1900009646The <i>Virginia's</i> guest register is a bound leather book measuring approximately 8.5" x 10.5" with approximately 250 gilt-edged pages. About 75 of those pages are filled with notes signatures and drawings by visitors and passengers. The cover is adorned with enameled metal ornaments in the shape of New York and Manhattan Yacht Club burgees. The frontispiece appears to be hand-painted and shows the same two burgees with text reading "Steam Yacht Virginia". All of the entries are in ink. In nice shape.<br /><br /> The <i>Virginia </i>was an incredibly luxurious 441-ton steam yacht built in 1899 at Bath Maine for the New York department store magnate Isaac Stern. <br /><br /> Entries in its guest book begin in February of 1900 and contain messages from about 400 people from around the world. I noticed notations from Belgium Cyprus Egypt England including the Isle of Wight Germany Greece India Turkey and the U.S. East Coast in a variety of languages including Arabic English French German Greek and Japanese. <br /><br />Some signatures are from diplomats consuls foreign ministers military officers and no doubt quite a number of wealthy businessmen financiers and socialites. <br /><br />Many of the entries refer to attendance at specific events like the Hudson-Fulton Celebration including its Naval Parade the International Yacht Race of 1903 and Yale-Harvard Races. The last entry in the guest book is dated September 25 1910 just before Stern's death. <br /><br /> The accompanying first edition book <i>Ten Thousand Miles in a Yacht</i> chronicles a trip on the <i>Virginia</i> organized by "Commodore" E. C. Benedict a New York financier who chartered the vessel from Stern to make the cruise with ten friends and a crew of 33 officers and men between November 1904 and January 1905. Benedict felt his own yacht was not up to the voyage. Apparently Stern retained the guest book during the voyage as no entries were made during that time. <br /><br />Contemporary newspaper articles suggest that following Stern's death Benedict purchased the vessel after first chartering it once more from Stern's estate to undertake a second Amazon River voyage. He in turn sold the vessel to F. K. Vanderbilt the grandson of Cornelius. During World War One it was acquired by the U.S. Navy on a free-lease renamed the <i>U.S.S. Vedette</i> and deployed on patrol duty escorting convoys in the Atlantic where it rescued survivors from a torpedoed Greek ship as well as a disabled French seaplane and its crew. Following the war the yacht was returned to Vanderbilt.<br /><br /> Isaac Stern and his brothers sons of German-Jewish immigrants opened a one-room dry goods store in Buffalo New York in 1867 and moved their operation to New York City not far from Washington Square Park the following year. They relocated to 22nd Street near Madison Square Park and continually enlarged their business until it became an enormous and elegant six-story department store known for selling a wide range of goods from working-class merchandise to elegant Parisian fashions coveted by New York's wealthiest women. After the business was purchased by the Allied Stores Corporation Stern's acquired a number of defunct Gimbles and Gertz stores throughout the region. Allied Stores was in turn acquired by Federated Department Stores which in 2001 converted most Stern's stores into Macy's or Bloomingdale's and closed the rest. <br /><br /> A unique first-hand testament to the life of the ultra-rich in the early pre-World War One years in New York City. hardcover books

