Belgian-born von Furstenberg arrived in New York in 1970. Only four years later she became famous for creating the "wrap dress" which launched a liberating style movement for women around the world. She also became very successful with her in-house cosmetic line taking the beauty business by storm. In the early 1980's von Furstenberg sold her cosmetic business and returned to her fashion roots opening her first luxury boutique "Diane Von Furstenberg Fifth Avenue" on the ground floor of the Sherry Netherland Hotel at 783 Fifth Avenue in New York City. The Michael Graves - designed store carried her new couture collection called "Diane" many of the designs of that collection present in our collection. It was promoted with a campaign shot by Helmut Newton who was the first to photograph Diane in her new line item # 1in our lot. After relocating to Europe she ran the couture business from afar while pursuing other business interests in France. After returning to the United States in 1990 she realized she no longer had control of the brand bearing her name. In order to reconnect with customers and the business of fashion Von Furstenberg pioneered the television-shopping movement by developing a colorful line of fashion generating millions in sales. In 1997 she re-launched her company with the iconic wrap dress that started it all. In 2005 she was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Council of Fashion Designers of America for her contribution and tremendous influence on the fashion industry. In a remarkable career of over 4 decades von Furstenberg proved herself a financial genius and fashion wizard whose achievement was based on creativity imagination and hard work. As of the present her DVF fashion brand is sold in over 60 countries. NP unknown
198889310U. S. S. Gatling DD671 Reunion Association c1988. Presumed First Edition First printing -- presumably only a few were produced. Comb binding. Good. Louis R. Lawson Original artwork. 2 157 3 pages. Illustrations. Bibliography. Clear plastic covers front and back. Rare perhaps now unique surviving copy. Eugene P. Woodward assembled each volume prepared for sale from the original materials submitted to him. All monies realized by the sale of this memoir were earmarked for the use of the Reunion association. USS Gatling DD-671 was a Fletcher-class destroyer of the United States Navy named after Richard Jordan Gatling the inventor of the Gatling gun. Gatling was laid down 3 March 1943 by the Federal Shipbuilding and Drydock Company Kearny New Jersey; launched 20 June 1943; sponsored by Mrs. John W. Gatling wife of the inventor's grandson; and commissioned 19 August 1943 at New York Navy Yard. After shakedown out of Bermuda and alteration at New York early November the new destroyer called at Norfolk Virginia to conduct training cruises for crews of destroyers still under construction. On 19 November 1943 Gatling proceeded to Trinidad British West Indies to escort aircraft carrier Langley to Norfolk. Gatling stood out from Norfolk 3 December escorting Intrepid through the Panama Canal to San Francisco California arriving 22 December. The next day she sailed for Pearl Harbor. On 16 January 1944 Gatling sortied with the Fast Carrier Task Force then Fifth Fleet's TF 58 also known as Third Fleet's TF 38 to support the forthcoming invasion of the Marshall Islands; thereafter Gatling was continuously with the carrier task forces as they struck Japanese outposts and finally hit the heart of Japan itself. In February the first carrier strikes against Truk occurred. Gatling provided fire support during the raid and screened the flattops during raids on the Marianas a few days later. In March she joined in the attack on Emirau Island and at the beginning of April in the air strikes against the Palau Archipelago. Steaming south to strike Hollandia Wake Airfield Sawar Airfield and Sarmi Western New Guinea the task force supported Army landings at Aitape Tanahmerah Bay and Humboldt Bay from 21 to 26 April. During this action Gatling stood radar picket duty and directed fighter planes. After new attacks on Truk late April 1944 Gatling supported the invasion and occupation of the Marianas from 10 June to 5 July. In the Battle of the Philippine Sea 19 and 20 July Gatling was credited with shooting down or aiding in the destruction of six Japanese planes. Late that month carrier task forces again struck the Palaus and blasted Yap and Ulithi. In early August the Bonin Islands became targets for Gatling guns and in September the carriers she guarded repeatedly struck Japanese targets in the Philippines. October saw attacks against Okinawa beginning on 10 October and against Formosa Luzon and the Visayas from ll-23 October. On 24 October after enemy bombs had sunk the light aircraft carrier Princeton in the Battle of the Sibuyan Sea Gatling rescued over 300 