African American Interest Photography
Archive of photographs and letters regarding a pair of African American twin child actors
Los Angeles: N.p. 1935. Archive of material regarding a pair of prospective African American child actors including four black and white photographs of the children four autograph letters signed from a "Madame Fay" variously addressed to Mr. and Mrs. Martin Smith and an unnamed "Mr. Agent" and one typescript letter unsigned but seemingly from one of the Smiths responding to Fay's previous correspondence. Two photographs with the stamp of Adair's Studio at 4105 Central Avenue on the verso. <br/><br/>Fay's letters which identify the children as twins broadly discuss her hopes of securing acting representation for the twins facilitated by the Smiths who seem to have had some connections within the film industry. The letters also frankly address Fay's financial hardships noting "I don't expect much for myself in the start buy if I only know that I have a Dependance I will feel safer. I don't think I shall ever be able to go into any ones kitchen and the lisence is so high for readings that unless I can't find any other sorce of Deasent living I hardly know what to do" sic all. Fay's note about licenses for readings as well as her distinctive moniker suggests that she also worked as a medium or psychic in addition to having previously worked for the Smiths.<br/><br/>In her single letter to the unnamed agent Fay reiterates her desperation and states that she previously took the children to noted film and television comedy producer Hal Roach. She goes on to state her preference for the children working with a white agent and avoiding "the Central ave. agents". Central Avenue and 41st Street was the heart of African American life in Los Angeles in the early and mid-20th century a populous region commonly referred to as the "Black belt of the city" home to a rapidly growing African American community as well as numerous Black-owned enterprises. <br/><br/>As a whole the archive presents an interesting and emotive glimpse into life on the edges of Depression-era Hollywood as well as the numerous difficulties and limitations faced by African Americans in gaining entry into the film industry.<br/><br/>Photographs approximately 7.5 x 9.75 inches. Letters varying sizes. All materials generally Very Good plus lightly age-toned with some dampstaining to the letters. N.p. unknown books

Dustjacket is unclipped priced $40.00 with some mild wear and a single closed tear along lower edge of front panel; Near Fine.

Black Book is comprised of 91 images of male models many of whom he had intimate personal relationships with including his lover Jack Walls. Ken Moody the recipient of this copy was a graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology and fitness instructor at a gay-owned gym in New York when he was connected with Mapplethorpe through a mutual friend. "I met him at his studio at 24 Bond Street and we started shooting immediately. He asked me to take off my shirt and I sat in front of the camera. It was then that he produced one of the most perfect photographs that we ever took together.When we met nothing struck me as odd or terribly different or even exceptional about Robert. He just seemed like a nice white man although he was very quiet. He was very very professional and I believe that's probably because I fell outside the category of man that he was attracted to. I knew what his tastes were and I also knew that I was not that.Robert and I shot together over three years - 1983 '84 and '85. I reckon we did it 12 times in each of those years maybe a bit less. I remember reading on the internet that I was his most-photographed subject.I didn't think it was exceptional at the time I had no idea. I just assumed that when a photographer found a subject that they liked they would work with them a lot. I knew that there was chemistry between us. I knew that from the first day. I could always tell when I have chemistry with a photographer and with Robert I knew immediately that he was going to produce incredible photographs" Stansfield Ted. "Being Mapplethorpe's Muse." Another Man. October 27 2017. Moody appears in Black Book on pp.84-91 more than any other model; the photographs of him are among the most celebrated examples of Mapplethorpe's work.

Fine in the original printed mylar dustwrapper which shows some light rubbing and surface scratches still Very Good or better and rarely seen. Somewhat uncommon cloth edition of this experimental pastiche of Carpenter's aphoristic writings and Heyman's documentary photographs. Heyman b. 1930 is perhaps best known as Margaret Mead's long-time collaborator and co-author with her of the books Family and World Enough. Carpenter was a pioneer in the field of visual anthropology and a frequent collaborator with Marshall McLuhan to whose work the current volume clearly owes a debt. An easy book to find in softcover but the cloth edition is elusive especially in the absurdly fragile mylar dustwrapper. Outerbridge & Dienstfrey / Ballantine unknown books
