1869réf. 021007New York: Susan B. Anthony Proprietor; R.J. Johnson Publisher 1869. Wraps. Fair. 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 pieces by Elizabeth Cady Stanton "The Third Volume" and "Editorial Correspondence." Also present is a lengthy piece by Parker Pillsbury on the Fifteenth amendment stating why suffragists such as Stanton and Anthony are against it in that it gives Black men the power to vote but not women or Black women and highlights the hypocrisy of abolitionists.

réf. 020868Aransas Pass TX: Published By the Author. Wraps. Good. no date perhaps 1955. Side stapled wraps 8 ½ by 11 inches. 12 pp. including covers. Second and perhaps final issue of this zine created by Maril Shrewsbury. Although listed as a member of FAPA Fantasy Amateur Press Association this zine appears to have little to nothing to do with fantasy in the sense meant. Shrewsbury was a carnival worker who was tasked with painting 12 by 26 inch pictures in under 6 minutes see Fancyclopedia 3 website. Her first issue of Heck drew heavily on carnival life and culture while this issue only offers two pages of insight into the culture. The rest is devoted to snippets of letters subtle sexual innuendo etc. All said this zine feels well ahead of its time. GOOD condition. Uneven toning and fading along the extremities. Heavy toning to the interior. Published By the Author unknown
réf. 020860No Place: John Mann Printer. Wraps. Good. No place or date perhaps Dover NH circa 1827 according to New Hampshire Historical Society information. Plain blue wraps. 12 pp. Rules and regulations for a private firefighting organization made up of community members in Dover New Hampshire. As Dover did not have a city supported firefighting unit social groups were formed to handle the duties. The first one was formed in 1795 and this appears to be one of several others formed after that. The piece outlines rules of governance but also outlines duties of its members including keeping two leather buckets and bags at their residences and responding to fires as soon as possible. Like any good "society" in the 1800s it appears this had a secret "watch" word that members were to give when asked for. Since there were several organizations in operation at the time rivalries were developed and it is possible this secret word kept people honest. A roster of members is included at the end with some names handwritten. GOOD condition. Rear cover and last leaf with a one inch jagged tear at the upper for edge with some associated creasing. Minor ink staining and soiling to the covers. Some dampstaining present to the wrappers with minor soiling and uneven fading. A few tick marks in the text. John Mann, Printer unknown
