19168868Barbados Bermuda Antigua St. Lucia and other islands 1916. Very good . 7¼†x 10¼â€. Cloth over flexible thin card. 100 pages with 84 photographs pasted down. Most photos measure around 4†x 6†or 5†x 7†and three quarters are captioned. Very good plus: light overall wear; most photos a bit wavy with minor dark patches at edges where adhesive has bled through. <br /> <br /> This is a collection of vivid well-composed and neatly captioned photographs taken in Bermuda and several islands in the Caribbean. <br /> <br /> The album seems to have been compiled on a steamer trip and portrays a handful of white visitors and some apparent residents of the islands with a few hints as to their purpose there. Bermuda's the site for 16 of the shots; we see white women at “Mrs. Curtis' House at Sommerset†“Mr. Daws' House and Lilly Farm†the hotels “Princess†and “Frascati†and a local driver enabling “A Carriage Ride.†Five photos in Antigua reveal the “Lunatic Asylum†and “Lepper Hospital†as well as great images of natives amid a “Street Scene.†There are 28 shots from Barbados showing “School Children†natives on “Broad Street†“Cutting Sugar Cane†and “The Old Water Works.†We also see “Dr. Messiah House at the Hospital†“A Sunday Meeting at Mr. Manning's House†and natives assisting with “Mildred Bowler taking a Donkey Ride.â€<br /> <br /> Three of the eight photos at Dominic reveal a group “On Board the S.S. Caraquet†and there are lovely images “In the Rossau Valley†and “In the Garden on the Island.†The Caraquet was a Royal Mail Line ship sailing from the West Indies to Canada from the 1910s until it wrecked off Bermuda in 1923. Another image claims to show the “S.S. Guiana at St. Kits with Roosevelt on Board†a trip the former president made in 1916 which led to our date attribution. There are clipped images lauding the SS Vestris a luxury steamer that sailed from 1912 to 1928 shots of natives “Coaling at St. Lucia†views of “Monserat†and the “Island of Martinique.â€<br /> <br /> We think it's possible that these photos were taken by noted architect designer and world traveler Francis H. Bacon as the initials FHB appear in the corner of each shot. After graduating from MIT in 1877 Bacon worked on important archaeological excavations in Asia Minor and became the leading designer for renowned furniture firm A.H. Davenport and Company the namesake of the sofa. He also designed the shrine that holds the Declaration of Independence and United States Constitution in the Library of Congress. The American School of Classical Studies at Athens holds a collection of photo albums he compiled on his travels from 1895 to 1919 which included steamer trips to the Mediterranean Vienna Paris and London. Some of the images are online and while we didn't see any with an imprint that matches ours we did find an archivist's blog post that shared that Bacon's architectural designs were “easily identified by his signature initials: FHB.†We also note that Bacon bears a strong resemblance to a man seen in two of the present photos. <br /> <br /> A great collection of images from Bermuda and the Caribbean certainly worthy of and useful for further research. unknown

1639100049Small folio 11 ¼ x7 ½ early full calf ruled in blind morocco lettering piece lacking frontispiece and additional title but main title is present xvi 218 22 iv 43 pp. Edges lightly worn endpapers replaced signature ‘Q†worn in outer margin restoration to edges of title leaf and final this copy was repaired professionally in 1968. This is an interesting collection of the miscellaneous scientific writings and experiments of Francis Bacon 1561-1626 appended with his utopian work “A New Atlantis.†The book first appeared the year after his death edited and published by William Rawley but went through a number of editions reflecting the popularity of his writings. While Bacon would be well educated in his early years as the youngest son in his family he would be left without land money or position upon his father’s death in 1579. However thanks to his tremendous intellect and political skills he would have a very successful political and intellectual career and would prosper under James I. Among his many accomplishments would be obtaining the post of attorney general but bribery charges would bar him from ever holding public office again. He would publish a good deal in his later years and legend suggests that his intellectual curiosity would eventually cost him his life when he caught chill after experimenting with the impact of cold temperatures on decaying meat. More recently it has been suggested that his death was caused by “inhaling remedial substances†in an effort to improve his health. John Haviland and William Lee unknown books

1926130196New York London: D. Appleton and Company 1926. Octavo pp. 1-6 1-120 121 122: blank original decorated red cloth front and spine panels stamped in gold. First edition. First printing with "1" at base of text on page 121. Weird mystery novel. "Bacon a successful author in the first quarter of the twentieth century of fiction that was both 'popular' and 'literary' has tended to fall between these two stools in the estimate of posterity. This is unfortunate as she was a skillful craftsman and had things to say especially on the subject of the emancipated modern woman where her views manage to contain nuance skepticism and passion. She also had a recurrent interest in the supernatural as documented by Dorothy Scarborough in her important early study The Supernatural in Modern English Fiction. The main titles of relevance here are THE STRANGE CASES OF DR. STANCHON 1913 IN THE BORDER COUNTRY 1909 and the present title." - Robert Eldridge. Locke A Spectrum of Fantasy p. 26.

Rare<br /> <br /> <p>The Harvard-educated legal scholar Austin Tappan Wright spent many years developing his childhood fantasy of a place called Islandia into a utopian novel with worldbuilding to rival Tolkien's. "The author saw every view from its near detail of farms trees or gardens on to the horizon" writes his daughter Sylvia in the postscript to this book. "He knew what geological forces shaped its outline; he knew what winds were blowing and how the changes of season crept slowly over Islandia."<br /> <br /> <p>After Wright's death in a car accident in 1931 his widow and daughter began the ten-year task of pruning the manuscript into a publishable though still massive novel. The publisher's slip declares the book "one of the most exciting of our adventures in publishing." A 1942 Kirkus reviewer admitted that he expected to be "a trifle bored" but found himself deeply interested in the "well-rounded documented social studied country." Max Saxton who edited the book for Farrar & Rinehart was so fascinated by the work that he later wrote three sequels. Farrar & Rinehart Inc unknown
