A rare original coastal survey of southern Louisiana coast and includes Pecan Island Lower Mud Lake the Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge and the Mementau River.<br/> <br/> Established by President Thomas Jefferson in 1807 as the Survey of the Coast the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey was the United States' first civilian scientific agency. This agency has followed its mission to survey the U.S. coastline create nautical charts of the coast and help increase maritime safety since its founding and has often played fascinating roles in significant chapters of U.S. history. It served in all theaters of the Civil War in the service of the Union Army and Navy pioneered acoustic exploration in the wake of the sinking of the Titanic and during WWI it worked to detect enemy submarines.

19265509Shreveport: The Service Print Shop July 1926. Good. Broadside 12 x 6 inches. Old folds small chip to upper corner noticeable soiling and staining. An unrecorded broadside advertising a membership drive for the Damon Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias of the Universe in Shreveport Louisiana in the midst of the Roaring Twenties. The text asks "Do you want to join a Good Lodge" before asserting that this present membership drive is a unique opportunity: "The doors are opened for you that will never be opened again." The text then relays the price for membership $3.50 and then fifty cents per month and details some of the potential benefits of joining the Knights: "We Pay $3 Per Week Sick Benefit $50 Burial and a $300 Policy." The broadside is signed in type at the bottom by B.L. McElroy Grand Chancellor of the Damon Grand Lodge. Interestingly the Damon Lodge was located 10511/2 Texas Avenue in Shreveport; the present broadside was printed by the Service Print Shop on the same street at 1009 Texas Avenue. As such the print shop was most likely a Black-owned-and-operated enterprise. Another interesting note -- near the bottom several individuals are named as contacts for prospective new members mainly pastors and doctors; most of these men also reside or work on Texas Avenue. A decidedly ephemeral and hyper-local advertisement for a Shreveport lodge of the Knights of Pythias with no copies in OCLC or anywhere we could think to check. The Service Print Shop, July unknown
19033176Various locations in Louisiana 1903. About very good. Twelve leaves illustrated with twenty silver gelatin photographs. Contemporary gray cloth photograph album string-tied front cover stamped in gilt "The Kodak Book." Noticeable soiling and rubbing to boards edges worn. Two photographs detached mild wear to a few pictures but overall nice condition. A charming collection of vernacular images of southern Louisiana in the first few years of the 20th century taken by local resident May Hill Wilkinson. Wilkinson has signed the inside front cover in pencil "Mrs. C A Wilkinson May Hill Lake Charles and Jennings." Additionally manuscript notes on the inside front cover a couple of slips inside the album and on the verso of one of the loose photographs also indicate Wilkinson's authorship of the pictures per her daughter Lyllis who indicates the pictures were taken before she was born in Jennings in 1904. Wilkinson's photographs mostly depict scenes on the waters of Lake Charles and Lake Arthur but also include a handful of scenes in the wooded areas around Jennings.<br /> <br /> A particularly striking photograph captures an oil field fire in Evangeline Louisiana according to a later note from Lyllis opposite the photo; Evangeline is only six miles from Jennings and was the site of the first oil strike in Louisiana in September 1901. Wilkinson's photograph captures a billowing cloud of smoke at left with men and oil derricks visible to the right. This is likely one of the earliest vernacular photographs of the Evangeline Oil Field which would bring untold riches to the people of Jennings. A nice mixture of images from a time and place rarely seen in vernacular photographs. unknown

19694640Shreveport La 1969. Very good. Three programs: 48; 32; 306pp. each bound in yellow wrappers stapled. Mostly minor wear some dust-soiling a few stray ink marks one ownership signature. Overall a nice group. A trio of souvenir programs memorializing various events at Shreveport's J.S. Clark Junior High School beginning in the Jim Crow years and ending at the close of the 1960s. The earliest program was issued at the dedication ceremony for the new school in 1959. It features the speakers for the day including J.S. Clark himself group photographs of the faculty and various staff departments a list of patrons and more. The preponderance of the work is comprised of advertisements for local businesses and congratulatory messages from community members. Laid into this program is a printed letter from the day of the dedication with further information about the school. The second and third programs present here were issued to celebrate the school's annual homecoming both in October in 1967 and 1969 respectively. Each program is illustrated on the front cover with a photograph of football players. Each program contains information and sometimes images of the school its faculty the football team the Homecoming court and more with team rosters. As with the earlier dedication ceremony program these works contain numerous advertisements and well wishes from the larger community. The abundance of advertisements within these three programs provides a valuable source for studying the population of commercial and private supporters of the Black community in midcentury Shreveport. Also the programs are important as representations of the slow process of school desegregation in Louisiana specifically Shreveport. The school system in Shreveport did not fully integrate until after the Alexander v. Holmes County case in 1969 in which integration was ordered by the Supreme Court immediately no longer with "all deliberate speed. unknown

195512990New Orleans 1955. Photo-illustrated trade card 2.75 x 6.25 inches. Minor edge wear and toning horizontal crease some biopredation to bottom and right portions costing a handful of letters. Good condition. An extraordinary survival from Jim Crow Louisiana advertising the New Patterson Hotel in New Orleans owned and operated by John Robert Patterson. The hotel was the first African American-owned hotel in New Orleans and became one of the most popular during the Green Book era of African American travel. The hotel was located at two different addresses during its years of operation in which it was routinely listed in the annual publication of The Negro Traveler's Green Book. The present trade card emanates from the hotel's second location at 1815 Bienville Avenue where the hotel moved in 1954 or 1955; the hotel is listed at its first address on Rampart Street in the 1954 edition and the Bienville location by the time of the Green Book's 1955 edition.<br /> <br /> The trade card features two small photographs. At left is an image of the hotel itself with some promotional slogans beneath reading "One of America's Finest Colored Hotels and 'New Orleans Most Discriminating'" and "The 'Very' Best Place to Sleep Away from Home." The right side of the card prints a portrait of J.R. Patterson who is touted for his "Years of Business Experience in Successful Service" and "Nationally and Internationally Known." The center of the card prints information about the hotel located "In the Heart of Downtown New Orleans Close to Everything" offering "Rooms With Baths" and "Hot and Cold Running Water in Each Room" and with the address and phone number at bottom. The card is similar to the regular newspaper advertisement for the hotel printed in The Louisiana Weekly from 1956 to 1965. We could locate no other copies of this striking trade card for an important African American hotel in New Orleans founded owned and operated by a notable local businessman. unknown
