19573436Chiba Japan 1957. Very good plus. Title leaf plus 18 leaves illustrated with forty-three large photographs between 4 x 6 and 8 x 10 inches including a few small panoramic images most with typed captions mounted beneath the pictures. Oblong folio. Contemporary light brown leather. Minor scuffing and edge wear. A unique photograph album created for an American businessman named Richard F. Quandt "In Remembrance of Your Visit to Chiba Iron and Steel Works on May 14 1957" according to the printed dedication on the title leaf. The printed message is signed by the founder of Kawasaki Steel Yataro Nishiyama. The album is populated by over forty photographs featuring the construction and operation of Kawasaki Steel's new integrated steel mill in Chiba City Japan. The photographs picture the staff of Chiba Works a schematic of the plant aerial views of the plant images of the blast furnace coke oven ore yard and other exteriors. Some of the exterior shots include small panoramas of the plant's construction most notably a three-panel panorama showing the "Entire View of Hot & Cold Strip Mill Plant's Construction Work." The interior photographs document the heat control center open heart furnaces soaking pits and several candid shots of Mr. Quandt touring the plant with the managers of Kawasaki Steel.<br /> <br /> According to his 1974 obituary in The New York Times Richard Frederick Quandt was a Hungarian-born businessman who emigrated to the United States after World War II. He first worked for the Hambro Trading Company in 1949. At the time he visited the Chiba Iron and Steel Works he was serving as a loan officer for the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development the lending arm of the World Bank. He was quite likely visiting the Chiba Works at the request of their principal Yataro Nishiyama in search of funding for the steel mill. Nishiyama was an engineer who built Kawasaki Steel into one of the most important steel manufacturing companies in Japan in the ensuing decades. A wonderful and informative photographic artifact of American economic diplomacy in postwar Japan. unknown
21815Near Fine. A striking 1924 Broadway program where theatre and advertising collide featuring bold Pierrot cover art and vividly illustrated Murad cigarette advertisements capturing the intersection of stage culture and early commercial art.<br /> <br /> Issued for a Christmas-week performance of 'Simon Called Peter' this program represents the mature phase of early 20th-century theatre ephemera-where performance promotion and graphic design converge. The cover illustration with its theatrical Pierrot figure emerging before a stylized curtain reflects lingering Art Nouveau influence transitioning toward the emerging Art Deco sensibility of the 1920s.<br /> <br /> Inside the program blends cast listings and theatre information with a notable range of contemporary advertisements. Particularly strong are the full-page illustrated ads including Murad cigarettes and Kelly-Springfield tires which elevate the piece beyond a simple program into a compact gallery of period commercial design.<br /> <br /> DETAILS:<br /> Title: The Klaw Theatre The Magazine Theatre Program<br /> Author: Klaw Theatre Corporation<br /> Date: Week beginning December 22 1924<br /> Format: Staple-bound booklet<br /> Size: 5.25 by 7.75 inches<br /> Pagination: 16 pages<br /> <br /> CONTENT HIGHLIGHTS:<br /> Program for 'Simon Called Peter' a dramatization of Robert Keable's novel<br /> Cast listings and production details for a Broadway presentation by William A. Brady<br /> Distinctive Pierrot cover illustration with strong theatrical composition<br /> Full-page illustrated advertisements including Murad cigarettes and Kelly-Springfield tires<br /> Period typography and layout reflecting 1920s transition from Art Nouveau to Art Deco<br /> Theatre seating diagrams and venue information<br /> <br /> CONDITION: Very Good. The bindings are tight and secure. Text is clean; light even age-toning. Moderate shelf handling wear with minor edge wear; remains visually strong and complete. HISTORICAL CONTEXT -<br /> By the 1920s Broadway theatre programs had evolved into hybrid cultural objects-part performance guide part advertising vehicle and part design showcase. Publications such as this reflect the commercial ecosystem surrounding live theatre where advertisers targeted an urban leisure-oriented audience.<br /> <br /> The presence of nationally recognized brands alongside local theatre content illustrates how programs functioned as early lifestyle media. At the same time the graphic quality of these advertisements-often employing leading illustrators and refined color printing-places such programs within the broader history of American commercial art.<br /> <br /> Today surviving examples are valued not only for their theatrical associations but also for their visual appeal and documentation of early 20th-century advertising and design.<br /> <br /> Subjects: Broadway theatre programs Klaw Theatre New York 1920s theatre Art Deco illustration Murad cigarette advertising American stage history vintage advertising art New York theatre culture Ephemera Theatre Americana unknown

196929710various: various 1969. various. Very Good. Our consignor's father was an aeronautical engineer working for Boeing and assigned to work with NASA on the Apollo program. He did a significant favor for a member of the astronauts office while living in Houston. They asked him what they might do in return. He requested "a full set of Apollo astronaut training manuals" the result of which you see here - 34 items in total. They have remained in the family since. A list of the manuals follows. Many are by the sub-contractors responsible for building the particular systems involved. A remarkable archive. In addition to a letter of provenance from the consignor the archive includes a 1968 Nassau Telephone book showing the previous owner as well as a goodly number of astronauts.<br /> <br /> GRUMMAN MANUALS: The following manuals all state "For training purposes only: In support of LM-5 & Subsequent Subsystem Briefings." and are part of "Contract NAS 9-1100 Exhibit E: Paragraph 3.7.4 Type III Document." They are all three hole punched and held together with dual post "prestong" brand adjustable metal straps with robin blue colored Grumman binder paper with cut-outs for the titles.

It was named after the bald eagle which was featured prominently on the mission insignia. It flew from Earth to lunar orbit on the command module Columbia and then was flown to the Moon on July 20 1969 by astronaut Neil Armstrong with navigational assistance from Buzz Aldrin. Eagle's landing created Tranquility Base named by Armstrong and Aldrin and first announced upon the module's touchdown.
