[FASHION ART -- DESIGNS/WOMEN]. [DUFFY, Barbara (Artist/Designer) & MANGONE, Philip].Biblio.com

Seven original fashion designs by teacher and later commercial artist Barbara Duffy while working as a teacher for the Jacob Gould Vocational School in Brooklyn NY including designs for mink coats â€œToppersâ€ coats for women wearing skirts & blouses stylish â€œParisâ€ hats belted dresses and long evening dress. The last of the designs depicts a beaver pelt trimmed coat â€œSketched at Mangoneâ€™s.â€

194261064Brooklyn NY: Barbara Duffy ca. 1942-1945. Seven pieces of original pen & ink art and gouache colouring and overpainting sized from 10 x 15 in. 3 up to 15 x 20 in. 3 on â€œWinsor & Newtonâ€™s Illustration Board 30 x 40â€ while the 7th piece is 9 x 17 in. executed on textured thick laid-paper pencil annotations in MS on fore-edges all pieces signed in thick black pen on versos some dustsoiling staining to fore-edges to a couple bumping to corners edgewear still a VG set of well-done exemplars. These original fashion design illustrations encompass womenâ€™s dresses hats fur coats evening wear and a post-War design by Mangone. The two dresses drawn by Duffy are reminiscent of the Claire McCardell easy to wear and comfortable dresses which emerged at the end of the War and featured a cinched-in waist floppy collars and padded shoulders retaining the influence of menâ€™s tailoring on womenâ€™s fashions during the War. The â€œToppersâ€ are splendid examples of box or swagger coats often made in light wool cotton or rayon blends and in this case with fetching hats and cinched-in waists. The two smaller designs with mink or beaver coats include one with a matching purse and the other with a pillbox hat. The two â€œParisâ€ style Cloche hats are nicely drawn and one is fitted with a mesh veil. The exceptional Mangone design indicates it was â€œSketched at Mangoneâ€™sâ€ which was probably one of the frequent sessions the designer would put on fashion shows at the Fashion Institute or local boutiques in and around New York following World War II and features a coat trimmed in beaver fur with Cloche hat and according to Duffy was available in light and dark wool along with an ascot. Mangone 1884-1957 was not only a significant Italian-American designer who quickly adapted Paris fashion trends into his own American style and was very popular from before World War I until after World War II. Strikingly he also was a survivor of the Hindenburg disaster who managed to leap from the Zeppelin at Lakehurst NJ with his daughter and grand-daughter looking on suffering significant burns and after shock and hospitalization spent considerable time recovering. Duffy b. 1919 taught at the Jacob Gould Vocational School for girls in Prospect Park Brooklyn NY from the time she left college until after World War II after which she worked as designer in local department stores and then disappears from census and public records.

By 1930 Berlin had emerged as an international fashion capital drawing Parisian fashion designers and most of the tailoring schools and fashion houses were operated by generations of Jewish family owners. Tailors and fashion designers were constantly reminded that they must create a wholly Aryan fashion and that they were to avoid French or other outside influences. Despite the pressure most women tailors and fashion designers in the tailoring or cutting schools continued to still draw their influences from Parisian and American couturiers by creating their own patterns and pattern books from which these internationally themed clothing designs could be made. This fashion pattern book by Bode focuses on womenâ€™s suits skirts capes coats and knickerbockers. However the Party never succeeded in creating a unique Fashion industry especially because of the drive to dress women in peasant costumes or uniforms even as the Nazi Party would confiscate the assets of over 2700 Jewish fashion houses retailers and manufacturers with 1000â€™s of tailors and seamstresses forced into labor and concentration camps to produce clothes for military and high society.

The text was released under the publisher’s name instead of that of Keralio although as early as 1791 Keralio was attacked in Les crimes constitutionnels de France for writing the work. She also reviewed many of the other notorious French Queens noting their turpitudes and condemning their sexual dalliances and crimes.

[Great Lakes Region – Maritime Trade – Women] Faragher, William; Faragher, Harriet ChamberlinBiblio.com

Collection of 1880sâ€“1890s Letters between a Great Lakes Merchant Shipowner and His Wife a Teacher in Cleveland Who Was â€œhumble enough to do most anythingâ€ to Settle their Debts

