Description
N.p.: N.p., 1966. Archive of photographs, newspaper clippings, and various ephemera belonging to a Kenny Aumont Brown (1943-2016), of Burlington, North Carolina, largely relating to automobiles and automobile accidents, 1963-1966. The archive, assembled by Brown when in his early twenties, documents his preoccupation with automobiles, automobile accidents, and racing, at a time when Brown was first employed as a tow truck driver for Cobb Motor Company, and later as part of a rescue unit (as seen in one of the newspaper clippings). In his later years, Brown would serve as an Alamance County Deputy Sheriff for 34 years. A copious and insightful vernacular documentation of the relationship of southern culture and automobiles in the early to mid 1960s. The archive contains 37 standard size black and white photographs, one 8 x 10 inch black and white photograph, four color photographs, 25 newspaper clippings, two newspaper issues, and twelve various documents, all housed in a photo album. The archive contains annotations throughout, in white marker on the black leaves of the photo album, and frequently in pen or pencil on the margins of articles and photographs. The photographs in the archive include shots of Cobb Motor Company vehicles and shop, including a circa 1930s photograph of a 1930s Cobb vehicle laid in, various crashed vehicles, with annotations including location and fatalities, wrecked NASCAR vehicles (one page including the annotations of "Petty Plymouth's 1962" and "Car witch (sic) almost killed Lee Perry"), three of local drag races, and several of friends and family vehicles, including Brown's own cherished 1949 Plymouth, which he identifies as "My Own True Love KAB." Many of the photographs include developer dates stamped into the margin which range from 1958, 1960, 1962, and 1965. The newspaper clippings in the archive date from 1963 to 1966, with the majority about local automobile accidents, but also feature articles on NASCAR accidents and fatalities (Joe Weatherly), illegal racing, a transportation shop fire, a murder suicide, and an Alamance plane crash which killed three, which is included in two clippings as well as a full issue of the Daily Times News. As well as the photographs and newspaper clippings, the archive includes various personal effects which include Brown's driver's license, two car registrations belonging to his mother, Cathera Garner Brown, a 1962 Dion and Sam Cook concert ticket, and a letter from the North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles warning Brown his license is in danger of suspension from speeding violations (with an adjacent "Nasty Letter" annotation). Also included are much older family artifacts including a 1914 postcard receipt from Burlington Coffin Company, a 1917 postcard receipt from Piedmont Railway and Electric, and a 1919 receipt from Souther Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company, all belonging to a presumed grandfather, W.L. Burke, of Burlington. On the first leaf of the album is Brown's name, dated "Dec. 1963," and his initials in bold Gothic calligraphy in white. On the verso of the first leaf is a Sunday, May 19, 1963 newspaper clipping of an accident featuring a strikingly disturbing photograph of a man hanging from a telephone pole upon which his body was thrown, his car burning below him, with the adjacent annotation "Will They Ever Learn." The photograph in the clipping is of note as it was the image appropriated by Andy Warhol for his 1963 painting "Green Car Crash (Green Burning Car I)," one of the most celebrated paintings of his early "Death and Disaster" series. Photo album with string binding, 12.5 x 8.75 inches. Very Good plus. Photographs, Newspaper clippings, and ephemera Very Good overall, with a few clippings laid in, and ten of the photographs loose from the original tape mounting, many with faint soil, tape shadows, and light creasing.

Description
Hudson (New York): Harry Croswell, 1804. Hardcover. Good. Volume III for 1804, with 52 issues of this weekly newspaper. Contemporary binding in quarter leather with paste-paper boards. The free endpapers have perished, as well as the paper covering to the boards. The paper is soft and spotted reflecting its poor quality. Number 8 lacks the final six pages; Nos. 37 and 38 each lack the final 2 pages, and No. 41 lacks the final four pages. An article in No. 49 at page 391 has been excised, as well as a signature on the title page. This is otherwise a complete issue of Volume III. In 1804 Jefferson was President, and his Address to Congress is included. There are references to the Louisiana Purchase, and the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Alexander Hamilton met his death in a duel with Aaron Burr in that year, and not only is his Funeral Oration by Governeur Morris published, but also Hamilton's letters to Burr on the night before his death. Anti-slavery sentiment is obvious in many articles, including reports on the abolition of slavery in Santo Domingo and a poem lamenting that the only freedom from slavery is death. The last issue for April contains the 'Song' by Robert Burns on the Pretender, Bonnie Prince Charlie, which may be the first American printing of the complete four stanzas. Two stanzas were previously published in Georgia ca. 1799 as 'Chaveliers' Lament', and the complete poem was issued with significant differences in 1799 in Scotland under the title 'Soliloquy'. It was not published before Burns died in 1796. This is apparently the editor's copy with his signature on the title page along with that of Aaron Reed. Rare. OCLC finds only two issues of the 1804 volume in one library. .

[Chicago]: Time, Inc, 1965 July 30, 1965. Volume 59, No. 5. First edition. Signed by Mantle in blue marker on front wrapper: "Mickey Mantle / No. 7". Additionally signed "#7" on p. 49 on a photo of Mantle, presumably by Mantle. Publisher's wrappers, with "Mantle's Misery" heading and close-up photo of Mantle attributed to John Dominis to front wrapper, Life logo to top left of front wrapper, lettered in white. Near fine, with light edgewear to front wrapper, former owner's address label to front wrapper, and light toning to pages. Overall, a boldly signed copy. This July 30, 1965 issue of Life highlights Mickey Mantle and his physical struggles as he nears the end of his career. The featured article, written by John R. McDermott, is titled "Last Innings of Greatness" (pp. 46 - 53). Facing the first page of the article is a powerful full-page photo of Mantle throwing away his helmet in disappointment. Some other articles featured in this issue are "J.F.K., Dean Rusk and State Department," "Crisis in Greece," "Duty Overrules Justice Goldberg," and "Shirley Temple's Debutante Daughter." FROM B&B: Mickey Mantle played his entire eighteen-year career with the New York Yankees, alongside other legendary players like Yogi Berra, Joe DiMaggio, and Whitey Ford. Plagued by injuries throughout much of his career, Mantle nevertheless became an all-time great, winning three MVP awards (1956, 1957, 1962) and the Triple Crown in 1956. He also helped power the Yankees to seven World Series titles. Mantle was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1974 and was selected for the prestigious All-Century Team in 1999. . Signed. First Edition. Magazine. Near Fine.
