Seller: Burnside Rare Books, ABAA

Title: Maya Angelou's House: Valley Rd. Winston-Salem [Photo album]
Author: Angelou, Maya; Eugene B. Redmond; Ruth B. Love
Seller: Burnside Rare Books, ABAA (United States)
Condition: Very Good
Description: Winston-Salem, NC: [No publisher], 1980. Very Good. Photo album containing candid snapshots of Maya Angelou and her friends and associates. Fifty-seven photos, of which 23 are in color and 34 in black and white, under glassine on sticky album pages. Bound in padded red and gold paper-covered boards, handlettered label sticker to spine, internal spiral binding. Very Good with rubbed lower edges, fading to spine, and split to paper at lower rear joint. Pages toned, adhesive coating weak; most pictures have shifted around and are loose behind the glassine. Most of the photos were taken at the same event at Angelou's house during the 1980s, though several near-duplicates depict Eugene B. Redmond and Ruth Love standing in front of an art installation. One street scene portrait of Redmond is inscribed on the back: "To Ruth - Best, Imani. Street scene, New York, Fall '85." Maya Angelou moved to the North Carolinian city of Winston-Salem after accepting a lifetime professorship at Wake Forest University in 1981, which she held until her death in 2014. Angelou, who appears in eleven of these photos, found the experience transformative. She once told a USA Today reporter that “I’m not a writer who teaches. I’m a teacher who writes. But I had to work at Wake Forest to know that.” Among Angelou's many guests was the poet and professor Eugene B. Redmond, a longtime close friend who appears twenty-four times in this album and who stamped many of the photos on verso with “Compliments Poet-Eugene B. Redmond.” The educator Ruth Love appears in forty of the photographs. As the Superintendent of the Oakland School system in the late 1970s, she created programming to bring prominent African Americans, including Maya Angelou, face to face with students in order to inspire and educate them. The two women maintained their friendship and traveled to Ghana together in 1993. An intimate look into the personal life of one of the greatest figures of American writing, touching in its ordinariness.

Title: President Andrew Johnson Declares Thanksgiving in 1868
Author: Andrew Johnson
Seller: The Raab Collection (United States)
Description: 12/10/1868. It was President Lincoln that first declared the holiday of Thanksgiving in the United States. His successor, Andrew Johnson, chose to continue the tradition, and it has been maintained ever sinceJohnson’s 1868 Thanksgiving Proclamation stated: “In the year which is now drawing to its end the art, the skill, and the labor of the people of the United States have been employed with greater diligence and vigor and on broader fields than ever before, and the fruits of the earth have been gathered into the granary and the storehouse in marvelous abundance. Our highways have been lengthened, and new and prolific regions have been occupied. We are permitted to hope that long-protracted political and sectional dissensions are at no distant day to give place to returning harmony and fraternal affection throughout the Republic. Many foreign states have entered into liberal agreements with us, while nations which are far off and which heretofore have been unsocial and exclusive have become our friends.“The annual period of rest, which we have reached in health and tranquillity, and which is crowned with so many blessings, is by universal consent a convenient and suitable one for cultivating personal piety and practicing public devotion.“I therefore recommend that Thursday, the 26th day of November next, be set apart and observed by all the people of the United States as a day for public praise, thanksgiving, and prayer to the Almighty Creator and Divine Ruler of the Universe, by whose ever-watchful, merciful, and gracious providence alone states and nations, no less than families and individual men, do live and move and have their being.In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington, this 12th day of October, A.D. 1868, and of the Independence of the United States the ninety-third.”It is interesting that Johnson looks for the bitterness arising from the Civil War to end, stating his “hope that long-protracted political and sectional dissensions are at no distant day to give place to returning harmony and fraternal affection throughout the Republic.” He also specifically notes that he has caused the seal to be affixed to his proclamation. This is his original order to affix the seal of the United States to the proclamation.Document signed, Washington, October 12, 1868, ordering “the Secretary of State to affix the seal of the United States to a Thanksgiving Proclamation dated this day and signed by me…”Presidentially signed orders to put into effect Thanksgiving proclamations are uncommon.
