American Historical Ephemera and Photography

Assortment of items, 1800s-1900s (bulk 20th-century), including autographs, documents, publications, photographs, and more, highlighted by the following:

Red string-bound scrapbook, 27pp, 14 x 11 in., identified on cover with modern label: "US Documents relating to business, stocks, bonds, etc. / High ranking officials writings. Russian and Romanian early 1800s to 1938, Scrapbook. Stalin, Lenin, Romanian Kings and Queens writings." One signature identified as Vladimir Lenin. A large number of additional items housed within such as letters, newspaper clippings, stock certificates, and more.

Typescript in Russian (not translated), approx. 22pp, 8 3/4 x 14 in. (heavy toning, brittleness, possibly incomplete). Housed in folder with manuscript notation: "this is the original of the screenplay 'Devji Gozy' [sp?] (Virgins Mountains) by the last Russian screenplay writer Eugeny Chirikov. The date is 1918. This is the first film censored out by the soviets. The film is lost now. / I published it in the The New Review #180 (New York) But this is the original print text." This note may be in the hand of Roman Borisovich Goul (1896-1986), editor of “Novyi Zhurnal” ("New Magazine" or "New Review"), the largest journal of Russian emigration.
