Description
N.p.: N.p., 1970. Collection of twelve vintage oversize double weight photographs, eleven vintage contact sheets, and six vintage photographs taken by noted fashion photographer Ara Gallant. Photographer's stamp on the versos. Gallant began his career in high fashion as a hairstylist for Vogue in the early 1960s, becoming the first stylist to be paid solely to style hair by a magazine. He was best known for perfecting the "flying hair" technique, most memorably captured on a portrait of Twiggy in 1968. During his tenure at Vogue he worked with a number of prominent photographers, including Richard Avedon and Irving Penn, and his work was featured on 26 Vogue covers in total. Gallant would begin working as a photographer in the 1970s, succeeding Sari Marks as staff photographer for the fashion magazine Ambiance. Gallant became well known around New York for his personal style as much as his photographs, sporting all black from head to toe, wearing high heeled cowboy boots and a Japanese schoolboy hat, lining his eyes with black kohl, and frequenting Andy Warhol's Studio 54. By the 1980s drug use and financial troubles would force Gallant to sell his apartment in the West End, relocating to Los Angeles, where he would pursue an ultimately unsuccessful career in the film industry. The photographs in the collection, taken throughout the 1970s, feature a who's who of contemporary celebrities, and are shot in Gallant's typically fantastical and glamorous style, with an androgynous bent, and, of course, distinctive hair. Gallant would enjoy a period of renewed interest after a collection of his styling and photographic work was published by Damiani in 2010, edited by David Wills. Photographs ranging from 6.25 x 7.75 inches to 11 x 14 inches. Near Fine to Very Good plus.

Description
Boston: Stimpson & Clapp, 1832. pp [1]-72, 41-43, [1 blank]. Disbound, widely scattered foxing. Ink signature, "Seth Williams" on title page. Good+. OCLC records two different printings in 1832 from Stimpson & Clapp, of 75 pages and (40, 9-43) pages. In this copy, the text reads appropriately; evidently the printer combined sheets from the two printings to make a complete pamphlet. The Convention endorses the Clay-Sergeant ticket for the race against Andrew Jackson, and denounces "the imbecility of the existing Administration...which substitutes its own will for the law of the land." Proceedings are reported, Electors are listed. The Convention's 'Address to the People of Massachusetts' and Daniel Webster's speech to the Convention are printed. Sabin 36741. Not in Wise & Cronin.

William Jay (1789-1858), the son of John Jay, was founder of American Bible Society, a member of the American Antislavery Society, whose constitution he drafted, and president of the Peace Society. Like Wilberforce, he opposed the plan to colonize the former slaves in Africa, declaring that those who favored the plan were not moved by 'the precepts of gospel,' but by 'prejudice against an unhappy portion of the human family', (DAB, X, p. 11-12.) Clay's Compromise did not pass. It took Stephen Douglas and Daniel Webster to finally get a compromise bill through. Not in LCP. Afro-Americana, Dumond, Blockson. Sabin 35867n.
