The film was developed approximately 23 years later to reveal the scenes that captured the attention of an unknown photographer. This FIRST COPY of the edition of 300 is stamped 001/300 at the tail of the inside back cover. From a description by Georgiev: "Drawn from a series of corroded vernacular photographs discovered by curator Pascale Georgiev, Old Faithful acknowledges the reoccurring instances that author patterns of life, personas, and memories. Featuring 17 kaleidoscopic photographs of Yellowstone National Park's Old Faithful Geyser, captured in the early 1990's on 110mm film, these were developed wholly unaltered by Georgiev with autumn of 2015." The deterioration of the color qualities of the film produced images that have a predominant tine of orange, red, blue, etc., varying from picture to picture. They appear to be tinted in processing, but they were not. Pascale Georgiev, FRSA, is an editor & curator currently based between Los Angeles and Montreal. Her works include vernacular photography books, art monographs, photo and written essays, and commercial publications. Capucine Labarthe is a Berlin-based Art Director and Graphic Designer. Both women currently have leadership roles in The Cultural Research Institute, a consultancy for ethnographic research and resulting branding, marketing, and business strategy.

Etat : Very good plus. An invitation to the "Recooperation Baths", which seems to be an annual get-together for Cooper Union alumni. Cooper Union was founded in 1859 by business magnate Peter Cooper to offer a tuition-free education in practical areas such as architectural drawing, shorthand, and the like. No longer free, Cooper Union now consists of three schools: art, architecture, and engineering. Graphic designer Lou Dorfsman (19182008), who inscribed this poster with a message for "Sam", graduated from Cooper Union in 1939. He would serve on its board of directors and, as this poster states, on its Alumni Committee. More famously, Dorfsman was the art director and later creative director at CBS, where he designed not just programming advertisements but also sets and the CBS headquarters' interior. The poster promises alumni "an evening of gayety, jollity, merriment, entertainment, swimming, dancing, drinking, dining" at the Woolworth Building in Tribeca probably at its private basement swimming pool. 20 x 28 inches. Folded with some tears at folds, slightly wrinkled; inscribed "Sam / You must come! / Send money / Lou Dorfsman".…

A flyer advertising the all-Black drama film Sugar Hill Baby (1937). The film, directed by Irwin Franklyn and originally titled Harlem Aristocrat, featured all local actors recruited from the readership of the African-American newspaper The New York Age alongside Willie Bryant's Harlemanians. Bryant (19081964) was an actor, radio DJ, and bandleader; he formed the Harlemanians in 1934, and replaced Chick Webb's orchestra on NBC. In 1952, Mayor Vincent Impellitteri named Bryant the "Mayor of Harlem" for his contributions to the community. The flyer's copy promises that the film is "Dramatically Superb! Crammed With Action, Thrills, Laughs, Tantalizing Tunes, and With the Greatest Love Story Ever Told!" Sugar Hill Baby is one of the many so-called "race films"films by and for Black audiencesthat have been lost to time. Folded at middle, with some wear mainly to margins, and some small repairs verso. Very good plus. Flyer measuring 8 x 10 ½ inches.…
