LOC Title

No vote. D.C. ballot boxes draped in black. Washington, D.C., Nov. 8. Election day was just another day for voteless District of Columbia. To impress upon Washingtonians what they are missing ballot boxes draped in black were places on the busiest corners of downtown. Members of the District League of Women's Voters attended the boxes but instead of receiving votes they handed out information on what it means to the citizens of Washington not to be able to vote. Left to right we see--Mrs.. Karl Bradford, Mrs. R. Shull, and Mrs. Henry Chalmers, 11/8/38

The Juvenile National Calendar

LOC Summary

One of only five known copies of this rare American children’s book, published in Baltimore around 1825, the Calendar describes the duties and pay of various government officials including the president, vice president, cabinet members, and Congress. In verse that celebrates learning, virtue, and patriotic spirit, the “rising generation” is offered hope that “you, if you’re good, may be President yet.” The text and twelve hand-colored engravings are the work of a Baltimore lawyer who, in his youth, wrote and drew for the publisher Fielding Lucas in exchange for law books.
