Light surface wear and dust-soiling minor edge wear to mount. Ownership signature in blue pencil on verso reading "Miss Gordon Fredericton." A delightful profile portrait of the great Victoria Claflin Woodhull 1838-1927. Woodhull was a force of nature in 19th-century American politics journalism finance and society.

The newspaper printed articles in favor of women's suffrage spiritualism communism the weekly published the first English-language edition of Karl Marx's The Communist Manifesto free love equal rights and other important progressive issues. Though Woodhull's popularity would decline in the late-1870s due to the radical nature of her views and an obscenity charge stemming from publication of a story about an affair between Henry Ward Beecher and one of his congregants she continued to work in support of women's suffrage and publish periodicals even after relocating to England. She lived out her elderly years in the English countryside where she died in 1927. Geo. Stinson & Co unknown‎

‎New York: C.D. Fredricks & Co. Theatrical Portrait Gallery No. 2 1880. Cartes-de-visite photograph 3.5 x 2.25 inches on a slightly larger studio mount. Minor wear and dust-soiling. Very good. A charming photocollage incorporating tiny headshots of a hundred women of the American theater in the late-19th century into one CDV.

‎[Women]: [African Americana]: [Texas]: Johnson, Estella V Sales‎

‎Manuscript Memory Book and Scrapbook Compiled by an African American Woman Studying at Prairie View State Normal & Industrial College Just After the First World War Including a Series of Diary-Style Entries and Numerous Inscriptions by Classmates‎

