Two hundred and fifty years ago, American declared its independence from Great Britain. This July represents a landmark month, ripe for contemplating the democratic ideals our nation attempted to codify. This catalogue, including selections from the Gilder Lehrman Collection, covers a wide swath of Americana from the first depiction of the American flag, an early printing of the Star Spangled Banner, rare maps from the Revolution and Civil War and more.
Not restricted to glitz and glamor, this performing arts catalogue includes contractual disagreements, a peek behind the scenes of Ginsberg's rock and roll album, and an archive of post-punk film in the East Village.
From New Mexico to Washington and everything in between, this catalogue of Western Americana features stories from nearly half the land area of the contiguous United States of America.
Within this catalogue of material related to WWI and WWII you'll find a dramatic and detailed account by a survivor of the sinking of the Lusitania; a presentation copy of Franklin D. Roosevelt's D-Day Prayer, inscribed by FDR to his youngest son and daughter-in-law; as well as literature directly inspired by the horrors of warfare.
April showers bring fresh May acquisitions. Within this eclectic list of recently catalogued material, you'll find anyone from Ernest Hemingway and Eric Gill to Alexander Hamilton and Ansel Adams.
