1979Best.-Nr. 227401979. Korean-American Women's Employment Fashion Photo Album of a Korean-American dressmaker students and Korean pageant shows 1960s. Provenance unknown but most photos seem to be on the East Coast with a few in Korea. Collection of approximately 45 black and white and color Polaroid prints housed in a black faux-leather spiral album. Album measures 11" x 5.5" and photos approximately 3.5" x 3" each. Some have captions in Korean and/or English en verso. An evocative and culturally layered mid-century photo album documenting the life and career of a Korean American woman likely working as a tailor or dressmaking instructor in the United States during the 1960s. The album juxtaposes scenes of professional life of classroom instruction fashion shows and tailoring studios with moments of leisure and family portraiture in both Western and traditional hanbok attire that together reflect the hybrid social world of Korean immigrant professionals in postwar America. Several photographs show groups of women inside a sewing or fashion studio including one captioned in English on the verso "Me and my students." Other images depict a 1964 Miss Korea pageant with contestants modeling Western evening gowns and swimsuits possibly wearing designs by the album's compiler. Some of these images have handwritten captions in Korean script en verso. The pageant scenes bearing visible banners in Korean script suggest ties to Korean American community networks and cultural events that celebrated modern femininity and national identity during a period of postwar reconstruction and Diaspora visibility. Korean Americans in the 1960s represented a small but rapidly growing immigrant community shaped by both Cold War geopolitics and the aftermath of the Korean War. The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 which abolished national-origin quotas marked a turning point that encouraged the arrival of highly educated professionals including teachers engineers nurses and artists many of whom were women. These new immigrants often balanced preservation of traditional Korean customs with adaptation to American professional and social norms forming churches cultural associations and language schools that became vital centers of community life. Within this historical frame the album reflects the self-fashioning of a generation striving for both cultural dignity and modern achievement a narrative rarely preserved through visual documentation especially among women engaged in skilled trades and design education. Light wear to album exterior minor toning to some prints though images remain crisp and clean. Overall very good condition. unknown

1950Best.-Nr. BK0056Washington D.C.: Harris & Ewing Photographic News Service 1950. Original gelatin silver press photograph showing Paul Robeson picketing in front of the White House carrying a large placard reading "Enact F.E.P.C. / Anti-Lynch Law / Abolish Poll Tax / Amend Taft-Hartley / Housing / Republican Party Platform." Harris & Ewing Photographic News Service credit stamp and original typed caption to verso with later Globe Photos label. 8 x 10 inches. Light handling wear and creasing otherwise very good. A photograph of Paul Robeson demonstrating directly outside the Truman White House. The original Harris & Ewing caption identifies him as leading representatives of the Progressive Party who "began picketing the White House today asking for more positive action by President Truman on FEPC." The demands on Robeson's placard reflect the stalled federal civil rights agenda of the period. Roosevelt had created the Fair Employment Practice Committee in 1941 after A. Philip Randolph threatened a mass march on Washington over discrimination in defense employment. Truman's President's Committee on Civil Rights subsequently recommended a permanent FEPC federal anti-lynching legislation and abolition of the poll tax; in February 1948 Truman formally asked Congress to enact those measures. The Progressive Party's 1948 platform had called for immediate anti-poll tax legislation and an expansive federal civil-rights program. By 1950 however the major legislative proposals remained blocked in Congress. . Harris & Ewing Photographic News Service unknown
