Title: Souvenir Program for Spring Exhibition Game between Cleveland "Indians" and Oklahoma City "Indians," 1949
Author: Cleveland Indians [Paige, Satchel; Wynn, Early; Boudreau, Lou; Feller, Bob]
Seller: B & B Rare Books, Ltd., ABAA (United States)
Condition: Very Good
Description: [April 1949] First edition. With 11 signatures in pencil to front wrapper, including Satchel Paige (HOF), Lou Boudreau (HOF), Early Wynn (HOF), Bob Feller (HOF), and Steve Gomek. Publisher's white wrappers, printed in red, with portraits of managers Lou Boudreau and Joe Vosmik to front wrapper. Very good, with light toning to wrappers, scorecard neatly filled out in pencil, a couple of tiny nicks to left edge of rear wrapper, and some glue and brown paper residue to rear wrapper. With LOA from JSA. Overall, a scarce program, with some excellent signatures. This program is for a Spring exhibition game played on April 10th, 1949 between the Major League Cleveland Indians, who were coming off of winning a World Series the year before, and the Texas League's Oklahoma City Indians. The program is signed by three all-time great pitchers, all of whom were on the Cleveland Indians in 1949. Satchel Paige had an incredibly long professional career, playing in the Negro Leagues from 1926 to the late 1940s, and finally joining the Cleveland Indians in 1948 when he was 42 years old. He was the seventh black player to join the major leagues, and the oldest player ever to debut in the MLB. In his rookie year with the Indians, he helped them with a World Series title. Sporting News ranked the blazingly fast pitcher 19th on its list of the 100 greatest baseball players of all time. Bob Feller came into the league when he was just 17 years old. Cy Slapnicka, the scout who discovered him, said, "I didn't know then that he was smart and had the heart of a lion, but I knew that I was looking at an arm the likes of which you see only once in a lifetime." The prodigy played all eighteen of his major league seasons with the Cleveland Indians. He garnered eight All-Star selections and won the unofficial Triple Crown in 1940 by leading the league in wins, ERA, and strikeouts. He was inducted to the Hall of Fame in 1962. Early Wynn was a ruthless pitcher, who famously said "a pitcher has to look at the hitter as his mortal enemy." In his twenty-three years in the league, he was selected for nine All-Star games, and in 1959 was the then-oldest person to win the Cy Young Award at the age of 39. One of only 24 pitchers to have won 300 games, Wynn was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1972. Another notable Hall of Fame to have signed the program is player-manager Lou Boudreau, who earned eight All-Star selections and was the AL MVP the year that the Indians won the World Series in 1948.. Signed. First Edition. Original Wraps. Very Good.

Seller: Martayan Lan, Inc. (United States)
Condition: Very Good
Description: Bologna: Lelio dalla Volpe, 1766. * DSB XIV.589; Riccardi II.654-5: “raro e pregiato” (erroneously calls for only 10 plates); Cicognara 874; Gamba 2508; Vagnetti, pp. 456-57. First edition and internally a fine, untrimmed copy of this general treatise on perspective by the astronomer and mathematician Eustachio Zanotti. “Eustachio Zanotti’s treatise, as would be expected from a scientist of his quality, provides an analytical treatment of the mathematics of perspective at a highly professional level... He is aware that the science of geometrical perspective cannot be regarded as a precise matching of visual experience, and he recommends the avoidance of doctrinaire effects of foreshortening in large scale schemes to be viewed from various angles, but his ultimate recommendation is that the painter can best evoke reality by following the established rules with care and consistency” (Kemp, Science of Art, 141-42).Zanotti (1709-1782) was the son of the painter and Academician Giampietro Zanotti, and a member of the circle of highly cultivated Newtonian scientists working in northern Italy centering around Francesco Algarotti. Professor of astronomy at the University of Bologna, he discovered a number of comets, was a pioneer in the study of variable stars, and wrote a classic work on hydraulics. The treatise on perspective was reprinted in 1825.

From wikipedia: The 91st Infantry Division (famously nicknamed as the "Wild West Division"[2] with a "Fir Tree" as its Division insignia to symbolize its traditional home of the Far West[3]) is an infantry division of the United States Army that fought in World War I and World War II. From 1946 until 2008, it was part of the United States Army Reserve. It was briefly inactivated from 2008 until 2010 when it was elevated back to a division size element as the 91st Training Division (Operations).[1] Constituted on 5 August 1917 at Camp Lewis, Washington, near Tacoma, the division, commanded by Major General Henry Alexander Greene, soon thereafter departed for England in the summer of 1918. In September 1918, the division's first operation was in the St. Mihiel Offensive in France. Serving under the U.S. Army's V Corps, the division, now commanded by Major General William Johnston Jr., fought in the Meuse-Argonne Offensive and successfully helped to destroy the German First Guard Division and continued to smash through three successive enemy lines.[1][4] Twelve days before the end of World War I, the division, as part of the VII Corps of the French Sixth Army, helped drive the Germans east across the Escaut River in the Battle of the Lys and the Escaut. The division was awarded separate campaign streamers for its active role in the Lorraine, Meuse-Argonne and Ypres-Lys campaigns.[1][4] In 1919, the 91st was inactivated at the Presidio of San Francisco. The Division was composed of the following units:[5][6][7][8][9] • Headquarters, 91st Division • 181st Infantry Brigade 361st Infantry Regiment 362nd Infantry Regiment 347th Machine Gun Battalion [10] 347th Machine Gun Battalion [10] • 182nd Infantry Brigade 363rd Infantry Regiment 364th Infantry Regiment 348th Machine Gun Battalion • 166th Field Artillery Brigade 346th Field Artillery Regiment (75 mm) 347th Field Artillery Regiment (4.7") 348th Field Artillery Regiment (155 mm) 316th Trench Mortar Battery • 346th Machine Gun Battalion • 316th Engineer Regiment • 316th Medical Regiment • 316th Field Signal Battalion • Headquarters Troop, 91st Division • 316th Train Headquarters and Military Police 316th Ammunition Train 316th Supply Train 316th Engineer Train 316th Sanitary Train 361st, 36nd, 363rd, and 364th Ambulance Companies and Field Hospitals Notable members of the unit included former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Earl Warren.
