16326Childbirth Midwives were responsible for the safe delivery of the foetus. Their work could be a steady and chosen occupation. Initially there was no formal training or the need to obtain a license but this changed within Europe in the 1700's since some town authorities recognized the need for trained midwives in order to protect the safety of the public. In contrast to the 'norm' of the 15th and 16th centuries midwives were women concerned with public affairs since they were employed by the municipal authorities and were entitled to a salary. They were also paid by their private clients. Hence in a male oriented society midwives -who came from the lower middle class were called to challenge gender divisions. <br/><br/>Four decrees printed in German block lettering related to the Mainz School of Midwifery from 1784-1785. 5 sheets 12 ½ x 7 ½ in. Decrees relate to registration exam protocols and professor approbation's issued by Baron von Frankenstein. Documents contain handwritten notes at bottom. Light scattered foxing and thumb-soiling.

1900200911900. Telephone operator photo archive circa 1900 to 1958 documents women's labor within telephone exchange systems showing how urban communications depended on trained female operators seated at switchboards connecting calls handling information and maintaining the human infrastructure behind early and mid twentieth century telephone service. The material documents telephone communication labor through photographs of switchboard rooms operators wearing headsets plug boards supervisory presence and grouped clerical activity revealing how connection work operated in practice before automated dialing fully displaced manual exchange work. The archive supports research into women's wage labor communications history gendered office work New York telephone service and the disciplined workplace culture that positioned young women as the public voice and operational center of the telephone network.<br /> The archive consists of six black-and-white photographs including five silver gelatin photographs and one early albumen photograph with images measuring from approximately 3.5 x 4.25 inches to 7 x 9 inches. The date range appears to extend from the early twentieth century to 1958 based on the later dated images. Several photographs show women seated in tight rows facing large switchboards wearing heavy headsets with horn mouthpieces and working among dense arrangements of cords and plugs. The early albumen photograph shows a row of women facing the switchboards while a female supervisor watches over the room indicating both the gendered hierarchy and procedural discipline of the exchange floor. One image shows an operator turning toward the camera with a plug in hand smiling while gesturing toward the board. Four smaller photographs dated 1958 show teams of women moving between boards and a small group with paperwork behind the operating area; pencil inscriptions on the versos identify the location as New York.<br /> The photographs are valuable because they make visible the labor system behind telephone service: rows of operators standardized equipment supervisors paperwork and the coordinated manual routing of calls. They also record the gendered character of communications work in which women's voices posture speed and manner were made part of the service itself. Light handling wear minor edge wear and expected age toning; images remain crisp with equipment and personnel details clearly visible; overall very good.

Unidentified photographers photograph archive of women's basketball teams 1919 to 1932 documenting the early development of organized women's athletics in the United States following the introduction of basketball as a women's sport in the 1890s. The material provides primary visual evidence of women's participation in competitive team sports supporting research into gender physical education and the expansion of athletic opportunities for women in the early twentieth century. These images capture institutional and team-based participation during a period when women's athletics remained contested yet increasingly visible.<br /> <br /> Archive of seven silver gelatin photographs depicting formal team portraits ranging from small groups of five players to a large team of approximately thirty-seven individuals. Photographs measure between approximately 3.5 x 5.5 inches and 8.75 x 10.75 inches.

Uniforms include high-top athletic shoes short skirts and sailor-style tops reflecting standardized early women's basketball attire. Several photographs include handwritten identifications on the verso naming individual players while one larger image on matte paper bears the inscription "Basketball 1931-32" along with a studio stamp indicating production in Boston. The sequence of images demonstrates changes in uniform style and team size over more than a decade while maintaining consistent compositional formats typical of organized team portraiture.<br /> <br /> Seven photographs. Women's basketball introduced by physical educator Senda Berenson shortly after the sport's invention in 1891 became a significant avenue for women's physical activity despite ongoing debates about propriety and health. By the 1920s women's teams were established across schools and regional leagues reflecting broader acceptance of female athletic participation. This archive documents that period of expansion preserving visual records of team organization and identity prior to the formal institutionalization of women's professional basketball later in the twentieth century. Minor edge wear and light foxing to some prints; one duplicate image with tears and surface loss; remaining photographs clear and stable; overall very good condition.

Archive of original photographs documenting women's participation in athletics and organized physical culture during the early twentieth century when women's sports and exercise programs increasingly became accepted within schools colleges camps and recreational organizations. The photographs show women engaged in archery synchronized gymnastics calisthenics and cheer leading during a period when female athletic participation expanded alongside broader debates concerning women's health education public visibility and social independence. The photographs provide visual evidence of the physical culture movement as it shaped women's recreational and educational environments in the United States and abroad preserving both formal athletic training and communal performance activities that contributed to changing expectations surrounding women's physical activity and public presence.<br /> Collection consists of seven original silver gelatin photographs dating approximately from the 1910s through the 1930s. The archive includes several photographs of women participating in organized physical education exercises and athletic activities while dressed in period sporting attire. One image dated July 5 1928 documents uniformed women performing synchronized gymnastic drills during a Sokol Festival dress rehearsal in Prague capturing rows of participants in coordinated motion during a major international physical culture gathering influenced by Central European nationalist and athletic traditions. Another photograph from the 1910s-1920s shows a group of young women posed with medicine balls Indian clubs and batons while wearing sailor-inspired gymnasium uniforms associated with school or collegiate athletic programs.

