Right-wing broadside attacking Simon Gerson who had recently been appointed Assistant to Manhattan Borough President Stanley Isaacs. Gerson 1909-2004 was the first openly Communist politician to hold an appointed office in New York; despite vicious attacks such as this from various right-wing groups he succeeded in holding on to his post for three years. Following WW2 in which he served honorably Gerson returned to politics once again becoming embroiled in controversy when the Tammany machine blocked his appointment to fill deceased communist City Councilman Pete Cacchione's seat.

1884ref. 55054Wien Vienna and Berlin: IM K.K. Schulbocher-Verlag / Gedruckt Von AD. Schulze 1884. Very good. First edition of this Austrian lesson books for blind children part of the famed series from the noted publisher containing both Braille and an embossed Latin alphabet showing the field's move toward the Braille system. Though Braille is now the dominant alphabet for the blind "the system was not given an immediate welcome" note Carter and Morison in PRINTING AND THE MIND OF MAN; indeed Braille was one of several competing writing and printing systems for the blind until 1878 when an international congress for blind education in Paris selected it as the standard. Even so the output of pedagogical materials did not immediately pivot to Braille. This volume captures that transition with a title page in raised letter and - more importantly - a raised latter key to the Braille system which follows mounted to a stub at the beginning of the book a snapshot of the slow but deliberate shift to the new standard. Austria has been called the "cradle of education for the blind" owing to its early establishment of K.K. Blinden-Erziehungs-Institut a school for the blind in Vienna in 1804 Monroe and its associated press. The editor of this volume from the press Simon Heller was director of the Israelitischen Blindeninstituts which specialized in the education of blind Jewish children. Austrian books for the education of the blind are now difficult to find. One of the largest collection of such books Alexander Mell's was "almost completely destroyed by the Nazis" in Word War II a fate that was common for many such collections Stuckey. 13'' x 10''. Quarter brown cloth with marbled boards. 144 pages with Braille embossment to rectos and versos. Spine cloth sunned label perished. Some staining internally unobtrusive. Front hinge started at top.
