1944réf. 211521944. Japanese American incarceration photographs dating from World War II document civilian life and military presence at several internment and assembly centers established after the forced removal of Japanese Americans from the West Coast. Following Executive Order 9066 in 1942 more than 120000 people of Japanese ancestry were confined in temporary assembly centers and longer term relocation camps administered by the War Relocation Authority. The photographs record daily activities of men women and children within these camps and illustrate the physical environment of the barracks settlements created to house incarcerated civilians during the war. Archive contains six original silver gelatin photographs measuring approximately 2.5 × 2.75 inches to 3.5 × 5.75 inches. The images depict Japanese American families and individuals at Heart Mountain Relocation Center in Wyoming Camp Amache in Granada Colorado and Pomona Assembly Center in California. Several photographs show families gathered in front of barracks style housing units typical of the camps. One image from Amache shows a family of six standing on the steps of their assigned unit with the wooden barracks structure visible behind them. Another photograph from Pomona shows two United States soldiers seated on a storage trunk outside a camp building likely serving as patrol or security personnel. One image from Heart Mountain shows a military medic standing beside an ambulance truck while gesturing toward camp structures in the distance. Other photographs include a group portrait of Japanese American young men standing in front of a brick building possibly a school building within the camp and a separate image of the same individual standing beside a lake. Another photograph shows a young Japanese American girl playing on a see saw while families watch a sports game in the background with camp buildings visible beyond the field. Pomona Assembly Center served as one of the temporary detention facilities established in 1942 before incarcerated families were transferred to permanent camps such as Heart Mountain. Heart Mountain became the fourth largest relocation center eventually housing nearly fourteen thousand people while Amache in Colorado confined more than seven thousand internees the majority of whom were American citizens by birth. Living quarters in these camps consisted of small rooms within hastily constructed wooden barracks assigned to individual families. The photographs preserve small moments of social life and recreation within these confined communities illustrating how families attempted to maintain routines despite the conditions of incarceration. Photographs remain clear and well preserved with light age wear consistent with vernacular prints. Very good condition overall and a revealing visual record of Japanese American life within wartime relocation centers. unknown books
1790réf. 52510New York: John Fenno no. 41 Broad-Street near the Exchange 1790. First edtion. Softcover. Fine. Two leaves folio 16.25 by 10 in. Edges slightly trimmed; a touch of mild foxing else a fine crisp copy. Housed in linen clamshell box with gilt paper label at spine and previous owner's dediction pasted to inside cover. The first known published appearance of Jewish support for the newly elected president of the United States George Washington. One week after Washinton's inauguration Levi Sheftall on behalf of the newly reorganized Savannah Hebrew Congregation wrote him an elegant and effusive letter of congratulation. This letter along with Washington's reply was published for the first time by the United States Gazette: "Sir We have long been anxious of congratulating you on your appointment. and of testifying our unbounded confidence in your integrity and unblemished virtue. Your unexampled liberality and extensive philanthropy have dispelled that cloud of bigotry and superstition which has long as a veil shaded religion -- unrivetted the fetters of enthusiasm -- enfranchised us with all the privileges and immunities of free citizens and initiated us into the grand mass of legislative mechanism. May the great Author of worlds grant you all happiness and a continuance of guardianship to that freedom which under the auspices of heaven your magnanimity and wisdom have given these States." Washington's reply is undated but addressed "To the Hebrew Congregation of the City of Savannah." After accepting their congratulations he extends this hope: "May the same wonder-working Deity who long since delivering the Hebrews from their Egyptian Oppressors planted them in the promised land -- whose providential agency has lately been conspicuous in established these United States as an independent nation -- still continue to water them with the dews of Heaven and to make the inhabitants of every denomination participate in the temporal and spiritual blessings of that people whose God is Jehovah. George Washington." Provenance: old entry of . Hopkins at top margin first leaf trimmed. Six weeks later References: Enc. Jud. first ed. 1972 vol. 16; Evans Amer.
