1936rif. Cat333N.p.: International News Photos 1936. Press photograph 8 x 10 inches by Arthur Rothstein distributed by International News Photos with original caption on verso dated 1936. Minor edge wear and toning to caption else very good. In the mid-1930s prolonged drought across the Great Plains combined with falling agricultural prices forced thousands of farm families into foreclosure and displacement. The crisis central to what would become known as the Dust Bowl led to widespread liquidation of farms and personal property often through public auctions held under distress conditions. Offered here is a stark press image documenting one such sale in Nebraska. The original caption reads in part: "This farm auction shop is typical of the mid-west where farmers driven from their land by the drought are forced to sell at auction their farm machinery household effects in order to procure enough money to move to more fertile spots. The government is aiding the stricken farmers through loans and relief. It is thought that not less than 100000 families may be moved from their farms by the government." The photograph shows the exterior of a "Sale Room" with equipment and household goods assembled for liquidation. Rothstein working for the Resettlement Administration produced some of the most widely circulated images of rural dislocation during the Depression. Images such as this were distributed through press agencies to illustrate both the severity of the crisis and the federal government's expanding role in relief and resettlement and were reprinted later. This is an attractive original copy with fine contrast with 1936 press markings verso. International News Photos unknown
1945rif. 9116District of Columbia: Government Printing Office 1945. Poster 48.3 x 53 cm. folded as issued. Government Printing Office document 1945--O-629743. A government-issued poster encouraging Americans to grow victory gardens to support the war effort. The poster depicts an arrangement of various vegetables including peas in the shell cabbage and carrots in the foreground. In the background is a view of a garden with a man and woman cultivating and weeding. In an official wartime activity begun two and a half decades earlier in the Great War Americans were urged to supplement the food they had available for personal use by planting vegetable gardens both to support the war effort and due to food shortages and rationing. The gardens known as "victory gardens" were promoted widely by both the government and industry. Gardens were planted during World War I as well but were called "war gardens" until the end of the war when the term "victory garden" came into use. Creased at the folds otherwise very near fine.

The United States part of the Joint Verification Experiment carried out in 1988 as the Kearsarge event in Operation Touchstone. Twenty-five years later a joint commemoration of the event was held at the Nevada Nuclear Security Site formerly the Nevada Test Site. The objective of the JVE was to calibrate the seismic yield estimation capability of underground nuclear explosions conducted in both countries. It involved the unprecedented US yield measurement of a Soviet nuclear explosion at its then nuclear test site in Kazakhstan and the reciprocal Soviet yield measurement of a US nuclear explosion at the Nevada Test Site JVE provided the first opportunity for scientists from US and Soviet nuclear weapons laboratories to meet and work cooperatively. At the Nevada Test Site and at the follow-on experiment at the Soviet Semipalatinsk Test Site they developed confidence-building steps that made possible the ratification of the TTBT in 1990.

1970rif. 231521970. War on Drugs Press photographs of drug enforcement addiction treatment and anti-violence intervention in Houston New Orleans and El Paso 1970-1992 documenting how the War on Drugs functioned across policing rehabilitation public messaging and newspaper circulation. Several prints retain typed caption slips assignment sheets and Houston Chronicle stamps locating the group within newsroom and wire-service use rather than private snapshot production. The strongest images show not only arrests and seized evidence but the wider apparatus surrounding narcotics policy: the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration's El Paso Intelligence Center U.S. Customs canine inspection work in Houston a New Orleans anti-drug and anti-violence rally at the Desire Housing Project and rehabilitation scenes tied to Bridge House and Charity Hospital detox with Black urban communities especially central to the visual language of late 1980s coverage. Photo archive of 12 silver gelatin press photographs all 8 x 10 inches Houston El Paso and New Orleans 1970-1992. The group includes a February 16 1970 press image identified as "Dope Raid" showing officials examining a crate of seized drug paraphernalia; a 1971 "Drug raid" photograph; and a 1979 image of the control center of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration's El Paso Intelligence Center with consoles screens desks and seated staff in a surveillance-heavy operations room. A likely 1975 evidence display isolates a syringe spoon folded packet and narcotics sample against a dark ground with an attached caption describing a "$5 package of cocaine" and a glassine of heroin; another early 1970s image bears a clipping caption about Drug Enforcement Administration agents seizing a tug and a large marijuana cache. Late period photographs shift toward street-level enforcement and public intervention: a 1990 Houston image captioned "Drug Traffic Houston" shows U.S. Customs using a dog named Magnum to search vehicles; a 1992 Houston Chronicle photo records Sgt. G.U. Rodriguez inspecting a Corvette after a chase connected to a drug dispute involving fake drugs and real guns; one image marked "Operation Crackdown" shows a Texas officer handcuffing a young Black man on the lawn outside an apartment building; another captioned "Crowd at service ctr. made into booking desk" shows a packed intake scene around tables and paperwork. The New Orleans photographs are especially strong: one print shows Dr. Keith C. Ferdinand speaking beneath a banner reading "Preventing Violence in the Black Community" at an anti-drug and violence rally at the Desire Housing Project in 1988; another shows a group discussion at Bridge House captioned on verso as "John speaking about crack addiction;" a third presents Ron identified on verso as "a crack addict seeking rehabilitation" seated in silhouette by a wired window at Charity Hospital detox with a wall poster reading "Charity is a Winner!" The group traces American drug policy imagery from early raid and evidence photographs in 1970s press usage through the institutional expansion of intelligence coordination neighborhood sweeps addiction treatment and anti-violence campaigns during the crack era. These photographs depict both the scale and the impact of the War on Drugs: federal intelligence and customs work local police enforcement medical detox residential recovery and public-facing community rhetoric all appear here in concrete captioned form. Editorial markings stamps clipping residue light creasing and surface wear from newsroom handling; overall good condition. The concentration of captioned Texas and Louisiana press images reveal how narcotics policy was staged enforced and narrated in the urban Gulf South as well as depicting the community response and its notable effect on African American communities. unknown

1864rif. 016813Trenton New Jersey: Printed by David Naar "True American" Office 1864. Near Fine condition. Clean and tight. Three tiny chips near the spine.
