1964015841No Place: William Kent Publisher 1964. Unbound. Good. #2 of 20 printed. Signed by William Kent on the lower right corner below illustration. Printed on paper in black red and blue with ink set in relief on the plain background. 36 ½ by 21 ¼ inches. A slate relief print by artist and carver William Kent. Kent adapted newspaper headlines and imagery of political leaders to present a subtle satirical commentary on the United States and its leaders that undercuts the assertions of the leaders. William Kent is credited with the creation of the slate print technique. Considered an outsider artist by his contemporary critics Kent as a self taught artist adopted techniques used by artists in the Pop Art movement to his own ends in an effort to portray upheavals in American society during the 1960s. GOOD condition. Needs restoration/conservation. Faint large dampstain at the lower right corner. Faint foxing present to the whole piece. Paper is wrinkled with some large curls and faint creases presumably from being stored rolled at some point. A few small tears and chips present along the extremities. William Kent, Publisher unknown
1918021403No Place: No publisher 1918. Cloth. Good. World War I Hospital/Medical Worker Diary. 1918 France. In a Daily Reminder Calendar for 1918. Red cloth. 365 pp. one for each day of the year. No name/author given. Some entries rather faded and most written in pencil. Handwriting is sometimes illegible. We speculate the author may have been an officer in the AEF as many of their entries refer to daily inspections and they reference an officer training drill in one entry. Many entries also refer to lieutenants majors and other officers although very rarely giving names instead using a single initial. It appears they were part of the AEF's hospital unit with mention of being at a frontline ambulance medical facility run by French forces and called Ambulance de Bois Roger see Feb. 12. First entry for January 1st indicates the author was in Langres France with the AEF American Expeditionary Force and mentions that school is out and he took a walk. They describe waiting for orders eventually being moved to Liffol-le-grand and Camp Hospital 18 for the month of January. By Early February entries are from Field Hospital 101. A hand drawn map/plan of Ambulance de Bois Roger appears on February 12. They describe setting up a triage with plan. On February 17 "considerable artillery to the east" is mentioned and the author as well as their going to an abandoned trench on the ridge. German biplanes are referred to using the French term avion boche. Boche was a derogatory term for Germans and the word appears off and on in entries going forward including March 8th where it states "Some boche in the air." They also mention that two were killed. By April the author is back at Camp Hospital 18 another map/plan of the facility appears and Field Hospital 101. Entries pretty much cease by April 23 with a few scattered entries short a few long" through the rest of the book. In general the diarist discusses basic day to day operations at the various medical facilities as well as planning interactions with others basic orders etc. GOOD condition. Residue/staining on the front cover. General fading. Minor soiling and edgewear. Some bumping. No publisher unknown
1926022001No Place: No publisher 1926. Cloth. Good. Clothbound scrapbook measuring 13 by 10 inches. String tied. Large ink block print of a man and woman dancing on the front cover with ink block print initials on the rear cover. Artwork presumably done by the owner. Thin paper stock in the interior. Approximately 57 photographs of various sizes including a few 8 by 10 inch photographs 5 by 7s and smaller as well as a few thumbnails. Many of the pages are empty. Other items in the interior include a program of camp exercises a few camp songs a homemade gypsy camp pennant two pages of notes from other campers to the owner a postcard of Gypsy Camp wrappers and labels etc. Photos consist of group photos or photos of individuals some depicting young women in Romani costumes some swimming horseback riding as well as photos of the Tree Top Inn main cabin etc. The owner and creator of this scrapbook was Dorothy Henderson who had an artistic touch in assembling this scrapbook as well as the art within. It appears she attended Gypsy Camp in 1926. Gypsy Camp originating in the early 1900s as an artist colony. The site 65 acres of land with some frontage along the Illinois River and located in Benton County Arkansas was purchased by Weesie and J.H. McAllister in 1921. Weesie McAllister envisioned turning the land into a summer camp for girls. The first building erected on the site was a three story structure that served as camp office residence for the McAllister family and dorm for the girls. Other structures were built in the late 1920s and eventually the camp could hold around 120 young women. The camp operated until 1978. It eventually fell into disrepair before being added to the National Register Historic District in 1988. Even so it was still empty until 2017. This scrapbook documents the early stages of Gypsy Camp as experienced by a young woman. GOOD condition. The scrapbook is generally solid. Some pages are loose and laid in with chipped and torn edges. Paper is rather brittle. No publisher unknown
