Title: RADICAL MEMBERS OF THE SO. CA. LEGISLATURE
Author: [Reconstruction in South Carolina]
Seller: David M. Lesser, Fine Antiquarian Books LLC (United States)
Description: [Columbia, SC?, 1868. Carte-de-visite, mounted on card stock, 2.5" x 4". Composite photographs of white and black members of South Carolina's Reconstruction legislature. Verso identifies each legislator. Very Good plus. "Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1868, by J.C. Gibbes, in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of South Carolina." Reconstruction gave South Carolina freedmen the vote. Carolina's blacks far outnumbered the whites; their votes established a new State Constitution in 1868, which called for elections that year. Readmitted to the Union on June 25, 1868, South Carolina was the only State Legislature with a black majority in its lower house. This image was "[c]reated to frighten the white population" [Princeton's online discussion of the print]. At the center of the picture are Lieut. Gov. Boozer and Franklin J. Moses, Jr., Adjutant and Inspector General, both white, surrounded by mostly black men. Around Boozer's head are the words: "President Lieut. Gov. Boozer, 40 Acres and a Mule..." Around Moses' head appears: "Judas Moses who raised the Confederate Flag at Fort Sumter." The faces surrounding Boozer and Moses include African-American men such as Joseph Rainey, born into slavery and the first African-American to serve in the United States House of Representatives; Jonathan J. Wright, South Carolina's first African-American attorney and later Associate Justice of the South Carolina Supreme Court; Henry E. Hayne, the first African-American student at the University of South Carolina and later Secretary of the State; and numerous delegates to the 1868 South Carolina convention. On the verso are printed the surnames and location of each of the sixty-two members shown, including: Barton, Boozer, Boston, Bozeman, Brodie, Cain, Carmand, Chesnut, Cook, Demars, Dickson, Duncan, Dusenberry, Farr, Gardner, Harris, Hayes, Hayne, Henderson, Howell, Hoyt, Hudson, Hyde, Jackson, James, Jillson, Johnston, Lee, Lomax, Martin, Maxwell, Mayes, McDaniel, McKinlay, Meade, Mickery, Miller, Miteford, Mobley, Moses, Nash, Nuckles, Perrin, Pettengill, Rainey, Randolph, Rivers, Sanders, Shrewsbury, Simonds, Smith, Smythe, Swails, Thomas, Thompson, Tomlinson, Webb, White, Wilder, Williams, Wimbush, and Wright.

Title: CANADA LEE | LIFEBOAT (1944) Photo
Author: Twentieth Century Fox
Seller: Walterfilm, Inc. (United States)
Condition: Fine
Description: Twentieth Century Fox. No binding. Fine. [Los Angeles]: Twentieth Century Fox, [1944]. Vintage original 10 x 8" (25 x 20 cm.) black-and-white print still photo, fine. A portrait of the distinguished African American actor. He was discovered by Orson Welles, who cast him in his famous WPA "Voodoo Macbeth" and subsequently cast Lee in the lead role of Bigger Thomas in the successful production of Richard Wright's Native Son on Broadway. In 1945, he appeared in an acclaimed production on Broadway as Caliban in Shakespeare's The Tempest. His career and life were cut short at the age of 45 in 1952. Lee was an early influence on physician and human rights activist H. Jack Geiger. They met in 1940 when Geiger, a 14-year-old middle-class Jewish runaway, was backstage at a Broadway production of Native Son. Lee agreed to take Geiger in when he showed up at his door in Harlem asking for a place to stay. With the consent of his parents, Geiger stayed with Lee for over a year. Lee took on the role of surrogate father and introduced Geiger to Langston Hughes, Billy Strayhorn, Richard Wright, and Adam Clayton Powell. Geiger eventually became a journalist, then a doctor who co-founded the first community health center in the United States, Columbia Point Health Center in Dorchester, Massachusetts. He became a founder of Physicians for Social Responsibility and Physicians for Human Rights, and established community health centers in Mississippi and South Africa. Geiger says he would never have moved so deeply in these worlds so quickly if not for his experiences with Canada Lee. By the late 1940s, the rising tide of anti-communism had made many of Lee's earlier contacts politically dangerous. In 1949, the trade journal Variety stated that under no circumstance was Lee to be used in American Tobacco's televised production of a radio play he had recently starred in because he was "too controversial". The same year, the FBI offered to clear Lee's name if he would publicly call Paul Robeson a communist. Lee refused and responded by saying, "All you're trying to do is split my race." According to newspaper columnist Walter Winchell, Lee stated that he intended to come out and "publicly blast Paul Robeson." However, the fact that the friendship between the two actors remained until Lee's death suggests that Robeson put no faith in Winchell's claim. At the height of the Hollywood blacklist, Lee managed to find work in 1950 as the star of the British film Cry, the Beloved Country, for which both he and Sidney Poitier were smuggled into South Africa as indentured servants in order to play their roles as African ministers. During filming, Lee had his first heart attack, and he never fully recovered his health. The film's message of universal brotherhood stands as Lee's final work towards this aim. This portrait is of Lee in the role of Joe Spencer in Alfred Hitchcock's film Lifeboat, in which the survivors of a U-boat torpedoing their ship attempt to survive in a lifeboat.

Seller: J & J Lubrano Music Antiquarians LLC (United States)
Description: Wien: Universal-Edition [PN U.E. 8685], 1927. Small folio. Full dark green cloth, titling gilt to spine. 2ff. (title, performance notes), 5-111, [1] (blank) pp. Binding slightly rubbed. Minor browning to edges. First Edition. Rufer (E) pp. 50-51. GA B/23/2, pp. 129. "In a similar manner to several movements from the earlier piano compositions opp. 23 and 25 as well as the Serenade, op. 24, the Suite is dominated by dance rhythms, with the first two movements in particular recalling the dance music of the 1920s. The unusual scoring with its affinity to the "reeds" section of a swing band - three clarinets, string trio and piano - contributes to this feeling. However, the particular attraction of the Suite originates from the tension in the relationship between its cheerful character and the rigidity of its musical structure. The work is based on a twelve-tone row whose final group of four tones is a transposed retrograde form of the first group of four tones, while two groups of two tones are arranged as a mirror image in the middle group. The hexachords solely consist of semitones and minor thirds; the first hexachord comprises the triads of E flat major and B minor, the second hexachord comprises the triads of C sharp major and A minor. Schönberg also worked other "degrees of relationships" into the row's structure which demonstrates supreme artistry in the handling of a - at the time new - method of composition." © Arnold Schönberg Center.