of the vessel's survivors. For heroism in saving these men four Gatling crewmen were awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Medal and 16 others received the Bronze Star. Gatling landed the survivors at Ulithi and rejoined the carrier task force for November and December strikes against the Philippines. After powerful Typhoon Cobra in which three destroyers capsized Gatling searched for survivors and helped to save over 100 men from the sea. At Christmas 1944 the destroyer returned to Ulithi. The task force sortied 29 December to strike Formosa and Luzon during January 1945. Hoping to locate and destroy a Japanese fleet in that area Admiral William Halsey took the task force into the South China Sea 10 January and hit targets in Indochina and on the China coast. In the middle of February the carriers launched initial attacks against Honsh with Tokyo as their main target. As part of a picket line over 30 miles in advance of the main forces Gatling was once within 40 miles 64 km of Honsh . On 19 and 20 February as part of Destroyer Division 99 DesDiv 99 she escorted North Carolina and Indianapolis to Iwo Jima to support the gallant Marines who were fighting to wrest that volcanic fortress from Japan to become a base for B-29s damaged over the home islands. Rejoining the carrier task force Gatling aided in new strikes against Honsh and Okinawa in late February and early March. She returned to Iwo Jima independently and throughout March blasted Japanese shore batteries to support the invasion. During this duty the versatile and busy destroyer saved the entire crew of a B-29 bomber forced down while returning from a mission against Nagoya. On 29 March 1945 she stood out from Iwo Jima escorting transports carrying victorious marines to Guam. The destroyer then sailed to the United States for well-earned overhaul and repairs arriving San Francisco 18 April. After repairs and refresher training Gatling escorted New Jersey and Biloxi to Eniwetok bombarding Wake Island en route. Continuing to escort New Jersey she arrived at Guam 9 August. There the news came that Japan had accepted the provisions of the Potsdam Declaration and agreed to surrender. Gatling now headed for Japan escorting transports bearing the 4th Marine Division as the 3d Fleet rendezvoused off Japan. On 3 September 1945 Gatling steamed into Tokyo Bay as a unit of the Allied Naval Occupation Forces of Japan. During her aggressive career in World War II Gatling traveled over 175000 miles and fired 77 tons of high explosives from her guns. She sank two enemy ships and splashed eight Japanese planes either as kills or assists. In addition to her other rescue missions preserving the lives of over 400 sailors she saved 37 aviators forced to ditch at sea. Finally these heroic exploits through two busy battle-filled years were accomplished without the loss of a single man from enemy action sickness or accident. Gatling decommissioned 16 July 1946 and entered the Atlantic Reserve Fleet at Charleston South Carolina. U. S. S. Gatling (DD671) Reunion Association unknown

1968143730Berkeley: Berkley Graphics Arts 1968. Collection of five vintage bumper stickers from the 1968 political campaigns run via a collaboration between the Black Panthers and the Peace and Freedom Party. <br /> <br /> Each of the stickers were made for various Peace and Freedom Party political campaigns including: Mario Savio for California state senator Black Panther founders Huey Newton and Bobby Seale and Eldridge Cleaver for president and two stickers simply advertising the Peace and Freedom Party itself. <br /> <br /> In 1968 the Black Panthers would move away from direct actions including their legendary confrontations with the Berkeley police department and briefly into the political sphere when they joined forces with the PFP a left-wing anti-war party advocating Black liberation women's liberation and LGBTQ rights. The campaigns were largely seen as political statements as Cleaver was a convicted felon and technically ineligible for the presidency due to his being under the age of 35 by the time of inauguration and as Newton and Seale were on trial at the time repeatedly being denied their civil liberties. <br /> <br /> All items rare each with original peel-off paper backing and each between 4 x 13.5 an 4 x 15 inches. Near Fine and unused with light soil on two of the stickers and rubber stamp for the "Lancaster County Peace & Freedom Movement Organizing Committee" on the verso of one sticker. A few of these rear peel-off panels have come loose due to dryness but most are intact and the bumper stickers themselves are unaffected. Berkley Graphics Arts unknown

