1818 Alsatian folk art Taufschein with Pennsylvania-German ties chicken and egg motif

145237Bas-Rhin Alsace France 1818. Broadside approx. 10Â½ Ã— 8Â¼ inches. Ink manuscript on laid paper with red ink and pencil illustrations; watermark visible. Folded with creases light soiling irregular trimming and minor edge wear not affecting text or decoration; very good. Offered with: One-page German manuscript on matching laid paper with identical watermark also dated 1818. Folded with creases and a small perforation not affecting text; very good. Curious and crudely executed folk art this 1818 German-language taufschein baptismal certificate is decorated in ink and pencil. The text records the birth in â€œDiemringenâ€ and baptism in â€œRathsweilerâ€ likely Ratzwiller a village near Diemringen in Bas-Rhin Alsace. Fitting the baptismal theme it features a chicken and egg motif symbolizing creation and new life. The opening lines in German transcription approximate read: â€œIâ€™ve been baptized and registered The Book of Life includes me now My Father will love me eternally / And be merciful to His child / God surely knows me already for a long time / My name rests in His hand.â€ Alternating lines circles and triangles frame the text in an abstract border with the chicken and egg motif placed prominently at the top. Square blocks of color in each corner may suggest a picture frame or reference the brass bosses found on elaborately bound 18th- and 19th-century Bibles. Accompanying the taufschein is a one-page untranslated German manuscript written on matching laid paper with an identical watermark also dated 1818. Both items appear to have originated in Bas-Rhin and were acquired together from an estate in Lancaster County Pennsylvaniaâ€”an area of early German-speaking settlement. The family may have emigrated from Alsace after the post-Napoleonic upheaval of 1815 when widespread political and economic instability spurred migration. The watermark on both sheets is of the â€œVryheytâ€ â€œFreedomâ€ type used in Holland and later copied in England Sweden and the United States; see Churchillâ€™s Watermarks in Paper nos. 79â€“108. The full watermarkâ€”visible on the illustrated sheetâ€”depicts a lion holding a stave within a crowned circle possibly encircled by the motto â€œPro Patria Eiusque Libertate.â€ unknown

An Account of the Late Dreadful Earthquake and Fire Which destroyed the City of Lisbon The Metropolis of Portugal. In a Letter From a Merchant Resident there To his Friend in England

