Dorothea McCoy (1897-1967) was an Oakland artist. Her work was generally landscapes, focusing on East Bay and Contra Costa scenes. These works are some of her unsigned art from her studio at the time of her death.
An unsigned document provides workshop reports and notes from the plenary session of the Revolutionary People’s Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia held Sept. 5-7, 1970 for the upcoming Constitutional Convention scheduled in Washington, D.C. Nov. 27-29, 1970.
The convention was an attempt by the Black Panther Party to unite disparate elements of a larger “movement” and provide a revolutionary blueprint for future struggle.
The Washington convention faltered when a large venue could not be secured due in part to FBI and other federal interference.
The Washington convention concluded without formalizing a revolutionary constitution.
The workshop reports include the following areas:
Women
Gay Men
Lesbian
Control of the means of production
Control and use of the land
Control and use of the military
Internationalism
Self determination for minorities
Self determination for street people
The family and the rights of children
Revolutionary Artist
Religious Oppression/New Humanism
Drugs
Health
Noticeably absent was any discussion of the environment nor a specific workshop on law enforcement, education, housing, guaranteed national income, or social security/pensions.
Shortly after the convention, the Black Panther Party underwent a split between elements around Eldridge and Kathleen Cleaver who advocated immediate armed struggle and most of the rest of the Panther leadership who favored a community based effort. The FBI’s Cointelpro program helped to foster the split.
The Panther Party went into a long decline after the split.

CRUMB R. ROBERT-AUTHENTIC UNSIGNED LITHO ON CANVAS -20 X 16 INCHES-FRAMED-EXTREMELY RARE!!!
The silkscreen was made originally as a giant decalcomonia remember those? Like a fake tattoo. You used to be able to wet them and slide off the image onto your skin. Same concept, except the decal was designed to be dipped in a big pail of water and slide off the backing paper to be applied to the side of a van.
Except I saved this one. And kept it in a frame. The ripples are the backing paper. It was a kind of heavy duty butcher paper with a smooth side the image was printed to. The medium was a kind of vinyl ink.
The original was also used to make tee-shirts (red on white). I have the original, given to me by Robert Crumb, and it's not for sale.
Item specifics
20"W x 16"H, printed on white canvas and stretched on a 2-inch FRAME.
This is an original print from the most celebrated – and the most imitated of the Zap Comix pantheon. If you know the Crumb canon, you know these have never been published. See my story below.
ROBERT CRUMB UN-SIGNED PRINT
Drawn in New York City on a Visit to Geo. DiCaprio and Me, a pair of charming Crumb crustaceans -- comix art in miniature form.
OK, so there's a story behind this piece. Back in 1975, we were all living in a loft in the West Village – my college chum George DiCaprio and his wife Irmalin and their little 1-year-old Leo, my two cabdriving buddies Doug and Scott, and me. It was a communal situation, each of us with his own corner of the huge former industrial space. George was the guru of our intellectual cadre, based as it was on things subterranean and artistic. The intersection of William Burroughs, William Shakespeare and William Blake with a little bit of Tim Leary thrown in. George was already active in the comix subculture that would one day become his full-time job. He'd already put out the first issue of Greaser, a New York answer to the Bay-area graphic tomes that were all the rage.I remember it was a hot New York summer when we got a 2-week visit from Robert Crumb and his Cheap Suit Serenaders sideckick Robert Armstrong, illustrator-maven of Mickey Rat. My buddy Scott gave up his room for the visiting royalty and Crumb expressed his appreciation by making a couple of illustrations that Scottie could use for his lobster clambake business out on Long Island. He did wind up using one of these, the man eating the lobster, as the logo for the outfit. I designed a silkscreen press and we made up tee shirts with the image that all the workers wore as they brought this big step van around to Hamptons estates doing their mobile catering thing.
I also made up a huge silkscreen decal that we plastered to the side of this step van. I still have one of these in a frame after all these years. And I have the original transfers from Crumb's pen-and-ink drawings on plain paper, which we used to make the silkscreen masters. Those silkscreen frames are long gone but I kept the master prints used to make 'em in a cellophane envelope all these years in my zippered loose-leaf journal. There are two of them – two the world – and they are not for sale.
The (unsigned) liquor department is right in the front left corner of the store, right next to the left-hand entrance. This seems like a rather odd location to me (and also potentially theft-prone -- they had the expensive stuff in locked cases along the front end).
An unsigned flyer circa 1967 urges men reporting for their induction into the U.S. Armed Forces to walk away and contact peace groups for draft counseling. It finishes by urging the men to “Seize the Time, Resist Illegitimate Authority.”
The flyer lists a. number of peace groups to contact, along with their phone numbers, including The Washington Peace Center, George Washington Draft Counseling, Washington Draft Information, the Washington Free Clinic and Montgomery County Draft Counseling.

