Description
Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, California, and others: McLain’s Photo Service, Bona Fide Photo Service, et al., 1950. Eleven individual photographs with one duplicate, measuring 8 x 10 inches. Slightly curled with wrinkling and some folds and tears; overall very good plus.. Eleven photographs showing NAACP activities in and around Los Angeles in the early 1950s. Most are uncaptioned; the one captioned photograph shows the organizers of a 1952 NAACP rally organized in collaboration with the AFL, CIO, and American Jewish Committee protesting the murder of Florida Civil Rights activists Harry and Harriet Moore. The couple were killed in their home, likely by the Klan, though no arrests were made and the case was closed in 2011. Other photographs include a mixed race group standing outside of the Carillo Auditorium (likely in Santa Barbara) holding folders with “Win With Stevenson” stickers on them, which was the campaign slogan for Democratic presidential nominee Adlai Stevenson. Stevenson ran for president in 1952 and 1956, losing both times to Eisenhower. In another photo, a group stands around a desk holding papers that read “The NAACP Condemns So-Called ‘Right to Work’ Laws”, likely concerning 1958 California Proposition 18, a right to work ballot measure. In a photo likely from the early 1950s, a young man holds a flyer reading “UAW-CIO OUTLAWS DISCRIMINATION”, concerning the adoption of International Constitution Article 25, which created the organization’s Fair Practices and Anti-Discrimination Department. Other photographs that are more difficult to identify include a group holding a large key, a man being presented with a shovel (likely for a groundbreaking ceremony), a young man standing at a church lectern, and a group of men standing with clothing and canned goods, probably for a charity drive. Of interest to historians of NAACP activities in California during the early Civil Rights era.

Description
[Cuernavaca]: [Printed by "El Barretero"], 2000. Sewn binding. Fine. Hutchins, Edward. Oblong 32mo size, 32 pp., in both Spanish and English, signed by Edward H. Hutchins and Steve R. Warner, with two hand-coloured illustrations. Book Artist Edward H. Hutchins believes that: everyone has a story to tell; that the best books are not mass-produced; and that when one let's one's imagination soar, the most amazing creations are possible utilizing, often, fairly inexpensive materials. Thus was born - Guerilla Bookmaking. Ed Hutchins has produced at least over eighty books between the years 1968 and 2005 (perhaps more - gleaned from several sources). Always creative and frequently carrying a social justice message, Ed's books charm and delight. His own web site offers a few books which are still in print; this volume relates, in Spanish (with the English translation following) a short story based on a factual happening; Ed and Steve were in Mexico for a year, and having been there only one week, a scorpion did fall from the ceiling on Ed, stinging him. As Ed shared with us: "I ended up considering how the encounter played out from the scorpion's point of view, and "Amor en el techo" was born"; this work now out of print, and we are pleased to offer it here. ___DESCRIPTION: Aubergine cardstock covers with a single-stitched binding which holds together the two sections of the book, Spanish first followed by the English translation, with the two hand-coloured illustrations (of "Julio" and "Luisa") on the stub page in between the two sections, signed in purple ink by Ed Hutchins and Steve Warren on the colophon page; oblong 32mo size (4.25" by 3.75"), unpaginated with eight leaves in each section, plus the two illustrations, thirty-two printed pages. ___CONDITION: Fine, clean throughout, straight corners without rubbing, the binding strong, and entirely free of prior owner markings; crisp and as new. ___POSTAGE: International customers, please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB, and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
