201 pages of profoundly fascinating and delightful illustrated history. Author's father (b. 1870) left Yorkshire, England with his young family for Canada in 1909 and arrived in Fife Lake, Saskatchewan where they spent their first winter in a straw house. Author was born in a sod house in 1910 and moved with his family to Montana when he was 6 years old. At age 14 the family moved to Victoria, B.C. and from there to Nanoose Bay, further up Vancouver Island. Most pages contain brief text, accompanied by the author's simple sketches of the way things were. He has stressed the most practical elements of daily life and survival. A priceless compilation of the challenges and genius of the pioneer. Examples include: how to hunt prairie antelope by wearing a white sheet; avoiding flying ants by erecting a pole to your wagon and hanging a coat at its top; uprooting stumps by tying them to nearby trees to be felled; cutting wood by rigging a buzzsaw to the back wheel of a Model "T" Ford truck; and many, many more. Mentions Vancouver Island landmarks such as the Arlington Hotel, Lantzville Hotel, Quarterway Hotel, and more. This book lends itself wonderfully to teaching youngsters the ways of the not-so-distant past. You will have great difficulty in putting it down. Book
25008Without date or place but docketed in another hand on the reverse including years 1866 and 1867. See Cook’s entry in the Oxford DNB. His temperance hall and hotel illustrated here were built in 1853. The hall was demolished in the 1960s to be replaced by a building typical of those that blight Leicester in 2011; the council gave permission for the hotel to be demolished to make way for another monstrosity. Sepia lithograph printed in landscape on 20 x 13 cm leaf of laid paper extracted from a book or pamphlet. Attractive illustration of an imposing structure with those that flank it and people and coaches in the foreground. Cook’s inscription is written lengthwise and upwards in the right-hand margin. The handwriting is difficult: ‘adopt the scene you have sent / once The I’ll track for post port / Yours very truly / Thos Cook’. Docketed in another hand on the reverse: ‘No 1 / grants. / 2 Bills for 1866 - paid in /67 / 3 Shingleton Bill -’. Without date or place, but docketed in another hand on the reverse, including years 1866 and 1867. unknown

(ca. 45,3 x 33,5 cm). 4 S. Original hellgelbgetönter Bütten-Karton in opulenter Gestaltung mit farbig illustriertem Deckeltitel. Einband mit leichten Gebrauchsspuren, wurde mehrfach gefaltet, wohlerhalten. Altersentsprechend guter Zustand. Die umfängliche Weinkarte im repräsentativen Großformat gehörte zum Hilton Berlin. Die Weinkarte führte sehr viele deutsche Weine, daneben auch Weine aus Frankreich etc. Die Karte aus kräftigem Karton besitzt eine aufwändige Reben-Blätter-Illustration an den Rändern. Da die Weinjahrgänge allesamt bis 1957 datiert sind, stammt die Karte sehr wahrscheinlich von 1958. Das Hilton in Westberlin (Budapester Straße) wurde 1958 mit einem Neubau eröffnet, die Karte war demnach die Karte kurz nach Hoteleröffnung selbst. Seltene Westberliner Archivalie aus den späten 50er Jahren!
