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.

1910027144Chicago: McClurg 1910. First Edition. Octavo. 315 pages index. The author was one of Joseph Pulitzer's first rate reporters who interviewed Tesla Marconi Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell. He became the major writer on technology but this was his major contribution. When he wrote about the history of the telephone he could relate what he had heard directly from Bell and a large section on the largely but very important role of Theodore N. Vail. Many illustrations of that help tell the story of the revolution caused by the invention and expansion of the telephone to Chicago eventually to San Francisco which was a key in communication with earthquake and to many foreign countries. From 1879 when the first attempt of short range communication failed and was labeled "Vail's Folly" to the technology of adding one wire and making possible nationwide communication by telephone and leading to Veil becoming the Head of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company. Bound in green cloth lettered in gilt boards just a tad bit bowed one corner bumped. A very good copy. McClurg unknown books
