Description
Washington, (DC): Printed by Gideon and Co, 1850. First edition. 8vo. 64 pp. Bound with 11 other pamphlets. Somewhat later brown three-quarter law sheep (very rubbed, spine ends chipped) and marbled boards; joints and hinges repaired. Some of the pamphlets trimmed in binding, the Webster pamphlet very good, with the printed front wrapper bound in. First edition. Inscribed at the head of the front wrapper "Honble Moor Russell, Plymouth, / N. Hamp. / with the regards of / Daniel Webster." "[Webster] rose to beat down the Northern and the Southern follies, now raging in equal extremes … in a well considered speech he declared himself for Clay's compromise measures and poured oil on troubled waters … slavery was an evil but not so great an evil as disunion. There could be no peaceful secession, he informed the South. On the other hand, he condemned the unnecessary severity of the anti-slavery forces and admitted that Northerners had not lived up to their obligations to return fugitive slaves … to the conservative element of the country, Webster's performance seemed "Godlike"; but the anti-slavery men, including those of his own party, could see him only as a fallen star" (DAB). The other pamphlets include Elliott's Industrial Resources of Western Kansas and Eastern Colorado (St. Louis, 1871; lacks outer wrappers), but are otherwise rather uninteresting; a list of the titles will be sent upon request.

Description
New York: The Alliance Publishing Co, 1900. Very good.. 40pp. Original printed wrappers, stapled. Some discoloration along front wrapper, minor dust-soiling to wrappers. Thin dampstain along outer margin of first few leaves, otherwise internally clean. A rare report compiled by noted African-American educator, author, and businessman George Allen Mebane of North Carolina. Mebane prepared the work from a conference of white men who assembled in Alabama to discuss race relations at the turn of the 20th century. The conference attendees seemed to minimize African-American achievements, including declining illiteracy, growth in the number of Black professionals, and the increase in property ownership, and actually calls for a repeal of the 15th Amendment. Another of the more extreme suggestions at this conference, meant to deal with the "problem between the races," was deportation of African Americans, no matter the cost. Following the account of the conference are a selection of articles extracted from the northern press, which present a decidedly different perspective on the issue; one of the articles was written by noted Black journalist John Edward Bruce, otherwise known as "Bruce Grit." Mebane compiled the present work for the National Afro-American Council, a precursor to the NAACP. The NAAC was one of the first nationally-organized civil rights organizations to last a significant amount of time, founded in 1898 in Rochester, New York and lasting for almost a decade. The council was motivated into existence due to increased violence against African Americans in the south and continued efforts at their disenfranchisement in the last decade of the 19th century. Prominent African Americans such as Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. DuBois, William Monroe Trotter, and Archibald Grimke, among others, would join the NAAC or serve as officers in the group during its lifetime. OCLC records just four physical copies of the work, at Connecticut State Library, Yale, East Carolina University, and the Birmingham-Jefferson Public Library.

Los Alamitos, Calif: Bruce of Los Angeles, 1960. Very good. 11” x 8½”. 18 single sheet flyers (including one duplicate), each printed both sides. Generally very good or better: creased at old folds; a bit of light corner wear or toning to edges; two with a modest colored pencil scrawl and two with hand-amended prices. This is a rare group of promotional flyers for photographs of male models, issued by the noted pioneer of beefcake photography, Bruce of Los Angeles. Bruce Bellas quit his job as a Nebraska chemistry teacher and headed to Los Angeles in the late 1940s to become a professional photographer. He quickly rose to the top, photographing the muscle men of Venice Beach and other local beefcakes in classically composed scenes that elicited all the glitz and glamour of Hollywood. He launched his Male Figure magazine in 1956, and two years later relocated to the suburb of Los Alamitos, setting up a studio in his garage. These fabulous flyers advertise issues of Male Figure, along with catalogs and individual photographs of impeccably-built men, with price lists, brief descriptions and ordering instructions. There are short bios and small shots of dozens of male models, some of whom enjoyed modest fame, such as Jim Pappa, “former husband of Carole Tregoff of the Dr. Finch murder case” (and a “beautiful hunk of man”), professional boxer John Knight and a slew of college athletes. One series, “Cowboys of the West,” starred United States Marines or Navy men “whose background is the ranch or rodeo,” and another promoted a “Mardi Gras Fantasy” with shots of the “gay exciting costumes” at “Carnival Day in New Orleans.” A few flyers shared where the shoots took place (“studio,” “farm,” “desert” or “at home”) and some gave the men's nationality, age, height, and weight. Pricing data is comprehensive, and a few manuscript notations reveal Bruce's increased costs. All flyers list the Los Alamitos address (save one, with the Los Angeles address scratched out), and a few reference the years 1959 and '60, allowing for our date attribution. Rare promotional material for fantastic photographs of captivating men. No holdings of any of these flyers were located in OCLC.