3731167London: Printed. Boston; New-England Re-printed and sold by Green & Russell at their Printing-Office near the Custom-House and next to the Writing School in Queen-Street. MDCCLVI. 1756. half-title 23 1 pages. 8vo. â€œThe Second Edition.â€ In fact the First American Edition preceded by printings in London and York both dated 1755. Expertly washed conserved and stitching renewed; scattered staining. A very good copy housed In a custom cloth clamshell box with a gilt-stamped leather spine label. Partly-untrimmed. First American edition of this eyewitness account of this terrible disaster on All Saints Day November 1 1755 that shook perspective views in the Old World and the New. The Lisbon Earthquake alarmed New England clergy and perplexed philosophers in France. For the former some ministers interpreted the event to show God expressing his angry will. For the latter some thinkers saw the disaster as evidence that no such will existed. The Lisbon Earthquake is estimated to have been 8.5â€“9.0 magnitude on the Richter scale and lt triggered a tsunami. The devastation was enormous: "â€œNot long afterâ€¦a general Panic was raised from a Crowd of Peopleâ€™s running from the Waterside all crying out the Sea was pouring in and would certainly overwhelm the City. This new Alarm created such Horrors in the agitated Minds of the Populace that vast Numbers of them ran screaming into the ruinated City again where a fresh Shock of the Earthquake immediately following many of them were buried in the Ruins of falling Houses. This Alarm was however not entirely without Foundation. For the Water of the River rose at once above twenty Feet perpendicular and subsided again to its natural Pitch in less than a Minuteâ€™s time.â€" From the Rev. Thomas Prince to John Winthrop in to Voltaire to Rousseau â€”the intellectual luminaries of the world weighed in. Years later Goethe would write in his autobiography of his memory as a six-year old of the event: â€œPerhaps the Demon of Fear had never so speedily and powerfully diffused his terror over the earth.â€ The earthquake was the â€œsubject of anxious Church sermons across the Atlantic in New England. In fact an earthquake had also occurred in Massachusetts on the 18th of November 1755 centered east of Cape Ann. In Boston most of the damage occurred where buildings had been constructed over landfill near the wharves. John Adams who was at Braintree wrote in his diary: â€˜The house seemed to rock and reel and crack as if it would fall in ruinsâ€¦â€™â€ Kenneth Maxwell The Lisbon and Boston earthquakes became in tandem seismic cultural events as ministers philosophers and scientists contextualized one to the other. Some ministers compared the heavy damage of the Lisbon quake to the minimal damage from Bostonâ€™s and drew conclusions of moral American exceptionalism. Others used the Lisbon earthquakeâ€™s date of All Saintâ€™s Day to suggest that God was punishing the Catholics. At Harvard professor and astronomer-scientist John Winthrop blamed volcanoes. By and large An Account of the Late Dreadful Earthquake and Fireâ€¦ is written from neither a secular nor philosophical viewpoint. Rather it is a richly-detailed moment by moment account. It is a linear timeline written by an eyewitness who was literally on the shaky ground â€”when and where the dramatic event transpired. Charles Edwin Clarkâ€™s â€œScience Reason and an Angry God: The Literature of an Earthquakeâ€ in The New England Quarterly describes this narrow field of literature of the New England earthquake of 1755 â€”from the sermons to accounts such as the present exampleâ€” as documenting a â€œscience struggling to be born; a vigorous aggressive Protestantism on its way to becoming humanized and rationalized; a continuing consciousness of the uniqueness and special mission of America; and a scholarly approach in the best Puritan tradition to the problems of this world and the next.â€ Clark also provides an excellent and granular timeline of Bostonâ€™s printing and publication history concerning these two earthquakes. The verso of the half-title has an advertisement for the Boston edition of the Indian captivity of William and Elizabeth Fleming which is worth quoting at length: â€œA NARRATIVE of the Sufferings and surprizing Deliverances of William and Elizabeth Fleming Howes F-183 who were taken captive by Capt. Jakob Commander of the Indians who lately made the incursions on the frontiers of Pennsylvania as related by themselves. A NARRATIVE necessary to be read by all who are going in the Expedition The Kittanning Expedition a.k.a. the Armstrong Expedition as well as every British subject. Wherein it fully appears that the Barbarities of the Indians is owing to the French and chiefly their Priests. Price six Coppers.â€ After Braddockâ€™s Defeat Capt. Jacob had terrorized the Pennsylvania population until a force armed Pennsylvanians killed Jacobs September 8 1756 in an retaliatory raid. The reader of this pamphlet would not have known of Jacobâ€™s death because according to Clark it was published on April 1 1756. Evans 7602. ESTC W10073. Howes L-371 ref. ESTC records only 6 institutions all in America owning this. The â€œthird American editionâ€ i.e. the second is likewise rare. Ref. Maxwell Kenneth V â€” Lisbon 1755: The First â€˜Modernâ€™ Disaster but if modern how is it so accessed online. unknown

Large Archive of Menus and Related Documents from Europe late 19th and Late 20th Century

1900CAT0004561900. Some restaurant menus but most for occasions weddings first communions royal dinners and various other festivities as well as countless dinner parties some very professionally printed some handwritten in a variety of styles. The bulk of the material is from 1890-1920 and the early 1930s into the 1950s almost all in Europe though it trickles into the late 1990s. England Belgium Germany France and many from Luxembourg. It includes a number of menus from during the two world wars and a few referencing them a number of the menus appear to be from an RAF chef whose identification card is included in the collection. Like many collections of this sort while it was clearly collected first hand in part it's hard to tell which menus the collector gathered at the time and which were collected later or if perhaps the earlier group was passed down and added to. 146 pieces in all a remarkable collection that stretches from the height of 19th century French cuisine well into the 20th century - a tumultuous period in Europe to be sure but one where at least some people evidently continued to entertain. Held in three binders. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: 2-3 kilos. Category: Cooking Wine & Dining; Inventory No: CAT000456. unknown
