19016405Philadelphia 1901. Very good. 52pp. Quarto. Original tan printed wrappers stitched as issued. Closed tear and slight loss in lower front corner repaired with tape on verso. Light wear toned minor soiling. A charming small-press publication comprised of humorous poetry and drawings by Martha Tracy during her tenure as a medical student at the Women's Medical College of Pennsylvania. Each set of lines is preceded by a title page such as "Ye Serene Skeleton" which is then accompanied by a line drawing: "Ye skeleton seems happy quite / Hung by his head morn noon and night -- / Though students come and students go / He still swings gently to and fro". Other stanzas are dedicated to Ye Booklover Ye Distasteful Drugs about a female medical student testing drugs by tasting them Ye Frightful Germ etc. Martha Tracy 1875-1942 graduated from Bryn Mawr in 1898 and thence from medical school in 1904. After post-graduate work at Cornell she became a professor of chemistry at WMCP in 1907 then served as dean from 1917 until her death in 1942. The present work was edited by her classmate Ellen Culver Potter 1871-1958 who graduated in 1903; Potter went on to become a prominent physician and public health official. A wonderfully charming production and quite rare likely due to a very limited production run. We locate three copies in OCLC. unknown

186713090Morrison WI 1867. Broadside 26.75 x 20.25 inches printed on thin paper. Old folds some creasing edges occasionally a bit frayed with a few small nicks or tears a couple of minor losses along folds. Overall very good condition. A striking and seemingly unique surviving broadside advertising a January 26 1867 lecture by Clara Barton entitled "War & Incidents of Army Life" part of a popular post-Civil War lecture series she delivered across the United States. Barton spent two years touring and recounting her battlefield experiences which helped popularize her and fund her subsequent efforts to locate missing soldiers. The present lecture was delivered to the Young Men's Literary Association of Morrison Wisconsin at the local Concert Hall. In addition to the bold title containing the relevant information on the lecture and the information on obtaining tickets at the bottom much of the lower portion of the broadside prints several laudatory "Recommendations" from various entities in Indiana and other locations in Wisconsin including a January 7 1867 review from The Milwaukee Sentinel. Noted temperance lecturer John B. Gough also praises Barton's lecture stating that "I never heard anything more touching more thrilling in my life."<br /> <br /> Typographically the broadside is interesting for employing several sizes of fonts likely wooden type especially near the bottom of the Recommendations section where the printers needed to reduce the size of the font to fit in the entirety of a quote from The Daily Wisconsin as well as a line in the smallest font from the Concert Hall promoter noting that the foregoing group of recommendations is "enough" and praising Barton for her "noble character which she has won by her efforts to ameliorate the sufferings of our sick and disabled soldiers."<br /> <br /> Clara Barton 1821-1912 was a noted educator and humanitarian who helped distribute needed supplies to the Union Army during the Civil War and later founded the American Red Cross. Barton garnered nationwide recognition for her efforts during the war and quickly became known as the "Angel of the Battlefield." After the war Barton's lecture tour brought her in contact with other notables of the day including Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton and also Frederick Douglass who involved her in the suffrage and civil rights movements respectively. In the Fall of 1866 Barton began to lecture on her Civil War experiences in lyceum halls churches town halls and schools. Though she never felt comfortable in front of an audience wherever she spoke Barton was well received. Her contemporary biographer Percy Epler wrote that "a tear-stained multitude thronged everywhere to hear her" as she had made it her mission to show not "the glories of conquering armies but the mischief and misery they strew in their tracks; and how while they march on.some one must follow closely in their steps crouching to the earth faces bathed in tears and hands in blood. This is the side which history never shows."<br /> <br /> From 1866 through 1868 Barton delivered over 200 lectures throughout the northeast and midwest regarding her Civil War experiences. She shared platforms with other prominent figures including the aforementioned Douglass as well as Ralph Waldo Emerson William Lloyd Garrison and Mark Twain. She often earned $75 to $100 per lecture. Original broadsides advertising her lectures especially of this size are exceedingly rare to say the least. We could locate just a single result in auction records of a much smaller example and OCLC reports just one institutional holding of any Barton lecture broadside again much smaller for an 1867 event in New Haven located at the Library of Congress. unknown

1944235151944. Women's Royal Naval Service photograph album documenting life at HMS Royal Arthur the Royal Navy's training camp establishment at Skegness where a prewar holiday camp was transformed into a military training and accommodation center during the Second World War. Named individuals throughout with handwritten identifications the album follows Dorothy Gardner and other Wrens serving in the expanding wartime navy while also capturing the theatrical entertainment routines featuring cross dressed men and ceremonial duties that shaped daily life away from the front lines. Beyond its images of uniformed women the album records a military community of offices dining halls stages chalets and training facilities that supported Britain's wartime naval operations at a camp which was bombed by German aircraft on February 21st 1942.<br /> <br /> Photo album of approximately 73 silver gelatin photographs various sizes ranging from 1.5" x 1.5" to 8.5" x 6.5" chiefly HMS Royal Arthur Camp Skegness Lincoln and other British locations c. 1944. Large group portraits are captioned "H.M.S. Royal Arthur July 1944" showing rows of Wrens in naval caps and dark uniforms. Several photos show soldiers by artillery navy men on small military boats and canons. Multiple group photos show men and women in Navy uniform. The photographs place women within the essential but often overlooked machinery of wartime naval administration including supply clerical work communications camp management transport and food service. Captions identify Peggy Marjorie Dorothy Margaret Joan Harry Blake Farnsworth Bernard Cavanagh Dennis Leo Dugay May of Glasgow Geoffrey Roy Bluemel Mrs. Thomason of Leigh Pat Taylor Nancy and Cynthia of HMS Ariel. Additional off camp photographs show bicycle outings skating scenes shipboard snapshots barracks and chalet interiors social gatherings and a guard of honour at Lincoln near the cathedral. Particularly notable is the album's extensive documentation of entertainment and morale-building activities. Several photographs are captioned "Up Spirits" and "concerts at H.M.S. Royal Arthur" revealing an active performance culture within the camp. Sailors appear in theatrical productions alongside women in costume while musicians perform with accordions and pianos before assembled audiences. One series features actor Charles Redgrave "with the girls" and another photograph captures the wartime tradition of gender-crossing stage entertainment in which male servicemen performed in women's clothing for camp audiences. These scenes provide an unusually vivid record of military leisure performance and social life within a wartime naval community.<br /> <br /> HMS Royal Arthur was bombed by German aircraft on 21 February 1942 The album therefore records daily life at a site that was both a military workplace and a target of wartime attack. By 1944 the Women's Royal Naval Service had expanded dramatically from its earlier First World War role with women serving in hundreds of naval occupations while remaining largely excluded from combat at sea. The photographs capture that transformation through named individuals workplace groups ceremonial events friendships and recreational activities illustrating how women became integral to the operation of Britain's wartime navy. The album documents the social world created when thousands of servicewomen and servicemen lived and worked together inside one of Britain's largest naval shore establishments. Sailors Wrens airmen Canadians civilians performers and local acquaintances appear throughout its pages creating a rich portrait of wartime relationships and community formation. Album shows handling wear page wear and a few removed photographs; handwritten captions remain extensive and legible throughout. Overall in good condition. An unusually dense and highly personal record of women's naval service wartime labor military entertainment gender performance and everyday life at HMS Royal Arthur during the Second World War. unknown
