réf. 9608Washington D.C. ca. 1969. Illustrated single sheet poster black on purple background 22" x 17". CONDITION: Very good old folds moderate wear a few minor chips and tears. A scarce and vivid poster announcing marches on Washington D.C. and San Francisco produced by the Student Mobilization Committee To End The War In Vietnam. The rousing phrase "the fight for freedom.is at home!" accompanies a photo-illustration showing a large group of African American men and women participating in a protest. The head of a single police officer seen from behind appears in the lower left corner and effectively represents the oppression against which the students protest. Many of the protesters raise their clenched fists in the style of the Black Panther salute and appear to be chanting. The poster effectively appeals to African Americans to engage in protesting the War as a means of simultaneously combating racial inequality in America. The U.S. saw extensive protests surrounding its involvement in the Vietnam War many of which were organized by the Student Mobilization Committee SMC est. 1966 a nationwide organization of students who sought to end the war. For their events SMC created brochures posters buttons and stickers. SMC worked with other anti-war mobilization committees in the late '60s such as the Washington D.C.-based Vietnam Moratorium Committee VMC which sponsored anti-war moratoriums around the world in the fall of 1969. The VMC's first organized moratorium took place on October 15th 1969 and the second on November 15th in which over half a million activists marched on D.C. and demonstrated throughout the U.S. and the world. The November 15th event followed on the heels of the "March Against Death" demonstration held on November 14th when people marched down Pennsylvania Ave in Washington D.C. hoisting signs with the names of dead U.S. soldiers and destroyed Vietnamese towns. The protest on the 15th featured a rally at the White House in which chanting demonstrators called for a peaceful end to the war. One of the most influential student-led nonviolent protest groups in U.S. history the SMC began to disband in the early '70s as American combat troops stationed in Vietnam started to withdraw and return home. OCLC records only one copy held at Harvard. Google searches reveal a copy held by the National Museum of African American History & Culture. A striking poster reflecting the opposition of Black students to the Vietnam War and dovetailing with the ascendance of Black Power. REFERENCES: Aufderheide Ingrid.

Phúc Trình Thẩm Vấn Số 1702 / CSÄB / S3 / P33 / B3 / M. Saigon: Cảnh Sát Äặc Biệt 1970. Four page typed interrogation report with distribution sheet 8 x 10 inches in Vietnamese with two mounted silver gelatin mugshot portraits of Trần Thị Tư. The first page is headed "Báo Cáo Thẩm Vấn" roughly translating to "Interrogation Report" with Trần Thị Tư identified as the informant no alias no nom de guerre and her communist position having "contacted guided and sheltered her husband as he infiltrated the Capital District to carry out Communist activity." The report gives her address as 44C B Ä‘Æ°á»ng Phan Thanh Giản Gò Vấp lists her birth in 1953 at Xuyên Thanh Duy Xuyên Quảng Nam identifies her husband as Trần Văn Bốn alias Trung a professional weaver and records her occupation as an ice cream seller. The narrative states that after the family house burned in 1966 she moved to Gò Vấp married Bốn in 1967 visited him at a Communist base area after being guided through Tây Ninh received instructions from cadres named Nhiá»u and Tám Chợ and in April 1970 helped bring Bốn back to Saigon to live under legal cover. The final page states that she was arrested on 15 May 1970 while selling ice cream in Gò Vấp and then led security personnel to arrest her husband at Phiếm's workshop where he was apprenticing; the report is dated Saigon 19 August 1970 and signed for Major Lâm Văn Nghĩa Chief of the Special Police Office.

The report belongs to the period after the Tet Offensive when South Vietnamese and American security programs intensified the identification of urban Viet Cong infrastructure rather than battlefield combatants alone. Its language treats Tư as a source and detainee whose value lies in routes addresses family links employment and names. The file records a mother in law's address a rented kitchen near a workshop an apprenticeship motorcycle movements ferry and market truck transfers and the use of ordinary residence as a condition of clandestine work. The evaluation section concludes that Tư had no clear Communist ideological training but that she was used through "marital loyalty" to guide and shelter her husband so he could operate legally in the Capital District.

