Archive of San Francisco California 19th century Photographs. Author: [San Francisco], Photographs Title: Archive of San Francisco California 19th century Photographs Publication: 1860. Archive of Three Albumen Stereoview Photographs showing San Francisco city views as well as a Californian Redwood being cut by a band saw. 1870s Mounted to original photographers cardboard measuring 7 x 3.5 inches. The first shows a view of Montgomery street from the vantage point of Market, the packed dirt road busy with horse drawn carriages and small figures crossing the sidewalks. The second shows Kearney street, figures visible and 19 century buildings lining the road, their stone fronts ornately crafted. The final view shows a California redwood being cut by a band saw, its trunk laid open to expose the vast history of its many rings. Stereoviews, mounted to cardboard with two identical images side by side, were designed to mimic 3 dimensionality, a technology popular in the early days of photography. California in the early twentieth century was an object of fascination for the rest of the country who heard stories of giant trees and vast landscapes and wanted to see it for themselves, if only in these pictures. The cardboard of one image is slightly bowed from age. Sunning to the other two images. Details are clear and features of the city recognizable. Overall very good condition.

Archive of of five original oversize photographs of Frank Avilez, the San Francisco “Black-Gloved Rapist, ” 1947. Author: Frank Avilez (subject) Title: Archive of of five original oversize photographs of Frank Avilez, the San Francisco “Black-Gloved Rapist, ” 1947 Publication: San Francisco: San Francisco Examiner, 1947. Description: Archive consisting of five vintage oversize photographs of Frank Avilez, the San Francisco “Black Gloved Rapist, ” 1947. All five with dated San Francisco Examiner Library Stamps on the verso, one “July 13 1947, ” three “July 14, 1947, ” and one “Aug 8 1947, ” four with “Frank Avilez” stamps on the verso, one with the stamp of photographer “Joe Farrell” on the verso, and two with San Francisco newspaper clippings of the same photographs affixed to the verso. In the first seven months of 1947, serial rapist Frank Avilez terrorized San Francisco, breaking into his victims’ homes at midnight, wearing black gloves and carrying a pencil flashlight (seen in the July 13 booking photograph), earning him the moniker of the “Black-Gloved Rapist” in the San Francisco press. On July 12, he was apprehended, and after several hours of questioning from police inspectors and assistant district attorneys, confessed to fourteen rapes and attempted rapes. When asked about his motive by the San Francisco Chronicle, the married 24-year-old simply replied, I just didn’t like staying home nights. Avilez had an IQ in the 70s and, according to his psychiatric records, had a mental age of a ten year old. The case would prove to be a pivotal one in regards to the role of the public defender in California courts. Avilez’s family hired the young trial lawyer Melvin Belli to represent Avilez, who notified the district attorney of his representation, and asked the case be held over until the family arrived for the next day’s arraignment. Informed the judge of Belli’s representation, but no one told the defendant or the public defender, Gerald Kenny, who assumed Avilez was his client. After a brief discussion in which Avilez told Kenny he wanted to plead guilty to the 32 charges, Kenny and Avilez appeared before the municipal court judge, who asked Avilez if he wanted to be represented by the public defender, he responded yes. Avilez plead guilty to seven counts of rape, four counts of attempted rape, one assault, and ten counts of burglary and robbery. He was bound over to superior court for sentencing when Belli arrived, who moved to have Avilez’s plea withdrawn. The superior court judge denied the motion, and sentenced Avilez to 440 years in prison, the longest jail sentence in San Francisco court history, at which point Avilez flew into a rage and was restrained (seen in the August 8 photograph). The case was appealed and the sentence overturned by the First District court, on the grounds that Avilez had been denied “a fair opportunity to secure the aid of counsel” and that the aid of counsel furnished was not effective and substantial. The sentence was cut to 220 years. In the 1940s the function and ethical responsibilities of a public defender in San Francisco was under debate. Was it the duty of the public defender to zealously advocate for the defendant, or is the public defender more of a partner to the prosecutor, collaborating with the D. To develop the facts and propose a fair resolution, not just in the defendant’s interest but the needs and safety of the community? The appellate court rejected the latter view, following the direction of the 1932 Supreme Court case, Powell v. Alabama, which issued a robust defense of the adversary process in the right to counsel. Melvin Belli would become a prominent US lawyer, as well as an author and actor, known as “the King of Torts, ” he was the attorney for many celebrity clients over his legal career. 3 Photographs 14 x 11 inches, 1 Photograph 12 x 11 inches, with the right edge cropped. Near Fine to Very Good, with faint creasing overall to one, and two with light creasing, some rippling, retouching by the San Francisco Examiner, and layout annotations in the margins. One with a small chip to the top center margin. Subject: Americana, California and the West, Law and Legal Interest, Oversize photographs, Photographs, Social Justice, Radical, and Proletarian Interest, True Crime. Royal Books is located in the midtown area of Baltimore, Maryland. Since 1996, we have specialized in rare books and paper relating to twentieth century literature, genre fiction, the arts, and popular culture, with a particular emphasis on cinema. All books noted as First Editions are also First Printings unless indicated otherwise. Should go directly to them. This listing was created by Bibliopolis.
