(Daumier, DR 1863. Les Représentans Représentés. Assemblée Législative, 15) LABOULIE. Before being a representative of Marseilles, Laboulie must have been a professor of eighth grade at a middle school college, or head of an institution.

Philadelphia: Thomas Hunter, 1876. The Great Centennial Exhibition, Philadelphia 1876 A Superb Pictorial Record of America's First World's Fair WESTCOTT, Thompson. Centennial Portfolio: A Souvenir of the International Exhibition at Philadelphia, Comprising Lithographic Views of Fifty of Its Principal Buildings, With Letter-Press Description. Philadelphia: Thomas Hunter, 1876. Oblong quarto (7 3/16 x 11 inches). viii, 52 pp., plus map and fifty-two tinted lithographic plates. Publisher's three-quarter dark brown morocco over brown cloth beveled boards, covers ruled and decoratively stamped in gilt, front cover titled in gilt. Spine with four raised bands, decoratively ruled and lettered in gilt in compartments. Marbled endpapers, all edges gilt. A near fine and exceptionally clean example. A handsome and evocative souvenir of the great Centennial Exposition, America's first international world's fair, held in Philadelphia to celebrate the centenary of the Declaration of Independence. This finely produced volume presents a rich visual survey of the Exhibition through fifty-two tinted lithographic plates, capturing the extraordinary range and ambition of the fair's architecture and displays. The plates depict not only the principal monumental structures - Memorial Hall, Machinery Hall, and the vast Main Exhibition Building - but also a wide array of more specialized and often whimsical pavilions, including those representing individual American states, foreign nations, and commercial enterprises. Among the more memorable subjects are the Agricultural (cheese and butter) building, the Brewers' exhibit, and the Singer Sewing Machine pavilion, alongside views of Independence Hall, anchoring the Exhibition within the symbolic landscape of American independence. Accompanied by descriptive letterpress text, as well as a map of the fairgrounds and detailed floor plans, the work provides both a visual and documentary record of an event that marked the United States' emergence as an industrial and cultural power on the world stage. The tinted lithography, at once precise and atmospheric, beautifully conveys the ornate, eclectic character of high Victorian exhibition architecture. Preserved here in its original publisher's morocco binding, this is an unusually well-kept example of a work often encountered worn, the plates fresh and the overall presentation notably crisp. A striking and historically important pictorial record of one of the defining international exhibitions of the nineteenth century.

Description
Mexico City: December 2, 1844. Broadside, 17 x 11.5 inches, untrimmed. Old folds, very minor wear. Near fine. A very rare entry in the long goodbye between Mexico and the Republic of Texas in the run-up to the Mexican-American War. The present circular was issued by the Governor of the Department of Mexico, Nicolás Condell, promulgating a national decree from the interim President of the Mexican Republic, Valentín Canalizo, ordering the Texas campaign to be carried out in full, with all consequences. The decree is signed in type by citizen Nicolás Condelle, Brigadier General and Governor of the Department of Mexico. The text of the decree reveals that the end of 1844 was yet another turbulent time in Mexico. Interim President Canalizo rails against the inflexibility of the laws, the intransigence of congressional authorities in fixing them, the inability of the Mexican constitution to resolve such issues, and the general disruption in the public order. Most notably here, Canalizo seems to anticipate war with Texas and perhaps the United States, a possibility that was certainly in the air at the end of 1844. James K. Polk had just been elected President of the United States in no small part because he advocated for the annexation of Texas as part of a larger expansionist platform. Reaction in Mexico was suitably antagonistic, as the country had never acknowledged the independence of Texas in the first place. Here, in the first clause of the decree, Canalizo states that "the Executive is in position to make the Texas campaign effective and sustain all the consequences of this war." Canalizo suspends Congress, references the expulsion of Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, and asserts that "the Supreme Executive Power will continue to be vested in the individual who currently exercises it," i.e., himself. Canalizo reiterates in the third clause that part of the government's responsibility lies in continuing to "make the Texas campaign effective, and prepare to sustain it in all its consequences." This will be accomplished by adopting "measures conducive to the better arrangement and prosperity of the Treasury and the army," and by improving foreign relations. Essentially, Canalizo seizes control of the Mexican government in order to give the executive branch the power to conduct war with Texas. Clearly, Canalizo is anticipating this conflict, and seems to prepare the country for the coming storm, which would officially begin in the Spring of 1846. Condelle states towards the end of the decree that this particular publication is printed so "that it may come to the attention of all...by national proclamation." Rare, with only three institutional copies, at the Bancroft Library, the Benson Latin American Collection at UT-Austin, and SMU. A Zacatecas printing of the decree, dated nine days later, exists in only one institutional copy, at Yale.

Description
New York: Farrar & Rinehart. Very Good. (c.1934). First Edition. Hardcover. (no dust jacket) [solid but moderately shelfworn copy, light bumping and very slight fraying at several corners, one-time owner's name on front pastedown]. Classic Depression-era novel set in a mill town in the western part of the author's native Washington state (understood to be Aberdeen, but not named in the book itself). Cantwell's second (and last) published novel, cited and discussed extensively by Rideout, who found it "the best from most points of view" out of sixteen novels (his count) that were "particularly concerned with one or more 'class battles'." The author was deeply disturbed in his youth by the IWW-backed labor action in Centralia, Washington, in 1919, which notoriously led to the violent and bloody Centralia Massacre. (Cantwell was eleven years old at the time, and grew up in several towns less than sixty miles from Centralia.) One of the finest examples of a truly proletarian novel, it presents a realistic portrait of the working and living conditions of men and women employed in a veneer factory, that eventually lead them to organize a strike action. .
