Title: [Collection of Real Photo Postcards, Photographs, and Printed Pictorial Postcards Relating to the Missionary Teaching Work of Lula Jackson, Featuring Subjects in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Mexico]
Author: [Missionaries]. Jackson, Lula
Seller: McBride Rare Books (United States)
Condition: Very good.
Description: [Various locations in Guatemala and Mexico, 1923. Very good.. 145 real photo postcards, photographs, and printed pictorial postcards, thirty-eight with manuscript notes on verso. Minor wear overall. A wonderful collection of images featuring the people and places involved with the educational missionary work of Lula Maud Jackson (later Tolosa) of Birmingham, Michigan. Jackson was a Baptist missionary teacher at schools in El Salvador, Cuba, Mexico, and Guatemala before returning to Michigan in the early-1920s. Not long after her return, Lula married an El Salvadorian minister named Ramon Alberto Tolosa in Michigan on June 26, 1923; apparently Tolosa moved to Michigan to be with Lula, and thereafter established the First Mexican Baptist Church in Saginaw, where he remained as pastor until his retirement in 1975. The present collection of photographs feature numerous people and places Jackson knew during her time in Latin America. The collection contains a few photographs that appear to include Jackson, but the great majority show various native settings and subjects, including the children she was teaching, pictured in class group shots. Most are not captioned, but many of these images are dated in 1921. The images feature students at play, fruit vendors carrying large baskets, churches and other buildings, and more. Almost forty of the images, however, which are mostly portrait postcards or photographs, include inscriptions to Lula on the verso from the numerous named subjects. All of the captions are written in Spanish. Seventeen of these identify various subjects in Mexico by name, including multiple members of the same family in one case. One postcard is covered completely on the verso with the musical notation and lyrics of a song called "Ven a El pecador!" Two of these postcards were actually postmarked to Lula in Cuba while she was there in 1916 and 1919. Eighteen of these annotated real photo postcards were sent to Lula by her soon-to-be husband Ramon Tolosa, all but one in either May or early June, 1923 before the couple married later in June of that year. At the time, Ramon was working in Tampico, Mexico, from where he sent all of these postcards. The postcards are not postmarked, indicating Ramon may have sent them inside other letters; plus, the captions contain straightforward descriptions of the subjects and settings of the postcards, and not the personal correspondence that might be expected from two people about to be married. All in all, a diverse and personal collection of images of Mexico kept by a missionary teacher from Michigan to memorialize her earlier work there, offering several avenues for further research.

Condition: Very good.
Description: New York: Tibor De Nagy Gallery, 1954. First Edition. Very good.. Sixth issue of this "poets' newsletter" edited by Myers and published by his gallery, Tibor De Nagy. Contributors include Tennesee Williams, W.H. Auden, Kenneth Koch, and James Laughlin. Tibor De Nagy Gallery was in many ways ground zero not just for the abstract expressionist movement but for the first generation New York School as well. The gallery published early books from Frank O'Hara, John Ashbery, Kenneth Koch, James Schuyler, and Barbara Guest and encouraged collaborations between them and the painter the gallery represented. SEMI-COLON, which ran ten issues, served as something of a semi-private mode of communication between these New York writers, not unlike the way FLOATING BEAR would a decade later. The dates of these newsletters are somewhat in dispute. Clay and Phillips date the first issue to 1950, but Tibor De Nagy was not founded until the following year. O'Hara's and Ashbery's bibliographers both suggest "[1955?]" for Vol. 1, No. 1. Most likely correct, however, are the dates 1953-ca. 1956 provided by the inventory and catalogue of the Myers' archive (on deposit at the Smithsonian Museum of American Art), and our date follows their lead. Issues, especially early ones, are scarce. Wraps. 4to. 8.5" x 11". Single sheet folded once to make four pages. Very good. Trace soil, handling wear; tiny tear to one edge. Else sound.

Description: Producers Distribution Corp.. No binding. About Fine. Los Angeles, CA [ca. 1925]. Vintage original 7 x 9 1/2" (17 x 22 cm.) single weight borderless glossy silver gelatin photo. Shows slight corner wear, there are neat later pencil notes about her work on the verso and the ink stamp of Producers Distribution Corporation. About fine. Frances Marion is perhaps the most prolific of screenwriters and definitely one of the finest. She was given great leeway and even respect during a time in film history dominated by male writers. Credited and uncredited, she worked on hundreds of films, prominently during the 1920s. The first female writer to win an Academy Award, she would do so for 1930's THE BIG HOUSE and 1931's THE CHAMP.

Title: (Anti-Japanese WWII-era poster) The Japs are killing Alaska's fish industry
Author: Anonymous
Seller: Burnside Rare Books, ABAA (United States)
Condition: Good
Description: Portland, OR: Np, 1942. Good. Original 10 3/4" x 14" poster printed in orange and black on cardboard with a racist caricature of Japanese Prime Minister Hideki Tojo stabbing a salmon. Text reads in its entirety: "The Japs are killing Alaska's fish industry / vote 311 X no against this infamous proposition / closing Oregon's coastal streams will kill Oregon's salmon industry / our boys in service need every case of salmon Oregon can produce!" Good with five small holes and a creased scrape, crease down middle from being mounted on a stick either for picketing or as a yard sign, verso toned and soiled. Colors still very bright. A rare political sign opposed to The Oregon Prohibition of Net Fishing on Coastal Waters Bill, also known as Measure 6, with striking graphics, typically anti-Japanese in the wake of Pearl Harbor and America's entry into WWII; although a cursory contemporary glance at the bill makes any connection to Japan highly dubious. "The measure would have prohibited all net fishing in coastal streams and bays, except those exempted," according to Ballotpedia. It was soundly defeated.