‎Prairie View TX 1920. 92pp. of ink manuscript plus eighteen photographs and seven ephemeral items on an additional 11pp. Original scrapbook 12.25 x 8.5 inches. Ownership inscription on front pastedown reading "Estella V. Sells Prairie View College May 17 1920." A well-used personal scrapbook with binding loose with cover nearly detached covers worn with mild staining pages toned and occasionally chipped along margins fading to ink entries along edges of pages though nearly all content legible with care. Good condition. A wonderful scrapbook compiled by Estella Sells Johnson 1897-1900 a young African American woman studying at Prairie View State Normal & Industrial College now Prairie View A & M University documenting her time there in 1919 and 1920. Johnson was born in Jasper County Texas to Watkin and Matilda Sells. She was the 1918 valedictorian of her class at the segregated Jasper High School and enrolled at Prairie View that same year through the summer of 1920. In 1920 she married Reverend Napoleon Johnson shortly thereafter giving birth to her two children. She was finally able to complete her undergraduate degree in 1936 and earned a master's degree in education in 1950. Throughout all this she continued to work in the Jasper school system in a career that lasted forty-six years until retiring in 1966. The scrapbook is accompanied by a copy of her institutionally unrecorded family-published autobiography The Responsibilities of a Christian Life published 1990 as well as a photograph of her from later in life.<br /> <br /> The eighteen photographs in the scrapbook consist of portraits of peers around campus some captioned as well as a photograph of the Prairie View band and a candid photo of the Samuel Huston College HBCU football team. Ephemera includes an alumni banquet invitation a musical program for chapel services a program for a senior class pageant a commencement day program with laid-in college song lyrics an orchestra program a commencement sermon program and a calling card. Several of the programs appear to have been trimmed possibly from larger leaflets.<br /> <br /> The scrapbook also contains forty pages of inscriptions and autographs from classmates and faculty at the school some quite detailed and heartfelt. An additional fifty-two handwritten pages meanwhile provide densely written detailed descriptions of events at the school plus personal anecdotes inside jokes poems class songs and slogans quotations by classmates and faculty as well as entries describing Estella's own feelings regarding life at school. Many of the pages contain diary-style descriptions of events at the school including banquets dances recitals and a sports meet with Bishop College. One five-page entry narrates a visit by famed African American missionary Max Yergan to the campus under the auspices of the YMCA as well as lectures and a sermon given at the same conference by Channing Heggie Tobias. Her description reads in part: "Friday night Mr. Max Yeargan Missionary to India and Africa gave a series of stereopticon Views with lectures. These views treated of the conditions existing in those countries modes of living customs and great preponderance of illiteracy. Especially interesting was his account of of his experiences and adventures in traveling. Doctors and nurses are few for the large population and consequently a large number of inhabitants die for the want of medical attention. He expressed his hope that in response to the call of a needy people there would be those in America Texas and even Prairie View who would answer willing. Mr. Yeargan is planning to return to Africa in the early fall and solicits the support of all well-wishers. Over $300 was subscribed by friends to aid him in this work."<br /> <br /> Mr. Yeargan is a wide awake young Christian worker and is giving his life to this service for the betterment of humanity. His life is in truth worthy of emulation. At the platform meeting on Saturday Mr. Channing H. Tobias International Secretary New York was presented and gave a very masterly discussion on "The Church" telling of the purpose of the Church from its early establishment and its rightful place in the World's program. He emphasized the fact that the Church was the nucleus around which all life was centered and when men would come to a realization of this then it would be that conditions would assume a normal state and mean for the reestablishment of a Christian era.<br /> <br /> Another two page entry meanwhile gives an account of the 1919 observance of National Negro Health Week held at the college: "Dr. Osborn next introduced Dr. J.M. Franklin resident physician who discussed the knowledge of medicine among Negroes and what is being done to improve the faculties for handling disease among colored people as well as increasing advantage for Negroes to acquire training in the medical profession…and laid a deal of emphasis on the fact that the time is here when people will not even patronize a doctor because he happens to be black unless he can deliver the goods."<br /> <br /> A third entry covering two pages describes a visit to campus by sociologist Franklin H. Giddings. Other pages contain an essay titled "Ideals for Girls" inspirational poetry titled "Life" and "It Can Be Done" a lost and found "Advertisement" "lost a precious lad about 4 1/2 feet tall" a heartfelt entry on receiving a gift from a "home girl" quotations from faculty "Miss Bass 'This is the biggest mess I even seen its so bad'" and more. Other humorous entries include an anecdote about accidentally locking "Miss Williams" in a room a sketch titled "this scene open with a Negro in a court room who had filed complaint against his wife for rocking him to sleep" a dialogue between "Prof Butler" and "Dean Griggs" and a humorous anecdote by "Dean Reynolds" about seeing "one of my white friends coming down the same street in a big Nash Six sitting like he had conquered the whole world" and being told "Uncle aren’t you tired of walking.why don't you run for a while." Finally a comic song titled "The Twenty-Third Psalm of the Flunkers" reflects the anxieties of college life: "The twenty-third psalm of the flunkers. The teachers are my shepherds I shall not want. The leaders me resides the classics. I fear my studies far zeroes demerits and even a ticker for home may not comfort me."<br /> <br /> OCLC locates a single printed yearbook from Prairie View that was published in 1917 with 1926 as the next recorded year. The present volume combining elements of a diary scrapbook and yearbook thus fills a gap in the history of the institution while also providing detailed personal insights of a young African woman attending college in Texas during a period of intense Jim Crow segregation. unknown‎

‎[Women]: [United States Army Nurse Corps]: Frazier, Erma J‎

‎Pair of Annotated Vernacular Photograph Albums and Scrapbooks Documenting the World War II Homefront Service of Lt. Erma Jean Frazier in the U.S. Army Nurse Corps‎

