Key West Florida WPA American Guide Series Rothstein Photographs 1941

1941Best.-Nr. 21672New York: Hastings House 1941. Very Good/Very Good. A quintessential regional guide from the Federal Writers' Project documenting the unique cultural and economic landscape of Key West at the close of the Depression. As part of the American Guide Series-often cited as the most ambitious research project in American history-this volume provides a granular look at the island city's transition from a collapsed industrial port to a burgeoning tourist destination. Notably the work features a sophisticated intersection of social documentary and fine art incorporating photographs by FSA photographer Arthur Rothstein and etchings by F. Townsend Morgan. BIBLIOGRAPHICAL FEATURES Artistic Contributions: Illustrated with 11 photographs by Arthur Rothstein Farm Security Administration and 10 etchings by F. Townsend Morgan Director of the Key West WPA Community Art Center. Cartography: Features detailed map endpapers specifically designed for the Key West layout. Structure: Includes specialized essays on the 'contemporary scene' history industry and commerce followed by a detailed 'Points of Interest' section. Documentation: Contains an extensive bibliography a chronology of the Keys and a comprehensive index. Sponsored by the Florida State Planning Board. Citations: Scharf & Schoyer 143; CBH 9. CONDITION: Very Good / Very Good. Aqua-blue cloth is bright; bindings are square and tight. Text is clean though showing an owner's address label on the front free endpaper verso and light offsetting to the preliminaries. The dust jacket is price-clipped with a darkened spine and a small closed tear on the top rear panel near the spine; it remains structurally sound and presents well in a protective sleeve. HISTORICAL SUMMARY: THE WPA IN KEY WEST By the mid-1930s Key West had famously 'declared bankruptcy' and turned its administration over to the Federal Government. This guidebook is the literary result of that intervention. It captures the city in a state of reinvention moving away from its maritime and cigar-making past toward the 'Tropical Paradise' identity it maintains today. The inclusion of Arthur Rothstein's photography is significant; his work for the FSA typically focused on the Dust Bowl but here he captures the weathered architecture and faces of the Southernmost City. Simultaneously the etchings by F. Townsend Morgan provide a high-art contrast documenting the 'Old Key West' that the WPA sought to preserve even as they modernized the city's infrastructure. This volume is a primary source for understanding New Deal-era 'cultural engineering' and the birth of modern Florida tourism.

San Diego: A California City

1937Best.-Nr. 19038San Diego: San Diego Historical Society 1937. First Edition First Printing. Very Good/No Dust Jacket As Issued. Sponsored by the San Diego Historical Society. One of the earliest city guides produced as part of the WPA American Guide Series. Illustrated wraps; The bindings are tight and square. Text clean light even age-toning to the wraps. Moderate shelf handling wear. 8.75 inches tall; 130 pages with an index and extensive bibliography. Illustrated with maps; historical plate and many period photographs; folding map attached in the rear. Unlatching a remarkable trapdoor into the past this compact and charming document of the Depression era invites repeated browsing and is generously illustrated with striking black-and-white photographs that bring the period to life. San Diego in the 1930s offers a lively account of the city's culture roadside attractions and history from the days of the Spanish missions to the pre-Second World War boom. The guide is revealing both in the opinions it embodies and in the juicy details it records tidbits such as the bloodiest and most incompetently fought battle of the Mexican-American War Emma Goldman's abruptly terminated speech to local Wobblies in 1912 and even a delightfully anachronistic way to beat a San Diego speeding ticket. Brimming with tours that can prove challenging to retrace this book reminds us of the changes wrought by seven decades of intervening war peace and biotechnology. questia During the Great Depression of the 1930s thousands of writers were hired by the Works Project Administration to create hundreds of guidebooks on all of the states in the U.S. These volumes that were produced became known as the American Guide Series.
