194440374London: George G. Harrap & Co. Ltd 1944. First edition. Softcover. g- to vg. Oblong octavo. Unpaginated. 48pp. Original illustrated wrappers and title page. <br /> <br /> "Those Three" Hitler Mussolini and Tojo is a splendid collection of 44 anti-Axis cartoons by Catalan artist Mario Hubert Armengol 1909-1995 published with a foreword by Catalan historian and founder of the Anglo-Catalan Society Dr Josep Maria Batista I Roca. <br /> <br /> In this work Armengol displays the bombed out German cities as chimney teeth and window eyes rugged against the sky. Mussolini is depicted as Hitler's puppet always taking orders from the Fuehrer. and always failing. Other cartoons show Pétain hunched in greatcoat and French military trousers with senile wrinkles and bedraggled moustache walking with the squinting squit-faced Laval in his jet black coat and pinstripes. Both clutch their coat flaps together against a cold wind as they stumble past the ruins of France. Behind them is an angry scowling Marianne. Her face is despair hardening into hatred and Laval and Pétain dare not look back at her. Mario Armengol's masterpiece though is "The Fakir wants Comfort." It shows Gandhi looking ambiguously at a bed of nails marked "Made in Japan" which has just been delivered by Japanese general and premier Tojo in uniform. Behind Gandhi is a clean white bed with bright white headboard marked "Made in England". The background is black but streaming down like stalactites of blood. It is of course an echo of the greatest of Britain's war-leaders Winston Churchill's famous description of Gandhi in 1930 as: posing as a fakir…. striding half-naked…. to parley on equal terms with the representative of the king-emperor.<br /> <br /> Wrappers partly rubbed and creased along edges. Pages slightly rippled throughout. Four pages disbound but present. Wrappers in overall good- interior in good to very good condition. George G. Harrap & Co. Ltd unknown

197143806Hull: Hull University 1971. First Edition. Very good. Original poster for an Afro Rock event at Hull University featuring one of the most important bands of the movement Assagai. Afro Rock which had its strongest incarnation in the UK in the late sixties and early seventies combined Western rock instrumentation with African and Afro-Cuban rhythms and percussion. Assagai featured emegrees from both South Africa and Nigeria as well a Ghana; the lineup included drummer Louis Moholo trumpeter/flautist Mongezi Feza alto saxophonist Dudu Pukwana tenor saxophonist Bizo Mngqikana guitarist/bassist Fred Coker their chief songwriter and Terri Quaye - the first professional female congaist in the UK. Assagai issued just two highly-reguarded albums both in 1971 on Vertigo Records one of the few if not the only all-black band signed to that legendary rock label and this poster dates from that peak. While they broke up shortly after this gig the members went on to long careers in various other jazz and prog groups. A striking poster from this significant but poorly documented group. Poster silk-screened in blue gold and red. Mild wear creasing. Some rubbing. Else bright and sound. Very good. Hull University unknown

1967000012029San Francisco: Family Dog Productions 1967 1967. First edition. Poster. Very near Fine. 50.5 cm x 36 cm. Poster printed in white black pink and orange. Designed by Mouse Studios Stanley Mouse and Alton Kelley. Lights at the concert done by Diogenes Lantern Works. Van Morrison's singles "Gloria" and "Brown Eyed Girl" advertised on the poster. Places to purchase tickets are advertised at the bottom of the poster and include several bookstores on Colfax Avenue in Denver. Grushkin FD-D6. King FD-D6. The central photograph is taken from an 1898 image of Chief Josh a San Carlos Apache. Many hippies believed in the importance of living in harmony with nature and used Native American imagery to promote that message. The poster's design is a brilliant example of the psychedelic aesthetic of the Counterculture Movement. Only one impression of this poster was done when it was printed. Difficult to find in commerce this is an exceptional example. Family Dog Productions [1967] unknown

191496128New York: Knickerbocker Press 1914. 1st ed. Hardcover. Very Good. frontis photos 148p. Original blue cloth. 21 cm. Top edge gilt. Some cover spotting and wear mostly on and round backstrip which is otherwise sound. Spine lettering darkened. No jacket. Roche came from a prominent white femily in Mobile Alabama. The first part of this book is Roche's discussion of slavery and what she saw as Black inferiorioty. What makes this book special is that pages 65-148 focus on the Clotilde probably the last known American-owned slave ship which brought a cargo of African captives to Mobile Alabama in 1859 and the subsequent experiences and opinions of those captives based in part on Roche's interviews with Cudjoe Lewis also known as Kazoola and Poleete two of the African captives on the Clotilde. Portions of the Roche book appear almost word for word and sometimes word for word in Zora Neale Hurston's article "Cudjo's Own Study of the Last African Slaver" in The Journal of Negro History Vol. 12 No. 4 Oct. 1927 at pages 648-664.
