Description
Very Good +. A wonderful piece of political folk art, a skillful portrait in hair, cork and stencil of legendary labor leader John L. Lewis (1880-1969), who ran the United Mine Workers of America (UMW) for 40 years and was also President of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (the CIO). The artist is J.W. McDonough, who signed his name in pencil on the matting. The backdrop includes a number of handwritten labor monograms ("UMW", "CIO", "AFL") and the condition is bright and very clean, with one or two small tears to the paper backing. The portrait measures 12" x 14" and includes a simple light-brown wooden frame. (Unsurprisingly, Lewis's infamous --and trademark-- eyebrows are here as thick as a forest).

Spine darkened and lightly rubbed, but a very good copy
Description
Ludwell, Wilts: Chiswick Press, July 1899. First edition. One of 150 copies printed. Presentation copy from H. Buxton Forman to "Louis" with a long, two-page inscription on the pages following the title-page. Forman writes: "Of male friends in England, William Joseph Ibbett is he with whom I am most intimate. . . . It is a "a settled vanity" with him (& with me) that his best songs & poems will live: hence the present collection. The inscription is dated 21 August 1900. Following his inscription, Forman has transcribed a poem beginning "Far too generous are you, Ibbett! / For your genius - could I crib it, / Be assured that I would do so . . . Ibbett is to Forman / Just as craftsman is to stowman. / You, my Diddy, made the whole thing: / As for my part, why the sold thing / To support what you have hinted / Is - I've got it nicely printed / And, to end the stowman's mission, / I've disposed of the edition. / There's the truth: I dare not fib it / Even to justify my Ibbett." The poem is initialed "H.B.J" at the end and dated 13 September 1899. Spine darkened and lightly rubbed, but a very good copy. Small 8vo, original brown buckram. Spine darkened and lightly rubbed, but a very good copy.
