Best.-Nr. 675816 February 1850; on illustrated letterhead. 4to 2 pp. Apparently the first leaf of the list only. On aged paper with wear and chipping to extremities but with text entirely legible. The letterhead carries an engraving 6.5 x 9.5 cm of a pile of books quill pen and ink pot with text advertising the 'Imprimerie Librairie et Cabinet de Lecture d'Aubin' printed on the open pages of one of the volumes. Beneath the illustration are the words 'LE MÉMORIAL D'AIX journal politique et littéraire' and there is further text to the right and left of it. In French. Written in two hands in light blue ink. A five-line initial note asking for the books to be quoted at the lowest possible price is followed by the list in another hand in two columns continuing to the end of the second page.

Internally clean with staples firm and no rust migration. Specs: 8 x 9.25 inches / 28 pages plus wraps.St. Augustine: Record Co. n.d. c. 1925-1927. First Edition. Stapled Wraps. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE -- During the mid-1920s while coastal Florida cities sold surf and sand DeLand marketed itself as a refined inland 'Athens'. This prospectus is a prime example of the high-budget promotional material produced by the Record Company which utilized avant-garde graphic design to distinguish DeLand from the more rowdy 'boom towns' of the era. The booklet captures the city during its golden age of citrus and academic expansion at John B. Stetson University. Its dual-cover design-one side focusing on the sporting life fishing and the other on civic/educational status-reflects the sophisticated marketing tactics used to attract the 'educated' class of Northern investors and settlers.

Ida Rauh 1877-1970 born into a wealthy family was a trailblazer who rebelled against her upper-class upbringing and who had a great impact on American theater and the struggle for women's rights. After graduating from New York University in 1902 with a law degree she settled in Greenwich Village and began advocating for causes such as women's voting rights the promotion of birth control and the espousal of socialist doctrine. She married Max Eastman and together they heavily influenced the birth of modern theater and the early twentieth-century underground press through the Provincetown Players and the publication The Masses. During this time Rauh also made major contributions to the organization of women’s trade unions and related strike activities.
