149944San Francisco: Chronicle Books 1998. First edition of this multidimensional visual portrayal of women’s lives. Quarto original publisher's cloth illustrated with black and white photographs. Presentation copy with a lengthy autograph notecard inscribed by the photographer Mariana Cook to Ruth Bader Ginsburg laid in. The recipient American lawyer and jurist Ruth Bader Ginsburg served as an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1993 until her death in 2020 and was responsible for some of the most eventful legal decisions of the past half-century. Nominated by President Bill Clinton in 1993 to replace retiring justice Byron White Ginsburg became the first Jewish woman and the second woman to serve on the Court after Sandra Day O’Connor. Ginsburg spent much of her legal career as an advocate for gender equality and women’s rights winning many arguments before the Supreme Court. During her tenure as associate justice of the Supreme Court Ginsburg received attention for her fiery and passionate dissents that reflected liberal views of the law. She was popularly dubbed “the Notorious R.B.G.†a moniker she later embraced. She authored several important majority opinions related to gender discrimination voting rights and affirmative action in cases such as United States v. Virginia 1996 which struck down the Virginia Military Institute’s male-only admissions policy as violating the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment Olmstead v. L.C. 1999 in which the Court ruled that mental illness is a form of disability covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and Friends of the Earth Inc. v. Laidlaw Environmental Services Inc. 2000 in which the Court held that residents have standing to seek fines for an industrial polluter that affected their interests and that is able to continue doing so. Fine in a fine dust jacket. From the library of American lawyer and jurist Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. Photographic and literary exploration of the relationships between women across different generations. The book features intimate black-and-white portraits of grandmothers mothers and daughters accompanied by personal narratives that reflect on themes of heritage identity and familial bonds. Through these stories Cook captures the complexities of womanhood emphasizing both the shared experiences and the individuality of each subject. Chronicle Books hardcover

19105793Kingston: A. Duperly & Sons 1910. About very good. Eight glossy sepia-toned photographs each approximately 6 x 9 inches; matted to 14 x 16 inches. Some creasing and wear more pronounced on a handful of images. Minor soiling minimal fading crisp images. A nice group of photographs from the noted Kingston studio of A. Duperly and Sons initially established by patriarch Adolphe Duperly in the 1840s. The images here show local life and scenery including a view of the rebuilt King Street following the 1907 earthquake; local women with baskets perched atop their heads; a man carrying bananas; and several images featuring locals at bends in a river notably one that shows a dapper Black man seated by a stream beneath some palm trees his hat resting on his upturned knee. A wonderful representation of the work accomplished by the Duperly studio after it was rebuilt following the Kingston Earthquake of 1907. A. Duperly & Sons unknown

Dans ce tems l‡ le fameux Edouard Teach communÈment appellÈ Barbe noire infestoit les Mers de l'Amerique. On ne vit guËres d'homme plus sanguinaire. Sa cruautÈ alloit jusqu'‡ barbarie. Son nom devint la terreur gÈnÈrale & quelques Gouverneurs ayant nÈgligÈ de le pousuivre il suspendit presque entierement le commerce de certaines Colonies du Nord. It Ètoit nÈ ‡ la Jamaique de fort honnÃtes parens. Sa mere y vit encoutre. . . . Il fut tuÈ & sa tÃte portÈe ‡ la Virginie o˘ elle fut attachÈe au bout d'une perche." Often called a translation of an abridgement of Hans Sloane but quite clearly on comparison of texts a translation of Charles Leslie's New and Exact Account of Jamaica Edinburgh 1739 this translation attributed supposedly to Joseph Raulin. Whether Leslie drew on Sloane is unclear though Leslie appears in fact to have been a Jamaica resident who had met family members of that notorious local figure Blackbeard. Chez Nourse, unknown books
