Clockwise from top left, their glass Glaucus atlanticus (the blue sea dragon); Octopus salutii (spider octopus); Stiliger ornatus (sea slug); and the sea anemone Phyllactis praetexta.Credit…President and Fellows of Harvard College; Photos by Joe Michael

Lisa Congdon's "The Opposite of Sorrow."
Currently on view at Stephanie Chefas Projects in Portland, Oregon until February 11th, 2023 is artist Lisa Congdon's solo exhibition, "The Opposite of Sorrow."
Entirely created in 2022, the work reflects Congdon's striking visual language of radiant color, graphic pattern, and folk art influence. Symbols of growth, connectedness, flow, and adventure cultivate an insightful parallel to the artist's own journey and her perennial interaction with these very same themes.

On this day, 4 October 1936, Oswald Mosley’s British Union of Fascists planned to march through a predominantly Jewish section of East London, instead the Battle of Cable Street occured. The fascists were met by over 100,000 local residents and workers who – insistent that ‘They shall not pass!’ – fought both the blackshirts and the police protecting them, forcing the march to be abandoned. Reg Weston who was there, described what happened when the fascists and their police escort met the crowds, including many women and dockworkers: “The fascists were assembling by the Royal Mint and police started to make baton charges, both foot and mounted, to try to clear a way for them to escort a march. They did not succeed. A barricade started to go up. A lorry was overturned, furniture was piled up, paving stones and a builders yard helped to complete the barrier. The police managed to clear the first, but found a second behind it and then a third. Marbles were thrown under the hooves of the police horses; volleys of bricks met every baton charge.” Meanwhile, women stood at the windows of local tenements, hurling missiles at police, and heading downstairs to pursue officers who fled. Eventually, Weston explained: “the Metropolitan Police chief, who had been directing operations, told Sir Oswald it would be impossible for him to have his march through the East End to his proposed rally in Victoria Park. The uniformed Blackshirts formed up and marched. But they marched west not east. They went through the deserted City of London and ended up on the Embankment, where they just dispersed — defeated.” Learn more about Cable Street, and the fight against Mosley in the 1940s in our podcast episodes 35-37: https://workingclasshistory.com/2020/02/17/e35-37-the-43-group/ https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/2099006093617863/?type=3

Publishers’ Binding Thursday
This week’s publishers’ binding continues with the summer theme we’ve had this week. It is The Keeper of the Bees by Indiana author, photographer, and naturalist Gene Stratton-Porter (1863-1924). The Keeper of the Bees was published in 1925 by The McCall Company, publishers of McCall’s Magazine (which Stratton-Porter also wrote for) and printed at The Country Life Press in Garden City, N.Y.
The book features some lovely floral decoration printed on the initial pages of the book, as well as on the endpapers. The decorations are by Lee Thayer (1874-1973), an artist and author of mystery novels. The illustrations of the text are by artist Gordon Grant (1875-1962). The book from front to back is just lovely!
