Description
New York: McMillen Inc, 1941. First Edition. First edition. 4 pp. Bound in publisher's blue wraps lettered in brown. Good+ with vertical fold, light toning and small stains on front and rear covers. An incredibly scarce piece of African American memorabilia featuring the works of artists of the Harlem Renaissance. This was the first commercial exhibition of modern Black art in New York City and was announced in The New York Times, "most of the artists have earned their living as janitors, elevator operators and domestics, though some have college degrees." The most prominent artist featured was Romare Bearden, his first exhibition outside of Harlem, with two paintings The Visitation and Woman Picking Cotton. The venue for the exhibition was held at McMillen, an interior design firm that remains in business to this day, whose wealthy clients included Henry Ford, William Paley and socialite Doris Duke.

Description
Unpaginated. 8vo, pink printed wrappers, staple-bound. Springfield, MA: 1981. Scarce exhibition catalogue of artists’ books. The show was organized by guest curator Carol Forget and assistant curator Brendan Stecchini. 246 books listed (plus some “late entries”). From Forget’s Introduction: “An artist’s book like any other artwork is a result of a concern. It is a merging of ideas or of one single idea and some kind of technology into an intimate, accessible form…An overwhelming number of artists’ books are self-published and self-distributed, and because of this, there is a great deal of freedom regarding subject matter and presentation…The purpose of this exhibition is to show a broad survey of selected contemporary artists’ books and to further this art form, which in the past decade has grown in terms of involvement and attention given to it. It is my hope that the books in this exhibition will be ‘read’ and enjoyed.” Near fine. Three copies in WorldCat.

N,P, 1940. Very good. 9 7/8” x 6 7/8”. String-tied portfolio, thin card wrappers with 7 linen-backed B&W photographs measuring 9 3/8” x 6” and 7 thin leaves of typescript captions, rectos only. Pp. [14] + two duplicate photos laid in. Very good: wrappers chipped in a few spots with two small tears; edgewear to blank endpaper leaves; first photo a bit scuffed; light spotting to versos. This is an unusual survival, a handmade identification book revealing the proper tying of knots. The book holds seven photographs of ropes maneuvered into knots and hitches, braids and bands, 100 different ties in all. There are numbers placed next to each knot in the photos, and a corresponding identification list follows each shot. The work ranges from the seemingly simple to the confoundingly complex, including the recognizable “Hangman's knot” as well as names like “Monkey fist,” “Turks head,” “Spanish crown,” the “Mexican cowboy knot” and the “Tapered lariat splice.” Duplicates of the last two photos in the book were laid in at the rear. In our attempt to pinpoint the origins of this book, we found a YouTube clip of a United States Navy instructional video, “Useful Knots,” made during World War II. We imagine that the book may have been created with a similar purpose, but that is purely conjecture. In any case, a nice collection of photographs of impressive (and useful) knots.