1940List1819V.P. 1940. With fifty-eight letters from Newton Baker 1924-1937. Generally fine condition. Ellen Gowen Hood was active in the Democratic party at both the local and national levels. An obituary from the Philadelphia Daily News in 1970 described her as “one of the earliest local advocates of women in politics.†She was the chairman of the Democratic Women’s Luncheon Club of Philadelphia for 20 years and had regular correspondence with women such as Edith Bolling Wilson and Eleanor Roosevelt. <br /> <br /> Democratic women’s clubs became active across the country after the 19th amendment passed in 1920 and the democratic party sought to mobilize women voters. As chairman of the Democratic Women’s Luncheon Club of Philadelphia Hood organized events with prominent political speakers and then had the speeches printed in book format. Without Hood’s side of the correspondence we don’t get insight into her philosophy of women’s participation in politics. We do however get a sense for the role that the club played in the Democratic Party. Baker was a periodic guest of the luncheon club and in his letters he praised the organization saying “I think I have never addressed a more intelligent or obviously influential audience†and "I think there is no more useful forum anywhere. They print the addresses made at their luncheons and give them a wide circulation throughout the country so that their pamphlets are now in libraries and in the hands of studious and thoughtful people everywhere." As an avid supporter of Wilsonian ideas and the League of Nations Hood’s political intention with the club seems more focused on bringing speakers that would highlight those causes than specifically speaking to women’s participation in politics.<br /> <br /> The letters from Baker to Hood reveal their shared political beliefs and goals. Their letters are ongoing conversations about the League of Nations and the World Court; the Democratic Conventions in 1924 1928 and 1932; and how democrats should govern following the Great Depression and prohibition. Baker frequently recommends essays and speeches for Hood to read and also helps connect her with potential speakers for the Luncheon Club. He addresses her as a political peer and we also get a sense of her professional persistence and savvy -- in nearly every letter for twenty years Baker responds to her requests for him to come and speak at the club.<br /> <br /> The letters give insight into Baker’s political beliefs as they evolve through the 1920s and 1930s. In the 20s-30s he writes as his thinking on the League of Nations changes from strongly feeling that the United States should join to discouraging it until there is complete support. In one letter Baker describes in confidence one of the only times he disagreed with President Wilson as Secretary of War -- when Wilson sent American troops to North Russia at the end of World War I. In a few memorable letters from 1932 Baker writes about his experience of the 1932 democratic convention and his sense of relief when he was not chosen for nomination.<br /> <br /> The letters also exhibit Baker’s writing style and his tendency to wax poetic about democratic politics. For example speaking about the limitations of the Democratic Party he writes “The trouble about it all is that nobody has yet invented anything better for the long run and the steady pull than democracy and so we just have to be patient with it as we are with the small misdoings of our children and take our joy out of the sure forecast of their fine performance when they have matured.â€<br /> <br /> Other correspondences in the collection include letters from Edith Bolling Wilson Eleanor Roosevelt Secretary of State Cordell Hull historian and diplomat Claude Bowers and Bess Truman. There are also several letters from Ralph Hayes Baker’s wartime secretary in the war department and a central figure in Baker’s 1932 presidential campaign. These letters go into detail about Baker’s role at the 1932 convention his legacy on labor issues and a rumor that he was Jewish.<br /> <br /> Overall the collection provides insight into Democratic Women’s Clubs of the period. We suspect the Baker letters to exist in duplicate at his archive but the collection still provides a succinct opportunity for research on the subject. <br /> <br /> Please contact us for a full inventory. unknown

