The Liberation of Women in China. Printed by Highland Park: Internationals Socialists n.d. 49 pages. 5.5" x 8.5" inches. Original wrappers Pamphlet. Argues that the liberation of women in China had become subordinate to the needs of the state and industrialization. Highland Park: International Socialists n.d. circa 1970s. Original printed wrappers 49 pages. 5.5 × 8.5 inches. Tables footnotes.<br /> <br /> A scarce radical pamphlet issued by the International Socialists examining the gender politics of post-revolutionary China. The work critiques the Chinese Communist Party’s claims to women’s emancipation contending that the liberation of women had been made subordinate to the demands of state-building and industrial growth. In opposition to official party rhetoric the pamphlet situates women’s issues within the broader political economy arguing that while the Communist revolution opened limited avenues for women’s participation in the labor force and public life genuine equality was sacrificed to the state’s overriding needs of production modernization and social control. Tables and statistical data are included to support its argument with footnotes directing readers to both Chinese sources and Western Marxist analysis. Pamphlets from the International Socialists are relatively uncommon especially those with sustained attention to global feminist and socialist struggles. This text is significant in documenting how New Left and Trotskyist organizations in the United States attempted to reframe Chinese Communism through a feminist lens situating women’s emancipation not as a fulfilled revolutionary promise but as a deferred and compromised project. For institutional collections it offers an important perspective on the intersections of gender Marxism and internationalism in the mid-20th century while also reflecting the intellectual currents of American socialist critique. Mild wear to wrappers otherwise well-preserved. Overall Very Good. unknown

First edition of this beautiful work of sentimental poetry and fine colour printing. Louise Clarkson Whitelock b. 1865 a noted artist who published works on home decoration and art instructionpenned the poems included here and illustrated them with etchings and lithographs.The other poems on lilies and flowers beautifully illuminated with heavy inking and rather oily colours were a deliberate effort to imitate oil paintings by the artist and printer. A. Hoen -- considered one of the finest lithographic printing firms in America -- printed the first colour cards ever produced in the United States and the first lithographic maps printed in the country as well in 1842 for the Fremont Reports. August Hoen patented in the 1860s what he termed the Lithocaustic method of lithography which allowed for easier viewing of the etching in the stone while in process making the shading of gradients and halftones a much more exact and faster process. He received critical acclaim at the 1876 Exposition for this process. See: BAL 11428 Indian Summer; Bill Edwards A. Hoen & Co. J.L. Sibole Publisher, A.

[CIRCUS -- SUFFRAGE/WOMEN]. [TIEMANN, Hermann Newell (Photographer)].
Excellent silver gelatin photograph of Madison Square Garden in New York City featuring the Barnum & Bailey Circus which presented their elaborate Cleopatra-themed show during their run in 1912. This was also the site of the circus suffrage event organized by the women performers of the Barnum & Bailey circus led by Jodie De Mott and Zella Florence.
New York: H.N. Tiemann Co. 4 East 30th St. March 1912. One silver gelatin photo. 7.5 x 8.5 in. w/ embossed photographer’s stamp at lower left corner pencil annotations on verso of photo 1 corner w/ very slight loss still VG image with bright strong contrast. This image depicts the famed Renaissance Revival structure based on the Moorish Giralda Tower in Spain at Fifth & Madison Ave. in March 1912. Designed by Stanford White for McKim Mead & White this historic venue included the largest amphitheater in America equipped with a tank for aquatic shows a rooftop theatre cabaret restaurant and concert hall. The Cleopatra spectacle featured 1500 performers including the African-American minstrel troop organized by James Wolfscale featuring his three sons and the rest of the musicians mounted on camels playing their instruments. The show which ran from March 23 - April 22 1912 is perhaps best remembered for the widely reported suffrage rally held by 75 women circus performers of the world’s first “Circus Suffrage Society†and notably snubbed by the socialite Suffrage Movement leaders including Harriet Stanton Blatch. Led by Josie De Mott a bareback trick rider acrobat Zella Florence and included women animal trainers wire walkers hand balancers dancers acrobats and the renowned female Hercules -- Katie Sandwina. This Madison Square Garden was demolished in 1924 after the New York Life Insurance Co. which held the mortgage built their landmark Cass Gilbert-designed New York Life Building and another Madison Square Garden venue was opened on 8th Ave. between 49th and 50th.

[Civil War] [Women] [Cushman, Pauline] Sutterley & Co
Carte-de-Visite of Pauline Cushman
Virginia City: Sutterley and Co 1867. Albumen photograph on mount 4 x 2 ½ inches. Pauline Cushman was an actress and one of the most successful spies for the Union Army. She ingratiated herself with the Confederate army by toasting Jefferson Davis after one of her performances. She was eventually caught and sentenced to death by hanging. She was spared only due to the arrival of the Union Army. <br /> <br /> After the war she toured the country giving lectures and performances recounting her experiences as a spy. She eventually headed west marrying in 1872 in San Francisco and eventually working a range of jobs in Arizona Territory Texas and eventually back in San Francisco where she died in 1893 at age 60 from a morphine overdose. <br /> <br /> We find no record of this portrait which was taken by the Sutterley brothers James and Clement in their Virginia City Nevada studio somewhere between 1864 and 1867. The Sutterleys operated out of their studio on the Union block of Virginia City for five years before dissolving their partnership in 1867. It is likely that the portrait was taken during one of Cushman’s tours throughout the region during these years. <br /> <br /> A beautifully preserved example in very good condition with a small chip to upper margin and some fading. Though Cushman ostensibly would have sold cartes-de-visite in support of her touring few survive on the market today. Sutterley and Co unknown