Physical culture programs in schools colleges camps and civic organizations promoted athletics as both disciplined recreation and social training while sports such as archery and gymnastics offered women expanded opportunities for public competition and physical expression. Particularly notable is the range of activities represented from regimented calisthenic performance to recreational archery and cheerleading illustrating the broad spectrum of athletic environments available to women before the widespread professionalization of women's sports. Light wear and occasional handling marks consistent with age; photographs remain well-preserved overall in very good condition.

1918234351918. Women's industrial labor in an American textile finishing mill photographed likely between 1918 to 1922 documenting the inspection folding hemming and stamping of finished blankets and sheeting in the years around the First World War. The work shown belonged overwhelmingly to women who by 1920 made up about a fifth of the American labor force and were concentrated in exactly this kind of semiskilled textile work. The wartime labor shortage had pulled women deeper into industrial production and these images catch that expanded workforce on the floor before the 1919 recession and returning soldiers pushed women's share of factory labor back down. The conical galvanized fire buckets stenciled "Fire" mounted on posts in several frames date the images and tie them to the workplace fire safety reckoning that followed the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist fire in which 146 workers most of them young women died.<br /> Photo archive of eight silver gelatin photographs approximately 6.5 x 8 inches mounted to card stock each measuring 12 x 10 inches with one smaller image American textile mill circa 1918 to 1922. Seven photographs show the mill interior: long finishing floors lined with cast iron columns and overhead pipe runs electric pendant lamps and tables stacked with uniform folded and rolled white goods tied with string. Women predominate at every station. They sit at inspection benches turning over folded cloth stand at long tables rolling and bundling sheeting and run a row of treadle and electric sewing machines hemming finished pieces with thread spools and machine heads sharp in the foreground. One worker operates a rack of hand stamps the date and numbering stamps used to mark finished goods before shipment. A few older men in vests dark suits and detachable collars stand among them as foremen and supervisors. One frame shows the shipping area with finished goods crated in wooden boxes stenciled for transport. The classroom image stands apart from the mill series: teenage students seated at ornate cast iron school desks a wall clock and a chalkboard covered in arithmetic. The eighth and largest subject is a full staff group portrait of roughly eighty workers overwhelmingly women posed on the production floor against stacked bundles of finished cloth with a length of white sheeting unrolled across the floor at their feet.<br /> The years these images were made were among the most volatile in American labor history. In 1919 more workers went on strike than in any year before some four million people twenty-two percent of the workforce and in June 1920 Congress created the Women's Bureau within the Department of Labor by Public Law 66-259 the first permanent federal agency charged with the welfare of wage-earning women which began studying the eight-hour day for women in 1921. The textile finishing trade these women worked in had been built on female labor since the start of the industrial revolution and the staff portrait records the scale and the gender composition of one such workforce directly. These photographs showing women's industrial work the fire buckets the stamping rack the sewing line the crated shipment ties the archive to specific developments in labor safety and women's employment law. Overall in very good condition with the mounts showing minor edge wear and some en verso pencil markings. unknown
1923List327New York: Alfred A. Knopf 1923. First Edition. With an autograph letter signed with the envelope affixed to the front pastedown. With the bookplate of John and Rebecca Lowrie on front free endpaper. Lowrie reviewed the work for the New York Post and her review of the book affixed to the half-title. Very Good. Neith Boyce was an author and theater artist who worked across genres publishing a range of works and co-founding the Provincetown Players. Boyce and her husband Hutchins Hapgood were at the social center of a large circle of writers and artists including Gertrude Stein Georgia O'Keefe and Djuna Barnes. Their papers held at Yale provide rich insight into their artistic and literary era. <br /> <br /> Proud Lady was the second-to-last novel Boyce wrote and it was apparently her favorite. The novel is the story of Mary Carlin a woman who seeks spiritual perfection in others and who because of her pride cannot make herself leave her unfaithful husband. Rebecca Lowrie in her review written for the New York Post and included here states "all the vividness of the setting the touches which make the people so sure a part of their surroundings are secondary to the tragic figure of the proud lady and the victims of her pride."<br /> <br /> Boyce's letter to Lowrie effusively thanks her for her review of the book which from her tone appears to have been misunderstood by other critics. She writes "I have just seen your review of my novel Proud Lady. It is the most intelligent and best-written review that I have seen so far and I would like to convey to you my appreciation and the pleasure your attitude toward the book has given me." <br /> <br /> Overall a very nice association and a very good copy of an uncommon book. Some light wear and rubbing a few faint scuffs to cloth on the front board slightest bowing to spine but very good. Letter near fine with minimal wear. <br /> <br /> $450. Alfred A.

