Title: BUSTER CRABBE | HOW TO SWIM IN NINE EASY LESSONS (1938) Set of 4 beefcake photos
Author: Paramount
Seller: Walterfilm, Inc. (United States)
Condition: Very Good
Description: Paramount. No binding. Very Good. [Los Angeles]: Paramount Pictures, 1938. Set of four (4) Vintage original 8 x 10" (20 x 25 cm.) black-and-white glossy silver gelatin photos. Minor corner creases and wear to all. One has chip at top right corner, another has chip at bottom left corner. Overall very good. Four photos in a series called "How To Swim in Nine Easy Lessons". The series includes nine photos as indicated; present are numbers 1, 6, 8 and 9. Each has a blurb printed on the verso explaining the swim technique which Buster is demonstrating. They were used to publicize his appearance in the Paramount film Tip Off Girls. The Olympic swim champ was popular and utilized in film for his physique more so than his acting talents, but he did make for an iconic Flash Gordon. From the Kenneth Anger collection, but not stamped. Anger may have been planning a beefcake storyline for one of his books, or just liked collecting beefcake photos of the stars. Photos coded P1498-240, 241, 243, 248.

Title: COLONIZATION AND COMMERCE. AN ADDRESS BEFORE THE YOUNG MEN'S MERCANTILE LIBRARY ASSOCIATION OF CINCINNATI, OHIO, NOVEMBER 29, 1859. BY... OF MISSOURI
Author: Blair, Frank P., Jun.
Seller: David M. Lesser, Fine Antiquarian Books LLC (United States)
Description: [Cincinnati?, 1859. 8pp, caption title [as issued]. Disbound, light margin spotting. Good+. Blair explains his pet project: combining emancipation with colonization "in the congenial regions of the American tropics, for such of our negroes as are now free, or who hereafter may be enfranchised by States or individuals, and who may choose to go there, and to offer them such inducements, by securing them self-government, free homesteads, and protection against foreign or domestic molestation, as they will not and cannot refuse." Blair argues that "the two races cannot occupy the same States without mutual injury." And slavery injures, most of all, other whites "by monopolizing and degrading all the industrial occupations, which elsewhere supply the wants of an independent yeomanry, puts education within their reach, and makes improvement possible." FIRST EDITION. LCP 1253. Not in Sabin, Thomson, Eberstadt, Work.
