12783Ordered by The House of Commons to be Printed 25 June 1866. 28 1 pp. 8vo. In fair condition on aged and lightly-worn paper. P. 1 has the drophead title: 'STRAND UNION WORKHOUSE. RETURN to an Order of the Honourable The House of Commons dated 25 June 1866; - for COPY "of the REPORT made by R. B. Crane Esquire Poor Law Inspector to the Poor Law Board after an Inquiry held by him on the 4th and 6th June 1866 into certain Allegations made by Matilda Beeton in reference to the Treatment of the Sick in the Strand Union Workhouse." Poor Law Board 25 June 1866. ENFIELD Secretary.' Beeton was an early whistleblower: she had previously described the appalling conditions at the Rotherhithe Workhouse Infirmary. Among her charges in this case are 'The Theft and Sale of Beer &c. by the Patients and Nurses and the Sale of Milk by one class of Inmates to another' and 'The Badness of the Washing the Drunkenness of the Washerwomen and the Defective Supply of Linen for the Sick'. 'Several cases of a very distressing character are described in the evidence' and among Cane's conclusions after a detailed enquiry are that 'Want of space and of proper accommodation for the sick and want of good nursing and of efficient attendance are now the urgent requisites of this establishment. . There may be reasons why the guardians should feel embarrassed and hesitate to carry out their resolution to build a new workhouse; but there are no reasons that I am aware of which prevent them from at once appointing a sufficient staff of efficient nurses and attendants upon the sick.' Scarce: no copy of the actual document as opposed to 'Electronic Resources' to be found on COPAC or OCLC WorldCat. For an outline of the affair see Ruth G. Hodgkinson's 'The Origins of the National Health Service' 1967 pp.492-3. Ordered, by The House of Commons, to be Printed, 25 June 1866. unknown
161923330N. Y.: Camera Work 1916-1917. First only editions of the final two issues of Alfred Stieglitz's monumental photographic periodical Camera Work including in number 48 the earliest appearance in print of the work of Paul Strand and in number 50 an issue entirely dedicated to the work of Strand. Limited to 500 copies printed. "The work of Paul Strand was the first photography to excite Stieglitz in a long time. He saw Strand as practicing a truly photographic version of the kind of forceful representation he found in painters like Picasso and Matisse and he presented Strand's work as a clean break even changing the time-tested production methods of Camera Work Strand's photogravures were printed on thicker paper and with different inks." - Roth 101 pp. 42-43. Issue No. 48 includes six photographs by Strand six halftones by Steiglitz of installations at his gallery 291 and single photographs by Frank Eugene Arthur Allen Lewis and Francis Bruguiere. Issue No. 49/50 includes eleven original photogravures all after work by Strand among them "The White Fence" "Abstraction Porch Shadows" and "Abstraction Bowls". One cannot overestimate the importance of these two issues of Camera Work. As Milton Brown has noted the appearance of Strand's portrait series herein "was a revelation. Even today they are strikingly powerful images; they were then a new stage in photographic realism. The close-up views and cropping of negatives cut off the subjects from their environment sometimes even breaking the frame and riveting attention entirely on the physiognomic and psychological revelation of individuality character and social condition. . . . Strand's experiments with abstraction and the machine were his unwitting contribution to the history of photography: the portraits basic to the rest of his development are the first clear expression of his own aesthetic philosophy." - Milton W. Brown "The Three Roads" in Paul Strand: Essays on His Life and Work. Edited by Maren Stange. Aperture 1990 p. 29. Although not noted in the volumes these two issues of Camera Work came from the collection of James Johnson Sweeney at various times the Curator of Painting and Sculpture at MOMA the second Director of the Guggenheim Museum and the Director of the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. .

The text blocks are clean bright and sound largely unopened. A bit of offsetting from plates to the facing pages as usual somewhat more pronounced in No. 49/50 but not affecting the images themselves. Wrappers are clean with only very light wear; the hinges are firm and there is no creasing or darkening of the spines. Overall both issues are in near fine and extremely scarce thus. . 2 volumes small folio illustrated with 9 and 11 original photogravures respectively original printed wrappers.

Text in 43 lines including header and signature; ca 350 words. Small scuff at center-right costing a few characters but no loss of sense; old folds; Very Good overall. <br /> <br /> The circular announces a strike action by Indianapolis machinists against the Pennsylvania Railroad which had instituted a piece-work system at the beginning of 1892 and calls for a general boycott on the Penn; it is specifically addressed to fellow union members traveling to the IAM's national convention in Indianapolis imploring them to travel by some other route. "The 'sweating system' or as the Pennsylvania R.R. Co. is pleased to call it 'piece work' unless checked will degrade the toilers to such an extent that they will be.little better than the Russian serfs who can not call their souls their own lest the Czar by a single word would send them before their Maker." An uncommon flyer from a little-remembered and presumably short-lived rail strike one of hundreds of small local labor actions in the turbulent year of 1892. Not separately recorded in OCLC.
