1836réf. 52765N.p. likely Augusta. 1836. Mainers Propose to Not Meddle in the Slave States A rare Maine slip-bill document resolving that the citizens from Maine and other states should not interfere with the issue of slavery in slave-holding states. The legislature writes: "Any interference therefore of a State or the inhabitants of a State with the domestic concerns of another State is dangerous as having a direct tendency to create jealousies between the States and thereby weakening the attachment to the Union which is our only security against domestic dissensions and foreign aggressions." This is a somewhat surprising position for the state of Maine to have taken at the time. Maine came into the Union in 1820 as a free state to balance the admission of the slave-owning state of Missouri. Also Maine opposed the admission of the Republic of Texas in 1836 the same year the present document was printed on the basis of Texas' position on slavery. It is curious that they would take two seemingly opposite positions in the same year. Still the legislature printed the resolution and authorized copies to be sent to the four southern slave-owning states mentioned in the title. Folded sheets stitched. Minor foxing and toning. Very good. Untrimmed. unknown books
1907réf. 45906Maine and various places in Europe. 1907 1913 1920. Images of Maine and Europe by an MIT Professor An outstanding collection of photographic images of scenes in Maine coastal France and the Channel Islands. The photographs were taken by an MIT Professor who apparently vacationed in Maine on a regular basis and who also visited England and France in the year before the outbreak of World War I. The albums of Maine images ably show the natural beauty of far western Maine while the album of scenes in France and England captures life in small villages and towns in Normandy Brittany and the Channel Islands before the peace of the region was shattered by the Great War. Two of the albums feature silver gelatin prints that have been printed directly onto the album sheets with accompanying handwritten captions. The third album consists of photographic prints affixed to sheets of the album. Though without ownership signatures we attribute these albums to Ralph Restieaux Lawrence a Professor of Electrical Engineering at MIT. These albums came with other photographic albums made by Lawrence on trips to the American West and Canada featuring photographs done in a similar style captioned and bound as these albums. Ralph Restieaux Lawrence b. 1873 was born in Cambridge Massachusetts and graduated from MIT in 1895. He taught electrical engineering at MIT from 1896 to 1941 and apparently enjoyed photography and traveling as the present albums would indicate. The three albums are: 1 HEALD POND MAINE 1907. Thirty-nine original photographic prints most approximately 3¾ x 4¾ inches each print affixed to a sheet in the album the sheets measuring 8 x 10 inches. Original oblong octavo album. This album contains a series of lovely photographs of the area around Heald Pond in west-central Maine not far from the Canadian border. Heald Pond is known for its natural beauty - ably captured in these photographs - and for its hiking trails. The photographs in this album are uncaptioned but show a number of images of the large pond and surrounding area as well as cabins and campsites. 2 PHOTOGRAPHS EUROPE 1913. 162 original silver gelatin prints approximately 3¼ x 5¼ inches each printed directly onto a sheet in the album the sheets measuring 6¾ x 9¼ inches. Each image is identified by a manuscript caption on the facing sheet. Original oblong octavo album. The pictures show scenes in France and England mostly in the regions of Brittany and Normandy the Channel Islands of Jersey Guernsey and Sark and the towns of Warwick and Stratford-upon-Avon. Many of the photographs show life in villages or larger towns such as Caen in Normandy. There are a number of photographs of scenes in and around the Brittany village of Concarneau including market scenes fetes and scenes along the port but other villages such as Pont-Aven and Vitre are included as well. Many of the photographs in the British islands show castles ruins towns and coastal scenes. In all a magnificent series of photographs of this region on the verge of World War I. 3 PHOTOGRAPHS ATTEAN MAINE 1920. Forty-seven original silver gelatin prints on average 3 x 5 inches one of them a panoramic photo 3 x 13½ inches on a folded sheet each printed directly onto a sheet in the album the sheets 7 x 9½ inches. Each image is identified by a manuscript caption on the facing sheet. Original oblong octavo album. Attean Lake is a resort area located in west-central Maine and this album of attractive silver gelatin prints shows scenes from a vacation taken there by Lawrence in 1920. The panoramic photograph is a lovely view of Attean Lake from a high perspective on nearby Mount Sally. There are several other pictures from Mount Sally as well as images of camps vistas from lake level nearby woods other ponds etc. A total of 248 original photographic prints. Oblong octavo albums. Original black morocco spines gilt titles as transcribed below. Albums with some shelf wear; European album slightly cocked lower portion of front joint splitting.

réf. 140940258Melbourne Australia: Fast Forward 1982. Complete run of 13 issues in 12 #008/009 is a double issue. Magazines often folded and sometimes staple bound with a variety of folded inserts with cassettes housed in silk-screened colored plastic wallets. Near Fine condition overall appearing to contain all inserts etc.; slightly rubbed and soiled occasional slight creasing to inserts or oxidation to staples. Small tear to rear wallet of #005. Issue 008/009 wallet gilt lettering well-rubbed. Offsetting to wallet of #011. Rare as a set. One of the very first cassette magazines which was popular financially successful and proved to be influential in the burgeoning global "cassette culture" of '80s independent music directly spawning such other projects as Sub Pop editor/ label head Bruce Pavitt was a contributor to the double-issue and the UK's Mix. The audio portion was structured somewhat like an old-timey news broadcast featuring new music as well as interviews with musicians. In addition to featuring the sounds of Aussies The Birthday Party Primitive Calculators Dead Can Dance Scientists and the Go-Betweens et al many prominent cutting-edge British and American musicians such as Pere Ubu The Clash The Fall The Residents Adam and the Ants and Gang of Four were interviewed and sometimes provided songs. Being Australian the magazine was bound to have a sense of humor. Robert Smith of The Cure got in on the act and provided "A Few Stylish Tips" in #013 about how he obtained that perfect lift for his '80s hair: soap and water. Crossword puzzles became a feature early on. Also Michael Trudgeon's design of the magazine was inspired growing in sophistication throughout the run adding inserts steadily stylishly utilizing only one or two colors in the printing process. A real acme of early '80s independent music print and design cultures. Its run lends credence to the idea that post-punk truly went beyond punk in many ways. Fast Forward unknown books

1846réf. 13085Saco ME: January 7 1846. 4pp. on a single large folio sheet of newsprint. Old folds minor foxing disbound from larger volume with tell-tale chips along binding edge. Still very good condition. An unusual appearance of a carrier's address printed on most of the back page of the January 7 1846 issue of The Union newspaper published in Saco Maine. The address itself is printed in three columns and contains typical news of the day particularly the imminent statehood of Texas and Oregon the election of Polk and Liberty Party presidential candidate James Birney former slave owner turned abolitionist and with several lines decrying the issue of slavery. An example of the latter from the middle column reads: "But change we now a while our verse Disunion threatens with its curse The land the great and good have blest With pure example wise behest And slavery rears her hideous head Among the sons of Freedom's dead. Was it t'enslave dark Afric's race Our country braved a tyrant base Unloosed our chains from England's Throne To rivet them on those at home How false the cry for Freedom dear From those who've strove from year to year T'extend to lands which should be free The blight of endless slavery!" There is also a passage concerning both Texas AND slavery also involving Birney: "As on the banks of Rio Grande The future slave of Texas stands And sees his children from him torn To bear the wrongs which he has borne Hie eyes suffused with bitter tears Glance up the long vista of years Among the sufferings of his race In hopes their author's name to trace; How does he start and heave a groan Birney he sees stands out alone!" The address is also interesting for the elaborate ornamental border composed of printer's ornaments including floral elements and patriotic symbols. This is the first time we have seen a carriers address integrated into the newspaper itself. January 7 unknown books