‎Various locations mainly Texas Oklahoma and Arkansas 1945. Two albums. Album I: 24 leaves illustrated with twenty-four original photographs over two dozen postcards mostly photographic original letters and military documents and a large quantity of ephemeral items. Folio. Contemporary cream cloth decoratively stamped on front board in gilt and silver string tied. Album II: 11 leaves illustrated with ninety-eight photographs in mounting corners six loose photos and a couple of ephemeral items. Oblong folio. Contemporary brown cloth decoratively stamped on front board in gilt yellow and red string tied. Overall minor wear. Very good condition. A pair of annotated vernacular photograph album / scrapbooks compiled by Lt. Erma J. Frazier and her mother during her wartime service in the U.S. Army Nurse Corps. Frazier served in the Nurse Corps at various hospitals in the Trans-Mississippi West at Camp Swift in Bastrop Texas; Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio Texas; Okmulgee Oklahoma; and Camp Robinson Arkansas. Frazier hailed from East Brady Pennsylvania and worked as a Registered Nurse at the nearby Kittanning Hospital before she entered military service. She enlisted in early 1945 and served throughout the conclusion of the Second World War. The present albums record her service time in unusual detail with a mixture of original photographs picture postcards original military documents a few manuscript letters and various ephemeral items.<br /> <br /> The first album was compiled by Frazier's mother who inscribes the first page: "I dedicate this book to my daughter Erma Jean Eberhart Frazier who entered the Armed Services on March 17 1945 as a 2nd Lt. in the Nurse Army Corps a Camp Swift Texas." This album focuses mainly on Frazier's time at Camp Swift and Okmulgee Oklahoma. This album contains the lion's share of the ephemera including a patch the floral corsage she wore on the day she left for service military paperwork and forms and various newspaper clippings. The military paperwork includes enlistment documents including her "Application for Appointment" a manuscript postcard from the director of the Red Cross describing Frazier as a "professional qualified for military service" Army documents on qualifications for nurses and more. Other ephemera includes letters and cards received by her at Camp Swift a page of five pressed "Flowers from Texas" each preserved in a small plastic bag shipping tags from packages of clothing sent home by Frazier a couple of church programs a page of ten small postcards from her visit to Austin a menu from Brooke General & Convalescent Hospital at Fort Sam Houston some greeting cards and so forth. The photographs include portraits of Frazier from 1943 and 1944 while a nursing student; eight pictures of Frazier and other soldiers at Camp Swift; and eight shots of Frazier fellow soldiers and their barracks and administration buildings at Okmulgee Oklahoma.<br /> <br /> The second album was compiled by Frazier herself who provides a manuscript title on the inside front cover: "Memories of the Army Nurse Corps." There are also two photographs inscribed in the first person "Me on arrival at G.G.H." and "side entrance to my barracks G.G.H.". This album is almost entirely comprised of captioned photographs particularly valuable for identifying numerous fellow soldiers serving with Frazier. The images emanate from the last three locations at which Frazier served which she lists on the inside front cover: Brooke General Hospital at Fort Sam Houston Glennon General Hospital in Okmulgee and Regional Hospital at Camp Robinson Arkansas. Perhaps Frazier felt her mother's album largely focused on Camp Swift sufficiently memorialized here time there. The photographs are presented in chronological order and include portraits of dozens of men and women with whom Frazier served or patients served by Frazier often accompanied by informative and sometimes humorous manuscript captions on the album leaves or directly on the images. The photos also picture the hospitals themselves and include a handful of images taken during leisure time on base.<br /> <br /> A unusually informative pair of World War II-era albums and scrapbooks preserving the service of a highly-qualified Army nurse from Pennsylvania serving in the American West during the last year of the war. unknown‎

‎[Women]: [Art]: [Spongberg, Grace]: [Hayes, Hatti]‎

‎Small Archive of Materials by Noted Artist Grace Spongberg Including a Wonderful Sketchbook Plus an Assortment of Photographs Featuring Her and Her Longtime Companion African-American Artist Hatti Hayes‎

