192859837Chicago IL: The Austin-Western Road Machinery Co. 1928. Oblong 4to. 11.2 x 8.25 in. 60 pp. Colour-tinted decorated title colour-tinted borders throughout some illustrations w/ colour-tinting 100s of photo & text illustrations some full page. Colour-illustrated softcovers cover art illustration of beautifully built highway with towering trees and Austin-Western road grader smoothing road in front of picturesque bungalow w/ mountains in the distance minor shelfwear rubbing still NF copy w/ promotional sheet detailing the equipment in this catalogue on Austin-Western Road Machinery Co. letterhead. First edition of this scarce catalogue of equipment which played a crucial role in road building driven by the Good Roads Movement during the opening decades of the 20th century. At the end of the 19th century less than 50% of roads within American cities were paved and the very few highways and turnpikes connecting cities and towns were little more than crushed rock macadam dirt roads or even paths. Sidewalks were nearly unknown and unlike Europe road construction was not primarily managed by national or local governments. Although founded in the 1880s by bicycling enthusiasts the Good Roads Movement at the beginning of the 20th century began to be driven largely by advocates of the automobile. In 1901 the F.C. Austin Manufacturing Co. and the Western Wheeled Scraper Co. which had been fierce competitors formed a selling corporation known as Austin-Western Road Machinery Co. The company specialized initially in building scrapers but during the opening decades of the 20th century began producing wheel graders patrol graders self motor graders snow plows rollers dump wagons gutter cleaners and even asphalt hot patch outfits all shown in this catalogue. In 1916 just 12 years before President Wilson had signed the Federal Aid Road Act enabling America to embark on a truly national highway and road construction campaign that continued to the end of the 1920s.

1840354279Mexico: Impresso Por Igancio Cumplido 1840. 964pp. plus one plate. Contemporary pictorial wrappers. Spine reinforced with archival tape minor dust soiling. Very good. 964pp. plus one plate. Variant issue without priority also printed in New Orleans in the same year. The text of a letter sent to Mexican president Anastasio Bustamente calling for a convention to address various ills affecting the newly independent state of Mexico. Estrada is heavy on political theory and with good reason. At the time of publication Mexican democracy was in a crisis. In July Gen. Urrea acting on behalf of Valentine Farias actually stormed the National Palace and took Bustamente prisoner. Bustamente soon escaped but the ensuing conflict between Farias and Bustamente for legitimacy had a devastating effect on hopes for a true democracy of the kind Estrada extols here. An excellent sample of Mexican political history and thought. SUTRO COLLECTION p.739 OCLC 7320339 Impresso Por Igancio Cumplido unknown

Five printed colour maps each: 31.4 x 47 cms; 46.3 x 53.3 cms sheet central fold marginal edge wear chips and a few small edge tears tidemark affecting the ocean at the outer edge of Map VII but all the maps in very good condition. From a series of World War II battlefront maps "for the delight of arm-chair strategists" published by the Library Bureau of Remington Rand seven were published. Taken from a bird's eye view of the globe and with relief artistically rendered by artist Kenneth Thompson 1907-1996 and descriptive text by George Fielding Eliot 1894-1971. Eliot spent his youth in Australia attending Melbourne University serving with distinction in the Australian Infantry in WWI. Moving to the United States after a short stint in Canada serving with the RCMP her served as a reserve officer in the U.S. Army reserve in military intelligence from 1922 to 1933 and during WWII Eliot famously broadcast the first extended television coverage following the attack on Pearl Harbor. He continued to write books and articles about military strategy and world politics into the 1960s. <br> <br>In keeping with the "aviation-age" cartography of Richard Edes Harrison the unusual perspective of the maps--from above and often with a direction other than north at the top of the map--challenges the viewer to reconsider the geopolitical situation with the text of Eliot as a further prompt his captions below: <br> <br>Map III Italy & South France "Hannibal Caesar and Napoleon made their reputations here" <br>Map IV The Western Front "Will the cockpit of 1918 see the decisive battles of 1944" <br>Map V Southeastern Asia "The road to Mandalay -- and to China --along which bombs for Tokyo must travel" <br>Map VI The Southwest Pacific "Island-hopping toward Japan -- in short and long hops" <br>Map V11 The North Pacific "Here the enemy trusts in the protection of vast ocean distances" .