Unsigned, but with an attribution written by his daughter Muriel on the reverse.
Martin Harvey has written on the window "Ye Olde Curiosities Shop". This reversed copy shows that he didn't get the letter "S" quite right.
In 1885 Martin Harvey was setting up his own home in London for the first time. He wrote to my great-grandfather (his nephew) asking him to "see what your old boys in Poplar can do and drop me a line" about obtaining some items of furniture.
Included in the list of furniture - and visible in this picture - is a brass fender for which he was prepared to pay fifteen shillings.
If you can identify the scene from Dickens' book, please let me know.
An unsigned call for Montgomery County, Md. students to rally at Springbrook High School May 8, 1970 to protest the killing of four students at Kent State University during an anti-Vietnam War demonstration.
The flyer also calls upon students to attend a memorial service in New York City and to also participate in a University of Maryland rally along with canvassing, picketing and leafleting.
The Kent State shootings, also known as the May 4 massacre and the Kent State massacre, were the killings of four and wounding of nine other unarmed Kent State University students by the Ohio National Guard on May 4, 1970 in Kent, Ohio, 40 miles south of Cleveland.
The killings took place during a peace rally opposing the expanding involvement of the Vietnam War into neutral Cambodia by United States military forces as well as protesting the National Guard presence on campus. The incident marked the first time that a student had been killed in an anti-war gathering in United States history.
Twenty-eight National Guard soldiers fired approximately 67 rounds over a period of 13 seconds, killing four students and wounding nine others, one of whom suffered permanent paralysis. Students Allison Beth Krause, 19, Jeffrey Glenn Miller, 20, and Sandra Lee Scheuer, 20, died on the scene, while William Knox Schroeder, 19, was pronounced dead at Robinson Memorial Hospital in nearby Ravenna shortly afterward.
Krause and Miller were among the upward of 300 students who gathered to protest the expansion of the Cambodian Campaign, which President Richard Nixon had announced in an April 30 television address one week earlier. Scheuer and Schroeder were in the crowd of several hundred others who had been observing the proceedings at distances of more than 300 feet from the firing line; like most of the observers, they were watching the protest during a break between their classes.
The fatal shootings triggered immediate and massive outrage on campuses around the country. More than 4 million students participated in organized walk-outs at hundreds of universities, colleges and high schools, the largest student strike in the history of the United States at that time.
The outrage over the shootings reached down to high school students like those at Springbrook, who staged a strike as well.
Eleven days after the Kent State shootings, two students were killed by police at Jackson State University.
The Jackson State killings occurred on Friday, May 15, 1970, at Jackson State College (now Jackson State University) in Jackson, Mississippi. On May 14, 1970, city and state police confronted a group of Black students in their dorm room. Shortly after midnight, the police opened fire, killing two students and injuring twelve.
“Remember Kent and Jackson State” became a rallying cry over the next few years at antiwar demonstrations that receded after the U.S. combat role was ended with the Paris Peace Accords in January 1973.

An unsigned and undated flyer (circa April 1970 and probably published by the Panthers) is addressed primarily to the black community and calls for rallying around the Black Panther Party New Haven 9 that included Panther chair Bobby Seale.
The flyer specifically addresses criticism from some sectors of the black community over the support of the Panthers’ white allies and is published just before a mass rally to coincide with the opening of the trial of Seale and Ericka Huggins.
Ericka Huggins, a D.C. native who was a New Haven, Ct. Panther leader, and Seale were charged with the murder and kidnapping of an alleged police informant, Alex Rackley.
Huggins spent two years on jail awaiting trial that included time spent in solitary confinement.
Seale was one of the Chicago 8 conspiracy defendants charged with fomenting disorders at the 1968 Democratic Convention. Seale was bound and gagged during the trial after Judge Julius Hobson repeatedly denied his requests to select his own counsel.
On November 5, 1969, Judge Julius Hoffman sentenced him to four years in prison for 16 counts of contempt, each count for three months of his imprisonment because of his outbursts during the trial, and eventually ordered Seale severed from the case, leading to the proceedings against the remaining defendants being renamed the "Chicago Seven
While serving his four-year contempt sentence, Seale was put on trial again in 1970 in the New Haven Black Panther trials.
A nationwide campaign to free the two Panther leaders was carried out after their arrests sparking the cry “Free Bobby, Free Ericka; Stop the War Against Black America!” More than 15,000 rallied May 1, 1970 in support of the Panthers surrounded by police and U.S. military forces.
The origins of the case began In 1969 when some members of the New Haven Black Panthers killed Alex Rackley, whom they suspected of being an informant. Huggins, along with Black Panther Party co-founder Bobby Seale, was charged with murder, kidnapping, and conspiracy.
The trial sparked protests across the country about whether the Panthers would receive a fair trial and the jury selection would become the longest in state history. In May 1971 the jury deadlocked 11 to 1 for Seale’s acquittal and 10 to 2 for Huggins' acquittal. Prosecutors dropped the charges shortly afterward.
Seale was cleared on appeal in 1972 of the contempt charges in the Chicago Conspiracy trial and the appeals court criticized Judge Hoffman for denying Seale the right to choose his own counsel.

