Description
New York: S.W. Benedict, 1841. 32pp, light scattered foxing, bound in later cloth. Else Very Good. One of the great lawyers of his era in one of the great pre-Civil War human rights cases, Baldwin teamed up with former President John Q. Adams successfully to represent the Africans of the Amistad before the Supreme Court. The slaves on board the Amistad, a Spanish schooner, had mutinied off the coast of Cuba, killed some crew members, and forced the ship to head north. A U.S. ship off the coast of Long Island captured the Amistad; the Africans awaited their fate in a New Haven jail. While "Adams presented a bitter political denunciation of the federal government's treatment of the Amistad captives, Baldwin presented a convincing legal argument" [Finkelman]. Baldwin spoke first, his oral argument printed here. He extensively analyzes Spanish law, Spanish-U.S. treaties, and the law of New York-- the Amistad's initial landing point in the U.S.-- to demonstrate that the slaves were illegally imported Africans, captured by piracy, and hence free. This argument prevailed, and the Africans were sent home. FIRST EDITION. Finkelman 225, 237. Work 344. Dumond 24. Marvin 90. I Harv. Law Cat. 110. LCP 808.

Description
Paris: chez Chaignieau aîné, 1797. 18mo (150 x 85 mm).  205, [1 blank], [2] pp. Half-titles, two engraved titles, after Charles Eisen (Narcisse) and Moreau (Jugement), and 8 engraved plates, four in part 1 after Gabriel Jacques de St. Aubin, and four in part 2 after Moreau, most engraved by L. Duval. 2-page publisher's catalogue at end. Printed on wove paper. Contemporary straight-grained dark green morocco gilt, sides with double fillet panel and leafy vine border built up from repeated tools, quatrefoil tools at corners, spine in six faux compartments each stamped with a block of ivy leaves on a dense pointillé ground, gilt edges, board edges and turn-ins gilt, fuchsia endleaves, by Doll, with his gold-tooled signature at foot of spine (slight scuffing to spine extremities). Provenance: Amédée Rigaud (1819-1874), circular bookplate, black paper gilt with leafy initial R, motto "bona fide sine fraude," paper shelfmark label headed "Paris";  Sir David Lionel Salomons (1851-1925), bookplate.  A flawless copy of this illustrated edition of Narcisse, the masterpiece of the short-lived, gentle poet and Latinist whose profound knowledge of Virgil contributed to the "gift of imagery, sense of rhythm, and limpidity of style" for which he was later celebrated (Grente, Dictionnaire des lettres). This edition contains reduced reverse copies of the engravings of the first edition, published posthumously in 1769. With it is bound another neoclassical exercise, the most successful work of the Nîmois poet Imbert, illustrated with reduced copies of the plates from the first edition (1772).  F. Doll, active ca. 1796/98 to after 1830, was reputed to be Napoleon's favorite binder. The binding probably dates to his early career, when he was still strongly influenced by Bozérian jeune, with whom he is thought to have apprenticed. The finishing recalls Bozérian, particularly the "mille-points" spine decoration, rendered here by means of block stamps rather than individual tools.  Fine copy from the collections of two distinguished bibliophiles.  Cohen-de Ricci 672 and 507. Cf. Ramsden, French Bookbinders 1789-1848, pp. 72-73.

Description
Tama County: J.L. Hudson, 1860. Carte-de-visite photograph measuring 3 ½ x 2 ¼ inches on larger mount. Semi-legible ID on lower portion of image in pencil, some normal wear, very good overall. Very Good. An early and interesting image of Meskwaki subjects seated in a studio setting, likely taken in the 1860s or early 1870s in the CDV era. The subjects wear what appears to be a mix of traditional and western dress, with short haircuts and a Euro-American style hat in the background. The scene appears to be staged, with what looks to be hay underneath the subjects and one of the subjects looking at his hands. Joseph L. Hudson (1828-1906), who operated a studio in Tama, was the photographer. Later examples of Hudson’s work are held at the Denver Art Museum.

Description
London: Printed for W. Bower and F. Rivington et. al., 1771. 11th Edition. Very Good/No Dust Jacket As Issued. A HANDSOME, TIGHT SET OF SAMUEL CLARKE'S CELEBRATED PARAPHRASE OF THE GOSPELS, APPLYING ENLIGHTENMENT REASON TO SACRED HISTORY. Clarke was arguably the most influential British philosopher between John Locke and George Berkeley, serving as a primary defender of Newtonian metaphysics. This edition represents the enduring legacy of his rationalist thought throughout the 1700s, utilizing a sophisticated double-column format that places the Authorized Version alongside his interpretation. PHYSICAL FEATURES: Bound in full period polished calf with five gilt-lined spine bands and rich red leather title labels. Adorned with classic woodcut headpieces, tail-pieces, and decorative initials throughout the text blocks complete with a detailed index and publisher's promotional advertisement in Volume II. Two volumes, octavo (8.5 inches tall); pp. 274, 276. Volume features a long, contemporary manuscript inscription signed 'A. Hamilton' on the endpapers, alongside early owner signatures in quill on both title pages. CONDITION Very Good. The period polished calf bindings are tight, structural, and square, easily supporting the weight of both volumes. The leather displays a rich, authentic antiquarian patina with modest shelf handling wear and light rubbing to the joints and extremities. The spines are evenly darkened by age, keeping the red leather labels and gilt accents distinct. Internally, the text blocks are clean with light, even age-toning. This copy lacks the blank free endpapers and preliminaries, but the text of the Paraphrase and the Critical Notes is entirely complete and well-preserved. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE - Samuel Clarke was a titan of the British Enlightenment, celebrated equally as a logician, physicist, and theologian. His famous debate with Leibniz defended the Newtonian worldview of space and time, cementing his reputation as the premier intellectual gatekeeper of early 18th-century London. First published in 1703, 'A Paraphrase on the Four Evangelists' became his most enduring pastoral success. While his later works faced accusations of Arian heresy, this volume remained a foundational textbook for generations of students, pastors, and freethinkers who demanded a more reasonable, less dogmatic interpretation of the New Testament. SUBJECTS: 18th-Century Philosophy, Enlightenment Theology, Anglicanism, Biblical Commentary, Unitarian History, Isaac Newton, Latitudinarianism, Marginalia, Early Printed Books, Fine Bindings.

