Tape remnant and pencil notation on front of one portrait. Overall about fine. Rudi Gernreich 1922-1985 was an Austrian-born American fashion designer whose avant-garde clothing designs are generally regarded as the most innovative and dynamic fashion of the 1960s. He purposefully used fashion design as a social statement to advance sexual freedom producing clothes that followed the natural form of the female body freeing them from the constraints of high fashion. He was a founding member of and financially supported the early activities of the Mattachine Society which was a very early gay rights organization. He consciously pushed the boundaries of acceptable fashion and used his designs as an opportunity to comment on social issues and to expand society's perception of what was acceptable. Wikipedia Gernreich is photographed with a model wearing his creation for the 1969 Warner Brothers film 2000 Years Later. The second photo is from approximately the same period.

rif. WALTER-FILM006433Warner Brothers First National. No binding. Very Good. Los Angeles: Warner Brothers-First National 1933. Vintage original 8 x 10"" 20 x 25 cm. black-and-white glossy silver gelatin photo. Small tear at right-side blank white margin and minor edge wear. Reinforced with brown tape at the edges on three sides of verso very good. Mary Astor is sassy and classy as she displays her jewels including a very contemporary pair of dangling earrings in a portrait for this now legendary lost film. So scandalized were the censors at the provocativeness of this pre-Code film that the legion of decency condemned it. In fact it may not have been seen much past its Dec. 1933 release. It could never be reissued and Warners junked the negative in 1948 but it is not certain that all 500 initial prints were destroyed. The story involved the naughty goings-on when businessmen attend a convention in Atlantic City. Mary Astor seems to have had fun at the time with gowns by Milo Anderson and Orry-Kelly.

rif. 307501817 Leading Philadelphia bookseller-publisher and cartographer lauds "Western Emigration" quarto one page plus stamp-less address leaf in very good legible condition. Happily responding to Guilford's offer of honorary membership in the Society: "… Being convinced that a very imperfect knowledge is generally possessed by persons on the Seaboard Section of our country in relation to their trans-mountain brethren and of their country I rejoiced to find an association instituted for the purpose of defusing information of the fairest portion of our favored land and I cannot hesitate to believe but that great facilities will be derived by the enterprising emigrant to our shores who is seeking a peaceful asylum for himself and a secure and happy establishment for his posterity … it will give me pleasure to add any feeble assistance I can give in promoting the objects of its institution…" Warner was a young Quaker bookseller and publisher of Philadelphia – he also had bookshops in Charleston and Richmond Virginia the latter managed by John Grigg later founder of the Lippincott firm. As publisher Warner's notable imprints included an 1818 edition of the Federalist Papers and in 1820 possibly the earliest separately issued folding map of the United States to extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast based upon cartographer John Melish's classic 1819 wall map as well as the "western detail" maps of Lewis and Clark Humboldt and Pike. As such it "galvanized geographic ideas" about "tenuously explored lands beyond the Rocky Mountains." The letter makes clear Warner's abiding interest in American lands to the west – and sympathy for the courageous Emigrants who were then flowing westward. Perhaps Warner shared this interest with Melish in a friendship unrecorded by history. Two years later Melish published 'Information and Advice to Emigrants to the United States and from the Eastern to the Western States." Their sympathies were controversial at the time especially in Connecticut whose retained "Western Reserve" lands extending across the northern part of present day Ohio were the center of emigration. In 1817 residents of Connecticut "highly wrought up over the emigration problem" exerted "every influence … to stem the ever growing outward tide of fortune seekers" lured by "glowing descriptions of land speculators" who glossed over the dangers of floods and storms and the fraudsters preying upon the innocence of the newcomers. The Western Emigration Society led by Nathan Guilford later to be hailed as "father" of the Ohio public school system was in fact formed to provide both information and philanthropic support to emigrants though Connecticut newspapers "exposed" the organization for promoting a "deplorable species of madness" in "unhealthy regions where men worked themselves into untimely graves" unaware of the "burdensome privations of a land without churches schools and roads." Guilford was indeed a very effective lobbyist for emigration to the West. The same month that he wrote Warner he must have offered "honorary membership" to dozens of other Eastern notables including then General Andrew Jackson. Those letters and their congenial replies appear in the Ohio Historical Society and other archival collections. Benjamin Warner's response may have been one of the most interesting. Warner died prematurely three years later at the age of 35.