1909List3421Ohio Illinois Michigan and Ontario 1909. Seventy-four letters in thirty-seven envelopes mainly dating between 1885 and 1895. With two undated and one empty envelope. Conditions vary with a few letters having damage intersecting with significant amounts of text and others Near Fine. Overall excellent. A collection of letters mainly sent between Captain William Faragher 1842â€“1921 and his second wife Harriet Chamberlin 1853â€“1920 with several from Faragherâ€™s children from his first marriage Burton 1872â€“1961 and Maude 1875â€“1952. Most letters are from Chamberlin to Faragher with fourteen from Faragher to Chamberlin. Faragher owned and captained several merchant ships in Lake Erie and Lake St. Clairâ€”presumably sailboats as he frequently complains of having been stuck without wind. He also describes more severe weather out on the lake writing from St. Clair Michigan: â€œI am anxious to get down from here but as the day advanced the wind began to frisken and it began to snow hard and as it was freezing hard it had rained then snowed and then froze hard saturday night so the poor Venture was in a sad plight but she was in a worse one when we got to where we lay run as it breezed up fresh and the wind dead ahead the water was flying over her in all directions and froze wherever it fell and besides it had turned into a blinding snow storm but we had a certain point to make . she seemed as anxious to get to a place of safety as I did and as the boys say she got there and none too soon as it has been blowing a gale ever since and snowing and freezing but we are in the lee and at a good dock and are comfortable but oh the wind is whistling through the rigging .â€ November 20 1887 In the 1880s steamships were increasing in popularity on the Great Lakes primarily because of sailboatsâ€™ susceptibility to both calm and weather; steamboats were bulky for their capacity and slow but more reliable whereas sailboats could carry overall more cargo.1 Generally steamers took packaged goods and passengers and sailboats mainly schooners took bulk cargo. The Great Lakes were the site of much shipping innovation; Faragherâ€™s fleet was not yet behind the times but steam would overtake sail in the 1880s and 90s. Faragherâ€™s cargo was mainly produceâ€”apples and grapesâ€”though he does mention picking up salt and other materials. His letters indicate that his business involved both shipping and mercantile aspects: he chose and bought the products shipped them to their destination and then also had to find and sell to customers. The grapes in particular seem to cause a lot of trouble: â€œWe left Lorain Sunday morning early and had a nice trip to the Island got there at 4 PM bustled around monday morning and bought 400 baskets of grapes and had them all aboard by dark . it commenced to snow just as we got to Marine City bad bad omen for grapes but imagine my chagrin when I went up town and not a store or commission house wanted a grape folks were full of grapes and there was no sale for them and they said that I had got left and if the truth were known they were glad of it but its a cold day when I get left if trying will lit me out but one thing certain the weather and the lateness of the season were against me but you know I never cross a bridge before I get to it well we hauled up to our old Island Saturday morning and I sold out to my old friend . we had sold since 11 am 190 baskets of grapes . only half our cargo and at a good margin too. People would ask are you the man that was arrested here for selling grapes when told yes they seldom failed to buy but the strangest part was the number of ladies that came to buyâ€. October 28 1887 Though he does not narrate the incident in which he was arrested for grape peddlingâ€”nor does it appear to have made the paperâ€”he later mentions yet another grape-related debacle this time at Port Huron: â€œSander and I went to town to sell the grapes today . when down came a city official and wanted to know if I had a license to sell . well I couldent sell another grape without paying 5.00 a day license that was a stormer you see the whole sale men were going to drive me out of the market . but they were not as sharp as they thought they were I went and gave a bill of sale of my whole cargo to a citizen here and he appointed one of his agents to sell the grapesâ€ September 20 1888 Faragherâ€™s letters here do not discuss the financial state of his business but given Chamberlinâ€™s statements it cannot have been all too positive. Chamberlinâ€™s letters depict a woman struggling with her financial circumstances and with how the eraâ€™s expectations of her gender intersected with them. In one illustrative letter she writes: â€œA man drove by here Sat. asking for you. Ms. Lawler has given him her note to collect. He says the interest brings it to nearly fifty dollars. I told him I thought you could not meet it just at present but he said he must have the money and would give you just one week and if it was not paid then he would let the law settle it. Marvin and Laird are his lawyers. Mr. Laird is the one who helped get my money from fatherâ€™s estate. I would not have them connected in this way about you for â€“ O a great deal!! I have thought and planned till it seems as though my brain would burst. I have inquired about that law regarding taking any more married women as teachers. If Mr. Day would work for me it might perhaps be broken. There will be a vacancy in the Detroit building this fall. Will if I possibly can I want to commence teaching in Sept. The children would have to learn to do more about the house and with both of us earning it seems as though some of these harassing debts must be settled after a time. The frequent calls of men with bills against you have taken away all my pride and I believe I am humble enough to do most anything now.â€ July 11 1887 In 1887 Ohio passed the Married Womenâ€™s Property Act which allowed married women to keep their own property separate from their husbandsâ€™â€”in fact Chamberlin occasionally mentions â€œherâ€ money in her correspondence. At the same time the stateâ€™s Board of Education was debating passing an act that would not only ban school districts from hiring married women as teachers but also fire all the married women it then employed. Newspaper reporting at the time indicates that this measure was not particularly popular not the least because married women tended to be older and more experienced with the job. Chamberlin clearly perceives her role as a wife in a rather more progressive way at one point writing to Faragher that â€œa true wifeâ€ is â€œnot a doll-baby to be kept in fineryâ€ N.d. after he had taken out a loan to send her money for a new hat. Throughout their correspondence Chamberlin is perhaps surprisingly open with Faragher about her opinions particularly on his work and their financial affairs; for instance: â€œI should like to examine your pocket-book after that $25 tax money left it. What are you going to live on up there while you are hunting for freight Sawdust wonâ€™t put any fat on your bones. Sailing up and down past Saginaw bay wonâ€™t prolong your life or lessen your grey hairs. What are you sailing for anyway For the sake of wearing yourself out and giving employment to two or three men and keeping the Root from rusting out I guess I am naughty!â€ May 25 1894 She also frequently provides her opinion on whether and at what rate Faragher should sell his two other ships besides the Root the Venture and the Sassacus. She continues in the same letter: â€œI know I almost had a regular fight yesterday morning right there on the lounge. I wanted to do my housework and I couldnâ€™t. I wanted to sew and I couldnâ€™t sit up long for that. I wanted to help you and I couldnâ€™t. I wanted to earn money and whereas I used to earn fifty-five cents for every hour I worked now I can not earn anything. Then if I could not do for self and family I wanted to make church and S.S. calls but I couldnâ€™t walk for that.â€ Of course she was at that time prevented from these activities by her health not by gendered standards but she clearly had financial ambitions for herself. After her time as a regular school teacher Chamberlin taught at a Sunday school where she earned a few cents per student and in one letter reported having eighty-one students in a single session. Chamberlin also struggles with the expectations of her as step-mother to Faragherâ€™s two children from his first marriage to Emma Humphrey 1848â€“1880. She writes: â€œI get so discouraged sometimes and it seems as though I am in the wrong place as mother. I think of Emma as my sister. I want to do as she would have me. I look upon my work as sacred. And yet sometimes I feel as though life was not worth living.â€ November 5 1886 She frequently describes conflict with Burt who was then in his late teens to early twenties writing that she could not â€œhave quite the very own mother-love for himâ€ though she is â€œsure that Emma was not more conscientious in her desires to do right by him than I amâ€ May 20 1891. As it still is today the role of step-mother was a difficult and frequently demonized one with the trauma of losing a mother and wife often in conflict with the feminine duty of maintaining perfect domestic harmony. In general Chamberlin seems to have been somewhat out of step with the feminine ideal of the time even telling Faragher in a letter describing the death of an acquaintanceâ€™s baby how glad she was to not have any children of her own. Overall a look at the private lives and difficulties of a middle-class Ohio household as despite the relative prestige of its head being a captain-owner it struggled with debt. Of interest to both historians of Great Lakes trade and those of womenâ€™s roles in the late nineteenth century. 1 Dina M.

