192058739Philadelphia PA: The Philadelphia MuseumsCommercial Museum of Philadelphia Exhibits Bureau ca. 1920. Archive of 52 mounted silver gelatin photographs sized 7 x 9 in. mounted on 9.75 x 12 in. gray studio board mounts all imprinted w/ white lettering at lower right corners and captions below images a few have photographer’s original imprints w/in the negative and printed explanatory text on light gray versos minor edgewear rubbing wear to some corners minor bowing to mounts as usual a few boards w/ edgewear wear at corners 1 photo w/ soiling still a VG group of photos w/all retaining bright strong contrast. This archive serves as an excellent surviving visual aid from the “Miniature Museum†exhibits created by the Commercial Museum of Philadelphia before and after World War I in order to promote foreign trade and develop international commerce for U.S. products. Sponsored by manufacturers suppliers and many different companies who would supply products to the Commercial Museum these interactive exhibits were intended to illustrate not only useful products of other countries and the advantage for trade in the U.S. but also to underlie important facts of modern industry. Dispatched for free these sample exhibits contained a cupboard at the base in which an educator or lecturer could place photographs and additional exhibits which would revolve on loan for assorted subjects to be taught. The photographs preserved here include those used originally with such trays as the “Beverages; Brush Fiber; Carbon; Coconut; Cotton; Cow; Flax; Gums & Resins; Iron; Ores & Metals; Rice; Rope Fiber; Rubber; Silk; Spice; Sugar & Wheat.†For instance this unknown instructor ordered for the “Beverages Drawer Exhibit†the photographs “Picking Tea†in Japan “Tea Factory†in Ceylon “Tea Ships†in Formosa Taiwan or “Picking Coffee†in Brazil which would have then been used with a series of large folding or rolling maps to be displayed as part of a multi-media presentation. As the cases were heavy and fragile these were sent out in place and further education materials would be dispatched to enhance their use but unfortunately classroom usage resulted in frequent lost and damaged photographs. Also present here are photos for “Camels Carrying Charcoal†into Constantinople Turkey; “Cutting Bananas†in Jamaica; “Cocoanut Plantation†& “Making Cocoanut Oil†in Ceylon; or the “Iron Furnace†in Hankow China or “Rope Factory†in Hong Kong. Two of the photos for Mexico include one still retaining the original caption for Charles Betts Waite of a smelter operation in Aguascalientes Mexico and another of the Sirena Mine in Guanajuato Mexico with the photographer’s imprint scratched out in negative but appears to have been a Winfield Scott image. Other images show the bustling harvesting of spices in Ceylon Singapore Jamaica and German East Africa rubber plantations in the Amazon Valley of Brazil and panning gold in Vancouver B.C. and hydraulic gold mining in Otago New Zealand with image by Burton Bros. of Dunedin. The Rice and Silk sections both offer excellent views of both processes in late Meiji and Taisho-era Japan. The Commercial Museum which originally opened in 1897 was the foremost source of international trade knowledge for American manufacturers in the early 20th Century. Slowly other Trade Commissions and Exhibitions supplanted the Commercial Museum and by the 1950’s the Miniature Museum visual aid exhibits had become obsolete and many had been broken up or photographs and samples dispersed through use. Although the Museum continued to provide programming and display exhibits until 1994 it was then closed indefinitely. See: Charles R. Toothaker Curator Educational Work of the Commercial Museum of Philadelphia Bulletin 1920 No. 13 Dept. of the Interior Bureau of Education 1921 includes images of assorted variations of the original oak sample cases and even large display of possible photo choices; Katelyn Wolfrom Rise and Fall of the Philadelphia Commercial Museum: How a Forgotten Museum Forever Altered American Industry Independence Seaport Museum Spring 2010.

1980ST20505-15Los Angeles: Dawson's Book Shop 1980. EACH ONE OF 125 COPIES. 47 x 38 mm. 2 x 1 1/2". 18 pp. 1 leaf. Two copies of the same work sold separately. <br/> Deep brown half morocco over marbled paper boards flat spine lettered in gilt. WITH A LEAF FROM the Newberry Bible. De Hamel and Silver "Disbound and Dispersed" 168.5. As new; one copy with the inserted leaf a bit browned with a small open tear to the margin not affecting the text but still excellent; the other with a very fine leaf just a bit browned at the edges.<br/> <br/> These two copies of this delightful publication feature a leaf of the famed 1780 Newberry "Thumb Bible" accompanied by an essay written by one of the 20th century's most noted collectors of miniature books. It is a charming tribute on the bicentennial of the publication of one of the world's smallest Bibles. The Newberry Bible fully titled "The Bible in Miniature or a Concise History of the Old & New Testaments" was produced by Elizabeth Newberry the niece of John Newbery pioneering children's book publisher and the namesake of the Newberry Medal. Ruth E. Adomeit 1912-96 was a lifelong miniature book enthusiast: along with being known for her personal library she wrote the leading bibliography of thumb bibles was editor of "The Miniature Book Collector" from 1960-62 and was active in the Miniature Book Society. This publication is made especially charming by its size which perfectly fits the tiny leaf it contains. Dawson's Book Shop unknown
1991ST20505-14Los Angeles: Printed and bound by Pall Bohne for Dawson's Book Shop 1991. ONE OF 60 COPIES. 65 x 45 mm. 2 1/2 x 1 3/4". 20 pp. 1 leaf. <br/> Quarter red leather over patterned paper boards flat spine lettered in gilt Dutch gilt endpapers.<br /> With a leaf from the Kleine Print miniature bible containing an excellent engraving of Jezebel and Jehu from 2 Kings 9. DeHamel and Silver "Disbound and Dispersed" 196.5. See also: Welsh 938; Spielmann 280. The book in mint condition the inserted leaf just slightly browned at edges but fine and fresh.<br/> <br/> This charming little leaf book pays tribute to a very rare miniature Bible published around 1750 in The Hague. Composed entirely of engravings printed on one side only the work is a masterpiece of small-scale printing. In the words of the Spielmann Catalogue "Many of the scenes depicted in the original Bible are of astounding beauty considering the tiny scale upon which the artist had to work." The genesis of the present leaf book was the acquisition by the noted miniature book collector Ruth E. Adomeit 1910-96 of a fragment of 61 leaves from this Bible which she obtained during a European trip in 1953. Our copy contains an engraving showing the meeting between the military commander Jehu and the wicked Queen Jezabel which ends with Jezebel's being thrown from a window by her eunuchs. We see her mid-fall and upside down in the present image while Jehu watches triumphantly from his chariot. Not surprisingly given its small print run this item is not commonly seen for sale.
