She was a member of the circle which included Pablo Picasso and other cubists, and is known as one of the few female Cubist painters (n.b., above info from Wiki).

Los Angeles, California, 1985. 131 photos measuring 3 ½ x 5 inches with fourteen pieces of ephemera, in a photo album. Near Fine.. A photo album documenting West Hollywood’s 1985 Pride parade. Eighty-seven photos are of the parade and forty-four are of the photographer’s trip to Ventura with, presumably, her girlfriend. Marchers include feminist lawyer Gloria Allred, The Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles, Gay Vietnamese of Southern California, actress and HIV/AIDS advocate Judith Light, and drag queen mayoral candidate Kitty Cole. There is also one shot of protestors with signs such as “Repent Arrogant Sinners God’s Judgment and Hell are Coming”. The Times estimated about 8,000 marchers and 50,000 to 150,000 “well-mannered spectators”.[1] The album also contains a small collection of ephemera, including an admission ticket to the parade, flyers for the “Girls Club” dating service and Papi’s Escandalo club, a condom from The AIDS Project of Greater Los Angeles, and various other events, publications, and so on. 1895 was the twenty-fifth anniversary of Pride in the LA area. The first LA Pride was held on Hollywood Boulevard in 1970, and commemorated the previous year’s Stonewall riot in New York City. The parade moved to West Hollywood, now a notable LGBTQ neighborhood, in 1979.[2] [1] Daryl Kelley, “Thousands Turn Out for Festive Gay Pride Parade,” Los Angeles Times, Metro, June 24, 1985, 1–2.

[Washington?, 1870. Caption title, as issued. 40pp. Text clean, bound in modern plain wrappers. Very Good. Signed in type at the end by B. H. Bristow, Solicitor General of the United States. This case demonstrates the Supreme Court's grudging recognition of -- indeed, its reluctance to implement -- the Reconstruction Congress's efforts to provide black citizens with equal treatment under the law. Blyew and Kennard, adult "white persons," were convicted in a Kentucky federal court for having murdered Lucy Armstrong, an elderly "citizen of the United States of America, of the African race." The case was open-and-shut, the murder having been witnessed by several American citizens "of the African race." They heard Kennard declare, "in presence of Blyew, 'that he [Kennard] thought there would soon be another war about the niggers; that when it did come, he intended to go to killing niggers, and he was not sure that he would not begin his work of killing them before the war should actually commence'." Under the Civil Rights Act of 1866, the seminal Reconstruction statute and the predecessor of the Fourteenth Amendment, trial occurred in a federal rather than in a Kentucky State Court: Under State law, "colored persons were denied the right to 'give evidence' against white persons." This, the United States argued, was sufficient to bring the case into a federal court, where the entire case could be heard, with witnesses regardless of race. Astonishingly, the Supreme Court disagreed. Its opinion is recorded at 80 U. S. 581 [1871].

Illustrated by Samuel Hanks Bryant. The novel was adapted for the stage in 1948; this copy is warmly inscribed by seven members of the original Broadway cast to fellow cast member Harvey Lembeck, who played the character of Insigna in over a thousand performances from 1948 to 1951. The hit production received Tony Awards for Best Play, Best Performance by a Leading Actor (Henry Fonda), Best Producer, Best Author, and Best Director. It also received a Theatre World Award for the performance of Ralph Meeker, whose friendly inscription ("Luck to a wonderful actor, and room-mate") can be found in this copy. Thomas Heggen wrote Mister Roberts based on his experiences on a US Navy cargo ship in the South West Pacific theater during World War II. The novel was subsequently adapted into films in 1955 and 1984 and into a television series that ran from 1965-1966. Heggen died just a year after the play was first staged; Mister Roberts was his only major publication. Inscriptions: Robert Baines (who played the role of Wiley), Steven Hill (Stefanowski), Karl Lukas (Lindstrom), Casey Walters (Dolan), Ralph Meeker (Mannion), Rusty Lane (Chief Johnson), and Joe Marr (Dowdy).

Description
Grosset & Dunlap, 1926. Hardcover. Near fine/Near Fine. Hoskins Gayle; Hoffman Frank. Full green cloth boards lettered in dark green, under Gayle Hoskins illustrated dust jacket, 7-3/4" x 5-1/4". Gift inscription dated 1930; dust jacket has a tiny chip to bottom of front panel but is generally spectacular. Last Zane Grey novel on the rear of the jacket is 1925, so between that and the gift inscription, we have a 5-year time frame of publication. A beautiful copy all around. Kazan was one of Curwood's most popular books...and considering that over 150 movies have been made by his books or stories, that's really saying something!
