1867List309Virginia City: Sutterley and Co 1867. Albumen photograph on mount 4 x 2 ½ inches. Pauline Cushman was an actress and one of the most successful spies for the Union Army. She ingratiated herself with the Confederate army by toasting Jefferson Davis after one of her performances. She was eventually caught and sentenced to death by hanging. She was spared only due to the arrival of the Union Army. <br /> <br /> After the war she toured the country giving lectures and performances recounting her experiences as a spy. She eventually headed west marrying in 1872 in San Francisco and eventually working a range of jobs in Arizona Territory Texas and eventually back in San Francisco where she died in 1893 at age 60 from a morphine overdose. <br /> <br /> We find no record of this portrait which was taken by the Sutterley brothers James and Clement in their Virginia City Nevada studio somewhere between 1864 and 1867. The Sutterleys operated out of their studio on the Union block of Virginia City for five years before dissolving their partnership in 1867. It is likely that the portrait was taken during one of Cushman's tours throughout the region during these years. <br /> <br /> A beautifully preserved example in very good condition with a small chip to upper margin and some fading. Though Cushman ostensibly would have sold cartes-de-visite in support of her touring few survive on the market today. Sutterley and Co unknown books
1802WRCAM55701Albany 1802. Letterpress broadside 13 1/2 x 8 1/4 inches. Docketed on verso. Old folds light foxing. Very good. Untrimmed. An unrecorded slip-bill printing of an act presented in the New York state legislature in 1802 to prevent widows of Loyalists from receiving dowers for confiscated property. It is evidence not only of continuing acrimony toward Loyalists and attempts to profit from their financial losses but also of continued legal efforts to keep women economically dependent in Federal-era America. This act was probably considered or presented in conjunction with an "Act to Facilitate the Discovery and Sale of the estates of Attainted Persons" that passed in the same session. That act allowed New Yorkers who discovered property owned by Loyalists and subject to forfeiture under its 1779 Forfeiture Act to receive a twenty- five percent share of the proceeds of the sale of this newly-discovered property. The present slip bill calls for preventing widows of deceased Loyalists from receiving any property deemed subject to confiscation. "Femes covert" is a legal term meaning simply "married woman." The final act as passed on March 31 1802 does not mention widows of deceased Loyalists but speaks simply of heirs to confiscated lands. <br> <br> "During the American Revolution many states passed laws allowing them to seize the property of known loyalists. So-called 'confiscation laws' effectively criminalized dissent against the American Revolution. The seizure and sale of loyalist property also raised revenue for the state by redistributing property from Loyalists to the rest of the community. Many new states established their legitimacy in the eyes of their constituents by depriving certain people of their right to property. New York built one of the most robust property confiscation regimes. In fact New Yorkers started seizing loyalist property even before the state ratified its Constitution. In March of 1777 the Provincial Convention - a provisional government - created in counties under Patriot control 'Committees of Sequestration' which seized property abandoned by Loyalists auctioned it off and sent those funds to the state treasurer.Alexander Hamilton made his legal career by representing former loyalists in lawsuits where they tried to reclaim seized property. Many of the loyalists Hamilton represented were quite wealthy and Hamilton believed these men and their capital would prove critical for building the United States. He wanted them to reintegrate into American society. Resolving disputes over property confiscation was a critical first step in accomplishing that goal and enabling the broader transition from violent revolution into routine civil government. Hamilton won in New York. Most other states also successfully reintegrated loyalists. The United States Constitution even includes a clause prohibiting bills of attainder the broad category of laws under which confiscation acts fell. It took away from democratic state legislature this coercive and punitive power to enforce political conformity" - Boonshoft. <br> <br> The legal discourse on attainder and the confiscation of Loyalists' property in the state of New York seems to be largely silent on the issue of widows' rights. The present broadside illuminates a dark corner of this rather difficult issue and helps bring to light yet another instance when the rights of women in early America were often null. <br> <br> Slip-bills' were printed in small numbers for the use of members of legislatures as a bill is being debated and considered. They are quite uncommon survivals and significant evidence of legislative intent and process. This slip-bill is unrecorded with no copies in auction records nor in OCLC.

