Title: SLUITER, PAULA. Etching Signed
Author: SLUITER, PAULA
Seller: Schulson Autographs (United States)
Description: PAULA SLUITER. Enchanting Etching Signed of a fantastical bird, 8vo, 1968. The Dutch artist left a career as a nurse and teacher to study painting and etching. Her work, associated with Art Brut, is recognized for fantastical images primarily of nature. Our etching in neutral tones shows a large peacock like bird in profile standing with a small bird, perhaps its baby, in flight in the upper right corner. Signed and dated on the lower right border, "Paula Sluiter '68." The full measurement including border is 5 ¾ x 7 ½ with image measuring 4 3/8 x 6 ¼ . Overall condition is very good with slight soiling on border and mounting remnants on verso. A typed description, in Dutch, of her art by fellow Dutch artist Paul Citroen is included with the etching. Citroen was also art teacher and cofounder of the New Art Academy in Amsterdam. He writes: " Public Reading Room exhibits the graphic work of a very peculiar painter, who is not yet well known in Wassenaar. Paula Sluiter is a real artist who depicts a peaceful world, a world of wonder plants, wonder birds, wonder animals, of children, gnomes, and wonder people. She only started this very own work after she retired as a nurse and crafts teacher towards her 60th year ... I saw her first exhibition in the art circle in The Hague... and was immediately fascinated by the abundance of her fantasy and the authenticity, the genuineness the persuasiveness of her very spiritual, very sensitive work...her fantasy seems to be an inexhaustible... we end up in a fairy tale world and are happy and ...and we accept from her without question....".

Title: Varina Davis, Writing For Jefferson, States I Had Shipped To You From New York Some Books Which I Recollected You Desired To SeeGenl Winfield Scotts Book Was One Of Them & Buchanans Administration Was Another
Author: VARINA DAVIS
Seller: Stuart Lutz Historic Documents, Inc. (United States)
Description: JEFFERSON DAVIS (1808-1889). Davis was a Senator from Mississippi, Secretary of War and President of the Confederate States of America. VARINA DAVIS (1826-1906). The wife of Confederate President Jefferson Davis, Varina was a powerful partner for her husband. After the war, she helped him write his memoirs and, after his death, she carried on his memory.ALS. 3pg. 7 x 9. September 2, 1882. Beauvoir. An autograph letter signed Jefferson Davis but completely in the handwriting of his wife, Varina. Davis wrote to an unnamed correspondent: We have been an unusually long time without hearing from you, & that is not a case for the application of the maxim that no news is good news. Your friend Maggie has been very ill. Mrs. Davis went to Memphis to nurse her after seven weeks she became better & is here now with her children the sea air has I think improved her & I hope she will soon be well again. Minnie is well & does not complain of our solitude though the change is certainly a great one from the crowded boarding school in Germany. Mrs. Davis has not been as well for sometime past as when you last saw her. Of my own health I have nothing agreeable to say yet nothing alarming to report. I hope William is with you & that his companionship relieves the dull hours, if indeed you ever have such. I am always thankful that I had the opportunity to see you last year & long for a renewal of the pleasant & instructive conversations which cheered my days when with you. The flood of last spring seriously injured my planting prospects, but we still hope to make more than half a crop. Corn being an entire failure upon the cut worms which usually about in unplowed land. In the early part of May last I had shipped to you from New York some books which I recollected you desired to see. As I never advised you of the shipment I hope they were received & that you did not know to whom to make an acknowledgment. Genl Winfield Scotts book was one of them & Buchanans administration was another both bearing on some of Jere Blacks statements & touching questions about which you are specially informed. With the united love of our household. I am with regards to Williams if he is with you & to good Marie who I take it will never leave you, as ever Your devoted friend Jefferson Davis. The letter is on Beauvoir letterhead and the paper has light blue lines. Some of the purple ink is fainter than other parts, and the letter is in fine condition.

Title: Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society
Author: WIENER, Norbert
Seller: Heritage Book Shop, LLC (United States)
Description: Providence, Rhode Island: American Mathematical Society, 1966. WIENER, Norbert. Commemorative issue for mathematician Norbert Wiener, with a bibliography of his papers and a biography. With a photographic frontispiece portrait. Octavo (9 1/2 x 6 inches; 240 x 150 mm). [6]. 145, [1, blank] pp. Publisher's printed blue wrappers. Some light sunning to edges of wrappers and spine. Some minor wear and rubbing to spine. Overall very good. "This special issue of the Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society is dedicated to the memory of Norbert Wiener in recognition of his towering stature in American and world mathematics, his remarkable many-sided genius, and the originality and depth of his pioneering contributions to science." (From the preface). "Norbert Wiener, was a prominent American mathematician, philosopher, also known as the father of modern cybernetics... He was the first to theorize that intelligent behavior is the result of feedback mechanism, or the input-output reasoning theory used in development of AI." (history-computers dot com). "Wiener coined the word cybernetics from the Greek kybernetes ("steersman") and wrote Cybernetics-Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine (1948) and The Human Use of Human Beings (1950). In cybernetics he sought to discover the degree to which the human nervous system is a mechanized process as it carries stimuli to the brain-in other words, how much in a human is unconsciously a machine. The question led him to considering automation and how like a human a machine could become--could a machine assume human intellectual capabilities, and when could it exceed and replace a human?"

Title: The African American Presence in Riverside, California
Author: Clemons, Lulamae - ed
Seller: Peruse the Stacks (United States)
Description: Riverside, CA: The A to Z Printing Company, 2005. First edition. 4to, 147pp. Illustrated with black and white photos throughout. Gilt stamped red morocco, the binder's copy. Fine condition. The first book publication of the Riverside African American Historical Society, being a chronological overview of African American migration into Riverside beginning in 1893. Includes noteworthy events and figures from economics, politics, sports, education, etc., with many contributors writing for the publication. Dr. Lulamae Clemons (1917-2022) was a prominent civil rights leader and educator in the area, leading the Title IV School Desegregation Project in the 1960s. She was also instrumental in securing the Martin Luther King Jr. statue which now stands on the Main Street Pedestrian Mall in Riverside. This copy, from the binder Mel Kavin, is perhaps unique. OCLC cites a publication under the same title and with fewer pages, though being noted as an issue of the Journal of the Riverside African American Historical society from 2007-8. In any event, an important and recent history which does not seem to be readily available. .
