1926rif. 181547China: The Commercial Press c. 1926. The Chinese typewriter comes to America A rare surviving example of the brochure issued by China's largest publisher and maker of scientific instruments to accompany its stand at the 1926 Philadelphia Sesqui-Centennial Exposition. Alongside print publications and cutting-edge laboratory equipment the Commercial Press displayed Shu Zhendong's newly invented Chinese typewriter a major advance in the development of modern information technology. The typewriter advertised and pictured on page 56 promises to solve "a serious problem in office administration in China.

1990rif. 159588San Francisco: Art Lick Gallery 1990. Vintage flyer advertising San Francisco-based Art Lick Gallery circa 1990. The Art Lick Gallery was opened by artists David Seibold and Luiz da Rosa in 1989 and was at that time the only art gallery located in the Castro District. Founded just as the catastrophic impact of the AIDS crisis was beginning to be fully appreciated in the national media and during an unprecedented attempt at censoring art particularly queer art the gallery served as a safe haven for the LGBTQ art community as well as a bulwark against attacks to the community. In Seibold's own words the gallery was "an alternative to 'downtown' gallery spaces places that sometimes present art work as being so precious and intimidating that it's really unapproachable." Notable among the exhibitions held at Art Lick were Christopher Enzi's "Inferno & Other Scenes" Jerome Caja's "Compact" and the group exhibition "Eros." The shows held at the gallery which included both group and one- and two-person shows proved essential not only to the Castro community but also to the queer community at large during a period often described by many without hyperbole as a time at war. The gallery closed after Seibold's death in 1992. 8.5 x 11 inches. Near Fine with some light edgewear. Art Lick Gallery unknown