Description
1992. [Underground Music] [Indie Rock Zines] Edited and largely written by Scott Rutherford, the zine reflects a unique moment in American subcultural publishing when punk, indie rock, and vintage car culture collided in the DIY scene. Three issues of Speed Kills!, a hybrid indie rock and automotive zine published in Chicago in the early 1990s. Each issue is a vivid chronicle of underground musical and visual culture, with strong regional ties to Chicago and national relevance through its coverage of touring bands and scenes. The archive includes issues #2 (Spring 1992), #5, and #7, all printed in black-and-white with screen-printed or offset color covers, each approximately 8.5 x 11 inches. [1] Rutherford, Scott (ed.). Speed Kills! No. 2. Chicago: Self-published, 1992. This early issue includes coverage of the Richmond band Breadwinner, East Coast drag racing, the Australian noise-punk group Cosmic Psychos, and a profile of Detroit drag legend Ed "Big Boss Man" Milhizer. As noted on the cover, the zine delivers "Breadwinner! Unrest! Cosmic Psychos! Drag Racing! Lotsa Reviews!" The editorial notes refer to coverage from the "'92 Bedroom Nats," combining punk show reportage with drag strip atmosphere. The design incorporates full-bleed photo reproductions, hand-lettering, and found collage. [2] Rutherford, Scott (ed.). Speed Kills! No. 5. Chicago: Self-published, 1993. This issue includes a contributor list of more than two dozen names from the underground music and zine world, including members of Gaunt, Cherubs, Pitchblende, Don Caballero, and Steadkaddy Six. The zine comes with a bonus 7" record featuring Gaunt and includes a faux-survey titled "Favorite Car Survey? Yes." Interviewees include Merge Records co-founder Laura Ballance and record engineer Steve Albini, who describes his favorite ride as "any van with over 250,000 miles." One page advertises a music zine marketplace with the slogan "your needle is distorting sound by as much as 85%," blending fidelity humor with hardline DIY ethics. [3] Rutherford, Scott (ed.). Speed Kills! No. 7. Chicago: Self-published, 1994. Labeled the "Art & Science Special," this issue includes a piece titled "Futurism: Proto Punk?" by Karen Pinkus, linking early 20th-century Italian Futurism with the energy and aesthetic of punk rock. Includes contributions by indie rock standouts like Mac McCaughan (Superchunk), and Rachel Brook (Flying Saucer Attack) . A profile of the band Unwound is presented under the title "smashing the work ethic OR everyday is yesterday," while reviews cover artists including Don Caballero, Cherubs, and Labradford. The layout remains resolutely cut-and-paste, incorporating xerox collage, screen print textures, and handwritten text. Speed Kills was a Chicago-based fanzine launched in 1991 by editor Scott Rutherford, uniquely blending the worlds of underground indie rock and vintage drag racing culture. Emerging during a time when fanzines served as vital connectors within DIY music communities, Speed Kills stood out by juxtaposing interviews and reviews of bands like Nirvana, Pavement, and Superchunk with in-depth features on 1960s drag racing legends and hot rod culture. Its pages often featured hand-screened covers, vintage auto parts advertisements, and detailed discussions on car mechanics, reflecting a deep enthusiasm for both music and automotive subcultures. This fusion offered readers a tactile and immersive experience, highlighting the shared spirit of creativity and rebellion in both scenes. Light toning to page edges. Minor staple rust and occasional handling creases. Covers bright and intact. Overall very good condition. Speed Kills! stands as a rare and distinctive zine that merged the grease-stained Americana of hot rod nostalgia with the avant-garde ethos of noise rock and punk, embodying the collision of speed, sound, and subculture in the 1990s musical underground.

Description
México, N.d.. (2 inch non-continuous line with loss of image center left). 10x8 in. b/w photograph with photographer's stamp on verso, for magazine "Mañana" inscription in verso reads: " MEXICO ARQUEOLOGIA/CIVILIZACION MAYA", tipped in piece of paper with inscription: El grabado es maya clásico y se encontro en otra gigantesca piedra, oculta por la vegetación. Allí estaba el testimonio inobjetabe de la Ciudad Perdida, descubierta cuatrocientos años después de que la selva la devoró. Era el objetivo de MAÑANA." Nacho Lopez's role in Mexican photojournalism along with that of Hector Garcia are some of the most noteworthy of the mid-20th century. In an in-detail recount of Nacho Lopez's journalistic works, John Máraz (Nacho López y el fotoperiodismo mexicano en los años cincuenta) shows us, in fact, he was not as much a photojournalist as he was a photoessayist, and that one of his best sequences are "directed". Thus, while certain pictures are frankly posed, others, the most enduring ones, are takes of provoked situations - photo records of performances that are ahead of their time, series of images articulated for a purpose and published together. And sequences is what Nacho Lopez mainly photographed, as sequences is a great part of the records of the Mayo brothers, Enrique Diaz, Hector Garcia, Bordes Mangel, and all major Mexican photographers that published graphic essays and reportages in such magazines as Hoy, Rotofoto, Mañana y Siempre.
