1860217209Japan. Circa 1860. Two black and white woodblock kawarabans 22.4 x 30cm occasional light creasing but overall very good. These two kawaraban present vocabulary lists comparing Japanese with six foreign languages: American Russian British Dutch Chinese and French. Alongside each vocabulary list a small portrait of a "typical" man from the respective country is provided with the country's capital indicated. For instance an American soldier is shown holding a gun with Washington listed as the capital while a Russian officer is depicted with a sword and St. Petersburg is named as Petoruku the capital. <br> <br>The vocabulary lists themselves are quite difficult to interpret raising the possibility that some of the words may be fabricated or inaccurate. However in the American section a few recognisable words such as "silver" and "coin" appear to have been transcribed phonetically into Japanese. . unknown

186013891860. Pencil on cream-colored oak tag 10 1/4 x 5 3/8 inches 260 x 136 mm. Scattered light gray discoloration throughout rubbing with some small areas of associated loss in the lower left image area at the sheet edge. Inscriptions in pencil on the verso including an illegible signature. This charming landscape features the structure now known as the Worplesdon Place Hotel near Guildford Surrey. The house is of notable historical significance and it is registered to have been built in about 1845 by Sir William Bovill. Initially called Worplesdone Lodge the grand manse served as a private residence for the next 100 years and was owned by several notable people. In the 1950s it became a hotel and still operates in this manner today. Here we see the house soon after its completion with St. Mary the Virgin Church seen on the hill in the distance. unknown

18993392Denver: Privately Printed 1899. First Edition. Very good. 8vo. 215 x 139 mm. 76 pp. photographic text illustrations some full-page. Original green printed wrappers slightly soiled worn and chipped at head and tail pencil inscription on back wrapper SEE IMAGES internally unmarked and unspoiled. NOT ex-library! A remarkable account of an itinerant teenage girl in the the far west very well written and informative. This slender privately published volume has received far too little attention by historians.<br/><br/>The author was a genuine early western "army brat" who except for two years in the East at boarding school grew up "on an Indian pony" in remote Western army posts where her father served as a major in the 7th Cavalry. Mary's high-spirited account commences in Rawlins Wyoming with her arrival by train from the East and boarding school with her mother and a female servant. A grizzled peg-legged stage driver meets the ladies with an army ambulance photo included to drive them overland 150 miles to join Mary's father at Fort Washakie. It does not take very long for Mary to flee the confined ambulance and her female companions and grab the reins from the driver. Their stops along the route are Sheep's Ranch inhabited by a lone coyote; Lost Soldier Ranch "a small pile of low adobe buildings unsightly and gray with dust; not a tree or green thing in sight"; Sweetwater Ranch "much of the land being fenced off with the deadly barbed wire allow no herds of antelope and deer as found in my girlhood"; and Wind River Ranch dangerous ascent down steep Beaver Hill imperiled further by a rattlesnake that spooked the mules. <br/><br/>In an amusing but instructive anecdote Mary tells of their overnight sojourn at the rough headquarters of Lost Soldier Ranch whose owner Tom proudly relates how he bought the ranch with savings from working as a cowpuncher. The ranch had two large rooms one for sleeping and the other a bar-kitchen that reeked of beer "Think of it! Beer for breakfast beer for luncheon beer for dinner". The sleeping quarters contained four enormous beds each large enough to hold six men. Tom had thoughtfully partitioned off one bed for the ladies making a privacy screen with five-foot paper-thin boards for security there was a big glittery bowie knife under the bed and light consisted of a candle in a broken beer bottle. Mary's mother and the servant were so horrified at the immodesty of the sleeping arrangement that Tom in a gesture of true ranching hospitality graciously agreed that he and his cowboys would sleep in the other room on the floor.<br/><br/>From the Dorothy Sloan Collection of Women in the West. <br/><br/>Graff 1251.
