1917List3648New York City: Leo. Feist Inc. and others 1917. Five pieces of sheet music see full inventory below. Overall very good plus. Julian Eltinge 1881–1941 was the most commercially successful and popular female impersonator of his time. Beginning with drag performances in his adolescence he developed a convincing portrayal of female characters—shocking audiences at the end of shows by revealing that he was in costume—and had a successful career on the vaudeville circuit and on Broadway followed by appearances in several silent films and as mores around crossdressing changed in nightclubs.<br /> <br /> Offered here are five pieces of sheet music written for Eltinge three of which are from the 1910 musical comedy The Fascinating Widow. A New York Times review of the Widow remarks that “once over the initial unpleasantness of the idea of female impersonation which is not easy for people of delicate sensibilities there is nothing especially displeasing about Mr. Eltinge’s efforts at femininity†and notes Eltinge’s popularity and ability to draw crowds.1<br /> <br /> Titles Included:<br /> “In the Land of Wedding Bells.†Howard Johnson and Geo.

Marks on verso reading “Julian Eltinge Hippodrome March 12â€. Very good. Julian Eltinge 1881/1883–1941 was an American actor and “female impersonatorâ€â€”in today’s terms a drag performer—from Newtonville Massachusetts. Eltinge’s drag career began at age ten and by the early 1900s he was touring internationally performing a vaudeville act wherein the “audience was completely deceived as to Eltinge’s sex until he removed his wigâ€1. This portrait shows Eltinge seated in costume. On the reverse is written “Julian Eltinge Hippodrome March 12†and the front is signed “Herold Brown†this signature does not appear to belong to commercial photographer Harold M. Brown. A stamp is legible that dates the photograph to the 1920s though the exact year is not legible. Eltinge has been described as “without question the most famous female impersonator of all time†ibid.<br /> <br /> 1 Slide Anthony “Julian Eltinge†in The Vaudevillians: A Dictionary of Vaudeville Performers Westport Connecticut: Arlington House 1981 46. unknown

1960234611960. Gender nonconforming and drag performance photo archive documenting queer social gatherings costume performance pageantry and private queer community life from the 1960s through the 1990s. The photographs preserve a period when drag culture existed simultaneously in nightlife informal house parties outdoor gatherings and small community events often outside mainstream visibility. Long before drag became widely commercialized through television and corporate entertainment circuits queer performers and gender nonconforming individuals built their own social spaces through costume parody theatricality and communal celebration.<br /> <br /> Photo archive of 22 color and silver gelatin photographs ranging from small vernacular snapshots to larger prints United States circa 1960s-1990s. Several images center on a recurring bridal drag performer wearing lace wedding dresses veils floral bouquets wigs and exaggerated makeup while posing beside guests in tuxedos theatrical costumes and evening attire. Other photographs depict individuals in burlesque-inspired outfits feather boas crop tops wigs and handmade dresses posed indoors and outdoors at parties picnics and performance-like gatherings. One outdoor scene shows two figures in matching feminine costumes smiling arm in arm while additional images record staged poses beside vehicles improvised dance or performance gestures and casual snapshots emphasizing glamour and gender transformation. The archive repeatedly shifts between formal costume display and relaxed social interaction grounding drag not only as stage entertainment but as an everyday form of queer expression and community-making.<br /> <br /> The photographs align with broader developments in post-Stonewall queer culture when drag performance expanded from underground bars and private parties into increasingly visible forms of social and artistic expression. During much of this period openly gender nonconforming presentation still carried substantial social and legal risk especially outside major urban nightlife districts. This archive preserves the social fabric surrounding drag culture through intimate portrayals of friendships amateur performance gender experimentation and private community environments that sustained queer life across several decades. Light handling wear scattered creasing and occasional fading consistent with vernacular snapshot use. Overall in good condition. unknown
1880230281880. Cross-dressing Archive of six 19th century photographs of cross-dressing performers Springfield Illinois capturing early American drag performance during a period when public cross-dressing outside performance contexts could provoke not only social but legal backlash. These cross dressing portrait photographs created in Springfield Illinois during the late nineteenth century document early visual culture of gender nonconforming performance in the United States decades before modern LGBTQ identities were publicly articulated. The photographs show male individuals posed in women's clothing and adopting stylized feminine presentation part of a broader nineteenth century culture in which gender impersonation circulated in entertainment spaces private gatherings and visual novelty photography while remaining socially and legally sensitive in everyday life. Public cross dressing outside stage contexts could provoke moral condemnation and in many cities legal sanction under emerging anti cross dressing ordinances that appeared in the late nineteenth century. Portraits such as these therefore preserve rare visual evidence of early drag presentation and gender play at a moment when photographic studios documented identities and performances that existed at the margins of accepted social norms such portraits illuminate early emerging cross-dressing long before twentieth century drag entertainment or even the articulation of modern LGBTQ identities.<br /> <br /> Six original photographs produced in Springfield Illinois ca. 1880s to 1890s consisting of five cabinet cards and one tintype depicting cross dressing individuals posed in elaborate women's attire. The cabinet cards bear the imprint of Kessberger and Georg Studio of Springfield. Subjects appear against painted studio backdrops typical of commercial portrait photography of the period. Costumes include knee length dresses with lace trim aprons bows bonnets stockings and heeled shoes with attention given to wigs coiffure and accessories. Several figures hold musical instruments including trombone cornet and clarinet suggesting coordinated presentation or group identity among the sitters. Gestures emphasize stylized femininity including a figure lifting a skirt in exaggerated pose and another standing with hand placed at the hip. Also includes one smaller tintype photograph shows a similarly costumed man with a tick mustache in women's nightgown and holding a parasol. Cabinet card mounts show moderate edge wear and minor corner bumping with light surface scratches typical of late nineteenth century albumen studio photography. Images remain clear with strong contrast and well preserved costume detail. Overall Very good condition. Together the photographs form a cohesive visual archive documenting late nineteenth century cross dressing and early drag presentation in the American Midwest preserving rare photographic evidence of gender non conforming identity and performance practices that circulated in American culture long before twentieth century LGBTQ communities began to organize publicly. unknown

