196219014Exeter NH: Philips Exeter Academy Student Peace Group N.D. but ca.1962. Two mimeographed sheets printed in black on goldenrod stock and stapled at upper left corner; 21.5cm X 28cm 8.5" X 11"; 2pp. Horizontal fold at center with minor wear and a few tiny creases to extremities; Very Good. A curious list of questions designed to prepare demonstrators or debaters for issues they might be challenged with in a public forum. The sheets are undated but appear to be compiled around the time of the Cuban Missle Crisis. No imprint but the preliminary sheet bears the rubber stamp of the Philips Exeter Academy Student Peace Group; it is unclear whether the questions were compiled by the Academy or merely used by them. The questions range from the obvious "Why are you all here" to questions of a more provocative nature "What are you a bunch of commies "Why don't you go back to Russia" and "What would you do if Russia attacks Remember Pearl Harbor". No copies located in OCLC. Philips Exeter Academy Student Peace Group unknown books

18209232London 1820. Engraving printed in bistre on linen with contemporary cloth edging tape. A beautiful ephemeral and very rare angling print on linen.<br/> <br/>At the centre of the print is a Hogarthian scene of an angler in his winter closed-season sitting-room. He is laid-up in his arm-chair with gout his foot rests on a gout stool a toddy warms on the grate above a blazing fire whilst he tries to re-live the long-gone halcyon days of summer by fishing for apples in a large coopered barrel full of water. Scattered around him are the accoutrements of his art: creels nets rods an open fly-case. This image is surrounded by a decorative border of scrolling stylised foliage. Beyond this is a surround of 13 ovals each with a picture of a different British freshwater fish giving the fish's name and the season when it can be fished joined to these ovals are shaped 'labels' that give brief details of where and when each fish is to be found what time of day it should be fished for and which hooks and flies/bait should be used. The outermost rectangular border includes the title an oval portrait of Sir Izaak Walton at each corner and a series of shaped boxes containing details of flies and baits under the headings 'Flies' 'Pastes' 'Worms' and 'Fishes and Insects'. Sir Izaak Walton 1595-1683 was the author of the most famous book on fishing and a classic of English literature: The Compleat Angler ; or the Contemplative Man's Recreation. It was written during the horrific English Civil War and was Walton's attempt to draw attention to the benevolence of a simple virtuous life. unknown books