‎Mainly Chicago Il 1975. Very good. Spiral-bound sketchbook with nineteen full-page sketches some in color and some in pencil 12 x 9 inches; plus a finished color painting on art board 14 x 9.75 inches; twenty-eight photographs 3 x 3 inches to 8 x 10 inches; fourteen printed art exhibition catalogues; and a handful of ephemeral items. General overall wear. A wonderful archive of original artwork photographs programs and assorted ephemeral items belonging to noted Swedish-American and Illinois visual artist Grace Spongberg 1906-1992. Spongberg was educated at the Art Institute of Chicago where she studied under American Impressionists Albert Krehbiel and Louis Rittman. She traveled extensively in Mexico Europe and the Far East which informed her work throughout her career. The Illinois Women Artists Project describes Spongberg's categories of artistic production as "Ceramicist Lithographer Painter-Oil Pastelist Photographer Watercolorist." During her rich and fruitful career Spongberg completed muralist commissions under the Works Progress Administration painted private commissions exhibited at numerous museums in the United States and around the world and created a large body of paintings and lithographs that still trade on the art market today. Her four-panel mural in the lobby of the Bennett School in Chicago completed as part of the WPA's Federal Art Project in 1939 is still on display there.<br /> <br /> Grace Spongberg's original artwork is present here in two forms. The first is a quarto spiral-bound sketchbook in which she sketched a variety of subjects and settings. The drawings feature mostly urban scenes with drawings of buildings fountains a clock tower urban gardens and other scenes. One of the color drawings appears to picture seven flags arranged before a hedge row and may show part of the grounds of the United Nations in New York City. The second piece of original art here is a pastel impressionist depiction of what appears to be a Mexican woman carrying her small child on her back in a baby sling. The pastel was executed on art board and is unsigned but is unmistakably Spongberg's style. This piece was likely produced in the 1930s during her time working with the WPA when she was known to have made lithographs of various scenes in Mexico.<br /> <br /> In addition to the artwork the present collection includes twenty-seven photographs. These images feature some of Spongberg's paintings interior settings in her home Spongberg engaging with others at an art exhibition Spongberg at work on an architectural painting and more. A pair of black-and-white photographs feature Humpty-Dumpty-like characters painted on a bedroom wall; the manuscript caption on the verso of each identifies them as one of Spongberg's commissions described as "Decoration on nursery wall in a private home." Another photograph pictures a serigraph of Spongberg's painting "Open Shutters which according to the manuscript caption on the verso was "Property of the Chicago Society of Artists - This is the 1951 print presented to lay members." Most interestingly eight of the photographs feature Spongberg's longtime companion - an African-American artist named Hatti Hayes. Some of the photographs here feature the women both individually and together from relative youth to both women in their elder years. These include two black-and-white portraits of a smoldering Hayes taken in her younger years. The two also apparently traveled together as early as 1954 where they both appear on the Passenger List of a Trans World Airlines flight from New York to Paris. According to one newspaper record in November 1951 the two women exhibited ceramics together at the Benedict Art Gallery of Hull House in Chicago. The exact nature of the women's relationship -- whether it was platonic or romantic -- is unknown to us though they did in fact live together. The only envelope present here a 1983 envelope sent by the Chicago Symphony Society is addressed to both of them at a Rush Street address in Chicago.<br /> <br /> The present collection also includes over a dozen art exhibition catalogues. The catalogues date from 1934 to 1952. All but two of them feature various paintings watercolors or prints by Spongberg but one relates to an art piece by Hayes The latest-dated catalogue here for the 1952 Wichita Art Association's Decorative Arts and Ceramics Exhibition features a submission for an enamel plate by Hatti Hayes. In addition the material above the collection also contains a handful of ephemeral items. Most notably are an unsigned two-page typed meditation on the dropping of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima and a 1936 newspaper clipping memorializing Spongberg's prize-winning painting "Washington Square Chicago" which garnered the "purchase prize" at the eighteenth exhibition of the Swedish-America Art Association. The clipping states that the painting would eventually head to Växjö Sweden to be part of the town museum's permanent collection. According to the Illinois Women Artists Project this painting the aforementioned Bennet School mural and another mural at the Mason Elementary School in Chicago are Spongberg's permanent holdings.<br /> <br /> This is truly a case of the sum being greater than the parts and provides a much-needed foothold in researching the little-known career of Grace Spongberg. The material also provides unique photographs documenting the long-term relationship between Spongberg and Hayes the latter a distinguished artist in her own right. unknown‎

‎[Women]: [Civil War]: Barton, Clara‎

‎Y.M.L.A. Miss Clara Barton. This Celebrated Woman Will Deliver Her Famous Lecture Work and Incidents of Army Life Before the Young Mens' Literary Association at Morrison. caption title‎