1911021486East Aurora NY: The Roycrofters 1911. First Edition. Quarter Leather. Very Good. Paper covered boards with a leather spine. 130 pp. SIGNED with a lengthy inscription by Marilla Ricker on the first endpaper. The inscription reads in part "So far as I've heard no Christian has arisen to state that the morals of the Rev. Clarence Richeson were contaminated by reading the works of Paine or Ingersoll. The Rev. claims to be a product of the Christian bible and he's still talking of his god and his bible." Ricker is referring to Clarence Richeson an on and off again minister for a variety of congregations who apparently suffered many bouts of insanity and was hospitalized several times. He also was engaged to many young women sometimes several at once. In 1911 he poisoned and murdered Avis Linnell and was sentenced to death. He was executed in early 1912. Given that the reverend was alive until early 1912 it is possible this was inscribed sometime in late 1911. A collection of four essays on four figures in history: Robert G. Ingersoll Thomas Paine John Calvin and Jonathan Edwards as well as an essay asking "What is Prayer" Ricker reflects on Robert G. Ingersoll his agnosticism and skill as an orator as well as his advocacy for freethought and questions Theodore Roosevelt's criticisms of Thomas Paine among other subjects. Marilla M. Ricker was the first woman admitted to the NH bar as well as being admitted to the bar in Washington DC in 1882. She pushed for prison reform and worked free of charge for many of her clients. Ricker was also a strong advocate for women's suffrage being the first woman to attempt to vote in New Hampshire arguing that she had a right to do so as a property owner in Dover NH. She also was a key figure in the freethought movement. VERY GOOD condition. Minor soiling and edgewear to the covers. Leather rather scuffed along the hinges. Minor toning in the interior.

At the same time he wrote his comprehensive work on Mayan culture his orders to destroy all icons and hieroglyphics obliterated the Mayan language . helping to undermine and destroy the civilization he so vividly described. Yet his book which was not printed until 1864 provided a phonetic alphabet that made it possible to decipher about one-third of the Mayan hieroglyphs and many of the remainder have since been deciphered." - Britannica The Maya Society hardcover books

1909018815New York: Burr Publishing Co 1909. Wraps. Fair. Color illustrated wraps with a string tied binding. Unpaginated. Black and white photos throughout as well as one apparent painted photo by Karl Moon. Single issue of this monthly magazine this one relying heavily on photographs. Of note are a series of 14 Photographs by Carl moon an American photographer perhaps best known for his photographs of Native Americans. These photos depict Native Americans living in the Taos New Mexico area and are reminiscent of the work by Edward Curtis. While some critics have acclaimed his work for its documentation of Native American life the work seems to mythologize the false concept of the disappearance of Native Americans in the US. The article concludes "we are loath to confess that in the final count it is best that man's progress in the cultivation of land should be unchecked and our reluctance lies in the fact that this change must toll the knell of the Redman's sic day." Among the other photos in the book are photos of celebrities and of the Hudson-Fulton celebration in New York. Included in these photos is one depicting Wilbur Wright flying over Governor's Island in New York. His flight that day included the first over water and the canoe that he mounted underneath the airplane as a precaution against a water landing can be seen in the photo. FAIR condition. Frontispiece illustration haphazardly cut out of the magazine. Very heavy scuffing chipping creasing tearing and loss to the covers along the extremities with most of the spine missing. Some creasing soiling and staining to the covers with superficial paper loss to the rear cover. Large faint pencil circle present to the front cover. A very small old price sticker at the upper right corner of the front cover. Very light scattered foxing in the interior. Burr Publishing Co unknown
