1840rif. 354279Mexico: Impresso Por Igancio Cumplido 1840. 964pp. plus one plate. Contemporary pictorial wrappers. Spine reinforced with archival tape minor dust soiling. Very good. 964pp. plus one plate. Variant issue without priority also printed in New Orleans in the same year. The text of a letter sent to Mexican president Anastasio Bustamente calling for a convention to address various ills affecting the newly independent state of Mexico. Estrada is heavy on political theory and with good reason. At the time of publication Mexican democracy was in a crisis. In July Gen. Urrea acting on behalf of Valentine Farias actually stormed the National Palace and took Bustamente prisoner. Bustamente soon escaped but the ensuing conflict between Farias and Bustamente for legitimacy had a devastating effect on hopes for a true democracy of the kind Estrada extols here. An excellent sample of Mexican political history and thought. SUTRO COLLECTION p.739 OCLC 7320339 Impresso Por Igancio Cumplido unknown

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

1953rif. 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
