1939Best.-Nr. 6040Atlanta: Commission on Interracial Cooperation 1939. Near fine. 4pp. on a single folded sheet. Minimal wear. A small leaflet printing an address by John Wesley Dobbs on the "Wings Over Jordan" radio program on the Columbia Broadcasting System on New Year's Day 1939. John Wesley Dobbs an African American activist based in Atlanta worked for thirty-two years as a railway mail clerk and served for almost as long Grand Master of the Prince Hall Masons of Georgia. He was a founder in the 1930s and 1940s of organizations promoting Black voter registration in Atlanta. Maynard Jackson the first African-American mayor of Atlanta was his grandson. According to his entry in the New Georgia Encyclopedia Martin Luther King Jr. spoke at his funeral and Thurgood Marshall was a pallbearer. In the present address Dobbs celebrates January 1 as Emancipation Day mentioning the same day in 1863 when the Emancipation Proclamation was officially issued by President Lincoln. He details the long history of African Americans in the New World beginning with Alonzo Pietro of the Columbus expedition. He thereafter expounds upon the importance of African Americans in the history of the country with paragraphs focused on assertions such as "We have helped to build America" "We have bled and died for American Democracy" "We have made progress in education" and more. He also speaks about African-American service in the Civil War mentions educators such as Booker T. Washington J.B. Watson and Fletcher Henderson. Ultimately he answers the question "What does the Negro want and deserve" by referencing the four words carved over the Supreme Court: "Equal Justice Under Law." OCLC reports just two copies of this rare radio speech at the Bancroft and the University of Georgia. Commission on Interracial Cooperation unknown
1890Best.-Nr. 64215Fairhaven WA: Webster & Pierce the Peoples Landscape and Portrait Photographers of the Pacific Coast ca. 1890. One oblong 4to. original albumen photograph sized 9.25 x 7.5 in. mounted on 11 x 9.5 beige studio board date in ink below image on recto photographer’s imprint on verso 2 different ink manuscript notes offsetting from removed black paper backing very minor tidemark at fore-edges still a VG sharp image with excellent contrast. An exceedingly scarce original albumen photographic birdseye photo of Fairhaven WA just a year after statehood. During the 1870s up through the mid-1880s Fairhaven actively competed with Seattle Bellingham and Sehome as the potential terminal of the Great Northern Railroad even after it was decided Seattle would take precedence. Fairhaven exploded within just a couple years from the competitive real estate railroad building boom in the Pacific Northwest prior to the 1893 bust which caused tremendous economic dislocation and real estate empires to dissolve. This image captures the fast developing hillsides soon after they were stripped of timber and scraggly treeline topping the ridge in the background. The smoke blowing across downtown appears to have drifted from the far right of the photograph obscuring the Fairhave Hotel designed by Longstaff & Black and completed by 1890 for Nelson Bennett and C.X. Larrabee. In 1903 the cities of Whatcom Sehome & Whatcom Fairhaven and Bellingham which shared a street grid and electric streetcar system merged through a general election to become the present day city. Webster & Pierce established their photographic partnership about 1889 and by 1892 had dissolved with very few records detailing their subsequent careers except for Wesley Pierce becoming owner and operator of Waldrip Oyster Co. in Seattle by 1899. No similar examples in institutional holdings. Webster & Pierce, the Peoples Landscape and Portrait Photographers of the Pacific Coast, unknown
1949Best.-Nr. 45468Salt Lake City Utah: Utah State Historical Society 1949. First edition thus. Hardcover. 270; 540 1 pp. Octavo 23 cm Pebbled burgundy cloth over boards with gilt lettering on the spines and front covers. Very good condition. The front pastedowns have a previous owner's bookplate. From the introduction- "More than three-quarters of a century has passed since Major John Wesley Powell's parties began their exploration of the Colorado River country yet the records of the Powell exploration have a freshness an immediately contemporary interest that few records in the annals of American exploration still possess. Roads even superhighways have been built into the most parched of the West's deserts and over or through its most formidable mountain barriers but one who would know the Colorado country must still penetrate it as Powell and his men did in 1869 and 1871-72 by taking to boats or resorting to pack trains.

Front marbled endpaper is missing the half not pasted to the boards. Large quarto 18 x 24cm.

An Heroic Poem' by Samuel Wesley first published 1693 and illustrated with 60 copper plates of which all but one possibly the title or half-title were used for this volume. Only one plate is signed: St Matthew by Nicholas Yeates some small scenes of martyrdoms inserted in portraits of saints are initialled J. C. It is likely that Yeates and the more famous William Fairthorne 'recognised as the best native-born portrait engraver of the century' were part of a team which oversaw the 'extraordinary effort' of creating these dramatic and technically skilled 'complex traditional Catholic illustrations' see Hodnett 1978 'Francis Barlow: First Master of English Book Illustration'.
