Description
London, 1883. First edition. A 5 x 6 inch original pen, ink and watercolor illustration by Greenaway that is reproduced on page 24 of the book Little Ann and Other Poems (London: George Routledge & Sons, 1883). A gentle image of a young boy and two women; one in a brown dress and apron cleans the young child's hand while opposite a woman in a fine pink dress holds the boy's other hand. This illustration has all of the typical sweetness and warmth that made Greenaway's work so beloved. "Victorian-era children's book artist and author Kate Greenaway began her career during the early 1870s illustrating greeting cards," (NYPL) but she soon turned her successful brush towards book illustration. "Like fellow illustrators Walter Crane and Randolph Caldecott, Greenaway sought to publish innovative children's works of the highest quality. Her focus on depictions of children, however, set her illustrations apart from those of her contemporaries. Greenaway's work is cherished today for its unaffected, pastoral imagery" (NYPL). Famous critic John Ruskin was known to be a huge admirer of her art. Greenaway worked on illustrations for Little Ann and Other Poems (based on poems by Jane and Ann Taylor) throughout the spring of 1883. The artist Henry Stacy Marks wrote of Little Ann, "on the whole, I might say entirely, your best book..."(Engen). This illustration accompanied a poem, which reads: "There was one little Jim, 'Tis reported of him, And must be to his lasting disgrace, That he never was seen With hands at all clean, Nor yet ever clean was his face. His friends were much hurt To see so much dirt, And often they made him quite clean; But all was in vain, He got dirty again, And not at all fit to be seen. It gave him no pain To hear them complain, Nor his own dirty clothes to survey: His indolent mind No pleasure could find In tidy and wholesome array. The idle and bad, Like this little lad, May love dirty ways, to be sure: But good boys are seen To be decent and clean, Although they are ever so poor.

Description
New York Woman Suffrage Party of the City of New York, [n.d., ca. 1910]. This broadside was issued by the Woman Suffrage Party to demonstrate solidarity between the labor movement and suffragists. Quotes by three labor leaders are printed here, including one by UK Labour Party founder Keir Hardie that reads, "I would advise all the Workers of America to work for Woman Suffrage…My message to them is COURAGE." Another quote by American Federation of Labor president Samuel Gompers reads, "I am for unqualified woman suffrage as a matter of human justice…MEN would feel that they were used badly if they did not have that right, and WOMEN naturally feel the same." . Sheet of purple paper toned at edges. . 7 x 9 in. Chip missing from top edge (touching a couple letters but not affecting meaning). Mounted on a larger piece of blue paper with adhesive at corners. A good copy of a rare and fragile item. The work exemplifies the efforts of the Woman Suffrage Party (WSP) to build solidarity with other political movements. The WSP was founded in New York by Carrie Chapman Catt in 1909 as a union of suffrage organizations in the city. The WSP was notable for its broad campaign that brought in women from immigrant and working-class backgrounds, Black and Chinese women, and Catholics. In 1917, women gained the right to vote in New York, and the WSP helped women exercise their voting rights through education, literacy efforts, and helping immigrant women gain citizenship.

WHARTON, Edith. ROMAN FEVER AND OTHER STORIES. New York: Scribner's Sons, 1970. 8vo. Illustrated wrappers. 238 pages. A collection of beautifully written stories set in Italy, France and America, and they are powerful portraits of women who live in "The world of propriety" the turn of the century. They tell of the emotions women feel in love, in jealously, when they long for children or seek independence - and when their passions lead them to overstep the bounds laid down by exacting conventions. Good.
