Description
1935. [Public Transit][Massachusetts] Trolley and railway car photograph archive documenting electric transit circulation across Boston and the Greater Boston Area, including Lynn, Haverhill, Lawrence, Saugus, Marblehead, Watertown in the 1930s. The archive records cars, trolley routes, terminals, and yards on the streets of Boston and surrounding cities during the long transition from privately run trolley networks to publicly managed metropolitan transit. Most images show the Boston Elevated Railway and Eastern Massachusetts Street Railway orbit, with additional views tied to Springfield, Providence, and Connecticut operations, placing the photographs within the broader interurban rail network that linked Boston to surrounding towns before the official creation of the MBTA. Boston's subway system is the oldest in the United States, created in the 1890s by the Rapid Transit Commission in response to severe streetcar congestion on Tremont Street. The system created by the Boston Elevated Railway Company at the turn of the century helped define the infrastructure of modern Boston transit. These photographs preserve the street-level operating environment in the early years of expanding public transport in the city: destination boards, transfer points, yard scenes, terminal loops, and rolling stock moving through dense commercial districts, snowbound streets, and residential outskirts prior to the establishment of the MBTA in 1947. Photo archive of 41 silver gelatin photographs, approximately 3 x 5.5 inches, greater Boston and nearby cities in New England, circa 1934-1946. The archive includes single-car and articulated streetcars, coupled cars, work or service equipment, and yard scenes photographed in active street settings. Visible destination and route identifiers include Main, Myrtle, Lakeside, Watertown, Boston, Tunnel, Beach Bluff, Saugus Branch, Essex St Lawrence, Main St line Haverhill, Oak Park line, and Marblehead Depot, with captions on verso marking dates and locations. Several photographs show cars in dense commercial blocks with visible storefronts and wall advertising, including American Loan & Savings Association, Whitworth's Rubber Sporting Goods, M. Casey & Co. Cigars & Tobacco, Coca-Cola, Pillsbury's Best Flour, Harms School of Business, and Rem for coughs; others show cars at depots, loops, and yards, including Hooker St Yards. Repeated fare and service slogans are also visible on the cars, especially "Save money with weekly pass" and "Ride all day for $1 20 cities, 51 towns," makes the archive particularly strong as evidence of regional transit marketing and network integration. Other images capture scenes of the train cars in the snow, at crossings, switching tracks, and running beside early automobiles, an active record of the trolley system functioning within everyday urban traffic. This archive preserves the operating network that fed a larger system of public transit across city neighborhoods and outlying towns serviced by America's oldest subway system. The photographs show the routes, terminal circulation, yard storage, and municipal reach of this system, especially in the Eastern Massachusetts territory where one fare structure and one rolling-stock family served dozens of communities. Light handling wear and some discoloration on verso, images clean and complete. Overall very good condition. A large visual record of the Greater Boston street railway service moving through city streets, suburbs, and terminals.

Description
(New York): Dell, 1970. Near fine.. Dell "Contemporary Classic" paperback edition of Baldwin's first novel, his semi-autobiographical "extended rite of exorcism" (Harris) - with new cover art by Leo and Diane Dillon. In writing this book, Baldwin did more than draw from his own experiences growing up with a religiously domineering father in 1930s Harlem: he wrote and re-wrote the work for ten years as a way to come to terms with the painful relationship with his father. In the novel as in Baldwin's own life, the hero's path to acceptance lies not in obedience and acceptance but in the intellectual liberation achieved through books and education. One of TIME's "Best English-Language Novels from 1923 to 2005," and an American classic. 7'' x 4.25''. Original color pictorial wrappers with uncredited art by Leo and Diane Dillon, Dell 3007, cover price 95c. All edges stained green. Publisher's ads at rear. 221, [3] pages. Trace edgewear. Leaves with light toning. Tight.
