Description:
[Washington, D.C.]: Democratic National Campaign Committee, 1938. 19 quarto broadsides (12" x 7-1/2" - ca. 30.5cm x 19cm), with text and illustrations printed recto-only in black on variously-colored stock. Light upward curl along lower edge, and a few broadsides with subtle toning to extremities; two examples with some old, faint splash marks, and a handful with modest wear along upper or lower edges, along with some small nicks, short tears, and attendant creases; Very Good to Very Good+. A near-complete set of broadsides (3 lacking) trumpeting the accomplishments of FDR in his first term and warning against the regressive social and fiscal policies of the Republicans. Each broadside on a different theme: Housing; the WPA; Trade Policy; Taxes; Farm Relief, etc. The broadsides were issued in 1938, probably for the mid-term elections of that year. OCLC shows none of the broadsides to be separately cataloged, though we note sets held at Stanford and the Wolfsonian.

Description:
[New Mexico: 1939-40]. Oblong quarto souvenir album (8" x 12"); 20 leaves, of which 11 used. Contents include 48 original photographs and two printed postcards. Most of the photos are small-format Brownie snapshots, 2-3/4" x 2"; a few larger (up to 3" x 5"); two are captioned in the image "Vaughn, New Mexico, Nov. 23, 1940." Slight toning to album edges, but contents generally fine. An evocative album of images recording the career of an unidentified C.C.C. recruit in the American southwest. The snapshots, all original amateur images, show scenes of corpsmen at work and play, on horseback, in pickup trucks, etc., all against a series of arid backgrounds. C.C.C. records on-line identify Co. 3349 as having been based in Ft. Sommer [Sumner?] New Mexico, engaged primarily in work with the Soil Conservation Service. Two of the photographs here appear to depict large farm ponds, these possibly being projects completed by the company.

Description:
Akron: Harry "Ping" Auber, N.d. [ca 1930]. First Edition. Broadside, 12-1/2" x 9-1/4" (ca 32cm x 24cm), printed in blue and red on white background. Text in two columns surrounding photographic portrait. Minor creasing, small stain lower right; Near Fine. Excellent promotional broadside for a talented lightweight of the Twenties and Thirties. Based on the list of opponents in the left-hand column of text (as compared with the fighter's statistics at BoxRec.com) the broadside dates from late 1930 or early 1931. Harris went into 1931 with an impressive 62-3 won-loss record, including 20 KO's -- but that year his luck ran out: in a March, 1931 rematch against light welterweight Mickey Duris, Harris failed to answer the bell for the 10th round; he slipped into a coma and later died from injuries sustained in the fight.
