rif. 16755The stamp issued in 1912 by The Charles Dickens Testimonial 17-21 Tavistock Street London WC. The article published by the Strand Magazine London. 1910 or 1911. On 7 January 1911 Beckles Willson Honorary Secretary of the Charles Dickens Testimonial explained the scheme to the readers of the Spectator. Three members of Dickens's family were Willson explained 'drawing a niggardly pension of £25 per annum from the British Government' and that 'no volume recently published of Dickens has returned any copyright fee save those which bear the Dickens copyright stamp'. The stamp was 'on sale for one penny each-in sheets of twelve-at every bookseller's in the land and at all Messrs. W. H. Smith's and Wyman's news-stalls. His Majesty the King her Majesty the Queen her Majesty Queen Alexandra and other members of the Royal Family ever ready to be the exemplars in every good and just cause have led the way by placing the copyright stamps in their volumes of Dickens. Their example has been followed by many of the leading statesmen lawyers authors actors editors and divines of the day. If every owner of Dickens will not shirk his penny a magnificent centenary tribute will be assured. For there are forty-eight million copies of Dickens extant.' The publishers Macmillan Willson continued had agreed 'to insert a Dickens stamp gratis in every volume of every edition of Dickens issued by them during the hundredth year of the novelist. The significance of this must not be overlooked. It means that for the first time in literary history the representatives of a great writer will he in receipt of a copyright fee not conferred by the action of the copyright laws ; small it is true but to which they are entitled as truly as the heirs of any landlord are entitled to receive tribute in the shape of rent.' The stamp offered here is printed in black ink on a piece of paper approximately 5 x 4 cm with perforated edges and gummed reverse. In very good condition. Priced at a penny with an oval portrait of Dickens within a border in the form of a carved wooden frame with 'A TRIBUTE TO GENIUS' and the dates 1812 and 1912 at the head the words 'CENTENARY TESTIMONIAL' around the portrait and a facsimile of Dickens's signature at the foot. The four-page article paginated 608-611 is on three leaves extracted from the Strand Magazine. Stapled together and in good condition.

The article features a reproduction of the stamp and a list of the scheme's committee headed by the Earl of Rosebery and including Theodore Roosevelt Hilaire Belloc G. K.

1945rif. 233441945. Women's LaborUnion Organizing Women telephone workers on strike press photo archive documenting labor organization picket lines arrests and union settlement efforts in New York Brooklyn Chicago Seattle St. Louis and Cleveland 1945-1950. The images illustrate the postwar labor conflict in the American telephone industry as women workers fought for better wages pensions union recognition and working conditions. The group records labor action through formal union voting publicity picketing mass walkouts police intervention and settlement. The archive highlights women at the center of the labor organizing process showing the workforce that staffed operator positions and other telephone company roles acting collectively during the major strike wave that followed World War II. Photo archive of 9 silver gelatin press photographs ranging from 6 x 7 to 8 x 10 inches New York Brooklyn Chicago Seattle St. Louis Cleveland and related U.S. locations 194New York5-1950. The photographs show women carrying and preparing strike placards leaving telephone company headquarters in a St. Louis walkout gathering on broad city steps with signs lining sidewalks outside company buildings sitting with placards reading "N.F.T.W. ON STRIKE" and smiling from inside a police wagon after arrest on an Ohio Federation of Telephone Workers picket line. Several images preserve highly specific labor text: placards call for "$12 per week" a "Union Shop" and a "Decent Pension" while another denounces the "union busting tactics of the Bell System." One image shows a woman tearing up a strike placard beside a noticeboard stating that the FLLTW and the company had reached an agreement and that the proposed strike had been called off. Versos retain typed caption strips credit and usage stamps editorial markings and filing notes identifying scenes such as a New York vote on whether traffic employees of the New York Telephone Company would strike on April 16 1945; Brooklyn strike cancellation at American Telephone and Telegraph on March 7 1946; Chicago women preparing picket signs on April 5 1947; Seattle workers and pickets outside a telephone building on April 7 1947; coffee served to women strike pickets at St. Alphonsus Hall that same evening; and later Cleveland newsroom handling marked November 10 1950. These photographs date to a time of broad labor upheaval of the mid 1940s and early 1950s when wartime employment rising prices and postwar contract battles pushed workers across the United States into repeated strikes. The telephone industry depended heavily on women as operators traffic workers and clerical employees and this archive shows those women as the visible organizers voters and public faces of labor activism in one of the country's largest communications networks. The images document five years of telephone strikes across several cities and through multiple stages of escalation and resolution.
