AL-68<p>Charming Small Photo & Art Album Showing Women Students in New York 1892-93</p><p>This petite album is one of the loveliest I've owned. You can tell it was put together with care although sadly not by whom. That said as there is an image of the 1892 Columbus Day parade in New York City I'm assuming all the photos were taken in the City. The women in the album appear to live at number 715 Fifth Avenue which would have given them the view of the parade and the Columbus Arch at the end of Fifth Ave.</p><p>The woman appear to be in college as there are three classroom shots including what looks like a chemistry lab. The last page in the album is a drawing of 715 for rent. I wish we could find out more about these young women especially the one who compiled the album and made such cute drawings of little brownies.</p><p>The album's cover has some soiling but the pages are in near fine condition with some photos showing a bit of silvering. There are 21 pages that have photos/art on them. The other three are blank.</p>
178057363London: G. Kearsly 1780. First Edition. 8vo pp.4 91 1. Includes the half title removed from a bound volume. Very good. Not in Adams nor Sabin. Refers to the Gordon Riots also called No-Popery Riots that took place in London in June 1780. The Anti-Catholic agitation was instigated by Lord George Gordon. From Wikipedia: "The Gordon Riots of 1780 began as an anti-Catholic protest in London against the Papists Act of 1778 which intended to reduce official discrimination against British Catholics. The protest evolved into riots and looting. The Gordon Riots by Charles Green. The Popery Act 1698 had imposed a number of penalties and disabilities on Roman Catholics in England; the 1778 Act eliminated some of these. An initial peaceful protest led on to widespread rioting and looting and was the most destructive in the history of London. Painted on the wall of Newgate prison was the proclamation that the inmates had been freed by the authority of "His Majesty King Mob". The term "King Mob" afterwards denoted an unruly and fearsome proletariat.The Riots came at the height of the American War of Independence when Britain was fighting American rebels France Spain and the Dutch Republic. They led to unfounded fears that they had been a deliberate attempt by France and Spain to destabilise Britain before an imminent invasion similar to the Armada of 1779. G. Kearsly unknown books

19175680Japan S.P. C1917 Un magnifique album de photos de famille japonais. Il contient 38 photographies (principalement des tirages à la gélatine d'argent, dont 4 CDV et quelques clichés sépia) ainsi que cinq cartes postales photographiques. La particularité de cet album réside dans le fait que, bien qu'il retrace principalement l'histoire d'une même famille japonaise (de 1905 à 1917 environ), les cartes postales qui y sont collées comportent des annotations en français et font référence au Vietnam et à la Birmanie. Les photographies mettent souvent l'accent sur les tenues traditionnelles des femmes, et l'on peut y observer la transition du kimono vers la femme moderne en ville. L'album contient également deux coupures de presse en français, l'une sur la mode japonaise et l'autre sur les coupes de cheveux japonaises. Notre photo préférée est celle d'un vieil homme à l'air plutôt renfrogné, vêtu d'un costume traditionnel. L'album mesure 23 cm x 16 cm. Sur la couverture figure une carte postale en couleur représentant une femme feuilletant un album photo. Un morceau de tissu de kimono est également collé sur la couverture. L'album est désormais recouvert d'un film plastique protecteur. Les photos sont de tailles variées. Bon nombre d'entre elles sont des clichés pris en studio, représentant des personnes seules ou la famille. Un très bel exemple du genre.
