Loose pages containing 154 sepia toned or black and white gelatin silver photographs measuring between 1" x 1" and 8" x 10" with some captions. Good only with chips and tears on the album pages with very good photographs with some creasing.<br /> <br /> A photo album kept by Joseph Richardson beginning in the 1950s with some photos going through the 1980s.

Also included are some paperwork from Richardson's time studying at Seton Hall University. One photo shows a color guard with marching troops another shows a friend of Richardson posed with a new car. It appears that Richardson was a career Army man and at one point he was stationed with his family in Anchorage Alaska in the 1960s which shows the family in newly plowed roads and in winter clothes. Interspersed throughout the album are family photos most of which are between 1950 and the mid-1960s with some later photos. These include photos with children weddings and various events over two decades. One section shows Richardson his wife and their child visiting New York for the summer of 1958. Other photos show the couple at a dance which includes large images taken of couples dancing. Towards the end of the album there are postcards from Alaska including images of log cabins churches and wildlife. Later images show a few color photography from the 1980s.<br /> <br /> An interesting collection of vernacular photography depicting an African-American soldier and his home life. hardcover

1821ST12949Paris: De l'imprimerie de Plassan 1821-22. 212 x 133 mm. 8 3/8 x 5 1/4". Two volumes. <br/> Very attractive quarter calf blind-stamped in "cathedral" style over marbled boards by Thouvenin stamp-signed in gilt at foot of spine corners tipped with green vellum spine blindstamped with a design of gothic-arched windows gilt titling marbled endpapers and edges. Half title with ink inscription in French stating that this book was purchased at the sale of the library of the Duc de Coigny at Chateau de Franquetot on 24 April 1912. ◆Occasional insignificant smudges or spots of foxing the paper a little on the inexpensive side otherwise an appealing copy with virtually no signs of use.<br/> <br/> This is an early 19th century French edition of Richardson's first major work offered here in a well-preserved unusual contemporary binding and with intriguing provenance. Samuel Richardson 1679-1761 was a printer who loved to write letters and who at the age of 50 began writing novels using the epistolary form. His major works are important stepping stones toward the modern novel. Day says that "Pamela is the first great character creation of English prose fiction. As much as we may dislike her prudential morality we must recognize here a complete human being." The work initially appeared in French in 1741 shortly after its original printing in English. The unusual binding is typical of the fine work produced by Joseph Thouvenin 1779-1834 the eldest of three bookbinder brothers. Ramsden describes Thouvenin as one of the three great French binders of the Empire and Restoration periods Simier and Purgold are the others and the Walters Art Museum catalogue says that "in his heyday . . . he was the giant among Paris bookbinders." Deriving its name from the use of design motifs taken from gothic architecture the so-called "Cathedral Binding" or "Cathedral-Style Binding" was fashionable in England and France for about three decades beginning ca. 1810. In France--as here--the design was usually blocked while in England it was typically accomplished with gilt tooling. Thouvenin is sometimes credited with popularizing the style. The provenance of our copy is distinguished: it was apparently in the library of the family of the duc de Coigny 1737-1814 who was Maréchal and Peer of France. Although the duke himself was not alive to read this edition it likely was part of his descendants' library remaining on its shelf until purchased by a collector at the sale of family books nearly a century later.

1933365265Glendale CA: The Arthur H. Clark Company 1933. First Edition. Hardcover. Near fine. A.C. Greene considered The Comanche Barrier to South Plains Settlement an instant choice to be included in his book The Fifty Best Books on Texas. The book details both sides of the tragic Council House Fight of 1840 the Battle of Adobe Walls and the reluctance of the Comanches to accept Texas overtures to peace. The author tells the story of one of the most feared Indian tribes from both the perspective of the Native Americans and the Whites. This book shows the history was not one-sided and both share responsibility for the hostility and deaths that resulted. Of particular interest is the chapter on the famous Adobe Walls battle. It tells the story from the Comanche side of the battle and explains the fascinating background especially the role of Isatai the young Comanche medicine man and prophet who convincing the leaders of his magic and visions created the one final effort on the part of several tribes to reclaim their buffalo hunting grounds."—from the 1996 reissue.<br /> <br /> 424 pages plus ads. First edition first printing. A near fine copy with light wear to the spine ends a very small previous owner's name; no dust jacket as issued. This copy is generically inscribed not a particular person "Yours most sincerely Rupert N. Richardson." Signed copies are uncommon. The Arthur H. Clark Company hardcover
184815040London: Richard Bentley 1848. With 3 engraved plates 2 of which are frontispieces a large folding map and 24 text woodcuts. Contemporary half morocco and marbled boards; foxing limited to endpapers overall in excellent shape. First edition of this account of Richardson's first expedition to Africa. The idea to reach the “celebrated Oasis of Ghadames . . . amidst the most appalling desolations of the Great Saharan Wilderness†came to Richardson via the accidental reading of a brochure on a table in the Algiers public library. This glance resulted in a journey from Tunis and Tripoli in Libya to Ghadames and Ghat in the middle of the Sahara chronicled in his Travels in the treat desert of Sahara. Readers travel with Richardson and his group through cities trader routes and more oases learning the language the culture and the religion of the people whom they encounter. It is as fascinating and rich as any nineteen th-century travel narrative.<br /> <br /> A review in the Journal of the Royal Geographical Society states: “These volumes are useful contributions to our knowledge of the interior of the imperfectly known regions of Northern Africa; and they describe some hundreds of miles of desert routes over which no Europeans had previously passed as well as several of the cities of the Desert of which we had not before received accounts from European visitors†Vol. 18 p. lix. Indeed Richardson returned to the area in 1850 to cross the elevated plain of the Hammada the first European to ever do so. It was on that journey that he died of a mysterious illness.<br /> <br /> Richardson 1806-1851 was an English explorer with an ambition to propagate Christianity and suppress slavery in Africa. He frequently refers to the trans-Saharan slave trade and the position of slaves in local Tuareg communities. Richard Bentley unknown

The most substantial lexicographical undertaking in England between that of Samuel Johnson and the O.E.D. "First published as part of the Encyclopaedia Metropolitana 1818-37 it consisted of a great many illustrative quotations drawn from literature but with relatively few and brief definitions . Richardson's approach was based on the notion that quotations alone if sufficient in number could serve to elucidate 'true etymological meaning.' He went far beyond Johnson in collecting quotations beginning at the fourteenth century Johnson went back only to the end of the 16th century . Richardson sought by his vast collection of quotations to justify the preposterous theory of John Horne Tooke that each word had a single immutable meaning. In his own work each word and its derivatives were given one etymology and one meaning. His etymologies were as preposterous as his theories but his dictionary was of great interest to lexicographers because it foreshadowed the historical collections of quotations that were later to form the basis of the Oxford English Dictionary" Landau Dictionaries p. 66. Based on the "historical principle" of lexicography this work formed an important link between Johnson and the O.E.D. Kennedy 6449. <br/><br/> E.H. Butler & Co unknown books
