1936réf. 125466Tbilisi: Gosfoto Advice of National Commissioners 1936. Superb album produced to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the Georgian Soviet Republic established 1921 one of perhaps a handful put together and presented to leading dignitaries; this copy with the gilt presentation supralibros of Valerian Bakradze 1901-1971 at the time Second Secretary of the Georgian Communist Party and a protégé of Stalin's right hand man Lavrentiy Beria. 1936 was also the year in which Georgia emerged as a Union Republic; prior to this it had been a part of the Soviet Transcaucasian Federation. The album opens with "exhibition" size portraits of Lenin Stalin Kliment Voroshilov and Sergo Ordzhonikidze a close friend of Stalin who was instrumental in the founding the Socialist Republic of Georgia. These are followed by two impressively large and crisp panoramic views of Tbilisi with many landmarks clearly discernible including the Funicular Railway constructed 1905 that climbs up to the Mtatsminda plateau and affords superb views of the city and the Sioni cathedral. The most prominent official figure to attend the celebrations was Marshal Voroshilov at the time People's Commissar for Defence pictured here giving a speech and shaking hands with the head of the Georgian Republic at the time Filip Makharadze; alongside an exterior view of the Tbilisi opera house decorated with banners and a portrait of Stalin. The next 19 prints are dedicated to the ceremonial parade 10 of these of an imposing size 290 x 450 mm and taken from the same elevated point of view showing the crowd an army band and several film crews in attendance; in the background Georgian shops are clearly visible the building draped with banners in Russian and Turkic carrying slogans declaring brotherhood. The celebrations took place in was was then Lenin Square now Freedom Square and included a military march past by infantry cavalry units of the tachanka the Russian horse-drawn machine gun and tanks the single-turret T-26 the backbone of Soviet armour at this period followed by processions of sportsmen and gymnasts one group shown on a parade float displaying a portrait of Stalin. Several images show people in costume among these the bogatyr heroic figures from East Slavic legend others from Georgian myth and folklore dancers and singers. Others are the archetype of such rallies of the 1930s in showing men and women marching one group bearing banners another carrying the image of Lenin and in particular one of a young woman posed inside an enormous tyre bearing the legend "Rubber Concern USSR". The last six leaves focus on the Soviet modernization of the city and show new buildings roads and bridges. From 1937 to 1946 Valerian Bakradze was Chairman of the Soviet Council of People's Commissars known as Sovnarkom. He served on the Central Committee of the Communist Party 1939-1954 was Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers of Georgia 1946-1954 and in 1947 Minister of Food. "Bakradze whose son was married to a niece of Nino Beria Lavrentiy Beria's wife was personally close to Beria and always went out of his way to please him. He organized a lavish banquet in Beria's honour before his departure for Moscow in 1938 and at a plenum of the Georgian CC on 31 August he was effusive in declaring his devotion to his former chief"; but Bakradze was passed over by Stalin for promotion as he probably "wanted the new party chief to be independent from Beria" Amy Knight Beria: Stalin's First Lieutenant 1993 p. 89. However with Beria's star on the wane and amid the paranoia and power struggles that followed Stalin's death in 1953 Bakradze "continued to take the lead in denouncing Beria giving the main report on his alleged crimes at a joint session of the Georgian Central Committee and the Tbilisi Party Committee held on 13-14 July 1953. Bakradze assailed Beria as a 'foul criminal' and an 'agent of international capitalism' for whom no punishment would be too severe" ibid. p. 213. In turn Bakradze was removed from office in the early 50s by the new First Secretary of the Georgian Communist Party Akaki Mgeladze. A remarkable possibly unique record with a fine provenance containing some superb images that typify the Soviet festival of the period before Stalin's Great Terror of 1936-38 would cast its long shadow across his native land. Landscape folio 600 x 410 mm. 57 original photographs 113 x 65 mm up to 450 x 350 mm on 29 linen-hinged heavy card leaves. Presentation binding of red skiver over bevelled boards titled in gilt on front cover red silk endleaves edges stained red.

1922réf. 166022Boston: B. J. Brimmer 1922. Inscribed to "the greatest Black orator of his day" First edition first printing presentation copy inscribed by the author in the month after publication on the first blank "Dec. 27 - '22. To Mr. Roscoe C. Simmons shall we not dedicate this page to this day which we must regard happy and signal. Read page 15 from The Heart of a Woman & thank every God for your exclusion. Sincerely Georgia Douglas Johnson". Inscribed copies are rare: we have traced just one other. Johnson's page reference is to the poem "Repulse" which was published in her first volume of poetry The Heart of a Woman and Other Poems in 1918. Although we have not been able to identify what happened on the "happy and signal" day of this inscription the implication of Johnson's inscription must be in reference to the refrain "Nobody cares when I am glad. Nobody cares when I am sad" suggesting that Simmons as a caring friend was excluded from these. "Roscoe Conkling Simmons 1881-1951 was the greatest Black orator of his day blessed with the ability to electrify audiences for hour after hour. Americans nationwide knew of him through his electioneering for the Republican party and his lecture tours. Blacks meanwhile read his column in the Chicago Defender the nation's most popular Black newspaper. Simmons was an experienced political player and functioned as an unofficial adviser to Presidents Harding Coolidge and Hoover. Through his pack of associates - Black America's most powerful businessmen and editors entertainers and racketeers - he forged close links with key Black organizations participating in the affairs of fraternities churches and educational institutions. Therefore when white Republicans needed help in rallying Northern Black voters Simmons was the fixer they summoned" Kaye pp. 79-80. Johnson a nationally recognized figure of the Harlem Renaissance wrote from Washington DC where she had an immense influence on New Negro writers from all over the country in part by holding a literary salon in her home. Referred to as the "Saturday Nighters" the attendees included many prominent African-American writers including Countee Cullen W. E. B DuBois Alain Locke Langston Hughes and Jessie Fauset. She provided a much-needed venue in which these authors "read their works exchanged criticisms and argued views on literature art and politics and found the nurture encouragement and reception that Black Washington seemed unwilling to extend" Edwards p. 157. Johnson's literary salon had standards; as Washington journalist and poet J. C. Byars put it "if dull ones come she weeds them out gently effectively" Hull p. 166. Works by both Simmons and Johnson were included in the 1920 publication The Dunbar Speaker and Entertainer edited by Alice Moore Dunbar-Nelson. The Heart of a Woman Cornhill 1918 had been "criticized in some quarters because it did not contain enough 'racially conscious' poems Perhaps in response to such criticism her next book Bronze: A Book of Verse 1922 is much concerned with issues of race as well as gender" ANB. Both works were published by the African American poet and literary critic William Stanley Braithwaite who founded the publishing firm B. J. Brimmer in 1921 having left Cornhill when Brookes More took control and stopped publishing African American poets: "to be recognized by Braithwaite was to receive a significant imprimatur" Kenny J. Williams quoted in Brooker & Thacker p. 316. Octavo. Original white cloth-backed paper covered boards printed paper spine label spine and front cover lettered in black. With rear flap and rear panel of dust jacket loosely inserted. A little wear to extremities minor marks to boards. A very good copy notably well preserved.
