Group of seven (7) original black-and-white glossy news agency photographs (International News Photos, Chicago), most in very good to near fine condition and all with the usually-absent original mimeographed text sheets still present (though age toned, as printed on cheap newsprint stock). Five of the photos are 6.5" X 8.5" in size and two are 8" X 10". Large "International News Photos" and use data inkstamped on verso of each. All depict portions of Italy, with arrows and shading indicating troop positions, etc. In chronological order, caption sheets describe each as follows: 1.) 9-23-34: "Possible Invasions Points. This map shows how Hitler's Europe may be invaded from three points. Shaded arrows indicate how new attempts could be made from Corsica, Sardinia, and Bari. Dotted lines denote air miles to Nazi targets...." 2.) 10-13-43: "Daily War Map -- Italy. The shaded portion in the center of the map shows present Allied position. With the American capture of La Ricca in the center of the line, the flanking movement against Nazis behind the Volturno proceeds...." 3.) 10-13-43: Variation of the preceding -- "Today's War Map on Italy. The shaded portion on this map depicts the Allied position in central Italy. With the capture of La Ricca, in the center of the line, by the American Fifth Army the flanking movement of the Nazi position entrenched behind the Volturno River, is shown...." 4.) 10-15-43: "Nazi Lines Totter. The Nazi defense line on the Volturno tottered as the Allies pushed forward at the mouth of the river and at Capua. At Vinchiaturo and Campbasso, the British Fifth Army was outflanking the Nazis...." 5.) 10-19-43: "Daily War Map -- Italy. Allied positions in Italy are shown by the shaded portion of the map. Arrows indicate points where Allies are applying pressure, on the front extending from Cancelio on the north of the Volturno River through Capia section and on to Cerrato, Vinchiaturo, Casacalenda to four miles west of Termoli...." 6.) 10-19-43: Variation of the preceding -- "Allied Forces Extend Their Front in Italy. The shaded area shows the Allied positions in Italy. The arrows show the points where the Allies are putting on pressure. The front now extends from Cancello on the north of the Volturno through Capia section through Cerrato, Vinchiaturo, Casacelenda and four miles west of Termoli...." 7.) 10-20-43: "All Roads Beginning to Lead to Rome. The American Fifth and the British Eighth Armies are driving towards the German defense line on the Garigliano River. The Americans are at one point only about 85 miles from Rome...." These high-quality prints would of course have been sent to various large metropolitan newspapers for possible reproduction. The vast majority of these prints have been destroyed over the years as newspaper photograph archives became obsolete, making surviving originals in superb condition quite scarce, especially with the fragile text pages present. This particular group chronicles a specific and intense period in the war, and makes an interesting study of the means in which war news, sensitive and censored, was disseminated to the public.

Chicago: Chicago Lith. Co., 1869. 22" X 17". Good plus. Mildly age toned, more so about the edges. Bright, nice original print of this rare color lithograph of this small central Illinois town, drawn by A. Ruger (Chicago artist whose printed name appears at lower left). What's fascinating about this particular specimen is that's it's extra-illustrated: That is, some early owner or more likely the artist or publisher has neatly pencilled in two columns of building identifications and addresses in a miniscule hand in the blank areas at lower left (13 structures) and lower right (13 structures), with corresponding numbers pencilled alongside those buildings in the image. Six structures are identified in print in two small columns at immediate right and left of the title, thus these additions begin with number "7" and go up through number "30." He has also neatly pencilled in other geographic features unidentified in the image ("Leckie's Lake," "Large Dam," "Picnic Grounds," "Oak St.," "99 miles Chi," "Cooper Shop," even a boat in the lake noted as "Petrell," etc.) Along the top blank margin he pencils in "EAST" in a large Times Roman script, in the left margin "NORTH" and in the right margin "South." Immediately below the printed title, he also adds "The Loda Distillery Employs 100 men, consumes 1,000 bushels of grain / and pays over $2,000 Tax to Government per day." It's our belief these were additions meant for a projected second printing -- which never came to pass. These handwritten additions thus constitute a one-of-a-kind record of these structures, an exhaustive inventory of this town's 1869 structures. In addition to this unique feature, this print has an interesting provenance: It comes from the collection of Illinois' former two-term senator, ADLAI E. STEVENSON III (b. 1930), to whom it was handed down within the family. The likelihood is strong this print originated with his great-grandfather, ADLAI E. STEVENSON I (1835-1914), who served as vice president under Grover Cleveland. In 1852, when Adlai I was 16 years old, the Stevenson family moved from Kentucky to Bloomington, Illinois -- 42 miles west of Loda -- and the Stevenson family has been intimately connected with Bloomington ever since. It's perfectly reasonable they would have wanted this bird's eye view of their neighboring town -- which Adlai I then handed down to his son, who handed it down to his son Adlai II (governor of Illinois), and from there to the current Adlai. An extremely unusual copy of an exceptionally scarce print. Framed in a vintage (not contemporary with the print, but circa 1970) 1" wooden frame under a single new cream matte (overall dimensions 29½" X 23½"), making for a clean, simple presentation. John W. Reps (in "Views & Viewmakers of Urban America") shows only the Library of Congress copy. HEBERT 166. REPS 900.
