Description
Topeka, 1930. Folded map measuring 28 x 17 inches. Some small tears at folds, very good. Very Good. A scarce depression-era map of Oklahoma, with graphic advertisements to the verso showing the range of automobile-centric establishments in the state at the time. The map shows all the automobile routes of the time, with text along the borders listing the towns and the telephone numbers of various services and lodging options. The instructions on the the top read “Put Out Your Fires / Leave a Clean Camp / Keep the Streams Pure / Don’t Be a Road Hog.” According to the single copy in OCLC, at the Denver Public Library, the map was printed in 1930, though we see no date on the map itself. The depression hit Oklahoma following the drought in 1930, which also coincided with the opening of the East Texas oil field. This map is a relic of the period just before the state’s economic downturn, with the early automobile infrastructure still intact and vibrant.

Tipped-in, printed card with a manuscript note - "With compliments" - of Nikolai Tarassov, Deputy Representative of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in the United States. Originally created in 1820, Pushkin's poem was written as an epic fairy tale in six cantos and told the story of Princess Ludmila, her abduction by an evil wizard, and knight Ruslan's quest to rescue her. The Palekh style of painting, known for its delicate, intricate lines and abundance of gilt, was based on ancient icon painting and first appeared in the village of Palekh, in the form of decorations for miniature, black, lacquered boxes.

Oakland and Berkeley: Oakland Museum and University of California Press, 1999 Book. Fine. Soft cover. Softcover. Quarto. xi, 355pp. Profusely illustrated throughout. Notes, appendices, illustrations sources, bibliography and index. Stiff wrappers. A very fine copy. This excellent and very readable work carries the story of the California Gold Rush from 1849 through the decades of the 1860's and '70's and on to the climactic year of 1884 in which hydraulic mining operations were shut down. Holliday provides a rich interpretive narrative whose central theme is how, after decades of careless freedom, the miners were finally reined in by the farmers, which ultimately led to the dramatic courtroom decision to shut down hydraulic mining operations. A handsome book..
