South Atlanta, Georgia: The Faculty and Students of Clark University/Clark University Printing Department, 1900. Good. 8 ” x 5 ”. Stapled wrappers. Pp. 58 including 4 plates + publishing slip laid in. Good due to wrappers detached; internally very good with light foxing to a few leaves and two plates, some small chips at edges, offsetting to last page and light scattered spotting. This is a rare issue of an early publication out of Clark University, now Clark Atlanta, the first HBCU in the Southern United States. Clark College was founded in Atlanta in 1869 by the Methodist Episcopal Church as the nation's first four-year liberal arts college to serve Black students. Four years earlier, Atlanta University was established by the American Missionary Association with assistance from the Freedman's Bureau, becoming the first HBCU in the South; it was also the first in the country to award graduate degrees to African Americans. The two schools consolidated in 1988 to form Clark Atlanta University. The first recorded catalog of the school was published in 1891. This book is packed with data on Clark, listing trustees and officers of the board as well as faculty members and student instructors in “Mental, Moral, and Political Science,” “Latin and Greek Languages and Literature,” the normal school, grade school and more. It expounds on entrance requirements (being open to all students “regardless of sex or color, the sole conditions of admission being a desire to learn, good moral character, and obedience to lawfully constituted authority”), as well as fees, facilities and “literary societies.” There are detailed synopses of courses, academic clubs and labs in astronomy, biology, “Bible,” drawing and French. The “department of mechanics” offered “woodworking, blacksmithing, printing and shoemaking,” while “domestic economy,” housed in an “elegant and convenient edifice on the campus,” sought to “train young women not only in cooking, housekeeping, dressmaking, etc., but in Christian womanhood.” The book lists all enrollees, their year, department and hometown; while most were from Atlanta or the south, a few came from as far away as Chataqua, New York and Lagos, West Africa. It also records alumni dating back to 1879, noting those who became college presidents, school principals, teachers and postal workers. There is the 1900- 1901 calendar, with dates for holidays, exams, “Musical and Literary Entertainment,” and four lovely photographic plates show a few buildings on campus. A rare early publication from an important HBCU. No holdings were found in OCLC, which shows only a handful of other years' Catalogue Editions at Clark Atlanta and at Harvard.

Description
Brussels Jean Joseph Boucherie, [1759]. 8vo., full crushed burgundy morocco with a double gilt fillet border surrounding a narrow scalloped border. Spine with five raised bands and understated gilt decoration, title on a black morocco label; a.e.g. The bottom margin of the title has been cut away as has the bottom margin of D1; bookplate removed from the front pastedown. A curious and attractive BOOK OF HOURS displaying a number of different typefaces used in combination. For the most part, the type is a very legible script that takes on the appearance of handwriting. Interspersed for emphasis is a standard roman typeface of no special distinction; at the end, though, and in one place at the beginning the printer inserts a form of CIVILITÉ for several pages. The Litanies begin with a woodcut of Heaven, and there are numerous woodcut-decorated initial letters, headpieces and tailpieces. An altogether attractive 18th century book. NICELY BOUND, TYPOGRAPHICALLY INTERESTING

Description
Promotional handbill for That Boy, a groundbreaking gay adult film written, produced, directed by and starring Peter Berlin (pseudonym of Armin Hagen von Hoyningen-Huene, born 1942). The film was released in the brief period when Huene used the pseudonym Peter Burian, and first shown at the Nob Hill Cinema, a gay adult theater in San Francisco. Through his work as a photographer focusing on erotic self-portraiture, Huene went on to establish the Peter Berlin persona as one of the most distinctive cultural icons of the gay liberation era. Huene himself designed the handbill for "That Boy" and took the photograph of Peter Berlin which it reproduces.
