Philadelphia: Published and sold at No. 9 North Eighth St, 1830. Double sheet broadside with vignette images. Folio (18 x 21 inches). Creased, folded, minor marginal losses at edges. Double sheet broadside with vignette images. Folio (18 x 21 inches). UNRECORDED DOUBLE BROADSIDE, JIM CROW & DINAH CROW. "Jump Jim Crow" is believed to have originated in the late 1820s by a blackface minstrel performer Thomas Dartmouth Rice. The earliest known broadside songsheets were published in the 1830s, with the racist genre peaking in popularity over the next three decades prior to the Civil War. "Images of black identity created by minstrel shows satirized blacks as singing, dancing, grinning fools. Actors/musicians blackened their faces with burnt cork and used other make-up material that demeaned African Americans for the pleasure of the viewing audience. It was the first example of the way American popular culture would exploit and manipulate blacks and their culture to entertain and benefit whites ...…

Oyster Bay New York, 1920. Old folds, wrinkling to bottom edge, but fine. A pair of letters from President Roosevelt's son, Theodore "Ted" Roosevelt III (1887-1944), known as "Theodore Jr." Both are addressed to Rev. Philip S. Bird in Dobbs Ferry-on-Hudson, New York. In the first he declines an invitation to speak as he's already engaged, adding, "the members of the family at this moment are so scattered that it will be possible for no one to be there. My brother Archie is in Oklahoma, my brother Kermit and my mother in Brazil and my sister and her husband in South Carolina. The other members have not yet reached that stage in life where they can be counted on to make speeches, at least of a coherent nature...." In the second letter, he declines to Rev. Bird to make a commitment to speak on some other date.

Chicago, 1842. 4to. Old folds. 4to. Chatty letters about Illinois politics, etc. "On July 7, 1897 Rev. P.S. Pratt welcomed Manchester's "many lovers of good books" who had gathered to celebrate the opening of Mark Skinner Library. The library was celebrated as a "new and elegant edifice" which would be "made accessible to all who are associated in the various relations of social and civil life." It was built by Frances Skinner Willing in memory of her father, Mark Skinner, a Chicago judge and philanthropist who was born in Manchester and returned to spend every summer here. Mark Skinner's father, Richard Skinner, had been a Vermont governor and chief justice. Mrs. Willing is noted by librarian and historian Paula Watson as one of the "Lady Carnegies" of the late 19th and early 20th centuries - women philanthropists who had "strong interests in reading and literature and personally empowering experiences with libraries." Watson writes that women's library philanthropy was extensive, but has gone…

Washington D.C and Nahant, Mass, 1920. Together, 3 pp. 4to. On United States Senate stationery. Old folds, remnants of mounts to verso of each. Together, 3 pp. 4to. In the first letter Senator Lodge thanks Hammond for the copy of "Mrs. Hammond's pamphlet on the Boer War," saying he is "very glad to have it and to hear about both sides of this question." In the second letter Senator Lodge tells a Mr. James Campbell that he has "no copies of my speech at Gloucester" to send to Mrs. Hammond. In the last letter he promises to send John Hays Hammond a copy of "Silver Jack." Mining engineer and philanthropist John Hays Hammond (1855-1936) was jailed in 1896 by the Boer government in South Africa for his involvement in the failed Jameson Raid, designed to instigate an insurrection among the immigrant workers of the region and justify an extension of British rule. Natalie Hamonds published "The Boers and the Uitlanders," an address she delivered to the Century Club of San Francisco, in 1901.

John Bright was a British Radical and Liberal statesman, a Quaker orator who battled the Corn Laws, and a promoter of free-trade policies. He says in one letter, dated January 11, 1865: "I take a special interest in the United States because they seem to me to have advanced human freedom beyond the point hitherto reached in Europe. I am observing the progress of your great conflict with an unabated interest, and I hope that before the year expires the rebellion may be suppresssed..." The United States Civil War, the "great conflict" to which Bright refers, would end in May of that same year.

Most bifoliums. 4to (Largest 21" x 9-1/2" unfolded). A lovely group of lettersheets by Charles Magnus, entirely typical of his output. Lettersheets were a convenient and thrifty form of stationery in an era which postage was calculated on the number of sheets used. Folded in half, these four pages were charged as a single page. Charles Magnus emigrated to New York with his family in the late 1840s. His older brother published the weekly German language newspaper, Deutsche Schnellpost, and it was there that Charles learned the trade, eventually going out on his own. In the guises of a publisher, map dealer, bookseller and stationer, he issued more than a thousand pieces of illustrated stationery - lettersheets, envelopes, song sheets, as well as prints - usually copying the work from other sources without attribution, sometimes…

"Our problems at present are immense. There are so many factors which enter into a request for credit with the World Bank that at times we feel almost submerged. However, I do believe we are making good and steadfast headway and that soon we will be able to obtain those moneys which are not only necessary to the company but also to the economy of Mexico and to a certain extent the well-being of Latin America"); David's brother Stephen, who "hopes to enter for his own account the dye-stuffs industry...he is intrested in producing high class dyes of which a great penury exists…

Card wrappers with some soiling to cover, inside pages are bright and illustrated throughout; overall very good. 131 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Early American iron toy mail-order catalogue. Adam Clark Williams of Chagrin Falls, Ohio founded his company in 1886 on the heels of his father's business, J. W. Williams Company, known for producing iron components used for wagons and cannon carriages during the Civil War. The production of toys began in 1893 after a fire prompted the company to move to Ravenna, Ohio. Williams was largely known for the design & production of cast iron cars & trucks, as well as irons and tools. Throughout the catalog the weight of the goods are listed in terms of their packaging, often by the dozen. Because shipping at the time was inexpensive, cast iron toys in the United States were made more than other types such as pressed steel, or tin which was widely used in European toys. Pages 90-118 show a variety of Toy Banks.
