1967191651967. Columbia Pictures Corporation To Sir With Love 1967 documents the emergence of Sidney Poitier as a central figure in global Black cinema and the articulation of race authority and education within a transatlantic context during the Civil Rights era. The film places a Black teacher in a working-class London classroom foregrounding questions of discipline respectability and interracial social dynamics. These lobby cards provide visual evidence of how Poitier's screen persona functioned within narratives of moral authority and social mobility supporting research into African American film history postwar race relations and the international circulation of Black cultural figures.<br /> <br /> Archive of 11 original lobby cards issued by Columbia Pictures Corporation measuring between approximately 10 x 7.5 inches 10 x 8 inches and 14 x 11 inches comprising four color and seven black and white photographic stills. Each card features Sidney Poitier in staged scenes from the film including classroom interactions moments of confrontation and instruction and scenes of social engagement with students and colleagues. Notable images include Poitier receiving guidance from a fellow instructor on classroom management interacting with the school headmaster and participating in both boxing and dance sequences reflecting the narrative's blending of discipline and personal connection. Co-star Pamela Dare appears in select images emphasizing interpersonal dynamics central to the film's storyline. Several cards bear verso markings including 1960s distribution stamps and one example with a CBS Studios pastedown referencing a 1972 television broadcast indicating continued circulation beyond the initial theatrical release.<br /> <br /> Produced at a moment when Sidney Poitier had already become the first African American actor to win the Academy Award for Best Actor the film and its promotional materials contributed to shaping his public image as a figure of dignity restraint and institutional authority. To Sir With Love extended this image into an international setting situating issues of race and class within the British educational system while maintaining resonance with American audiences during a period of civil rights struggle and social change. The lobby cards offer insight into how Black masculinity and leadership were visually constructed and marketed in late 1960s cinema. Minor edge wear and light handling marks with occasional verso stamps and pastedown; images remain sharp and colors well-preserved; overall very good. A cohesive visual archive of Sidney Poitier's role in redefining Black representation in mainstream film. unknown

2016149445New York: Viking 2016. First edition of the New York Times bestselling author's second novel. Octavo original boards. Boldly signed by Amor Towles on the title page and with his custom-designed stamp of the Kremlin opposite the title page in red ink. Towles adopted the practice of adding a custom-designed stamp when signing his books as requests for signed copies soared with his books' popularity. Each stamp features a distinctive design designed by Towles himself often incorporating elements relevant to his novels such as the Kremlin for A Gentleman in Moscow and vintage car for Table for Two. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Nayon Cho. A Gentleman in Moscow follows Count Alexander Rostov an aristocrat sentenced to house arrest in the luxurious Metropol Hotel in post-revolutionary Moscow. Over the course of several decades Rostov navigates the dramatic political changes of Soviet Russia finding meaning and purpose in his relationships and the confined world of the hotel. “Beyond the door of the luxurious Hotel Metropol lies Theater Square and the rest of Moscow and beyond its city limits the tumultuous landscape of 20th-century Russia. The year 1922 is a good starting point for a Russian epic but for the purposes of his sly and winning second novel Amor Towles forgoes descriptions of icy roads and wintry dachas and instead retreats into the warm hotel lobby. The Metropol with its customs and routines is a world unto itself" New York Times Book Review. “Spread across four decades this is in all ways a great novel a nonstop pleasure brimming with charm personal wisdom and philosophic insight" Kirkus.
