located in 41 states the District of Columbia the Commonwealth of the Bahamas and the United Kingdom. It is one of the nation's oldest and largest volunteer service organizations of extraordinary women who are committed to enriching sustaining and ensuring the culture and economic survival of African Americans and other persons of African ancestry. The outstanding programming of The Links Incorporated has five facets which include Services to Youth The Arts National Trends and Services International Trends and Services and Health and Human Services. The programs are implemented through strategies such as public information and education economic development and public policy campaigns." These five facets are all represented in the present scrapbooks.<br /> <br /> A fabulous pair of substantial and informative scrapbooks documenting almost two decades of activities and achievements of a vital Louisiana chapter of a highly-regarded African-American women's organization. The Links Incorporated is still going strong today; as recently as 2022 the organization awarded a million-dollar grant to the Obama Presidential Center. unknown
