Cabinet Card Portraits in the Collection of Radical Publisher Benjamin R. Tucker

Henrik Ibsen | Verso (Cabinet Card Portrait, Benjamin R. Tucker papers, 1860s-1970s, bulk (1870s-1930s)). From Cabinet Card Portraits in the Collection of Radical Publisher Benjamin R. Tucker. "...Benjamin Ricketson Tucker (1854-1939) published The Radical Review from 1877 to 1878, and the anarchist magazine Liberty from 1881 to 1908. The journal’s banner read 'Liberty – Not the daughter but the mother of order,' signaling Tucker's stance as a philosophical or individualist anarchist. His magazine was the first to publish George Bernard Shaw in the U.S., and to translate Pierre Joseph Proudhon. Tucker also published other works considered radical at the time, such as Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass, Tolstoy's Kreutzer Sonata, and Oscar Wilde's Ballad of Reading Gaol."
