3731995<p>Provincetown “Douglas Roach August 31st 1916â€. Oil painting on masonite board 20 x 12 inches. Unframed some scuffing along bottom edge verso with old staining.</p> <p>A previously-unknown portrait of Douglas Roach 1909–1938 as a seven year-old Provincetown boy by the Cape Cod artist Arthur Vidal Diehl.</p> <p>Described as a “lost American hero†by historian Tukufu Zuberi Roach would grow up to become “one of the best machine gunners in the entire Spanish war. Franco had nobody like him and he was an army by himself.†“Episode 902 Story 2 – Spanish Civil War Eulogy.†History Detectives PBS</p> <p>At Cape Cod’s tip Provincetown claims Roach as one of its distinguished citizens and one of the few Black Americans who lived there in the early twentieth century. Roach’s father was an émigré whaler from St. Vincent. He arrived on the Cape in the nineteenth century and became a farmer.</p> <p>Douglas Roach was one of the few African-Americans to attend UMass Amherst in 1929 where he was a star wrestler. He then worked as a carpenter in the merchant marines and joined the International Seamen’s Union. Afterwards he became the secretary of the Communist Party’s Provincetown Unit arguing forcefully and publicly at one point that the Constitution protected free speech and allowed its citizens to petition its government to redress grievances.</p> <p>In 1936 when the Spanish Civil War began Roach joined the Abraham Lincoln Brigade which held the first non-segregated units in U.S. military history. A subunit the Lincoln Battalion counted ninety African-Americans. Roach then twenty-eight was among them. A comrade-in-arms stated:</p> <p>“Doug was proud of his race. He felt deeply the oppression under which it struggles and gladly gave his aid to help free it. He knew that the cause of the Spanish people was the cause of his own people the cause of all the oppressed races of the world. He spoke many times of his plans to work among the American Negroes when he got back how he was really beginning to see the tremendous role they must play in the fight to preserve democracy in America. He bitterly resented not having done more when he was home.†Building Provincetown</p> <p>According to Benjamin J. Davis Jr.’s eulogy Roach was “one of the first Americans to volunteer in defense of Spanish democracy in the early days of the Madrid siege. An outstanding member of the Tom Mooney machine gun company he often carried his machine gun single-handedly during long marches.â€</p> <p>In a letter sent home published as “Douglas Roach Tells of War in Spain†within The Advocate Sept. 30 1937 Roach stated:</p> <p>“I believe the fight for democracy in Spain is connected with the fight against reaction everywhere against aggressive countries such as Italy Germany and Japan who are dragging the world into another world war. I hope that the people of Provincetown will defend Americanism in this country as bravely as the Spanish people are defending their democratic rights: a government of their own choice freedom of speech freedom of assembly and freedom of worship. I hope that we will not allow our American traditions of liberty and justice to be distorted by reactionaries who preach Americanism and practice the opposite.â€</p> <p>At Brunete Roach received shrapnel wounds:</p> <p>He was “treated at a makeshift Brigade hospital and furloughed to the States. When he got to New York the State Department interrogated him and confiscated his passport before allowing him to return home to Provincetown . He died of pneumonia July 13 1938 . After a memorial service at the Mother A.M.E. Zion Church conducted by Benjamin Robeson Paul Robeson’s brother two Lincoln vets Walter Garland and Paul Burns brought his body home to Provincetown.†“Douglas Roach Biography†via Provincetown History Project</p> <p>Created in “25 minutes from life†Roach’s portraitist Arthur Vidal Diehl exhibited at the Royal Academy 1899 and came to New York c. 1891. “He was best known for his paintings of Cape Cod—and was known to have completed his pictures rapidly from memory while carrying on conversations with prospective customers and onlookers at his studio.†Falk</p> <p>Painted in the fleeting youth of Roach’s boyhood this portrait documents and commemorates Roach’s brief but remarkable twenty-nine-year life of this African American hero.</p> <p>Refs.

A wonderful copy. <br /> <br /> One of the great illustrated travel books of South America and the earliest substantial color-plate record of Buenos Aires and Montevideo to be published in England. Emeric Essex Vidal a British naval officer and accomplished artist lived in the Río de la Plata region between 1816 and 1818 during a formative moment immediately following the wars of independence. His views were drawn on the spot and record not only architecture and landscape but daily life labor costume and social types with an ethnographic attentiveness unusual for the period.<br /> <br /> Issued by R. Ackermann the leading color-plate publisher of the early nineteenth century the work exemplifies the highest standards of aquatint engraving and hand-coloring. Vidal's plates range from sweeping urban prospects and coastal landings to vividly observed genre scenes - gauchos market vendors soldiers indigenous peoples rural estates and sporting pursuits - together forming an irreplaceable visual document of the region before large-scale European modernization.<br /> <br /> The large-paper issue limited to only fifty copies is of exceptional rarity and was intended for connoisseurs and institutional libraries. With its full complement of boldly colored plates generous margins and excellent state of preservation this example represents the book at its finest. Long regarded as a cornerstone of South American iconography and one of Ackermann's most important travel publications Picturesque Illustrations of Buenos Ayres and Monte Video remains indispensable to collectors of color-plate books Latin American history and early nineteenth-century travel literature.<br /> <br /> "In 1820 began a series of books dealing with travel and scenery.

"English interest in South America flourished after the capture of Buenos Aires by Commodore Sir Home Popham and Colonel Beresford in 1806 .

