Description
Richmond, Va: Jefferson, 1907. Very Good. Approximately 10 x 14 cm. Cardstock on which it is mounted identifies (rather faintly) the photography studio as Jefferson, Richmond, Va, 627 Broad St. Upper right corner gone on cardstock mount which also has some old staining along some edges as well as moderate soiling. Photograph is clean and has nice detail. Jackson was born enslaved in Goochland County, Virginia. He was the first African American certified to practice law in Virginia in 1887. Jackson was involved in the National Negro Business League when it was organized by Booker T. Washington in 1900 and served as that organization's initial Vice President. Jackson was the moving force behind the Negro Building at the Jamestown Ter-Centennial Exposition in 1907. The photography studio (Jefferson) which took this photo was operated by James Conway Farley, an African American photographer who is now generally regarded as the first nationally recognized African American photographer. Farley relocated his studio to the 627 Broad St. address in 1907. 1907 (or maybe 1908) also works as the likely date for this photograph. Phil's recollection is that a similar, but not quite identical, photographic image of Jackson appears in "The Industrial History of the Negro Race of the United States" by Jackson and Daniel Webster Davis which was published in 1908. He suspects that both photos were taken by Farley at the same sitting.

Description
London and Cambridge: Macmillan and Co, 1866. Very good in publisher's gilt stamped red morocco cloth, recased with spines laid down, some staining to boards, bookplates in each volume and prior owner stamp/inscription in each, and blind stamp for "W H Smith & Son Library, 186 Strand" being Smith's short-lived lending library but without other indications of library ownership (Sadleir's copy had the same blind stamp).. First edition in book form, in publisher's cloth. Hereward was an enigmatic Anglo-Saxon landholder from Lincolnshire, who "was elevated by a historical novel written by Charles Kingsley . . . into one of the most romantic figures of English medieval history: an outlaw and national hero famous for his determined resistance to the Norman invaders of 1066, and a forerunner of the greatest outlaw of English popular mythology, Robin Hood." Dalton, The Outlaw Hereward the Wake (2009). It is even believed that Tolkien read Hereward and used several of its distinctive word choices in his own works. Gilliver, Marshall, Weiner, Tolkien and the Oxford English Dictionary (OUP 2006). 8vo. 2 vols. viii, 365pp., [1], [2, ads]; viii, 402pp., [2, ads]. Parrish, pg. 49-60. Sadleir 1338.