Second edition substantially revised and corrected of this sweeping history of the Hieronymites monastic orders of monks and nuns of the Poor Hermits of Saint Jerome Pisa first established near Pisa in 1377 and would eventually grow to fifty houses of which two still survive in Rome and Viterbo Italy. Sajanelli was a general director of the Hieronymite Poor Hermits of Blessed Saint Jerome Pisa and doctor of theology of Padua who has carefully assembled all of the related documents along with detailed indices and chronologies together with Papal Bulls and monastic orders chronicling the origins and ongoing mission of the this order. Convents with extensive documentation included by Sajanelli include those of the Convent of the Most Holy Trinity founded in 1380 near Montebellum the Convent of Saint Jerome outside of Ariminum and that of Saint Mary of the Annunciation in the town of Saint Anthimum founded originally in 1490. Originating in Spain the monastic order was recognized by Pope Gregory XI in his Papal Bull dated Oct. 18 1373 recognizing the religious order to operate under the Rule of St. Augustine and both monks and nuns adopted the religious order habits of white tunics with brown scapulars similar to the Carmelites. The first nunnery convent began in Toledo Spain led by Maria Garcia near Toledo and perhaps the most revered and well known was Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz of the convent of San Jeronimo y Stanta Paula in Mexico City considered the â€œTenth Muse.â€ See: Perennes Dicionnaire de Bibliographie Catholique Vol. III 1839 p. 933-934; Besse Hieronymites Catholic Encyclopedia 1910.
