No Place, No Publisher, 1960. Unbound. Ephemera related to Lewis Bertrand and his candidacy for the presidency of the United States of America in 1960. Two pieces.

The second piece outlines the concept and platform of a 'Mankinds Assembly,' outlining goals for peace through the establishment of a permanent peace congress, independent, but concomitant with the United Nations. Peace between Russia and the United States figure heavily into the outline. Online searches yielded no information on Bertrand or the Mankinds Assembly. GOOD condition. Red date stamps at the top of each piece. Vertical fold creases present, with other creasing and wrinkling present. Minor toning to the paper.

Gals! Gayety! Gals! Gayety! Dancing Runs Wild! Rhythm Runs Riot! Broadside Advertisement

No Place, No publisher. Unbound. ! No author, publisher, place or date. Perhaps published by producer David Wiles. Small broadside advertisement measuring 13 ½ by 7 inches. Black printing on yellow paper. With text and illustrations, being photos of the African-American dancer "Anya" as well as three small photos of an African-American couple dancing. An advertisement for a show "A Night on Lennox Ave" produced by David Wiles and billed as the "Hottest Sepia Show This Side of New York!" The show featured comedians as well as African-American dancers including "Anya in her Savage Maiden Dance! Ode to the God of Love Passion and Death!" It appears David Wiles may have been active in North Carolina in the 1940s and 1950s. Using the euphemism "sepia", the broadside apparently sought to skirt the taboo of mentioning or using African-American performers in pieces presumably marketed for a white audience. The show was to appear at the Big Ramble on Thursday Nov. 19 (no year). VERY GOOD condition. Minor toning. Some wrinkling and creasing at the corners. Very Good .