19034074691903. Softcover. Very Good. Oblong large octavo album. Worn leather covers and front cover detached. Contains 165 black and white gelatin silver photos lacking two others removed from their mounts of varying sizes ranging between 1.25" x 3" and 6" x 8" many with hand-written captions in white album ink. Newton B. Coghill's name and address are hand-lettered on the first page. Many of the photos show a group of young men and women on what was apparently their annual pilgrimages to Willow Camp beyond the relatively new settlement of Mill Valley first in September of 1901 then later in July of 1902 and finally in August of 1903. They are shown on the beach at Willow Camp on their way to Bonita Light House and Lone Pine Tree hiking Mt. Tamalpais the Castle Crags of Shasta County and the snow covered Mt. Shasta plus views of Mossbrea Falls Black Buttes and the source of the Sacramento River 93 photos.<br /> <br /> An additional 25 photos are primarily scenic views of unidentified mountains valleys and waterfalls presumably from the same area of Northern California. There are also 12 possibly stock photo images of Mt. Shasta with printed captions in the margins. There are six photos of a hike taken by a group of young men only captioned "One Sunday in January we walked from Mill Valley to the Summit of Bolinas Ridge" which includes images of the tired group lounging at the top with beer glasses in hand. There is a photo of the Tavern of Tamalpais. Seven images show the group of young men and women playing tennis at Mr. Billings' Court and Tournament and at Eastland Tennis Court. In addition there are two photos of Stanford University including one of an arch with a young woman in cap and gown; two photos at Ben Weeds Amphitheatre Berkeley Commencement Exercises in 1903 a game of tug-of-war five against one "We Boys have a Pull with Anita". Additionally there are images set in downtown San Francisco where Coghill worked one photo shows the "Donohoe Statue" at the junction of Market & Battery Streets in San Francisco; three more show scenes "at the store" during the Teamsters Strike July 1901 and one pictures a Chinese cobbler on Jackson Street. All of the photos are very good and clear. Newton B. Coghill 1873-1966 whose photographs are collected in this album was the son of Andrew Jackson Coghill of San Francisco. A.J. Coghill was at one time a partner with his two brothers James Henry Coghill and William Newton Coghill in the firm of J.H. Coghill & Co. later Coghill Lyon & Co. wholesale grocers and commission merchants in San Francisco. Newton whose occupation in several city directories from the early 1900's is listed as clerk or salesman may have been a part of the firm. The three photos of the Teamsters Strike of 1901 seems to indicate he was part of an affected business. The Donohoe Labor Statue he photographed in downtown San Francisco survived the earthquake in 1906 though the buildings visible in the photograph did not.<br /> <br /> This group of photos primarily shows his recreational activities with friends in the area of Mill Valley. This small city just north of San Francisco was incorporated in 1900. The decade preceding incorporation saw an increase in population in the region as people came from San Francisco to enjoy the hiking and beaches. The area later designated as Muir Woods was nearby. The annual trips Coghill and his friends made to Willow Camp renamed Stinson Beach in 1916 required both train and stagecoach travel to reach it. They played tennis on the courts built by entrepreneur and early property owner George Billings owner of 'Redwood Lodge.' Amongst his compatriots on these trips some were apparently connected with Stanford University and University of California Berkeley. The two commencement photos at Ben Weed's Amphitheatre were taken in May of 1903 when the theatre was still under construction. President Theodore Roosevelt gave the commencement address that year. unknown

1968143730Berkeley: Berkley Graphics Arts 1968. Collection of five vintage bumper stickers from the 1968 political campaigns run via a collaboration between the Black Panthers and the Peace and Freedom Party. <br/><br/>Each of the stickers were made for various Peace and Freedom Party political campaigns including: Mario Savio for California state senator Black Panther founders Huey Newton and Bobby Seale and Eldridge Cleaver for president and two stickers simply advertising the Peace and Freedom Party itself. <br/><br/>In 1968 the Black Panthers would move away from direct actions including their legendary confrontations with the Berkeley police department and briefly into the political sphere when they joined forces with the PFP a left-wing anti-war party advocating Black liberation women's liberation and LGBTQ rights. The campaigns were largely seen as political statements as Cleaver was a convicted felon and technically ineligible for the presidency due to his being under the age of 35 by the time of inauguration and as Newton and Seale were on trial at the time repeatedly being denied their civil liberties. <br/><br/>All items rare each with original peel-off paper backing and each between 4 x 13.5 an 4 x 15 inches. Near Fine and unused with light soil on two of the stickers and rubber stamp for the "Lancaster County Peace & Freedom Movement Organizing Committee" on the verso of one sticker. A few of these rear peel-off panels have come loose due to dryness but most are intact and the bumper stickers themselves are unaffected. Berkley Graphics Arts unknown books
