Title: Civil Rights Movement Leadership: Martin Luther King Jr at Washington National Cathedral Days Before Assassination, 1968
Author: Martin Luther King Sermon Before Assassination
Seller: Max Rambod Inc. (United States)
Description: 1968. King, Martin Luther, Jr., original silver gelatin press photograph taken March 31, 1968 in Washington, D.C., documents his appearance at Washington National Cathedral to deliver the sermon "Remaining Awake Through a Great Revolution," four days before his assassination in Memphis on April 4, 1968. The image shows King on the Cathedral grounds with Dean Francis B. Sayre, Jr. and a Capitol Police officer, situating the civil rights leader within a major Episcopal institution at a moment of national crisis marked by debates over civil rights, poverty, and the Vietnam War. Sayre, an outspoken supporter of the movement who had marched in the 1965 Selma to Montgomery voting rights march, invited King to preach what would become his final Sunday sermon, linking the pulpit of the National Cathedral to the broader moral and political struggle for racial justice. Silver gelatin press photograph, Washington, D.C., March 31, 1968. Image measures approximately 4.5 x 4 inches. King appears in a dark suit and tie; Sayre wears a suit with clerical collar. The two men stand outdoors on the Cathedral lawn accompanied by a uniformed Capitol Police officer. Red editorial markings appear in the margins and along the periphery of the image, indicating press handling and layout preparation. Created within days of King's assassination, the photograph captures the intersection of religious leadership and civil rights advocacy at the highest levels of American public life. Sayre, grandson of President Woodrow Wilson, used his position to denounce segregation, McCarthyism, poverty, and the Vietnam War, aligning the Cathedral with the movement's national moral critique. Minor yellow toning visible in portions of the background foliage; light press markings consistent with newsroom use; image remains sharp and clear. Overall very good condition. Historically proximate visual record of King's final public sermon and his alliance with religious leadership in Washington.

Title: SOME REMINISCENCES
Author: Conrad, Joseph
Seller: Sumner & Stillman (United States)
Description: 1912. London: Eveleigh Nash, 1912. 2 pp undated ads. Original dark blue cloth. First Edition of this autobiographical work, which initially appeared serially in Ford Madox Ford's newly-founded "English Review." What is remarkable about Conrad's reminiscences is how clearly he employed fictional techniques worked out with Ford,... wherein the narrative intensity increases as the story develops. To achieve that, Conrad used a constantly interrupted narrative as a way of unsettling conventional sequences and, thereby, established anticipation of the next episode. Conrad needed a method that permitted intimacy, up to a certain point, and then withdrawal, when he had revealed enough... so his reminiscences would be matters of attack and retreat. [Karl] SOME REMINISCENCES is generally believed to have slightly preceded the American edition -- which, as with subsequent English editions, was titled A PERSONAL RECORD. Wise claimed that only 1,000 copies were printed (apparently including some bound by Bell as the colonial issue), but Nash records have not survived to substantiate this. This copy is in very good-plus condition (minor rubbing at the extremities, endpapers cracking, faint evidence of bookplate removal on the front paste-down). Cagle A15b.1.
