1972réf. BK0130Portland Maine: Expo Building 1972. Large printed wrestling poster 17 x 26 inches printed in orange on cream stock with photographic portraits of Pedro Morales and Baron Mikel Scicluna. Moderate toning and edge wear with strong color and printing; very good. A poster for a 1972 WWWF card at Portland's Expo Building headlined by a World Championship match between reigning champion Pedro Morales and Baron Mikel Scicluna. The undercard advertised Chief Jay Strongbow against Nikita Mulkovitch Jimmy Valiant against Sonny King and a two-against-one handicap match pitting the Black Demon and Juan Caruso against Gorilla Monsoon along with Tomas Marin against Arnold Skaaland. Contemporary wrestling records document an attendance of 1600 and preserve the results of the card. Morales retained his championship by pinning Scicluna at 20:11; Strongbow defeated Mulkovitch and Sonny King defeated Valiant. The advertised Gorilla Monsoon handicap match did not take place with the lower portion of the card rearranged into separate matches between Skaaland and Caruso and between the Black Demon and Tomas Marin.1 Morales was then in the middle of his nearly three-year WWWF championship reign having defeated Ivan Koloff for the title at Madison Square Garden in February 1971 and holding it until December 1973. The Puerto Rican-born wrestler became one of the promotion's largest draws during the period particularly among the Northeast's growing Latino audience.2 The poster is particularly appealing for the large portraits of both champion and challenger and for documenting an intact regional WWWF card during Morales's championship run. 1 Richard Land "WWWF - 1972 Results" The History of WWE accessed September 17 2026 https://thehistoryofwwe.com/wwwf-results-1972/. 2 "Pedro Morales" WWE accessed September 17 2026 https://www.wwe.com/superstars/pedromorales. .

1912réf. 167751912. Unidentified compiler. Photograph album of women's education and collegiate life 1912-1920 documents student experience leisure activities and social networks across Maine including institutions such as Colby College and the University of Maine. The album captures young women's participation in academic environments alongside outdoor recreation travel and community life situating female education within broader patterns of early twentieth-century mobility and social interaction. The material provides visual evidence of women's presence in expanding educational institutions and their integration into both structured and informal aspects of student life. Photograph album. Maine and various U.S. locations 1912-1920. Quarto format album with 187 silver gelatin photographs mounted across 42 pages with image sizes ranging from approximately 1.5 x 3.5 inches to 3.5 x 5.5 inches. The photographs depict locations throughout southern Maine including Portland Waterville Lamoine Boothbay North Pond and Ogunquit along with additional images from Texas Florida and New Hampshire. Academic settings are represented through images identified as Colby College including a figure labeled "Prof. Johnson Colby '18" and references to the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity "Hurrah for A.T.O.". Additional institutional references include "Nasson Institute 1912" a women's school in Springvale and the Phi Eta Kappa fraternity house at the University of Maine. Human subjects include students and faculty such as "Dean Hunt" as well as classmates in graduation attire. Recreational and social scenes include young women snowshoeing playing tennis and participating in outings labeled "Picnic to the quarry" "Clam Bake" and "Hot Dog Roast." Automotive travel appears in images of early motorcars while other photographs depict children in Sunday school groups bicycle riding and staged performances of "Pied Piper" and "Red Riding Hood." Additional images include a man in World War I-era military uniform "Adrian Old Top" and an individual identified as "Texas Bill" posing with a biplane. Informal scenes include three girls reading on a rooftop space labeled "The Sun Porch" with a related image documenting their ascent assisted by a male companion. The album spans a period of expanding access to higher education for women in the United States particularly in regional institutions across New England. The inclusion of both coeducational and women-focused institutions reflects the varied educational pathways available during this period. Recreational imagery including athletics and social outings demonstrates the integration of leisure into student identity while references to World War I-era figures situate the album within a broader national context. Original cloth boards with minor wear and three small holes to lower right quadrant of front cover; photographs well-preserved with strong clarity; overall very good condition. A substantial visual record of women's collegiate and social life in early twentieth-century Maine. unknown

1825réf. 2001060051Portland Me. : Printed for James Adams Jr. by David and Seth Paine 1825. First Edition. Hardcover. Good. Medical Malpractice: Early American Legal History Front board detached. 124 p. Institutional stamps on title page. First edition of a medical malpractice pamphlet from Machias Maine. The plaintiff Charles Lowell 1793-1858 was an Ellsworth ME lawyer who was thrown from his horse. Lowell was injured in the fall and he dislocated his left hip. Due to poor medical treatment the injury progressed to paralysis on the left side of his body. "Lowell sued Faxon and Hawks for malpractice and asked for $10000 in damages. In March 1823 a jury found Faxon and Hawks guilty of malpractice and awarded Lowell $1962 an extraordinary sum in the early nineteenth century. The physicians appealed the case and won the opportunity for a retrial. The jury in the second trial could not decide on a verdict and passed the case to the trial judge who awarded Lowell only $100. The defendants appealed this verdict too which led to a third trial. The jury could not decide on a verdict and Judge Weston convinced Lowell to drop the malpractice charge permanently. The volume of literature on this case far exceeded the literature published on any other suit in the century and underlines the rarity of the litigation in this period.
