1891Best.-Nr. 020605Buffalo NY: George E. Matthews and Co. Publisher 1891. Unbound. Fair. Single sheet thin card stock. 6 3/8 by 4 ¼ inches. Black and white photo on one side with advertising copy on the reverse along with a small illustration of the printing press. A promotional trade card for the newspaper the Buffalo Morning Express asserting it was the "biggest cheapest best." The reverse touts their typesetting machinery and maps that come with subscriptions. Of note is the front side photo depicting three African-American boys sitting on a wall giggling and laughing rendering this somewhat of an anomaly unfortunately of a 19th century trade card where racist stereotypes were more often than not the norm. FAIR condition. Upper left corner torn off on the diagonal. Moderate dampstaining to the whole piece. Some creasing minor soiling and edgewear. George E. Matthews and Co., Publisher unknown
1953Best.-Nr. 021611No Place: No publisher 1953. Unbound. Good. Mickey Mantle Exhibit Card. Circa 1951-53 based on the "Made in U.S.A." printed in upper and lower case. 5 5/16 by 3 5/16 inches. No printing on the reverse. An exhibit baseball card featuring all time great Mickey Mantle. UNGRADED. Tiny dings/creases at the corners with the extremities bearing minor rubbing. Unfortunately the number 50 is written in pen at the top of the card both front and reverse. Small spot of soiling to the left of Mantle's head. UNGRADED. No publisher unknown
Best.-Nr. 021455No Place: No publisher. Hard Cover. Very Good. Oblong format old photo album. 30 leaves with photographs on both sides. Each page averages around 10 photographs per page so we estimate there are around 600 photographs total give or take a few. This photo album belonged to Lillian F. Jones nee Geary and depicts her friends and family at a variety of locations. Names of many of the people were added underneath at a much later date as indicated at the front of the album. Two handwritten leaves provide a "Who's Who" of the people included mentioning their relationships to others etc. Of particular note perhaps is one page devoted to photos of several young women in suffragette "costume" and holding small hand signs that say "votes for women" or "we vote next year." One of the latter also has the initials "NIT" in quotes. Another woman holds a sign reading "Officer Call a Cop." This was the title of a 1917 short film although we could find no reason to associate this with suffrage for or against. In the images the women are adopting clownish poses and it appears they have purposely blacked out a tooth or two and added moles. Because of this we feel that these women may be anti-suffrage. One photograph depicts a young man pulling on the hat of a young woman holding a sign. Other photographs depict young men and women swimming or posing at the beach at Brant Rock in Massachusetts. Several other pages chronicle two young women apparently visiting Provincetown Massachusetts swimming etc. Other photos are of Cushing Maine etc. Photo album is in VERY GOOD condition. Very little wear to the photos. Most are glued in and a few have detached. Minor toning to the photos. Photo quality is good and the shots are well done as is the layout. No publisher unknown
1869Best.-Nr. 020893New York: Susan B. Anthony Proprietor; R.J. Johnson Publisher 1869. Wraps. Good. Side sewn journal. Approximately 12 ¼ by 9 inches. 16 pp. Early issue of the Revolution a groundbreaking and influential newspaper produced by Elizabeth Cady Stanton Susan B. Anthony and Parker Pillsbury. The paper was established to provide a voice to activists and suffragists such as Stanton and Anthony whose voices were marginalized by the mainstream press as well as many abolitionist publications with whom they had been previously allied. Anthony and Stanton advocated for an amendment giving suffrage to women along with the amendment sponsored by abolitionists that would give Black men the right to vote. Many abolitionists actively discouraged Stanton and Anthony from pursuing their amendment until the amendment enfranchising Black men passed creating a rift in the abolitionist movement as well as the women's suffrage movement. Feeling betrayed by abolitionists and Republicans who initially supported them they established the Revolution with financial help from George Francis Train a Democrat who supported women's rights but was openly racist. As the name indicates The Revolution adopted a combative radical tone with Stanton and others unafraid to take on critics. The paper openly discussed sexual and physical abuse in marriage and advocated better divorce laws that would offer women a way to escape abusive marriages. In 1869 the paper broke with Train who had supplied very little of the funding he initially offered. It published until 1872 struggling to make expenses along the way. This issue with editorial correspondence written by Elizabeth Cady Stanton as well as a letter by Susan B. Anthony addressing concerns from readers regarding George Train's contributions to the journal etc. GOOD condition. Several fold creases present with other general wrinkling. Minor toning and scattered soiling in the interior. Susan B. Anthony, Proprietor; R.J. Johnson, Publisher unknown

Part II continues reports and debates on the recent land acquisitions alluding to potential problems but also containing the bill at the end that proposes to make California a state. It also describes in brief the vast dimensions of the proposed state. Much of this report derives from the then recent conclusion of the U.S.-Mexican War 1846-1848 and the territory gained at the end of the War.