Sketch of the origin and results of Ladies' Prison Associations, with hints for the formation of local associations.
London : Published by John and Arthur Arch, 1827 [Printed by the Philanthropic Society] 1 volume in-12 (19,7 x 11,7 cm) de (1)-66 pages. Cartonnage de l'époque plein papier gris. Étiquette de titre de l'époque imprimée (titre en long). Cartonnage miraculeusement conservé en parfait état. Intérieur très frais imprimé sur beau papier vélin de cuve. En grande partie non coupé. First edition. "It having been suggested, that a short account of the commencement, progress, and success of the measures adopted for the Reformation of Female Prisoners, would be useful, not only for the information of those who are disposed to aid and support, but also for the encouragement of those who are willing personally to labour in this deeply interesting and necessary work ; the Committee of the Ladies' British Society, established for the reformation of Female Prisoners, deem it incumbent upon them to make public the following statement : — In the year 1813, in consequence of the representations of several individuals of the Society of Friends, Mrs. Joseph Fry first visited the Prison of Newgate. In two wards and two cells, comprising about 190 superficial square yards, 300 females were at that time confined — those who had not been tried, and who are, therefore, by our laws presumed innocent, — those who had been convicted, whatever might have been the magnitude of their offence, (even though they had received sentence of death,) were associated together without distinction or classification ; and saw their friends, took charge of their children, cooked, washed, ate, drank, and slept within this limited space. It is not possible, neither would it be desirable, accurately to represent the consequences which ensued ; the atmosphere of the rooms, the ferocious manners and expressions of the women toward each other, and the abandoned conduct of all around, were wholly indescribable. The Governor himself felt it necessary to request Mrs. Fry to leave her watch before she entered amongst these wretched beings, observing, that even his presence would not prevent its being violently torn from her.

They left the sternwheeler and packing three children their belongings and camera equipment they secured a camping spot. However their daughter Norma climbed on an old stump to get a better view and “put her foot in a yellow-jacket nest and the way she climbed down from there and screamed was enough to bring everyone from the other camps . . . we fought yellow-jackets and ran a half mile to keep up with Norma.†The family does manage to find an abandoned house to camp in manage their breakfast and then hike and travel along the rim into Oneonta Gorge and decided later to return back home “on account of Elvah’s back.â€Reck records one of his many photo shoot excursions when on April 3 1910 he takes off with fellow enthusiast and machinist Ed Leppert to take photos at Cazadero OR at the time a stop on the Estacada Interurban Railway Line of the PRL&P Co. catching Train No 62 shot logging pictures below Boring OR and then fishing near the Clackamas River at Eagle Creek OR.

[COWBOYS -- MONTANA RODEO/WOMEN]. RODRIGUEZ, Donna Blair Abbott (Photographer).
A collection of test street prints for the June 1987 Miles City Ranch Rodeo held at the Eastern Montana Fairgrounds featuring action shots of bull riders calf roping bronc riding cowboys and portrait of Native American woman.
Sebastapol & Santa Rosa CA: Donna Blair Abbott Rodriguez Feb. 1988. Fourteen silver gelatin photographs 11 x 14 in. w/ each of the images having a healthy margin rendering many of them approx. 8 x 10.5 in. printed on Seagull Oriental G-3 Photographic paper stock some curling to fore-edges preserved in original photographic paper box manuscript annotations & title on lid in Rodriguez’ hand. This grouping of exceptional photographs of events and participants documents the Miles City Ranch Rodeo in Eastern Montana with an energy and intimacy often seen in her tattoo and travel photographs. The first shows a bull rider having lost his hat and bull literally almost stampeding over rodeo clown; followed by two vivid bronc riding photos one of which shows the Culbertson ambulance waiting just outside of the gate. Three different rodeo riders are shown competing in the calf roping events while others show riders taping up for events or seated and waiting to be called outside the nearby stalls. The portrait of a young Native American woman is quite striking. Donna Rodriguez b. 1944 noted Sebastapol and Santa Rosa CA artist photographer and onetime spouse of Bert Rodriguez was perhaps best known for her California tattoo photographs shot in and around the Santa Rosa Tattoo Studio in the 1980s & 1990s but also documented cultures in Mexico and Southeast Asia before later retiring to Portland OR.