15931World War posters advertising for women supporting the War effort. YWCA "Care for Her" & "For every fighter a woman worker!" poster c. 1915 backed on linen 41" x 27." This poster prominently features a woman factory worker confidently holding up an early biplane. It is an original World War I poster created by Adolph Treidler to publicize the YWCA's participation in the United War Work Campaign November 11 - 18 1918. <br/><br/>The United War Work Campaign was a a one-week fundraising effort during World War I. Seven voluntary organizations -- the National War Work Council of the YMCA the War Work Council of the YWCA the National Catholic War Council Knights of Columbus the Jewish Welfare Board the War Camp Community Service the American Library Association and the Salvation Army sought to raise $170500000 in subscriptions and pledges during the week of November 11-18 1918 to help boost American soldiers' morale and provide them with recreational activities.<br/>Women may not have fought on the front lines in World War I but as more and more men joined up they were needed in the defense industries and military support jobs. For Every Fighter a Woman Worker 1918 depicts a female munitions worker with the symmetrical poise and beauty of a classical statue; she bears a miniature war-plane in one hand and a bomb-shell in the other. In reality the work she advertised was dirty dangerous physically demanding and attended by frequent explosions and instances of chemical poisoning. Such injuries and fatalities did not come with medals and war pensions. The poster emphasizes the need to "Care for Her Through the YWCA" but ultimately the concern seems to be as much about her moral as physical welfare. The classical beauty of the figure helped to reassure women that their femininity would not be compromised by such work. unknown books

192460304Paris: Ernst Henri 1924. Folio. 2 unnumbered leaves of text. With 40 mounted hand-coloured plates beautifully reproducing the original designs Rococco chinoiserie designs 3 plates w/ old reinforced mounts at upper corners a few w/ old offsetting from the original glue. Preserved in the original quarter-chinoiserie cloth over boards printed illustrated label on front cover front tie loosened from the fore-edge edgewear rubbing still a nice complete set of these plates. First edition thus of this exceptional portfolio reproducing the exquisite and fanciful botanical settings landscapes and allegorical Chinese figures from this extraordinary artist. His chinoiserie engravings exaggerated the wispy and delicate qualities of the style portraying the world as a fairyland fileed with colour and fantasy. His 18th-Century Rococo designs were wildly popular by decorative arts manufacturers and applied to silk textiles porcelain pottery wallpapers and even silver. Pillement 1719-1808 had developed by 1764 a new method of printing on silk with fast colours and that also encouraged the durability and legacy of his designs. The majority of these were engraved by the noted woman artist & engraver Anne Allen a British artist who not only was the second wife to Pillement but created etchings based on his paintings by using the “a la poupee†or multi-colour Intaglio copperplate engraving style of printmaking which breathed life into the intricate scenes. This portfolio reproduces many of her portfolios as well as those executed by Gauthier Dagoty Canot Avril and Robert Cooper. Ernst Henri, hardcover

Old folds minor foxing light edge wear eight pinpoint wormholes not affecting readability of text. Completed in ink with ink docketing on verso. Signed and rubricated. A seemingly unrecorded "patente" or indulgence issued by the Holy Cathedral Church of Durango conferring membership into a religious confraternity for a woman named Maria Josefa Cano whose name is entered in ink within the text of the broadside. This indulgence issued by the colonial "Santa Hermandad" defined Cano's duties which included attendance at mass on the last Sunday of each month as well as certain festivities assist sickly brothers and sisters and attend funerals of fellow members "with a candle in hand."

1920List3343United States 1920. Painted poster with affixed photograph measuring 14 x 21 inches. Toned with water damage and slight damage to edges; very good to excellent. A painted poster advertising the 1920 film The Girl Who Dared a Western directed by Clifford Smith and starring Edythe Sterling. The story follows Barbara Hampton a rancher’s daughter who is elected sheriff of a small town and must take on the cattle rustlers who are after her father. Sterling born Edith May Kessinger 1893–1962 was a prolific actress known for working with animals; after her film career she performed riding stunts in a Wild West show. Smith 1894–1937 was similarly prolific directing more than eighty films during his career—mainly Westerns which were especially popular during the silent era. This poster is hand-painted with a photograph from the film affixed and advertises 1¢ admission which was remarkably cheap even for the time. unknown
19005954Fulton Pittsburgh 1900. Faux cloth over marbled boards with ownership label to upper left corner with school district and compiler information. Measuring 9 x 11.5 inches and comprised of 22 pages of sketches herbal specimens and sample essays all recto. Firmly bound and with some dampstaining to the lower gutter not affecting text. Representing a range of exercises completed by state normal school student Flora Yagle the book presents researchers with a range of study opportunities including turn of the century pedagogical practice and curricula as well as genealogical and social history work regarding the family structure work and education of first-generation immigrants living on the East Coast. <br /> <br /> One of seven children born to German immigrants Flora Yagle b. 1886-7 clearly grew up in a family that emphasized education and upward mobility. The paper label identifies Yagle as an eighth-year student indicating that she was probably in her early teens when she completed these lessons. Census documents from around the time of her birth and childhood list her father as a foundry worker; and into her adulthood they shift to record him as the general manager of the foundry. Similar ambition was instilled in his children who are documented in census information as students or unemployed during their childhoods with work only appearing in their adulthoods. During Flora's youth she had brothers working as clerks and bookkeepers. By the time of her adulthood she has become a school clerk while her sister has obtained a position as a librarian. <br /> <br /> Part of Flora's training would have been conducted at the Fulton Elementary School located in Pittsburgh's Highland Park. A neighborhood for the rising middle class Highland Park and its schools were still in their infancy while Flora was in hers; while the residential district had been opened in 1879 the school was founded in 1894 and both intended to provide fresh air open spaces and pleasant living to skilled workers and their families who were flocking to Pittsburgh for its work opportunities. Historically Pennsylvania had been a vanguard for public and progressive education. "In his 1830 address to the state legislature Governor George Wold championed the cause of universal public education" as a scaffold for "the security and stability of the individual privileges we have inherited from our ancestors" Explore History. Before the decade was over "more than 1000 local school districts under a single statewide system of instruction" had been founded working to regularize "educational standards curriculum and instructional credentials" in tandem with the 1857 Normal School Act which founded "a network of ten state academies to prepare public school teachers" Explore History. <br /> <br /> Flora's generation was a beneficiary of these policies. Her notebook shows a range of work with creativity and visual arts central to her learning. In addition to pressed floral specimens likely from the school grounds or her home garden her book also contains a visual and textual representation of the spectrum of colors in a rainbow; illustrated lotus blossoms with a short essay on the botanical facts and cultural uses of the flower in Egypt; black and white sketches focused on perspective and shading; geometrical figures designed to be cut out and folded but here present; and figure drawings of children in Victorian clothing much like she and her classmates would wear. <br /> <br /> US Census 1890 1900 1910 1920. unknown

