Description:
[San Francisco]: n.p., 1967. Photograph. 8x10 b&w publicity photo of the artist standing beside his "Penguins Prayer" sculpture with a caption label affixed to back and wrapping over to front. The photo is likely just after the sculpture had been moved to the Center in 1967, certainly no later than 1970 when Bufano died. The sculpture was originally created in 1969 with WPA funding. No photographer noted.

Los Angeles: Office of the County Superintendent of Schools, Los Angeles County, 1942. 53p., mimeo'd rectos, 11x8.5 inch staplebound wraps under mimeo'd cover sheet, binder's tape spine. Cheap paperstock very browned and mildly fragile, rear "hinge" separated without any tearing or detachment (probably best not to "repair" this as it appears to be "as issued"), old ownership signature across top of cover sheet, mild external soil. A nice copy, all in all, with a laid-in chart (folded) from an August 1942 issue of PIC magazine headed "Chemical Warfare Agents" Work Projects Administration project no. 265-1-07-13. National defense monograph, mimeographed by WPA 2/9/42 CD-25 461. Discussions of various irritants, and worse, and what to do, compiled apparently from standard sources.