First edition presentation set of this massive first installment in the Geological Survey of Southeast Asia begun in 1908 documenting the biostratigraphy of the Yunnan Region which was awarded the Tchihatchef Prize of the French Academy of Sciences. Much of this survey work was done during the building of the Hanoi to Yunnan-fou Kunming railroad which was built by the French to exploit the tremendous mineral wealth of Yunnan. The Director of the Department of Natural Resources for France in Vietnam was Honore Lantenois 1863-1940 who worked for years with Henri Mansuy 1857-1937 and sent him back to France several times to study palaeontology at the School of Natural Resources Ecole des Mines. Lantenois recruited Jacques Deprat 1880-1935 in 1908 -- at the time a brilliant palaeontologist -- to conduct an ambitious program mapping the geology of Indochina and neighboring areas. All three men became involved in the notorious Deprat Affair which resulted in Mansuy accusing Deprat to Lantenois in 1917 that Deprat had used a few European-sources trilobites among his fossil specimens from Indochina and Yunnan. This accusation rested on the distinction that the suspect trilobites were not just similar in nature to others found in Europe but the matrix they were embedded may have originated from Europe. Although nearly 90 years later it would be determined that the trilobite fauna discovered by Deprat indicated that the Yunnan had occupied a location adjacent to Bohemia originally in the early Palaeozoic period; the French scientific community condemned Deprat at the time stripped him of his degrees and posts and forced him to leave the field. A complete set including the Atlas is quite scarce.

réf. PE29Oblong Quarto album ca. 268x364 cm. 30 card stock leaves. With ca. 215 mounted original gelatin silver photographs from ca. 87x144 cm 3 ½ x 5 ¾ in to ca. 69x67 cm 2 ¾ x 2 ½ in five real photo postcards ca. 108x139 cm 4 ¼ x 5 ½ in and six printed postcards ca. 137x87 cm 5 ½ x 3 ½ in. Most photos with period white pencil captions in French on the mounts at least seven photos including one real photo postcard with captions in negatives. Full ornamented cloth album fastened with a string. Several photos with mild silvering but otherwise a very good album with strong interesting photographs. Historically interesting album of lively vernacular photographs apparently taken by a French resident of Canada during his trans-Pacific voyage from Vancouver to the Orient in the late 1934 and early 1935. The compiler and his travel companions left Vancouver aboard the “RMS Empress of Canada” and sailed to Hong Kong with a stopover in Saigon Vietnam. From there they traveled overland to Beijing and Seoul and then continued to Japan visiting Kyoto and Nikko. On the return journey they stopped in Honolulu and New York. The album contains 215 well executed photographs from the voyage and opens with over sixty images of Saigon showing rare views of the first tea factory in the East-South Asia the Bank of Vietnam and candid street scenes of native huts boutiques and restaurants. Especially interesting is a striking image of half-naked ethnic locals sitting on the ground beside a bicycle and posing for the camera. The other photos from the region capture topographical views riverside fishing gear on the Huong River and snapshots of the compiler and his companions throughout their journey by cars in canoes along the Mekong River etc. Among twenty-five photographs of Hong Kong a standout image illustrates a bustling street scene filled with residents in traditional attire shopfronts with Chinese signs and flags of the Wang Jingwei regime flying alongside the British Union Jack. The rest of the images show the city’s port waterfront glowing night views and moments of the travel group golfing. In Beijing the focus shifts to historical landmarks documenting the Summer Palace Nine Dragon Screen Ming Tombs Temple and Altar of Heaven and the iconic Chinese guardian lions. A dozen photographs of the Great Wall offer a rare glimpse of life along its slopes with locals carrying goods in baskets and leading donkeys through the rugged terrain. The Japanese portion of the journey includes evocative views of Kyoto’s Chion-in Temple the historic Yaami Hotel and a Buddhist temple with a monk standing solemnly at the gate. The group also visited Nikko capturing sites such as the Toshogu Shrine the ornate Yomeimon Gate a stone basin and tranquil views of Lake Chuzenji. The album closes with about forty photos of Seoul Temple of Heaven Honolulu views of the waterfront photos on deck and Arizona Grand Canyon. Overall historically interesting album of lively vernacular photographs apparently taken by a French resident of Canada during his trans-Pacific voyage from Vancouver to the Orient in the late 1934 and early 1935. hardcover

