Handsome cream silk cloth boards with brown titles embossed on cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by Joseph Mills. The original prints were made on expired photographic paper which were then varnished, giving the images their evocative "faded-and-used" look. Essay by Anne Wilkes Tucker. In pictorial DJ with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name held at the Corcoran Gallery of Art Washington DC from February 13 through April 14, 2003. Presents the artist/photographer's black-and-white photographs of Washington DC's streets, which are finally being recognized as of comparable power and importance as his celebrated photomontage/collage art. "People and their detritus are the focal points of these pictures. His subjects are not Washington's elite but those whose situations in life are more peripheral and vulnerable: Children, street prophets, the homeless, and the mentally unstable. The resulting pictures are both about the inner city life he records and his own internal conflicts" (Publisher's blurb) . If so, they would be vintage street photography, whether it is practiced by Henri Cartier-Bresson or Diane Arbus, Garry Winogrand or Helen Levitt, that is to say, the streets of America as they have always been, a microcosm of the city. What Joseph Mills brings to the genre is his poetic treatment of the subject, aided by technique (varnish) and materials (outdated paper) that once seen, one is not likely to forget. "Mills is a good enough picture-maker to intrigue us and yet he is determined to keep us on the edge of unknowing" (Anne Wilkes Tucker) . A "must-have" title for Joseph Mills collectors. <b><i> This copy is prominently and beautifully signed in black fountain pen by Joseph Mills. This title is now highly collectible. This is the only signed copy available online and has no flaws, a pristine beauty. A rare signed copy thus. </b></i> 49 plates. One of the finest living American artist/photographers. A flawless copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER JOSEPH MILLS TITLE IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 159005055X. Signed by Author.

Tanaka, Shelley: A DAY THAT CHANGED AMERICA, New York Hyperion Books for Children 2004
0-7868-1882-4 New Condition

On a Peaceful Spring Morning, Disaster Strikes San Francisco.On the early morning of April 19, 1906, the city of San Francisco was struck by a devastating earthquake that crumpled buildings, cracked water mains, broke gas pipes, and sent kerosene lamps flying. Fires quickly engulfed most of the city, leaving exhausted civilians to fight the flames with well water, sewer water, and old rags. Despite valiant rescue efforts, estimates place the death toll at around 3,000. Claudia Mills - Children's Literature In this fourth volume in Hyperion's "A Day that Changed America" series, Tanaka uses her winning formula of presenting dramatic historical events through the eyes of actual children who experienced them, as retold from their own preserved eye-witness accounts. Ten-year-old Doris Bepler is chiefly concerned with whether the earthquake means she can't attend a long-awaited picnic-until she discovers that her father's machine shop has burned to the ground; eight-year-old DeWitt Baldwin slips away from his family and sets off by himself to survey the city's vast devastation; teenager Sol Lesser borrows a horse-drawn milk wagon to assist in bringing supplies to the thousands of newly homeless camping in San Francisco's parks; in the most moving story of all, young Hugh Liang is abandoned by his closest relative, sees his Chinatown home destroyed, and has all his remaining worldly goods stolen while he is helping a frightened mother who is giving birth during the raging fires. The four interspersed narratives are illustrated with period photographs of the city's destruction and large, detailed, colorful paintings portraying our four protagonists as they experience the events of this harrowing day. Tanaka and Craig have made history exciting and accessible to young readers, in a format that is attentive to and respectful of the actual voices of those who lived through it. Includes a glossary, index, and recommendations for further reading. 2004, Hyperion/Madison Press, Ages 8 up. School Library Journal Gr 5-8-Using dramatic material culled from the adult recollections of four survivors-Hugh Kwong Liang (15), Doris Bepler (10), Sol Lesser (16), and DeWitt Baldwin (8)-Tanaka re-creates a series of events during and following the great San Francisco earthquake of April 18, 1906. Liberally laced with contemporary photos and some colorful artwork, the book also contains fact boxes on earthquakes, fire horses, and Chinatown, and includes a city map marked with sites mentioned in the text. Less detailed than Lisa Chippendale's The San Francisco Earthquake of 1906 (Chelsea, 2000) and James House's The San Francisco Earthquake (Lucent, 1989; o.p.), this book still deserves consideration because of its youthful views of a national catastrophe. Readable, personal.-Patricia Manning, formerly at Eastchester Public Library, NY Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