The failure of this experiment was a serious blow to classical scientific theories because it cast doubts on the existance of the universal ether which had been a basic principleof for example the Newtonian theories of the universe. Vide PMM: 378 401 408.The paper appeared first in the "American Journal of Science" in November as offered here and was published a month later in "Philosophical Magazine" in a slightly modified form."Michelson trained at the U.S. Naval Academy and Morley minister turned chemist began a series of experiments to determine the relation of ether drift and the velocity of light effects of extremely minute values. They used a slightly silvered glass set angular to a ray of sunlight so that a part ofthe ray was transmitted a part reflected out and again returned thereby providing two paths one perpendicular to the other. If drift existed the superimposed rays would produce interference. None was observed showing that the earth's motion did not affect the light's speed. The negative result held revolutionary implications which led directly thru Lorentz and Einstein to the acceptance of new standards of reference of time and space from geometry and cosmometry."DibnerIn 1919 Einstein met Michelson in California. At a dinner given in honor of them both Einstein said in a speech "You Michelson uncovered an insidious defect in the ether theory of light as it existed and stimulated the ideas of H.A. Lorentz and Fitzgerald out of which the Special Theory of Relativity developed. Without your work this theory would today be scarcely more than an interesting speculation." In an interview in 1842 Einstein said: "It is no doubt that Michelson's experiment was of considerably influence upon my work insofar as it strengthened my conviction concerning the validity of the Principle of relativity.On the other side I was pretty much convinced of the validity of the principle before I did know this experiment and its result. In any case Michelson's experiment removed practically any doubt about the validity of the principle in optics and showed that a profound change of the basic concepts of physics was inevitable."Michelson was awarded the 1907 Nobel Prize "for his optical precision instrument the inteferometer and the spectroscopic and metrological investigations he has carried on."Dibner: Heralds of Science: 161 lising the later version from "Philosophical Magazine" - Norman 1505.- Magee "A Source Book in Physics" pp. 369 ff. the later paper.The volume contains another paper by Michelson and Morley "On a method of Making the Wave-lenght of Sodium Light the actual and practical Standard of Lenght" pp. 427-430. </em> unknown
