Soft cover. Condizione: Fine. 231 pages : illustrations (chiefly colour), colour map ; 28 cm. Catalogue of an exhibition held at the Johannesburg Art Gallery. M any of the public and private collections around South Africa contain examples of what have come to be called 'fertility dolls': small, usually anthropomorphic forms fabricated by women, with a believed ceremonial use in aspects of the matu- ration and identity of women. It is within this defini- tion that the selection of material for the exhibition and this volume is made. This definition points to a wide scope of objects and practices; suggesting not categories of one type of thing, but a range of manifestations of fertility and its representation across southern Africa. At one end of this scale, these objects can be playthings, not unlike the kinds of figures which are used in games of socialisation all over the world, where young girls mimic the actions of their mothers in nursing and caring for infants. At the other extreme are objects used by adults in the performance of specific rituals. The former deal with imagination and projection, the latter can function as intermediaries between living and dead - between women and their powers to reproduce. In most cases the figures form part of a system of metaphorical thought centring around fertility. Some figures are apparently the manifesta- tions of wished-for children, and are named and nursed as such, but they also represent women of childbearing age, rather than babies. Some figures function as tools of instruction to young initiates, used by tutors in enactments of sexual and social roles. Some figures apparently have a number of functions, which change with the needs of their maturing owner. Each essay in this volume explores the evidence for fertility Images in a particular region or time in southern Africa, using the loose definition of miniature form with associations of fertility. In some cases they trace relationships across ethnic or regional lines. In some cases the forms are read as metaphors, and rich layers of association are revealed from the form that the figures take, the materials from which they are made, the words with which they are associated. Sometimes they refer to forms which are attributed in local knowledge with a historical role in fertility, but which in the South Africa of today communicate different messages to a widely different market. In some cases they challenge the very nation of this category as a useful tool.

Soft cover. Condizione: Fair. Arthur B. Davies; K.R. Chamberlain; Boardman Robinson; Arthur Young; Maurice Sterne; Cornelia Barns (illustratore). 1st Edition. New York: The Masses Publishing Company, 1917. The April, 1917 issue (Volume IX, Number 6, whole number 70). Quarto, illustrated stapled wraps, 42 pp.; this is a scarce survivor of the smaller-format issues (i.e., no longer folio size) which were issued late in the life The Masses. 1917 was the last year of publication, and by the time of this issue, there were only months left. Just Fair, due to the absence of the front cover and the separation of the first page from the remaining textblock with rear cover - all of which is itself in Very Good condition, by any periodical standard. As the very inexpensively-produced budget-of-the-heart icon The Masses was, it no doubt deserves its own grading standard, but there is none such. Some small scale chipping on page 3 and rear cover, 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 officially shut down by the U.S. Government in 1918, ostensibly on the basis of postal regulations (though it had already suspended publication in late 1917), following 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 April, 1917 included Eastman, John Reed; Louise Bryant; Floyd Dell; Howard Brubaker; Robert Hillyer; Louis Untermeyer; Hutchins Hapgood; Ruza Wenclaw; Leslie Nelson Jennings; Robert H. Lowie; Charles W. Wood; Jane Whitaker; Anne Arnold; Henry Reich, Jr.; Dorothea Gay; Franklin Van Wert; David Rosenthal; Elizabeth Fox; and Nina Bull. Art was contributed by Arthur B. Davies; K.R. Chamberlain; Boardman Robinson; Arthur Young; Maurice Sterne; and Cornelia Barns. Check out all of these names. An extraordinarily rare piece of American publishing and political history.
