Affidavit for 1863 Dispute over Rights to Mine Guano on the Pacific Islands of Jarvis and Baker--United States Guano Co. V. American Guano Company

1863022385New York. 1863. Manuscript. 12 1 /4 x 8 inch lined blue paper with light chipping at edges mild toning at bottom and previous folds. Manuscript writing on both sides of paper signed in manuscript Wm. Mitchell Referee N. Y. May 19th 1863. Document from a court case involving the American Guano Company V. United States Guano Company and the rights to mine guano on two remote Pacific Ocean Islands. From a May 1865 New York Times article: "This was an action brought to test the title to a guano island in the Pacific Ocean and to forbid the defendants from procuring any of the guano on the island." A second Island Baker Island was also litigated. The dispute dated to 1856 based upon an Act of Congress Unites States Guano Islands Act which authorized the President of the United States: 1. To assert the Jurisdiction of the United States over any guano island which might have been or should thereafter be discovered by any of its citizens; and 2. To confer upon the discoverer or his assigns the exclusive right to the guano upon such islands. In January 1859 the United States Guano Company made contracts to mine and sell Guano deposits on the two islands only to find men from the American Guano Company already occupying the islands. According to a Wiki page on Jarvis Island the American Guano Company ultimately mined guano for 20 years shipping the product to the Unites States for fertilizer. Names included in this document include Alfred Benson the President of the American Guano Company plus the surnames Lucas Baker Taylor Turner Russell and Roberts. Alfred Benson's son also played a role. The United States Guano Islands Act is still on the books just in case you sail upon an unknown island piled high in guano--you can legally seize the island as a United States Possession. ; 2 pp . unknown books

Making the Scene: A History of Stage Design and Technology in Europe and the United States

2010125665San Antonio Texas: Tobin Theater Arts Fund 2010. Hardbound. Fine well bound DJ in excellent condition. Burgundy cloth boards w/ color pictorial DJ xi 366pp profuse color and BW plates and illustrations. With bright beautiful pictures and excellent descriptions this is a fantastic book to have as reference to learn or just to keep on the coffee table and pick up at will. Theatrical scene design is one of the most beautiful varied and lively art forms. Yet there are relatively few books on the subject and almost none for a general audience that combine expansive scholarship with lavish design. Making the Scene offers an unprecedented survey of the evolving context theory and practice of scene design from ancient Greek times to the present coauthored by the world's best-known authority on the subject and enhanced by three hundred full-color illustrations. Individual chapters of the book focus on Greece Rome Medieval Europe including liturgical drama street pageants festival outdoor drama Spanish religious drama and royal entries the Italian Renaissance eighteenth-century Europe Classicism to Romanticism Realism and Naturalism Modernism and contemporary scene design. Making the Scene's authors review everything from the effects of social status on theatre design to the sea changes between Classicism Romanticism and Naturalism and the influence of perspective-based thought. Particularly intriguing is their rediscovery of lost tricks and techniques from the classical deus ex machina and special effects in coliseums to medieval roving stage wagons and the floating ships of the Renaissance to the computerized practices of today's theatres. Such ingenious techniques interwoven with the sweeping beauty of scene design through the ages combine with the keen scholarship of Oscar Brockett and Margaret Mitchell to create a book as involving as the art it showcases.
