LIFE Rehearsal: a "Dummy" for the Week Ending Sept. 24 1936 Original "Dummy No. 2" prospectus for the new Time Inc. magazine

1936réf. 171002New York: Time Inc 1936. Vintage "Dummy No. 2" "Rehearsal: A 'Dummy' for the Week Ending Sept. 24 1936" prospectus for LIFE magazine housed in its original green untitled folder with "LIFE" printed in the magazine's iconic white sans-serif font on the inner pocket. The second "Dummy" created for the newly proposed LIFE magazine prepared for prospective advertisers and produced and distributed by Time Inc. two months prior to the November 23 1936 publication of the magazine's premiere issue. Of note the name LIFE is un-noted in the "Dummy" and found only on the pocket of the folder. The prospective found here contains 23 articles or photographic or illustrated essays of which only one "'Overweather' is TWA's Big New Word in Air Transport" appeared in the first issue. Other articles include one article on Josef Stalin "The Communist Dictator as Communists MUST See Him" four articles on Adolf Hitler "Hitler Speaks" "Lloyd George and Hitler" "Nürnberg 1936" and "Hitler's Retreat" a five-page article on African American sharecroppers "Cotton Pickin'" with photographs by Alfred Eisenstaedt and a five-page article on photographer Paul Outerbridge Jr. with five color photographs including two nudes one full page which would've almost certainly been deemed inappropriate for LIFE magazine in 1936. One of the most important publications in the history of photojournalism and arguably the most iconic magazine of the twentieth century LIFE was one of the most popular magazines in the US from 1936 to the 1960s. LIFE premiered as a weekly publication on November 23 1936 and ran until December 29 1972 when it transitioned to only "special issues." In October 1978 the magazine was relaunched as a monthly publication until March 2000 when Time Inc. announced the publication of LIFE would end with its May 2000 issue. The magazine was briefly revived in 2004-2007 as a free weekly supplement to US newspapers and still releases "special editions" for notable occasions and events. 10.75 x 14 inches in saddle-stapled wrappers. About Near Fine with starting to the binding housed in a 11.5 x 14.5 inch Very Good green pocketed folder with closed tears to the pocket and starting to the center fold. Time Inc unknown books

Transgender Tapestry MagazineABAA

Transgender Tapestry a Long-Running Magazine of Transgender Politics and Community Debate 1983-2002

réf. 232851983. Transgender Tapestry a run of 13 magazines spanning 1983 to 2002 trace the editorial and political development of a major U.S. transgender periodical from the Tiffany Club era of "the magazine for persons interested in transvestism & transsexualism" to the later IFGE-era language of "Celebrating the Diversity of Gender Expression." Issue 40 1983 grounds the early publication in community infrastructure through "A HOUSE What it means" "Special Report: Provincetown Outing 1983" and "NO NAME: Coping with the use and mis-use of labels" while Issue 74 Winter 1995 announces the title shift to Transgender Tapestry and pairs that change with cover lines on Rachael Pollack "The SRS Surgeon Crisis" and "Hunks in Frocks: The New Drag Films." The later issues in this run extend that documentary range into debates over Stonewall memory spouses' and wives' rights intersex politics hate crimes Sylvia Rivera and anti-violence discourse all within the publication history of a magazine founded by Merissa Sherrill Lynn and renamed beginning with Issue 74 in Winter 1995. Tapestry / Transgender Tapestry. Massachusetts: Tiffany Club and International Foundation for Gender Education 1983-2002. Archive of 13 issues. The run preserves multiple title states including The TV-TS Tapestry Tapestry Journal and Transgender Tapestry and several issues retain strong cover copy and interior editorial matter that show the magazine's changing terminology subject matter and intended readership across two decades. 1 Lynn Merissa Sherrill and Delores Carter eds. The TV-TS Tapestry. Wayland Massachusetts: Tiffany Club 1983. Issue 40. 2 Lynn Merissa Sherrill ed. The TV-TS Tapestry. Massachusetts: Tiffany Club 1991.

