Description
Frederick, MD: October 2, 1818. [1]p., docketed on verso. Roughly torn along bottom edge, minor foxing and spotting. Good condition. An uncommon document in Maryland slave history, in which George Baer, the future mayor of Frederick, and a few other men attest that another local citizen named Robert Lyles is not a slave trader. The document reads, in part: "[Lyles] is on his way to your house to purchase a family of negroes. We have known Mr. Lyles many years and have never heard of his Trafficking in Slaves, nor do we believe that in this instance he has any other view, but to purchase them for his own use." Baer served as mayor of Frederick from 1820 to 1823; his correspondent, "C. Burney" is perhaps Clotworthy Birney (1765-1845), a farmer and real estate trader living near Taney Town. An unusual Maryland slave document concerning a slave owner who just wants to buy slaves for his own use, not traffic in them, because that's somehow better.

Description
Atlanta: Turner Publishing, Inc.. Fine in Near Fine dj. First American Edition. Hardcover. [a lovely copy, no discernible wear to book; the jacket has some very slight wear along the top edge and a bit of scuffing to the rear panel, but still presents beautifully in a new mylar cover]. (color/B&W illustrations and photos) Nicely-produced and lavishly-illustrated survey of the great animation director's most creative period, during which he made many of the cartoons for which he is best remembered today: RED HOT RIDING HOOD, BAD LUCK BLACKIE, KING-SIZE CANARY, DRAG-A-LONG DROOPY, and many others. The Foreword and Introduction are by two of Avery's contemporaries, William Hanna and Chuck Jones, respectively. ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this heavy oversize book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.
