1936ref. BK0062Rigby Idaho 1936. Illustrated handbill single sheet printed on both sides with three photographic group illustrations on recto and descriptive text verso. 7 ¼ x 5 ¼ inches. Local overprint for a Friday evening performance at the Rigby Stake Tabernacle sponsored by the Rigby Lions Club for the benefit of the drum and bugle corps. Admission fifteen and twenty-five cents. Light toning and scattered spotting with old folds and minor handling wear; very good. An illustrated handbill advertising an appearance by the African American Dixie Jubilee Quartet at the Rigby Stake Tabernacle in Rigby Idaho. The local overprint announces a concert sponsored by the Rigby Lions Club for the benefit of the drum and bugle corps with the quartet appearing at 8 p.m. on Friday November 13 1936. A notice in the Rigby Star of November 5 1936 confirms the engagement at the L.D.S. tabernacle and names the four performers. The reverse identifies James Collins first tenor and soloist; Napoleon Simpson second tenor and soloist; Aramis Fouche baritone and soloist; and Arnett Williams bass and reader. Arthur D. Lawrence is listed as manager with an address on South Figueroa Street in Los Angeles. Fouché's later obituary records his work as a singer and manager of the Dixie Jubilee Quartet and notes the group's western touring activity. Under the heading "An Evening of American Folk Lore And The Old Favorites" the advertising describes a program built around plantation songs popular selections comedy and literary recitation while explicitly using the performers' racial identity as part of the appeal: "The peculiar charm of the plaintive Southern Melodies is imperishable. There is nothing so full of genuine sweetness as these old negro songs with all their simplicity and it takes the real negro to sing them as they should be sung. As rendered by the Dixie Jubilee Quartet these old plantation melodies take on new and more interesting charms." The program also included "humorous readings usually taken from Paul Laurence Dunbar's dialect works" with Arnett Williams specifically identified as the group's reader. The front promotes the quartet as "Humorous-Novel-Artistic" "Kings of Harmony" and "The Sweetest Music in All the World" while the reverse closes with the appeal: "What Would You Rather Hear Than A Real Good Harmonizing Colored Male Quartet" Overall a relatively uncommon piece of Western performance ephemera documenting a Black touring quartet in eastern Idaho and preserving the language through which such groups were marketed to white civic and church-hall audiences during the 1930s. . unknown

ref. 52769Snoeck Publishers 2012. Original publishers paper-covered boards Hardcover in-folio/ extra Grand formaat 40x53cm; Luxe edition signed by Dixie Dansercoer. Bibliophile Numberd edition of 500 copies; Number; 281. ISBN 9789461610690. De Belgische poolreizigers Dixie Dansercoer en Sam Deltour hebben het wereldrecord gebroken van de langste niet- bevoorrade en niet-gemotoriseerde expeditie op Antarctica. Dixie en Sam braken dit record tijdens hun grensverleggende Antarctic ICE expeditie in Oost-Antarctica het laatste nog nooit geëxploreerde gebied op deze planeet. Na 70 intensieve dagen op het ijs hebben beide poolreizigers een afstand afgelegd van maar liefst 48294 km . Tot op vandaag is deze afstand nog nooit zonder bevoorrading afgelegd tijdens een expeditie op Antarctica. "Een dergelijke prestatie vraagt enorm veel kracht motivatie en doorzettingsvermogen. Elke dag opnieuw moet je ertegenaan gaan in de meest extreme omstandigheden. De laatste dagen waren ook uitzonderlijk zwaar. Het was navigeren geblazen tussen grote en extreem woeste sastrugi en sneeuwophopingen tot drie meter hoog en dat bij temperaturen tussen -45 en -50° C. Enkel door onze intensieve en goede samenwerking gedurende meer dan 70 dagen hebben we deze ambitieuze uitdaging tot een goed einde kunnen brengen. Snoeck Publishers 2012 hardcover

1933ref. 16075Cincinnatti Ohio: The Richardson Company 1933. Very good. Complete plastic tea set made of "play-proof" Richelain a material similar to Bakelite but characteristically lighter weight. Full synthetic plastics were an innovation of the early 20th century first with Bakelite but soon with many imitators and formulas entering the field. Richelain was one such brand made of thermoset plastic that was lighter then Bakelite. Its composition also meant it was more brittle than Bakelite and often does not survive as well. This is a beautifully intact set of a rare Alice item. 10.75'' x 15.5'' x 2.75''. Set of 15 individual blue Richelain pieces in original box: four large plates four smaller plates four tea cups and three containers for condiments with an icon of Alice on the side the largest with a lid. Pieces set in original paper organizer with printed labels. With Alice-themed lyric on table manners by Dixie Willson printed on verso of box lid. Joints of box repaired and reinforced; some loss to Alice images on containers; a bit of soil here and there. The Richardson Company unknown
