Description:
n.p., n.d. (Detroit, ca 1997?). Machine lithograph, 18" x 22", printed in black and red on white background. Signed by the artist lower right. Fine. Poster published during the Detroit News Strike, when staff from Detroit's two major dailies, the News and the Free Press, striking over wages and conditions, left to form their own weekly tabloid, The Detroit Sunday Journal, which ran through 1999. The poster depicts four uniformed policemen forcibly removing a striking worker from the picket line, with the one-word caption "A' rest." On her website, Detroit graphic designer Susan Kramer identifies herself during this period "as an employee of the Detroit Newspaper Agency, active member of the Communication Workers of America...and assisted in publishing the Detroit Sunday Journal." Another of Kramer's posters, "Standing Strong in Detroit," was sold to raise more than $30,000 to support the strike (see: atdetroit-[dot]-com/susankramer).

[3]. Additional signature on p. [3] of E.A. Garlington (1853-1934), a United States General who served during the Indian Wars. Good or better. Scarce address delivered shortly after the founding of the General Trades' Union, by Moore, in August of the same year. The GTU is considered to be the first large trade union, headed by the delegates of nine craft trades. Moore, elected its first president, would go on to be a U.S. Representative from New York, from 1835 to 1839 and later, in 1845, president of the National Trade Union. The present document is possibly the first publication issued by the Union, the opening statement…

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.