1848009349Forsyth County Georgia 1848. Unbound. Very good. <br /><br />In this one-page document bondsmen pledge $100 as a guarantee that: <p style="margin-left:3%; margin-right:3%;">"Adam Campbell shall personally appear before the Superior Court when held for said County on the fourth Monday in August next then and there to answer . . . for and concerning the offence of a Misdemeanor for furnishing a certain negro man slave by the name of Buc the property of one Captain McQuering with spiritous liquor for his own use. . . ."<p>Although during the earliest days of slavery in the American colonies slaves were permitted to use alcohol and beer in ceremonies and rituals that they had practiced in Africa as their numbers increased colonial governments began passing laws regulating the practice. By the middle of the 18th century most colonies were severely limiting slaves' access to liquor "based on the notion that Blacks were too irresponsible to be trusted with the use of alcohol or fear that Blacks would be less accepting of the conditions of their servitude more difficult to control and more prone to violence. Concern regarding mass drunkenness and potential revolt was heightened following Nat Turner's and Denmark Vessey's revolts." See Christmom's "Historical Overview of Alcohol in the African American Community" in <i>Journal of Black Studies</i> Jan. 1995. <br /><br />From the size of Campbell's bond it would appear that he may have previously been convicted for the same crime as in 1848 the Georgia Code specified that if any "person whatsoever shall sell to or furnish any slave . . . spirituous liquor wines cider or any intoxicating liquors for his own use or for the purpose of sale such person so offending shall upon conviction thereof pay a fine of not less than ten dollars nor more than fifty dollars for the first offence and upon a second conviction to be subject to a fine and imprisonment in the common jail of the county at the discretion of the court not to exceed sixty days of imprisonment and five hundred dollars fine. . . ." <br /><br />Rather scarce. At time of listing there are two similar documents for sale in the trade and the Rare Book Hub shows two have been sold at auction. OCLC shows three similar documents are held in institutional collections. <br /><br /> books

188236736New York: Imprinted by the Press of Francis Hart & Co. for Charles Pratt & Co. Christmas 1882. 8vo 20.6 cm; 8.125". 6 997 7 pp. <br><br>Promotional gift book created by Charles Pratt & Co. for "patrons of ours already or shall become such hereafter" to celebrate the Christmas season p. 5. The text contains a variety of poems and songs some about Christmas some not from Longfellow Robert Burns Edmund Clarence Stedman Keats and more. A surprising number of poems discuss death and one from the Cottonian MS. beseeches women not to be "wilful wives."<br>Â Â Â Â => Following the poetry section there is a series of advertisements for products such as Pratt's Astral Oil and double-deodorized benzine. This is an interesting attractive little relic of an era when manufacturers of such humble products sought surprisingly often to associate themselves with Much Higher Things often going to real trouble and expense to do so! Beige printed wrappers with "1888" written on the front cover in ink and a small pink stain at top edge; light age-toning.

196825724New York: AIDART Advanced Institute for Development of American Repertory Theatre. Near Fine. 1968-1970. Vol. 1 No. 1 - Vol. 3 No. 3. Stapled wraps. all issues in uniformly nice condition with just a touch of wear along the spines of a few and a single inked note on the rear cover of one; six of the nine have the original subscriber's address label affixed to the rear cover. B&W photographs The first nine issues of this very content-rich quarterly newsletter devoted to the repertory theatre scene in mostly America. All issues are either 16 or 20 pages in length and feature primarily stories often with interviews about notable individuals or theatre companies as well as about the general state of repertory theatre. Although the focus isn't usually on individual plays the first issue does contain a great feature on "Creating 'The Great White Hope'" including comments by playwright Howard Sackler director Edwin Sherin and other members of the production team. Articles and features in other issues include: "Robert Macbeth and The New Lafayette Theatre"; "Robert Hooks and The Negro Ensemble Company"; "William Ball and ACT"; a profile of The Minnesota Theatre Company co-founded by Tyrone Guthrie; "Theatre of Revolution"; "Confessions of a Playwright" by William Murray; interviews with Joseph Papp and Gordon Davidson; "The ANTA Theatre: A Home in New York" a conversation with Jean Dalrymple and Alfred deLiagre; an article on the Nationaltheatre in Mannheim Germany; "Margo Jones: Legacy and Legend" by J. Wesley Zeigler. The editor of the first five issues was Leota Diesel; for the remainder J. Wesley Zeigler. The newsletter ceased publication after Vol. 4 No. 3 so this set lacks only the final four issues. These provide an interesting snapshot of a period in which the federal government had only recently begun to pay some serious attention to arts funding the National Endowment for the Arts had been established by Congress in 1965 and theatre companies were always scrambling to stay afloat and claim their piece of a never-big-enough pie; several articles in these issues discuss financial tax and other "survival" issues. Thus it ever was. . AIDART (Advanced Institute for Development of American Repertory Theatre) paperback books
