The photographic albums date from 1888 through the first two decades of the twentieth century.He was not a photographer by profession, he was a railway superintendent and bank president.enjoyed a special closeness to his daughters as their progress from infancy to childhood is revealed through a series of photographs which are vibrant with spontaneity and charm. Methods of travel held a fascination for him as he photographed the two great movers of the century, the locomotive and the steamship. Less imposing modes of transportation including bicycles, goatcarts, stagecoaches, buses, wagons, sailboats, and rolling chairs are also recorded, from a tender portrait of his eldest daughter cradling the family pet we are transported to the hustle and bustle of the newly constructed Brooklyn Bridge. An insightful moment is captured by Fry's lens as J. P. Morgan, Jr. absentmindedly pets his hunting dog; this is the same lens that will record the simple dignity of Napoleon Short, a faithful family servant. ; scenes photographed include Wardgap, Patrick County, Virginia, Fisher Park, Montezuma, Nelson County, Hunting, Fishing, Cape Fear, Yadkin, Orton Plantation, New York, Central Park, Brooklyn Bridge, World's Columbian Exposition, Chicago 1892, Atlanta Cotton States Exposition 1895, Savannah, Georgia, Atlantic City, New Jersey, St Augustine, Florida, Palm Beach, and the Louisiana Purchase Universal Exhibition 1903 ; scarce G/G.

First Edition. Walker, Alice. Meridian, 1976, a novel that situates Black women's intellectual and political labor within the Civil Rights Movement and examines the shift from nonviolent protest to more militant forms of resistance in the late 1960s. Written by Alice Walker, a central figure in African American literature and Black feminist thought, the work follows a young activist navigating the moral and physical demands of organizing in the American South. The narrative addresses racial violence, gendered expectations within movement spaces, and the psychological toll of sustained activism, placing Black women at the center of political transformation during a period of escalating confrontation. Walker, Alice. Meridian. New York: Harcourt, Brace, Jovanovich, 1976. Signed by the author on the front free endpaper. Uncorrected proof, issued in light blue tape bound wrappers. This early state of the text includes handwritten page numbers, editorial corrections, and the insertion of supplemental leaves labeled 216A and 216B, indicating active revision prior to final publication. As a pre publication form, the proof preserves the author's evolving text and provides insight into the editorial process behind one of Walker's major early novels. Composed in the decade following the height of the Civil Rights Movement, Meridian reflects ongoing debates within Black political life concerning nonviolence, armed resistance, and the role of women within liberation movements. Walker's portrayal of activism emphasizes endurance, sacrifice, and ideological conflict, aligning the novel with contemporaneous shifts toward Black Power and feminist critique. Minor wear to wrappers with light handling; otherwise well preserved. Overall very good condition. Signed.
