India Famine Crisis

Max Rambod Inc. (United States)
Description
1943. Indian famine crisis press archive depicting hunger, relief work, and public unrest from Bengal famine conditions through later food riots in independent India. The Bengal Famine of 1943 killed an estimated three million people, and food scarcity remained politically volatile in India for decades afterward. Street demonstrations over grain, rationing, and hunger drew police deployments in multiple cities, turning food access into a public order crisis as well as a humanitarian emergency. Photo archive of 7 silver gelatin press photographs, mostly measuring 8" x 10", India, 1943-1964. Crowds gather outside food distribution points, children sit with metal bowls during feeding, mounted police face demonstrators, and uniformed officers move through dense street scenes. Press captions identify Calcutta famine conditions, food rioters dispersed by police in Kerala, fighting and fire in Lucknow, and relief activity for famine victims. Typed captions identify "food rioters" being dispersed outside the Travancore state government house in Trivandrum, Kerala, where police and mounted officers filled the street after looting over food. Another caption describes Lucknow fighting in which "rioters set fire to about a six-block square," with crowds massed near burning buildings and shopfront signs. Calcutta scenes show famine victims clustered around relief vessels and feeding bowls, with one caption stating that people had been "reduced to skin and bone" after food shortages. A street-side feeding scene shows children and adults crouched in rows with metal dishes, receiving food from a man holding a large bucket.Verso stamps include Acme Newspictures, NEA reference markings, New York Bureau labels, editor crop marks, typed captions, and publication dates. The group connects famine mortality, postwar scarcity, and street protest in India across a period when food distribution became a central test of colonial and postcolonial government authority. Press handling wear, caption remnants, crop marks, corner creasing, and scattered surface marks; overall in very good condition. A strong press group linking famine relief imagery with the public unrest that followed hunger into India's mid-century political life.

Near Fine in Very Good dj
Description
New York: Frederick A. Stokes Company. Near Fine in Very Good dj. 1929 (c.1928). First Edition. Hardcover. [bright and clean, very slight deterioration to cloth at base of spine, spine just a teensy bit turned, small piece torn out of edge of last text page (no loss of text), vintage price label (from The White House, San Francisco) on rear pastedown; jacket lightly edgeworn, small chip at top left corner of front panel]. "When a beautiful woman, in the prime of youth, finds herself married to a lifelong invalid and at the same time knows that love has come to her for the first time through another man, what is she to do? What of her vow, 'for better or for worse'?" Apparently the author, who wrote a total of six published novels but about whom I've found virtually no biographical information, was just eighteen when her first novel, "Race," was published, the year before this one. .
