1753021222No Place: No publisher 1753. Unbound. Good. Single sheet. Handwritten deposition recalling the testimony of Captain Robert Evans describing the lay out of the town of Rochester mentioning a pine tree standing three rods due Southwest from the lower side of the first cove on the Southwesterly side of the Salmon Falls River and going on to mention other landmarks such as a round rock and a large white birch. We surmise that Captain Robert Evans was the same as that who died in 1753 in his eighties the deposition also mentions his age and who was described in his obituary as a rolling stone.

1859017039Washington DC: Gales and Seaton 1859. Tabloid. Good. Side folding large tabloid newspaper. A single issue of this long running newspaper published in Washington DC first published in 1800 and publishing until 1870 with an eventual bias toward conservative Whig policies. Besides the usual ads and political news this issue contains two "Was Committed" notices last page bottom right one pertaining to Mary Norris George Park and Sally King the other pertaining to Lewis West. All four were African-Americans with Mary Norris George Park and Lewis West being enslaved people from enslaver Robert E. Lee. According to the US National Park Service website devoted to Robert E. Lee's Arlington House Memorial Mary Norris George Parks and another man Wesley Norris believed they were free based on a provision in the will of George Washington Custis. Based on this knowledge the three emancipated themselves traveling to Pennsylvania. They were all captured in Maryland. According to contemporary newspaper accounts New York Tribune in June 1859 Lee had the re-captured African-Americans whipped. Wesley Norris himself wrote an article in the Anti-Slavery Standard in 1866 which provides his account of the whipping. Early historians and biographers dismissed both accounts considering them to be accounts used for anti-slavery propaganda. Lee himself was silent on the subject with many of his contemporaries and historians taking his silence as a denial. However modern research suggests the accounts of Wesley Norris and others were true dispelling the myth of Lee as benevolent enslaver perpetuated by earlier historians. The first notice states that Norris Park and West were committed to jail on May 26th and that "George and Mary say they belong to Col. Robert Lee of Fairfax County Virginia." The complexion and height of all three are given as well as descriptions of the clothing they wore. Sally King asserted that she was free living in Washington with a Mrs. D. Bread. According to the piece they all initially left Washington on May 22nd 1859. The second notice contains the same information as the first although it appears Lewis West was jailed on May 27th but also asserted he "belongs to Col. Robert Lee." Both notices request that the "owner or owners" come forward and pay all charges due. Also present is a notice of "young servants for sale" indicating the availability of several girls from ages 11 to 15 as well as young men from 21 to 25 years old. All were apparently located in Georgetown. The newspaper is in GOOD condition. Paper split chipped and deteriorating along the spine with very slight loss of letters to some of the "was committed" ads. Horizontal and vertical fold creases present. Moderate toning along the spine edge. Small hole worn through at the intersection of the fold creases. Some wrinkling and creasing to the paper. Several small tears along the extremities. Gales and Seaton unknown
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
