1968rif. List2843New York City 1968. 20 x 28 inches. Folded with some tears at folds slightly wrinkled; inscribed “Sam – / You must come! / Send money / Lou Dorfsman”. Very good plus. An invitation to the “Recooperation Baths” which seems to be an annual get-together for Cooper Union alumni. Cooper Union was founded in 1859 by business magnate Peter Cooper to offer a tuition-free education in practical areas such as architectural drawing shorthand and the like. No longer free Cooper Union now consists of three schools: art architecture and engineering. Graphic designer Lou Dorfsman 1918–2008 who inscribed this poster with a message for “Sam” graduated from Cooper Union in 1939. He would serve on its board of directors and as this poster states on its Alumni Committee. More famously Dorfsman was the art director and later creative director at CBS where he designed not just programming advertisements but also sets and the CBS headquarters’ interior. The poster promises alumni “an evening of gayety jollity merriment entertainment swimming dancing drinking dining” at the Woolworth Building in Tribeca – probably at its private basement swimming pool. unknown books
1939rif. List01103Holyoke and Northfield: Litho Inc. / American Youth Hostels 1939. First Edition. Includes: Bicycle for Adventure on the Youth Hostel Trail. Holyoke Massachusetts c. 1939: Valley Litho Inc. Lithographed poster 19 x 25 inches; Take to the A.Y.H. Trail. Northfield 1939: American Youth Hostels . Lithographed poster 17 x 22 inches; Hostellers Know.Northfield 1939: American Youth Hostels Inc. Lithographed poster 17 x 22 inches. All are signed “Isabel” in images. Excellent condition overall with some toning small chips and various wear to margins but overall quite well preserved. Near Fine. Isabel and Monroe Smith a married couple from Northfield Massachusetts started the American Youth Hostel movement in 1933 after gaining inspiration from Richard Schirrman’s German Hosteling Organization. The movement grew quickly with thirty hostels operating throughout New England within the first year. The first hostel was the Northfield Chateau a large mansion on Birnham Road that was eventually demolished in 1963. The network of chaperoned hostels created the opportunity for safe bicycle-based travel as shown in the posters offered here. Offered here are three early posters from the movement designed by Isabel Smith each with her signature in the image. All posters are variations on the cycling theme. One of them states that “When the grand day’s bicycling is done… no fare can compare with the Royal ‘Hostellers’ Own.” Smith’s design aesthetic is quite accomplished and we are surprised to find no examples of these in institutional collections. Overall a visually compelling group uncommon. Litho Inc. / American Youth Hostels unknown books

2015rif. 1973First Edition. Artists' book 136 pp. : illustrations in color. Small 4to. Near fine. Illus. stiff wraps with unique collage element on the front cover. 1973 Winant's first major artists' book which includes texts by Matthew Brannon Moyra Davey Courtney Fiske Jim Fletcher Kenneth Goldsmith Jonathan Griffin Geoffrey Hilsabeck Michael Ned Holte Sarah McMenimen Anna Livia Alexander Provan Ross Simonini and John Yau. Per the 2016 review by PhotoEye the work is named after the 1974 Phillip Roth book of the same title yet "My Life as a Man makes no apparent contextual reference to Roth's book but the cover does appear as a small image multiple times in Winant's book. From the opening sequence which groups an image of a naked woman laying face down on a table under the watchful eyes of a team of male doctors with various other images of men gazing at woman it's clear the work offers a pointed critique of the ways in which the female form and gestures are controlled and imaged." Though the edition size is unstated the work is very rare and each copy comes with a unique collaged image on the cover and a folded poster of nearly completed New York Times crossword puzzles by Winant's mother.