The Dayton Police Department was at the cutting edge during the Progressive Era not only hiring and incorporating African-Americans and Women into their police force but also one of the earliest in the U.S. to adopt the Bertillon System for criminal identification pre-dating fingerprint identifications by 15 years and in 1879 was one of the earliest to require photographs taken of all arrested “noted criminals and suspicious characters.†This work contains an excellent photograph of William Jenkins b. 1865 the first African-American hired by the Dayton OH police in 1898 and would continue serving with the city until 1917 when he was forced to retire after suffering serious injuries arresting four of six members of the notorious local “Alabama Gang†in November 1916. Renowned for running down suspects his left hand right hip and eye nerves were injured in the fight and after retirement became a security guard for National Cash Register. The second African-American was Ptl. Lucius Rice b. 1876 who had recently been appointed patrolman in 1909 after serving with Company C of the Ohio National Guard winning in 1908 the government medal for marksmanship rose to Sergeant in 1916 the first African-American to hold a supervisory rank and continued his career until killed in the line of duty after a 1939 shoot-out with a suspect. Of additional interest are the second and third Dayton OH police department employees Ida Van Skaik d. 1922 who served as jail matron onsite and traded off 12 hour shifts with the other Kate Allen who served until 1927 and was the first policewoman to receive a pension from Dayton OH.

[Cycling Clubs - Women - Nineteenth Century]
A Collection of Twelve Photographs of a Women’s Cycling Club c. 1890s
Location Unknown Possibly Britain 1890. Twelve sepia-toned silver photographs most ost 3 3/16 x 4 3/16 in. Some light curling and foxing good to very good overall. Good. Female cycling clubs flourished in the late Victorian age particularly in England. The clubs offered women a chance to travel in greater safety than would be possible traveling alone. Women had been involved in cycling since the sport’s inception though they were discouraged from riding high-wheelers and instead were encouraged to ride tricycles. The introduction of the Safety bicycle increased women’s access to the sport and also a proliferation of cycling clubs in the 1890s some with social or political affiliations. This group shows a cycling club ride mostly composed of women though some men are present and gives an intimate view of cycling club culture of the time. unknown

[DANCE SCHOOL PHOTOS -- JAZZ AGE/WOMEN]. [KNOWLES, Annabelle Gertrude (Director); BAKER, Almeron Joseph, BEEM, Ira Kintner & CEN
A captivating group of commercial studio photographs of the performers performances and costumes at the Hollywood College of Music Dancing and Fine Arts in Portland Oregon as the Jazz Age descended into the Great Depression. The performers of the “Baby Vanities†and “Kiddie Revue†range in age from 6 & 7 to teenage years including both girls and boys.
Portland OR: Hollywood College of Music Dancing & Fine Arts Baker Studio Granada Studio La Vere Photo Shoppe Photo Craft Studios ca. 1930-1933. Oblong 4to. 24 original photographs all preserved in archival mylar sleeves sized 6.25 x 7 in. up to 8 x 10 in. some w/ photographer’s imprint w/in negative others w/ manuscript captions added a few w/ annotations and/or photographer’s instructions on versos all with bright strong contrast a few w/ offsetting from previous mounting on versos and one w/ very small pinholes at corners from prior mounting. Recent cloth binder stamping front cover excellent grouping. These photographs vividly document the dance and music studio operated by Annabelle Knowles reflecting the fast evolving costumes and aesthetics of the twilight of the Roaring 20’s as the U.S. descended into the Great Depression. These photos also clearly reflect the influence of Gus Edwards 1879-1945 vaudeville’s premier producer of kiddie acts and who had produced and released the shorts “Kiddie Revue†in 1930 and 1931. His influence was not only driven by his songs “By the Light of the Silvery Moon & “School Days†but also discovering such stars as Groucho Marx Eddie Cantor Mae Murray Sally Rand and many others. The images depict girls in two-piece outfits in front of Art Deco staging for “Body and Soulâ€; bare-backed girls in Flapper Era inspired costumes for chorus line “Kiddie Revueâ€; song and dance routines featuring Ronald Chetwood in top hat with Marcile Shillito Virginia Collins and chorus line in Jazz Age era costumes and canes; and several show Barbara Jane Wicks Shirley Jay Mulkey and Sunny Dentler in Spanish inspired costumes for “Baby Vanities.†Another shows adolescent boy and girl dance team in an “Apache†dance inspired costume number. The Hollywood College of Music Dance & Fine Arts offered classes and instruction in all ages with the last few photos showing teenage girls in chorus line with short hair coquettish expressions and teamwork or chorus line numbers. Annabelle Knowles 1900-1989 was a musician and dancer who founded the Hollywood College of Music Dancing & FIne Arts at 4112 NE Sandy Blvd. some time in the late 1920’s. Most of the street directory references focus on 1929-1932 and her British-America theatre-director husband at the time Vincent Knowles 1883-1944 worked at the studio as well. Baker 1882-1972 was a longtime commercial studio photographer in Portland OR who had initially begun as a photographer with noted tourist travel guide Howard Eaton photographing tours through National Pakrs. Beem 1892-1984 was founder and photographer at Granada Studio located in the 1930’s at 515 Swetland Building in Portland. Centlivere 1878-1964 owned and operated La Vere Photo Shoppe and Photo Craft Studios on Sandy Blvd. in Portland for nearly all of his career. We could find no similar collections or photographs or even references to Annabelle Knowles and very few examples of any of these three photography studios in institutional holdings.
