184835106Wien: Gredruckt bei Joseph Ludwig 1848. First Edition. Broadside 50.75x42cm. printed blackletter; previous folds two corners neatly clipped not approaching text else Very Good to Near Fine. Proposal issued shortly before the Vienna Uprising of October 1848 during which violence broke out between the laboring class of the city and the Hapsburg army as the latter was trying to leave in order to quell the Hungarian Revolution. Löve most likely a university student at the time proposes that Vienna would best be defended if the walls surrounding the inner city were to be dismantled they would be irreparable if damaged by enemy bombardment and the moat filled in for building development. Unlocated in OCLC or KVK though noted in James E. Walsh 1848 Austrian Revolutionary Broadsides and Pamphlets 1976 p. 143 dating the broadside to June 31 1848. Löve issued another five or six titles listed in Walsh one signed in type "Redacteur I der Studentenzeitung" editor of the student newspaper; another "Redakteur des Stürmers" editor of "The Strikers".

According to Alcott Memoirs compiled from Willis’s biographical writings he provided the inspiration for the character Laurie in Little Women. Expelled from Harvard Divinity School in 1857 for his involvement with spiritualism Willis earned a medical degree moved to Rochester to work as a physician and taught at the New York Medical College for Women.

18104244France 1810. Hand-colored and color-printed stipple-engraved folding paper fan printed on recto of a single sheet backed in plain paper mounted on original wooden sticks the guards with narrow fillets of decorative bone near rivet the rivet pins with decorative glass inserts; the open fan leaf measuring approx. 169 x 450 mm. total fan height including mount 255 mm. The allegorical scene colored in watercolor and gouache; stenciled gold-printed acanthus border at top a gold border at top of otherwise blank verso. Slight wear along a few folds. <br /> <br /> A colorful woman’s fan probably produced in France for the Spanish market on the theme of choosing a lover or partner.<br /> <br /> The engraving shows at the center of a clearing in a wood a couple in classical dress the male figure representing wisdom in a helmet armor and cloak the woman with a yellow halo innocence bearing the caption “La inocencia guiada de la sabiduria para elergir un corazon†Innocence guided by wisdom to choose a heart. Flanking the couple are ten hearts some flaming five on each side each containing an emblematic figure with a one-word caption designating the pictured character trait. Those on the left are undesirable qualities e.g. a butterfly labeled Inconstancia and those on the right to which Wisdom is pointing are positive e.g. a dog on a leash labeled Fidelidad.<br /> <br /> Fans were often accessories in scenes of courting or flirtation in literature the theater and real life. This was reflected in popular themes of fan designs themselves. An English fan from the same period differently presented but bearing a similar message was featured in the Metropolitan Museum of Art's 2026 “Fanmania†exhibit Met object no. 38.91.23. It shows “an array of potential suitors cast as contrasting types. In addition to offering amusement the fan might have provided a degree of moralizing instruction to young women on behaviors to either avoid or embrace in a prospective beau†exhibit label. <br /> <br /> unknown

18886182Savannah GA: The Morning News Print 1888. Good. 8¼" x 6". Green cloth over boards title gilt. Pp. 5 A-E 6 iv-v blank page 360. Good: Ex-library with remnants of call number to spine bookplate due cards and embossed stamp on title page; moderately shaken boards moderately worn with losses at spine tips ffep heavily notated. <br /> <br /> This is another copy of Love's History with several outstanding associations. <br /> <br /> A partially obscured inscription on the front pastedown shows that this particular copy was presented by R.R. Wright to D.C. Suggs. Richard Robert Wright Sr. who wrote part of the book's introduction was born into slavery in Georgia in 1855 and was valedictorian of the first graduating class of Atlanta University now known as the HBCU Clark Atlanta. He became an educator and newspaper editor who went on to serve as the first president of the Georgia Industrial College for Colred Youths GICCY the first public institution of higher learning for African Americans in the state. Under Wright's leadership GICCY hosted renowned lecturers including Booker T. Washington Mary McLeod Bethune and Mary Church Terrell. Wright later founded the first Black-owned bank in Philadelphia and co-founded the first organization of Black-owned banks in the country. <br /> <br /> The recipient of the book Dr. Daniel Cato Suggs was born in Wilson North Carolina in 1865. He was a wealthy Black businessman active in real estate and a teacher in the public school systems of North Carolina. He served as a professor at GICCY before being elected president in 1917 of Livingston College a private HBCU in Salisbury North Carolina noted for its strong affiliation with the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church. <br /> <br /> This volume also contains a bookplate from Bennett College in Greensboro. Founded in 1873 as a normal school to educate freedmen and train both men and women as teachers Bennett is now a private HBCU liberal arts college for women. <br /> <br /> There is yet another interesting facet to this copy: the front free endpaper has two pages of handwritten notes regarding a speech given by David B. Hill in Savannah in 1892 as he was campaigning to be the Democratic candidate for United States President. We found the entirety of the speech's text in a newspaper account online and note the oddity of the possibility of a Southern African American attending a Democratic candidate' speech at that time. <br /> <br /> OCLC shows six holdings of the physical book over four entries. A unique copy with wonderful associations of Love's important history of the First African Baptist Church. The Morning News Print unknown
