ref. 1894319th century Tintype photograph of handsome African American couple. 2.5" x 3.5." An African American man and woman sit beside one another on a loveseat. The man wears a suit and tie and a flat cap; the chain of his small pocketwatch can be seen draping from his sportcoat. The young woman wears a high-collared white gown with a tiered hemline. Her hair is tied back with a black ribbon tied in a bow. They appear relaxed yet very serious. The man leans back slightly with his hands in his lap; the two seem to be very natural in their formal dress. Very good condition. unknown books
1870ref. 186321870. African AmericanInterracial Interracial couple tintype photograph circa 1870s-1880s an intimate image of interracial partnership in the decades following the Civil War when anti miscegenation statutes and racial violence sharply constrained such relationships in much of the United States. Created during the Reconstruction or immediate post Reconstruction era the image presents an African American woman and a white man posed in deliberate proximity visually asserting familiarity parity and shared domestic identity. At a time when interracial unions were legally prohibited in many Southern states and socially stigmatized even where lawful the photograph offers rare material evidence of interracial companionship rendered with dignity and composure. Small format tintype photograph measuring approximately 2.5 x 3.5 inches. The African American woman appears slightly elevated at left dressed in a high neck long sleeved Victorian dress with fitted bodice and subtle patterned fabric. She holds a wide brimmed hat with decorative trim and fringe in her lap and rests her hand gently on the man's arm a gesture signaling intimacy rather than incidental contact. Her direct gaze toward the camera conveys self possession and social confidence and her carefully arranged hairstyle and refined dress indicate middle class presentation rather than laboring status. Beside her sits a light skinned white man wearing a bowler hat jacket collared shirt and patterned tie posed with one leg crossed and hand resting on his knee. An ornate spiral walking stick or cane visible within the composition functions as a conventional nineteenth century signifier of respectability and status. The plain studio backdrop centers attention on the sitters emphasizing relational presence over theatrical scenery. Photographic representations of interracial couples from the nineteenth century remain scarce many having been hidden or destroyed by family members. In the aftermath of emancipation Black assertions of family stability property ownership and respectability became central to broader struggles over citizenship and civil rights. This tintype preserves visual testimony of interracial domestic life at a moment when such relationships were the target of legal intervention discrimination and violence. Clipped lower left corner; minor scattered surface wear and handling marks consistent with age; emulsion intact with strong contrast and clear legibility; overall very good. A significant visual artifact of interracial intimacy in the United States Reconstruction-era. unknown books

2017br. Domenico Bidognetti è stato prima uno dei più spietati killer e, poi, uno dei più importanti boss del clan dei Casalesi. Battezzato "uomo d'onore" a soli 25 anni, ha poi tradito - almeno secondo le logiche dei Casalesi - quel giuramento nel 2007, quando ha deciso di collaborare con la giustizia. È diventato, così, il più importante testimone interno dell'organizzazione criminale, tanto che nel 2008 fu ucciso il padre, per tentare di fermare la sua collaborazione. Ancora oggi testimonia in Tribunale contro i suoi ex alleati e affiliati, benché molti di loro fossero suoi amici sin dall'infanzia. In questo libro ripercorre la storia del clan dei Casalesi sin dalla sua nascita, ricostruisce le dinamiche del traffico illecito di rifiuti e di tutti gli altri affari in cui il clan era coinvolto. Racconta, dalla posizione privilegiata che può avere soltanto chi è stato ai vertici dell'organizzazione criminale, i più importanti omicidi, le più sanguinose guerre di camorra e le più note stragi. Tratteggia, infine, i profili dei più noti boss della camorra napoletana e della mafia casertana, descrivendone caratteristiche che può rivelare solo chi li ha conosciuti personalmente.
