1944Best.-Nr. 214362Los Angeles.: Los Angeles Examiner. April 31944. Colour pictorial map on a single newspaper leaf 37 x 50 cms; 41.5 x 54.6 cms sheet unrelated text on the verso although with an interesting account from a soldier's letter about an air raid in China toning more marked at the central fold two small splits no loss to the map edge wear with several small marginal edge tears neatly repaired on the verso with archival washi map unaffected in good condition. A dynamic map prepared and illustrated by the Examiner's art critic and editor Howard Burke covering the area surrounding India and Central Asia showing Japanese conquered territory in Malaya Thailand Indo-China and Burma; and in India British-controlled states and native feudal and protected states. Text boxes and pictographs give an overview of the geopolitical situation from the Allied perspective. One box notes "Chanda Bose has many adherents and fanatical followers in Bengal. They may prove to be a powerful fifth column in India". Text at lower edge opines "The situation in India is critical and has grown more so as the all-out offensive against Japan has been delayed. If the Allies do not act at once and with great force all our gains may be wiped out and the war in the Pacific prolonged indefinitely." The decisive and devastating bombings that were to signal such an end were four months away. Rare on the market. . Los Angeles Examiner. unknown

1953Best.-Nr. 236501953. Bright Road publicity photograph group 1953 documenting a major studio film that departed from postwar racial problem pictures by centering Black teachers children and families without making racial conflict its narrative engine. Featuring an all black cast Dorothy Dandridge plays the idealistic teacher Jane Richards while Harry Belafonte in his feature film debut appears as the supportive principal Mr. Williams. Released one year before Brown v. Board of Education the film presents Black professionalism and segregated institutions through the story of Black teachers running a rural school guiding students through both the classroom emotions and adolescence without relying on a white protagonist or a plot centered on racial confrontation. Photo archive of five silver gelatin publicity photographs each 8 x 10 inches Metro Goldwyn Mayer 1953. The photographs show Dandridge writing "I am the new teacher. My name is Miss Richards" on a classroom blackboard; Dandridge addressing a gathering of Black women in the principal's office as Belafonte listens; Belafonte speaking outside the school with Philip Hepburn as C. T. Young; Hepburn kneeling beside a hunting dog; and Dandridge supervising children making Christmas decorations beneath a classroom display reading "Christmas around world." Printed borders identify Bright Road as "A Metro Goldwyn Mayer picture" and carry Loew's copyright National Screen Service distribution language production numbers and the code "53/221." Versos bear Photofest credit and return labels editorial inscriptions and publication markings. Mary Elizabeth Vroman adapted the film from "See How They Run" her 1951 short story based on her work in rural Alabama classrooms. Her participation in the screenplay made her the first African American woman admitted to the Screen Writers Guild extending the film's representation of Black educators into its authorship. Dandridge's role preceded her Academy Award nominated performance in Carmen Jones while Belafonte's debut began a screen career that repeatedly joined performance with civil rights activism. The film's restraint could obscure the legal segregation surrounding its Alabama school but its nearly all Black social world rejected Hollywood's usual dependence on racial confrontation or white authority to make Black life legible. Light surface wear edge creasing scattered stains editorial markings and localized image loss to one print. Overall in good condition. A concentrated visual record of Black education professional authority and authorship within 1950s Hollywood studio production. unknown

In English. 110 p. with rich separate advertisements, and a fine folded b/w map titled "Desert motor-routes" on a scale of 1:4,000,000. Slightly fading on cloth, otherwise a fine copy. First and only edition of this rare complete and very detailed desert motor-routes' guide for the Anglo-Egyptian motorists, printed by the Egyptian Touring Association in Cairo, including details about hospitals, "what to do in cases of accidents on the roads", free legal defence, hotels, garages as well as itineraries, pedestrian crossings, speed limits in the country, parking regulations of Sharia Kasr el Nil, Adly Pasha, no-lights area, railway bridges, postal rates, exchange rates, rates of freight on motor cars by sea and rail, kilometers into miles, transcontinental road London - Istanbul with other useful information. This guide was explained in the introduction as "This handbook has been compiled for the benefit of members and is issued to them free. Extra copies may be obtained from the Head Office, 3 Sh. Cattawi Bey, Kasr el Nil, Cairo, at the price of P.T. 10. It contains a good deal of useful information regarding touring of all kinds in Egypt and abroad including a list of recommended hotels and garages throughout the country. "The president of the Association which was founded in 1932, was H.E. Sir Miles Lampson (1880-1964). He was a British diplomat who was appointed High Commissioner for Egypt and Sudan in 1934. As a result of the Anglo-Egyptian Treaty in December 1936, to which Lampson was a signatory, Britain loosened its grip on Egypt and the post title was changed to Ambassador to Egypt and High Commissioner for Sudan in 1936. Lampson continued in this office until 1946. Vice presidents were Sir Stenson Cooke and J. A. Crawford. According to the ETA's service page of the guide, the purpose of the association can be determined as "Association was formed to provide a long-felt want in Egypt, that is, a touring club in the true sense of the word, devoted to the interests of all kinds of travelers. It's a non-profit making co-operative organization with the aim of making the path of the motorist, the airman, the camper, and every other kind of traveler pleasanter and smoother. The E.T.A. is officially recognized by the Egyptian Government and already in its short existence has grown enormously, being able to offer the following very real services to its members: Expert and detailed advice on all touring matters. Expert advice on motoring matters and vetting of cars. Free itineraries to all parts of Egypt and abroad. Reminders are sent to all members when a car and driving license is due for renewal. Renewal of car and driving licenses. Free legal defense for motoring offenses. Triptyques, carnets, and all documents for foreign touring, including passport arrangements. Agents at Alexandria, PortSaid, Suez, and the principal ports to look after the incoming and outgoing motorist and relieve him of all worry. A full stock of maps and guide books of Egypt and other countries. Up-to-date information on the state of roads and desert tracks. Welcome and help from the 100 odd touring clubs of the A.I.T. [i.e. the Alliance Internationale de Tourisme], of which the E.T.A. is a member. Recommended hotels and garages throughout Egypt and the Near East. Insurance for members can be effected at the most advantageous rates, and advice is given. Cars can be driven to any part of Egypt, by experienced drivers. Guides are provided. Other benefits, it is hoped, will be given in due of course.". Not located in OCLC. "1938-39 Edition" of the series (not published more than two years) is located in OCLC in no. 862336537.

Palma 1832-1908 was the president of the Cuban Republic in Arms during the Ten Years' War and the first President of Cuba between 1902-1906. He worked with José Martí to gather support for a revolution in Cuba and was the head of the Cuban Revolutionary party. He was elected while living in the United States at his homebase in Central Valley NY where he founded a multilingual co-ed private school licensed by New York State. Written to a newspaper during his presidential campaign the letter outlines the siutuation in Cuba and his hopes for the country. He was media-savy and used Hearst newspapers to spread his message and worked with the US Congress to pass a resolution renouncing the Spanish colonial hold on Cuba and announcing support for the creation of an independent Republic of Cuba. Upon his election in absentia at age 67 he returned to a Cuba from which he'd been effectively exiled a quarter-century before. He was elected to a second term in 1905 and died in 1908. unknown
