218559Japan. Twenty one postcards 5 in colour the rest black and white photographic images. Some occasional spotting and browning light wear edges and one creased in places. Presented in a slightly chipped black lacquer box. Overall the collection is in fair to good condition. An interesting miscellaneous collection of twenty one Japanese postcards in a black lacquer box mostly dating from the 1910s and 1920s. Fourteen of these show scenes from a large Japanese military training exercise held in November 1919. Each card has a commemorative stamp of the Army Training Exercise and its date November 1919. There is also a card featuring a painting of the OSK line ship "Amerika Maru" and another with a picturesque Japanese scene and an inset photo of the OSK ship "Konan Maru" possibly a souvenir card given to passengers on the ship. Two other cards are New Year's greeting cards one of them dated 1939 and rather curiously written in Russian although it appears to have been sent from one Japanese man to another. Perhaps the most interesting in the collection is a postcard from Crown Prince Hirohito's 1921 visit to England which shows the Crown Prince shaking hands with one of Lloyd George's grandchildren although the scene is completely stolen by another small grand-daughter who stands in the middle of the photograph completely ignoring the presence of the Crown Prince. The collection also includes a 1948 entry permit to a market run by the Osaka Fruit and Vegetable Association. . unknown

He founded the periodicals "New Writing" and "The London Magazine" and the publishing house of John Lehmann Limited. Born in Bourne End Buckinghamshire the fourth child of journalist Rudolph Lehmann and brother of Helen Lehmann novelist Rosamond Lehmann and actress Beatrix Lehmann he was educated at Eton and read English at Trinity College Cambridge. He considered his time at both as "lost years". At Trinity Lehmann had a passionate relationship with Virginia Woolf's nephew Quentin Bell. After a period as a journalist in Vienna he returned to England to found the popular periodical New Writing 193640 in book format. This literary magazine sought to break down social barriers and published works by working-class authors as well as educated middle-class writers and poets. It proved a great influence on literature of the period and an outlet for writers such as Christopher Isherwood W. H. Auden Edward Upward and miner-author B. L. Coombes. Lehmann included many of these authors in his anthology Poems for Spain which he edited with Stephen Spender. With the onset of the Second World War and paper rationing New Writing's future was uncertain and so Lehmann wrote New Writing in Europe for Pelican Books one of the first critical summaries of the writers of the 1930s in which he championed the authors who had been the stars of New WritingAuden and Spenderand also his close friend Tom Wintringham and Wintringham's ally the emerging George Orwell. Wintringham reintroduced Lehmann to Allen Lane of Penguin Books who secured paper for The Penguin New Writing a monthly book-magazine this time in paperback. The first issue featured Orwell's essay "Shooting an Elephant". Occasional hardback editions combined with the magazine Daylight appeared sporadically but it was as Penguin New Writing that the magazine survived until 1950. He joined Leonard and Virginia Woolf as managing director of Hogarth Press between 1938 and 1946. He then established his own publishing company John Lehmann Limited with his novelist sister Rosamond Lehmann who had a nine-year affair with one of Lehmann's contributing poets Cecil Day-Lewis. They published new works by authors such as Jean-Paul Sartre and Nikos Kazantzakis and discovered talents like Thom Gunn and Laurie Lee. Lehmann edited two anthologies of new writing entitled Orpheus: A Symposium of the Arts 194849. He also published the first two books by the cookery writer Elizabeth David A Book of Mediterranean Food and French Country Cooking. He published two of Denton Welch's posthumous works: A Voice Through a Cloud for which he supplied the title 1950 and A Last Sheaf 1951. This publishing house published several book series including the Chiltern Library the Holiday Library the Modern European Library and the Library of Art and Travel. It operated from 19461953. In 1954 he founded The London Magazine remaining as editor until 1961 following which he was a frequent lecturer and completed his three-volume autobiography Whispering Gallery 1955 I Am My Brother 1960 and The Ample Proposition 1966. In The Purely Pagan Sense 1976 is an autobiographical record of his homosexual life in England and pre-war Germany discreetly written in the form of a novel. He also wrote the biographies Edith Sitwell 1952 Virginia Woolf and her World 1975 Thrown to the Woolfs 1978 Rupert Brooke 1980 and Christopher Isherwood. A Personal Memoir 1987. His book Three Literary Friendships 1983 deals with the relationships between Lord Byron and Percy Shelley Arthur Rimbaud and Paul Verlaine Robert Frost and Edward Thomas. In 1965 he published Christ the Hunter a spiritual/autobiographical prose poem which had been broadcast in 1964 on the BBC Third Programme. In 1974 Lehmann published a book of poems The Reader at Night hand-printed on handmade paper and hand-bound in an edition of 250 signed copies Toronto Basilike 1974. An essay by Paul Davies about the creation of this book is included in Professor A.T. Tolley's collection John Lehmann: A Tribute Ottawa; Carleton University Press 1987 which also includes pieces by Roy Fuller Thom Gunn Charles Osborne Christopher Levenson Jeremy Reed George Woodcock and others. John Lehmann died in London on 7 April 1987 aged 79. Wikipedia paperback

