Title: Mrs. L.E. Parsons. [Caption title]
Author: Parsons, Lucy Eldine
Seller: Langdon Manor Books LLC (United States)
Condition: Very good
Description: Chicago: Jac Maul, 1880. Very good. Cabinet card photograph measuring 5 3/8" x 3 7/8" on larger card mount. Very good with a patch of yellow coloring along the top and some staining/foxing to the photograph and mount. This is a rare cabinet card depicting an extraordinary woman, Lucy E. Parsons. Parsons was a social anarchist who was a founding member of the Industrial Workers of the World. There are different versions of Parsons' early life: she herself said she was of mixed Mexican and Native American ancestry; historians believe she was born to an African American slave, possibly in Virginia, then perhaps married a Black freedman in Texas. She met the activist Albert Parsons in Waco, Texas, and claimed to have married him although no records have been found. They moved to Chicago together in late 1873 and her left-wing ideology was shaped by the harsh repression of workers in the Chicago railroad strike of 1877. She argued for labor organization and class struggle, writing polemical texts and speaking at events. She joined the Workingmen's Party of the United States and later the Knights of Labor, and she set up the Chicago Working Women's Union with her friend Lizzie Swank and other women. Parsons had two children and worked in Chicago as a seamstress, later opening her own shop. After her husband was executed in 1887 following his conviction for being a ringleader in the Haymarket affair, she became internationally famous as an anarchist speaker, touring frequently across the United States and visiting England. In the decades following the 1917 Russian Revolution, Parsons moved towards communism. The Chicago police regarded her as a dangerous political figure and attempted many times to stop her from speaking publicly. She continued her activism as she grew older, clashing with the anarchist Emma Goldman over their differing attitudes to free love and supporting challenges to miscarriages of justice in the cases of Angelo Herndon, Tom Mooney, and the Scottsboro Boys. She died in a house fire on March 7, 1942. This view of Parsons is slightly different than that of the ones previously seen in commerce in the last ten years including the photo sold at Swann in 2020. OCLC locates a photo by a different photographer than this one.

Title: V. S. Pritchett Autograph Manuscript Of A Poem
Author: VICTOR PRITCHETT
Seller: Stuart Lutz Historic Documents, Inc. (United States)
Description: VICTOR SAWDON PRITCHETT (1900-1997). Pritchett was a British writer. He wrote many short stories, which were published in collected volumes, several books including two memoirs, and essays on literary criticism. AM. 1pg. 4 x 7. N.d. N.p. An autograph manuscript by V. S. Pritchett of a poem called Fashion Show in Narssaq. Pritchett wrote down three stanzas of the poem on a sheet of notebook paper in holograph ink Fashion Show in Narssaq. Here in Greenland against a backdrop of icebergs, / On a platform set up by the bay of a fjord / Five mannequins parade in the latest summer attire / Flown in that day from Copenhagen. // One of the girls / Has a limp, and they all need training in deportment, / Frizzed or frizzled their otherwise lank hair. Half boldly, / Half shyly they show off before their parents as the whole / Population of Eskimo Narssaq assembled, while / An amplifier diffuses its music. / At the end of the show / They line up for applause, and are then presented / By the District Inspector of the Trading Monopoly . The manuscript is lightly stained and torn at the perforations, and it is in near fine condition overall.

Title: The Crucial Years, 1939 - 1941: The World at War - From the Beginning through Pearl Harbor.
Author: Baldwin, Hanson W.
Seller: Lighthouse Books, ABAA (United States)
Description: New York: Harper & Row, Publishers, (1976). First Edition. Octavo, red boards (hardcover), map illus. endpapers, 16 pages of illustrations, 16 maps, 525 pp. Fine in a Very Good dust jacket with edgewear. From dust jacket: This is the first half -- through Pearl Harbor -- of the author’s history of World War II. It opens with a chapter outlining the causes, leaders and personalities, and steps toward war. The following chapters continue, in the highly readable style of the author’s brief outline history of World War I, with sections describing all major theaters and actions in the years 1939, 1940, and 1941. All the great battles on land, on sea, and in the air are covered in detail. The section on Pearl Harbor, “the end of the beginning,” recreates the flavor of sentiment in the United States at the time -- the confusion, fear, and anger. This history, a dramatic narrative enlivened by quotations from eyewitnesses, by one of the world’s outstanding military experts, will stand as the atuhoritative account of the crisis of World War II.