‎Morrison WI 1867. Broadside 26.75 x 20.25 inches printed on thin paper. Old folds some creasing edges occasionally a bit frayed with a few small nicks or tears a couple of minor losses along folds. Overall very good condition. A striking and seemingly unique surviving broadside advertising a January 26 1867 lecture by Clara Barton entitled "War & Incidents of Army Life" part of a popular post-Civil War lecture series she delivered across the United States. Barton spent two years touring and recounting her battlefield experiences which helped popularize her and fund her subsequent efforts to locate missing soldiers. The present lecture was delivered to the Young Men's Literary Association of Morrison Wisconsin at the local Concert Hall. In addition to the bold title containing the relevant information on the lecture and the information on obtaining tickets at the bottom much of the lower portion of the broadside prints several laudatory "Recommendations" from various entities in Indiana and other locations in Wisconsin including a January 7 1867 review from The Milwaukee Sentinel. Noted temperance lecturer John B. Gough also praises Barton's lecture stating that "I never heard anything more touching more thrilling in my life."<br /> <br /> Typographically the broadside is interesting for employing several sizes of fonts likely wooden type especially near the bottom of the Recommendations section where the printers needed to reduce the size of the font to fit in the entirety of a quote from The Daily Wisconsin as well as a line in the smallest font from the Concert Hall promoter noting that the foregoing group of recommendations is "enough" and praising Barton for her "noble character which she has won by her efforts to ameliorate the sufferings of our sick and disabled soldiers."<br /> <br /> Clara Barton 1821-1912 was a noted educator and humanitarian who helped distribute needed supplies to the Union Army during the Civil War and later founded the American Red Cross. Barton garnered nationwide recognition for her efforts during the war and quickly became known as the "Angel of the Battlefield." After the war Barton's lecture tour brought her in contact with other notables of the day including Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton and also Frederick Douglass who involved her in the suffrage and civil rights movements respectively. In the Fall of 1866 Barton began to lecture on her Civil War experiences in lyceum halls churches town halls and schools. Though she never felt comfortable in front of an audience wherever she spoke Barton was well received. Her contemporary biographer Percy Epler wrote that "a tear-stained multitude thronged everywhere to hear her" as she had made it her mission to show not "the glories of conquering armies but the mischief and misery they strew in their tracks; and how while they march on.some one must follow closely in their steps crouching to the earth faces bathed in tears and hands in blood. This is the side which history never shows."<br /> <br /> From 1866 through 1868 Barton delivered over 200 lectures throughout the northeast and midwest regarding her Civil War experiences. She shared platforms with other prominent figures including the aforementioned Douglass as well as Ralph Waldo Emerson William Lloyd Garrison and Mark Twain. She often earned $75 to $100 per lecture. Original broadsides advertising her lectures especially of this size are exceedingly rare to say the least. We could locate just a single result in auction records of a much smaller example and OCLC reports just one institutional holding of any Barton lecture broadside again much smaller for an 1867 event in New Haven located at the Library of Congress. unknown‎

‎[WORLD WAR I, WOMEN] Putnam, Elizabeth Cabot‎

‎On Duty and Off Letters of Elizabeth Cabot Putnam Written in France May 1917-September 1918‎

‎Cambridge: The Riverside Press 1919. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. 222 pp 7.5 x 5.25 inches in publisher's blue cloth with mounted spine label. Spine toned label rubbed but legible one small stain on front board. Internally clean and sound. No dust jacket. Elizabeth Cabot Putnam was the daughter of Harvard neurologist James Jackson Putnam. She graduated from Radcliffe in 1910 and in 1917 went to Paris where she worked as a secretary for the American Expeditionary Force's Air Service and as a Red Cross volunteer. Her letters home to her family discuss both her work and her general experiences as a young woman in a foreign country at war. Occasionally she comes across as a breezy society girl rather than someone viewing the horrors of war but at other times she is clearly deeply affected. Finally getting to rest after working at a hospital until three AM she looks out a window at the beautiful sky and writes "It was more than one could bear with equanimity -- so heavenly outside and so horrible inside -- all the blood and the hacked-up flesh and the thought of how each one is going to suffer when he gets out of ether." She cared for French soldiers ar the American Ambulance Hospital in Paris and for wounded Marines at a hospital in Neuilly. In mid-1918 she worked as a Red Cross searcher helping to track down missing servicemen. The Riverside Press hardcover‎