3725344<p>New York 1902–1904. 158ff. 12½ x 9½ inches. Album filled with tipped on or pasted in letters ephemera calling cards. Disbound lacking covers secured with recent cord tie; original black bordered leaves reinforced on left edge with cloth lining. Overall Very Good.</p> <p>A useful and packed album providing fine insight into the life of the German-American homeopathic physician Martin Deschere 1848–1902 of New York City. </p> <p>Deschere’s widow Olga Deschere assembled this archive after Martin Deschere’s passing. It reveals a constellation of physicians and medical institutions who were in his orbit. The bulk of the matter comprises: 200 pages of handwritten letters of condolences and tributes —from New York City medical organizations leading homeopaths and other physicians; 70 obituaries from newspapers and medical journals; and over 150 mourning calling cards almost all with a brief autograph sentiment. Some letters refer to Deschere’s homeopathic practice to Dr. Samuel Hahnemann 1755–1843 the founder of homeopathy and even to the “peculiar system†of homeopathy.</p> <p>Martin Deschere was a native of Hamburg Germany. Homeopath Dr. Samuel Lilienthal 1815–1891 also a German-American guided his early career. In 1875 he graduated from the New York Homoeopathic Medical College and Hospital. In 1881 Deschere was appointed Professor of Pediatrics at his alma mater holding this position for many years. Deschere served as a staff physician at New York’s Flower Hospital and the Laura Franklin Free Hospital for Children. He was an editor of the North American Journal of Homoeopathy a member and president of the Homoeopathic Medical Society of the State of New York the founder of the Materia Medica Society and a founder of a pediatric medical society.</p> <p>Colleagues offering tribute to Dr. Deschere were Willard Ide Pierce of the New York Medical Club and author of Plain Talks on Materia Medica with Comparisons Philadelphia 1911; Henry M. Dearborn 1846–1904 professor at the New York College and Hospital for Women and New York Homœopathic Medical College and Hospital; Frederick M. Dearborn b.1876 lecturer at the New York Homœopathic Medical College and Hospital and the New York College and Hospital for Women; Willis A. Dewey b.1858 an anatomy professor at Hahnemann Medical College of the Pacific and editor of the California Homoeopath and The Medical Century; and Loomis L. Danforth b.1849 professor of obstetrics New York Homœopathic Medical College and Hospital and chief of maternity staff at Hahnemann Hospital.</p> <p>Other memorialists included George W. Roberts b.1866 professor of surgery at the New York Medical College and Hospital for Women; John W. Dowling b.1837 Registrar of the New York Homœopathic Medical College and a founder of its surgical hospital; H. Everett Russell b.1863 graduate of the New York Homœopathic Medical College and Hospital and member of American Institute of Homœopathy and the National Society of Electro-Therapeutists; Walter Sands Mills b.1865 physician to the department of the heart and lungs New York Homœopathic Medical College Dispensary; and C.A. Weirick of Chicago co-editor of the Journal of Orificial Surgery and official of the the American Institute of Homœopathy.</p> <p>Dr. William Francis Honan recalled Deschere as a professor:</p> <p>"It was my good fortune to come under his personal instruction in 1889 & subsequently to enjoy a continued acquaintanceship with him. I’ve soon learned to admire the steadfast character of the man and appreciate his very unusual scientific attainments. Your loss will be that of the entire medical profession and suffering humanity an earnest self sacrificing worker. f59 July 23 1902"</p> <p>Byron George Clark b.1847 a member of the American Institute of Homœopathy wrote:</p> <p>"I have not called upon the Doctor for some time chiefly because he always wanted I should go carefully over his case and seemed disappointed at my not offering suggestions when I felt he was under better care than I could give him. … I feel I have lost a friend that will be hard to replace. We were in close sympathy in our ideas of homeopathy and our faith in its work that we felt an honesty that was healthful in each others work and as I have been expecting to move downtown further for some time…I have anticipated quite some pleasure in being near him that we could work together more; but a greater power has decided otherwise and we must bow to his will however hard. f60 July 24 1902"</p> <p>Two manuscript resolutions within honored Dr. Deschere. For example:</p> <p>"At the regular Annual Meeting of the Staff of the Laura Franklin Free Hospital for Children held October 29th 1902 the following resolution was read and unanimously adopted — Whereas: — From the time of its foundation and until his ill-health and death prevented this Hospital has enjoyed the devoted labors of Dr. Martin Deschere and Whereas: — The bountiful store of his professional learning keen observation and innate genius has been freely imparted to the ailing young in this Hospital and elsewhere… be it Resolved: — That the Medical Staff of the Laura Franklin Free Hospital for Children feels deeply the loss of an associate whom we loved; a consultant whose advice we valued; and a consistent and steadfast Homoeopath whose example we would emulate."</p> <p>A retained copy of Dr. Deschere’s letter —to the Alumni Association of the New York Homoeopathic Medical College and Hospital— written on the occasion of the twenty-fifth anniversary of his graduation remarks</p> <p>"It is a sore disappointment to me that I am prevented by illness from appearing before you to-night and addressing you as my pleasant duty demands. … Although unable to address you personally I am with you heart and soul and in this spirit of congeniality I desire to express to you my ideas of how our Association may work to the best interests of our College. …Let us always remember that as graduates of the N. Y. Hom. Med. Coll. & Hosp. we remain thoroughly homoeopathic in our professional work no matter what special field this may cover. The more thoroughly we understand the philosophy of the Law of Similars the closer we adhere to it in our professional duties the more logically we practice according to it at the bedside the more satisfactory will be our results and consequently the higher will be our standard is homoeopathic physicians and the higher will that school be valued that has educated such men. … All our pioneers from Samuel Hahnemann down had added a knowledge of homoeopathic therapeutics to their general knowledge of medicine but only the utilization over this knowledge in their practice stamped them homoeopathic physicians. … Again I know of physicians who have made special studies of homoeopathic therapeutics partly out of curiosity and partly for their own instruction to a degree that they become well versed in that field of science but they never thought of becoming or being considered homoeopathic physicians even though they utilized some of this acquired knowledge in their practice. Therefore I herewith openly protest again the definition of a homoeopathic physician as accepted by the American Institute for if we shall be judged by our works we can only by be judged as homoeopathic physicians by working as such.