Issue 92. 13 Transgender Tapestry. Massachusetts: International Foundation for Gender Education Summer 2002. Issue 98. These 13 issues span transgender community debates across two decades of change: early issues address naming labels and community formation through pieces such as "A HOUSE What it means" and "NO NAME: Coping with the use and mis-use of labels" while the renamed Transgender Tapestry moves into explicitly political and institutional subjects including "The SRS Surgeon Crisis" "The First National Gender Lobby Day" "From Stonewall the Rebellion to Stonewall the Movie" "The GID Controversy" "Disposable People" "Remembering Our Dead" "Focus: Intersex" "GenderPAC in Washington" "Intersex Advocacy" "Jennifer Levi Attorney for Gender Justice" and "The Transgender Civil Rights Project." Across these issues the magazine records the shift from the Tiffany Club's earlier "tv-ts" and "transsexualism" framework to the broader transgender politics formalized by the title change at Issue 74 in Winter 1995. The later numbers coincide with the consolidation of transgender rights organizing in the 1990s and early 2000s: GenderPAC lobbying public argument over Gender Identity Disorder the emergence of Transgender Day of Remembrance-era anti-violence discourse expanded intersex advocacy and national legal work around gender identity discrimination all appear here in contemporaneous print rather than retrospective summary. Light creasing and minor handling wear across the run; interiors generally clean and complete. Overall good condition. This run preserves issue by issue the magazine's own record of changing transgender language political priorities and community print culture from the early 1980s through the early 2000s. unknown books

Carry On: A Magazine on the Reconstruction of Disabled Soldiers and SailorsABAA

Disabled Veterans' Care and Reconstruction Policy from the Civil War to World War I 1866 to 1921

1866réf. 231741866. Disabled veterans' care from the Civil War through the post World War I period documented through three periodicals and one pamphlet showing a clear shift from municipal and household relief toward organized rehabilitation vocational retraining supervised recreation and contested compensation. The 1866 Massachusetts pamphlet records state aid in the language of direct payment to disabled soldiers sailors and bereaved families while the two issues of Carry On issued for the Office of the Surgeon General and published by the American Red Cross define disability as a problem to be managed through reconstruction employability and social reentry. The 1921 issue of The American Legion Weekly then marks a later phase in which the promises of wartime rehabilitation met unresolved claims and public pressure from disabled veterans themselves. Archive of 4 printed items consisting of 2 issues of Carry On 1 issue of The American Legion Weekly and 1 Massachusetts state aid pamphlet. 1 An Act to Provide State Aid for Disabled Soldiers and Sailors and for the Families of the Slain in the Service of the United States. Boston: Wright & Potter State Printers 1866. Massachusetts state aid pamphlet setting out postwar support for disabled veterans and for families whose provider had died or contracted fatal sickness in service. Its language is administrative and specific establishing municipal payments and defining eligibility at the household level including support to qualifying families at four dollars per month per household. 2 Samuels Arthur H. managing ed. Carry On. Washington D.C.: Office of the Surgeon General U.S. Army published by the American Red Cross September 1918. Vol. 1 No. 3. Early wartime issue whose subtitle "A Magazine on the Reconstruction of Disabled Soldiers and Sailors" states its institutional purpose directly. Contents including "Invisible Wounds" "Seeing Is Hearing" "Labor Stands Ready" and "Guiding the Disabled to a New Job" show that military care had expanded beyond surgery and pension into a coordinated program linking medicine deaf education labor placement and psychological adjustment to civilian usefulness. 3 Samuels Arthur H. managing ed. Carry On. Washington D.C.: Office of the Surgeon General U.S. Army published by the American Red Cross July 1919. Vol. 1 No. 10. Postwar issue extending the same reconstruction model into peacetime reintegration with "The Creed of the Disabled Soldier" and articles on mental injury hospital recreation and reconstruction at Fort McHenry. This issue is the clearest statement in the group that disabled veterans were being directed toward renewed wage earning and household responsibility rather than left within a static pension framework. 4 The American Legion Weekly. New York January 1921. Vol. 3 No. 2. The cover image shows veterans using canes or crutches beneath the caption "What About Us" and the interior article "Disabled Veterans" presses the question of compensation and delay. In relation to Carry On it documents the point at which rehabilitation language gave way to organized pressure over unsettled claims and the gap between programmatic promises and veterans' lived outcomes. Disabled servicemen move from being recipients of state and municipal relief after the Civil War to subjects of a more elaborate administrative regime that joined medicine labor discipline morale and family economy during and after World War I. The magazines shows that reconstruction did not settle the problem of veterans' care: by 1921 the language of training and reentry had already been challenged by veterans demanding compensation and recognition on different terms. Edge wear creasing and toning throughout; the July 1919 Carry On more worn at wrappers the American Legion Weekly delicate and prone to chipping and the 1866 pamphlet comparatively clean with light age wear. Overall good condition. The archive preserves the transition from postwar aid to rehabilitation bureaucracy and then to veterans' protest over the limits of that system. unknown books
