Washington Golden Jubilee Celebration Tacoma July 20-23 1939. Fifty Years of Progress. Souvenir Program

Heavy paper wraps printed in green, gold, and red, with deco-ish panels showing logging at top, futuristic city buildings and transportation at bottom. A program for the State of Washington's fiftieth anniversary of statehood, plus numerous promotional pages including photographs and advertising. This item is now older than the event it celebrated, and gives another sort of historical perspective on the State. The cover has a few spots and some edgewear, slightly toned at edges. Internally there are some toned pages ages, but overall considering the lower quality paper used the program remains in very good condition.

Old Yankee Robinson's Great Modern Show Letterhead with Letter
Publisher: 1875
Very attractive letterhead with advertising for "Old Yankee" Robinson's Great Modern Show - which included a hippodrome with a Roman race track ("every kind of race ever thought of"), a "tip top" circus, a large elevated stage upon which performed a "troupe of roller skateists - both sexes." (woo woo!) All of this described at the top of the page, along with an attractive logo (the Earth surrounded by a chariot race, with show features printed on the globe) and the Robinson rebus. Along the side are printed additional features, including a velocipede carnival troupe, a ballet troupe of "Ladies and Misses, " a "great cannon feat." Oddly enough among the enumerated features is, "More new, novel, beautiful and unique printing (all newly executed by the Evening Express Printing and Engraving Co;, Rochester, N.Y., ) than was ever done in any one season by any company." As an added addendum, the spiel states, "Now if all these Six Cardinal Features are complete and well done, Y.R. wants to know where nay 'Swindle' can come in." The letter itself is dated Terre Haute Indiana, April 9, 1875. The salutation is "Dear Pareints" [sic] and appears to be from "Nell" whose note is warm and reassuring about "plenty of hard "work she is experiencing in the circus. Very good condition with one tiny chip on the upper page edge, previously folded for mailing. EPHEMERA 5201 Original Document Very Good Condition Ephemera

Original manuscript letter 1844, re Austrian political situation, addressed to British M.P. from An American:
Publisher: 1844
Seven hand written pages on two folded sheets, address on back of second sheet. Addressed to M. Milnes Esqr., M.P., House of Commons, 26 Pall Mall. The content of this letter describes the atrocities against the "nobility" that the "American" witnessed while living in Galacia, and the seething political unrest in Vienna. This was shortly before the revolution in 1846. He concludes, "But there are reforms, there is a revolution to come in Austria, & the man to lead that revolution is the present minister of finance, the Baron Kiebeck (sp?), a man taken from the people, & to aid him, men are training up in Austria…." He indicates that he is responding to a speech given by Milnes, and concludes, "I do not sign my name, because I am a humble individual, who for a long time have sought instruction & amusement, in looking at the World…." with a lot of high-handed rhetoric regarding the "high minded English feeling." The letter was posted from 1st Arundell ST., Patton Square, Haymarket, Tuesday Mng. 10th Aug 1844. Very Good condition, sheets are folded for mailing with remains of wax seal.