16132GIBSON J. The Emancipation of Women. London 1894. Second Edition. No known copy of the first edition can be found and this second edition is very rare An important text examining the past subjection of women and arguing that even greater efforts need to be made to free women from social limitations. In green publisher's binding with gilt embossed title on cover.Gibson remarked in the book's first chapter that "the laws of this country still treat women as the inferiors of men - as mere slave stuff. It can never be said that the work of political and social reform is finished until women are not only politically enfranchised but are able to take their seats in both Houses of Parliament and to hold even the highest positions in governments trades and professions."3 The feminist Lady Florence Dixie enclosed The Emancipation of Women in an open letter to Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone and other major political figures passionately criticizing their male-supremacist assumptions and opposition to women's suffrage and commending Gibson as a "true man and real - not sham - Liberal"; the letter was published in the suffragist newspaper The Woman's Herald in April 1892.4 Gibson was also a supporter of the atheist and secularist Charles Bradlaugh.5Minor bumping to cover corners but overall clean. Pages have minor toning not affecting text and binding is tight. Very good condition.

18512970Philadelphia: G.S. Harris 1851. First edition. Very Good . Original blue printed paper wraps printed to front. Some chipping and creasing to edges but overall intact and undamaged despite being quite delicate. Light scattered foxing throughout. Ownership signature of the college's original dean N.R. Mosely struck out at the top of the Faculty list on page 4; pencil ticks next to the names of several students listed in the catalogue on page 6. Exceptionally rare OCLC lists copies of this Announcement at only 2 institutions.<br/><br/>Only one year after Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell graduated valedictorian and became the first female M.D. in the U.S. the Female Medical College of Pennsylvania opened its doors. Located in Philadelphia it was the only the second school to open with the mission of training women in medicine -- having been preceded by the New England Female Medical College two years earlier in 1848. Founded by Quaker abolitionist and Underground Railroad activists who believed that women could make exceptional doctors "the college provided rare opportunities for women to teach perform research manage a medical school and with the eventual establishment of the Woman's Hospital in 1861 learn and practice in a hospital setting. It was the longest-lasting all-women medical school in the nation until it became coeducational in 1970" Mandell. The present Announcement predates these growths however showing the roots from which they emerged. One year running and the faculty remain largely male because there has yet to be an inaugural graduating class this would come in 1852; but already a female student Hannah E. Longshore is listed as a Demonstrator in Anatomy. Indeed Longshore and her sister Anna would both be part of the inaugural class of the college with the latter going on the author Discourses to Women in Medical Subjects 1897. Indeed the majority of women listed in this catalogue went on to become doctors even when it took time -- as it did for Hannah W. Ellis and Susanna H. Ellis both listed among the graduates of the 1865 class. 12 pages in all this scarce pamphlet contains Officers Corporators Faculty and Students of the school; an Announcement on the school's missions and accomplishments; information on Specialties available; Terms of enrollment; and a list of required Textbooks. It also conveys the excitement optimism and pride of those involved. "The Faculty of the Female Medical College of Pennsylvania are inspired by very different feelings from those that attended their efforts one year ago. Then they were about to enter into an untried path to engage in a great experiment.But that which was an experiment is an experiment no longer.give a woman knowledge commensurate with her natural qualifications enable her to go forth healing the sick and comforting the afflicted and she will bless the world." A rare survivor documenting that pivotal moment when women had been given the chance to prove their intellect rose to the challenge and made the future of the next female students more secure.