1969réf. 55101Biên Hòa Nha Trang Long Binh and other locations in Vietnam plus Luzon Philippines and Osan South Korea. October 1969 to August 1970. A Soldier's Life in the Vietnam War An exceptional vernacular photograph album by a talented but unknown amateur photographer recording a wide variety of experiences on American Air Force bases in South Vietnam and Asia during peak years of the Vietnam War. The photographer was likely a member of the motor pool or a mechanic as the shots seem to center around truck airplane and helicopter maintenance. Most of the photographs capture scenes on or around the various bases with shots both inside and outside of barracks airplanes including several shots of a U2 spy plane bombed-out equipment and numerous photos of the people and structures in the "Vietnamese Area." A few images capture distant shots of the aftermath of a "rocket attack" on December 12 1969; shortly thereafter the photographer and his friends celebrate Christmas. Some of the more interesting photographs during the photographer's time in Vietnam include "VC Prisoners" "Group of Zips" "Papa-San Working His Rice Paddie" "Vietnamese Guard Tower" "Church on the West Side of Biên Hòa" "Refueling at Phan Rang Run" "Bring the Wounded Out" and several pictures labeled "Buddha Hill" likely the Long Son Pagoda in Nha Trang. Notably and for no obvious reason in two separate images the photographer snaps a picture in a magazine of the famous photograph of Thích Quang Duc the monk who burned himself alive at a busy intersection in Saigon in 1963. Several times the photographer takes a picture of another picture an interesting practice in the context of so many original photographs. A handful of images of the photographer himself can be seen in the album. In a couple of shots he is posed with his pet lizard. Later he and his fellow soldiers adopt a pet monkey who features in several photographs. There are also a healthy amount of aerial images featuring the South Vietnamese landscape notably rice fields villages rivers "bomb craters" and cities among other locations. Also the photographer identifies dozens of fellow soldiers by name throughout the album in both single portraits and in group photos. The album contains numerous shots both black-and-white and in color taken from the crowd and later on the runway during a December 28 1969 U.S.O. show at Long Binh with several images each of Bob Hope Neil Armstrong Connie Stevens Suzanne Charny Teresa Graves Les Brown the Golddiggers and others. One photograph of Neil Armstrong is captioned "Biggest Hit of the Show." This is understandable given the fact that Armstrong landed on the moon just five months before this U.S.O. show. There is also an 8 x 10 photograph of Connie Stevens inscribed to "Ron" either the photographer's first name or an autographed picture he received from a friend. After the U.S.O. show the photographer snaps several closer shots of Bob Hope Connie Stevens and others climbing into cars to leave. In April or May 1970 the photographer was shipped out to Osan Air Base in South Korea. Along the way he spends a couple of days at Clark Air Base in Luzon in the Philippines where he snaps a few shots of the base. By early May he has arrived at the Osan Air Base near Songtan Station in the city of Pyeongtaek South Korea just south of Seoul. He seems to be happy with his appointment at Osan; he captions one photograph "Home Sweet Home" and a few shots of the countryside as "Paradise." Here he also photographs Korean farmers their families villages a marketplace a church a school and other landmarks. The final two images dated in August 1970 show the photographer on an airboat on an unidentified Korean river. Personal photographic records by soldiers in Vietnam are growing ever more scarce in the market. This collection is one of the best we've encountered and most certainly informs the overall record of the war during perhaps its lowest point of public support. 469 black-and-white or color photographs 3½ x 3½ inches to 8 x 10 inches either mounted or laid-in to acetate sleeves almost all annotated in ink on the bottom margin or on the verso. Contemporary three-ring thick quarto-size binder black cloth over boards. Joints partially split some abrading and dust-soiling to covers. Slight fading to some of the color photos. Overall very good. hardcover books

After the U.S.O. show the photographer snaps several closer shots of Bob Hope Connie Stevens and others climbing into cars to leave. In April or May 1970 the photographer was shipped out to Osan Air Base in South Korea. Along the way he spends a couple of days at Clark Air Base in Luzon in the Philippines where he snaps a few shots of the base. By early May he has arrived at the Osan Air Base near Songtan Station in the city of Pyeongtaek South Korea just south of Seoul. He seems to be happy with his appointment at Osan; he captions one photograph "Home Sweet Home" and a few shots of the countryside as "Paradise." Here he also photographs Korean farmers their families villages a marketplace a church a school and other landmarks. The final two images dated in August 1970 show the photographer on an airboat on an unidentified Korean river. Personal photographic records by soldiers in Vietnam are growing ever more scarce in the market. This collection is one of the best we've encountered and most certainly informs the overall record of the war during perhaps its lowest point of public support. 469 black-and-white or color photographs 3½ x 3½ inches to 8 x 10 inches either mounted or laid-in to acetate sleeves almost all annotated in ink on the bottom margin or on the verso. Contemporary three-ring thick quarto-size binder black cloth over boards. Joints partially split some abrading and dust-soiling to covers. Slight fading to some of the color photos. Overall very good. hardcover
