MARIJUANA: From Grassroots to Mainstream
Seller
Johnson Rare Books & Archives (United States)
Description
The history of marijuana use in the United States is embedded in the grassroots movement – no pun intended. For many Americans today, the idea of marijuana as a forbidden substance is nearly as inconceivable as the prohibition of alcohol in the United States between 1920 and 1933. The collection consists of 103 items or groups, ranging from Smoke In flyers of the 1960s to the extensive archive of a marijuana activist in Oregon. The materials were collected over a period of seven years. A few highlights include: Grassroots information packet used by activists for California's medical marijuana initiative, the first successful effort in the United States Photographic albums of a Northern California grower, including botanic samples of his crop Production script for Cheech and Chong's Up in Smoke This material is offered en bloc for $60,000 and is subject to prior sale.

A MEDIEVAL ILLUMINATED VELLUM MANUSCRIPT LEAF FROM A BOOK OF HOURS, WITH A MINIATURE OF PENTECOST
Seller
Phillip J. Pirages Fine Books and Medieval Manuscripts (United States)
Description
France, ca. 1490. 144 x 99 mm. (5 5/8 x 3 3/4"). Single column, recto with 14 lines in a gothic book hand. Attractively matted and framed. Rubrics in red, two two-line initials, one painted pink on blue ground with flowers, the other painted blue and inhabited by a rampant lion on pink and gold ground, recto with a panel border featuring long-stemmed flowers and owls on a pink ground, verso WITH A HALF-PAGE ARCH-TOPPED MINIATURE DEPICTING PENTECOST, WITH A FULL BORDER featuring a plethora of different flowers, berries, greenery, songbirds, an owl, and a butterfly, all ON A RICHLY PAINTED GOLD GROUND. Trimmed close on one side (and just grazing a border on the opposite side), very minor chipping to faces, trivial signs of rubbing or wear, otherwise a fine leaf--colorful, bright, and very pleasing to the eye. This leaf contains the customary Pentecost miniature associated with the Hours of the Holy Spirit, but with several attributes that set it apart from other examples we have encountered. The miniature here depicts a densely crowded scene with the Virgin at the center surrounded by the apostles, each of whom wears a burnished gold halo. Packed tightly together, they gaze up at a white dove who emanates small red tongues of fire above their heads. According to biblical tradition, this visitation by the Holy Ghost in the form of a dove enabled Christ's disciples to start preaching, marking the beginning of the Christian Church. The artist favors an unusual pastel palette, choosing pale pink for the walls and eggshell blue for some of the floor tiles, as well as bright yellow, muted lilac, rose, and lime green for the robes of the apostles. Looking more closely at the figures, we see that each face is carefully individualized, each with its own features and expressions. Although most crane their necks to get a view of the miracle unfolding, one of the apostles looks directly out at the viewer, as if surprised by our presence. Moving outside the miniature, we note that the leaf features a particularly exuberant border with tangles of flowers, fruit, acanthus leaves, and several birds, including an owl in one corner. There is additional interest on the verso, with another bright border painted an intense pink and filled with more flowers and owls..
