About This Item
New York: Hunter College, 1961. First Edition. Fine. One concert handbill, measuring just short of 7" x 11". In fine, unblemished condition. The document advertises a concert at Hunter College by Camilla Williams, the African-American opera singer often cited as the first African-American to have a contract with a major opera house (New York City Opera). The verso of the program reads like a resume of her major achievements, and it's a long list. Though undated, we were able to triangulate the date to 1961, which comports with the written content and the style of the program. Not separately listed in OCLC, we presume this is a scarce piece of African-American opera history, possibly unrecorded by scholars.

About Cleveland Book Company
We are proud members of the ABAA.
As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.
