Approx. 28 pages filled with neat ink manuscript entries illustrated with four small original sepia photos and a hand-drawn folded map tipped to inside of front cover. Covers a little worn contents age-toned but entirely legible.<br /> <br /> § A delightfully detailed record of an amusingly rushed school trip to Ireland made by an English schoolboy in 1913. The boys and several masters departed from Stonehouse in Gloucestershire it seems likely they attended Wycliffe College prep school and travelled by train to Fishguard in Wales and from there by boat to Rosslare Harbour in Country Wexford Ireland. Then by train char-a-banc a governess cart ponies and finally boats they tore across the south of Ireland to Killarney and back in a single day. The dutiful author of the journal prepares for the trip with several lists: "General time-table" "List of required articles" including "change of socks.cup soup-plate. rug if room" "Things to be noticed" Waterford Harbour Mountains Lakes Cattle Grazing. and a very thorough plan for "Meals" cornflakes chocolate bananas squashed fly biscuits. The journal itself is neatly written and full of detail particularly of the various vehicles Irish trains get a thorough review and his glimpses of "real Ireland". Four small mounted photos show a bridge in Kerry viewed from a boat Ross Castle "A Jaunting Bar" a kind of horse-drawn carriage and happily "the Author" who appears to be in his early teens. The star of the journal is a large folding map of the trip carefully hand-drawn and keyed and mounted inside the front cover. unknown

"According to the official statistics in 1980 from August to September in 1966 a total of 1772 people including teachers and principals of many schools were killed in Beijing by Red Guards; in addition 33695 homes were ransacked and 85196 families were forced to leave the city. . The killing by the Red Guards also made an impact on several rural districts of Beijing causing the "Daxing Massacre" for example during which 325 people were killed from August 27 to September 1 in Daxing District of Beijing. . The oldest killed during the Daxing Massacre was 80 years old while the youngest was only 38 days old; 22 families were wiped out. . Scholars have also pointed out that according to the official statistics in 1985 the actual death toll during the Red August was over 10000."

In his moving introduction Mexican critic/novelist/poet Fuentes relates Kahlo's images of pain loss mutilation and transcendence to Mexico's historic cycles of revolution and reaction. Lowe author of the study Frida Kahlo ably places the journal in the context of the painter's shattered life. Sprinkled with irony black humor even gaiety and augmented with translations of the diary entries plus commentaries and photographs this volume is a testament to Kahlo's resilience and courage.
