Title: (California LGBTQ history) THE CASTRO, SAN FRANCISCO (1985) Pictorial map / poster by Graham Bruce
Creator: Graham Bruce
Seller: Walterfilm, Inc. (United States)
Condition: Just About Fine
Description: Np. No binding. Just About Fine. [San Francisco]: Community Pride, 1985. Vintage original 24 x 36" (61 x 91.5 cm.) pictorial map / poster. Unfolded, minor crimping at bottom left corner, some minor additional wear in a few places at edges, but just about fine with vibrant colors. A vibrant portrayal of San Francisco's Castro neighborhood at a time of great social activism but also at a moment when the LGBTQ community was being devastated by the AIDS epidemic. The map spotlights many of the establishments which catered to the gay community. We are treated to an oblique perspective of the neighborhood. Structuring the view is an orthogonal grid of blue lines representing the area's main streets. In the spaces created between these streets we find an abundance of imagery depicting life -- and especially nightlife -- in the district. At the forefront, most of the scenes are centered on a variety of human figures. Many of them have deliberately been drawn as neutral figures, in some cases hardly more than an outline. But many also include details that anchor the scenes to San Francisco, including 49ers football jerseys, CA license plates or ganja-toting hippies. The map includes many different images of gay men, with an impressive array of mustaches and cowboy hats. There are various portrayals of men hugging, dancing and generally hanging out and being themselves. This map is an extraordinary time capsule -- and an exceedingly rare one. WorldCat only records one known copy, at the Library of Congress, and I can find no previous auction record of it ever appearing.

The Luck of the Bodkins first published in the United Kingdom on October 11, 1935 by Herbert Jenkins, and in the United States on January 3, 1936 by Little, Brown and Company. The two editions are significantly different, though the plot remains the same. The novel was serialized in Passing Show magazine (UK) from 21 September to 23 November 1935, and this version was published as the UK edition. For its US magazine appearance, in the Red Book, between August 1935 and January 1936, Wodehouse re-wrote the story, reducing its length, and this became the US book edition. The story concerns the complicated love life of amiable young Drone Monty Bodkin, the nephew of Sir Gregory Parsloe-Parsloe, who had previously appeared in Heavy Weather (1933), when he was employed as the latest in the long line of Lord Emsworth's secretaries. The plot of The Luck of the Bodkins continues into Pearls, Girls and Monty Bodkin (1972), in which Monty, the object of his affections, hockey-playing Gertrude Butterwick, and movie-mogul Ivor Llewellyn all return.Condition:Some light foxing to fore edge pages, points lightly rubbed. Jacket with some closed edge tears, spine ends lightly chipped with some closed tears, spine sunned, tape repair to back panel else better than very good copy in like jacket.

Title: American Trans-Atlantic Telegraph Pioneer Cyrus W. Field Signs The Catalogue Of A Naval Art Exhibition In Greenwich, Headquarters Of His Undersea Cable Venture
Author: CYRUS FIELD
Seller: Stuart Lutz Historic Documents, Inc. (United States)
Description: CYRUS W. FIELD (1819-1892). Field was the driving force behind the first telegraph cable across the Atlantic Ocean. After unsuccessful attempts in 1857 and 1858, Field succeeded in laying a working cable between Ireland and Newfoundland in August 1858, only to have it fail four weeks later. He finally succeeded in laying a working cable in 1866. Field then went on to help establish elevated railroads in New York City, and to collaborate with Jay Gould in various railroad projects.SB. 36pg. 4 x 6 . No date. No place. A book signed Cyrus W. Field on the front cover. It is entitled Catalogue of the Portraits of distinguished Naval Commanders and representations of Their Warlike Achievements, exhibited in the Naval Gallery of Greenwich Hospital. London: William Clowes and Sons, 1853. It is ex-libris The Caldwell Collection, Library of Knox College, Galesburg, IL. Greenwich Hospital was a home for disabled Royal Navy sailors in the 18th and 19th centuries; the building later became the Royal Naval College when the hospital programs were moved elsewhere. From 1824 to 1936, the building hosted the National Gallery of Naval Art, now part of the National Maritime Museum. This book is the catalogue of an exhibition of naval commanders portraits shown in the gallery in 1853. Greenwich, a district of London, is noted for its maritime industries, including submarine telegraph cable. Glass, Eliot, & Company, which manufactured the 1858 and 1866 trans-Atlantic cables, and the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company, which was responsible for the construction and installation of the successful 1866 cable, were both headquartered at Greenwichs Enderbys Wharf. His signature appears on the top margin of the front cover, which is made of paper.
