Condition: Very Good. First Edition. First edition, seemingly issued simultaneously in cloth and wrappers, this is the scarce cloth edition. Signed by the author without personalization adding "regards". Recipient's small note below signature indicating receipt date. In this book, Henry addresses the issue of labor conditions in… the late 19th century, particularly in the United States. He argues that the capitalist system is inherently flawed and that it leads to the exploitation of workers. Henry presents a detailed analysis of the economic and social factors that contribute to the poor conditions of labor and offers solutions to improve the situation. The book is written in the form of an open letter to Pope Leo XIII, who had recently published an encyclical on the issue of labor. Henry's letter is a passionate plea to the Pope to use his influence to bring about change and to advocate for the rights of workers Some gingerness to the hinge in middle of the book, spine tips scuffed, corners rubbed. Very good.

12. Paris-Levallois, J. David photographe, 1879, in-folio album, oblong format, 31 x 40 cm, album with 10 thick leaves containing in all 20 original photographs mounted back to back in the passe-partout cut outs of the album leaves. The album , bound in original publisher's red half morocco, both covers in red buckram over board…. Front cover with blindtooling rectangles and large lettering and decoration in gilt. '' Le Vatican - supra libro - 1879 ''. All edges gilt. Finely preserved original album notwithstanding some minor marginal foxing spots at some leaves. The gilt decoration and red covers and spine still shining bright. The binding is signed on the lower front cover '' J. David Phot. A Levallois-Paris''. The album opens with portrait of the seated pope, signed in the negative J. David Phot. -- déposé. (phot. slightly faded). As the following photographs there is a very neat hand written caption in the lower margin. The next two pictures are the most interesting of this album. They represent each time the pope seated on a trone surrounded by his staff. The first picture is called '' Cour intime''. (12 people surrounding the pope) The second '' Cour ponticale'' with ca. 40 people surrounding the pope. Both pictures with in the nagatice ''J. David Phot Depose''. These pictures are very good prints. The remaining pictures depict inside and outside views of the Vatican. Unfortunately these remaining pictures are all faded. Still a very interesting beautifully bound and well preserved album which contains these two stunning pictures of the court of the newly elected pope Leo XIII. He reigned from 1878 ( one year before these pictures were made) until 1903. He is remembered as a restorer of the papacy after the disastrous political reign of his predecessor pope Pius IX. He is also famous in the Roman Catholic Church for his 1891 encyclic Rerum Novarum.