1820179207London: R. Ackermann 1820. Stunning views of South America First edition a desirable copy with pre-publication watermarks dated 1818 of "the only notable colour plate book in English dealing with the Argentine" Tooley. The hand-painted aquatints offer some of the finest depictions of early 19th-century life customs and architecture in the Río de la Plata region. The English sailor Vidal 1791-1861 joined the Royal Navy in 1808 serving as a purser for the next five decades. The plates in his book were based on drawings he made when he visited South America with HMS Hyacinth in 1816-8 as secretary to the admiral on the South American Station. They constitute "the main source of pictorial information about early Argentina" Speake p. 39 and "possess a subtle charm of their own apart from their historical and geographical value" Hardie. Some of the scenes included are "Monte Video" "Church of San Domingo" "Beggar on Horseback" "Pampa Indians" "General View of Buenos Ayres from the Plaza de Toros" "Balling Ostriches" "Guachos of Tucman" and "A Horse Race". Vidal depicts the inhabitants of the Pampas and Rio de la Plata Regions outdoor markets and plazas and buildings. "Through E. Vidal's watercolours. you get a sense of the city house facades Vidal never painted any interiors made not of rare stone but of baked adobe bricks called chorizos - sausages" Wilson p. 13. The work was first published in six monthly parts between May and October 1820. The early watermarks here suggest that this volume was possibly bound from the parts rather than from later book-form issues. Ackermann announced 750 small paper and 50 large paper copies. A comparison with the Abbey copy indicates that this example is from the smaller format. Large quarto 325 x 250 mm. With 24 hand-coloured aquatint plates 1 double-page 3 folding. Twentieth-century blue morocco to style spine with raised bands gilt lettering and decoration in compartments covers bordered with blind and gilt frames board edges and turn-ins elaborately gilt grey endpapers edges gilt. Light damp staining to margins of 3 folding plates tape repair on verso of "Buenos Ayres" plate offsetting to contents faintly toned but clean. A very good copy.

1820WRCAM55021London: Published by R. Ackermann 1820. xxviii115pp. plus twenty-four colored aquatints including one double-sheet and three folding. Large quarto. Antique-style blue morocco boards tooled in gilt and blind spine gilt with raised bands a.e.g. Minor staining in lower margin and tape repair to verso of one folding plate. Occasional marginal thumbsoiling minor offsetting but on the whole quite clean internally. A very good copy handsomely bound. A superbly illustrated work about the people and places of Buenos Aires and Monte Video with striking colored aquatints by the prominent engraver and publisher R. Ackermann making this one of the premier South American view books. Some of the scenes people and places depicted are: "Monte Video" "Church of San Domingo" "Beggar on Horseback" "Pampa Indians" "General View of Buenos Ayres from the Plaza de Toros" "Balling Ostriches" "Guachos sic Rustics of Tucuman" and "A Horse Race." Also depicted are representative inhabitants of the Pampas and Rio de La Plata regions and picturesque views of outdoor markets and plazas. Originally issued in six monthly parts the work was then offered in book format apparently bound first in boards and in a later issue bound in half leather. Abbey follows Tooley in suggesting that there were apparently four issues all with the same title and plates and all with the same 1820 watermarks but he provides no satisfactory manner of differentiating the editions; and consequently aside from the original issue in six separate parts there is no means of establishing issue priority. At the time of publication Ackermann announced the production of 750 regular paper copies and fifty large-paper copies. <br> <br> "In 1820 began a series of books dealing with travel and scenery. The first was PICTURESQUE ILLUSTRATIONS OF BUENOS AYRES AND MONTE VIDEO with descriptions of scenery customs and manners by E.E. Vidal.

Maile J. Bluck T. Sutherland and D. Havell.and possess a subtle charm of their own apart from their historical and geographical value" - Hardie. <br> <br> Aside from its perplexing publishing history this book remains a beautiful pictorial record of early 19th-century life.

194616668JNew York: Dutton 1946. First Edition First Printing of the Author’s First Book. With a remarkable extensive signed inscription by Gore Vidal to Dr. William Shelton Gray Jr. written over two pages providing details on the development and history of the novel: “For Bill Gray - Twenty years later; this first and onlyedition was 5000 copies - In time all sold - There has never been a hard-cover reprint - The book was written 1944-45 - Begun aboard F.S. 35 at Chesapeake Bay just before New Year's '44. Finished at East Hampton Shortly after Hiroshima – Gore Vidal Jan 2 - 1967 NYCâ€. Vidal’s inscriptions in books are notoriously short even to close friends and this book has the longest Vidal inscription we have encountered anywhere. William Gray was the Chairman of the English Department at Randolph-Macon College in Ashland Virginia who edited Tennessee Williams’ only book of poetry In the Winter of Cities and one of W.H. Auden’s last poems “The Aliens†was dedicated to him. Gray met and befriended Vidal through Williams. Hardcover dust jacket octavo 222 pages. The volume is in very good used condition with some rubbing to the cloth edges in a very good dust jacket with some rubbing some aging and light chipping. Williwaw is the term widely thought to be Native American in origin for a sudden violent Katabatic wind common to the Aleutian Islands. The story combines war drama maritime adventure and a murder plot. The book is a World War II novel set on a U.S. ship in the Arctic waters around the Aleutians in the Pacific Ocean in the middle of the local storm season during World War II. The nervousness and tension of the crew and a handful of passengers at the approach of the Williwaw is stretched to breaking point when the Chief Engineer Duval falls overboard in suspicious circumstances.
