Free Vistas, Vol II
Berkeley Heights, Oriole Press, 1937. Subtitled "A Libertarian Outlook on Life and Letters," this is a compendium of writings assembled and published by Ishill, an anarchist, at the press he founded in New Jersey. Ishill emigrated from Romania to the U.S. in 1909 and joined the Ferrer Colony, an anarchist intentional community established in 1915, which lasted for nearly 40 years. Having apprenticed to a printer before coming to the U.S., he established his own press, the Oriole Press, in New Jersey to publish anarchist and other related writings. The editions were typically very small, and he gave the works away to those who were interested or would preserve them for the future. This copy is from the collection of Walter Goldwater, a well-known radical bookseller and longtime proprietor of the University Place Book Center. One of 205 copies printed. Offsetting to endpapers, splaying to boards; a very good copy. [#033343] SOLD