An unsigned and undated flyer following the Black Panther Party sponsored Philadelphia plenary session of the Revolutionary People's Constitutional Convention in September 1970.
Thousands had rallied in Philadelphia and it was expected that the Washington, DC convention would be the culmination of an effort to forge a revolutionary program and unite many of the disparate sections of the American left under one banner.

...on a car parked in front of the owner's house. Hmm. Selfish, much? (Camera phone shot)
(n.b. for those not residents of the Boston area: in many towns around here, once one shovels out an on-street parking spot after a snowstorm, one "marks" it with something to indicate that you shoveled the spot and you fully intend it to be available for parking when you return. Supposedly this custom is acceptable for up to 48 hours after the storm, though I've seen spots "claimed" for as much as a week, even though the cleared snow was probably shoveled into another nearby spot. The "less friendly" methods of revenge for "stealing" such marked spots include scratching the paint of the car with a key or letting the air out of tires.)

Ex Leu-M&M sale 1974, Kunstfreund, 121. The influence of the facing, helmeted head of Athena engraved by Eucleidas for tetradrachms at Syracuse (Rizzo pl. 43, 21-22; an example of which is lot 49 in this sale) is demonstrated by the fact that it was the model for this drachm struck from unsigned dies. The composition is identical, differing only in the fine details due to the smaller scale of the work. The Eucleidas portrait was also used for hemidrachms of the same emission, which are paired with a reverse showing a chariot scene. The advancing warrior on this drachm is identified as the hero Leukaspis based upon an inscription in the exergue which rarely is visible on the known examples. The reason for the selection of this type may be historical, as Diodorus informs us that Leukaspis was a Sican who was killed in battle by Heracles. During the turbulent age when this drachm was struck, Syracuse needed every ally it could muster, and an overture like this might have been meant to curry support among the indigenous Sican population.

Blinder are an unsigned three-piece grunge band from Brighton who put on a dynamic live performance. Guitarist and singer Schosti constantly struts around the stage and so I wanted to capture some of that movement. I was particularly pleased with this shot because I was trying out the effect of combining a slow shutter speed together with zooming out rapidly to produce the motion-artefact.

Strobist info:
This shot was taken at stage right.
Main light was a speedlight pointing at the front of the stage
Two other speedlights were positioned at the back of the stage on the left and the right, gelled red and magenta
Triggered wirelessly by Commlite Comtrig T320's
Shutter speed was 1/25
An unsigned, short pamphlet lists a calendar of planned anti-Vietnam War events in the greater Washington, D.C. area for a spring 1972 “People’s Offensive.”
Given the list of non-violent civil disobedience activities and the recognition of Ho Chi Minh’s birthday, it was probably published by the People’s Coalition for Peace and Justice (PCPJ) or one of its affiliates.
The antiwar movement had broken into two major coalitions at this point—PCPJ which raised issues besides ending the war in its demands (such as justice for black Americans and an end to poverty) and sponsored civil disobedience and the National Peace Action Coalition (NPAC) for which the Vietnam War was its single issue and did not support civil disobedience.
The two groups’ slogans differed also.
PCPJ favored “Sign the Treaty”—the People’s Peace Treaty negotiated between North and South Vietnamese and American students and supported by Provisional Revolutionary Government leaders.
Whereas NPAC favored “Out Now.”
Two historically rival groups also split between the two coalitions—The Communist Party USA supporting the PCPJ and the Trotskyist Socialist Workers Party favoring NPAC.

A unsigned, undated three-page flyer (issued between May 8 and 10, 1970 and confirmed to have been issued by members of the student strike committee) dubbed “Commuter’s Newsletter” recounts a faculty assembly vote at the University of Maryland College Park to endorse an immediate end to the war in Vietnam, opposing repression against the Black Panther Party and urging the school administration to keep the school facilities open during the student strike.
Demonstrations against the Vietnam War and a student strike began at the school May 1, 1970 after President Richard Nixon ordered U.S. troops to invade Cambodia-widening the war. A national student strike was called May 4, 1970, the same day that the Ohio National Guard gunned down four students and wounded nine others at Kent State University in Ohio.
Students were asked to attend a meeting scheduled for May 11, 1970. The flyer also calls for students to support a liberal grading plan for classes of those engaged in the student strike.
The last page of the flyer reprints the faculty resolutions adopted at an assembly of 1,000 faculty members at Cole Field House May 7, 1970. The assembly was watched by 7,000 students in the stands.
The grading proposal advocated by the student strike committee was called the Chapeles proposal--so named for the government and politics professor who introduced it to the faculty assembly.
The alternative proposal was called the Alyward proposal named after a speech professor who chaired an ad hoc committee that developed it.
Both proposals protected striking students by offering options to complete their classes. The strikers’ proposal was more liberal and contained more safeguards against right-wing professors who may seek to punish strikers.
At a faculty assembly meeting, the more conservative Alyward proposal was adopted by the faculty 1583-698.
The strike, mass demonstrations and confrontations with the police and National Guard continued until May 22, 1970. The Guard occupied the campus until spring classes and exams were officially over.