1914List520Nome: Lomen Brothers 1914. Silver gelatin print 6 1/2 x 9 1/2 inches. Fine. Women's baseball evolved alongside men's leagues beginning in the 1860s with many teams and leagues appearing throughout the following decades often playing indoors and often unrecorded in the annals of baseball history. Women's baseball was particularly popular in Minnesota and parts of the Midwest in the early part of the twentieth century. This photograph bears evidence as to the game's migration to Alaska Territory where long winters would have been particularly conducive to an indoor league. This photograph by the Nome Alaska firm Lomen Brothers shows the champion team of the Ladies Indoor Baseball League in Nome. We find no record in contemporary newspapers or anywhere else of the league. The Nome Brothers were a well-known photographic firm who migrated from Minnesota to Alaska at the height of the Nome Gold Rush in 1903. By 1909 at the end of the gold rush the population of Nome declined substantially to 2500 from 20000 just a few years earlier. This photograph shows interesting documentation of Nome post-rush and also of the spread of women's sports through migrant populations. We find one other example in the Fred Henton collection at the Anchorage Museum at Rasmuson Center. A fine example. Lomen Brothers unknown books

What is additionally wonderful about these delicate photographs are the expressions on the women's faces. Some show a stoic or "inscrutable look" others reveal a bewildered look as they are posing for the difficult to understand camera and photographer.

Robert Ross (1753-1823) was born in Lancaster, PA, and died in Nicholson Twp, Fayette Co. PA. In 1776 Robert took the oath of allegiance before Col. Miller of Lancaster Co. PA. and enlisted in the Revolutionary War as a private in Capt. James Taylor's company, 4th Penn. Battalion. Ross was regimental color bearer in 1776, under Gen. Anthony Wayne, at the storming of Stony Point (NY). In 1779 at Brandywine and through the Canadian campaign to the close of the war. Robert Ross fought also in the Indian Wars of 1790-1794. Robert Ross was an early settler, of Nicholson Twp. It does not appear that in the early part of the Revolutionary war he was reckoned among the adherents of the patriot cause, but in June, 1779, he took the oath of allegiance to Pennsylvania, and afterwards served to the end of the war under General Wayne. At the close of the struggle he, like thousands of others, was paid the arrears due him for services in Continental money, which was depreciated to one-fortieth of its face value. He afterwards served in the various Indian campaigns in Ohio and Indiana, rising to the rank of captain. In the Whiskey Insurrection of 1794, Capt. Ross was on the side of the insurgents, and commanded a company of about one hundred men of the western and southwestern parts of the county, a part of the (supposed) available force of the insurrectionists to be used in opposition to the government. At the head of this company Capt. Ross marched to Uniontown in August, 1794, to raise the 'liberty poles' in the town, and two miles south of it at Gaddis' place. When Gen. Lee came in with his army to suppress the insurrection, a squadron of cavalry was sent towards the Monogahela for the capture of Robert Ross as insurgent leader, but the expedition was unsuccessful.

1910200811910. Women's competitive golf archive 1910s to 1930s documents women golfers in practice tournament and club settings during the formative decades of organized women's golf in the United States. The group provides visual evidence of women's athletic participation in a sport long associated with country-club respectability social access and gendered expectations about dress leisure and competition. The U.S. Women's Amateur Championship began in 1895 as one of the USGA's first three championships and the USGA identifies it as marking the beginning of women's competitive golf in the United States; these photographs and postcard show how that competitive culture appeared in everyday and press imagery in the decades that followed. <br /> <br /> The archive consists of seven items dated between the 1910s and 1930s: six silver gelatin photographs and one brightly illustrated postcard measuring from approximately 1.75 x 2.75 inches to 7.25 x 9 inches. The photographs include a 1934 press image of golfer Barbara Stoddard in a swing position; a 1935 lineup from the Annual Women's St. Valentine Golf Tournament identifying Helen Waring Sarah Fownes Wadsworth Myrom W. Marr and W.C. Fownes Jr.; three small circa 1928 photographs of women positioned with clubs on a golf range; and an early 1930s image of two women posed with a man at a country club the women holding several clubs with one woman wearing trousers. The illustrated postcard from the early twentieth century shows a woman swinging a club in an athletic outfit still shaped by long-skirted fashion rather than later sportswear. Across the group recurring details include golf clubs held as markers of athletic identity posed swings tournament lineup conventions country-club settings and changing women's clothing from long skirts to less restrictive dress.<br /> <br /> The archive records women's golf as both competitive sport and social performance making visible the relationship between athletic skill class-coded club culture and evolving public ideas about women's physical capability. Its strongest research value lies in the mix of press photographs vernacular practice images tournament documentation and illustrated popular culture allowing comparison between women as actual competitors and women as stylized sporting subjects. Light handling wear minor edge wear and typical surface wear to photographs and postcard; images remain clear and identifiable; overall very good.

Photos of a quick break grabbing a coffee and snack of animal crackers.<br/><br/>Although women had participated in the informal practice of medicine for hundreds of years there were relatively few women studying medicine in the United States at this time. By 1900 only about a dozen medical schools had opened to coeducation and female graduates often found themselves unable to access training hospitals and professional associations. The trailblazing young women in these photos whom we see performing experiments and examining patients bucked the trend of their generation to become doctors. Early images of women in medicine are very rare and a fine addition to a collection. Very good condition. unknown books
