006222Hardcover. Very Good. Mock-up manuscript for an unpublished children's book manuscript. N.d. circa 1930. Oblong 25 by 38 cm. 15 pages of illustrated text following the manuscript cover. In addition there are three matted illustrations of the semi-abstract animal motives found on the front cover. It is unknown with any certainty why this immensely charming and very professional manuscript was never published. It is our conjecture that the manuscript was submitted early in the Depression when publishers were cutting back on the children's book list and especially color illustrated books both because of the economic straits they were suffering like virtually every industry in the American economy and more specifically perhaps changes in the marketplace for children's books with some shift of buying from families to public libraries with a subsequent drop in overall sales as a result. Nonetheless this manuscript was intended by Bull to be published as on the back cover there is a label indicated that the manuscript had been submitted by Fred A. Wish Inc. presumably Bull's literary agent. The book is a small collection of nonsense verses about animals around a house -- cats dogs mice chickens ducks. Each of the poems runs one to two pages and is accompanied by one to five illustrations with the text and illustrations pasted onto the heavy card stock leaves. Condition: card leaves are detached from spine band. A few minor edge chips to cards. <br/><br/> hardcover books

1939440921939. Photographs with some minor curling at corners. Each with stamp to verso: "Mar 9 1939 / E.H.F.". 14 b/w images 7-7/8" x 9-7/8". Possibly unpublished; while it's entirely reasonable to expect these images may have been published in a small forum such as in a government journal or report initial research is unable to confirm such. <br/><br/>Initially appointed by President Taft in 1911 no doubt as a outgrouth of the North Pacific Fur Seal Convention of 1911 Christoffers served with the Bureau of Fisheries till the 1930s rising to the position of Chief Warden. From mss notes on the back of each image we see Christoffers is credited for photographing these 14 scenes and presumably is also the author of the seal activity observations often quite detailed regarding each image also recorded on the photograph verso. The images show divers aspects of the herd with the 'Bull' often featured e.g. "The Harem Master. His favorite resting place a large rock from where he can commanad attention of his silver haired beauties and keep an eye open for interlopers." unknown books
