Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. New York: The Masses Publishing Company, 1915. The June, 1915 issue (Volume VI, Number 9, whole number 49). Large Folio, illustrated stapled wraps, 27 pp. Very Good by any periodical standard; as the very inexpensively-produced budget-of-the-heart icon The Masses was, this example is certainly better than very good, by its own standard. Light crease the vertical length of cover; small nicks at front cover perimeter; larger chip at rear cover, lower left; modest toning to the remarkably healthy contents. See scans. Certainly one of the most seminal socio-political American publications of the last 200 years, The Masses was a collection of ideological art, opinion and reporting - usually contributed with little or no compensation - which strongly represented socialist / marxist values, but in a larger sense was representative of labor, women's rights, and radical left issues in general as those were at that time. Famous names of the era often contributed work, but the names of the regulars are themselves all now in history books. The now-timeless publication was shut down by the U.S. Government in 1918 on the basis of postal regulations, after two intense and ideologically-charged trials. Eastman and his sister, Crystal, then started The Liberator to carry on; after The Liberator closed its doors in 1926, The New Masses, under the primary leadership of Mike Gold, carried the radical flag. The Masses, as the first, is also the rarest. Text contributors to this issue of June, 1915 included Eastman, Carl Sandburg, Howard Brubaker, Harris Merton Lyon, Louis Untermeyer, Edmond McKenna, Elsie Clews Parsons, Frank Tanenbaum, Robert Carlton Brown, W.J. Robinson, Charles Grey, and Florence Kiper Frank. Art was contributed by Frank Walts, John Sloan, Art Young, Glenn O. Coleman, Stuart Davis, Cornelia Barns, Randall Davey, George Bellows, Maurice Becker, A. Londoner, Elias Goldberg, and Eugene Higgins, with Walts executing the front cover, and Davis the rear cover. Check out all of those names. An extraordinarily rare piece of American publishing and political history. l-lng2. Frank Walts, John Sloan, Art Young, Glenn O.

Profusely (!!) illustrated throughout with black and white drawings, including many full-page captioned drawings and a black and white map on the last page of the Santa Fe route from Chicago to California.

Early in the decade of the 1890s, the Santa Fe Railroad gained a reputation for producing the finest of all railroad booklets. That reputation was largely the result of one man's talent and initiative. C[harles] A[lford] Higgins built a career writing exceptional booklets that invited attention and compelled remembrance. In so doing, he differentiated the Santa Fe from the rest of the pack. While his booklets were typical in that they described the region through which his line passed, Higgins alone authored finely crafted narratives, "finely illustrated, without too much railroad talk in them." (Michael E. Zega, "?Advertising the Southwest," Journal of the Southwest, 2001.) Nearly every page bears several gem-like illustrations by John Tinney McCutcheon, a Chicago newspaper artist, who also provided many full-page illustrations depicting scenes along the way, including iconic Native Americans. Front matter includes 2-page advertisement and the last page is a map of the Santa Few route. The first edition of a classic work on early travel by train to California. J.T. McCutcheon [John Tinney] (illustrator).…
