236242London. Tinted lithograph. Image measures 12.5" x 16.75".<br/><br/> In this print a young and old fallow buck lay in a grassy field with the young buck distinguishable by his spots resting his head on the stomach of the older deer.

The deer's antlers and fur have been rendered with exquisite detail that differentiates between their two very different materials. The print is in good condition with minor stains. Wear to the margins not affecting the image.<br/><br/> unknown books

A total of 14 manuscript pages organized by year and including the article that was woven the weave pattern including colors the number of biers in the weave the size of the fabric specific weaving techniques knots etc. -- Any design element associated with the particular fabric. It begins in 1845 and is titled "Cotton" that continues for 6 pages. The next page is titled "SHAG". This completes the run of pages in the "front of the book". When turned upside down and opened from the back it begins with information from 1848 - 1856 and includes the same time of information. The format may be accounting either for multiple weavers or materials types. Some of the articles mentioned include horse blankets striped trousers diapers towels pocket handkerchiefs neck kerchiefs mixed blankets jacketing full cloth cheese cloth and more. There are four blank pages. Measures 6 3/8" x 4'. <br/><br/>On the outside cover of the album is very faint penciled name and other verbiage that most likely could be reviewed with appropriate magnification/contract images - alas it evades me.

In Dog Latin and English. A long-gone ceremony of UC Berkeley students the "Burial of Bourdon and Minto" was based on a similar tradition at Yale University. It was held annually from 1878 until 1903 and revolved around freshmen burning their textbook copies of Louis Pierre Marie Bourdon's "Elements of Algebra" and William Minto's "Manual of English Prose Composition." It also featured the ceremonial burrial of the ashes. Over the years the process became more elaborate and included a mourners' procession and a bonfire. When the festivities began spilling outside the campus onto residential streets and more and more often students became injured the university administration cancelled the ceremony. The current leaflet was the invitation to the event meant to be passed around among the students. Written mostly in Dog Latin it also included a poem in English part of which read: ".And Minto Bourdon's fate will share / To burn them well's our only care / Our authors style goes up in smoke / Our old note books we'll put in 'soak'." s. n. unknown books

267847Map. Pen and ink with watercolor. Sheet measures 8.75 x 7".<br/><br/> This minimalist schoolgirl and schoolboy manuscript map depicts European Russia. Although unlabeled the region is easily identifiable. The Black Sea and the northern half of the Caspian Sea are included near the bottom of the map. Covers the modern day nations of Ukraine Russia Belarus Lithuania Latvia Estonia Finland and parts of Poland and Sweden. The eastern boundary is placed along the Ural Mountains. The map is in good condition with minor wear along the original centerfold and some foxing. An image of a skull is drawn in pencil at the center of the map.This map dates to circa 1880 and was most likely made by a student or apprentice as training in geography drafting and penmanship. Manuscript map-making was a useful educational tool in the 19th century a period of imperialism and increased world trade in which geography grew significantly as a field of study. In the United States and northwestern Europe reform movements that sought to improve the quality and accessibility of childhood education pushed for the inclusion of geography in school curricula. One common method of teaching was the making of manuscript maps. Working from wall maps globes and atlases students were made to meticulously hand-reproduce maps in pen and ink and with watercolor. Such exercises not only provided a way to review and retain geographical knowledge but they also functioned as training in penmanship calligraphy and drafting. This map is a lovely document that straddles the line between art and geography.<br/><br/> unknown books
