Description
Rotterdam: Squat Theatre, 1977. Poster. 16x24 inch poster announcing performances at the group's trademark storefront theatre; pinholes at corners. The play, partly based on Fyodor Dostoevsky's "Demons," partly inspired by classic American gangster films, was performed near the front windows while the audience sat at the back, so that their gaze drew in not only the performers but whatever action was happening on the street outside.

2006. ISBN-13: 9781584776284; ISBN-10: 1584776285. New reprint of the Scarce 1863 edition Willis, William. A History of the Law, The Courts, and The Lawyers of Maine, From Its First Colonization to the Early Part of the Present Century. Portland, Bailey & Noyes, 1863. iv, [ii], [v]-viii, [2], [9]-712 pp. Reprinted 2006 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584776284. ISBN-10: 1584776285. Hardcover. New. $95. * Early histories by local lawyers, such as this one, are often quite valuable because they were written by people who were steeped in local traditions and had access to practitioners of the preceding generation, who were invaluable sources of fact and anecdote about their generation and the generation that preceded them. Written during the early 1860s, this book draws on interviews with people who practiced before Maine was a state and could recall anecdotes from the colonial period. Along with historical chapters and biographical sketches of such lawyers as Simon Greenleaf and William B. Sewall, the book has information about "social usages of the bar," popular law books and how lawyers from other colonies were treated.
